Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 387 Everyone, follow me to kill the thief

The No.12 Battalion Xiaoqi Muen was an artilleryman trained by Tan Huo. They belonged to each battalion, but they were actually under the direct command of Wang Tong. Tan Huo also had the title of artillery commander.

There are [-] forts, and the soldiers stationed in the guards are often rotated, but the artillery is always on hand. The daily drills are drills. In fact, life is very leisurely, but Mu En is a little dissatisfied. Guns, sweating profusely on the training ground, fighting with the enemy with real swords and guns is the hero.

So since the spring of the seventh year of Wanli, I have been pestering my boss to go to the battalion of soldiers and infantry. Naturally, it is best to go to the cavalry, but there are few artillerymen, so I was trained several times by my boss, but I didn't agree at all.

Mu Enzu is a native of Yunnan. It is said that Mu Ying, the Duke of Guizhou, joined the army when he entered Yunnan. Later, for unknown reasons, he came to Tianjin Wei and served as a guard.

It has been passed down from generation to generation to Muen's generation. There are four brothers and sisters in the family, and Muen is the youngest. Seeing that the eldest brother and the second brother in the family will be able to make ends meet, and the elder sister married to a poor family, so I don't want to stay at home as a burden When he caught up with Wang Tong's recruitment, he simply joined the army.

He is physically strong and simple and honest, and his superiors value him very much, so he was promoted and made a small banner.

When the sharp copper whistle sounded, Mu En, who was sleeping in his clothes, suddenly jumped off the bed, and all the gunners on the bunks in the room were startled.

"Wood, there seems to be a boat on the river, approaching!!"

Mu En patted his face with his hands and said loudly:
"Did the brothers guarding the fort tell you?"

"They've already formed a team!"

"Is the cannon loaded?"

"Wood, we have the old rules, the cannon is always filled with medicine!"

"Consolidate it one more time, let me hurry up the fuck, if things are delayed, Lord Wang will march to kill people!!"

There was a panic in the house, and the artillerymen ran out one after another. The front of the fort was covered by a brick wall, and the artilleryman on duty whispered:
"Wood, come and have a look, dozens of ships seem to be going ashore next to our fort!"

There are mostly storage yards and warehouses on the banks of the Haihe River. These places are marked with wind lights at night to unload the carts and ships that come over at night. With these lights, you can vaguely see the ships that are moving on the Haihe River. The largest ships are slowing down. Approach slowly.

Mu En took a few glances, rubbed his eyes again, and said loudly:
"Turn the cannon with a wooden stick and blast the motherfucker!"

"Wood, could it be a merchant ship..."

"You're confused, you didn't hear the whistle, and besides, there's no one to lead the ship to greet you when the merchant ship docks!!"

The two artillerymen held a wooden pole, inserted it under the gun mount, and began to rotate with a yell. The artillery on the mount was a semi-fixed style. The gun body was seated on a wooden box with small wooden wheels. It can also be turned, but it takes some effort to use wooden bars.

Seeing that the cannon had adjusted its direction, Mu En picked up the red-hot iron braze in the brazier, and said with a sneer:

"It's not good where to go, you come to Tianjin Wei to seek death!!"

The iron rod was moved to the primer at the fire door, and the primer was ignited with a "sizzling" sound, and the surrounding artillerymen covered their ears.

***********
A loud "boom" overwhelmed the sound of the copper whistle and the growing noise in the commercial area...

The leading ship was already full of people, and everyone was waiting to jump off and go ashore when it was close to the shore. According to their thinking, in such a quiet night, the officers and soldiers would not be prepared at all. Kill, the fort will become a decoration.

Cannonballs whizzed towards them, Mu En and the others hadtily adjusted the muzzle inaccurately, the shells missed the ship, a little higher, but they hit the right side, the high-speed flying metal projectiles brushed against the side of the ship, standing on the deck The pirates on board couldn't dodge in time, and immediately flew into blood and blood.

I don't know how many people's upper bodies were directly beaten to pieces. The shells passed by the boat and fell into the river with a roar. The uninjured pirates around were also splashed all over their bodies and faces by the flesh and bones of their companions.

The copper whistle sounded, and the banks of the Haihe River were quiet. The pirates still felt complacent, thinking that they could go ashore this time to catch them by surprise, but they didn't expect the thunderous cannons to ring out suddenly.

This psychological gap was so huge that those who were paddling were all stunned. After a while, someone uttered a cry, and everyone jumped into the river in unison.

Muen fired the first cannon. Six of the eleven forts could turn the cannons to shoot at the pirates. The six cannons fired one after the other.

There was thunder on the canal, the lights were black and the lights were blind. They only relied on a blurred outline to shoot. The aim was not high, but if they hit them, they would definitely be killed or injured. Although only a few ships were hit, none of the pirates dared to stay on board and die. , jumped into the river like dumplings, and swam desperately towards the shore.

The south bank of the Haihe River is still farmland, so it is safe to run there. The south bank is within the firing range of the artillery. In order to avoid accidental injury, there are no soldiers stationed there.

But at this time the pirates were in a daze, and they were all unfamiliar with their places of life. Many of them swam towards the north bank. The soldiers of the battalions stationed around the fort had already lined up in two rows and headed towards the bank. Leaned over.

"Whoever comes up from the river is the enemy, let's kill the enemy!!"

The battalion officials and hundreds of households gave orders loudly, and the soldiers put their spears flat.

"Brothers, give way first, the cannon can't hit anyone, and let these thieves eat iron sand!"

At this time, Mu En and a few artillerymen trotted out, and the two of them carried a tiger squatting cannon. This cannon weighed only a few dozen catties, and it was filled with iron sand fragments, which was a range of forty steps. It was quite useless in battle.

When the battalion officer saw Mu En leading the people in front of him, he was so angry that he wanted to curse, but he could only order the soldiers to stop first. Mu En and the artillerymen around him put the cannons on the ground, fixed them with something behind them, and lit them to fire. .

There were two muffled sounds, and the gunpowder smoke filled the air. The pawns all clenched their weapons, fearing that the enemy would go ashore at this time, and the gunpowder smoke cleared. Turn around and swim back.

The iron sand and lead shot by the two tiger squat guns formed a semicircle with a radius of [-] steps. In this semicircular barrage, those who were close were smashed into a sieve, the upper body of the person behind was smashed, and those farther away were crushed by high-speed flying metal fragments. It is affected by particles, and it also loses combat power after hitting it.

Many things cannot be seen clearly at night, but if you pay attention, you can still see that the river water has become a darker color...

Some people had already climbed ashore in other places, but swimming ashore in the panic of roaring guns was no longer a battle strength, not to mention waiting for them on the shore was an array of gleaming spears.

The soldiers of the Huwei Army were also very nervous, but they didn't expect the battle to be so simple. They only needed to thrust out the spear in their hands, and the enemy in front of them could only howl and raise their blades, and then they were stabbed to death there.

There was also a brave pirate who swung a Japanese sword and cut off several spears. He was about to charge forward, but there were too many spears. After taking a step forward, countless holes were pierced all over his body.

It was impossible for the pirates to break in from the river.

************
Soldiers on the seaside used boats full of firewood to burn the boats, and proceeded cautiously, paddling and looking for large boats, not daring to disturb the soldiers left behind, so they did so very slowly.

By the time the fire was lit, the pirates had already gone a long way, and no one thought about turning back. There was such a prosperous area so close to the sea, and there were only so few officers and soldiers stationed there, not even a city wall or trench. No, this kind of fat meat is like a gift from God, so go there and have a good time.

Hearing the sound of the copper whistle in front, the pirates only slowed down slightly, and the leaders raised their weapons and shouted:

"Brothers, rush over, mountains of gold and silver, beautiful women are waiting for us over there, run quickly!!"

Everyone shouted at each other, thinking about the carnival of looting the village, but quickened their pace...

*************
When the pirates rushed to the shop area, they found that it was very quiet here. Because it was night, it goes without saying that every shop was closed. The strange thing was that every house had a lantern hanging above the street. The wooden pole is raised high, but it can't support many lanterns, and the whole street is quite bright.

The sound of the copper whistle had stopped. If it was normal, the people who had received the warning were already in a mess. They shouldn't be so quiet.

"The common people must be hiding at home, or they ran away, and they can't run far now, and they don't have much property. Let's catch up!!"

Some of the pirates clamored loudly again, everyone is used to running amok at sea, regardless of Ming Dynasty, Japan or Korea, they all reacted in this way, could it be that Tianjin Wei is different,
"According to our prior arrangement, we all go to our respective places to wash, don't make a mess!"

The big man called "Master Tiger" yelled, and the pirates who had long been unable to hold back roared and rushed into the street brandishing their weapons.

**************
On the watchtower, you can clearly see the pirates pouring into the street, and the sentinels keep shouting down to report the situation.

On the square and several streets to the west, the soldiers of Jinyiwei and Huwei Army had already gathered here. Wang Tong and other soldiers would ride on horses in full armor, and command a battalion of soldiers to enter the street according to the news from the watchtower.

*************
The pirates all thought that something good was inside, but after running for a while, many of them couldn't bear it anymore, and began to smash the door of the shop desperately, supporting each other to climb over the wall and get in.

At this moment, there was the sound of neat footsteps, and on the other side of the street, officers and soldiers approached in a neat formation holding their spears.

The soldiers lined up very neatly, with almost no gaps left on both sides, and they seemed to be squeezed like a wall...

*************
The big man called "Tiger Lord" led the most people, and they walked the widest street in the commercial area. The people this group of pirates encountered were Wang Tong and the cavalry led by Wang Tong.

*************
Seeing the panicked pirates in front of him, Wang Tong hit the horse's belly with his heel, swung the long knife forward in his hand, and shouted:
"Everyone, follow me to kill the thief!!!"
