    Cheng Yousheng stood on the wall of Shuicheng and had a panoramic view of the battle taking place on the southeast side. He was naturally extremely excited when he saw the officers and soldiers of the Dengzhou Navy being beaten and retreating steadily under the tight blockade of the cannon soldiers, and finally turned around and fled.  .  In his eyes, these navy officers and soldiers are not much different from the bandits in Daze Mountain. As long as they block the way forward of Zhenshan Camp, they will be mercilessly destroyed.  Seeing that there were still more than fifty naval officers and soldiers rushing through Zhenshan Camp and the cannon soldiers to blockade them, Cheng Yousheng knew that the ultimate goal of these naval officers and soldiers was to fight for the water gate and prevent the naval warships from leaving.  Leaving a personal guard on the city wall to continue monitoring, Cheng Yousheng quickly returned to the city gate. The most critical take-off and landing winch of the iron gate was placed here, and what the officers and soldiers of the Dengzhou Navy were fighting for was nothing more than the take-off and landing at the city gate.  winch.  As long as the take-off and landing winch is controlled, Shuicheng is controlled. Therefore, the gate of Shuicheng will be a key place for the soldiers of the Guards Battalion and the navy officers and soldiers to fight each other.  Yan Gui and more than 20 other brothers from the Guards Battalion were a little anxious. The fighting situation on the southeast side could not be detected at the city gate. They heard the "boom boom" sound of the cannons stopped, but they didn't know what the situation was like!  Seeing Cheng Yousheng coming down from the city, they all gathered around to ask about the situation.  Cheng Yousheng changed his previous relaxed demeanor and said: "More than fifty naval officers and soldiers have broken through the blockade of the cannon soldiers, and will soon come to fight for the water gate."  It is simply a delusion for our guard battalion to seize the water gate!" Cheng Yousheng shook his head and said: "I observed at the top of the city that these naval officers and soldiers who broke through the blockade of the gunners were all brave people, and we have fewer people than them.  This group of officers and soldiers will attack at the city gate, and we will be in a hard fight. Once they control the winch, the consequences will be disastrous! " Yan Gui said with a smile: "There are other ways to attack the opponent, of course there is no need to fight with them!" Qin on the side!  Mazi said: "Brother Cheng, please don't show off. If you have any good ideas, tell the brothers immediately so that you can prepare early!" Cheng Yousheng said: "Brothers, listen to me. If you stay at the gate of the city, you can only fight head-on with the enemy. This time  It’s extremely disadvantageous for us. We have to find a way to block the opponent outside the city gate.” Qin Mazi waved the knife in his hand and said, “Brother Cheng, you mean we go out directly and block the opponent outside the city gate?” Cheng Yousheng.  He nodded and said: "The opponent is still far away from us now. Before the opponent arrives, we should ambush on the opponent's path and wait for the opponent to arrive. We will definitely catch the opponent by surprise." Yan Gui thought for a while and said:  "Let's ambush the officers and soldiers on the southeast side halfway. What if there are more navy officers and soldiers coming from the southwest to attack the Shuicheng gate?" Cheng Yousheng was influenced by Feng Jian and was always willing to make dangerous moves in key matters, putting himself in a position of last-ditch battle.  , this often leads to unexpected results, so he is unwilling to be questioned by his subordinates when he proposes risky ideas.  Yan Gui's words were recognized by some of the guards. They felt that it would be crueler to fight at the city gate.  But he was not afraid of officers and soldiers suddenly appearing on the other side.  Cheng Yousheng's face darkened, and his voice became much more stern, and he said: "The officers and soldiers of the navy on the southwest side have just retreated and will not return again in a short time. We have brothers on the wall to monitor us. Once the enemy is discovered, it is too late to return quickly. Everyone  No need to argue, just do as I say!" Yan Gui felt something was wrong.  He quickly bowed and said, "Brother Cheng has made up his mind, and brothers will definitely abide by it." Cheng Yousheng's expression returned to normal.  Said: "Well, our brothers in the Guard Camp are all good! Qin Mazi. Bring all the remaining gunpowder bags with you, and let these fish who have slipped through the net have a taste of our Zhenshan Camp's gunpowder bags!" … Liu Ba  The navy officers and soldiers who rushed through the cannon blockade were in shock. Looking back at the dead and wounded scattered in the blockade, they felt even more horrified.  The bird blunderbuss used by the opponent is much stronger than the bird blunderbuss used by the navy officers and soldiers. The two sides are more than a hundred steps apart, and the bird blunderbuss can easily injure the soldiers on your side.  The bird muskets used by the navy officers and soldiers can only injure people within a distance of 80 steps, and the firing speed is still very slow. It is impossible to fire continuously like the bird muskets soldiers on the opposite side.  Fortunately, they finally reached a safe position, but at this time, they no longer had the courage to rush into the opponent's gunnery blockade!  Mr. Liu took a breath for a while, then suddenly pointed at the location where the cannon soldiers on the opposite side were firing and screamed hysterically, venting the fear and resentment in his heart. More than fifty naval officers and soldiers around him also followed suit, pointing at the location of the cannon soldiers and shouting curses.  .  For a time, these more than 50 embarrassed navy officers and soldiers seemed to have become scolding shrews, standing in places where the gunmen could not take care of, jumping around and yelling, and they looked like navy officers and soldiers at all. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　After a while, Mr. Liu waved his hand to stop everyone, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said with some frustration: "Five hundred people attacked, but only more than fifty people including me were lucky to pass through the dangerous place. It can be seen that the other party is so cruel. This kind of behavior is not the same as Kong Youde outside the city."  What's wrong with the rebels!" He then pointed to the position of the naval warships and said: "These warships belong to our Dengzhou Navy camp, but now they are being forcibly driven away by these thieves. We and our soldiers must not sit idly by and watch.  We cannot live up to the expectations of Lord Haiphong Dao Wang, so we must find a way to control the Shuicheng gate. When the time comes, we must make these thieves look good! " These naval officers and soldiers had heard from Tang Shouwei before that the other side had fewer people guarding the city gate!  , Mr. Liu's few words happened to hit the sore points of the navy officers and soldiers, so the scoldings quickly turned into shouts, as if the people guarding the city gate were vulnerable to a blow.  The officers and soldiers of the Navy clamored for General Liu to order the recapture of Shuimen and trap the thieves who wanted to seize the Navy warships in the Navy camp.  After taking a short rest, General Liu gave an order, and more than fifty naval officers and soldiers stepped on the snow on the ground and began to march towards the gate of Shuicheng.  From a distance, I saw the snow-covered Shuicheng gate. There were many rolling wooden rocks and many obstacles placed at the gate, but no one was guarding the gate.  Liu Ba always feels a little strange, what kind of drama is the other party doing?  "Well, they must be ambushing around the city gate, preparing for a sudden attack!" Mr. Liu grinned slightly, thinking: "How can such a little trick be hidden from others? The more the other party does this, the more it shows that they have a guilty conscience.  Scared!" Mr. Liu turned around and shouted: "The opponent is likely to be ambushing around the city gate. When we get close to the city gate, all the soldiers must be alert to prevent the opponent from attacking suddenly!" "Mr. Liu, there is no need to worry!  We are all people who have narrowly escaped death, so we will naturally pay more attention to our own safety!" the navy officers and soldiers said in unison.  As he was walking forward, Mr. Liu suddenly felt that he stepped on a hard object under his feet. When he lowered his head, he saw a package sealed with oil paper. The outside of the package was connected to a "chichi" lead that was smoking.  I have never seen this thing before, and I don't know why this thing is "chichi" and smoking, but based on my intuition, it is definitely not a good thing.  So he stepped on the underground gunpowder toward the smoking fuse, and shouted: "All the soldiers should pay attention to their steps. If they see a smoking package, they should stamp it out quickly. This must be the work of the people guarding the city gate!"  After speaking, he raised his feet and took a look. The lead core under his feet was still emitting white smoke, rapidly burning towards the package itself.  Suspiciousness arose in Mr. Liu's mind. He suddenly thought that when the naval camp broke through the ice, there were some people busy on the ice. It seemed that they were igniting something. Could it be Mr. Liu was covered in blood at the thought of this?  There was a big earthquake, and the left foot that stepped on the gunpowder package quickly retracted as if it was burned. At the same time, he shouted, "Don't touch the package under your feet. Everyone, run forward quickly, fast! Fast!" Mr. Liu shouted, himself  First, charge desperately to the gate of Shuicheng!  Cheng Yousheng, Yan Gui, Qin Mazi and other Guards Battalion soldiers were buried in a warehouse a hundred feet away that temporarily stored warship supplies. From a hundred feet away to the vicinity of the warehouse, they put down more than twenty gunpowder packets at one go.  Cheng Yousheng and others all saw with their own eyes the huge power of the gunpowder cannon explosion. The one-inch-thick ice surface of the naval camp was blown to pieces. If this explosion hit people, they would definitely be dead!  Through the crack in the warehouse door, Qin Mazi saw that the naval commander actually planned to step on the fuse of the gunpowder package with his feet, and said disdainfully: "The fuse is sprinkled with gunpowder powder. How can you step on it once it ignites?"  "Destroy! These people deserve to have a taste of the gunpowder bag." Yan Gui stared at the navy officers and soldiers outside through the crack of the door. Seeing them running forward quickly, he turned to Cheng Yousheng and said, "Brother Cheng, why are you returning this gunpowder bag?"  If it doesn't explode, these people are almost here!" Cheng Yousheng didn't know much about gunpowder packets than Yan Gui and the others. He stared at the navy officers and soldiers running in the snow outside and said in a regretful tone: "Damn it, who?  We know the explosion will be so slow! If they run out of the explosion range, we brothers will have to step forward and fight for our lives!" Qin Mazi said: "We brothers are each responsible for lighting a gunpowder bag, almost at the same time, and it will explode at the same time!  "These navy officers and soldiers can't run too fast in the snow. I think there is still a chance." "Boom" a deafening explosion sounded. Cheng Yousheng and others who were ambushing in the warehouse felt the ground shake, and the top of the warehouse fell.  There were flakes of dust before everyone could stabilize themselves.  "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" Explosions sounded continuously outside the warehouse. At this time, within a hundred feet of the outside of the warehouse, the explosion rolled up a sky full of snowflakes and covered this large area. Explosives flying around fell from time to time.  There is a "bang bang" sound on top of the house building, and occasionally??You can also see one or two severed limbs flying in the air.  Several large holes were made in the warehouse where Cheng Yousheng and others were hiding. The flying stones almost hit Cheng Yousheng and others who were hiding in the warehouse.  After recovering from the shock, Cheng Yousheng and others stared at each other blankly, feeling the power of the gunpowder package explosion in person, which was completely different from watching it from the side.  Looking at the horrific scene caused by the explosion of gunpowder packets outside the warehouse, Cheng Yousheng and other members of the Guards Battalion felt a wave of fear. Fortunately, they were hiding in this vacant warehouse, otherwise the consequences would have been quite serious.  Cheng Yousheng shook his dizzy head and looked at the explosion scene that was gradually calming down outside the warehouse.  I saw twenty large pits within a hundred feet. The snow on the ground was covered with flying stones and mud. The surrounding buildings were smashed by flying stones.  !  !  (To be continued)
