"Fuck, godfather, why did you kill him..."
Liu Jinzhong's godson Liu Erhu looked at his godfather who had just committed a murder and was speechless.
Liu Jinzhong glared at him fiercely, "Why do you need to worry about me killing someone?"
"No, no, no..." How could Liu Erhu dare to let his godfather kill anyone? He is not Liu Jinzhong's biological son. If he really pisses off this cheap dad, it's time for him to get stabbed! But Mr. Liu still has to talk to his godfather about some things!
"Fuck, godfather, he is the commander of the artillery team of Dongguan Town Humen Association..."
"I will explain it to Dongguan Zhang Guoxun!" Liu Jinzhong snorted, "I'm sorry he doesn't dare to do anything to me!"
"Then, what should we do now?" Boss Liu asked, looking at Liu Jinzhong who was in charge of killing and not burying people. "Godfather, among the artillerymen from Dongguan Town, he and a man named Cui Liu are the best. So Cui Liu is the best." Among the artillery forts in Bei Xihebei, his whereabouts are now unknown..."
There were only two people with good skills in total, but now they are all gone. How can we still shoot like this?
However, Liu Jinzhong didn't care about this, his face darkened, and he glanced at the dozens of gunners who were watching the murder scene fiercely, making the group of people tremble.
"Listen up, you all. I am personally here to watch and watch you all fire the cannon. Give me a good shot! If you don't hit the target for a quarter of an hour, I will kill a cannon head to sacrifice the cannon...another quarter. If the bell misses, kill the second cannon head, and so on. After killing the cannon head, kill the gunner, until they are all killed!
Whichever cannon hits the pontoon first, I will recommend the cannon head to be the commander, no, directly to be the commander, and the other gunners will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver! "
Liu Jinzhong firmly believed that there must be brave men under heavy rewards, and if heavy rewards failed, there would be heavy punishments!
With a two-pronged approach, we can definitely force the people below to work hard.
But the problem is... Sex is a technical job. If you don't learn the "truth" well, you won't be able to just fight with your life. If not, it will become more and more chaotic!
However, facing the blood-stained knife in Liu Jinzhong's hand, these gunners did not dare to say any more, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to work with their hearts and minds.
Liu Jinzhong's godson was quite reasonable. Because he was worried that his father would actually commit murder later, he asked Liu Jinzhong to "sit in charge" behind a low wall made of mud, and also called him "waiting for him". "Good news" - this place was actually a bunker for the artillerymen to hide from the bomb blast after lighting the fuse. Now it is occupied by Liu Jinzhong. The unlucky gunners have no place to hide, so they have to risk the bomb blast to operate the artillery.
And Liu Jinzhong's temporary disappearance did not eliminate the fear of the gunners - Liu Jinzhong and Liu Zongzhen had already killed their boss, and his words were obviously not a joke!
But these days, shooting is just a matter of luck and character. Not to mention those gunners who don't understand the "truth", even if Zhu Hesheng personally measures and calculates, the hit rate will not be much higher... After all, these Chongzhen The cast-iron cannons made during the period were not very accurate, and the shells and gunpowder filled in them were not standard parts. All kinds of errors are superimposed together, and no matter how you calculate or measure, it will not be accurate.
What's worse is that under Liu Jinzhong's intimidation, this group of artillerymen, who were already very skilled in art, has completely fallen into panic, especially the three cannon heads, who are all urging the people below to load the ammunition, launch and clean up like crazy. Cannon barrel...Liu Jinzhong said, kill one in a quarter of an hour!
If they can't hit the pontoon within three quarters of an hour, they will all die!
But what can they do? It's nothing more than a few more shots and a few chances.
As for whether the barrel will overheat? Will there be any remaining sparks in the barrel? Even when adding gunpowder, should you pour in one bag or two? And are the projectiles inserted a little too big? I can’t even care anymore!
As the Qing artillerymen loaded and fired regardless, the rate of fire of the three red cannons increased immediately. Of course, Liu Jinzhong, who was sitting behind the earthen wall, couldn't see the busy scene at the three gun emplacements, but he could hear the rumbling sound of artillery one after another... This showed that the gunners were still working very hard.
Knowing that the people below had worked hard, Liu Jinzhong's anger was mostly gone, and he gave up the idea of killing people.
He's not really that unreasonable, it's just that the artillery team leader's words just now were too irritating, as if the cannon had more conscience than he did!
Thinking of this, he waved and called his godson who was guarding him nearby, ready to explain a few words and leave - since the artillery here was working hard, it was only a matter of time before the pontoon was hit.
So he can go back and direct the attack on the pontoon!
As long as the floating bridge can be recaptured, the battle can still be fought.
Liu Erhu had just come over, bent down and put his ear to Liu Jinzhong's mouth, trying to hear clearly what he said amidst the rumble of the cannon.
But before Liu Jinzhong could speak, a huge roar shook his ears to the point of deafness!
Liu Jinzhong and Liu Erhu, who were hiding behind the earth wall, immediately realized that something was wrong. Although they had never seen an explosion, they had always heard of it. So the two of them immediately stood up (straight) behind the earthen wall that was only as high as their chests. They stretched their necks and looked forward. What they saw was just a mess after the cannon exploded!
The one that exploded was the "Guardian General Cannon" awarded by Emperor Chongzhen. The barrel exploded into two pieces, and one section flew more than ten steps and plunged into the mud. Another piece fell to the ground, still smoking. Several people were lying in a mess beside the original gun emplacement, some of whom were already bloody and looked lifeless. There are also people who seem to have suffered no fatal injuries and can still scream. This person is probably the head of this cannon. Now that he had exploded the cannon, he was naturally frightened to death, and when he saw Liu Jinzhong with a fierce look looking at him, he immediately started talking nonsense.
"It's none of my business. This cannon blew up on its own. It committed suicide...the protector of the country committed suicide with his cannon!"
What? Can guns also commit suicide? Is this gun really that loyal?
Liu Jinzhong didn't know whether to believe it or not?
There are about a dozen other gunners in the fort who can still speak (they are the gunners of the other two cannons and were not seriously injured in the explosion just now). They are also afraid that Liu Jinzhong will kill again, so they also help to shout at this time. stand up.
"Yes, yes, the protector general's cannon is alive!"
"Yes, this cannon has always been evil..."
"This is a magical cannon. It has shown its power earlier. Everyone in Dongguan Town knows about it!"
"Yes, everyone in Dongguan Town knows...there is something wrong with this cannon!"
Liu Jinzhong was originally a believer in the theory of ghosts and gods. Now that he heard what they said, he was already 70% convinced.
After believing that the cannon has a spirit, his long-lost conscience has been slightly discovered... Look, the "Guardian General Cannon" knows loyalty and would rather die than bombard the enemy. Lord, what about this person named "Jin Zhong"? What has he been doing all these years? Much worse than "Brother Pao".
Just when Conscience realized it, there was suddenly another faint roaring sound behind him. He hurriedly looked back and saw a sail suddenly appeared on the water of the North Stream of the Rongjiang River!
Reinforcements led by Qiu Hui have arrived, and they are still firing from the bow cannon to cheer up the "rebels" on the Beixi Bridge!
Liu Erhu's trembling voice sounded: "Godfather, there seems to be reinforcements for the rebels on land!"
What? Is there one on land too?
Liu Jinzhong turned around and looked eastward. He only saw the sailboats approaching in formation on the water of Beixi, but he did not see the horse infantry advancing on the shore!
Liu Erhu said with a trembling voice: "North Bank! On the North Bank, we are almost at Beixi Bridge!"
Liu Jinzhong quickly took out a telescope, climbed up the earth wall in front of him with the help of his godson, and then raised the telescope to look north.
What he saw through the telescope were thousands of infantry troops in neat formations, with new armor and flags flying!
Liu Jinzhong identified the military flags they were holding again, then took a deep breath and said: "It's Prince Yanping's Mansion... Prince Yanping's Mansion has sent out troops! This is terrible!"
