Chapter 19? Thunder (Part 2)
"God--" Even though he had experienced many battles, Zhou Quji was still shocked by the scene in front of him, and instinctively exclaimed and slowly retreated.
Brother Shuofangjun, who was on the alert mission with him, also moved backwards, and the shield in his hand instinctively raised it upwards, as if the soil and broken wood splashed on the head of the city would hit his head.
"Sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh-sigh
"One brigade and one team, report the bombardment results!" The only person who didn't feel any shock was Luo Huaizu. He saw this man casually glanced at the head of Julan City and gave a new order coldly.
"Report, one bomb hits the enemy building, and one bomb hits the city wall. The remaining five were missing, three of them fell into the city, one fell into the city gate, and one fell into the base of the city wall. Report is completed!" Zhang Si'an, the team leader, made a cold war, put down his monocular telescope, and reported loudly.
"Report the counterweights of the two catapults that hit the enemy tower and the city wall!" Luo Huaizu glanced at him and continued to give orders. His voice and movements were not at all emotional.
"Reported, the one who hit the enemy building was the No. 1 catapult, with a counterweight of 63 and a half pounds!"
"Report, the one who hit the city wall was Car No. 4, with a counterweight of 62 kilograms!"
Lu Dechuan and Che Ping raised their heads and reported loudly, their young faces were full of excitement.
Luo Huaizu nodded at the two of them, and then began to issue orders like flowing water, "One brigade and one team, reload, counterweight of 62 kilograms!"
"The first brigade and two teams, adjust the counterweight of all catapults to 63 and a half kilograms, aim at the enemy building, and prepare to launch!"
"The first team of the Second Brigade has adjusted the counterweight of all catapults to 63 and a half pounds!"
"The second team of the second brigade, prepare for crossbows and arrows, be careful that the enemy's dogs are anxious to jump over the wall!"
"All three brigades, the Fire Dragon Car is ready!"
...
"Yes!" "Abide by the order!" "I understand!" The brothers of the teaching group responded one after another, and immediately completed the preparations according to the order. Luo Huaizu turned his gaze to the enemy building in Julan City again? He raised his right hand high with two days' worth of fingers. He quickly pinched his fingers by his side. No matter which angle he looked at, it seemed mysterious and powerful.
It's so satisfying! It's so satisfying to fight like this! He has been a hero in his life? He has been a strategist? He has been a killer, he has been... But? He has no identity, and he is as enjoyable as being a general today!
In the past, I used to use a scale to hit people in the head? What's the ability? How is it like today? With a light wave of the scale, the tall city and the pond was shaking instantly!
"The first brigade and the second team are ready!"
"The first team of the Second Brigade is ready."
"The Second Brigade..."
Responses sounded one after another in the team around me. The brothers of the well-trained teaching team, no matter how nervous or excited they are, they are in an orderly manner.
"First Brigade and Two Teams, Scatter!" The scale of scale decisively waved, and Luo Huaizu's voice quickly spread to everyone's ears.
Another seven gunpowder bombs flew up and passed through ninety steps of space?
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"... Explosions sounded one after another, and the tall and majestic enemy building swayed in the explosion, rising and falling? swayed left and right? Then? slid slowly like a pile of sand.
"The first team of the Second Brigade, reduce the counterweight to 62 kilograms, prepare!" Luo Huaizu was stunned, spat hard on the ground, and then made decisive adjustments.
The brothers quickly shoveled away some of the soil from the counterweight basket, lowering the counterweight of the catapult to the required standards. Luo Huaizu gritted his teeth and waved the scales to the firing. Immediately afterwards, seven gunpowder bullets dragged the gray tail marks and flew quickly to the city wall downstairs of the enemy.
Three shots were missing, and four fell to the top of the city wall. In an instant, the explosion sounded like the sky and the earth cracked. On the city wall, soil splashed and thick smoke rolled. The soldiers of Shi Kingdom, who were scared, hugged their heads and ran around.
"Is there gunpowder loaded here?" Zhou Quji's eyes were splitting and rushed towards Lu Dechuan quickly, risking being misunderstood to check the reloaded gunpowder bullets.
The Shuofang Army had also obtained similar things from Zhang Qian. The name is also called gunpowder bullet, which is similar in size to the one in front of me. However, the gunpowder bullet of Shuofang Army was made of clay and contained alcohol with added materials! The one in front of me was obviously cast from pig iron, and I don’t know what domineering thing was installed inside. In order to blow it harder and more shattered, the surface of the cast iron was obviously chiseled with stripes!
"Captain, please do not interfere with the launch of the catapult car!" Lu Dechuan turned his body without hesitation, blocking Zhou Quji's arm and stretching towards the catapult car. "As for the things inside, I only know the name is Black Gunpowder, and I don't know anything else!"
"Black gunpowder?" Zhou Quji was stunned and took his arm back embarrassedly.
Alcohol was named Gunpowder by Emperor Shenlong, but those who have been in contact with Zhang Qian for a long time will be affected by the latter and privately called it alcohol. Black gunpowder, as the name suggests, will definitely not be black alcohol!
Just as he was so itchy that he could not scratch his face, Luo Huaizu's excited roar came from a distance, "One brigade and one team, aim at the city wall downstairs of the enemy, prepare-
Suddenly, his voice stopped for a moment, and then he became even more excited, "Stop! Stop! Don't launch! The enemy rushed out! The second team of the Second Brigade, crossbow arrows blocked! The person came, I sent orders to Captain Zhou and Captain Shi for me, so that they would restrain their own teams and remain unmoved!!"
"Swoosh swosh swosh swosh swosh swosh-" A row of shaky crossbow arrows shot out from behind the Fire Dragon Car and shot towards the city gate ninety steps away.
Zhou Quji blushed and looked up, quickly retreating to the formation while watching the situation on the battlefield.
The four east gates of Julan City were wide open, and hundreds of soldiers from the Shi Kingdom rushed out in a mess. It was obvious that they planned to take advantage of the opportunity when the main forces of the Tang army were parked hundreds of steps away and rush into the "iron wall" composed of the Fire Dragon Cart and forcibly destroy all the catapults.
‘This is purely seeking death!’ The experienced Zhou Quji immediately saw the attack result of the Shi State soldiers, and suddenly there was a little more pity in his eyes.
Sure enough, under the rapid attack of the shaking crossbow, the Shi State soldiers who rushed out of the city had already fallen down 25% before they could approach the "iron wall". The remaining soldiers could not hold on immediately, turned around and ran towards the city gate. The soldiers holding the crossbow bow calmly turned the shaking handle, pulled the bowstring, loaded the crossbow arrows, and then steadily aimed the arrow cluster at the back of the Shi State soldiers.
"Swoosh swish swish swish swish-"
"Swoosh swish swish swish swish-"
"Swoosh swish swish swish swish-"
The speed of the crossbow arrows was far less than that of the horn bow, but the brothers of the teaching group fired three rounds of crossbow arrows in succession, and the soldiers of the Shi Kingdom rushed out finally retreated into the city of Julan. On the way they came and went, there were no less than fifty corpses lying in a row, and blood gathered into a stream, emitting a dazzling red in the sun.
"One brigade and one team, aim at the city wall and shoot volleys!" Luo Huaizu curled his lips disdainfully, and then waved his weight to measure the Libra again.
Seven gunpowder bullets hit the blood-stained city wall downstairs, and then, they exploded one after another at the top of the city and inside the city. Thick smoke rolled, and the firelight appeared and faintly appeared on the ruins of the enemy building.
There were no more people running around on the city walls. The four open gates did not close again. The failed counterattack just now seemed to have used up all the courage of the defenders. Next, they seemed to be ready to leave the will.
"Stop!" Luo Huaizu saw the enemy's reactions. He raised his scale again and shouted loudly, "The catapult cart stayed in place, and the first brigade of the teaching regiment is responsible for protection. The fire dragon cart was put away and advanced towards the city gate. The other teams, follow the fire dragon cart!"
"Yes!" Seeing the enemy being beaten to the point where he had no power to fight back, the brothers of the teaching group were in high spirits and agreed to the execution of the order in unison. Soon, the "iron wall" was separated again into "wings". The fire dragon car was pushed by the brothers and moved slowly forward, approaching the gate of Julan City step by step.
"Tell the order to Captain Zhou and Captain Shi, and ask them to lead their troops to follow, just in case!" Luo Huaizu put away the scales and whispered the order. Then, he took out a grenade from the pockets of the personal soldiers and quietly pulled out the ignition of the gunpowder.
The two personal soldiers agreed to run away and rushed towards Zhou Quji and Shi Jin separately. The other personal soldiers cleverly took out the fire note and were ready to ignite the grenade for the grenade at any time.
Facts proved that this preparation was purely unnecessary. Before the fire dragon car arrived at the gate of the city, there were already cheers like a tide behind everyone. Immediately, Zhang Gui rode his horse and rushed to Luo Huaizu. After twenty steps, he waved the order flag to Luo Huaizu: "Secretary, the enemy general has escaped from the west gate! The guard commander has an order, and the teaching regiment stopped outside the east gate, packed up the armies, and cleaned the battlefield. Captain Shi and Captain Zhou each led their brothers, including Captain Zhou as the main general, to enter the city to seize warehouses, yamen, and prisons, suppress the sluts, and restore order in the city!"
After confirming that Luo Huaizu responded, he quickly turned his mount and rushed towards Zhou Quji and Shi Jin, repeating the same order loudly. "The guard commander has an order..."
"I'm running away now? His grandma, since I'm going to run away sooner or later, I'm still trying to do something nonsense just now!" Luo Huaizu was not satisfied with the fight, stopped and waved his arms in annoyance. "Everyone has it, stop!"
"The enemy general abandoned the city? How long has it been to defend?" Zhou Quji also stopped, looked around, feeling lost in his heart.
Around him, a large number of soldiers of the Shattered Ye Army jumped onto their mounts, bypassed Julan City, and moved westward at high speed. It was obvious that they were ordered to chase the enemy. The open city gates in front of him and the cries kept coming from the city also clearly told him that the enemy had abandoned the city and fled, and Julan City was in a state of out of control. If he delayed for a moment, many people would die at the hands of defeated soldiers and gangsters who took advantage of the situation.
"Everyone is there!" Put away his chaotic thoughts and turned his head. Zhou Quji shouted to the brothers of Shuofang Army, "Follow me to the city! Seize the yamen and warehouses. Along the way, I will meet those who take advantage of the situation and rectify the Dharma on the spot."
The emergence of gunpowder bullets will inevitably make the Tang army more powerful. He and his brothers do not know how to use it, but they can learn together. I believe that Zhang Zhenshou will not hide his own personalities from everyone.
As for the shattered Ye Army, because the army was in a hurry, the soldiers would definitely encounter some difficulties in the battle and after the war. He and his brothers were experienced and could just teach each other how to deal with it step by step. As long as the other party was willing to learn, he promised that he would definitely be able to know everything!
