At this moment, Suo Wuhun, who went to eradicate the enemy's secret sentry, returned to the mountainside. He clasped his hands in his fists and said, "Sir, all the secret sentries fifty meters away from the residence of the man in black were eliminated by my subordinates and others."
Suo Wuhun is good at this. Although his martial arts is not as good as Suo Wuji, Yun Zhongfei and others, in these aspects he is unmatched.
"Well, Sir Suo, this is your first achievement." Xiao Qi praised.
After a while, Xiao Qi saw that Suo Wuji and others had recovered their physical strength, so he ordered: "There are more than ten houses about three hundred meters ahead. There are tents all around. After rushing up, Mr. Yun and Mr. Zhang led the imperial guards and Jin Yiwei. The two battalions of soldiers will rush forward and attack the tents of the men in black. If you encounter a master, your lords, the royal guards and other masters will form a formation to deal with it. Attack them in groups. Needless to say. What are the rules of the world? Remember, we are officers and soldiers. The men in black are traitors."
Everyone whispered: "Yes, sir."
Although Xiao Qi was a little nervous, his thinking was still clear: "Master Yun is responsible for arranging the use of throwing bombs."
Yun Zhongfei said: "Yes, sir."
Suo Wuji said: "Suo Wuhun. You bring ten Jinyi guards to stay to protect Mr. Wei and Mr. Yun. Leave three or five throwing bombs for them."
"Okay." Yun Zhongfei replied without thinking.
Suo Wuji, Yun Zhongfei, and Zhang Zijian took the lead. They led the Song army soldiers forward quietly. Fortunately, the secret sentry along the way had been eliminated by Suo Wuhun. Everyone easily arrived about five miles away from the mountain stronghold. Ten meters of land.
The men in black on the west mountain were much more vigilant. At a distance of fifty meters, the men in black's sentry post spotted the Song Army rushing up.
"Enemy attack." The sentry responded immediately. However, after the man in black who called the police discovered that an arrow appeared out of thin air in his chest, he immediately fell to the ground. On the ground.
The feathered arrows of the sharpshooter Zhang Zijian.
In the silent night, this "enemy attack" is enough to wake up the sleeping master.
Except for the eighth elder Pang Zeyao who rushed out of the camp, the other elders all walked out of the wooden houses in the village. They had the fastest reaction. The first nine people who appeared in front of the Song army were Fang Chenqian, the seventh elder and Yang Lianzhenjia.
Obtained from the introduction of the Suo brothers, Yun Zhongfei and others have a general understanding of the masters in the Tiandao League, including their appearance, martial arts methods, and weapons used. Of course, they do not know anything about Yang Lian Zhenjia.
"Charge." Yun Zhongfei and Suo Wuji looked at each other and ordered.
Yun Zhongfei issued two instructions while rushing forward. Fifty guards quietly opened the lead of the projectile while running. The other fifty guards also held the projectile in their hands. After rushing to When he was about seven meters away, Yun Zhongfei suddenly shouted: "Put it down. Lie down."
To release means to throw a projectile. To lie down means to make all charging soldiers lie down on the ground.
After the Suo brothers introduced the strength of the elders of the Tiandao Alliance, Yun Zhongfei knew that his side's masters were still inferior. With more people, he might be able to defeat the enemy in a head-on fight, but his side's losses would definitely not be huge. Xiao. Fang Chengan was the only one who could not compete with him, Zhang Zijian, Suo Wuji and others. Therefore, Yun Zhongfei, who was familiar with firearms, naturally made throwing bombs the core weapon of this battle.
Almost at the same time that Yun Zhongfei and others were lying down, fifty projectiles were thrown at the unprepared elders of the Tiandao Alliance.
Fang Chenqian, who had a fear of firearms, reacted very quickly. As soon as Yun Zhongfei shouted, he shouted like a reflex: "Lie down."
In the dense explosion of grenades, the best thing for Fang Chenqian and others is to spread out in all directions. With the skills of these people and the small number of people, there should be a considerable chance of avoiding the center of the explosion. From the anti-firearms Fang Chenqian gave the same order as Yun Zhongfei, which was to lie down. If there are a large number of soldiers, lying down on the ground is a relatively correct defense method. It can greatly reduce the casualty rate. But for a few people, it is the opposite. Not the best policy.
As fifty grenades exploded in a small area seven meters away, the sound was deafening. The grenade produced by the gunpowder supervisor was simply incomparable to the grenades of later generations. If it were just a grenade The explosion may be louder than an ordinary firecracker. But on this quiet night, fifty bombs exploded almost at the same time. Its power cannot be underestimated.
The shrapnel from the projectiles flew everywhere with the smell of death. Even the elders lying on the ground were hit by the fragments. Although they were not fatal, they were still in great pain. Coincidentally, there were seven or eight projectiles. It happened to explode on Kongming Toutuo's body. Although this Toutuo was rough-skinned and thick-bodied, he was also killed by the explosion of the thrown bomb. He didn't even have time to hum.
What made the Tiandao League and others even more panicked was that after the first round of grenades exploded, Fang Chenqian just raised his head and saw the second batch of fifty grenades flying over quickly.
Although Fang Chenqian's martial arts can be ranked on the list of Longhu Mountain, his momentum is exhausted now. How can he dare to fight head-on? He shouted "Go". Then he raised his body and grabbed Fang He beside him with his right hand. He fell down quickly. Fly out. In the blink of an eye, you are already more than ten steps away.
"Good kung fu." Suo Wuji praised secretly. No wonder the third master of the family can attend the Longhu Mountain gathering. With this light kung fu alone, he is not inferior to the boss.
This time, Fang Chenqian's approach was completely correct. However, the elders who were rattled by the first round of bombs reacted a little late. Except for Yang Lianzhenjia and the great elder Wang Shangyuan, the rest left in time. The second elder Fang Heping, the third elder Fang Heshan, and the seventh elder Shiliuxing were blown up by the second round of bombs on the spot and their bodies were separated. They died instantly.
At a critical moment of life and death, even a slight mistake can lead to fatal losses. Although Fang Chenqian's martial arts skills are high, his resilience in situations of life and death is still not as good as that of peerless masters such as Boss.
At close range, even Yuan Ji once said that there is no absolute certainty that one can avoid musket fire, let alone densely-thrown bombs.
Fang Chenqian didn't care to check the life or death of the other people. He took Fang He, Yang Liazhenjia and Wang Shangyuan and ran towards the back of the mountain stronghold as fast as possible.
Seeing this, Yun Zhongfei hurriedly gathered his energy to catch up. The speed was also very fast. However, he stopped after only about twenty steps. Yun Zhongfei knew clearly that his Qinggong was far inferior to the four people in front of him.
Suo Wuji stepped forward and inspected the blasted corpses. Since the four of them were face down, he could identify them as Kongming Toutuo and others.
At the same time, the soldiers of the Thirteenth and Sixteenth Battalions fought with the men in black who had just rushed out of the camp. The men in black resisted slightly. When they saw that their leader had fled, they had no intention of fighting. They fled to the north of the mountain stronghold. .
The eighth elder Pang Zeyao witnessed with his own eyes the throwing of bombs that killed Kong Ming and others. He also saw Fang Chenqian leaving alone without caring about the lives of the soldiers. He sighed secretly and took advantage of the night to go west. Pang Zeyao had profound attack skills. There were no masters in the Song army of the men in black, so they easily escaped from Xishan.
Under the attack of the Song army, the men in black were quickly defeated. They died and fled. In less than an hour, the battle came to an end.
"In front of firearms, martial arts, hey..." Suo Wuhun, who was watching the battle, said with deep emotion.
Xiaoqi saw that his side had won a great victory. He was in a good mood and said: "Master Suo, this is the power of technology."
"Best regards, my lord."
Xiao Qi didn't dare to take credit. He smiled and said, "That's not what I said. It was what the emperor said."
"Your Majesty, the Holy Ming, is indeed a god." Suo Wuhun praised sincerely.
After cleaning the battlefield, the sky has just brightened.
The generals came to Xiao Qi one after another. Suo Wuji said: "Sir, our army is completely victorious. In this battle, we killed the second elder Fang Heping, the third elder Fang Heshan, the fourth elder Kongming Toutuo, and the seventh elder Shi Liuxing of the Tiandao Alliance. The rest are several The elder then fled Xishan. I just don’t know the origin of the person who followed Fang Chenqian. Maybe he is the chief instructor mentioned by the man in black."
"Well, we should know after interrogating these prisoners."
Then, the commanders of the 13th and 16th battalions also came forward to report: "Master Wei, our army killed more than 640 men in black in this battle with less than 80 casualties and captured one person. There were more than a hundred people. The number of those who escaped was probably less than a hundred."
"Okay. Thirteenth Battalion, Sixteenth Battalion. You have to work hard to bury the bodies of these men in black on the spot."
"Yes, sir."
Suo Wuhun sighed. He seemed a little disappointed and said: "The Tiandao Alliance has disappeared from now on."
Xiao Qi knew that Suo Wuhun was a pity that he was the original Tiandao Alliance. He smiled and said: "Master Suo, everything has a cause and effect. More than a hundred years ago, the Chao Gang was not implemented, and Fangla's chaos happened. Now the emperor is a sage, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. Going astray in the end can only lead to a dead end."
Suo Wuhun's heart trembled and he said, "Yes. Your Excellency, it is clear to you."
"Okay. Sirs, let's go down the mountain. Take a rest in Meilin Town for a while and then return to Lin'an."
"Yes, sir."
In the middle of July of the fifth year of Xianchun, Xiangyang City Marshal's Mansion.
Around noon, I received two reports from Lin'an. One was happy and the other was sad.
The good news came from the Lin'an Palace. Concubine Yang Shu gave birth to a son at noon in the seventh month. The mother and the child were safe. Everything in the palace was fine. The official family suddenly read it. When Fang Ling finished reading it, I felt very good.
Fang Ling smiled and said: "Brother, you are a father."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Yuan Ji and others in the room said in unison.
"Haha. Good. Good. Same joy. Same joy."
"Zhao Shi. Zhao Shi. Your future has changed. As a father, I will teach you to be a good person." I thought to myself. "As for whether you can ascend the throne and become emperor, it depends on your own destiny."
Although I don’t know whether my lifespan will be the same as that of Zhao Fu in history. But I will measure my heirs by their ability and character. If there is no such person among my descendants, then I would rather choose someone other than Zhao. .
I am the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. I am also the emperor of the Chinese clan. What I want to create is the glory of China, not the continuation of the Zhao family's throne.
