"One, two, three...get up...one, two,three...get up..."
On the city wall east of Chongwen Gate, countless soldiers shouted slogans. Six strong soldiers, three on each side, carried a thick jujube wood pole on their shoulders. The weight of 250 kilograms had to be shared among six people. On one’s shoulders!
According to common sense, there is no problem if the average weight of less than 50 kilograms is shared by one person, but no one thought that the defenders of Chongwen Sect were already impure!
The soldiers shouting slogans made the red cannon loose twice with force. Over a hundred years of wind and sun, a lot of rust was stuck to the stone shelf below!
How easy is it to get mobile these days? You have to use your strength to lift it up while someone is knocking on it from below! Someone even had to use a crowbar to pry underneath!
But there were many people in the darkness, and some of them started to make small moves!
The one-inch long pocket knife slipped out of the cuff, gently slid twice on the hemp rope, and cut a shallow groove. Then the pocket knife jumped back into the sleeve with a shake of the hand.
This secret agent of the CIA also deliberately pretended to be working hard and shouted slogans to the soldiers, "Use more force! It's about to get up... one, two, three... get up!"
Everyone suddenly exerted force, and the red-clothed cannon really moved and was lifted up to a foot high from the ground. However, as soon as it was lifted up, there was a popping sound, and all three hemp ropes at the tail broke!
This time, the 250 kilogram cannon suddenly fell onto the city wall again, dragging six bargemen to the ground with it!
ah! With a scream, the instep of a soldier was crushed to pieces by the cannon. It looked like he was completely disabled!
"It's over... I'm going to die too! How can I explain this to the prince? The court wants to deal with us severely..."
Before the officer could finish his emotion, he heard a sudden copper sound, and then a ricochet landed on the city wall!
"Get down... they're shooting at us!"
It turned out that the abnormal movement of Chongwen Gate attracted the attention of the airship. The heavy machine guns on the flanks fired intimidatingly, pouring more than a thousand rounds of bullets on the city wall at once!
Chuchuchu... there was a dense sound of copper, the bullets crackled on the city bricks, and some flew past the city head!
These defenders were so frightened that they lay on the ground and chanted Buddha's name, not daring to raise their heads at all. Some of the timid ones even fainted when their eyes darkened!
It's over... The defense system of the inner city of the Qing Dynasty was completely helpless against the airship. Everyone could only watch as more than a hundred special forces members safely boarded the airship!
"Sign up...points...Ye Qiu...Pang Chaoyun...Suzuki Tai..."
Names were called one by one, and answers came one after another. Pierre checked the list three times in a row and finally determined that there were more than one brother!
"Okay, okay...Hurry up and give the cotton and leather coats to the brothers. Let's go home. We will go out of the city to replenish fuel in Yangcun and then go back to the special zone..."
"Tanggu served everyone a celebratory drink. The task was completed beautifully today!"
Ye Qiu glared at Pierre, "Beautiful? What's so beautiful? Our original plan was to have zero casualties, but now look at it, three people were seriously injured and twenty-four were slightly injured... Fortunately, no one died. If someone died, you would be like this The big nose is to blame!”
"Why are you late? Ah... why are you eating!"
Pierre stamped his feet and said, "You don't understand things in the sky. Today, the wind suddenly intensified, and there was turbulence in the air. The airship lost control several times!"
"You think I'm willing to be late!"
The two of them yelled a few words just to vent their emotions. On the side, Dr. Huang Xie checked the bodies of the wounded and came out to make peace.
"Don't say it anymore...I just checked, and none of the brothers have fatal injuries. If you take good care of them, they will be as good as before! Thanks to the bulletproof equipment of the head of state!"
The soldiers were holding their helmets with bullet holes and bullet-proof steel plates with grooves all over them. At this moment, they were a little scared!
It is precisely because the vital parts of the body are covered and protected that there are no dead people, only injured ones. This special warfare equipment is really life-saving!
"Leave the rest to the goddess Cai Bixia! With the killing tonight, it will be much easier for her to negotiate tomorrow!"
"Walk home..."
Just when Pierre was about to give the order to go home, Ye Qiu suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist, "Wait a minute... I have an idea. See if you can send the wounded to Yangcun and let the Intelligence Bureau take over and send them back to the Special Administrative Region! "
"Since we are here to deter the Qing Dynasty, let's fight to the end...Tonight's battle has exposed the shortcomings of the Qing Dynasty's defense. They have no weapons to deal with our airships!"
"We've replenished fuel. How about cruising for three days as a deterrent? Give us Miss Cai Bixia some support! Maybe if we cruise for three days, we can help the head of state win hundreds of thousands more taels of silver!"
Is this plan feasible? Several commanders got together to discuss for a long time. Pierre was a gold medal intelligence officer. His best skill was analysis. He thought about all the risks!
"What you said is interesting... The only weapon that threatens us in the Qing Dynasty is the red cannon on the city wall. But the city wall of the capital is only more than ten meters high. Even if the cannon is raised at an angle of thirty degrees, the area it covers is not very large. !”
"As long as we keep patrolling at an altitude of thirty meters, the Manqing on the ground will not be able to deal with us at all!"
"Thirty meters is the distance that the people can see clearly. Let's scare them..."
"That's right, let's do that. Now let's retreat first and send the wounded away to replenish fuel..."
The sound of the heavy machine gun finally stopped, and the battlefield fell into a brief period of calm. The French instructor Che Dovan crawled out from behind the body of the dead horse. He looked at the black shadow in the sky in horror, and he really didn't know what it was like. !
"Is this the airship that my compatriots are talking about? It turns out that my motherland was defeated by such a weapon... God, why don't you love us anymore?"
"Why do you let foreigners master such powerful weapons? Prussia... you are the public enemy of Europe, you are the traitors of Europe!"
"Damn it, damn it...I have said before that the troops cannot leave the cannons. Even the troops stationed in the city must bring the cannons in!"
"Even if there is only one field artillery today, we won't lose like this! I hate it so much... I hate it so much... Someone, take me to see Prince Gong, I must get the cannon today!"
Prince Gong no longer has the mind to talk to Xie Duowan. At this moment, Prince Gong is lying in the duty room of Daqing Gate. A group of guards are fanning and pinching people to save him!
After a sudden change, Prince Tian Gong finally came to his senses. Hearing that there was no gunfire outside, he said quietly, "Where is the enemy... are they still in the city?"
"Prince Qi, that weird airship has taken away all the enemies, flying higher and higher outside the city..."
"Hey... this is my fault, this is my fault... write me a report immediately. I should not be the prime minister! I should not be..."
"I will stay behind closed doors to recuperate...I will never care about these things again..."
