Chapter 27 Pommel Horse Like a Cloud-4
The stones on both sides of the mountain road were burned with tinder. The sulphur-mixed gunpowder burned with a choking smell. Zhao Xingde and Du Chujiao beside him were choked out of tears. The smoke was mainly moved upwards, and it can be imagined that the Hassans above the mountain road were even more uncomfortable. "His grandma," the chief of the tenth husband Jian Cheng covered his mouth and nose with a sweat towel, and still cursed angrily, "Let me chop these bastards."
The Hassan scholars used a powerful crossbow made of steel to guard the narrow mountain road. Just now, taking advantage of the smoke and fire that the Hassan scholars could not defend, Wang Tongdeng led his squad with silk cloth wet with water, and touched the pass along the mountain wall. Before he got close, he suddenly shot out a crossbow arrow from a high place. The iron crossbow arrow made of pure iron fell on the cliffs and mountain roads, making a jingle sound, and splashed out all the sand. Fortunately, the sergeant dodged quickly, and only one soldier was shot into the arm.
When the soldier was dragged down, his face turned pale, and the iron crossbow arrow was stuck in the crack of the armor and had not yet been pulled out. "Right away the armor on his arms!" The marching Sima Huang Zongdao shouted. He was proficient in medical skills and was also a doctor. The soldier who was shot was named Chunyu Shang. Seeing that Huang Zongdao looked nervous, he smiled and said, "It's not very painful for Huang Sima to be a good crossbow." After he unbuttoned the iron armor on his left shoulder, Huang Zongdao did not dare to take the arrow at will, and used a knife to cut a hole in his sleeve, and his face suddenly changed.
I saw a piece of red and swollen around the wound, and there were small bumps scattered beside it. "The arrow is highly toxic." Huang Zongdao was shocked and hurriedly used a cooked cow belt to tightly pinch Chunyu Shang's wound. He looked up and said to him in a deep voice: "Chunyu, this arrow is highly toxic. Now I can only dig out the surrounding flesh and crossbow arrows together, you have to hold on."
Chunyu Shang's face also changed, and he smiled and said, "Even if Huang Sima takes action, he snorted, Chunyu Shang is not a man in Guanxi."
Huang Zongdao had no time to talk to him, and waved his hand to ask the two soldiers to hold Chun Yu Shang down. He roasted the knife on the fire next to him for a while, then stabbed the wound with a knife, and deeply cut into the flesh. The blood was flowing like a stream. Chun Yu Shang's whole body trembled, his face turned pale in an instant, and he still gritted his teeth and kept motionless. Huang Zongdao cut out the arrow and a large piece of red, swollen and black flesh. He used medicine liquid to clean Chun Yu Shang several times without stopping, and then wrapped the wound with medicinal cotton and gauze. Then he took a breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and comforted Chun Yu Shang for a few words, but he saw that his eyes were red, which was scary, and his heart sank slightly, and he asked, "Chun Yu, you are dizzy and cold."
Chunyu Shang endured the pain and replied, "This ghost weather is a bit cold. His grandmother's, give me a sip of wine and sweat."
"No, you can't drink now." Huang Zongdao said in a deep voice. When Chunyu Shang heard the cold teeth clattered, Huang Zongdao ordered the regiment to train and took the blankets to wrap him on his body for two days.
The battle on the mountain road ahead was still continuing, and Minghong was guarding the pass.
"Have it straight, let me get on." Jian Cheng knocked the iron shield with a horizontal knife. The soldiers in Du Chujiao's team were also holding the iron shield and looking at Zhao Xingde.
"No." Zhao Xingde flatly refused. He already knew that the Assassin Sect used poisonous crossbow arrows that penetrated the armor, and was unwilling to sacrifice his soldiers for nothing. He just frowned and considered countermeasures. He looked up and looked up at the steep pass in the smoke. There were unknown how many poisonous snakes were hidden behind the steep pass in the smoke. It is conceivable that every time the Xia army threw into a tinder tank, these people retreated and avoided for a while. After the flames were extinguished, they came out to defend again.
He said inwardly, "It would be great if there was an iron barrel cannon." Unfortunately, the cannon was too heavy and could not be dragged over in a short period of time. Thinking of this, a sudden light of inspiration in my mind, and the Death Thunder Deathman who was ready to die appeared in front of me.
"General Duan, the last general thought that he could use a stone chariot to throw the ignition thunder behind the pass." Zhao Xingde told Duan Huaixian that the thunder in the sky is a powerful weapon to defend the city in the Central Plains, and it is impossible for Kangju City to be unprepared.
"Can you be sure to throw the pre-lit thunder with a stone thrower?" Duan Huaixian hesitated. The method Zhao Xingde said seemed whimsical. The length of the medicine for the sky-shaking thunder was different, and the time of burning was uncertain. The stone throwing of the stone generator was far less accurate than the cannon. The weight of those turbulent oil tanks and the sky-shaking thunder were very different, and they all needed to be tried repeatedly to get the correct ones. But now, there was no time.
Duan Huaixian was pondering himself, but suddenly he found a little coolness under his feet. When he looked down, he saw a lot of clear water flowing down the mountain path. It was already winter, and the flowing water formed ice on the mountain road. Not long after, the mountain road was covered with mountain walls, which were narrow and steep, which was not conducive to upward attacks. Now it was even more wet and slippery. If you were not careful, you would easily fall and fall.
"If you calculate correctly, there should be no problem. Let me give you a try." Zhao Xingde said in a deep voice.
"Okay, then let you give it a try. If it doesn't work, then raise your iron shield and attack it upside down." Duan Huaixian nodded. He waved his hand and ordered the marching Sima Jin Changtai to hold his military order and fly back to Kangju City to transfer a hundred thunders to the sky. The defenders of Kangju City did not dare to be negligent. After receiving the notice, they transported it in camel chariot overnight, and the next morning, they were sent to the foot of the mountain.
According to the angle and force of the stone-firing cart, Zhao Xingde re-estimated the distance between the stone-firing cart and the target according to the difference between the thunder and the weight of the turret tank, and repeatedly estimated the parabolic route. He tried three or five shots at the foot of the mountain and made a little correction. He also marked the general length and shortness of the thunder and the twists of the sky-firing cart, and tried several times. The time when the leads burned to the end was slightly more than the time required for the stone-firing cart to be thrown behind the enemy pass. He urged the sergeants to carry horses and move the thunder to the launch site. There were only five pieces next to the stone-firing cart, and the others were continuously transported forward by the sergeants from a farther place to stack ammunition.
After repeatedly explaining the key points of launch with the cannon of the stone car, Zhao Xingde refused Du Chujiao and volunteered to light the fire. He personally took the fire in his hand, blew it at his mouth, and approached the medicine lead. After the light and dark fire, the gunpowder lead began to burn, and the hearts of the soldiers around him were all hanging in his throat. The power of this shocking thunder was very small. Once it exploded, the surrounding area would be either dead or broken. Behind the huge rock several feet away, the captain Duan Huaixian looked at the field of the stone car with a serious expression. Further away, the soldiers holding bows and shields held their breaths.
The cannon hand of the stone car looked at Zhao De's raised right hand without blinking. As the northwest wind whistled, he held the heavy hammer of the cannon high with his hands, shaking slightly.
The gunpowder initiator burned very quickly, causing everyone near the stone car to suffer. Zhao De's face was placed in front of the gunpowder initiator and carefully watched the burning position. This focus that puts life and death outside the limit made everyone around him feel a chill.
Suddenly, the beating spark spread to the pre-calibrated position. "Let it go!" Zhao De shouted loudly and waved his right hand violently. The sound made the surrounding valleys echo faintly.
The gunner of the stone-firing cart was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses. The cannon hammer hit the tooth with a "bang". The tightened bull tendon spring made a giggle sound. The torque drove the stone-feeding arm. The sky-thunder weighing more than 100 kilograms was shot out into the air with huge inertia and the sound of wind. In Zhao Xingde's eyes, a perfect parabola was drawn, and it landed almost accurately on the enemy's guarding the pass. There was almost no pause. There was a loud "boom". The mountains responded, and even the snow on the mountaintops in the distance seemed to tremble slightly.
"Okay!" Wang Tongdeng punched the right fist on the mountain wall. Beside him, Chunyu Shang's face was already as cold as blue and his body twitched from time to time. Huang Zongdao said that this was a symptom of being infected with snake venom.
"Come again!" Zhao Xingde waved, and another thunder was placed on the stone cart, and he was still observing the order himself. The huge roar resounded again and again throughout the valley. The mountains responded, and the beasts panicked, and many of the Hassans who had originally hidden behind the stone gate were blown to the point of blood.
"We Zhao Dutou are guys." Du Chuan said to several centurions with a smile on his face. Duan Huaixian also breathed a sigh of relief. It was not easy to choose soldiers from Chengying Camp. If it were not forbidden, he would not want to take them out and fight.
