Liuzi and others could no longer care about anything else at this time.
When Xie Yu was calling everyone to go down the mountain, they had already turned their horses and ran quickly down the mountain.
"boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
There was an explosion behind them. Liuzi and others closed their eyes subconsciously, and at the same time begged the gods and Buddhas in the sky to protect everyone from being hit by these explosive bombs!
The imagined scene of people falling on their backs did not appear!
But the screams still came from behind.
Liuzi and others looked around and found that all their companions were fine and no one was injured.
Turning to look behind them, they realized that the screams were coming from the stockade!
"How is this going?"
Being held in front of Xie Yu, Bai Xiaonan's eyes widened in surprise when he looked at what happened behind him!
Several smoothbore cannons that were just fired had explosion accidents!
The power of the explosion was so powerful that it not only destroyed the smoothbore cannon, but also blew open the crenellations of the village wall!
The person responsible for operating the smoothbore cannon was also killed on the spot!
Seeing the heavy casualties suffered by the brothers who fought side by side in the past, Liuzi and others showed unbearable expressions on their faces.
But think about it again, if the smoothbore cannon hadn't exploded, I might be the one lying on the ground right now!
After thinking about this, Liuzi and others put down their psychological baggage.
At this time, Wang Yi, who was commanding many of his men in Baishi Village to fire artillery shells, was also in a hurry and angry.
He asked people to reload the ammunition, preparing to give Xie Yu and others a fatal blow.
But after missing the launch time of this first wave, Xie Yu and others were already out of the range of the smoothbore cannon.
By the time Wang Yi's people reloaded their gunpowder, it was already too late to attack Xie Yu and others!
Finally, Xie Yu and others rode horses and ran down the mountain quickly.
When they arrived outside Yingzhou City, Xie Yu and others stopped when they saw that there were no more pursuers behind them.
"What's going on?" Bai Xiaonan couldn't help but ask, "Why did all those iron cannons explode?"
If only one gun explodes, it can be attributed to luck. With so many guns exploding at the same time, this obviously cannot be explained by luck.
Xie Yu said calmly: "Before I went down the mountain, I quietly modified the filling amount of gunpowder. These people don't know the technical parameters, so an explosion is inevitable."
Liuzi immediately looked at Xie Yu with a shocked look on his face: "Mr. Xie...you mean...you already knew about the third master..."
Xie Yu shook his head: "I don't know! If I had known about this a long time ago, my father and grandfather would not have died!"
When he said this, Xie Yu's expression was extremely gloomy, "I just habitually think more about things..."
It is this habit that saved everyone’s lives!
At this time, everyone was filled with indignation after the disaster.
Liuzi looked at Xie Yu, then at Bai Xiaonan, and finally asked: "Mr. Xie, what should we do now? Why don't you ask all the leaders to instruct the troops to take down the stronghold?"
"Yes, I don't believe that Wang Yi can withstand the attack of so many of us!"
The army next to them also looked unhappy.
Xie Yu shook his head: "Forget it! The technical parameters are not a difficult secret. As long as Wang Yi asks the blacksmith Liu Dashan, he will know how much gunpowder should be filled! When he has mastered the use of the smoothbore cannon again, he can With the current strength of the members of the Development Committee, it is basically impossible to conquer the stronghold!"
"Is it possible that we just let it go? That's too cheap for that bastard!" Liu Zi looked unhappy, "Why don't we wait for General Yu to come to Datong and ask General Yu to borrow troops? Now General Yu is also the commander of Datong's vanguard. As long as he opens his mouth, it won't be a problem to recruit tens of thousands of troops..."
Xie Yu continued to shake his head and said: "Favor... the more you use it, the thinner it becomes! When you add icing on the cake, no one will have any objections. But if you provide help in times of need, it is a test of human nature! So unless you have to, don't bother others. !”
"Besides... I don't like to pretend to be someone else when it comes to revenge! Wang Yi and Hu Yong... I will personally pluck off their heads sooner or later to sacrifice the souls of my father and grandpa!"
After saying this, and then looking at the nearly a hundred brothers around him, Xie Yu thought about it for a while, raised his hands and said: "Brothers, everyone has seen what is going on now. I want to lead everyone to live a good life, but I don't want to be copied. There is no way out..."
"Now, I can be said to be penniless! If any brother has a better way out, I won't stop him! For example, going to General Yu to work as an errand is much better than following me and running away. So. …”
Before Xie Yu could finish what he said, the six men next to him interrupted with an unhappy look on their faces: "Mr. ?”
"We follow you not only to live a good life! Since we are brothers, no matter whether we enjoy happiness or endure hardship, we will live and die together! Especially at this time, if anyone dares to say leaving, I, the sixth son, will be the first to not... "
Xie Yu stretched out his hand to stop Liu Zi from continuing.
"Sixth Son, Sixth Master! Stop talking!"
Looking at everyone again, Xie Yu continued: "I believe everyone knows my temper. In fact, I am a person who doesn't like trouble. Now that I have the opportunity to break up, I really want to get rid of you guys. so……"
"If you all want to leave, don't think too much about it, just leave! If you really stay, it won't be a good thing for me. I actually don't like to take you everywhere to find food."
When Xie Yu said this, everyone immediately looked at each other.
Bai Xiaonan looked at Xie Yu, with a hesitant expression on his face.
In her opinion, Xie Yu's words were a bit inappropriate!
Now is the time when everyone needs comfort. Why is Xie Yu still making sarcastic remarks and pushing everyone away?
Is it possible that he really wants to break up?
Seeing that no one wanted to leave, Xie Yu continued: "Brothers, what worries do you have? Don't worry, I am telling the truth. Whether you go to General Yu or to other villages, you will be better off. Follow me and be strong! I will never complain about you."
After saying that, Xie Yu looked at Chen Zhong and said: "Fourth brother, do you still remember what General Yu Xiao told you before? As long as you go to him, in a few years, he will be able to give you a job with a thousand households! "
Chen Zhong finally nodded, then cupped his hands towards Xie Yu and said, "Mr. Xie is right! As the saying goes, when people go to higher places, water flows to lower places! Mr. Everyone is running around here and there. I have decided to go back to General Yu to find a job!"
Seeing the indignant expression on Liu Zi's face, Chen Zhong winked at Liu Zi.
Then he looked at a few people in the crowd: "Sanmao, Datou, Biaozi, are you willing to come with me? If you come with me, I can live in thousands of households, and I will definitely not treat you badly." !”
The people Chen Zhong called were the brothers with whom he had the best relationship.
In the past, these people did not hesitate about anything Chen Zhong told them.
But at this time...the brothers who were named all had hesitant expressions on their faces.
After a while, a named brother stepped forward, raised his hands towards Chen Zhong and said, "Fourth brother, I won't go with you. I still want to follow Mr. Xie."
“Mr. If we have two nests, I have to give them to you and the boss first."
Xie Yu was a little touched by what this guy said.
But when he heard what this guy said, which meant "a nest for you two", he felt a little dumbfounded.
The smile on Chen Zhong's face disappeared.
He seemed to be losing his temper, and finally looked at the other two people: "What about you? Do you want to stay too?"
"Yes!" The two men also nodded, "Our strength is no less than Biaozi!"
The expression on Chen Zhong's face became even more gloomy. He looked at the others, and then asked loudly: "Are there any other brothers who are willing to go with me?"
No one said a word!
Seeing that Chen Zhong wanted to ask again, Liu Zi's army couldn't help but said: "Fourth Master, you want to be rich and powerful, no one can stop you, but you can just go on your own! Don't bother others here! You don't want to Face, we still need face!"
"That's right! Fourth Master, get out of here! If you say a few more words, be careful of the crossbow arrow in my hand 'collapsing string'!"
The so-called "collapse of strings" actually means the same thing as "fire" in later generations.
This theory spread after a brother in the village was shot through the foot due to improper handling of a crossbow last time.
Chen Zhong should be angry at being threatened like this. But he burst out laughing.
After laughing, Chen Zhong looked at Xie Yu and said: "Mr. people?"
Liuzi immediately understood what Chen Zhong's purpose was just now.
He smiled and put his arms around Chen Zhong's shoulders, then punched Chen Zhong and said, "I know that Fourth Master is not the kind of person who is unjust!"
Bai Xiaonan also looked at Xie Yu and said: "You can't treat everyone as a white-eyed wolf just because of Wang Yi! We are all brothers who get along day and night. You have to believe that people's hearts are made of flesh!"
Xie Yu nodded, and finally looked at the group of brothers in front of him who were unwilling to leave, and said with a smile: "Since the brothers are unwilling to leave me, then I will continue to beg for food with my brothers. From now on, whenever I am around If you eat one bite, you won’t be hungry!”
"Haha, we all believe this!" Liu Zi suddenly laughed, "Mr.
"Hahaha……"
Everyone was amused by Liuzi's words.
The previous depression caused by Wang Yi's betrayal also improved at this time.
"What should we do next? Where should we go? How about building another stronghold?" Bai Xiaonan asked Xie Yu's future plans.
Xie Yu shook his head: "No! I believe that as long as we are on the border of Yingzhou, Wang Yi and Hu Yong will not let us go easily. As soon as our village is set up here, they will immediately bring people to the door. !”
"And the county magistrate Zhang Muzi and Hu Yong wear the same pants, so he won't let us go easily! So..."
"We have to leave Yingzhou!"
"Leave Yingzhou? Where to go?" Bai Xiaonan asked.
Xie Yu looked at a certain direction in the distance, and finally pointed with his hand: "Leave Shanxi and go south!"
