Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 532

"Thunderbolt!"

Shi Xiu slapped her thigh and exclaimed.

Then Tang Long became surprised: "Ah, Brother Shi Xiu is indeed worthy of being the brother of 'Wu Mengde', Duan is well-informed."

Shi Xiu laughed and said, "That's not bad. It was my brother who was drinking and chatting. He talked about the battle of Guandu. Yuan Shao's birds and men piled up a mountain of earth, and a building was built on the mountain. Archers stood on the upper floor and shot arrows. I built this thunderbolt car to deal with it, and the big rock made Yuan Jun cry for his father and mother. At that time, my brother Tieniu refused to believe it, saying that he couldn’t lift such a big rock, so what car could be stronger than him? My brother painted with wine After learning about the pattern and explaining it in detail, although it is not exactly similar to the thing you created, it still seems to have this old long arm."

The "old long arm" in his mouth is naturally the arm of throwing stones.

Tang Long praised: "That's right! There was indeed this guy in the Battle of Guandu. In fact, this thing had its embryonic form as early as the Spring and Autumn and Warring States. "The Art of War" also states, "The flying stone weighs twelve catties, and it is fired by the machine, and it can travel two hundred steps." The official name of this thing is called a cannon! In the "Wu Jing Zong Yao" of this dynasty, there are kinds There are only fourteen ways to make cannons, but my brother is not talented."

He said "Little brother is not talented", but his expression was not at all ashamed. The bridge of Dalu's nose was parallel to the sky, like a proud Avatar.

Shi Xiu listened to him citing the scriptures, eloquently, like a master craftsman, she couldn't help being surprised and delighted, looked up and down this "money leopard", and thought to herself: No wonder he has a strange appearance, so he is actually a strange man with unique skills!As the saying goes, if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools, but this man is of great use to my brother.

Turning to look at Yang Xiong, he said solemnly: "Brother, if the two of us die here today, I want to keep this brother alive! He is only a blacksmith in Jianghu, if he is with my brother, he can reach thousands of horses and thousands of troops!"

Although Yang Xiong didn't understand, he could see that Shi Xiu was not lying, so he nodded immediately: "That's all! But with Yang's breath, I will never let him lose a hair!"

Tang Long was also dumbfounded, he scratched his head in a daze, and more than ten hairs fell out.

He had been down and out for half his life, and he had never been valued so much by others. For a moment, he had mixed feelings. The two eyes that had been separated forever blinked, and they actually shed tears. Look good!"

Shi Xiu patted him on the arm and said: "Brother, don't underestimate yourself. It is not easy for a thousand-mile horse to be a famous general. If you meet a farmer, you can only plow the fields and pull carts. Brother Tang is a thousand-mile horse, my elder brother Wu, He is an unrivaled general!"

Tang Long held back his tears and nodded again and again. Although he had never met Lao Cao, he had the idea of ​​serving him to death.

Later generations have a poem, a single title Shi Xiu gathers Tang Long's section, it is said that——

Pride is always in the lapel, and righteousness is more important than gold.

The sound spreads across the lake and the sea, and the heroic wind fills the green forest.

A man admires his comrades, and a piano and sword are valuable to a bosom friend.

I haven't met the public face, and I have already given up my mind.

Yang Xiong saw that Shi Xiu spared no effort in recruiting talents for Lao Cao, and he couldn't help secretly admiring him: When he saw "Wu Mengde" in the past, he also felt that he was full of pride and demeanor. It's more than I expected, otherwise how could a hero like him be so determined?
For a moment, the heart of meritorious deeds became more and more intense, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Tang, don't piss the cat, you are a thunderbolt, how did you get it?"

Tang Long came back to his senses and explained: "Brother Rongbao, the Liao army's food and grass are all stored there, about a mile away from me, and out of the troops stationed in the rear camp, are guarding there! If I use swords to break in, I can't wait for three people and six hands. How much food can I burn when fighting? That's why I specially built this multi-shot cannon!"

He patted his masterpiece and said to himself: "Like this cannon, a stone weighing half a catty can be fired ten times at a time, and it can hit a mile away. Let's wait for the younger brother to find some sulfur and make it into fireballs. Hit him a few times." , The fire is self-contained."

Yang Xiong said happily: "If that's the case, my virtuous brother should make the first contribution! There is no need to look elsewhere, the two of us have brought sulfur and flame nitrate with us."

Tang Long took a look and found that they were all of good texture, so he cut bamboo into strips, weaved them into balls, stuffed them with straw, and then put sulfur and other things in them. For the rest, take ten first and put them one by one in the leather pocket——

It turned out that when he made the cannon, its force arm was divided into long and short ends, the long end was on the top, and the long wood was nailed horizontally. Ten leather pockets were tied in a row, and a few belts were tied to the short end. , the long head raised, and the things in the leather pocket were thrown high.

These cannons, also known as hand cannons, can be launched by two or three people. Because they cannot hit heavy objects, they are difficult to use to attack cities. They can only kill and wound skirmishers in front of the two armies.But the ammunition that Tang Long wanted to shoot was not heavy at all, and he fired the cannon in his own camp, so it didn't need to be far away, but it happened to be useful.

At that moment Tang Long adjusted the position of the cannon, set the direction of grain and grass in the distance, asked Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu to hold the belt, and said: "Brothers, if you say the word 'pull', you will use all your strength." Pull!"

Seeing his two nods, he used tongs to burn it bright red in the stove, lightly tapped on the ten fire bombs one by one, immediately lit the straw, and green smoke came out, and he said urgently: "Pull!"

Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu were already ready to go. Hearing his yelling, Dang pulled the belt with all his strength, and there was a loud bang on the lever. Relying on inertia, the fireball flew up into the sky flickeringly, and the approximate landing point was the place where the grain and grass were piled up.

Seeing that the aim was almost correct, Tang Long quickly called him: "Put it down, put it down, before he notices me, how many shots can you shoot?"

Several people loaded the bombs quickly, and ignited them as usual, and shouted "pull" again, and ten more fire bombs were fired.

These fireballs ignited the straw, flew in the air, and were urged by the wind, which immediately triggered the sulfur in the middle, which turned into fireballs after a sting, and one after another, the fireballs fluttered and fell towards the accumulation of grain and grass, although some were inevitably far away. Now, some are getting closer, but at least half of them are smashed on the grain and grass piles.

When Tang Long's fourth cannon was fired, there were many tents, but the blazing flames could not be covered.

The Liao soldiers woke up from their sleep and exclaimed, "It's on fire, it's on fire, it's on fire!"

A few clever ones rushed to save them, but more stupid and cute Liao soldiers knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to the dark sky, thinking that the "rain of fire" was a sign of heaven's wrath.

Not long after, the fire became more intense, and all the peasants in the back camp were awakened, running around and screaming, and the back camp was in chaos.

The three took the opportunity to fire continuously, but no one cared about them, allowing them to fire all the prepared shells.

Tang Long was still not satisfied, so he took more large and small pieces of iron, burned them dark red in the stove, put them in the leather pocket and fired them, and fired three or four times in a row until the leather pocket was scalded to rotten, before he stopped.

These pieces of iron are more powerful than fire bombs, probably due to their small size and lack of open flames, it is difficult to find them when they fall on the grain and grass. Before they knew it, many fires appeared out of thin air, and some fell on people's heads by mistake. , Even the head was beaten to pieces, and the Liao soldiers were so frightened that they shouted again and again: "Wonderful, just finished the fire, and started to put the iron again."

Yelu Zonglin was on duty tonight, and when he heard the chaos in the back camp, he thought the camp was roaring, and was so frightened that he hurriedly mobilized his troops to suppress it. Liao Bing knelt down, his nose was crooked, and he yelled, "Are you all blind? What fires and irons are obviously shot out by catapults..."

Because Song and Liao have been in peace for a long time, although Liao and Jin are fighting endlessly, they rarely climb up the technology tree. Therefore, except for Yelu Zonglin and other aristocratic children, most soldiers have never seen a catapult. Naturally, I couldn't imagine it for a while.

Yelu Zonglin, however, was well-informed and thought to himself that my grain and grass are stored in the inner camp, even if the Song army dispatched catapults, how could I get here?He looked around, pointed in Tang Long's direction and said: "Needless to say, the enemy is in my camp, follow me to capture them, and burn them alive to relieve my hatred!"

After saying that, he galloped his horse and rushed, slashing through the tents in front of him with a knife, and the peasants who blocked the road were knocked over and trampled to death, and went straight to where Shi Xiu and the others were.

The three of Tang Long finished firing the cannons and wanted to flee. Tang Long's blacksmiths abandoned all of them, and only carried an iron melon hammer in his hand, and picked up two polished iron spears for Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong, and the three of them went outside the camp. Chong, before he ran dozens of steps, he only heard the clanging of horseshoes behind him, Shi Xiu's heart moved, and he shouted: "You two go first, I will come later!"

Turning his footsteps, he shrank and hid by the side of a tent.

Yelu Zonglin's original plan was to suppress the "Ying Xiao", and it was night, and he only brought two or three thousand infantry. The camp was densely covered with tents, and they were driven down every mile. He was alone in front on horseback, and the infantry ran behind. In a mess, it was pulled into a long snake.

If it was a veteran, he would not be willing to take the risk alone, but since Yelu Zonglin believed that the enemy was in the camp, he naturally expected that the enemy's number would never be large. Seeing the cannon cart, he knew that his guess was correct, so he slashed it to pieces, and chased after him angrily. After a short while, he saw Yang Xiong and Tang Long's backs, and shouted: "Shameless rat, you dare to burn my food and grass! Save your life!"

When Yang Xiong heard it, he thought how could his two legs outrun his four legs?Thinking of Shi Xiu's entrustment, Tang Long was pushed violently: "Save your life, go to Cangzhou!"

Turn around by yourself, hold the spear, spit out the door, and wait quietly for him to attack.

Yelu Zonglin glanced at this person, he was the enemy who killed his elder brother and fourth younger brother, and he gritted his teeth: "Ah! There is no place to find if you have broken through the iron shoes, and it is easy to get here! Damn the traitor... ..."

Before the words were finished, Tang Long turned around, rushed back to Yang Xiong, put on the air of "King Kong ringing the bell", and shouted: "Live together, live together, die together die together!"

Yelu Zonglin said harshly: "A despicable villain who can only stab people in the back, what kind of hero are you here! You have the guts to plot against me again..."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Xiu jumped out from the slanting stab, and with a spear in his hand, he stabbed Yelu Zonglin in the waist, pushed him off the horse, and shouted: "I will do what I want, I dare not ask for it!"

Yelu Zonglin was still struggling, but Shi Xiu pulled out the spearhead, mended it again, and stabbed it straight into the throat, blood poured out like money, Yelu Zonglin trembled unwillingly, and died helplessly.

The book implies that Yelu Zonglin is good at martial arts. In the original time and space, he fought with Hu Yanzhuo, the five tiger generals of Liangshan, for a long time. requirements.

Therefore, the resentment is hard to overcome. After being reincarnated as a human being in the next life, he refuses to take up military duties, studies hard, and finally becomes a high school candidate. He is the famous and unrestrained barrister Fang Tangjing, who left his name in history with the sentence "Hit me, idiot!" — This is something to say later, press the button.

It is only said that Shi Xiu repeated his old trick, killed the Liao general by ambush, and first picked up his wrought iron broom knife. At this time, the pursuers had approached. Yang Xiong followed closely behind the rest of them, also poked seven or eight of them over, Tang Long didn't want to be resigned to his descendants, swung the iron melon hammer like the wind, and smashed three of the heads.

At this time, the fire in the back camp had already spread, and it was burning red for a long time. The peasants didn't know what to do, they ran wildly and screamed, and they all fled out of the stockade. The Liao soldiers were already in a panic. , Although there are many people, no one dares to step forward.

Shi Xiuben was waiting to escape with Yang Xiong, but now seeing the chaos in the Liao camp, the Liao soldiers were timid, and suddenly realized: Ah!Why should I run away?Now that the situation is good, they are clearly the ones who should escape!
Immediately shouted: "Hey! Wait for Liaogou to listen to the truth. Your Patriarch will be good at provoking frontiers. Our 50 soldiers and horses in the Song Dynasty have already been killed in all directions. If you run away for a while, you will be ghosts from other lands!"

The 50 soldiers and horses mentioned are still the old plan of Liangshan's gang!

After saying that, he slapped the horse, single-handedly, entered the Liao army, and the horse smashed into the knife, as if entering the land of no one!

This is a good kill, as evidenced by a poem, which says:
Desperately, Saburo is mad, and the long knife is rolling cold everywhere!
With a loud drink, all the people arrived, and the blood of the half-time hero is still cold.

A hundred battles are the first to conquer the world, and thousands of troops are easy and brave.

Under the city of Cangzhou, life and death are decided, the brave survive and the coward die.

Yang Xiong originally thought that he would charge forward a little bit and stop the enemy from pursuing him, so he wanted to retreat, who would have thought that this fellow is so courageous, looking at this posture, he intends to destroy thousands of troops with his own power!
All of a sudden, my eyes were about to burst, I felt a mouthful of heroic energy rushing up from my lower abdomen, filling my chest quickly, I couldn't help exhaling, and shouted loudly: "Brother Shi Xiu, don't kill them all, and keep half of them with me. Yang Xiong, kill him!"

Striding forward, an iron spear opened wide and closed, swiping horizontally and sweeping obliquely, killing the Liao soldiers like straws.

Seeing the two of them showing their power, Tang Long stared wide-eyed, stared blankly for a moment, suddenly laughed and said: "Quickly! Quickly! It turns out that I spent half my life studying martial arts for today!" He shouted loudly: "Brother Shi Xiu, Yang Xiong Brother, be a brother and die together, wait for me, Tang Long!"

After finishing speaking, he rushed into the crowd, held the sledgehammer in both hands, whirled and whirled, and the bones and souls disappeared wherever he passed!

When the three of them let go and killed, Yelv Dezhong was alarmed early on. Seeing the back camp burning into the sky, people shouting and horses neighing in chaos, he only thought that there were enemy troops attacking the camp from behind, so he hurriedly mobilized his soldiers and horses, and went to the back camp rescue.

As soon as the soldiers and horses moved here, the north gate of Cangzhou suddenly opened wide, and more than a thousand cavalry rushed out first. If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that there are only a hundred real horsemen, and the rest are big mules, big donkeys, and even those who plow the land. The old cow was ridden out by others, but it was Chai Jin who bought the whole city's cattle with a wave of his hand.

After the cavalry, the flames were like dragons, and the scale was no less than tens of thousands. The city wall was also lined with torches, at least tens of thousands of people guarded the wall.

Yelude turned his head to look again, and was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse: "Ah, so the Southern barbarians laid down such a large army in Cangzhou, isn't it just to plot against the king? Come on, those few who reported earlier said that there are not many soldiers in the city. Trash, catch and chop them all!"

There are different teachings: who said that Guan Suo is sick when he is brave?Fighting belongs to Yang Xiongqiang.The leopard is full of majesty, and the heroes are vying to worship Dalang!
