Water Margin people

Chapter 748

"Boom, boom, boom!"

A burst of artillery sounded, and the row of artillery in front of him was spraying tongues of flame.

The black projectile hit the camp wall of Gaoqiu's camp, a burst of sawdust flew, and the broken logs flew high, and then smashed heavily into Gaoqiu's camp, causing a commotion.

"Gao Qi, this old boy is really hardworking. The camp has built several layers of walls!"

Sun Lei stroked his chin and looked at the new camp wall that was exposed after the outer camp wall was broken and said.

"Brother, little brother, fire a few more shots! Definitely blast this turtle's shell!"

Seeing that a round of artillery could not blast through the enemy's camp wall, Ling Zhen felt a little embarrassed. Liang Shanbo's army is always going to attack the city, and all the brothers are invincible, so he can't lose the chain.

"Let's hit it, just to see the real power of the artillery."

Sun Lei nodded. Although artillery is a sharp weapon, it is not invincible after all. It is the same when attacking wooden camps. If it hits the city wall, it may be less lethal.

Ling Zhen immediately ordered the soldiers to reload the ammunition again, and the bombardment of the artillery continued. After several rounds of fighting, the enemy's camp was finally opened with a small gap, which could only allow three or four people to pass side by side at most.

"The power of the artillery has yet to be strengthened."

After several rounds of watching, Sun Lei finally saw the actual power of the artillery. A tree with a thick thigh can be easily broken, but a log with a thick waist can only knock off a layer of bark, and it can take more than an inch of sawdust.

"Brother, little brother..."

Ling Zhen was a little embarrassed and wanted to explain.

"It's okay, this thing needs to be studied slowly, it won't be accomplished overnight."

Sun Lei shook his head to comfort Ling Zhendao, he was already very satisfied with the power of the artillery, after all gunpowder is still very primitive, this thing needs to be studied slowly.

"Continue to bomb, smash that piece of camp wall!"

Sun Lei pointed to a piece of camp wall in front of him, the small gap was not enough for the army to enter.

The bombardment of the artillery continued, and the battalion wall continued to shatter with the bombardment of the artillery, and soon a section of the hundreds of feet of the camp wall disappeared.

"Run, run!"

The officers and soldiers in the camp had lost their courage a long time ago, and the camp wall was broken into the last straw that crushed them. A month of fear and fear had already worn away their spirit, and now they only wanted to escape.

"Don't let them run away!"

With a wave of Sun Lei's hand, various armies charged out and immediately surrounded Gao Qiu's camp. Those soldiers did not dare to charge when they saw the enemy, they huddled together like a flock of sheep and trembled.

"Surrender without killing!"

Lu Zhishen let out a loud roar, causing the enemy in front of him to fall down in fright.

As soon as the abandoned weapons started, it would spread like a plague. A large number of soldiers dropped their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

"Go, go see that old boy Gao Qi!"

Seeing that the enemy had given up their resistance, Sun Lei took Wang Jin, Lin Chong, Xu Ning, Lu Zhishen and others directly to the barracks.

"It looks like these people are quite hungry!"

After walking in, Sun Lei realized that these soldiers were all sallow and thin, and they must have been hungry for a long time.

"Where is Gao Qiu?"

Sun Lei looked at the soldiers kneeling in front of him and asked.

"Master Taiwei is in the tent of the Chinese army!"

The soldiers hurriedly pointed to a large tent in the middle.

"Brother, something is wrong!"

Li Zhu looked at Sun Lei and said, the camp has been broken, many soldiers rushed out, how could Gao Qiu not show his face as the commander of the army, Gao Qiu can't accept his fate and wait for death, it is still necessary to fight to the death.

"No, go in!"

Sun Lei suddenly noticed the soil under his feet, probably because the soldiers stepped on it too much and it was hardened, but the soil was bright yellow, which was obviously not what normal surface soil should have.

Everyone rushed into the big tent of the Chinese army, but there were all tables and chairs, but there was no one there.

"The old boy dug a hole and ran away!"

Sun Lei looked at the dirt on the carpet and didn't know why Gao Qi was not there.

"Brother, there's a big hole in the back!"

Shi Jin led the people to run to the back, and then shouted.

"Brother, little brother, go after him!"

Wu Song immediately spoke.

"No, I don't know what's going on in this cave. If Gao Qi and the others didn't escape, it would be very dangerous to go now, and it's not easy to use it in the cave. If Gao Qi escaped, the entrance of the cave would have been destroyed long ago, so it's okay to go in. use."

Sun Lei shook his head and said, he never thought that Gao Qiu would dig a hole and escape.

"Gao Qiu decided to hide it from the whole army, and escaped with only his cronies, otherwise there would be no news at all!"

Xiao Jiasui said, the soldiers outside the camp did not respond, if they knew there was a way to escape, they would have swarmed into this hole when the camp was broken, and Gao Li's commander-in-chief flag was still hanging on the flagpole.

"It's all my fault this time. If I had done it earlier, I wouldn't have let Gao Lian run away."

Sun Lei said.

"Brother, don't say that, Gao Lian ran away as soon as he ran away, let's catch him next time!"

Wang Jin, Lin Chong, and Xu Ning immediately said that they had a grudge against Gao Qiu, but they cared more about their friendship with Sun Lei than their grudges.

"Okay, Gao Lian's head will be placed on his head for a few days, and we will take it off when we break through Tokyo."

Sun Lei looked at the three of them and said.

"Brother, there are too many prisoners in this battle, I'm afraid they have to be escorted back first."

Wen Huanzhang said that after the two wars, there were as many as [-] to [-] prisoners. If these people are not properly placed, there will be big troubles.

"How about handing it over to the three of you? Most of them are soldiers of the Imperial Army. If you lead them, they should be less resistant."

Sun Lei looked at Lin Chong, Wang Jin, and Xu Ning.

"Brother, don't worry!"

Lin Chong, Wang Jin, and Xu Ning immediately clasped their fists together and said, [-] to [-] captives are really troublesome, Liang Shanbo is full of soldiers and horses, and there are not so many soldiers and horses. If there is a chaos, the whole Liangshan will follow.

However, Lin Chong, Wang Jin, and Xu Ning are all the instructors of the imperial army, and they are best at training the soldiers of the brigade. In the past, they often commanded tens of thousands of imperial troops to train in the imperial army camp in Tokyo. Now these soldiers have already undergone systematic training. It is not difficult to get up.

"Okay, take them back to Jeju first!"

Sun Lei nodded and said, he doesn't worry about so many prisoners going to Liangshanpo.

"Brother, there are tens of thousands of troops arriving from Puzhou, and they should be the envoys of the other five towns!"

Zhu Wu walked over and said to Sun Lei.

"It's coming so fast!"

Sun Lei smiled and said, Wang Huan and others who came first were all in Shandong, Hebei, and west of Beijing, not far from Liangshanbo, but the rest of the towns were different. Hanyang Festival, that has already reached the border of Kansai.

"Clean the battlefield quickly and prepare for the last battle!"

Sun Lei looked at the crowd and said, this is the last wave of troops coming to Liangshanbo this time, as long as they are repelled, the encirclement and suppression by the army will be explained.

In a forest far away from the battlefield, Gao Qiu came out of the hole in a disheveled state.

"It's coming out!"

Gao Qiu didn't care about his body covered in dirt, his hair was disheveled, and he greedily breathed in the fresh air.

"Master Taiwei, it's not safe yet, let's leave quickly!"

Niu Bangxi spoke hastily.

"Destroy the entrance of the cave, let's go!"

Gao Qiu looked at the dark hole with resentment and gritted his teeth.
