Chapter 1228 Destroying the Enemy
"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!" Tang Yao shouted sharply with a whip in his hand.

In front of him was a group of submissive guard soldiers, who were pushing and pulling the cannons door by door.

These cannons were the red barbarian cannons commonly seen in Ming army camps, weighing about [-] jin, and the caliber was between [-] inch [-] fen and [-] inch [-].

Most of them are carried on four-wheeled carts, and generally use solid bullets the size of goose eggs or hundreds of small lead bullets as the main means of attack.

Because the Ming army did not establish a scientific and sound artillery system like the rebel army, this lighter artillery was widely used in attacking and defending cities and field battles.

The rebel army has been fighting the Ming army for many years, and has captured a lot.

All were distributed by Zhang Shun, and they had the right to use the firepower of the battalion for their own use, and were not directly under the jurisdiction of the "Second Artillery Regiment".

The advantage of this kind of artillery is that it is light and easy to maneuver; the disadvantage is that it has a small caliber and its power is worrying.

Take this time when Ji Longfeng and other death squads were suddenly attacked, the casualties were no more than a dozen people.

Although it is heavy, it does not lose combat effectiveness.

If the situation is the same, if it is replaced by the [-]-inch [-]-inch field artillery of the rebel army, I am afraid that the number of casualties will not be known if this artillery goes down.

This is also one of the main reasons why Ji Longfeng and others dared to hide in the enemy building.

After all, even if this type of artillery hits the enemy building, it cannot be easily destroyed.

Tang Yao urged the officers and soldiers of the guard station to push the destroyer cannon forward for more than fifty steps, more than a hundred steps away from the enemy tower.Everyone was timid and shy, and they didn't dare to go forward.

Then he ordered the soldiers to fire artillery on the spot and shoot at the enemy building.

The distance was much closer, and the hit situation was much better. Three or four consecutive shots concentrated on the enemy building, and the bricks and stones outside were shattered and splashed.

However, there was no movement in the enemy building, which made all the officers and soldiers stunned.

"Commander, did the culprits escape just now, and there was no one inside?" Left and right couldn't help but wonder.

In fact, Tang Yao still had this suspicion in his heart, the firing of the cannon just now was just a trick to scare the snake.

Seeing that the "grass" was hit by him with a "squeak" sound, but no "snake" came out, Tang Yao became more and more sure of his judgment.

However, in order to be cautious, he couldn't help but ordered: "You, you and you, each of you should lead a team and go to investigate."

The Weisuobing is still the old organization, which is different from the popular battalion system now.

The three elders were so tall that they held their knives and spears and moved forward tremblingly.

"General, why are we waiting like this?" Just as the soldiers from the Sanshi Guards of the Ming Army approached, the volunteer soldiers in the enemy building couldn't hold back any longer, and couldn't help urging Ji Longfeng to say.

"Don't worry, the enemy's artillery is too fierce, let's shoot closer!" Ji Longfeng sneered, unafraid.

In fact, in order to confuse the enemy, the volunteer soldiers in the enemy building did not dare to stretch their heads to wait and see, and did not know the reality of the Ming army.

If a large number of Ming army elites came this time, or artillerymen approached and fired, I am afraid that today will be their memorial day next year.

However, Ji Longfeng had fought against the defenders of Pingyang City before, and he firmly believed that the defenders were incompetent in martial arts and cowardly in combat.

As the defenders got closer and closer to the enemy building, Ji Longfeng finally heard the enemy's footsteps on the noisy battlefield, and couldn't help being overjoyed.

No wheels!There are not many footsteps, so there is no artillery approaching, and there is no need for a large number of enemy troops approaching. Sure enough, the bet is right!

He couldn't help but ordered in a low voice: "Have you loaded the firecrackers? Don't release them after the enemy approaches, and prepare for hand-to-hand combat."

"After the enemy is repelled, use the firecracker to kill the rout!"

Everyone nodded when they heard the words, and one by one grabbed the weapons in their hands, preparing to meet the approaching Ming army infantry.

At the same time, Zhang Yi, the artillery officer under the city, couldn't help asking anxiously: "The enemy has already arrived in front of the enemy building, should the artillery fire or not?"

"No!" Zhang Shun refused.

"Since Ji Longfeng and the others didn't do anything, let's not do it either!"

"If they win, our shells will open the way for him; if they lose, our shells will break his back!"

"You ordered the six flying blunderbusses to be set at the opening angle, and the remaining six flying blunderbusses to be at the rear angle."

"Once the game starts, the remaining half can still have time to adjust."

"Okay!" Zhao Yi wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. This time he had learned the strategic determination of King Shun and Ji Longfeng.

Seeing that the defenders slowly surrounded the enemy building, there was still no movement.

One of them couldn't help stretching his head to look in, but what greeted him was a sharp knife light.

With a sound of "噗嗤", blood spattered, and then a large head fell to the ground.

"Ah, there are thieves!" The defenders were startled and were about to kill the generals, but they saw three or five long spears stretched out suddenly, stabbing three soldiers from the door and the window respectively.

These people were startled and rushed to the enemy building, but the enemy building was used as a special defense facility, and the entrance was quite small, so they couldn't squeeze in for a while, and they were shot one by one by the people inside, stabbing several people in succession.

The defenders couldn't help being startled and terrified. Who can stand this situation where they can't beat people but can only be beaten?

I don't know who yelled "Back back and let me fight", but everyone couldn't stop once they retreated, and it turned into a rout instead.

"Follow me, all generals and soldiers!" Ji Longfeng rushed out with a loud shout.

Seeing that Ji Longfeng was as fierce as a hungry tiger, the other volunteer soldiers couldn't help but rushed out with her.

"Fire the cannon, let the cannon go!" Tang Yao said anxiously, having never seen such a scene before.

Seeing the enemy rushing towards them suddenly, the gunners didn't have time to think, so they quickly lit their cannons.

In order to bombard the enemy buildings, most of those artillery were loaded with solid bullets. It didn't matter, seven or eight shells the size of goose eggs flew over.

Three of the retreating Ming troops were killed immediately, and two unlucky rebels were directly pierced to death by shells.

Everyone was shocked, they never expected that Tang Yao would be so cruel, even his own people would not be spared.

Ji Longfeng was also terrified, but when he saw the other side, he seemed to be frightened, so he couldn't help but had an idea, and shouted loudly: "The artillery has been fired, when will we wait if we don't charge now?"

Only then did everyone realize that the shells on the opposite side had been fired, and it would take time to reload.

"Come on!" This time, both the enemy and the enemy reacted.

Especially the guards who had just been defeated by the rebels and shelled by their own family ran back desperately.

Tang Yao also reacted at this time, and shouted loudly: "There are only twenty or thirty of them, so I'm so scared!"

"Anyone who dares to charge into the battle will be killed regardless of enemy or friend. For every person killed, five taels of silver will be rewarded!"

When Ji Longfeng waited for this military order, he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. His heart was broken, and he ordered the soldiers to shoot with firecrackers.

Just seven or eight firecrackers, how can they be an opponent in an array and fight against pawns?
At this time, Ji Longfeng was originally sent to defend the ladder, and the distance was too far to support him.

What should I do? Am I, Ji Longfeng, going to die here today?

He looked up at the sky, really unwilling!

However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of muffled gunfire. Ji Longfeng was taken aback for a moment, and then saw two large iron bombs falling from the sky, landing in the opposite formation, and then a violent explosion occurred.
