Chapter 66: A hard fight "I am Chen Youliang, I am Chen Youliang," the arrogant laughter kept coming out of the gaps between the explosions, as tenacious as weeds in spring.
"Crazy" Taishi Zou Pusheng spat out bloody saliva and staggered off the horse path.
"I am Chen Youliang, I am Chen Youliang.
When you are an official, you should be Chen Youliang.
When you have children, you should be Chen Youliang."
Chen Youliang continued to shout while throwing grenades outside the city.
His pale face was filled with rebelliousness.
He is Chen Youliang, Jinwu General Chen Youliang.
I think back then, Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, started from this position and gradually moved towards the glory of life.
To be an official, one should be Zhi Jinwu, and to marry a wife, one should marry Yin Lihua.
Although Mr.
Chen came from a humble background, his ambition was no less than that of the heroes of ancient times.
Note 1 "Madman" Zhang Hongsheng of the Qianhu of the Royal Forest Army poked half of his head out of the doorway and gnashed his teeth.
If it were normal, if he heard these shouts, he would rush up and ask Chen Youliang what crime he deserved.
But now, he just wants to stand up, stand with that madman, and die together.
"It's his grandma's fault.
I've been unlucky for eight lifetimes."
Zhang Ding cursed and waved his steel knife to block left and right.
He tried his best to push the sparking medicine arrows away from the city.
At the same time, he used his body to firmly block the arrows.
Chen Youliang stood behind him.
"Don't worry about your aim, just go to where there are many people to greet you."
Captain Zhang Bixian also lit the grenade and threw it at the enemy's head while loudly reminding the surrounding robes to follow up.
"One life for another, I don't believe that Tatars are not afraid of death."
He has extremely strong arms, and with the advantage of his commanding height, almost every grenade can be thrown thirty steps away.
When it lands among the enemy, it will cause a howl of ghosts and wolves.
Seeing that the three most powerful men stood up and took the lead in the counterattack at the risk of being attacked by thousands of arrows, the other soldiers became more and more willing to sacrifice their lives, and fired the grenades with the fuses on them like hailstones, one after another towards the city.
Smashed outside.
"Boom boom boom" "boom boom boom" "boom boom boom" explosions came one after another.
The Meng Yuan officers and soldiers who were bending their bows and setting arrows outside the city did not expect that there are really people in this world who are not afraid of death.
Hundreds of them were killed in an instant.
The pieces of meat and body parts were flying everywhere.
The archers who were not affected by the explosion immediately slowed down their movements and backed away from the city wall.
Before they could stabilize their position, more thunderbolts fell from the sky, trailing scarlet firelight.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom."
In the gray dusk, the firelight emitted by the thunderous explosion looked particularly brilliant.
Countless Mongolian archers were sent into the sky, and countless Ni family soldiers screamed and fled with their heads in their hands.
However, more Meng Yuan officers and soldiers rushed forward, chopped down those who fled in panic, and then continued to raise their strong bows and crossbows.
The poisoned feather arrows and the lit gunpowder arrows were sent to the top of the city in waves again.
Another row of black feather arrows fell at different angles and fell behind the shield wall.
The two shield bearers fell down with injuries to the back of their necks.
More feather arrows and gunpowder arrows shot in through the gaps they exposed, cutting down several grenadiers with only leather armor like wheat.
"Go up, go up, armored guards, go to the front."
Centurion Yu Guang raised his shield high and moved forward against the rain of arrows.
The gleaming armor-piercing awl hit his lower abdomen, thighs and other places, making a jingling sound.

"Whoosh!"
A gunpowder arrow flew towards him with a scarlet trail.
Commander Ou Puxiang rushed forward and struck fiercely with his sword.
The gunpowder arrows swirled in mid-air, flew back, and exploded with a loud bang.
"Bang" iron sand and highly toxic substances mixed with gunpowder flew up one after another and fell on the head of the Ni family army who was setting up a ladder under the city wall, scaring the enemy so much that they ran away with their heads in their hands.
"Go up, Iron Guard, go to the front.
The armor-piercing cone cannot break Huai'an armor.
Just pay attention to the rockets."
Yu Guang quickly summed up his experience and used all his strength to share his experience with the brothers around him.
"The armor-breaking awl, the Tatar's armor-breaking awl doesn't work, it doesn't work."
Not far away, someone echoed loudly, his tone full of incredible surprise.
The plate armor purchased from Huai'an with a large sum of money has unparalleled protection in the world.
It can block most of the arrows from a distance of twenty steps.
This is news that has been widely circulated for a long time.
But hearing about it and seeing it with your own eyes are different after all.
After discovering that the arrows coated with poison could not harm the Huai'an armor at all, the morale of the armored guards was greatly boosted.
Quickly spread out along the city wall, replacing the unarmored ones at the front of the team, and use their bodies and shields to build a second line of defense for the robes.
Taishi Zou Pusheng led a group of imperial guardsmen to run up along the horse track, and put down baskets of grenades in groups of two.
These grenades were made by craftsmen from the Tianwan Empire, and were slightly less powerful than the grenades sold by the Huai'an Army.
But the advantage is that the cost is low, and it can be supplied in large quantities, so there is no need to worry about shortages.
Chen Youliang and others turned around and grabbed the grenades, lit the fuses with moxa velvet, and threw them one by one out of the city.
The speed is far faster than the four-pound cannon.
The Meng Yuan soldiers who were bending their bows and setting up arrows were knocked down in rows and had to retreat in panic.
However, soon, a new wave of soldiers swarmed under the city wall and poured a new round of rain of death on the city.
"Boom" a four-pound cannon that was pushed less than fifty steps below the city suddenly became powerful.
A solid cast iron projectile was sent roaring to the top of the city.
"Pop!"
The shield hit by the projectile was torn apart.
However, the iron bullet retained its power and used its inertia to hit the chest of the shield holder again.
The Huaian plate armor with excellent performance was smashed into a deep pit.
The shield holder didn't even have time to grunt before he was pushed backwards by the projectile.
Blood and broken internal organs spurted out from his open mouth.
"Boom!"
Another four-pound cannon was pushed forward and fired towards the city.
The black bullets passed over the heads of Chen Youliang and others, smashing the enemy tower behind them into pieces and flying everywhere.
"Kill it, kill it quickly" someone shouted behind Chen Youliang, but couldn't think of any countermeasures.
The sudden "civil strife" on the city had killed most of the gunners.
The artillery placed on the top of the city was either blown up by the rebels, or was unmanned and ineffective.
"Bed crossbow, there is a bed crossbow over there."
Grand Master Zou Pusheng jumped on his horn and shouted.
The steel knife pointed at an ancient city-defending weapon on the horse's face.
A small group of guardsmen held their shields high and quickly ran towards the crossbows on the horses' faces.
This ancient weapon was extremely powerful, but it was born at the wrong time.
After the emergence of the six-pound cannon and the four-pound cannon, it was declared obsolete before it could be put into use.
The Mongolian soldiers outside the city quickly discovered the moving target on top of the city, adjusted their direction, and arrows fell like rain.

More than half of the Royal Forest Army soldiers who tried to operate the bed crossbow were killed before they even got close to the target.
But the remaining four people still charged forward with their shields and crossbows.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Someone risked his life and opened fire in the enemy tower, using a four-pound cannon to attract the attention of most of the archers.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom," gunpowder arrows and artillery shells were alternately shot into the enemy tower from the bottom of the city, and exploded one after another, blowing the enemy tower to the point of collapse.
"Cover their backs, armored guards, protect their backs for me," Chen Youliang commanded loudly with red eyes.
Six warriors wearing heavy armor stood in a row along the city wall, using their bodies and giant shields to block most of the arrows flying towards the imperial guards.
"Boom" a solid bullet flew, sending an armored guard into the sky together with the shield in his hand, and torn into pieces.
The remaining five armored guards gathered their formation, blocked the gap left by the deceased, and continued to protect Pao Ze's back.
The four Royal Forest Army officers took advantage of the opportunity that their robes had given their lives to approach Fuzi Crossbow.
Someone quickly hung a dozen grenades on the crossbow pole, and another person lit the fuse with moxa velvet.
Countless feather arrows flew over and turned the two of them into hedgehogs.
The remaining two warriors each raised their shields to protect their robes.
The other one threw his body on the crossbow, and tried his best to press down the angle of the giant crossbow.
"Pa" The warrior holding the shield used his foot instead of the firing hammer and kicked the trigger.
The huge crossbow arrows flew into the sky and took the warriors on the crossbow out of the city.
A dozen grenades, together with the crossbow rod, flew more than three feet away and plunged into the artillery cart.
"Boom" red light shot out, and black smoke and dust rose up.
The Yuan troops within two feet of the explosion point fell to the ground one after another as if they had been cut by a huge sickle.
Further away, the archers screamed and retreated like a tide.
"Blow the trumpet and continue to mobilize people to the city."
Chen Youliang spat out dark red blood and issued the order through gritted teeth.
"There's no one left, Third Brother, there's really no one left who dares to come up, all of them have come up," Zhang Dingbian reminded in a hoarse voice, angrily.
"You can do it if you are told.
I don't believe it.
There are only a few men in the Tianwan Empire."
Chen Youliang couldn't listen to his advice at all and continued to repeat it loudly.
"Woo woo, woo woo, woo woo, woo woo" the exciting horn sounded, quickly spreading the unyielding will throughout the city.
Several fire gunmen who were squatting at the base of the city wall and shivering were stunned and looked up hesitantly.
Immediately, he let out a shout and staggered towards the horse path.
Several grenadiers placed moxa on the houses destroyed by the shells and set them on fire.
Then he strode towards the crowd.
Several gunners crawled out from the collapsed enemy tower, closed the senior's eyes, and straightened the four-pound cannon and six-pound cannon from the pool of blood.
Zhang Hongsheng, a member of the imperial army, emerged from the streets and alleys with six to seven hundred remaining soldiers who had just gathered up, and rushed towards the city along the horse road.
The new shield bearer stepped over the corpse of his predecessor and erected the last line of defense on top of his own robe.
The new blunderbussman pulled out the fired and unfired blunderbuss tubes from the arrow stack, stuffed the blunderbuss behind himself, leaned out of the city, pointed it at the enemy, and then lit the fuse.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom," the sound of artillery and gunfire was like thunder.
"Woo woo, woo woo, woo woo, woo woo" the sound of the horn is like a dragon's roar, piercing the clouds and cracking the rocks.
Note 1: To be an official, one should marry Jinwu, and to marry a wife, one should marry Yin Lihua.
It is said in unofficial history that this was the ambition of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, when he was a boy.
Later, he did become Zhi Jinwu and took Yin Lihua as his wife.
Later, he became the king of ZTE in the Han Dynasty
