    "A sneeze"

    A gust of cold wind blew by, and Han Tao couldn't help but sneeze.

    Hu Yanzhuo looked at his friend who was sick and went into battle, and advised: "It's cold today. You have just recovered from your internal injuries, but you are also infected with the wind and cold. It's better to go back to camp to recuperate. As long as the Liangshan bandits come out of their berths, with my chain horse here, they will be able to  Destroy the Liangshan grass bandits in one battle."

    Han Tao looked at the soldiers shivering in the cold wind, shook his head and said: "The war is imminent, how can I abandon the soldiers and leave the battlefield."

    Hu Yanzhuo knew that all his hopes were now on Ling Zhen. If his artillery failed, he would have no choice but to attack Liangshan, otherwise his army would completely lose its combat effectiveness.

    These days, he racked his brains in order to keep the soldiers away from the cold.

    They began to drink ginger soup for the soldiers every day. After all the ginger on the market was plundered, they even acquiesced to the soldiers and bought some spirits for them to drink in small amounts to ward off the cold.

    "But a single coat is still not enough to withstand the cold wind, especially for a sergeant who has to work in a pond.

    In just three days, more than 2,000 soldiers contracted the cold and lost their combat effectiveness.

    Ling Zhen and his party arrived late and had all their clothes and armor with them, so they did not reduce their number and had already assembled the gun mounts.

    With the development of artillery to this dynasty, the size of each component of each type of cannon has been specified, and labor is divided and cooperated. After each component is manufactured, it can be assembled directly on the battlefield. When damaged, the components can also be replaced directly.

    Not only the gun mounts have been standardized, but the cannon stones fired have also been standardized. The shapes and sizes have specifications, and marks will be engraved on the finished cannonballs. The cannon stones matched for each type of cannon are also different.

    Ling Zhen saw that the gun mount had been assembled, so he directed the sergeant to move the gun mount forward along the road filled in the water.

    Hu Yanzhuo saw that Ling Zhen and his party continued to go deeper into the mooring and were out of the range of the archers on the shore. He quickly ordered the archers to follow Ling Zhen to protect them.

    Ling Zhen saw that the Golden Beach Water Village had entered the firing range, so he ordered the soldiers to fix the gun mount.  Ling Zhen visually measured the distance to the water village, then placed the first round of ordinary cannon stones in the leather socket at the end of the tip pole, gave an order, and pulled the gunner to use force together.

    "Plop"

    The first shell fell into the water.

    Ling Zhen saw that the range of the cannon stone was not enough, so he added a few more gunners and tried firing another cannon stone.

    The second cannon stone still fell into the water, but it was not far from the water village.

    Ling Zhen added a few more gunners, adjusted the gun mount, and directly placed an artillery piece.

    "Boom"

    The third artillery piece fell into the water village and exploded, and the explosion seemed to be quite powerful. It directly blasted a hole several feet large in the wooden fence wall.

    Ling Zhen adjusted the gun mount again and directly placed a dual-part cannon.

    This cannon contained forty-nine cannons hidden in one cannon. The shells also hit the water and exploded in the water village. Forty-nine of the cannons shot out in all directions.  Sawdust was flying everywhere.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of ten cannons and seven or eight cannons cannons cannons cannon fell into the water village. Although most of these cannons are not very powerful, two of them are astonishingly powerful.

    "One fell on the wooden fence wall of the water village, and the wooden fence wall collapsed by more than ten feet; one fell on the roof of the water village, but the house fell down and the wall collapsed.

    ? Among them, the wind cannon has the effect of igniting fire. A wind cannon that fell on the roof of the water village caused a fire. The fire took advantage of the wind and gradually burned.

    Fortunately, after the Liangshan leaders saw the Lingzhen artillery mount that day, they asked the naval forces to temporarily evacuate the water stronghold.

    Today, as soon as the Lingzhen artillery mount moved, the leaders of Liangshan received the news. At this time, they were all watching the power of the Lingzhen artillery on the mountain.

    Ruan Xiaoqi saw that the first two cannonballs fell into the water, and laughed at Ling Zhen's cannon for being inaccurate. Only when he saw the third shot blasting a big hole directly in the wall of the water village, did he feel that Ling Zhen was  It seems a bit powerful.

    When he saw that the Zimu Cannon, the Lianzhu Cannon, and the Wind Fire Cannon were attacking one after another, he saw that the water stronghold was beaten to a state of disrepair in a short time, and then he was stunned and said: "Fortunately, everyone evacuated the water stronghold, otherwise I wouldn't have known what to do."  How many brothers have been harmed by this Ling Zhen?"

    Gongsun Sheng also came from a Taoist background. Gunpowder is just a failed product of alchemy. He naturally has some understanding of gunpowder. However, he knows that gunpowder cannot even explode an alchemy furnace. In many cases, it is just a muffled sound that causes fire.  I used to think that Ling Zhen's cannons were just cannon stones, but now I see Ling Zhen's artillery everywhere. Occasionally one or two of them can feel like rocks are falling apart. It's obvious that the gunpowder has been improved, but the power seems to be unstable. I can't help but sigh.  : "If I can get this person to go up the mountain, I won't be afraid of conquests by officers and soldiers from now on."

    Wu Yong smiled and said: "Didn't Brother Yong already make a plan that day? Look, Ling Zhen and Can Pao were at the last moment.On the other side, there are only a few hundred archers behind.  The navy can first approach from the reeds, and then use speedboats to attack Ling Zhen, who can be captured.  "

    Hearing this, Ruan Xiaoqi smiled and said: "Leave this matter to our brothers, we will definitely capture Ling Zhen alive and go up the mountain."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Don't worry, Hu Yanzhuo must want to blow up the water stronghold. Without the water stronghold to stop them, they can go up to the Golden Beach. Then they can bombard our Liangshan Dazhai from the Golden Beach and force us to go down to the Golden Beach."  Battle on the beach. These days, I heard that Hu Yanzhuo sent people everywhere to buy ginger, spirits and medicines to treat wind and cold. I am afraid that many people in Hu Yanzhuo's army have been infected with wind and cold. We will wait for a day and the fighting strength of Hu Yanzhuo's army will be reduced.  If we go to rob Ling Zhen now, I'm afraid Hu Yanzhuo will make a desperate move and attack Liangshan with all his strength. We might as well wait a little longer and give Hu Yanzhuo some hope. He doesn't want to lose too many troops and will wait for us.  In the evening, we went to capture Ling Zhen. At that time, the officers and soldiers were ready to withdraw their troops and their vigilance was at their lowest. Moreover, if we captured Ling Zhen at that time, Hu Yanzhuo would not dare to attack Liangshan overnight, so he would have to spend another hard night.  I'm afraid his combat power will be weakened again overnight."

    When Chao Gai heard this, he nodded and said: "Yong'er is right, Hu Yanzhuo cherishes his soldiers, and we are all Chao Gai's brothers on Liangshan Mountain. If we can reduce the damage, we will lose less. Let Ling Zhen go and blow up the water village."  , is the post-war reconstruction.¡±

    Hu Yanzhuo watched the Lingzhen artillery display its power from the shore, and his uneasy mood gradually calmed down.

    Han Tao watched Liangshan Water Village being gradually destroyed by the attack of Ling Zhen's artillery. He felt that the wind and cold on his body seemed to be relieved a lot with the explosion of the artillery. He said excitedly: "This Ling Zhen is really worthy of the name of Hong Tian Lei. It looks like,  We can completely destroy the Liangshan grass bandits today. Without the water wall, we can go straight to the golden beach to catch the turtles and kill them all."

    Hu Yanzhuo was also full of ambition at this time. Watching Ling Zhen's artillery blasting in the Golden Beach Water Village, he seemed to have seen himself rising steadily.

    (Thanks to "Ghost Yihu" for the reward. He is one of the earliest book friends. When he didn't have many words, he advertised for me at Water Margin Bar and other places. I am so grateful.)
