Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 403 Chu Zhaoren, You Are the One Who Boomed

The cannon carriage that Wang Tong is using now is not the kind of cannon carriage he saw in the movies and TV dramas back then, but a modified ox-horse cart. There is no brake, and it can only shoot flat.

The artillery placed on such a cart has to retreat far away every time it fires a shot. The artillery must carefully check the gun mounts on the cart. If there is any damage, it must be reinforced and repaired quickly. Moreover, because of flat shooting, the range limit is also very large. , the distance to have an accurate head is about a hundred steps.

But it's easy to hit ships on the river by firing cannons on the shore, especially a target as big as a building ship.

Seeing the cannon approaching the bank in the direction of the building under the joint efforts of the soldiers, everyone on the river bank was dumbfounded.

Eunuch Chu watched from the watchtower as the cannon was slowly pushed to the side of the ship. Just now, in order to watch the fight on the lock, he specially ordered the boatman to move the boat closer, but the cannon did not push too far.

Chu Zhaoren was completely stunned, he had already announced his name, why did the other party ignore him so much, this Wang Tong was just a close minister who was kicked out of the capital, how could he be so bold.

The artillery was pushed over, and someone laid wooden pegs on the ground to fix the cart, then cleaned the barrel and dried it, and then loaded the gun. After firing, the artillery must retreat, and the rear area must be cleared. The soldiers walked back dozens of steps. After checking it again, irrelevant people were all dispersed.

There were other ships docked on the shore, and they stood in front of the artillery. These innocent ships were naturally going to be dispersed. Wang Tong's artillery continued to do this in an orderly manner. direction.

"Wang Tong, you murderous talent, you still have Wang Fa in your eyes, but you also have the empress dowager and the emperor in the palace, and you want to murder our family!!"

The sailors on the upstairs boat, the women serving people and the little eunuch all turned pale with fright. The women were already crying and screaming, and the timid men were trembling all over. Only the eunuch Chu screamed there.

Wang Tong didn't pick up on it at all, he just stared at the artillery preparations, and when he heard someone resisting the tax on the canal, Wang Tong immediately brought people from the mansion, but this artillery was not. Wang Tong's soldiers were mainly stationed by the Haihe River , there is no defense by the canal, but if something happens, the soldiers will definitely come over, and if it is urgent, it will be inconvenient to carry heavy firearms, so a military depot is set up in a warehouse somewhere by the canal.

The cannon also exists in it. Today, I brought Mu En and others directly by the Haihe River, which is convenient and quick, without delaying anything.

At this time, Pan Ming led the bow of the boat and several hundred young men also rushed over. Wang Tong just let them stand by the river. Right now, there are nearly a thousand people on Wang Tong's side on the bank, and Chu Zhaoren's personal army is less than 300 people. , Compared with strength and weakness, naturally they dare not act rashly.

The eunuch shouted out "Empress Dowager" and "Long Live Lord". Even Wang Tong's subordinates were a little hesitant, but Wang Tong watched everyone's every move. past.

After so many days of training, everyone knows that the military order is like a mountain, and they dare not disobey it. Although he hesitated, the action is still not slow.

Seeing that the cannon was completely ready, the eunuch Chu carried out the gods in the palace for a while, cursed loudly for a while, and saw that the boats on the north bank side of the building were cleaned up, leaving only A cannon was aimed at, looking at the dark muzzle, and the eyes of everyone looking at the target, I felt that all the words were stuffed in the throat, and my whole body trembled.

The artillerymen were all ready, but they looked at Baihu Mu En, but Mu En turned to look at Wang Tong. This matter was really related, and they dared not move lightly.

What's more, my lord just told me to set up the cannon, but didn't order to fire the cannon. Before he could ask, Wang Tong had already walked over and said:
"Give me the torch, and I will fire the cannon."

Hearing this, Mu En quickly handed the torch to Wang Tong. Wang Tong stared at Chu Zhaoren who was speechless, grinned, and said:
"Count to a hundred and fire!"

When these words were spoken easily, everyone who heard them was stunned. Wang Tong turned around and said to the soldiers:

"Count it!"

The soldier hesitated before reacting, and immediately raised his voice and shouted:
"One~~~"

Eunuch Chu was holding on to the railing with both hands, staring at Wang Tong with bloodshot eyes, with a fierce look on his face, and the numbers of the soldiers below had already shouted out one by one.

When they heard that they had to count to a hundred, the people below relaxed their minds a little. They all looked at Eunuch Chu, waiting for the master to speak. Watching Wang Tong and his subordinates... when they counted to thirty, they still didn't move, and the people below panicked.

When the count reached forty, the boatmen and sailors of the building boat and the two boats before and after couldn't bear it first, and jumped into the water to swim away, and some jumped directly to other boats to escape.

Niu Qianwei and the others looked at Eunuch Chu stupidly across a boat, and then looked at the artillery on the shore. They didn't know what to do, and they didn't believe it in their hearts. Hardtop is being built on the ship.

When the count reached sixty, eunuch Chu turned his head, and gave Niu Qianwei and the others who were stunned beside him a hard look. He had been on the top for a long time, and when he turned around and stared, the people below immediately reacted.

Being stared at like this, Niu Qianwei suddenly realized, immediately dropped the knife in his hand, and shouted:

"Eunuch Chu, don't bully such a villain, you'll ruin your body!"

"Don't come to drag our family, our family has to take a look on this boat, Wang Tong, you dare to kill me, you can shoot now if you have the ability!!"

When Niu Qianwei yelled, Chu Zhaoren also became ruthless and screamed loudly there, but now those who are a little more sensitive can understand what Eunuch Chu said means that the cannonball is about to fire, you guys will kill it sooner Take our house down.

After all, the personal guards were slow to react, but the trembling little eunuchs on the ship who had already been frightened to death immediately understood that they had already rushed up to the watchtower, crying and saying:

"Eunuch, don't talk too much with these thieves, go down quickly!"

"Don't pull our family, don't pull our family, but see what Wang Tong dares to do!!"

The eunuch Chu struggled desperately, yelling loudly, but was half pushed and dragged off the watchtower. Over there, Niu Qianwei hurriedly found a few small boats and approached them, taking the eunuchs, women and people who hadn't left on board together. Put it on the boat and leave the boat far away.

The eunuch Chu was yelling at the sky and the earth on the boat, but the people who hugged him felt that Eunuch Chu was not struggling very hard...

"One hundred~~~"

The soldiers who counted finally called out the number, and there was no one on the upstairs boat. Wang Tong plugged his ears with cloth balls first, and then put the torch on the fire door.

With a loud "boom", a large hole was opened on the side of the professional building boat facing the muzzle, sawdust fragments splashed everywhere, and the shell penetrated the wall of the first floor of the building building, and went straight out from the other side.

A few kilograms of heavy metal projectiles flying at high speed, the wooden ship building can't resist at all, but it's just a hole. The cannon cart is pushed back by the recoil. There are several thick ropes on both sides of the cannon cart. The ropes are very long. Exit After more than twenty steps, the artillerymen on both sides picked up the rope and pulled it hard.

"Turn down the muzzle and continue loading!!"

I thought the calculation was over with one shot, but Wang Tong gave another order. The artillerymen dragged the artillery cart back, but dug a small hole in front of the cart, and the front two wheels of the cart's four wooden wheels entered the small pit. , and then nailed wooden pegs to fix it, but the muzzle has been lowered.

After loading, there is no need to count and wait this time, Wang Tong directly ignites again...

"Bang rumbling" sounded like a muffled thunder on the canal, no matter whether it was on the building boats or people around the front and back, they had been cleaned up, so there was no need to worry about being injured by the artillery, but every time the artillery sounded, everyone heard it. My heart skipped a beat, and my body shook accordingly.

"My lord, the barrel of the gun is already hot, we have to rest for half an hour before firing!"

The artilleryman Baihu Mu En shouted from the side, Wang Tong nodded, and threw the torch into the river. After breaking the pillar, it finally couldn't support it and collapsed.

Two holes were also punched in the hull of the ship, and water began to enter during the violent turbulence. The ship was completely broken...
Wang Tong clapped his hands and said:
"Eunuch Chu, please come and talk."

There is no need to invite, the eunuch Chu is not afraid when things have come to such an extent, he is walking ashore surrounded by his subordinates, and walked quickly angrily.

"Wang Tong, today you are in the first day of junior high school. Don't blame our family for the fifteenth year. You think you are a close minister of the Long Live God, so you can do whatever you want. You have been kicked out of the capital. How dare you be so arrogant and domineering. Wait until our family returns to the capital. Da Nei, go to the Empress Dowager, go to the Long Live Lord, let them comment on this truth, and they will definitely give our family justice."

There are so many people on Wang Tong's side, and the hundreds of soldiers under eunuch Chu dare not do anything, they can only yell and curse like this. Anyone with a little common sense knows about today's incident. , Empress Dowager Cisheng must be furious.

Wang Tong didn't answer his question, pointing to the fleet on the river and said:
"Eunuch Chu, silk, porcelain, all kinds of things, plus gold and silver jewellery, your fleet has almost 20 taels of silver, did you buy them for the palace? double the amount of money, and then commit suicide to make amends.”

At this question, Chu Zhaoren was stopped by the question, how could the money he had amassed be bought for the palace? But Tong said:
"If it's not a public product, then I have to collect taxes and fine silver as usual. Do you know who the money is for this official? Tell you, it's for the Long Live God! It's for the Empress Dowager! What kind of credit card will not be given, if you are released, you will not give him or give it in the future, how can I collect money from the emperor to raise money? You violently resisted the tax, intending to break through the customs, and injured the tax collector. You have broken the rules and regulations. …”

The voice became louder and louder, Wang Tong paused, pointed at the other party and roared loudly:
"...Chu Zhaoren!! This officer is the one who bombarded you today!!!"
