Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 871 That year, I fought with the ghost guy from Xuan Ge Camp ([-])

After someone suddenly pressed the back of his head, he fell to the ground.

Poor Huang Acan, his forehead hit the ground.

Although there was no bloody situation like bumping a stone on the face and knocking out a big tooth on the spot; however, after the face was rubbed against a piece of sand on the ground, it still hurt.

But soon after, he knew it was nothing.

Because after the boss's shadow rider lay on top of him, the heavy weight almost pushed out the undigested roast duck noodles in the morning.

Then, without waiting for him to say anything.

There was a dense whistling sound in the air, and it was approaching here quickly; instinctively, this guy just shut up, hugged his head, and closed his eyes.

I didn’t know that those sinister ghosts were so accurate in their cannon fire.

After at most a second, these shells landed near the top of the hill one after another, or even directly on the top of the hill here.

The movement caused by the explosion seemed to have landed next to them.

Amidst the earth-shaking loud noise, I was lying on Huang Ashan's side, and I really felt that the ground beneath me was shaking.

The intestines, liver, heart, and lungs in the stomach felt like they were turning upside down during the violent shaking, which was extremely uncomfortable.

It must have been the mud that splashed up high, and then fell to the ground, causing pain to his head, face and arms that were not pressed by the shadow rider.

For a moment, he had the illusion that he would die in the next second.

Fortunately, the round of cannons summoned by the Yin Rengui guy came and went as quickly as they came.

After closing his eyes and counting a total of eleven times in his mind, the explosion in Huang Acan's ears gradually subsided, and the strong shaking on the ground also gradually slowed down.

But in just a few dozen days, the feeling of earth-shattering was too fresh in my memory.

At this point, Huang Acan didn't know why Master Shadow Rider suppressed his actions just now to protect him.

So after I opened my eyes, regardless of the time that had passed, the entire mountain had completely changed.
Two or three cannons were overturned, and the personnel who fired the cannons fell to the ground; the nostrils were filled with gunpowder smoke, mixed with the strong smell of blood.

After speaking, he said in a hurry: "Master Shadowqi, thank you for saving my life.

But I can come down now. If I press it any harder, my cock will almost come out. "

After speaking, the shadow rider pressing on him did not react at all. Huang Shantou, who thought that the other party's ears were shaken by the sound of cannons, opened his mouth and repeated it again.

After the other party still didn't respond, Huang Shantou felt bad.

After struggling to crawl out, he turned around and saw the entire back of Master Shadow Rider, which was now in a mess.

Thinking about it, if Shadow Cavalry hadn't blocked him, he would have been the unlucky guy who didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Fortunately, after reaching out to feel his breath, he found that he was still breathing weakly, and now he just fainted.

Seeing this, Huang Ashan stepped forward and picked up the shadow rider on his back, and ran quickly down the mountain.

After running for fifteen or sixteen steps, a weak voice came from behind: "Huang Acan, please put me down quickly, I tell you, now we are competing with the Yin Rengui guy for speed.

The comparison is, should we sink the two steam paddle-wheel warships first and completely block the channel; or should they be faster and drive away everyone on the shore?

The folks are all good, but we are ordinary people after all, and I'm worried that they won't be able to hold on for long.

So if your cannon is accurate, hurry up and fire for everyone. This time, remember to aim at the chimneys that are emitting black smoke. It is best to shoot into the chimneys. Below them is the power cabin.

There should be a boiler there. That thing will explode when it explodes.

Damn it!It hurts me so much; Hu Biao, you are such a bastard, I hope that when you have sex with the concubine in the future, you will find that there is no balloon, and I will suffocate you to death..."

In the middle of the above paragraph, Ying Qi's voice obviously became quieter and quieter.

Before he could even finish his last words, his head drooped and hit the back of Huang Ashan's head.

Although Huang Ashan really didn't understand what the 'balloon' was for, he could naturally react and realized that Master Shadow Rider was already dead.

For a moment, unprecedented sadness and anger arose in the heart of this 19-year-old young man from a rural area in Shunde, making him feel as if his whole body was going to explode.

In such grief and anger, he gently put down the shadow rider behind him.

He stretched out his right hand and tried to close the eyes that were still wide open after the shadow rider died.

Unexpectedly, Shadow Qi's closed eyes would open wide again in the blink of an eye, with a look of stubbornness. After vaguely understanding something in his heart, Huang Shantou no longer forced himself.

He took out a short blunderbuss from Shadow Cavalry's waist, stuck it on his own waist, quickly returned to Shantou, turned around and shouted at everyone:

"Master Shadow Rider said, the next living people will obey my command.

Speed ​​up the reloading. After I came to take aim, I told you to fire before you can fire. No one should think about escaping; otherwise, military law will be ruthless, otherwise I, Huang Acan, will recognize you, but the blunderbuss in my hand will not recognize you~"

As he spoke, he quickly rushed to Buck Tooth Qiang and kicked his cousin who secretly gave him a thumbs up sign.

He cursed: "What are you doing standing still? Loading cannons~"

After being kicked awake, several uncles and nephews from Huangjiacun near the two thousand kilogram cannon continued to fill the half-filled cannon.

After about sixty figures, the cannon was loaded.

Before he could take aim and call out the cannon, the Yin people's ship fired a round of cannon first.

I don’t know what happened, maybe it was because a cannon shot here just now broke the paddle wheel, and those sinister ghost guys saw it, which made them murderous.

During this period of time, the two to three hundred surviving cannons on both sides of the strait were all firing wildly at the two steam paddle-wheel battleships that had collided.

The cannons hit like raindrops, causing sawdust to fly.

There was even a captured Yinren cannon, which was hit with explosive bullets until it caught fire and smoked.

But this round of cannons fired by the Yin people, all the cannons fired at the left bank, were all fired at their hilltop.

This also resulted in this small hill receiving a targeted and crazy attack.

In the blink of an eye, another cannon was overturned, and several people nearby were blown to the ground.

After directing Buck Yaqiang and several others to carry the cannon and adjust the muzzle of the cannon in place, Huang Acan roared out the word 'release'.

Slug didn't dare to delay at all and just lit the fuse.

After two counts, a cannon was fired at the leading steam paddle-wheel warship, hitting the tall chimney that was emitting black smoke; it hit the middle of the chimney and broke the tall chimney into two pieces.

Unfortunately, apart from knocking over a Yin man when the chimney fell, there was no greater result.

There was no time to regret it. When the muzzle of this gun was aimed, it should actually be a little lower. The young man took a big step and started running towards the right hand side, which was seven or eight gun emplacements away.

At that position, several Xiangshan guys raised their arms to indicate that the [-]-pound cannon was ready.

After running over, he naturally adjusted the muzzle and fired a round.

Unfortunately, this was Huang Acan's first time using this artillery piece, and he didn't know enough about how the cannon flew in the air.

This larger cannon missed and hit the water, creating a water column for Lao Gao.

However, this young boy had a sense of confidence in his heart at that time. If this cannon was fired next time, it would definitely not be empty.

The premise is that by that time, the cannon has not been blown over, and he is not dead yet.

Such an idea just emerged, and another whistling sound sounded in the sky, representing the incoming artillery fire.

There was another tremor, but this time no cannon was overturned.

However, among the flying shrapnel, three of the four operators next to a thousand-pound cannon were knocked down directly; the remaining one was lucky enough to be unscathed among the flying shrapnel.

Unfortunately, he was completely terrified.

He let out a harsh, unexplained scream, dropped the bristle brush in his hand, and ran wildly down the mountain, intending to escape from this place full of death.Not knowing where the fierceness came from, Huang Acan shouted "stop" several times, but it had no effect at all.

He took out the short gun from his waist, pulled the trigger on his fingertip, and shot down the target more than ten steps away by coincidence.

Then, with a cry in his mouth, he yelled:
"Xie family property, I said you are not allowed to run, so you must not run, otherwise all the people before will die in vain..."

******
In the following time, the artillery battle between the two sides was simple, but bloody, and continued. Just like the already dead Shadow Cavalry said, this is a game.

The competition is which side can achieve its goal first, and which side can't hold it back.

One minute later, Huang Ashan finally blasted a shell into the deck under the chimney. Unfortunately, for some reason, the shot was still useless.

Two minutes and 30 seconds later, the emplacement of their two-thousand-pound cannon was hit by a rocket at close range.

That's right!Some of the Yin army warships are equipped with "Congreve rockets", which are the kind that Hu Biao and others had produced on a large scale during the "Jingkang Shame" mission in the Song Dynasty.

Of course, Huang Acan didn't know about this.

What he knew was that after the explosion, when he staggered over and ran over, he found several uncles and nephews from Huangjiacun, only his cousin Buck Tooth Qiang was still alive.

She gave him a thumbs up sign again and yelled, "Shai Zai, you are so majestic today," and then her head tilted to death.

Almost biting his lip, Huang Acan staggered towards the next loaded cannon.

In that position, the cook Feizi Kun and several young craftsmen from Yangcheng were struggling to adjust the muzzle of the cannon while enduring the hot barrel.

As a result, before they could react, the cannon fell.

These people all flew up and died after landing.

Six minutes later, Huang Acan commanded a 6-pound cannon, which was also the largest cannon on the hilltop, and fired out a cannonball.

Originally, this shell was still aimed at the position under the chimney.

It's just that the ballistic trajectory of this cannon is not stable at all, and the cannonball missed by at least seven or eight steps.

Fortunately, this large iron weight weighing 23.6 kilograms hit the depression of a ship's hull. It not only finally smashed the hull, but also successfully smashed in.

It's a pity that Huang Acan didn't wait for a word of joy to come out of his mouth.

After another scream of shells breaking through the air, several shells landed on the hill, one of which was quite close to their current distance.

After a huge wave of air hit him, he felt like he was flying.

After he landed on the ground, his vision went dark and he fainted; it was precisely this that made him regretful that he did not see some of the subsequent situations.

For example:
After the 23.6-pound shell hit the cabin, almost a second or two later, a huge explosion erupted from the leading steam paddle wheel.

That is, the 'Avenger' in the Yin Army sequence suddenly rose up in the middle.

I don’t know whether the coincidental shot hit the boiler or the ammunition compartment.

But this is not important, anyway, in an extremely violent explosion, the 600-ton hull of the 'Avenger' bounced high.

Wait until it is photographed on the water. 'Crack~' it broke into two pieces.

It began to sink under the river at an astonishing speed; the surviving crew members above had no time to react and sank into the water together.

Another steam paddle-wheel battleship that was stuck with it successfully broke away this time.

But if they had a choice, the crew above would rather not leave.

Because of the huge shock wave of the explosion and the astonishing water splash caused when the Avengers crashed down, the ship's hull tilted severely to one side.

Seeing this, everyone in the Xuange camp on both sides of the strait, as well as all the surviving people, became energetic.

With the idea of ​​taking advantage of your illness and killing you, they braved the crazy firepower of the Yin fleet in the distance and fired their cannons at the tilting steam paddle-wheel battleship.

Three minutes later, this steam paddle-wheel battleship also turned upside down on the river.

In terms of width, this section of the Shishiyang River is nearly two miles wide.

However, excluding the shallow water areas on both sides and some areas where some reefs are located, the width of the channel that can accommodate the Yin Army fleet is still limited.

Coupled with everyone's previous arrangements, the Yin Army fleet is now completely unable to survive.

There are at least [-] or [-] cannons on both sides of the strait, and the morale of the combatants is high at this time. They have no way to clear the channel and then pass here.

Because without a day or two and a safe environment, there is no way to remove the sunken ship.

Aboard the flagship 'Marina', which was unable to participate in the battle due to the range of the artillery at the rear.

Charlie Elliot, the rear admiral of the Great Yin Empire, although he did not want to admit it at all, had to admit that it looked like today that the powerful fleet of the Great Yin Empire would not be able to open the channel.

As for what to do next?Of course, they continued to return outside Yangcheng and continued bombing that city.

However, the meaning of doing this has changed from just revenge to putting more pressure on Daqing.

It is hoped that the Daqing court will come forward to exert pressure on these civilians, so as to achieve the purpose of clearing the waterway and obtaining some sufficient benefits.

The Daqing court was afraid of them, they were afraid of the people, and the Daqing court was able to deal with the people.

Brother Su is on top!I have to say, Daqing is really a magical place.

Half an hour later, looking at the sails that were getting smaller and smaller in front of him and finally disappearing; after confirming that the Yinman battleship had really retreated, Hu Biao let out a loud cheer.

But at this moment, all the surviving veterans present dared to believe that they had finally won.

These mud-legged and small craftsmen actually managed to defeat the mountain-like fleet of the Yin people.

It was also at this time that Huang Acan gently put him aside.

And in the subsequent bombardment, the Shadow Cavalry was lucky not to be affected. The corpse of this newbie, the eyes that could not be closed, finally closed.

It’s just such a magical scene that no one can see.

A few minutes later, after experiencing the initial carnival, the common people thought of the hardships in this battle, as well as the fellow countrymen and acquaintances who died in the battle.

The carnival sounds in their mouths suddenly stopped, and each of them started to howl.

The huge area on both sides of the Lion Ocean was filled with wailing sounds for a while.

In fact, it wasn't just them. Even Hu Biao and others collapsed on the ground after they danced and vented for a while. After finally overcoming the excitement in their hearts, they collapsed.

They didn't expect that under all the careful arrangements.

In a battle where various advantages were formed, against the Yin Army fleet, which could only use a small part of its artillery fire, the battle ended up in such a situation, and the process would be so difficult.

The archery, martial arts, and internal strength they were once so proud of were nothing more than a joke in a battle like this.

Damn it!Times have really changed.

Fortunately, after all, they have experienced so many tasks, so this weakness is only temporary for them.

Soon after, everyone adjusted their mood, knowing that blocking the Yin Army's fleet was just the beginning for the subsequent mission.

The real challenge is yet to come.

For this reason, after leaving the warehouse manager, Caishen, Han Jiang and others behind, the others immediately rode to Yangcheng.

The three of them, the warehouse manager, stayed here because they needed to temporarily deal with the fighting situation here.

That is to say, cleaning the battlefield, treating the people who should be treated, and providing pensions. It can be done in half a day at most, and you need to rush to Yangcheng immediately.

Because that side is the real main battlefield...
