Chapter 235 0232 [Grandpa Lei, spare your life]

The eight clay pots that Feng Kongmu had just lit were different from the ordinary firearms in the army.

For ordinary firearms, the detonating gunpowder is only a bamboo tube, and the remaining space in the clay pot is filled with caltrops.

The eight clay pots just now were actually filled with gunpowder, adding up to forty or fifty kilograms.

Although the explosive power of the black powder produced by Han Zhen is not as powerful as that of later generations of nitrocellulose and other powerful gunpowders, the gap is not as big as imagined. The power is about one-third that of TNT.

These gunpowder jars were originally used by Han Zhen to blow up the city walls.

However, after several experiments, I found that although it was powerful enough to crack rocks, it was completely unable to explode against a city wall more than ten meters thick, so I had no choice but to give up.

Boom boom boom! ! !
The earth trembled and my eardrums stung, as if a thunder god had arrived!
Before Feng Kongmu could recover, a violent wave of air hit him.

He only had time to let out a cry of surprise before he fell heavily to the ground, and his eyesight went black.

At this moment, the originally silent county town suddenly boiled and fell into boundless panic.

"Grandpa Lei, spare your life!!!"

"The earth dragon has turned over, run!"

There were people running around like headless flies.

There were also people who knelt down and kowtowed, begging Lei Gong for his life.

I don't know how long it took, but Feng Kongmu shook his head and struggled to get up, his eyes buzzing.

The four scribes under him were still lying on the ground, their faces blank.

He turned his head and looked through the fires burning everywhere. There was no public house anywhere, only a ruined wall was left, and the thick black smoke filled the sky, almost blocking the moonlight.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Look at the two Qiu Ba from the Xuanhua Army, sitting against the wall with their mouths open, screaming unconsciously.

The other one had a wooden stake stuck in his chest and had long since made no sound.

Gollum!

Feng Kongmu swallowed and couldn't help but recall the extremely solemn look on Qiu Dutou's account yesterday.

This is not a firearm, this is divine punishment!

"Kill!!!"

"Kill the dog officer and welcome the county magistrate!!!"

Suddenly, a cry of murder came from outside the government office.

Feng Kongmu understood that this was Kong Dutou's surprise attack.

The four scribes were slapped on the face one by one, and he yelled: "Run away if you don't want to die!"

The explosion of the firearm just now was so loud that it could probably be heard miles outside the city.

If the government office suffers a disaster, the Xuanhua Army guarding the city gate will definitely rush to help.

They will fight later. They have no eyesight with swords and guns. It is too dangerous for these powerless civil servants to stay here.

After receiving a heavy slap in the face and burning pain on their faces, the scribes finally came to their senses, hurriedly got up, and followed Feng Kongmu to escape from the government office through a side door.

……

"What happened?"

Hu Xianzhao woke up from his sleep, looking horrified.

At this moment, a report from the soldiers sounded outside the door: "Commander, first there was a loud noise from the direction of the government office, and then there was a cry of killing. It seemed like a rebel rebellion!"

Rebellion against thieves?

Hu Xianzhao was shocked and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly, send an order to Deng Jie, the Marquis of Yu, and ask him to mobilize troops to assist the government office!"

After explaining, he quickly lit the oil lamp and began to put on the armor on his body.

……

"Kill!!!"

Kong Quan, holding a steel sword, led the way into the government office, followed by three hundred strong archers.

The loud noise just now really shocked him.

Fortunately, I knew in advance that this was the power of a firearm explosion, otherwise I would have been like those common people, kneeling down and begging Grandpa Lei for his life.

Fighting all the way into the government office, they encountered almost no obstacles or resistance.

Some of the hundreds of Xuanhua troops guarding the government office died in the explosion, while others were lucky enough to survive but were frightened to death.

Swish!
A knife was slashed on the neck of a Qiu Ba. Kong Quan wiped the blood spattered on his face and shouted with a ferocious expression: "Surround the backyard, don't let those dog officers escape!"

"Dog Killer!"

The archers were furious and rushed towards the backyard with roars.

What they had experienced in the past few days made them hate these dog officials.

"Are you planning to rebel?"

As soon as he rushed into the backyard, he heard a loud roar.

Yang Jingde was seen wearing a crimson official uniform and glaring at everyone.

The archers were restrained for a moment and stagnated by his momentum.

Yang Jingde was not as fearless as he showed. On the contrary, he was scared to death.

Suppressing the fear in his heart, he continued to speak loudly: "The Xuanhua Army will be here soon. If you put down your weapons now, I will just pretend that nothing happened."

All the archers looked at me, and I looked at you, but they were completely out of ideas.

At this moment, an angry curse rang out in everyone's ears.

"The dog officer will die!"

Yang Jingde was startled when he saw a figure running out, and then he felt a chill in his abdomen.

Looking down, he saw a steel knife stabbed straight into his stomach.

Without waiting for Yang Jingde to react, Kong Quan pulled out the steel knife and slashed the opponent's neck hard.

This sword was so powerful that it directly killed Yang Jingde.

Kong Quan raised his head high and said loudly: "Don't listen to this dog officer's nonsense. Kill the other dog officers quickly. As soon as the county magistrate enters the city, Xuanhua's army will be turned into powder immediately!"

"Dog Killer!"

Encouraged by this, the archers came to their senses and began to hunt down other officials.

……

At the same time, torches were lit in the backyard of Zhuolou.

Hundreds of police officers, led by their respective captains, stood in the courtyard, turning their heads to look in the direction of the government office from time to time, looking frightened.

The loud noise and the trembling of the earth just now really frightened these detectives.

Even though Qiu Niu told them that it was caused by military firearms, the police officers still couldn't help but feel fear.

They really couldn't imagine what kind of firearm could be so powerful, almost like a punishment from heaven!
Qiu Niu and several other scouts were currently wearing black mountain-pattern armor and hanging firearms from their waists.These firearms were different from those that Feng Kongmu had lit before. Although they were also round clay pots, they were much smaller, and the pots were wrapped with straw ropes.

The first function of the straw rope is to facilitate hanging on the soldier's waist.

Secondly, it is to prevent the pottery pot from completely shattering when thrown out, causing the iron caltrops in the pottery pot to scatter.

With the straw rope entangled, even if the clay pot is broken, it will not fall apart, ensuring that when the gunpowder explodes, the caltrops can be ejected.

Zhang Liuer's eyes widened, he looked at the clay pot curiously, and couldn't help but ask: "Master Jun, is this the firearm that Grandpa Lei was summoned just now?"

"Different."

Qiu Niu shook his head, too lazy to explain.

There were six people, each with five firearms hanging on their waists. After finishing preparing, they fell silent.

After a while, a policeman couldn't wait any longer and said in an anxious tone: "Master, when will we set off?"

"What's the hurry!"

Qiu Niu glared at him.

Hearing this, the detectives had to calm down.

After a while, a burst of rapid and heavy footsteps came from the street in the front yard.

Qiu Niu felt a shiver in his heart, knowing that this was the Xuanhua Army rushing to the government office for reinforcements.

There are four city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Zichuan County. Each gate is guarded by more than [-] Xuanhua troops.

Their number is already small, and their main force is to catch fast people. If they charge forcefully, they have no chance of winning.

You have to wait for some soldiers to rush to the rescue and cooperate with firearms before you have a chance to capture it.

After the footsteps faded away and disappeared, Qiu Niu ordered: "Let's go!"

The expressions of the detectives changed slightly, with nervousness and anxiety in their eyes.

Opening the side door of the backyard, Qiu Niu took the lead and headed straight for the east city gate.

The police officers drew their sabers from their waists and carried simple shields made from door panels, following closely behind.

At this time, the city was in chaos, and their group did not attract any attention.

He just scolded from a distance: "You wait for the unruly people, and retreat quickly, otherwise the swords and arrows will not be able to see!"

Qiu Niu ignored him and rushed forward.

It wasn't until they were completely close to the city wall that the Xuanhua Army guarding the city realized something was wrong.

The black mountain armor and the steel knives in the hands of the police officers behind them reflected bursts of cold light under the torches.

"No! It's a rebel!"

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Xuanhua Army soldiers shouted loudly.

There were not many Xuanhua troops guarding the cave, only 50 people, and the rest were on the city wall.

Upon hearing the incoming rebels, the soldiers on the tower turned around, drew their bows and nocked arrows, and aimed them downwards.

Qiu Niu shouted: "Put up your shield and rush into the cave!"

The detectives behind him immediately hurriedly raised the door panels to block the front.

Tuk Tuk Tuk!
The next moment, a dense rain of arrows hit the door panel, making a crisp sound.

Qiu Niu took off a firearm, took out the fire stick, and lit the fuse.

laugh!
The sound of burning fuses suddenly sounded.

Qiu Niu is actually very afraid of firearms, especially after seeing the power of firearms with his own eyes.

But at this moment, the long-term training has worked.

After lighting the fuse and counting five times in his mind, he aimed in the direction of the city cave and threw the firearm forcefully.

Snapped!
The clay pot flew into the city cave accurately and hit the ground with a crisp cracking sound.

However, the straw rope wrapped around the pot prevents it from falling apart when broken, and it still maintains its original shape.

chi chi chi~
In the city cave, the soldiers of the Xuanhua Army looked at the clay pots at their feet and looked at each other in confusion.

"what is this……"

boom! ! !
Before he finished speaking, a deafening loud noise erupted in the city cave.

Jingle Jingle!

Immediately afterwards, there was a clear sound of metal collision, mixed with screams.

18 Xuanhua Army soldiers lay down facing each other, wailing continuously from their mouths.

The surviving Xuanhua troops all looked horrified, and their eardrums felt stinging.

The space in the city cave is not large, which inadvertently amplifies the power of firearms.

"What happened?"

"I don't know either."

"Witchcraft must be witchcraft!"

The loud noise of the firearm explosion frightened the Xuanhua army on the tower.

They only saw a rebel throwing an object with sparks, and then heard a loud noise and the screams of his colleagues.

This is not witchcraft, what is it?
Before they could recover, two more clay pots were smashed into the cave.

After two loud noises, only five Xuanhua troops were left standing in the cave.

"Run!"

They had never seen such weird and terrifying firearms before. They were so frightened that they threw away their weapons and ran up the tower.

"rush!"

Taking this opportunity, Qiu Niu roared.

A group of people ran wildly and rushed into the city cave.

After ordering the police to block the entrance with a door panel, Qiu Niu shouted: "Quick, stir the noose and raise the thousand-jin gate!"

When the winch rotates, it makes a heart-wrenching squeaking sound.

On top of the city tower, a Yuhou's expression changed: "No, the rebels are opening the city gate!"

However, among the more than three hundred Xuanhua troops, no one dared to go down to the tower.

The three loud noises just now frightened them out of their wits.

Just as they were hesitating, a shout came from below.

"The city gate is open!"
