Chapter 2959 Tonight will be a sleepless night for everyone
Li Jing, Su Dingfang, and several Tang generals who arrived one after another all looked at Cheng Sanlang dumbfounded, with complicated expressions in their eyes.
It's like being surprised when you wipe off the skin of a stubborn stone and reveal the bright gems inside.
Li Jing's big hand patted Cheng Sanlang's shoulder heavily, and he said after a while, "You are worthy of being the tiger son of the Cheng family that Old Cheng often talks about."
"Huzi?" When Cheng Chubi heard this description, he immediately felt that the adjective used for his biological father was a bit unreliable. He had to use Qilinzi to make him look more dignified and knowledgeable.
Huzi, no matter what, makes people feel a bit fussy. Well, it is purely a matter of personal perception. After all, there is also such a commendatory term as general tiger.
When Cheng Sanlang made it clear that he was here for the flying thunder cannon, Li Jing instantly understood what this boy wanted to do.
Compared with other artillery pieces that weigh hundreds of kilograms, the flying thunder cannon weighing less than a hundred kilograms is indeed very suitable for the guerrilla tactics described by Cheng Sanlang.
It can run away with one shot, and the range of this flying thunder cannon is enough to let Cheng Sanlang lead the musketeers in the dark.
You don't need to get too close to the Goguryeo camp to cause significant damage and impact to the enemy camp.
"It seems that tonight will be another sleepless night for the Goguryeo people." Su Dingfang on the side also smacked his mouth with toothache.
Fortunately, this demon moth is a Tang Dynasty person and not a soldier from another country. Otherwise, even a famous Tang Dynasty general like me, who is confident that his army can surpass others, will have a headache when he encounters this guy.
"Isn't that better?" Cheng Sanlang laughed, his eyes bright.
"The harassment of the Goguryeo camp was too great last night. They will definitely find a way to plot against Cheng tonight."
"Before arriving, Cheng had already received news that the Goguryeo camp had sent a cavalry, and it was stationed behind the camp. It was clearly directed at Cheng."
"How can Cheng do what they want? I have to give them some more noise. I want to see if the Goguryeo people, who are always on fire in the backyard and are jumping around like dogs, have enough time to attack the city."
"..." Li Jing heard this and looked at Cheng Sanlang's proud face, and his face turned slightly dark.
The happy smile on Su Dingfang's face was also a little stiff, but it was hard to say anything.
After all, the greater the noise caused by Cheng Sanlang, the less pressure they would have on the Tang soldiers who were surrounded by 70,000 to 80,000 Goguryeo soldiers and horses.
While he was talking, the improved version of the flying thunder cannon, which weighed nearly eighty kilograms, was sent over, along with twenty supplies of ammunition. Cheng Chubi carried the flying thunder cannon on his back with ease.
Cheng Fa, Cheng Da and other accompanying persons were responsible for carrying the ammunition, and once again secretly climbed out of the city wall and arrived at the ruins not far away.
Together with the reception staff, we carried such a good treasure and left straight away.
Seeing Cheng Sanlang and others gradually moving forward under the cover of night, Li Jing slowly shook his head and raised his eyes to look in the direction of the Goguryeo camp.
So far, most of the Goguryeo people's attacks on the nameless town have been sheep attacks. If Cheng Sanlang had been struggling for one more night.
I don’t know what choice this group of Goguryeo soldiers and horses, who have clearly become trapped between a rock and a hard place, will make.
Su Dingfang, who was standing next to Li Jing, wiped his face vigorously and whispered with a somewhat resentful expression.
"Commander, since we have been trapped in this unknown town, we have not encountered a decent siege. Even the heavy firearms we brought have not been used."
"..." Several other generals also looked up to the sky with lonely faces. They had done almost nothing in the past two days except not having a good rest.
I just watched that guy Cheng Sanlang leading the gang of musketeers all day long to kill the monsters outside.
Now, that guy secretly carried the flying thunder cannon away. Next, hehe...
"It doesn't matter, the soldiers will sacrifice less, which is a good thing for our Tang Dynasty to conquer Goguryeo."
Li Jing took a deep breath and could only comfort the generals. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but twist his mouth.
"Tonight, I'm afraid those Goguryeo people will have trouble sleeping all night again."
As soon as these words came out, all the generals and generals of the Tang Dynasty grinned, and their smiles seemed to be rejoicing in others' misfortune. However, they did not expect that they would soon stop laughing.
Mainly because they underestimated how powerful the noise generated by the explosion of the thunder cannon was...
#####
After Cheng Chubi led a group of accompanying musketeers and jumped out for more than two miles, he turned his head and glanced at the Goguryeo military camp. A bonfire was already lit there, which looked so eye-catching in the night.
"Mr. Cheng, let's leave quickly. We've already got our things. Let's leave first. I'll be a little worried if those Goguryeo people find out what we're talking about..."
Next to him, Li Min was looking around nervously, fearing that a group of Goguryeo cavalry would jump out of the dark night.
After hearing what he said, Cheng Chubi smacked his lips and said, forget it, it's still early, I'm afraid those Goguryeo soldiers haven't fallen asleep yet.
If you wait until later to fry it, the excitement to the Goguryeo people will be even greater.
Soon, Cheng Sanlang and others took the flying thunder cannon and disappeared into the distance.
General Su led the group of Goguryeo cavalry and squatted in the dense spring forest, looking longingly at the camp a few miles away with flickering firelights.
The spring in the north was still very cold, but they could only grit their teeth and persevere at the moment. After all, as long as they could contain the Tang Dynasty bandits, it would be a great achievement.
However, the waiting time passed so slowly and was extremely painful. At some point, General Su also began to doze off.
Only a dozen sentries with good eyesight were left standing there on duty.
I don't know when, dozens of Tang Dynasty musketry cavalry were standing silently two miles northwest of the Goguryeo camp.
At this moment, dozens of Tang Dynasty cavalry, surrounded by Cheng Sanlang and several others in the center, were installing the flying thunder cannon on the flat ground.
Then he began to calibrate the angle, and after stuffing the ammunition weighing thirty kilograms into the barrel of the gun, Cheng Chubi took another affectionate look in the direction of the Goguryeo camp.
At this moment, those Tang Dynasty musketeers had wisely rode away from here, leaving only Cheng Sanlang standing there alone.
After making sure that everyone else was far away, Cheng Sanlang took out the tinder and blew it. When the open flame lit up and hit the lead, a chirping sound was heard.
Cheng Sanlang turned his head and ran back nearly twenty feet without hesitation, and then hurriedly squatted down.
Then, I saw a ball of orange-red flames suddenly appear in the distance ahead, and then there was a loud noise like thunder exploding.
Cheng Chubi counted silently from the beginning until he reached twenty-nine, when he saw a dazzling light suddenly bursting out in the distant darkness...
Almost as soon as they saw the flash of light, more than a hundred Tang musketeers who had already quietly sneaked up to the mountains above the dense forest where the group of Goguryeo cavalry were hiding, were already holding the grenades in their hands, waiting.
