Chapter 140 Surprise Attack "No. 3 bomb, No. 3 bomb, you don't know the words, and you don't know the red cross on it."
Under the city wall, the second son of the Huang family ran around like a madman behind the six bronze cannons, constantly making hoarse sounds.
He scolded, "No. 4 gun, fire No. 4 gun quickly.
If you can't do it, I can't do it.
I'll replace you next time."
"No. 5, No. 5, it's your turn soon.
Straighten the muzzle of the cannon and hit it as hard as you can into the enemy building."
"No. 6, No. 6, don't be so anxious.
Sixty breaths take one breath.
This is a rule and sixty breaths is enough.
Grandma, why are you breathing so fast?
Slow down, follow me, take a deep breath, yes, like this, that's it. , remember that it will be your turn only after opening ten breaths on the 5th.”
"Auxiliary soldier, auxiliary soldier.
Damn it, put the wooden poles on the river bank for me.
Make a show of building a bridge.
If you don't know how to build a bridge, you can't knock it around with a hammer.
You have to pretend to lie.
It has to be a little bit similar.”
"Whoever has a grenade?
Whoever has a grenade, please give me some warning.
Come out and stand by the river.
Light the grenade and throw it towards the city gate.
I don't care if you use a rope or a bamboo pole.
You have to throw it to the other side anyway, right?"
I don’t have enough guns here to let you blow up the door, so I have to use your random weapons to make up for it.”
The gunners, auxiliary soldiers, and the grenadiers responsible for protecting the artillery were rushed around by him, but the cooperation between them was obviously much smoother.
Ten breaths sent a cannonball, and two or three breaths sent a wave of grenades, blowing up and down the East City Gate into yellow smoke, as if falling from the human world into the Abi Hell.
The smoke-producing shells were originally developed by Huang Laowai based on his experience in the last battle with the Asu Army, specifically to deal with war horses.
In addition to containing many grape-sized lead pieces, it also drew on the advantages of the "poison smoke balls" of this era, and specially added arsenic, grassroots, croton, wolfsbane, dogwood, pepper and other substances.
Although the lethality is far less than that of ordinary explosive bullets, the irritation to the nostrils has been reached to the extreme.
Note 1 But no one expected that when this thing was put into actual combat for the first time, it was not used on cavalry, but was used by Huang Laoer to smoke people.
Six bronze cannons fired in turn at intervals of ten breaths.
The speed was not very fast, but every shelling pushed the defenders on top of the city a big step closer to despair.
From the people who escaped during the day, they had already heard about the power of the big guns in the hands of the Red Scarf Army, so they tried their best to hide their bodies behind the battlements to avoid being smashed into a ball of meat by the projectiles.
Unexpectedly, the projectile fired by Red Scarf this time was no longer a solid iron ball.
It is a kind of poisonous mine that no one can guarantee whether or when it will bloom after it lands.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't explode, but if it explodes, there will be thick smoke billowing out.
Even if the surrounding soldiers were not killed on the spot, they were still dizzy from the smoke, with snot and tears flowing out of their noses.
"Go up, go up and shoot arrows, shoot rockets down the city.
Don't let them cross the river," Deputy Wanhu Tiejin ordered with a hoarse voice, wielding his sword to chop down two soldiers who had escaped from the enemy tower.
Even though he was standing at the connection between the city wall and the horse path, his eyes were blackened by the poisonous smoke, and his mind was far less flexible than during the day.
"I'll push you all up.
Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy."
"Sir, the watch tower, you can't stand in the watch tower at all, you can't stand, wow."
Captain Liu Hulu, who just ran to the iron gold sword, laid his head on the brick wall on both sides of the horse road, vomiting loudly, " If, if you force the brothers to go in, wow, dig in, no, no need to kill him, they will all be smoked to death."

"Hu, you are talking nonsense, how can this little smoke kill someone?"
Deputy Wanhu Tiejin pointed the tip of his knife at the back of Captain Liu Hulu's head and threatened loudly, "You, you can't get up, don't blame me if you don't get up." , wow wow” Halfway through his words, he lay on the brick wall and vomited.
Snot and tears flowed down his cheeks in clusters.
"General, general, I can't stand it anymore, I really can't stand it."
Baolige, the Mongolian captain, also ran down, his beard covered with white spit.
"The red scarf thief put heartbroken grass in the fire thunder.
If it smokes for a long time, even if no one is killed, the brother will not be able to hold a knife."
"General, general, quickly raise the fire and ask for help from Lord Daruhuachi.
Everyone, everyone can't stand it anymore."
On the horse road on the other side of the enemy tower, Zheng Wannian, the leader of Huai'an City, also ran down in a pee, and behind him Dozens of yellow-faced local warriors were also followed, "The red scarf thieves, the red scarf thieves have begun to build bridges.
If we don't call for help, the east gate will definitely be the first to be breached."
"Nonsense, I didn't even see the shadow of the red scarf thief, how could I ask for help?"
Deputy Wanhu Tiejin grabbed his cloak and wiped the snot and tears from his face, responding angrily.
"Even if a bridge is built, they will not be able to climb up the three-foot-high city wall for a while."
As if specifically to lose face for him, there was a muffled sound at the east gate of Huai'an City, and it was smashed to pieces.
Immediately afterwards, an explosion sounded in the doorway, and thick smoke spurted in along the crack in the door.
"They are breaking down the door.
They are breaking down the door with big guns."
The defenders who had retreated to the side wall of Wengcheng started shouting at the top of their lungs.
Some immediately ran to the connection between the city gate and the horse path, preparing to go down to reinforce the city gate.
Some stared with desperate eyes, dumbfounded and at a loss.
"Kill, rush into Huai'an City, and those who are captured alive will be teased."
"Kill him, tease him if he is captured alive, and sell him to the Tatar emperor."
"Kill, break Huai'an City, and tease those who are captured alive."
Earth-shattering shouts of killing came from across the city gate.
There are also the "bang bang" sounds of hammers hitting wood and the messy and noisy footsteps.
"Boom!"
Another poison bomb exploded in the watch tower, sending yellow smoke billowing and blue flames jumping around the pillars.
Even the most daring people don't have the courage to persist in the enemy tower.
With snot and tears all over his face, he rolled and crawled out of the house and lay on the edge of the road, breathing heavily.
Deputy Wanhu Tiejin had just lost a battle during the day, and he was still feeling undecided.
I spent half the night squatting in the watchtower, exhausted.
After being exposed to the poisonous smoke and being frightened by the shouts of killing, no matter how old you are in the army, you can no longer maintain your composure.
Hearing the muffled thunder outside the door getting more and more urgent, he gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, "Come here, ride on my horse.
Ride on my horse to ask for help from Lord Daruhuachi.
The thief is about to go to the east gate."
Came in through the east gate."
"Yes."
Several messengers on standby under the city wall immediately jumped on their horses, whipped their mounts several times, and rushed towards the government office like lightning.
Seeing panic-stricken soldiers and civilians along the way, they all drove them towards the east gate without hesitation, "Quick, go to support the east gate.
The east gate is tight.
If you don't want the red scarf thieves to come in and loot your home, go quickly.
Tie Mr.
Jin will never forget you.”
Those Minzhuang who helped with the night watch were all servants of several large salt merchants.

They had never seen such a scene before.
Hearing what Tie Jin's soldiers said, they were so anxious that they didn't even think about it.
They immediately surrounded each other and ran towards the east gate.
While running, he didn't forget to call for more people to help, "East Gate, the red scarf thieves are attacking the East Gate."
"East Gate, the Red Scarf Army used palm thunder to blow up the door."
"The east gate, the Red Scarf Army used palm thunder to blow open the east gate.
Hurry, get over quickly.
If you don't get through, it will be too late."
At that time, most of the soldiers and civilians in Huai'an City knew that the east gate was in danger.
Anyone who could get away was led by their respective centurions and swarmed towards the east gate to kill them.
By the time Tiejin sent his own soldiers to call for help and arrived at the government office, the danger had been artificially magnified more than ten times.
It turned out that the east gate was broken, and the enemy and we were fighting to the death in Wengcheng.
Daruhua Chizhe Doudao has been ignored by Chu Buha for a long time, and he can't even remember the names of the Mongolian and Han generals under his command.
At the critical moment, how could it be possible to distinguish the authenticity of the danger?
When he saw Tie Jin's cronies coming to rescue the soldiers, he immediately panicked.
He didn't even dare to ask in detail, so he grabbed the command arrow on the table and sent it down without hesitation, "Shu Chi, you take my soldiers to the east gate immediately and hold it for me.
No matter what, you hold it against the other gates."
People are coming to support.
Hashim, go to Ximen and call for help.
When half of the soldiers and horses come down, go to the east gate immediately.
Brother Xing, Nasuradin, you two go to the south gate and the north gate, and let them divide half of the troops to support Tiejin.
All of them will wear armor for me today.
I will take you with me to live and die with Huai'an."
Although he doesn't know how to fight, as a city's Daruhuachi, he still has some bloody courage in him.
When all the officers and soldiers saw the stern tone of his last words, their hearts trembled.
No one dared to talk nonsense anymore, and they all agreed to carry out the order.
Because the treasury in Huai'an City is full, the streets in the city are very neatly built.
The soldiers who delivered the order galloped wildly, and soon sent the order from Zhe Tiao Tiao to several other city gates.
The general in charge of city defense was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot when he heard the continuous thunder at the east gate and the earth-shattering shouts of killing.
At this moment, after receiving the general order from Daru Huachi, how could he not delay any longer?
He immediately divided his soldiers, who were not very rich, into two, picked up the best among them, and sent his confidants to run towards the east gate with them.
The watchtower at the east gate had already been burned into an extra-large torch.
The golden flames danced up and down wrapped in thick smoke, and could be clearly seen dozens of miles away.
The general in charge of guarding the north gate, Hailudin, was a cautious man.
He heard the shouts of killing at the east gate for more than half an hour, but there was no sign of weakening or intensifying.
The muffled thunder was also continuous from beginning to end.
Suspicion gradually arose in his heart, and he turned around and asked his confidant Zhao Xiucai: "We also have that muzzleloader on the city wall, but if we don't fill it with enough medicine, we keep hitting half of it like this."
It's already time to explode.
Why are the gunshots outside the east gate ringing endlessly tonight?"
"Dong Weng doesn't know something."
Zhao Xiucai immediately shook his feather fan and explained with a shake of his head, "Zhu Bayi was said to be born on the first day of August, with a fire head and a golden life, but his surname is Zhu.
The cinnabar is the best for fire luck.
This gun is made of pure copper. , it is filled with gunpowder, both gold and fire, so if it falls into the hands of others, it must be stopped after seven or eight times, otherwise it will explode in the hands of Zhu.
It will multiply and the blunderbuss tube will become particularly strong.”
"Then according to what you say, Huai'an City is in danger this time."

Hairudin was confused and continued to ask with a frown.
"No, no."
Zhao Xiucai continued to shake his feather fan gently, as cool as Zhuge Liang and as mysterious as the buds of purple ginger, "Our city of Huai'an, the name itself carries three points of moisture.
Huai'an, Huai'an, if there is water, it will be safe.
And if there is water, it will be safe.
This city is surrounded by water on all sides.
Even though Zhu Ba11 is cinnabar, fire-headed gold, if it encounters the water in Huai'an, I'm afraid it will be defeated this time."
"Really" Hairudin was overjoyed when he heard this, his eyebrows jumping up and down.
"It's absolutely true.
I don't dare to brag about anything else.
This astronomy, geography, Yin and Yang gossip, has been immersed in it for more than ten years.
If you can't even calculate this, General," Just as the wind was blowing to the sky, he discovered that Hailudin was looking directly behind him, and his legs and hands were shaking like crazy.
Turning around suddenly, I saw a row of evil spirits exuding a stinking odor rushing straight up the horse path.
Wherever they passed, all those who blocked the road were cut in half.
Note: There are some things that need to be dealt with, so there will only be one update today and tomorrow, both in the evening.
