Kowloon wins

Chapter 544

"The last general kowtows to the prince!"

As soon as he saw Hong Qing rushing over, Li Minxing didn't care about reprimanding the generals who were unfavorable in the battle, and quickly rushed to Hong Qing, gave a thousand blows, and respectfully greeted him.

"No, how's the battle going?"

Hong Qingxu raised her hand and cried out in a peaceful voice.

"Returning to the lord, since the fierce battle, our department has wiped out more than 630 thieves, and there are more than [-] remnant bandits who are currently huddled in the compound above. The general sent people to charge several times, but failed. The general is incompetent , ashamed."

Hearing Hong Qing's question about the progress of the war, Li Minxing's face turned red involuntarily, and he replied with shame.

"How about our casualties?"

Hong Qing didn't care about the remnants of the enemy hiding in the compound above, but first asked about her own casualties.

"My lord Mingjian, 28 people from our army died in the battle, and there were more than [-] wounded, most of them were caused by the failure of the previous attack."

After all, Li Minxing was born in the rivers and lakes. When it comes to martial arts, he is certainly a top expert in the world, but when it comes to commanding battles, his level is only average. Hearing Hong Qing's question about the casualties, her blushing face turned even redder. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Hong Qing's face, and replied with a slightly depressed mood.

"Ah."

Hong Qing didn't ask any more questions, and walked slowly to the front of the formation, frowning slightly, looking at the big courtyard on the high slope, her mind working rapidly.

The slope is not too steep, only about 150 degrees, but it has a [-]-degree bend. There are more than [-] steps of stairs on the slope, all of which are made of stone. The ground is connected into one piece, and there is basically no possibility of walking through it. However, there is an open space of tens of feet in front of the house. There is also a steep cliff on one side, which is difficult to climb. Obviously, it is impossible to take the enemy's rear route. If you want to attack the house, you have to attack from the front. However, the frontal road is not very wide, and it is difficult to deploy troops. To defend the enemy, you only need to deploy Dozens of strong bows are enough to seal off the front road, unless they take their lives to pile them up, otherwise, it is impossible to get close to the house, and this is obviously not a good way, the bodies of dozens of palace guards who fell on the ramp are already It proved the impossibility of storming.

It's a pity that I didn't bring artillery. Otherwise, a few shots in this terrain can open up the situation, huh?Have!

After carefully inspecting the terrain for a while, Hong Qing couldn't help frowning. It's not that the house is really indestructible. In fact, if there is a cannon in hand, it can be done after a while. Because of this, Hongqing couldn't bring the cannon with her. Facing the stubborn enemy on the high slope at this moment, she couldn't help feeling a little annoyed in her heart. Just as she was restless, a thought suddenly flashed into her mind After coming out, Hong Qing immediately showed a clear smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Minxing, ask someone to chop some bamboo, both thick and thin, hurry up!"

Hong Qing has always been an actionist, since she has a proposition, she will not hesitate at all, and she has already given an order with a wave of her hand.

"twitter!"

Hearing Hong Qing's words, Li Minxing couldn't help being stunned for a moment, he really didn't understand what Hong Qing's intention was, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he hurriedly responded and directed all his subordinates to be busy up.

"What are those bastards doing?"

When the guards of the royal residence took such a picture, all the bandits who were on guard on the fence of the house were all dumbfounded. Among them, the monk was the most anxious, and asked blah blah.

"It's hard to say, I guess I want to clear the way."

Zheng Mingrui was also ignorant, and the answer he gave was naturally just a random guess.

"Let's not let it go. If you want to clear the way in such a dense bamboo forest, what can you do with just so few people? Could it be that you are planning to build the plank road and hide the warehouse in the dark? We still have to beware of those bastards coming up from behind, or else Pindao will bring some people to guard behind?"

Lu Dingsheng obviously had other thoughts in his heart, but he didn't say anything, but he used Zheng Mingrui's words, and after a few perfunctory words, he recommended himself to guard the back road.

"Well, this matter must be guarded against. It is enough to go to three or five people. We just need to hold on until the end, and the reinforcements at the two checkpoints will definitely arrive. By then, that bastard will definitely be unable to eat."

The battle last night was extremely useless, with a surprise attack of nearly a thousand soldiers, it was defeated by more than [-] guards of the palace, not to mention the loss, and all the leaders of our own side were all wrapped in dumplings. Zheng Mingrui's teeth were itchy, but he wasn't worried that the mission would not be completed, nothing else, because he still had two big cards in his hand, and he thought he was absolutely sure of turning the tables, so he didn't mind following here Hong Qing's troops were in a stalemate.

"Well, the front guards will rely on the two, and the poor will lead people to ensure that the rear is safe."

Hearing what Zheng Mingrui said, Lu Dingsheng's eyes rolled quickly, and he said something perfunctory with a smile on his face. Then, regardless of what Zheng Mingrui and Monk Yin said, he led a few of his confidants straight to the backyard. go.

"Okay, come here a few people, move a stone to try the range."

Naturally, what Hong Qing wants is not to clear the way, there is nothing else, although clearing the way is one of the countermeasures to broaden the attack line, but if this is really done, when the way is opened, the physical strength of all the guards will be exhausted. At that time, not to mention attacking, even defending will be difficult. If the bandits take advantage of the chaos to break through, wouldn't it be a lot of fun?Obviously, Hong Qing would never do such a stupid thing. All he had to do was build a simple trebuchet with his own hands. After it was assembled, Hong Qing clapped her hands in satisfaction, and then laughed Hehe waved to a few guards who looked strange, and gave instructions excitedly.

"twitter!"

Now that Hong Qing had given the order, the guards didn't dare to be negligent, they suddenly complied, rushed forward, laughing and ready to launch.

"Ugh..."

The trebuchet made by Hongqing is very simple, but it is just a crude device made by using the principle of leverage. The stone shot out a distance of more than twenty feet.

"Change to a longer bamboo stick and try again!"

The first test shot was successful, which is considered a good result, but Hong Qing was obviously not satisfied, after estimating the distance, he gave the order again.

"Ugh..."

The longer the lever is, the longer the shooting range will be. A stone of the same size has been ejected more than [-] feet away this time. The fly in the ointment is that the longer the lever, the more force is needed. Originally, two people are enough The levers of manipulation must be increased to three.

"Okay, let's build four more according to this specification, Min Xing, and send someone to carry a few boxes of grenades, and bundle each of four into a bundle."

Seeing that the shooting range was sufficient, Hong Qing stopped demanding, nodded in satisfaction, and issued a general order loudly.

"twitter!"

Hearing Hongqing's order, Li Minxing immediately realized that Hongqing made the trebuchet for throwing grenades. Li Minxing couldn't help but think of the scene of cluster grenades exploding in a courtyard crowded with bandits. The ground was a joy, and he accepted the promise with a smile, and directed a group of guards of the palace to spread out.

"Stand up and give me a f*cking blow!"

The hands and feet of the guards of the palace were extremely agile, and within half an hour, everything was ready, but more than [-] guards of the palace were seen carrying five simple catapults up the ramp, at the corner The five trebuchets were lined up one by one, and following Li Minxing's order, all the guards of the palace started in unison, and threw the cluster grenades that were drawn to the upper courtyard.

"Boom, boom..."

After all, the simple trebuchet was made in a hurry, and there was no guarantee of its accuracy. Only three of the five cluster grenades were thrown into the courtyard, and one of the other two was thrown in the open space outside the courtyard, and the other was thrown into the courtyard. But it exploded in the air before it landed. Even so, the shock it caused to the gangsters in the courtyard was appalling.

"Don't mess up, get down, get down all, stay steady!"

As soon as the cluster grenade exploded, the gangsters who were originally in the front yard of the courtyard suddenly became a mess. Although the casualties were not very large, only a dozen or so unlucky ones were shot to the ground by the flying shrapnel. The resulting momentum made the gangsters panic, and the courtyard was full of gangsters scurrying around. As soon as this happened, Zheng Mingrui's eyes turned red immediately, and he shouted and roared wildly, trying to stabilize his position .

"Don't stop, keep voting and blast those sons of bitches to death!"

Hearing the howling ghosts and howling wolves from the courtyard above, Li Minxing felt relieved for a while, and he would not let go of this great opportunity to beat the dog in the water. With a wave of his hand, he drank loudly and got down make.

Throwing, throwing again, all the guards of the palace were busy with joy, smashing clusters of cluster grenades into the courtyard without worrying about the counterattack of the gangsters, nothing else, thirty feet The distance between them has already exceeded the range of bows and arrows. Unless the gangsters risk their lives to attack, otherwise, there is really no threat to the guards of the palace.

"Come with me, kill out!"

With the continuous bombing by the guards of the palace, the casualties of the bandits in the courtyard are getting heavier, and the morale of the army is completely gone. Seeing this, Zheng Mingrui's heart is already cold, and he knows that if he does not fight back, his side It was absolutely impossible to stay in the hospital, and in a panic, he couldn't care less. He jumped up, brandished the big knife, and let out a loud roar with enough energy.

"Kill, fight with them!"

"Kill one to earn money, kill two to earn one, kill!"

"Rush, rush out!"

……

The gangsters were all blood-licking generation with knives, and there was no shortage of bravery. After hearing Zheng Mingrui's order, they all went crazy, and hurriedly removed the latch on the gate of the courtyard. , yelling, rushed out of the courtyard, and rushed towards the trebuchet position where the palace guards were located along the stairs...
