Qin Ming and Huang Xin were finally invited by Xiao Tang to stay temporarily in Erlong Mountain Dazhai. Qin Ming was still unwilling to accept Xiao Tang's bet, but there was a hint of hesitation in his eyebrows, and he looked at Xiao Tang.
There was more awe in Tang's eyes.
And Xiao Tang still planned to cut off Qin Ming's desire to continue serving in front of Murong Yanda's tent. Although this method was not fair and honest, it could teach Xiao Tang not to miss this thunderbolt fire that fought bravely, and
Zhensanshan Huang Xin, who also had martial arts skills, and Song Jiang did not flee to Qingzhou to avoid being arrested by the government so that Xiao Tang could intercept him, so Xiao Tang could only use some extraordinary means to earn money from Qin Ming and Huang
Xin joins the team.
It is also a plot in the four famous novels. In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhou Yu, a group of heroes, let Cao Cao and Jiang Qian fall into the trap, causing Cao Cao to order the execution of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, who were good at water warfare. Cao Cao also faced off against the allied forces of Ma Chao and Han Sui.
At that time, Ma Chao and Han Sui turned against each other with a counter-intuitive move, but few people would scold Zhou Yu just because of this. Cao Cao and others were despicable, because when the various forces competed, they would use various intrigues and intrigues.
It is extremely stupid to waste the enemy's strength and talk unrealistically about benevolent and gentlemanly behavior in troubled times.
The reason why some people scolded Song Jiang for his counter-intentional plan to gain money from Qin Ming was because he had other deeds that were even more criticized, and also because he had access to thieves in the green forest, causing Qin Ming, a court official, to kill his whole family. But Xiao Tang's actions
He has his own moral bottom line, but he also understands that if he only flaunts morality and righteousness when the storm is about to come, he will not be able to achieve great things.
At the same time, Yun Tianbiao, who was in the army camp, had just seen the sick Wei Chi Sun Li who was released by Xiao Tang to his own camp. Although he did not understand why the strong bandits in Erlong Mountain released Sun Li so easily but detained him instead.
Qin Ming and Huang Xin, who lived in the local military department in Qingzhou, knew very well that the group of strong thieves had long seen through Dong Ping's plan to lead a surprise cavalry to seize the pass, and he lost more than 500 horse troops on his side, but
But even the first dangerous barrier in front of Erlongshan Baozhu Temple has not been broken yet.
Yun Tianbiao encouraged Dong Ping and Sun Li again with a gloomy face, and ordered them to retreat and rest. He also understood that the strength of the officers and soldiers currently besieging Erlong Mountain has not yet reached the level that can suppress the Green Forest bandit army. This group of thieves is different.
Compared to the ordinary green forest and grass bandits, if they continue to wear out, they may not be able to defeat the two mountain bandits in a field battle. Now it is no longer appropriate to act rashly. We can only wait for the siege equipment to be ready before making plans to attack the key points.
After another five or six days, the troops of the Sixth Battalion of Yizhou finally rushed to the foot of Erlong Mountain under the command of the military supervisor Huang Kui to join the officers and soldiers from various states under the command of Yun Tianbiao. Yun Tianbiao immediately ordered Huang Kui to lead his leaders at the pass.
Place catapults in front and fire cannons to bombard the mountain.
Xiao Tang had to report the leader who was guarding the pass, so he led a group of Erlongshan leaders to the city wall to watch the movements of the officers and soldiers. They saw a dozen crossbows lying across the pass in front of the pass, and the sergeant tied a thick rope with hooks at both ends.
One end is hooked on the crossbow string, and the other end is hooked on the winch shaft, and seven military men work together to twist the winch, open the crossbow string and buckle it on the machine teeth, while the crossbowman who is responsible for loading arrows has good morning and ready the crossbow arrows.
We have to aim in the direction of Xiao Tang...
In front of the row of crossbows, there are dozens of square gun mounts composed of four legs. The sergeants in front of the dangerous pass are busy installing the gun tips. In addition, some four-wheelers with tip axes on them are pushed forward.
, lined up one after another in front of the dangerous pass. After the installation is completed, I am afraid that the ballistae will be fired to bombard the dangerous pass city wall!
Xiao Tang couldn't help but sneered when he saw it: "I want to attack the city with catapults and cannons, and then use bed crossbows to scare the soldiers guarding the gate. Haha... Those guys really put on a big show!"
Behind Shi Jin, Chen Da and Yang Chun were just ordinary green forest strongmen. How had they ever seen such a scene? Among them, Yang Chun frowned and said: "Look at the powerful artillery of the ballista. How about our pass wall?"
Can you withstand it?"
Li Zhi, the repairman who was responsible for repairing the dangerous defenses in front of Erlong Mountain, smiled slightly and said: "The walls built by my brother are mainly flat-headed walls. Compared with the female walls, they are more resistant to stone bombs, and the city walls are also equipped with
Fences and wooden palisades are used for protection...but the army's slinging artillery may not have a chance of hitting our checkpoint."
At this time, a man stood up from among the leaders of Erlong Mountain. Hongtian Leiling raised his hands and put up a canopy, looking at the catapult carts launched in front of the army formation. He only looked at it for a moment, and then said slowly
: "Oh, it turns out they are double-bow crossbows, sleeping carriage cannons, and five-shooter cannons. Brothers, don't panic. If you want to hit us, the distance is still far away."...
On the side of the official and army camp, Huang Kui, the commander of Yizhou's army and horses, was holding a very heavy mountain-breaking ax and was seriously ordering his subordinates to quickly place the stone-throwing artillery equipment.
Taking a look at the dangerous pass, he saw that there were no heavy-duty defense equipment on the wall of the pass guarded by the group of thieves, and Huang Kui revealed a sinister smile again.
I heard that Qin Ming and Huang Xin of the Qingzhou Command were captured by these strong thieves. Dong Ping of Yunzhou and Sun Li of Dengzhou were also defeated, but those guys were useless! With these bed crossbows
Artillery, and with my martial arts skills, it is not difficult to conquer this level!
Originally, when the imperial court suppressed the green forest and grass bandits, they rarely used such siege weapons. However, I also heard that the officers and soldiers who went to suppress the Fangzhou bandits on the southwestern road of Beijing fired artillery to attack the mountain, which made the Fangshan bandits cry and howl.
, The dead souls are terrified! Now, I, Huang Kui, come with a ballista to conquer this Erlongshan strongman. Once I take the lead, I will be promoted to the command and control of a party. Isn't it a sure thing?
Huang Kuiwu was thinking to himself, and suddenly another strong general rode straight towards him. When Huang Kui saw that the man was Li Feibao, the training envoy of Yizhou Xi'an Battalion who went to Qingzhou with him to suppress the bandits, Huang Kui smiled and said
: "Li Tuanlian, when he launched artillery bombardment at the pass, the army covered up the group of strong men and took out the first pass. I want to compete for the credit of being the first to get to the pass, but you don't want to compete with me!"
Li Feibao glanced at Huang Kui and said coldly: "I and other officials and generals in the imperial court are all loyal to the country and fulfill our responsibilities to hunt down thieves and suppress bandits. Who can bother to compete with you for any credit!"
After hearing this, Huang Kui's face darkened, he snorted heavily, and ignored Li Feibao. When Yun Tianbiao, the commander-in-chief of the various state army officers and soldiers, saw that all kinds of crossbows and artillery equipment were basically ready, he also gave orders decisively, ordering all the generals to do so.
The officer led his team to line up behind the bed crossbow, waiting for the stone bullets fired from the catapults to collapse the dangerous barrier, and then prepared to take advantage of the situation to attack the barrier, use the flying ladder to climb to the top of the wall, and seize this seemingly dangerous barrier in front of him!
"Okay! It's time to break through the barrier and kill the thief!"
Huang Kui was in high spirits. He held the mountain-cutting ax and shouted again, but at this moment he seemed to vaguely hear a soft sound of "teng" coming from the other side of the dangerous pass of Erlong Mountain, and a stone bullet shaped like a clay pot was thrown
It shot straight out from the other end of the city wall, drew an arc in the air, and hit Huang Kui and Li Feibao directly!
Why do thieves also have slinging equipment? Why can they shoot so far!?
In panic, Huang Kui hurriedly rode his horse to avoid it, but when the cannonball was about to hit the ground, which was only about twenty steps away from Huang Kui, Huang Kui seemed to hear the "chichichi" sound when the fire was burning. sound......
No! This is not an ordinary stone bullet, but a cannonball containing gunpowder!!
Just when Huang Kuigang noticed it, the loud noise that could burst a person's eardrums suddenly sounded...
