Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 172
Bai Sheng looked at the watchtower suspiciously, and suddenly found that there were small holes on each floor of the four-storey watchtower. Those holes were not conspicuous from a distance, but at this moment, there were suddenly sticking out of each hole. He stood very close to a black iron pipe, so he could see the iron pipe very clearly.

What it is?
Bai Sheng subconsciously felt that something was wrong with those things, but before he could react, there was a faint "release" command from inside the watchtower.

There was the sound of crackling fried beans above his head, and then it seemed that a gust of wind was blowing, and Bai Sheng saw the minions who rushed to the gate of the village fall down in an instant.

The gunpowder smoke has passed, and there is only mourning!
On the No. [-] gun tower in Sunjiazhuang, the scene was in chaos after the salvo. Luan Tingyu was patrolling the ranks of the model platoon, and his nose was crooked after taking two steps.

He directly dragged a peasant soldier out of the shooting hole, pointed at his musket that was missing the cleaning rod, and said, "Where is your cleaning rod?"

"Okay... It seems that I was in a hurry before, loaded the medicine and fired the gun without taking out the cleaning rod, and hit, hit downstairs."

Luan Tingyu glared at him resentfully, then turned to look at another farmer beside him, who was leaning on a musket that had exploded in a daze, trembling all over because of the bombing accident just now.

Luan Tingyu took a look at him and knew what was going on, took the musket and poked the barrel of the gun with a cleaning rod, and sure enough, he threw the musket on the ground and scolded the farmer: "You are still the squad leader, why are you so busy?" You put two lead bullets into it in one breath, thanks to the good performance of your gun, if the barrel is a little thinner and explodes, even you and the brothers beside you will be killed!"

The peasant soldier's face turned red and white after being scolded by him, and he didn't know how to speak.

Sun Xin watched this scene silently, which was not too strange. He remembered some war records about the era of line infantry that he read in his previous life.

Officers at that time generally reflected that the so-called infantry salvo was actually all kinds of disorderly shooting after the first round of salvo.

Even in the most elite army, the real lethal shooting is in the first round, after which the soldiers will have various accidents due to the tension on the battlefield.

Thinking about it, it takes half a minute to reload a muzzle-loading gun. On a battlefield full of gunfire, who can settle down and spend half a minute reloading a bullet without distraction before shooting forward?
In fact, the performance of these farmers and soldiers just now has made Sun Xin's eyes shine. At least they still have the most basic combat awareness of three-stage shooting. They successfully completed a round of three-stage shooting.

The tense situation in the face of the enemy needs to be improved through more battles so that these soldiers can gradually accumulate experience.

How to train musketeers is Luan Tingyu's business, Sun Xin did not participate too much, and at this moment he is looking at Master Lu who is sinking beside him.

Although Master Lu was still wearing a monk's robe, the fierce murderous look on his face could not be hooked to the Buddha statue at all. He had been quietly watching the situation below, and Sun Xin asked: "Are you going to fire the cannon?"

Master Lu shook his head, stroked his beard slowly, and waited until the bandits downstairs gradually receded and gathered in an open area in Sunjiaji, then Master Lu hurriedly said to the banner officer behind him: "Let the No. The No. [-] artillery position, shoot!"

"Our No. [-] gun turret is also aimed at No. [-] gun position, shoot!"

A moment ago, downstairs of the No. [-] watchtower, at the gate of Sunjiazhuang, Bai Sheng felt that he was in a hell for a moment.

When the first round of musket salvo was fired, he hadn't realized what happened, but he saw a dozen or so of his men rushing to the front fell down in an instant.

It wasn't until the second round of musket fire from the watchtower that Bai Sheng realized that some hidden weapon must have been fired from above.Then he quickly asked the sons to step back.

But this thing is too powerful, hitting a person will directly shatter bones and tendons.

Seeing that an arm beside him was blown away in an instant, Bai Sheng was so frightened that his feet went limp.

And those leaders behind him who came to the gate of the village to make a noise were also frightened when they saw this scene.

Their instant dispersal did not slow down the attack on the watchtower too much. Bai Sheng found that when they ran back, there were still continuous crackling and penetrating sounds from the watchtower.

Accompanied by the sound, the slow-running sons fell to the ground one after another like decayed grass blown by the wind. Bai Sheng ran all the way, feeling more and more surprised, and finally found that the weapons fired from the watchtower could shoot The distance to reach is actually more than three hundred steps!

Of course, the aim of the flintlock is not so far away, but the height difference of the Yilai watchtower makes the flying distance of the falling bullets farther. Secondly, the streets of Sunjiaji are so narrow, and the bandits in Liangshan were blocked in the street. On the ground, dozens of people shot down desperately, even if a blind cat hits a dead mouse, some unlucky ones will always be shot.

And when the bandits found out that even if they ran as far as three hundred steps, they would still be hit by the ammunition fired by the black pipe protruding from the tall watchtower.

Bai Sheng retreated to the center of the market together with the crowd, and finally saw the brother next to him being knocked down by the hidden weapon on the dark building, but when he looked forward, his heart sank.

I saw that forty or fifty corpses had been left behind this way, and the short road of several hundred steps was crowded with blood.

The ones who rushed to the front just now were all his subordinates, and the main ones who died were also. Now his sons lost 50 to [-] people in an instant.

For a moment, Bai Sheng wanted to give up, but then he thought about his low status on the mountain, and not many sons were willing to hang out with him. Now that his subordinates have suffered heavy casualties, what soldiers and horses will he have under his command when he returns to the mountain? ?My business this time can be regarded as a big loss.

Thinking of the situation he would face after returning to the mountain, Bai Sheng's originally frightened face showed a stern look again.

No, I have to take down this Sun Family Village, even if it's just for my own future!

He looked at Ou Peng and Ma Lin behind him and said, "Brothers, let's gather our soldiers and horses and go to the Zhuangzi again! I was negligent before, and I fell into the trick of Sun Xin. Just a few more bumps We can knock down the gate of the villa in one fell swoop. At this time, we gathered a group of people and rushed up together. We only need to charge again. After opening the gate of the villa, so many men, women and goods in the Sun family village can be plundered by us. .

Ou Peng and Ma Lin both looked distressed, thinking: Isn't your subordinate Erlang the first one to run back just now?If it weren't for you running back with you and crowding in the street to block the way, our team would not have broken up and hadn't withdrawn in time and lost manpower.

But remembering that Chao Gai had expressed his intention to cooperate with Bai Sheng when they went down the mountain before, they didn't dare to disobey for a while.

They all followed Song Jiang all the way up the mountain when Song Jiang was rescued back to Liangshan, but they were only the periphery of Song Jiang. Now that Song Jiang returned to his hometown in Yuncheng to surrender, the three heroes of Huangmen Mountain had nothing to rely on. .

This time when they came down Liangshan, even though Bai Sheng was ranked behind them, knowing the relationship between Bai Sheng and Chao Gai, they didn't dare to disobey Bai Sheng's intention.
