The explosions and dense gunfire sounded again on the Taohua Dike played a good role in concealing Gao Liugeng who was walking through the bamboo sea.

Relying on his agile body skills practiced for many years, Gao Liugeng was like a clever monkey, flashing and moving in the bamboo forest where ordinary people could not get to the feet. Half an hour later, he finally passed through the bamboo sea and came to a low-lying place near the top of the mountain platform.

At this time, the gunfire at the foot of the mountain gradually subsided. Gao Liugeng was probably Tao Laojiu and others who had successfully attacked and retreated after taking advantage of it. At this moment, he could not contact the foot of the mountain because after entering the bamboo sea, he had put the walkie-talkie mechanism in the walkie-talkie mechanism.

Because he was very close to the top of the mountain, Gao Liugeng's movements slowed down a lot. He climbed out of the low-lying area and took more than ten minutes to move forward in the snow-covered dead grass. When he could see the outlines of the two cannons through the snow curtain, he found that there was no ghost shadow of the Qing army around him.

"Is it because Lao Jiu and the others were fighting too much that scared these guys away?"

Just as Gao Liugeng was suspicious, he suddenly heard a speech from the right side in his ears. Because he had been practicing martial arts for many years, his sense of qi around him was far beyond ordinary people, so when he listened calmly again, the whisper like a mosquito gradually became clear.

"...Shouming, how are your brother and the others living in Jingzhou? I heard someone say a few days ago that the garrison city over there is almost no place to put down, and the schoolyard is full of people."

"Who said no! It's really a pain! I advised him to wait a little longer, but he didn't listen. Alas~~"

"His brother's family lives with my cousin's house! The three families have twenty-one people squeezed into a small courtyard as big as a palm. They have to queue up to go to the toilet at night. Jingzhou is not as small as Jiangning, and there are thousands of people coming at once. No one wants to live outside the city, so they can only make a living."

"I heard some days that the imperial court was going to farm in the south of Gansu. Whoever we are willing to go there will be a settlement fee of 100 taels, another 100 acres of land, as well as cattle and seeds."

"Farming? Let me tell you, how many of our bannermen can farm? It would be strange if you take a hoe or hoe your big toe!"

"It's a day to be able to deal with it every day! My mother often says that there is nothing in the world that can't be overcome."

"The court released more than 100,000 troops in Shanhaiguan. Prince Ding visited Jiangyin and Wusongkou a few days ago. He asked me to tell me that the pirates in Beihai cannot come in, so don't listen to the people coming from the capital."

"That's it! We, the Lord, went to Jilin with the Deputy Chief, five years ago and saw the North Sea Pirates with our own eyes. Isn't this good?"

More than a dozen Qing soldiers were talking, and then they heard a thick voice "spit" and cursed: "What the hell is it! You guys can also discuss the military and national affairs of the imperial court?! You two! Go clean the snow on the oil cloth and check the gunpowder again. This is a damn bad weather. If the gunpowder is damp and cannot be fired, the prince will kill people."

"According to the order."

Not long after, Gao Liugeng heard the sound of footsteps approaching him. He raised his head slightly and looked through the dead grass. He saw two Qing soldiers wearing straw raincoats reaching a ten-meter-meter-south side of the two cannons, where there was a bulge protruding from the ground.

Because the bulge was covered with snow, Gao Liugeng thought it was a slope or a big stone. When he saw a Qing army sweeping the snow on it with a broom in his hand, revealing the oil cloth below, he realized that it was obvious that gunpowder and shells were placed there.

When the Qing army general Xueshuai was almost done, he lifted a corner of the oil cloth. Another Qing army cat lowered his waist and leaned in, groped for a while, then shouted in the direction he was walking towards: "Sir, gunpowder is fine, there is no water vapor at all!"

"Clean the snow on the cannon position!"

"Yeah!"

After the two Qing soldiers agreed, they walked towards the cannon position. One of them muttered as they walked: "Damn! I know how to call people. Do you think we guys are urging us? We were so tired that we lifted the cannon, but it was okay, the snow was getting heavier and heavier. It was really a military advisor of Song Jiang, it was useless!"

"Say a few words. If he hears it, he will be whipped again."

"What are you afraid of? You have to rely on Yinze, the ancestor, to become an official with a big booster. Do you know how many ounces of medicine this cannon is loaded at a time? Grandma! You have to point at our man when it comes. By the way, have you seen it? When the guns below fired, the one's legs were like sieves."

"real?"

"No! I'm really looking."

“…”

While cleaning up the snow around the oil cloth and the cannon position, the two Qing soldiers kept nagging, trying to dispel the anxiety in their hearts. However, none of them noticed. Gao Liugeng had quietly approached a few meters behind them, and a spiral dagger emitting black light appeared in his hand.

Just as a Qing army finished sweeping the snow on the cannon and was about to turn around, Gao Liugeng rushed over like a leopard that suddenly launched a fatal blow to the prey. The Qing army saw a black shadow pounced on him from the corner of his eyes. He was shocked and felt a chill in his throat before he could scream, and then it felt a heat.

The Qing army, who was hit by the sword, was pinching his mouth tightly with his hands, and he could not make any sound at all. He instinctively grabbed the latter's wrist holding the knife. However, as blood gushed out, the Qing army soon lost strength and gradually loosened his hands.

The Qing army general who was cleaning the other cannon position was almost wiped out. He was about to greet his companions when he suddenly saw a black shadow pressing towards him like a mountain. He was frightened and his hands and feet were sore and he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. Similarly, Gao Liugeng's big hand, like an iron pliers, had already pinched his mouth before the blade stabbed in.

After only a moment, the Qing army also fell to the ground and kept twitching. Gao Liugeng pulled the dagger out of the other party's abdomen and followed the position of the Adam's apple for another moment.

Gao Liugeng, who had succeeded in the sneak attack, did not insert the dagger into the grass-green cylinder scabbard on his shoulder until the Qing army was completely dead. Then, he took off the assault rifle behind him, opened the security, and hugged his waist and walked towards the position where the other Qing army gunners were.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! More than ten seconds later, a dense "da da" shooting sounded on the top of the mountain covered with snow fog. At this moment, Gao Liugeng transformed into a god of killing, swept and rushed forward, launching a storm-like attack on the Qing army that was surrounding the bonfire to keep warm.

When the 30 bullets in the magazine were fired, the flat mountain top had become a Shura field. Except for the two who took advantage of the chaos to roll down the hillside, the other Qing troops all fell into a pool of blood.

Gao Liugeng had no time to check the casualties of the Qing army one by one, changed the magazine, turned around and walked towards the artillery position.

When he came to a mountain-splitting cannon, he raised his hand and lifted the tart cloth covered on it, then took out a grenade from his back, unscrewed the bottom cover, and prepared to stuff it into the muzzle. However, he realized that the grenade could not be inserted at all!

It turned out that the diameter of the head of the wooden grenade of the Northern Navy was 48 mm, while the diameter of the Qing army's heavy mountain-splitting cannon was only more than 30 mm, which was not a small margin.

Gao Liugeng's eyes wandered between the place where the gunpowder was piled up and the mountain-splitting cannon for a while, and soon gave up the idea of ​​using black gunpowder to explode the cannon. No, the wall of the iron cannon was too thick, and he probably had to stuff the inner chamber with gunpowder to blow it up.

However, pouring black gunpowder into the gun mouth was too time-consuming, and it was too late. At this time, a rapid gong sounded at the foot of the mountain, and I believe the Qing army would come up soon.

Thinking of this, he put the grenade back, turned the rifle in his chest behind him, walked to the back of the iron cannon, bent down and picked up the tail of the cannon with both hands, stood firm with his feet, took a deep breath, and exerted force on his waist, and his whole body was clattering. With a loud shout, the five hundred pound cannon body was suddenly lifted up.

Immediately afterwards, he used the mound of earth on the cannon as a fulcrum and pushed forward with great force. The mountain-splitting cannon stood up, and then rolled down towards the bamboo sea at the foot of the mountain, making a dull impact sound along the way.

Afterwards, he did the same thing and pushed the second cannon under the hillside.

Among the disciples of Chang Naizhou, Gao Liugeng is famous for making good use of large guns. The old saying goes, "Moon stick, Year's knife, and Lifelong gun". If you want to practice a gun well, you must practice your legs, waist, wrist, and arm strength after years of hard work. The skeleton must be penetrated, and the strength of the whole body must be pulled into a stream when exerting force.

Like Gao Liugeng, you can lift something weighing more than 500 kilograms at once. The theory of Tai Chi is called "bone-joining and tenons". That is, bones are interlocked and perfectly carried out, and a rigid body state similar to traditional architectural tenon and rivet structures can be achieved. The force penetrates the gaps of all joints around the body. Anything that is not loose and transparent cannot be done.

When you reach this point, it is called "Join a dragon and a tiger" in the industry. You don't have to swing your fists when you fight with someone. When you encounter an enemy, you just need to rub it!

With the ability of dragons and tigers, coupled with the weapons far beyond this era in Beihai Town, this is where he dared to break into the enemy formation alone.

Just as the second mountain-splitting cannon rolled down, dense footsteps also sounded on the road leading to Yongqing Temple. Gao Liugeng knew that time was urgent, so he quickly walked to the place where the gunpowder was piled up, lifted the oil cloth, took out the wooden handle grenade that had already unscrewed the lid from the hanging bag on his back, hooked out the fire ring, and pulled it hard, throwing the grenade with blue smoke into a basket filled with gunpowder, turned around and ran away.

When he came to the edge of the mountain's top several steps and was about to jump down, a bright burst of flames rose up behind him, and then a larger and brighter fireball was released.

There was only a loud bang, and a large area of ​​soil, grenade fragments, three-pound shells, rags, and even various debris, including grass, trees, bamboo and stone, were knocked down in the sky, as if it had rained heavily.

At this time, Gao Liugeng had already fallen from the air to the hillside, holding his head and slid and rolling on the hillside, and soon arrived at the edge of the bamboo sea. He got up and calmed down after observing the surroundings, then jumped a few times, and disappeared into the dense bamboo forest in a blink of an eye.

On the other hand, the Qing army, who were about to reach the top of the mountain, were also frightened by the sudden explosion and urinated. They lay on both sides of the mountain road and didn't dare to move. After a while, they heard that the top of the mountain did not move, so the Qing army got up and went to the top of the mountain to check.

Around the extinguished bonfire, more than a dozen Qing soldiers fell in a pool of blood, and they were dead and could not die anymore. After a rough examination, the Qing soldiers found that the wounds on these people were extremely terrifying. Several people who were shot in the head had half of their heads; those who were shot in the abdomen and torso were all holes as big as bowls, and blood and flesh were splattering everywhere.

The scene like Shura Hell made the Eight Banners Armored soldiers present look no more and vomit. They have not faced the bloody battlefield for many years. Although they have heard of the fierce weapons of the North Pirates, this is too terrible.

There was such a big noise in the back mountain, and Prince Ding Mianen, who was in charge of Yongqing Temple, soon found out. After receiving the report, he was furious and roared to behead the seriously injured Guanpao Xiaoqian School and questioned him. At the same time, a sense of frustration arose in his heart.

At this moment, he finally realized the powerlessness of Agui, Fu Kang'an and Qinggui when they fought against the Northern Hai Army. He had joked about others privately before, but now when he saw that the eldest brother would not talk about his second brother.

Because there are many hilly valleys in Shangyuan County, even if the four thousand armored eight banners were stationed together, the surrounding area of ​​Xiaocang Mountain could not be opened, so they could only surround them, gradually narrow the encirclement, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop.

"There are only ten North Sea pirates! They are still protecting a group of old, weak, women and children. Why is it so difficult to fight?! Could it be that there are more than ten of them, and there are more people? No! It's impossible!"

It was so frustrating! Suiyuan finally attacked in before, but the other party was brave enough to launch a sneak attack. Just as he said he was taking a breath, Wunina, who was waiting for the mountain-splitting cannons to be transported, was caught off guard, and more than 30 people were killed and injured, and even the pirates of Genbei were not caught. Now the temporary artillery in the back mountain was destroyed again, and the most deadly thing was that the gunners were all dead.

It is easy to charge and ignite and set off fireworks, but sighting is not something that ordinary people can do.

In this year, whether it was the Eight Banners soldiers or the Green Camp, there was no mature artillery training system like European countries. The sighting skills of the garrisoned Eight Banners gunners were basically inherited, that is, the group of people who had been fooled by Wu Zhenchaoha.

The artillery that only fired three guns a year is playing around!

Mianen, who felt a little irritated, walked out of the side hall with her hands behind her back, her face turned pale. He raised his head and looked at the dark sky, thinking carefully about how to take down Suiyuan as soon as possible and catch Yuan Mei.

Jiangning City is so big and there are so many people, martial law will be a lot of trouble for a day. If it is delayed until tomorrow, the people will definitely have trouble.

In a trance, he thought about the situation in the capital again. What cards will Jiaqing play next? How should he deal with it? Are all his troops in the Beijing camp replaced? How should those members of the royal family contact each other privately...

Then, he suddenly thought of how he would deal with it if the Northern Navy invaded Jiangnan on a large scale, and what should he do if he couldn't fight it. If Jiangnan could not defend it, everything he had imagined would become a passing cloud.

After a while, the cold wind wrapped in the snow kept falling on his face, making him feel even colder. He raised his cold hands and rubbed his face a few times. He felt a little hot. Then he turned around and returned to the hall, and asked the guards to take his golden flames and ruby-carried sable helmet, put on a red cloak, took the horse whip, walked out of the door, and said to the several guards standing at the door without turning their heads:

"Follow me to see the Suiyuan!"
