Please ask me to be the emperor

It turned out that the big families in the city saw that their servants and villagers were not strong enough to fight, so they had to spend a lot of money to hire the hunters from the mountains in the city. These mountain hunters are quite similar to Xiao Qinhu. They all live in poverty or have lost their land and have no way to make a living, so they have to hide in the mountains. They secretly opened up a little wasteland in the mountains. On the one hand, they could avoid the government's tax burden, and on the other hand, they could supplement their daily needs through hunting and gathering.

These people hunted furs and picked mountain products on weekdays, then picked them up in the city and sold them to the big families in the city in exchange for money. Due to the pressure of life, these people are quite similar to the Liaodong Jurchens and Hetao Tartars, who are tough and hardworking and have superb shooting skills.

Just because Zhang Shun and others captured Zezhou City, such a group of mountain people were trapped in the city. With nowhere to go, many people have no choice but to seek shelter from wealthy households in the city. "Zijinliang" Zhang Shun and others were originally outsiders. They didn't know the reason, so they ignored this power.

Originally, Han Tingxian had a grand plan. He originally wanted to use this power to deal with the "Nine Dragons" left behind in the "Purple Golden Liang", but it turned out that it was unfavorable to go out. Before he could "uprising", he was beaten up by Wukong and his body was injured; and just as he and others started to launch a riot, preparing to take the "old bastard" of "Optimus Prime"'s family as a sacrifice, they were beaten by Wukong again. Destroyed by one person.

After finally escaping, I heard that the troops sent to deal with Zhang Shun's "mother-in-law" encountered Zhang Shun "who had deployed hundreds of troops" and were beaten to a bloody head and fled in all directions. Only the main force left to attack the camp was inexplicably defeated by a "strong general" from the opponent.

A few days of connection and hard work are going to be extinguished before they have time to stir up trouble? This is really intolerable. My family's life, fortune, and wealth all depend on this struggle. If I lose any value, won't I have to be a thief and bandit in this life?

Thinking of this, Han Tingxian gritted his teeth and gathered all the mountain hunters and hunters in the city, as well as two to three hundred strong and bold slave farmers, to prepare a desperate attack on Zhang Shun's camp! Opportunities must not be missed and will not come back again. If "Purple Golden Liang" or Zhang Shun comes back in a few days, this matter will be difficult to handle.

He already had a complete plan for this incident, and he was not afraid that Zhang Daojun would not take credit for him! Thinking of this, Han Tingxian personally ordered his mountain men, the hunters, to fire a hail of arrows at Zhang Shun's camp. Seeing with his own eyes that several of Zhang Shun's soldiers were shot down, Han Tingxian's angry mood became much better.

While he ordered the mountain hunters to suppress Zhang Shun's supply camp, he also ordered the slave farmers to cut down the fence. Although the wood used for these fences is relatively thick, almost as thick as the mouth of a bowl, it cannot withstand such cutting.

Chen Jindou and Zhao Yutou were also anxious when they saw this, and quickly organized their teams to counterattack. However, due to the support of arrow rain from the opposite side, several counterattacks failed. Suddenly they fell into a dilemma. The three of them had no choice but to invite Ma Yingniang out again for discussion. As a result, Ma Yingniang had no good solution.

After all, it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw. They may seem to have a lot of troops under their command, but in fact they are just like the other party, they are just ordinary people with weapons. Fortunately, Ma Yingniang's performance just now boosted their morale, so they didn't collapse instantly.

At this time, Chen Jindou and Zhao Yutou couldn't help but secretly complain about Li Shi'an. This guy listened to the lord's order and not only brought all the artillery, but also specially dispatched a dozen combat-effective soldiers to escort the artillery. They really tricked them into grandma’s house.

They had no choice but to go to Liu Gang, the blacksmith leader, to see if he could make an artillery piece in time. Liu Gang had just used "orchid charcoal" to smelt a piece of fine iron, and was waiting for Zhang Shun to come back and claim the credit. Hearing that these three or four "immortals" wanted to make a cannon immediately, they couldn't help but stare, threw the hammer in their hands on the ground, and said: "Come on, come on, I'll give you the hammer, you can do it! It's done" , I can call you Patriarch!"

The four people had no choice but to return dejectedly. On the way to the road, Chen Jindou sighed and said: "Does God want to destroy me? Why don't I be the founding father of the country and a hero of the dragon?"

Ma Yingniang was also speechless after hearing the words, thinking: If the camp is destroyed, she will not be humiliated by others, she can only commit suicide.

While he was dejected, Xu Ziyuan accidentally saw the remaining wood for making fences in the camp, which looked like the body of a cannon. He couldn't help but lamented: "It would be great if these elm lumps could be used as cannons, bang bang bang, bang bang bang." !”

"You want to eat shit!" Chen Jindou was in a bad mood and cursed after hearing this, "An iron cannon will explode if it is not strong enough, let alone something made of elm wood? If you don't wait to bomb others, blow yourself up first." Are you dead?"

Xu Ziyuan smiled sarcastically when he heard this, but was speechless. On the contrary, when Zhao Yutou heard this, his eyes lit up and he said: "This matter may not be impossible. I used to be a boatman all year round, and I repaired the fishing boats myself when they broke down. I am quite familiar with wood. This elm wood is much harder than pine and poplar. Mu, if you can fire one or two cannons, it would also be good to bluff people!"

"How long has it been since this happened, and you are causing trouble for me?" Chen Jindou said angrily, "If one of our own people is injured and morale collapses, wouldn't it be all over?"

"If the left and right are dying, it can't be any worse, right?" Zhao Yutou said with a smile.

After hearing this, Ma Yingniang also felt a glimmer of hope in her heart, and said, "At least give it a try, it's better than just sitting there and waiting for death!"

The four of them had reached an agreement and quickly returned to find blacksmith Liu Gang to discuss making elm cannons. Liu Gang actually didn't believe that this could happen, but he heard that the situation outside was urgent and he couldn't care less. He quickly asked other blacksmiths to take out their tools and selected a short and hard elm trunk. The core of the tree was dug out, and then seven or eight iron bars were tied around the outside to complete it.

Thus, a simple elm cannon was completed. At this time, the situation was extremely urgent. After this delay, the fence outside had been cut down, and the enemy might rush in at any time.

The four men quickly ordered the soldiers to carry the elm cannon to the entrance of the camp. At this time, the enemy was already frantically cheering for victory. Chen Jindou quickly ordered the soldiers to load gunpowder and shells into the artillery. Because he was worried about exploding the barrel, he also specially arranged for the soldiers to put less gunpowder into it.

After the artillery was loaded, everyone realized that they were in a hurry and did not get out of the fire door. He quickly ordered a long piece of medicine to be intercepted and introduced into the medicine room from the cannon door.

It was easy to finish loading, but look at me and look at you, no one dared to light this elm cannon.

At this time, an enemy had already slipped through the gap in the fence, and the arrow had to be fired. Ma Yingniang thought to herself: "Left or right is a word of death. If God can help me get through this, the artillery will blast the enemy to death; if God doesn't open its eyes, then just blow me up too and save me the pain of suicide!"

Thinking of this, Ma Yingniang found the strength to push away the hesitant soldiers in front of her. She picked up the torch and lit the fuse of the elm cannon.
