"call out…"
Just as Ma Wu finished speaking, a perfect parabola with smoke appeared in the sky, accompanied by a gentle sound of breaking through the sky.
"jump…"
In an instant, a deafening huge explosion sounded not far in front of Ma Wu. The power was so great that the splashed sand flew directly in front of Ma Wu.
"What's going on? What's going on? Did the gunner explode the chamber improperly?" Ma Wu exclaimed.
At this moment, not only Ma Wu, but also the green battalion soldiers in the van were frightened by the sudden explosion.
"Fifth brother, it wasn't us who blew up the barrel, it seems to be a shell fired by the rebels." Zheng Rong, who was squatting on the ground, shouted to Ma Wu.
When the dust at the place of the explosion settled slightly, Ma Wu took a closer look. Sure enough, the ten red cannons on the Qing army's side were still intact. However, this sudden cannonball made the gunners in red clothes who were preparing the cannon tremble with fright.
At this time, one of the gunners who reacted from the shock immediately turned around and ran back. While running, he shouted: "Quick... everyone, run quickly. If you don't run, it will be too late."
Facing this gunner's retreat and even shouting for others to follow him, the other gunners became a little confused and didn't understand.
"If we were to run away so quickly after being blown up by someone else, wouldn't it be too obvious that we were defeated? And if we run away so blatantly, the people from the inspection team behind us will definitely be caught and sacrificed." Looking at the escaping gunner, someone from several other gunners said.
However, having said that, moments after the gunner escaped, the other two gunners in his group also fled back.
"These gunners are really as cowardly as rats. They dared to flee after being hit by such a shell. Do they really think that the inspection team behind them is dead? They really don't know whether to live or die." Looking at the three gunners who escaped , Ma Wu laughed.
Sure enough, before Ma Wu finished speaking, an inspector with a red flag in the inspection team guarding the artillery raised a knife to stop the escaping artillerymen, and shouted at them: "Why are you running away? Why don't you hurry up?" Go back to me? If you dare to disturb the morale of the army here again and retreat without authorization, don't blame me for being rude to you. Do you want to die? If you want to die, I don't mind cutting you here with a knife. "
"Don't stop us. Run away quickly. If you don't run, you will die here." The gunner who led the escape shouted loudly to the inspector who came to stop him with a knife.
After hearing the words of the gunner operator, the inspector could not help but laugh angrily and said: "What a joke, are you the only one who can touch me? It seems you don't know whether to live or die."
Although gunnery is a technical job and is very expensive, the inspector decided to go up and teach this ignorant gunner a lesson, so that he would know how high the sky is and how many eyes Lord Ma has.
"A Han artilleryman dares to threaten our Eight Banners warriors from the Qing Dynasty. He simply doesn't know whether to live or die. It seems that if we don't give him a blow, will anyone take the Eight Banners' disciples seriously in the future?" The inspector thought secretly in his heart. .
However, just when the inspector was about to raise his knife and strike at the leader of the artilleryman who was running away. There was a faint sound from the other end of Ma'anshan, and another burst of sound came from the air. However, compared to the small sound before, this time it gave people a dense feeling.
"Run...run quickly..."
At this moment, the gunner who was leading the escape looked back and saw a black mass of artillery shells in the sky. He immediately pushed away the stunned inspector and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"call out…"
"jump…"
"jump jump jump…"
The deafening explosion covered the Qing army's ten red-coated cannons in a matter of seconds.
Dust is everywhere and the wind is blowing.
A strong air current carrying sand and dust blew onto Ma Wu. Suddenly, he felt dirt on his lips and face.
Bewildered and dumbfounded.
Facing the scene in front of him, Ma Wu suddenly felt like peeing.
"It's so scary. Is this the strength of the rebels they have been talking about? Under such a bombing, those gunners must have died!" Ma Wu said with lingering fear.
As a green camp soldier stationed in Xuzhou, Ma Wu had never fought against the bandit suppressing army. Ma Wu's understanding of the bandit suppression army mainly came from the mouths of the green battalion soldiers who came to the Jiangnan bandit suppression camp in Xuzhou as refugees.
As for the power of the bandit-suppressing troops described by the green battalion soldiers in the Jiangnan bandit-suppressing camp, Ma Wu had always thought that it was because they were too cowardly.
"How can we get promoted if we don't earn such easy military merit?" In this regard, Ma Wu said with a lot of ridicule to the green camp soldiers.
But…
"call out…"
"jump jump jump…"
Accompanied by another burst of dense and huge explosions.
The second round of shelling by the bandit suppressing army was unleashed again.
Another strong wind carrying sand and dust blew by, and Ma Wu felt his weak body swaying a little.
"Is this an anti-thief artillery? After such a bombing, everyone will become scum, right?" Ma Wu, who had just laughed at Zheng Rong's timidity, realized at this moment that he was not very brave after all.
He even felt some dampness and heat at the base of his thighs.
Under the second round of artillery bombardment by the bandit suppressing army, it was basically certain that all the people within the range of those ten red-coated cannons were basically dead.
The dust has not yet settled, but the wind and waves remain.
In the sky, the sun is still so bright, and the white clouds are still floating leisurely.
In Ma Wu, I haven't come back to my senses yet.
In the quiet sky, there was another sound.
"call out…"
"Bump...bump...bump...bump..."
The third round of intensive bombing by the bandit suppressing army sounded again.
In the bombing zone, the dust that originally wanted to sink was spread again by the air waves of the bombing.
Time passed slowly, and a gust of wind suddenly rose in the vast land.
The sight of the bombing area blown by the natural wind finally became clear at this time.
The scattered artillery mounts, scattered artillery shells, charred grass, and the incomplete gunpowder barrels ignited by the flames of war all demonstrated the power of the bombing just now and the cruelty of the war.
…
"Haha... Let's all die! How dare you wave a cannon in front of us, even with the level of artillery of the Manchu Tatars, you dare to play with cannons in front of our bandit suppressing army?" At this moment, Li Dezheng, who was standing high in Ma'anshan, He held up the binoculars and looked at the Qing artillery position and said with a smile.
"If you play with artillery with us, you won't be afraid of getting out of your way. When it comes to playing with artillery, we are your ancestors."
