Pirate Song

Chapter Fourteen The Cannon

Gao Huaiyuan's arrow hit the captain's shield, nailing his arm and shield together. The man immediately screamed in pain and tried to reach out to break the arrow from his left arm.

He came out, but how could Gao Huaiyuan give him this opportunity? After shooting the first arrow, he saw that he had not let go, so he immediately pulled out the second arrow from the sack in front of him, immediately opened the bow and shot again

Go down, this time he aimed at the guy's throat, intending to finish him off in one go.

But this guy was so lucky that he swayed at the critical moment. The arrow immediately hit his shoulder, causing him to fall down on his back. The two soldiers around him took a bad look.

He immediately blocked the guy with his body, dragged him up, and retreated downwards.

Gao Huaiyuan was overjoyed and was about to shout a cheer when he felt a sudden shock in his chest and a sharp pain. He lowered his head and screamed secretly. He had just focused his attention on the commander, but he didn't

While guarding against the Jin Army's archers, an arrow hit his right chest and was firmly nailed to his leather armor.

However, Gao Huaiyuan took a deep breath and found that although the arrow penetrated the leather armor, a piece of iron was sewn into the middle of the leather armor, which successfully blocked the arrow's arrow. The arrow penetrated the armor and was only inserted into the armor.

On his chest muscles.

A Xiangyong who was relatively close to him happened to see Gao Huaiyuan hit by an arrow, so he exclaimed: "Gao Huaiyuan was hit by an arrow!" His cry immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone was shocked. Gao Huaiyuan was now

But if their backbone falls, then this group of people will not be far from collapse!

Damn it, you just want to capture the thief first, and the one in charge is also being targeted. Gao Huaiyuan cursed in his heart, and when he saw the people around him slowing down, he yelled: "

What are you looking at? I'm fine, I won't die! Keep hitting me!" After saying that, he stretched out his hand and broke the tail of the arrow, picked up a stone again, and smashed it down.

When everyone saw that Gao Huaiyuan was not knocked down by the arrow and was still fighting against the Jin army, they were immediately impressed. This also aroused the anger of these country warriors, so the remaining country warriors went crazy again.

The stone fell.

Zhang Qing led a group of spearmen and sword and shield men behind the car wall. When he saw Gao Huaiyuan being so fierce, his heart became hot. He jumped on the cart and grabbed Gao Huaiyuan and said: "Gao Huaiyuan, go down and take a rest."

, let me hold it here!" After saying that, he grabbed a stone and swung it.

At this time, the attacking Jin soldiers had already suffered heavy losses. There were stones falling continuously above their heads, and arrows flying out from behind the wall of the carriage. The commander they led had already disappeared, so the morale of the army suddenly dropped.

Chaos broke out, and after seeing that they could no longer advance, some golden soldiers turned around and ran down the mountain.

As soon as the people in front retreated, the golden soldiers behind did not have the courage to hold on any longer, and they all retreated down the pass like a tide.

Ubru lowered his head and looked at the blood-stained captain kneeling in front of him. He opened his mouth a few times, but did not curse. Finally, he shook his head helplessly. He had also seen what happened in the battle just now. To be honest,

It's no wonder that this captain has nothing to do with him. After all, he tried his best. If he hadn't been lucky, he would have been lying in front of the pass by now, and there would be no point in scolding him.

The pass in front of them was like a tiger's mouth in front of them. In less than half a day, it devoured the lives of nearly 200 of his men and injured even more soldiers. The entire front army was almost destroyed.

They were crippled, but they were so stunned that they couldn't even touch the edge of the pass.

This situation was far beyond his expectation. Unexpectedly, a rural military camp of several hundred people blocked thousands of his soldiers and horses here. After looking around, he saw

The guides who led the troops this time called over and asked them: "Do you know if there is any other way from here to the back of this pass? Or we can go around here and go directly.

Where is Fenglindu?"

Several guides shook their heads: "Report to the general, there is only one road here to get to Fenglindu, and there is no other mountain road for the army to go around. This place is originally called Laohukou, and there is no other way except to rush through it.

It’s law!”

This answer really made Ubru feel discouraged. This time he was originally ordered to sneak attack Fenglindu and then sneak across the Han River, but he didn't expect to hit a hard nut here. If he was dragged here, I'm afraid

In just two days, his operation was considered a complete failure. The Jin people were not good at water warfare. Once the news reached Xiangyang, the Song Navy navy would seal the Han River, and then he could return home and end this sneak attack.

Fight!

Turning his head to look at the pass, which the locals called Tiger's Pass, Ubru ordered: "The Chinese army replaced the front army, divided into three waves, and took turns attacking this pass until we broke through. I want to see it.

What on earth is this Song army made of? It can withstand ten times our strength! Come on! Beat the drum! Let me continue to organize the attack!"

After Gao Huaiyuan led his troops to repulse the Jin army's attack, he withdrew the group of people on the wall of the carriage, and ordered Zhang Qing to lead his troops to take over their positions, allowing these people to take a rest and take inventory.

Looking at the losses and counting, he was heartbroken. Although these people were not from his Wohu Village, they were still fellow villagers! After this fierce battle, more than thirty people died at once, and some were injured.

More than 20 people were killed, and even he himself took an arrow. The losses were not small. Although the enemy's casualties could be said to be ten times theirs, their numbers were relatively small after all, and they could not compete with the Jin soldiers. If this continues,

He didn't know if he could hold out until Xiangyang reinforcements arrived!

Gao Huaiyuan's injury made everyone in the army worried. They came over to ask how his injury was. Gao Huaiyuan untied his leather armor, reached into his chest, touched it, and then broke off the arm on the breastplate.

He pulled out the arrow and looked at the arrowhead. It was a dagger-shaped arrow cluster unique to the Jin Army, so he threw it to the ground and said with a smile: "Fortunately it's not an armor-piercing arrow. Otherwise, I would be in danger today. You don't have to

I'm worried, it's just a minor injury, nothing serious!" After saying that, he took a piece of cloth sprinkled with golden sore medicine handed over by Zhou Hao, and pressed it on the wound on his chest muscle. The wound stimulated by the medicine was burning and painful, but he

He just frowned slightly, then put on the armor again, jumped up and moved his arms, making an expression as if nothing was wrong.

He now knows that he is already the backbone of this place. If he falls, this team will never be able to continue for long. He cannot fall under any circumstances, otherwise, everyone will be doomed this time!

In addition, he was still secretly complaining that he was extremely lucky. He took a long detour for safety and unexpectedly ran into the Jin army. This kind of luck was really not ordinary. Fortunately, God took care of him. In this place

If they were to encounter Jin Bing in another location, he would have no choice but to abandon these vehicles and run towards Xiangyang!

Seeing that Gao Huaiyuan acted like a normal person, everyone admired him and felt relieved. They all advised Gao Huaiyuan to take a rest and asked to take Gao Huaiyuan's place on the car wall to direct the battle.

Gao Huaiyuan thought for a moment, looked at the sky again, and said to everyone: "If I predict correctly, the Jin soldiers will launch a night attack on the pass tonight. It seems that everyone will have to work hard. You don't have to think about it when you sleep at night."

It's going to be very difficult tonight. Please take advantage of this opportunity and seize the time to prepare some rolling wood and rocks. As you all saw in the battle just now, the threat of rolling wood and rocks to the Jin army is much greater than that of bows and arrows. Can we

Whether we can block the golden soldiers depends on whether we can survive until tomorrow morning!

Whether it's life or death, it's useless for me to say now. I hope you can unite as one and stick to it! Even if we are not doing it for the Song Dynasty, we must think about it for ourselves and the brothers around us. The pass cannot be lost. Once it is lost,

No one can survive! Please pass on the order. This battle is about everyone’s life and death. If anyone dares to escape from the battlefield, I will tell you the truth, and my sword will never agree!"

At the end of the words, Gao Huaiyuan's voice revealed a gloomy tone, which made everyone shudder. Although they had not known Gao Huaiyuan for a long time, they all understood his temper and knew that he was a man of his own words.

If someone really dares to escape from the battlefield, then he will never let it go just by talking. His sharp sword will never be soft! And Gao Huaiyuan has a lot of blood on his hands now.

You can kill someone without even batting an eyelid!

So everyone hurriedly nodded and said: "Don't worry, high security team. I will give the order immediately. Everyone knows that the matter is very important. If someone dares to escape from the battle, we will be the first to kill him without you having to deal with it, high security team!"

"

Seeing that everyone had made up their minds, Gao Huaiyuan said nothing more after a decisive battle with the Jin Army. He nodded and asked Zhang Qing to be the first to take his place. He would take the lead for a while, followed by Fan.

Dutou, Guo Liang, Gu Laoer and others took turns to replace each other, and divided the soldiers below into five waves. Each of the five of them led a wave and took turns to go into battle to defend against the enemy. This allowed the soldiers to take turns.

take a break.

After they arranged these things, Gao Huaiyuan ordered the cooks to immediately cook a meal to make it richer so that everyone would be full. During the night, I am afraid that some people will never have the chance to have another dinner!

Here Gao Huaiyuan and others were still busy felling wood and transporting stones, and over there they heard the sound of the Jin's war drums again. He just picked up the rice bowl and broke off two branches to use as chopsticks to eat. Gao Huaiyuan put the rice bowl on the ground.

He scolded: "Damn, this golden dog deserves to die. He can't even let people eat!"

His words immediately aroused a burst of laughter from the local warriors who were eating nearby. After playing for a long time, although people were very tired, their nerves began to relax a lot. If you die, the ball will point up, and you will celebrate the New Year if you don't die! Nervous

The more sophisticated people have now begun to get used to this kind of life, so after hearing the sound of the Jin Army's war drums, not many people were really nervous.

"You guys eat first, I'll go take a look before we talk!" Gao Huaiyuan stood up and wanted to go to the pass to check out the situation, but was stopped by Fan Dutou.

"The high stakes team should take a rest. I'll go over and take a look. I'm the next reserve team, and I'll be the next one. You said you can't be short this night, so you don't have to keep an eye on it!" After saying that, he mentioned

The knife walked toward the pass.

Gao Huaiyuan thought about it. He couldn't stare at a person all the time, so he sat on the ground, took a bowl and made some pickles, and started eating. The cook came over and put a large piece of horse meat in the bowl for him.

He smiled and motioned for him to eat quickly. Now everyone was counting on him, so no one cared that Gao Huaiyuan ate more and better than others.

After Ubru made some adjustments to the Jin army, he also saw the difficulty of this battle. He now had many soldiers, but he could only use this kind of fuel to attack, and it was useless to have more soldiers.

Moreover, this was in the mountains, and the terrain was very unfavorable to them, so he had no good way to deal with the Song people at the pass at the moment, so after thinking for a long time, he asked his men to form a team again and start a new offensive.

After having the experience of repelling the Jin soldiers several times before, Zhang Qing did not panic this time. The soldiers came to block him, and the water came and the soil flooded him. He commanded the 100 men under his command, and with the cooperation of Fan Dutou's reserve team, they launched a fierce attack

After beating them, the Jin army dropped another ten or twenty corpses at the foot of the pass and retreated in defeat.

At this time, it was already getting late. After repelling the golden soldiers, Zhang Qing and his men immediately withdrew, collected the corpses of the local heroes who died in the battle, and treated the injured. Fan Dutou led the troops into the car.

, took over their positions, both sides lit up torches and illuminated the battlefield, and the Jin soldiers immediately sent out another group of troops and launched another upward attack...

Gao Huaiyuan heard the shouts of killing at the pass and called some people who were not part of the team. Several of them had done carpentry work. Gao Huaiyuan pointed to the cut trees on the ground and said to them: "Don't be idle either.

Use this thing to quickly make a few simple cannons. You can't throw rocks far with just manpower. How about making a few of these things and letting the Jin soldiers have a try!"

The cannons of the Song Dynasty were actually stone machines. However, the stone machines of this era mainly relied on human power to provide power to throw stones or other objects. There were many types of cannons in shape, including single-tip cannons and double-tip cannons.

Cannons, five-tip cannons, seven-tip cannons, squatting tiger cannons, pillar-belly cannons, whirlwind cannons, combined cannons, sleeping car cannons, traveling cannons, traveling cannons, etc. There is also a lightweight "hand cannon" that only uses two people.

, can shoot half a kilogram of artillery shells, and Gao Huaiyuan naturally knew these things in detail, so he decided to use ready-made wood to piece together a few cannons. It was for emergency use anyway, and he didn't pay attention to the details.

Already.

So this group of idlers immediately put the wood together under his command according to the pattern he said. They also found some iron nails from the car and hammered them on. They didn't want to be beautiful, they just wanted to be quick.

Soon their movements attracted the attention of a group of soldiers who were resting, and they gathered around one after another. People who knew a little about carpentry also reached out to help, and they quickly made a fight.

The extremely ugly double-tipped cannon arrived, and then the ready-made ropes from the carriage were used to weave a net bag specifically to hold the stones. They shouted chants and ate while carrying them to the pass and setting them up.

At this time, Fan Dutou was leading his men in a fierce battle with the Jin soldiers on the pass. The whole pass was filled with shouts of killing and arrows were flying in the air. From time to time, people were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. Not only did they die, but they also screamed loudly when they were injured. Cursing and being helped down to bandage his wounds, Fan Dou cursed loudly and raised rocks to throw at the Jin soldiers below the pass. He was really not afraid of death.

After these hundreds of people had Gao Huaiyuan, a general who was not afraid of death, the following group of people became bolder and became much more powerful when fighting with the Jin soldiers.

"Come here! Hold the rope, listen to my command, let's work hard together!" Gao Huaiyuan ignored the fierce battle at the pass for the time being, but called a group of idlers over, pulled the two pulling ropes on the cannon, and pulled He put a stone weighing more than ten kilograms into the cannon bag and gave them instructions.

When everyone saw that Gao Huaiyuan had come up with this thing so quickly, they were overjoyed. They were worried about the Jin Army's shield array. With this kind of thing, the Jin Army could drink a pot!

So under the command of Gao Huaiyuan, shouting the slogan "1, 2, 3", a group of village warriors immediately worked together and pulled the rope with all their strength. The end that was originally hanging down suddenly rose up under the tug of the crowd, and the cannon bag was put into the gun bag. The stone was thrown out at once, drawing an arc in the air and disappearing into the night. Gao Huaiyuan quickly asked Fan Dutou on the wall of the car: "How is it? Where did the stone go?"

At this time, I heard Fan Du banging his head on the wall of the car and laughing loudly: "It's great! Haha! It hit the crowd of Jin soldiers just in time, and knocked over several of them at once. The high-defense team is really a god! Hurry! A few more hits. !”

Gao Huaiyuan immediately threw the artillery cart to Gu Laoer to greet him, and continued to throw stones outside. He ran back to greet people and just continued to build the artillery cart according to the style of this artillery cart. Anyway, the more the merrier. So a group of guys who didn't have to go into battle for the time being started working in full swing.

After nightfall, the visibility of both sides was not good, and the effectiveness of the crossbows was significantly reduced. The Jin soldiers were now anxious, charging towards the pass with their shields and swords and guns roaring, although the officers and soldiers at the pass also resisted with all their strength. Gradually, some golden soldiers rushed to the front of the car wall. Under the heavy figures, the two sides finally came to a close encounter at the car wall.

After hearing the screams at the pass, Gao Huaiyuan was startled. He immediately turned around and raised his knife. He took Zhou Hao and others with him and rushed to the wall of the car. He saw a large number of golden soldiers pouring into the wall of the car. Below, the wall of the carriage is not very high. If you stand below and hold a spear, you can stab the people on the carriage. Therefore, after the Jin soldiers stabbed randomly, the Song army on the wall immediately suffered heavy casualties, but they were now He was also anxious, and he also stabbed with guns, smashed with stones, and chopped with knives, killing many golden soldiers under the wall of the carriage.dd
