At this time of year, there is a lot of rain, and it started to rain lightly at night. The climate here in Yizhou is naturally a bit cold.
Liu Jingtang was sitting alone next to Dujiangyan, quietly fishing with a bamboo pole.
Some time ago, before Chen Mu went on an expedition, he often took Liu Jingtang to the river to fish, and now Liu Jingtang is extremely passionate about it.
With a bag of sesame seed cakes, a fishing rod, and a dozen earthworms, he could sit here all day and all night.
But his skills cannot be flattered. After fishing for several months, he would be happy for most of the day if he could catch a small fish as thick as a finger.
"Mom, according to what my brother-in-law usually shouts... I'm afraid I'll be in the air force again tonight. Hey, is it too late? From the afternoon until now, apart from wasting my life, I really haven't done anything.
!”
Since he no longer participates in matters in the power circle, Liu Jingtang's life today can be said to be extremely leisurely.
"Come back tomorrow."
After sighing, Liu Jingtang put away his fishing rod and prepared to go back.
But at the moment when he stood up, he suddenly saw several huge shadows approaching in the distance on the river!
"This is……"
The night was dark, and there was no moonlight tonight. Liu Jingtang kept watching with blank eyes. When he got closer, he realized that there were dozens of large ships!
Liu Jingtang frowned slightly. After all, he had been in the battlefield for so many years, and he suddenly became alert.
"A merchant ship? No, if it is really a merchant ship, how could you not dare to light a fire? And come to Shu County in this night?"
Nowadays, my brother-in-law is taking all the troops to Yangzhou to fight against the Japanese pirates, but the Longxia court in the north has not taken any action. Liu Jingtang suddenly thought of a possibility: the Longxia people came to steal the house!
Liu Jingtang has been in the army for so many years, so he naturally knows what the consequences will be if Shu County, the heart of Yizhou, is lost.
At that moment, he didn't even bother to bother with the fishing rod, he raised his legs and ran towards Shu County.
When he arrived in the city, Liu Jingtang did not sound the gong to make the noise known to everyone, but went straight to the weapon production bureau. There were more than 2,000 people at the weapon production bureau, and they were very knowledgeable about various firearms. The only way to find
They're here to help.
"Daughter-in-law, wake up quickly!"
After many days of contact, Wang Qiong has now married Liu Jingtang. Seeing Liu Jingtang running over, Wang Qiong rubbed his eyes: "You're back? How big of a fish did you catch? And you came here specifically for me?"
"
"What the heck, get up and call everyone in the Qi Zuo Bureau. The Long Xia court has sent people to sneak attack on our Shu County. I'm afraid they'll get it in less than half an hour. Hurry up!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Qiong, who was still sleepy at first, suddenly woke up: "Really?"
"If you see it with your own eyes, quickly ask your men to pick up firearms and ambush them. Nothing happens to Shu County. Otherwise, not only will we die, but our brothers-in-law who are still fighting on the front line will also be in danger."
Once there is no supply of food and grass, the consequences will be too serious.
Wang Qiong immediately stood up and headed outside. Fortunately, everyone from the entire Qiu Zuo Bureau lived nearby, and within a moment, everyone was gathered out.
But when Liu Jingtang saw that these people were all like a group of weak scholars, with thin bodies, he couldn't help but asked in a deep voice: "Is it okay for you people? If not, just find those blacksmiths."
"Don't worry, the prince once said that material resources are greater than manpower. These people are proficient in firearms. You must know that the iron bullets fired by a child are as powerful as those fired by an adult."
"Okay, but hurry up, I'm afraid that Long Xia's army will be ashore at this time."
After Liu Jingtang finished speaking, Wang Qiong began to organize the people present. When these people heard that the enemy was coming to attack them, although they were thin, they were all men and did not flinch at all.
"Go to the warehouse and get the firearms, hurry up!"
Wang Qiong kept urging, but at this moment, a craftsman said: "Director, the number of people who came to hear from your husband is at least five thousand. We are not professional soldiers. Once the first wave of offensive is over, we will not be able to defeat them."
Take it down, wait for them to rush forward, and it will be over."
Hearing this, Wang Qiong suddenly fell into deep thought. The power of the flintlock gun was indeed limited. If he had known it earlier, he would have just placed a dozen tiger squatting cannons outside the city to make these people unable to come back. But right now
…
But then the craftsman said: "Didn't we come up with a lot of new things recently? Let's use them."
"That's right! Hurry up and ask them to bring over all the recently made armor-piercing bullets. If you have this thing, it can be done!"
Armor-breaking bullets were an idea that Chen Mu casually mentioned to him before.
Use a relatively sealed object to drill black powder into it, and then fill it with razor blades, iron fragments and other sharp objects. Once it explodes, it will be like inside a TV, where the objects explode and fly away, and people around you will not survive.
This is the latest research result of the Bureau of Artifacts. Compared with the Crouching Tiger Cannon, it is less lethal, but it is more convenient. You only need to light it and throw it away.
Soon, two thousand people ran out one after another, all with a bomb hanging on their waist. This was the last resort for defeating more with less.
After saying that, Wang Qiong led everyone to the city gate to resist.
Shu County is not very good at city construction and defense. When Chen Mu first decided to take the city on vacation, he felt that if all the enemy troops came to Shu County City, what would be left to defend?
But he didn't expect that the Longxia court would take advantage of him to go out and suddenly send troops to attack him.
At this time, Wang Qiong and Liu Jingtang led more than 2,000 people to Shujun City, and everyone was waiting with a musket in their hands.
There is no light on the city tower, so it is definitely best to use the trick now. Once Long Xia's army arrives at the city, thousands of armor-piercing shells from their side will be thrown down, and then two thousand flintlock rifles will be thrown down.
Shooting in unison.
With advanced weapons in hand, Wang Qiong is absolutely sure to beat the crap out of these thousands of invading enemies.
And at this moment, as expected, figures in the distance began to move towards this side.
Wang Qiong said in a deep voice: "Everyone listen to my command."
Thousands of people came here at night. If Liu Jingtang hadn't discovered it early, these people would have been in trouble once they entered the city.
Wang Qiong stared at these people closely until they were less than twenty or thirty steps away from the city wall. Wang Qiong suddenly stood up, lit the armor-piercing bullet in his hand and threw it downwards.
The remaining two thousand people also agreed and dropped the ignited armor-piercing bombs one after another.
When the people in the city saw that they had been discovered, they were shocked at first, but the noise was soon covered up by the explosion.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Thousands of armor-piercing bullets were lost at once, and the city was already a sea of flames. These Long Xia soldiers who came for a sneak attack never expected how they would be discovered after coming so secretly.
Only the first wave of attacks directly killed half of the opponent's troops, but Wang Qiong did not want to show mercy, and immediately commanded again: "Load the flintlocks, leave no one behind!"
