Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 612 Morning
"Dahe, help me take off my armor!!"

Sitting on the ground, Li Hutou said loudly, yelling with his mouth, but kept his hands on, he quickly cleaned the barrel of the gun with a cleaning rod, then bit the small paper bag, poured the gunpowder into the barrel, Tamp a few times with the cleaning rod, then stuff the projectile in, block it with a ball of paper, grab a little gunpowder from the porcelain bowl on the side, stuff it into the primer pool, and then close the lid.

A small half of the arrow shaft was exposed from Chen Dahe's shoulder, and the rest was already cut off because he thought it was in the way. He gritted his teeth and took a short knife, and cut off the connecting leather rope of Li Hutou's armor.

The armor leaves of the deck were directly scattered on the ground, Li Hutou didn't care, he just loaded the ammunition nervously there, and the others did the same. Chen Dahe walked up to his companion, and used a knife to push the leather rope away.

The dozens of firecrackers in the house had already been loaded before dark, but if ten people fired the firecrackers, if there were too many thieves, they might not be able to suppress them.

Not to mention that there is a limit on the number of firecrackers and ammunition brought into the palace. After firing the firecrackers continuously, there must be a short buffer. This gap is likely to be broken by the enemy.

If you use the firecracker to kill the enemy at the beginning, the enemy will dodge and fight with other methods to attract the firecracker to shoot, instead of rushing and fighting like this, without retreating at all.

For people like Wang Tong, firecrackers are the last guarantee, unless they are at the end of their ropes, they cannot use this sharp weapon, or if they lose this support, the consequences will be disastrous.

Now the people around Wang Tong were killed and four were injured, but the number of enemies outside was reduced to less than a hundred. Although these hundred people are the core strength of the thieves, the number of these people is no longer enough to completely consume the firecrackers. The battle also bought enough time, the palace was quiet everywhere, the initial chaos had passed, and now it was time for the forces in the palace to counterattack and suppress.

Wang Tong, Li Tao, and Sun Xin hadn't been injured much in the battle just now. The three of them had the best physical strength, and they had enough firecracker training, so they were the ones to cast.

The door of the room was not big, and it was a bit crowded for three people to come in and out. The three of them bombarded, and the loading behind them could keep up.

Don't look at the three of them either holding short guns, or holding fire guns and constantly coming out to shoot, but it is a nightmare for the thieves in the yard. The guards are at most wearing light armor, which can withstand the firearms of the Huwei army.

The imperial guards of the capital can be regarded as elite warriors. They have an idea of ​​Daming's firearms. They are bluffing but useless things. If they are rushed to the front by the enemy, they will die. They need bows, arrows, knives and guns when they see the truth. Their cognition was overturned, the firecrackers roared, and the smoke filled the air. Even if they were not hit to the vitals, they immediately lost their fighting power.

What's more, the courtyard is so narrow and crowded, Wang Tong and others who are holding firecrackers probably judged that there is nothing they can't miss. The roar of firecrackers and the screams of the thieves in the courtyard continued.

The firecrackers were rotated twice, and the barrels were slightly hot, but it was too early to be unusable. Wang Tong had already replaced a bundle of matchlocks. The most troublesome part of this battle was the matchlocks. The gun couldn't be fired. Fortunately, it only misfired a few times, and it didn't cause any major trouble.

The guards in the yard were completely suppressed. Seeing that success was imminent, who would have thought that they would come up with such a method. What kind of firearm is this?

Some people were shot in the abdomen and thigh, and they couldn't die for a while, moaning and howling loudly in the yard, and some people finally realized that they were plotting to attack the emperor's residence at this time. Cutting, implicating relatives, crying regretfully there.

These things make people lose their courage. Some people have already dropped their weapons and ran around. The mansion in the palace must have started a large-scale search at this time, but it is better than the Shura field in front of them. It's been as long as you have escaped.

There are high walls everywhere in the palace, there is no wind, here is another courtyard, surrounded by walls, the smoke from the gunfire did not disperse.

The vision in the courtyard was very blurry, and it was dark, and the embers in the brazier were still emitting red light, but it was useless. Apart from groans and shouts, there was no moaning in the courtyard, and it was dead silent.

"Master Xi, Lord Xi, the imperial guards are rushing over, all our brothers in the west have been killed, we can't stop it, Lord Xi, you should go too!!"

A guard covered in blood climbed over the wall and cried out to Shuangxi. Shuangxi was standing alone in the corridor. Although he was an eunuch, he was holding a spear in his hand and wearing chain mail. A general, he glanced at the imperial guard and said pitifully:
"You take a step first, I will come later!!"

The guard nodded, turned around and was about to leave when the spear in Shuangxi's hand stabbed out, directly piercing the guard's body, and the guard died instantly.

"What are you going to do? It's this time, go there..."

Shuangxi walked out of the corridor with a spear in hand, posed a pose, and murmured:

"Master, slaves can no longer serve you!!"

After he finished speaking, he let out a loud roar, and rushed forward with his spear in his hand. The space between the corridor and the house in the front yard was filled with smoke, and he could vaguely see the light at the door. Shuangxi couldn't see clearly, but he was heading in this direction.

The light inside the door dimmed, and then heard three loud bangs of "bang bang bang" almost at the same time, Shuangxi felt a whistling in his ears, and then his right shoulder and chest seemed to be hit by a sledgehammer , he leaned back, supported his body with the spear, struggled and took two steps forward.

But he could only take these two steps, and his body couldn't support himself, so he fell directly on the ground, struggled a few times and couldn't move.

"It seems that someone rushed over?"

"I don't know if it hit or not. Do you want to go and have a look?"

"It's important to guard the house, don't move lightly!!"

Several people on the steps discussed a few words, and then entered the room to change the firecrackers.

************
After a short period of silence in the yard, there were dense footsteps sounding from a distance, including the sound of horseshoes, all coming towards this side.

Wang Tong and the others became nervous. Judging the number of enemies from the sound of footsteps and hooves is a basic skill. The sound of footsteps outside was no less than 500 people, and they came in a line, which meant that they were a well-trained team. If it is an enemy, it is really unstoppable.

"It should be the palace that has maintained the situation!"

I don't know when Zhang Cheng came out of the house, took two steps, and was almost tripped by the messy weapons and armor in the house, the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood in the yard, the sound of approaching footsteps and The moans and howls made Zhang Cheng, who was always calm, turn pale. He also heard the shouts outside just now and the final roar of the firecrackers clearly.

After leaving the back room, seeing Wang Tong and others covered in blood made Zhang Cheng feel even more afraid. If Wang Tong and others hadn't come, what would be the situation now...

"Eunuch Zhang, no matter who is here, don't dare to be careless!"

Wang Tong replied in a deep voice, and shouted loudly:

"Don't slacken!! Pack up all the firearms, put on the armor for those who are not injured, it's not time to rest yet!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Tong's shoulder tilted, and he grinned himself. During the fierce battle, he also ate two times on his shoulder. He didn't feel anything during the fierce battle. At this moment, he relaxed a little, but felt that it was slowly starting to ache. Wang Tong Turning his head, he saw the companion lying quietly on the ground.

Little Leopard is Li Bao’s nickname. He and Sun Xin come from the same hundred households, and his family’s situation is not good. He was also taciturn in Huwei Wuguan. Tong went to Tianjin Wei together. Li Bao was silent, but he could endure hardships. He practiced endlessly on weekdays. Because of his good eyesight and arm strength, he was selected by Tan Gong to teach bow and arrow. Wang Tong didn't have a deep impression of him, after all, he was low-key. very.

This time when he came to Tianjin Wei, Wang Tong brought all the teenagers from Huwei Martial Art Museum. He had considered the danger before coming, but he didn't expect that someone would die here.

Although the relationship is not very close, after all, they have been together day and night for so long, but now they have turned into a cold corpse, parting from life to death.

"Wang Tong, what's the situation outside!?"

Emperor Wanli also came out from the back room. He picked up a dagger in his hand. Zhao Jinliang also held a dagger, which looked like he was peeling fruit. Emperor Wanli's face was pale, but Zhao Jinliang gritted his teeth.

Presumably, when he was in the inner room just now, the gunpowder smoke and bloody smell from outside had seeped in. After he came out, the smell became stronger, and Emperor Wanli's face turned pale again.

Wang Tong saw Emperor Wanli, bowed his body, and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, please go back to the back room. The situation is unknown at this time. Your Majesty's golden body must be taken care of..."

Wang Tong was extremely exhausted, the sound of dense and orderly footsteps outside was gradually approaching, he was not in the mood to say anything else, he just asked Emperor Wanli to go back politely.

"Isn't this Li Bao? I remember that he likes to eat the dried venison brought by me the most. Every time I take a few more, he died in battle... Does he have a family? I will reward you heavily..."

Someone outside the wall screamed, presumably he had found the corpse outside, Wang Tong turned around, he didn't care about the dignity of the monarch and ministers at this time, he pushed the person into the room first, and he didn't care about it when the fight started.

"Your Majesty is safe!!!?"

Shouts came from beyond the walls.

****************
"...Sanyang Teaching to return Yang, a joke, if we could pay it back, our family would have paid it back a long time ago. Our family just doesn't want there to be any eunuchs in the world. Without the emperor, without this Laoshizi Forbidden City, there will be no eunuchs, and there will be no eunuchs." There is no eunuch, and there is no nameless person who is worse than a dog..."

When the night was at its darkest, Lin Shulu's voice was slightly higher, then he shook his head and smiled, and said:
"His Royal Highness Lu, stop pretending to be asleep."

Lu Wang Zhu Yichun shuddered and sat up suddenly.
