Liang Er walked down the village wall and asked, "Brother, do you think the people from the Tiger Flag will really attack our village?"
"I hope they take action." Liang Da said, "Second brother, tell the brothers in the village to prepare more gold juice to roll wood and rocks. As long as they dare to attack the village, I will tell them to come back."
"Okay." Liang Er agreed.
There was no shortage of gold juice and stones in the village, and it didn't take long to collect a lot of them.
The golden juice boiling in several large pots under the wall of the village was gurgling in the pots.
Outside the cottage.
Liu Heng and his people waited for the artillery crew to arrive.
About a quarter of an hour later, a team of dozens of people came up from the bottom of the mountain. Leading the way was Zheng Chao and several artillery crews. Everyone was either carrying a cannon on their shoulders or carrying gunpowder and iron beads. .
"Master, the artillery crew is here." Zhao Yutu's eyes lit up when he saw the artillery crew.
Liu Heng glanced coldly at the cottage in front of him, and then said: "Tell Zheng Chao to use the Fo Lang machine cannon to blast open the gate of the cottage for me."
Zheng Tie rode on horseback to inform Zheng Chao.
The artillery crew stopped when it was more than 200 steps away from the cottage. The two Franco machine guns were installed on the brackets, positioned, and aimed at the wooden door of the cottage through the sight. Four gunners were left beside each Franco machine gun. .
The gunner of the Crouching Tiger Cannon carried the Crouching Tiger Cannon and walked a hundred steps forward. He stopped to load the gunpowder and iron balls. The gunner stood aside and waited for the order to fire.
The person commanding the Fo Lang machine gun was Hu Guangyi, and he ordered: "Gunner, prepare, load the gun."
Each Franco machine gun was prepared with nine sub-guns for replacement. One of the gunners picked up a sub-gun and loaded it into the mother cannon.
"Fire!" Hu Guangyi waved his command flag.
Two Franco cannons fired one after another, and two iron bullets flew out, flying straight towards the mountain stronghold.
An iron bullet hit the wall of the village, causing the village wall to shake. A piece of wood on the wall was broken by the iron bullet, and splinters flew. However, it failed to penetrate the wall, and the iron bullet slipped to the ground.
The thick stockade wall has several layers. Although a section of wood on the stockade wall was broken, it couldn't be penetrated by one or two shots.
Another iron bullet accurately hit the village gate, and there was a click. The thin layer of the village gate was pierced by the iron bullet. It fell into the village through the gap and flew to the head of a bandit behind the village gate. , directly smashed the bandit's head, blood and brains burst out, splashing red and white things around, and the bandit's body fell to the ground.
The iron bullet fell to the ground, bounced back, and hit a bandit's thigh, directly cutting off the bandit's thigh.
The bandit's feet were in the air, half of his body lacked support, and he immediately became unstable. He tilted his body and fell to the ground, screaming in pain.
The iron bullet hit the ground and bounced off again, but this time it only hit the air. In the end, it lost kinetic energy and fell to the open ground. It no longer bounced and only made a spherical circular crater on the ground.
In such a tragic situation, all the bandits behind the village gate ran away, leaving only the bandits with broken legs wailing on the ground.
Shi Yunhu, who was hiding by the wall of the village, said with an ugly face: "The people in the Tiger Flag have cannons, they have cannons! This damn cannon is not a squatting tiger cannon."
The Crouching Tiger Cannon cannot be so powerful.
"I know there is a cannon." Liang Da said with a livid face, "What the hell kind of cannon is this? It even penetrated the village gate."
"No, I don't know." Shi Yunhu shook his head vigorously, feeling an uneasy feeling in his heart.
I feel like Erliang Mountain may be in danger this time.
Outside the cottage.
The gunner of the Fo Lang machine gun used a hook to pull out the sub-gun from the mother cannon, loaded it with a new sub-gun, readjusted the angle, and fired at the gate of the cottage again.
boom! boom!
Two cannon shots were fired one after another, and two iron bullets flew out, accurately hitting the gate of the cottage. Splinters of wood flew everywhere, revealing two holes as big as a human head.
The bandits behind the gate of the cottage had long since hid behind the wall. The iron bullets only ricocheted a few times in the open space inside the cottage and finally landed on the ground.
A Franco machine gun had nine muskets prepared. The gunner on the side skillfully pulled out the muskets with a hook, cleaned the barrel, replaced them with new muskets, and continued to fire.
The gunner had to reload the replaced musket.
Shi Yunhu looked at the hole in the village gate and said to Liang Da on the side: "Master Liang, this won't work. The gate of the village will be broken sooner or later, and something must be blocked."
Liang Da also thought of this and said: "Master Shi Da, why don't you take people over and seal the village gate with bed boards and rolling wood."
Shi Yunhu did not move, but said: "My people are not familiar with the situation in the village, so it is best to leave it to the brothers in Erliang Mountain."
Everyone knows that the artillery outside the cottage is blasting at the gate of the cottage. If you block the door at this time, there will definitely be casualties. The bandit whose leg was broken is still wailing on the ground.
Liang Er, who was not far away, said with a calm expression: "Master Shi Da, what do you mean? Do you want my brothers from Erliang Mountain to do dangerous things? Then you and your people should just leave Erliang Mountain."
"Master Liang Er is joking. At this time, everyone should work together." Shi Yunhu smiled, but he never mentioned that his people were looking for something to block the door.
"Forget it, since Master Shi Da doesn't want to, I won't force it." Liang Da turned to look at Liang Er and said, "Second brother, let our people remove the bed and door panels and use them to block the gate of the cottage."
"Brother..." Liang Er opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Liang Da waving his hand.
Shi Yunhu said at this time: "Master Liang, I'm afraid the door panels won't work. It's best to use earth and stone."
Hearing this, Liang Er said dissatisfiedly: "Since you know so well, why don't you let your people get some earth and rocks back to block the gate of the cottage."
Shi Yunhu coughed and said: "I have said that my people are not familiar with the situation in the village. It is appropriate for the brothers from Erliang Mountain to do these things."
Liang Er snorted coldly. He still didn't understand Shi Yunhu's little thoughts, but now was not the time to judge. The most important thing was to withstand the bombardment.
The Fo Lang machine guns outside the cottage were still blasting at the gate of the cottage, each time blowing off a wooden board on the gate and making a hole.
Liang Da took a look and knew that if things continued like this, before Liang Er could prepare the things, the gate of the cottage would be unable to hold on and be destroyed in advance.
Then he looked in the direction of the turret and shouted: "Archers, shoot arrows for me, shoot arrows at their gunners."
He did not ask the archers on the turret to perform meritorious service. He only hoped that the archers could bring pressure to the gunners outside, slow down the speed of shelling the village, and buy time for Liang Er and the others.
The archers on the turret received the order, drew their bowstrings, and fired at the gunners outside the stronghold.
The archers in Erliang Mountain all use soft bows. Even if they stand on the turret, from a high position, the distance they can shoot is only about a hundred or so steps. The arrow falls to the ground feebly only seven or eight steps away from the Tiger Crouching Cannon. As for the arrow that is further back, The Folan cannon is even worse.
"Damn it, I haven't bombarded you archers yet, but you are getting excited first." Zheng Chao ordered the gunner of the squatting tiger cannon next to him, "raise the muzzle of the cannon and let me blast the ones on the turrets." Archer."
