"My lord, my lord. The people of Dongchang can actually block our boulder attack." The short and thin young man looked at the brave and brave captain of Dongchang at the foot of the mountain while running towards the top of the mountain.
"I saw it." A muffled shout rang in his ears.
The broom-head captain didn't know when he had left the wooden bed, standing on the top of the mountain and condescendingly watching the battle below.
Compared with the soldiers of Songmen Guards, Dongchang's combat effectiveness was more than two blocks behind them.
Although there are not many in number, if they are allowed to break the rocks like this, the number of casualties suffered by the Songmen Guards will be greatly reduced, which is not a good thing for his Seventh Brigade.
"Prepare the firecrackers." The broom head thought for a moment and said in an angry voice.
"Captain, didn't you save this firecracker until the end and use it when they come up?" the short and thin young man couldn't help but ask.
"Who is the captain?" The broom head stared.
"You are, you are." The short and thin young man said with a grin.
"Then why don't you prepare the firecrackers and wait for them to rush up?"
"Yes, yes, I will go and deliver the order right away." The short and thin young man ran away in a hurry.
After a while, three to four hundred "Japanese pirates" armed with firecrackers were gathered.
The short and thin young man ran back again: "Captain, these Ming rebels who are skilled in using firecrackers have been assembled."
"Yes." The broom head nodded with satisfaction, and with his big belly that couldn't see his toes, he came in front of everyone.
"The people below who are still vigorous and vigorous under the attack of stones are the people from your Daming East Editing Factory. Once they charge up, I dare not say that I can stop them. And if the Seventh Brigade is defeated, you will definitely fall.
In their hands, unlike us, you are not only faced with death, but also with the discovery of your life experience and the implication of the nine tribes."
Looking at the group of Ming soldiers who had changed into Japanese pirate clothes, the broom leader said slowly with a hint of contempt in his eyes.
Hearing that the people below were from Dongchang, these three to four hundred soldiers already had an ominous premonition in their hearts.
They have heard of Dongchang's name.
They have long heard about Dongchang's ability to do things.
However, Dongchang was only dealing with the investigation and prosecution of court officials, so how could it take care of the "noisy affairs" of the Japanese pirates along the coast?
If he had known that Dongchang would come to suppress the bandits, he would not have left Songmen Guards for a few taels of silver and followed the Japanese bandits to harass the people of the Ming Dynasty.
But now, what's the use of saying this?
Even if he wanted to escape, how could the damn fat man in front of him give him a chance at this juncture?
All of them lowered their heads, seeming very frustrated.
"I know that behind each of you, there is a family. Either you have a wife and children, or you have parents, or you have a wife, children and parents. Since you have chosen to make a lot of money with the Seventh Brigade, you have to take risks.
Prepare. I also know that you are actually ready to sacrifice yourselves."
Looking at the crowd, the broom head chuckled: "Now, there is only one way before you, which is to kill those Dongchang people and fly away with the Seventh Brigade. Of course, if you can repel Dongchang's attack,
Don’t worry about not having money to send home.”
"Repulse Dongchang." Someone shouted.
"Repulse Dongchang, repel Dongchang." Three to four hundred people shouted at the same time.
Xiao Chen, who was at the foot of the mountain, smashed a boulder with one punch and looked at the top of the mountain from a distance.
This deafening shout was clearly the words of the Ming Dynasty.
The people on the top of the mountain who are getting morale boosted must be the defecting soldiers of the Damingsong Gate Guards.
I have already seen gunpowder arrows.
Now they were shouting, and they must be preparing to attack with firecrackers.
Xiao Chen had already seen the power and speed of the fire gun when Huai Lai went hunting.
In particular, the fire cannon that was half a man tall was much more powerful than the hand cannon used by Shen Jiyu. The iron beads shot out could penetrate a tree trunk as thick as a bowl dozens of feet away.
No matter how brave the captain of Dongchang was, it was impossible to resist with the wooden shield in his hand.
These captains of the Shenji Army are all carefully selected elites from Dongchang, and they have been painstakingly trained by Liu Rufeng. They are the most capable team in Dongchang.
Even the loss of one captain would be a huge loss to Dongchang.
What's more, these are the brothers he gets along with day and night, and Xiao Chen doesn't want anyone to make any mistakes.
"Shen Ji, listen to the order and look for boulders or big trees to avoid. The Japanese pirates are about to attack with fire cannons." Xiao Chen shouted, raised his hand and pushed Duan Tianming behind a big tree.
On the top of the mountain, the broom leader was very satisfied with the shouts of these gun soldiers.
Pointing down with his big hand: "Hit me, hit me hard without being polite. Especially the man who looks very young and has high martial arts skills, I must beat him to death."
As he spoke, he heard Xiao Chen's order for everyone to hide.
Before he could get angry, he saw Xiao Chen pushing Duan Tianming behind the big tree again.
The broom head was furious: "This young man, everyone is aiming to hit him. Even if he hides, breaks the big tree where he is hiding with a fire blunderbuss, breaks the boulder into pieces, I will still kill him."
In an instant, three to four hundred firecrackers were aimed at Xiao Chen at the same time.
The gunpowder twister on the firegun was emitting white smoke "chichichichichi", and the black holes in the gun's mouth also swung back and forth as Xiao Chen dodged left and right.
"Hide quickly, you are their only target now." Duan Tianming, who was hiding behind the big tree, looked at the concentrated actions of the fire gun soldiers on the top of the mountain, and his anxious forehead was covered with beads of sweat.
Shouted loudly at Xiao Chen.
The other Dongchang captains who were hiding also grabbed fist-sized rocks in desperation and threw them to the top of the mountain, trying to distract the other party.
Tang Xing, the commander of the Songmen Guards on the beach, was also extremely anxious.
"The fire gun soldiers listened to the order and fired at the top of the mountain together." Tang Xing shouted.
"Master Commander, this place is too far from the top of the mountain and our fire cannons cannot hit it." The messenger whispered.
"I know I can't hit you. But if you can't hit me, just use your voice to disrupt their attention. Master Ziyi has now become the only target for hundreds of them. How can we just watch and be indifferent? If something happens to Master Ziyi, don't let it go.
Guards, the entire Zhejiang Province will suffer."
Looking at the tense situation on the top of the mountain, Tang Xing shouted loudly.
"Yes, I will give you the order now." The ordering soldier hurriedly retreated.
Before the fire cannon soldiers of the Songmen Guards had assembled, the fire cannons on the top of the mountain were already ringing one after another.
"Bang, bang, bang."
"Bang, bang, bang."
Three to four hundred firecrackers made a deafening crackling sound.
Iron beads whizzed towards Xiao Chen from the top of the mountain.
Not daring to jump up anymore, Xiao Chen rolled on the spot and hid behind a big tree surrounded by five or six people.
"Pah, pah, pah."
Those iron beads seemed to have eyes, and they hit the trunk of the big tree where Xiao Chen was hiding.
One hole, two holes, and not long after, the entire tree was beaten like a sieve, full of holes.
No longer able to support the huge crown, the tree swayed a few times and collapsed.
On the top of the mountain, the hundreds of firecrackers also began to fill the firecrackers with gunpowder.
Taking advantage of this moment, Xiao Chen looked at a boulder two feet away and rushed towards it with all his strength.
But after all, there were hundreds of people on the other side. Although they didn't have the wave of continuous attacks like Shenjiya did, there were still some people who didn't fire.
The moment Xiao Chen stood up, a firecracker was aimed at him.
"Bang." There was a loud noise, and the iron beads came towards Xiao Chen's thigh as if they had eyes.
Xiao Chen had already jumped into the air, and it was obviously too late to avoid him.
"Haha, Gongchang Mansion was attacked by gunpowder arrows, and Mr. Zhang took action at the last moment. I'm afraid I'm really going to lose on this island."
Looking at the iron beads getting closer and closer, Xiao Chen relaxed.
No matter how powerful he is, he is just a physical body, how can he always be invincible.
He was injured by two gunpowder arrows and fell into a coma for two days.
This time I was hit in the leg. Who knows how long it will take to rest and recover.
While he was thinking about it, Duan Tianming, who was very close at hand, suddenly jumped out from behind the big tree.
"Xiao Chen, be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, his whole body was already blocking the front of Xiao Chen's thigh.
