"Cannon, cannon, cannon is coming!"
A man wearing linen clothes hurriedly ran in from outside the house.
Yan Siqi, who was sitting behind the table and eating, saw the people below breaking into the room. He frowned and said dissatisfied: "Why are you panicking? If you have anything to say, please stand firm before saying anything."
The visitor stood upright and stammered due to nervousness: "Master, there are a lot of cannons coming from outside, right outside the stockade."
"Where did the cannon come from?" Yan Siqi frowned.
The visitor swallowed his saliva and said: "The cannons brought by the people from the Tiger Flag. There are more than a dozen of them, and they are all placed outside our village, and there are also many people with firecrackers."
At this time, the pock-marked old Xu walked in quickly from outside the house and said eagerly: "Oh no, boss, the people from the Tiger Flag have come to attack our Tenth Village."
Yan Siqi stood up suddenly and said in a cold voice: "It's his grandma's fault, they really dare to take the idea of my ten villages, send the order down, gather the people, and follow me to meet them."
As he spoke, he walked to the wall beside him, took his big knife from it, slung it around his waist, and strode out.
The pockmarked old Xu took two hurried steps and followed behind him.
Together with the man who came to report the news before, the three of them walked towards the outside of the village.
Each of the ten villages has a wooden wall to protect the safety of the village and also to prevent sneak attacks by the natives on the island.
Several people came behind the village wall and climbed up the wall with Yan Siqi.
Three or four hundred steps away from the stockade, a dozen iron cannons were placed in a row, with their dark muzzles pointed in the direction of the stockade.
"Where did the Tiger Flag people get so many cannons!" Yan Siqi said with a livid face.
Previously, his subordinates came to report that the Tiger Flag people had brought cannons. He thought they were tiger squatting cannons. But now after seeing them with his own eyes, he realized that the cannons in front of him were all the same as the four-pound cannons at the Xiangshan Aurangi artillery field. , or in other words, it is simply the four-pounder used by the Ban people.
The pock-marked old Xu's face turned pale, and he said in a slow voice: "These cannons were probably built by Huziqi himself. I heard that Huziqi can not only build ships, but also cannons at Bengang's shipyard."
"Fart, it's not like I haven't seen what the Ming Dynasty's cannons look like. These cannons in front of me are obviously cannons produced by Xiangshan'ao Artillery Field." Yan Siqi cursed.
He had seen Frankie cannons and recognized at a glance that the cannons outside the village were Frankie cannons. He did not believe that the cannons were made by Tiger Flag himself.
The pockmarked old Xu did not argue with Yan Siqi.
Because no matter what the origin of the cannons brought by the Tiger Flag is, as long as these cannons are there, they can easily blast open the gate of Shizhai. The wooden walls of Shizhai cannot stop the cannons of these iron cannons. son.
Yan Siqi pursed his lips, knowing clearly in his heart that no matter where these cannons came from, the threat to Shizhai was real.
"What should I do, boss?" Old Xu with a pockmarked face turned to ask Yan Siqi.
Yan Siqi took a long breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "Send someone to their side and ask the people of the Tiger Flag what they mean and why they came to attack the Ten Villages."
The pockmarked old Xu glanced at him and grinned. Wenxin Academy
There is no need to send someone to ask, he can answer it himself.
Yan Siqi saw that the pockmarked old Xu next to him didn't move. He frowned and said, "What are you still doing? Send someone over and ask!"
The pockmarked old Xu had no choice but to recruit one person and arrange to go to the people of the Tiger Flag.
The gate of the tenth village was opened from the inside, and a young and strong man walked out from the gate, raised his hands, and walked cautiously towards the tiger flag in front.
Yan Siqi lay on the wall of the village, staring at the person sent to teleport.
The people in the Tiger Flag were all hundreds of steps away from the Tenth Village, and there was no obstruction in between. He could clearly see the people he sent over approaching the people in the Tiger Flag.
After a short time, the people sent by Shizhai came back, and with him came back a person from Tiger Character Banner.
When Yan Siqi saw the man with the tiger flag approaching, he turned to his men and said, "Have the archers aim at the man coming over."
There are not many archers in the Ten Villages, and the air on the island is humid, making it difficult to preserve bows and arrows. Therefore, there are less than ten longbows in the entire Ten Villages, but there are more fire guns.
Yan Siqi had left all the archers and longbows with him. Now that the tiger-shaped flag was coming, he brought all the archers to the wall of the village.
About a hundred and fifty steps away from the village wall, the people in the Tiger Flag stopped, and only the young and strong man from the Tenth Village continued to walk back.
"The people in the Tiger Flag are really careful and won't take another step forward." Yan Siqi said in a low voice.
At a distance of one hundred and fifty steps, it is difficult for even the best archers to hit, and the archers in Shizhai all have stone bows, so the arrows cannot shoot that far.
"Master, why don't you ask him how they will retreat with the Tiger Character Flag?" said the pockmarked old Xu next to him.
Looking at the four-pound cannons in front of the village, he was worried that the Tiger Banner people would use cannons to bombard Shizhai. With the ability of Shizhai, there was no way they could withstand the bombardment of so many cannons.
Yan Siqi looked at the people holding the tiger-character flag outside the village wall and shouted: "What does your tiger-character flag mean? Why did you come to attack my Shizhai? Don't forget that when you came to Bengang with your tiger-character flag, without my Shizhai Without our help, it’s impossible for you to gain a foothold in Bengang.”
At this moment, the man a hundred and fifty steps away from the village wall raised an iron trumpet and said loudly: "Master Yan, Mr. Yan admits that your ten villages helped me with the Tiger Flag, so I have always been a tiger." Zi Qi has been tolerating the provocations of your ten villages, but I didn’t expect that this made your ten villages even more serious. Last night, you actually sent people to sneak attack our village of Tiger Flag. Shouldn’t Master Yan give us an explanation?”
After hearing this, Yan Siqi did not immediately answer the other party's words.
There are only two families in Bengang, Tiger Character Banner and Shizhai, plus at most the natives who have hid deep in the woods. The attack on Tiger Character Banner last night was indeed what Shizhai said, and there is no way to shirk it.
The pock-marked old Xu next to him whispered: "Master, it seems that the people in the Tiger Flag will not retreat unless they give an explanation. But if they really want to take action, the cannons outside can completely destroy them." Destroy our ten villages."
Yan Siqi hesitated for a moment and shouted to Yan Weixin outside the village: "I admit that the people who attacked your Tiger Flag Village last night were from our Shizhai Village, but those people did not get orders from me, but acted on their own initiative. It has nothing to do with Shizhai.”
Facing the four-pound cannons of the Tiger Flag, he knew that the situation was stronger than the people, so naturally he could not admit that the surprise attack on the Tiger Flag village was his order, otherwise both sides would have no room for change.
"Does Master Yan really think that just a word of ignorance can erase what happened last night?" Yan Weixin asked in return, holding up a tin trumpet.
Seeing that the other party was chasing her, Yan Siqi was secretly annoyed and shouted: "Then what do you want to do with the Tiger Flag?"
