Chapter 9 The Power of Breaking Cannons
The next day, after breakfast, the army saw that there was still no movement in the mountain. Li Dingguo first sent someone to shout. Seeing that the other party was still stubborn, he no longer talked, and directly set up a formation.
Qin Yu took the young man's efforts to carry the cannon to the hillside and fiddle for a while before he was ready.
"Big... the boss, isn't the cannon just brought up by these thieves?"
"Hiss! This... they actually have cannons..."
The bandits on the village wall looked at Qin Yu and others who were fiddling not far away, and were shocked.
"Don't let your mother gossip, that's obviously a piece of wood. Are you blind? If you dare to shake the morale of the army, you will be killed without mercy!"
Wang Wu, the head of Niutouzhai, shouted, stopping the riots, but he was only worried.
Everyone didn't say anything, but they were scolding in their hearts. You were blind. What the hell could it be if the dark tube was not a cannon?
"boom!"
With a loud bang, a stream of blue smoke rose from the mountainside, accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air.
The bandits were shocked and dodged one after another. Some of them had sharp eyes and even saw a black dot flying overhead and smashing towards the room behind.
"The boss, they really have cannons."
"I'm afraid of it. A mere broken cannon is useless. Let the brothers resist it!"
...
"High, go a little further." Qin Yu on the mountainside put on a haystack and shouted at the boy.
The hundreds of heroes who were preparing to charge into battle were waving their weapons in their hands and howling to cheer, and there was no need to say about the young and strong people at the foot of the mountain.
"fire!"
Seeing that the adjustment was almost done, Qin Yu glanced at the wooden gate and then hid behind a big rock and issued an order.
The other teenagers were the same, leaving only one person holding a torch in his hand and igniting the fire tremblingly. Qin Yu was also afraid of heavy losses after the blow-up.
"boom!"
There was another loud bang, and an iron ball as thick as a child's fist hit five or six feet in front of the wooden door.
"Damn it!"
Qin Yu cursed, quickly flashed to the cannon, and started fiddling with it again.
In this way, a distance of only 100 meters, he fired five or six guns, and more than a hundred heroes were impatient before opening.
A small hole was punched in the village gate, which made the bandits who had just relaxed nervous again.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
Next, Qin Yu seemed to have found a feeling. He fired more than ten cannons in a row, and wood chips flew across the wall. He nodded at Li Dingguo until a scream came.
"Kill me!"
With the order from Li Dingguo, a hundred heroes rushed towards the village gate, all of whom were newly recruited young and strong.
"quick…"
On the wall of the village, Wang Wu was panicked when he saw the other party rushing up with a shield and a ladder. He shouted quickly, but saw that his subordinates were even more panicked than him.
At this time, Qin Yu began to fire the empty cannon.
The heroes who charged forward listened to the sound of cannons were full of energy. They rushed under the wall and put a ladder on the wall and began to climb upwards.
"Kill with me!"
Li Dingguo also rushed up with fifty confidants in cotton armor, and hundreds of young and strong men were shouting behind him.
"Bash it for me!"
"ah!"
"oops…"
For a moment, screams and wailed, and the bandits threw down all the wooden thunderstones that had been prepared in advance.
"rush!"
Qin Yu pulled out the short knife tied around his waist, pointed forward, and took sixty young men with wooden sticks to distribute the spoils.
Because the bandits on the wall had already begun to escape, the broken wooden door was also knocked down by several big men, and the rebels rushed into the mountain village.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Wang Wu shouted that the brothers ignored him and had to take a few confidants and flee backwards.
Li Dingguo led his men into the mountain village and only killed more than a dozen bandits. The remaining bandits knelt on the ground and surrendered.
When Qin Yu came to the playground of the village, the battle was over and the bandits knelt all over the ground.
"Who is Wang Wu?"
Li Dingguo pointed at more than a hundred bandits kneeling on the ground with his waist knife and shouted.
The bandits were shocked and looked at a man in the middle of the thirty years old and bearded.
"This major general spares his life, I am willing to surrender to your army..."
"Hmph! I have killed five brothers and injured nine people. I will use your head to pay tribute to them."
Li Dingguo said and waved his sword, and a big head rolled to the ground, blood splattering the surrounding bandits all over his face.
Qin Yu happened to see this scene and shivered all over his body, thinking that Li Dingguo is quite cruel, and the teenagers were also so scared that their faces were pale.
"Go and cut off all the dead bandits' heads, one for each person, and if there is not enough, cut the legs and hands."
Qin Yu handed over the knife and gritted his teeth at the teenagers.
The young men took the knife and trembled to complete the task assigned by the leader of Qin.
The bandits kneeling heard this, the timids were already scared to death, but the bold ones cursed in their hearts. They were really crueler than the other, and the smaller the heavier they were.
In just half an hour, the village was cleaned up and Qin Yu also counted the seizure.
There were ninety bags of grain, about ten thousand kilograms, all of which were rice, and the gold and silver were about two thousand taels of gold and silver. There were also some gold and silver jewelry and ten pieces of cotton cloth.
Five pairs of bows and arrows, twenty knives, fifteen spears, and some miscellaneous weapons.
"Brother Dingguo, your waist, bow, arrow, and spear belong to you. I want those mixed weapons. How about the gold, silver, grain and cloth as mentioned before?"
"No problem, but these gold and silver jewelry cannot be divided randomly."
"Oh! Why is this?" Qin Yu's heart tightened. Could it be that Li Dingguo, a kid, was jealous of money and wanted to take it alone?
"Brother Qin, don't get me wrong. Most of these gold, silver and jewelry must be handed over to your adoptive father, and some of the food must be handed over." Li Dingguo quickly explained.
"What? You have to hand over this too?" Qin Yu jumped up immediately, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved.
Then everyone started packing up. Li Dingguo planned to take away all the more than 100 bandits captured. More than 20 women tied up by the bandits were rewarded to the brothers who had made contributions.
Qin Yu looked at more than 20 women who were ruined by bandits. He wanted Li Dingguo to send some money and food to release them, but he thought about it and let it go so as not to speak up and make him embarrassed.
"Brother Qin, do you want to choose two of these women?"
Qin Yu waved his hand with a dry smile: "Haha, let's forget it, they are all pitiful people. They probably belong to nearby villages, and they are poor like us."
"Well! I will continue to explain and tell my brothers not to treat them badly in the future."
Li Dingguo nodded.
I walked for a whole day when I came. Although I had a lot more things when I went back, my speed was much faster than when I came. Obviously, I was in a good mood after winning the battle.
