Chapter 157 Boom!!!
The high cliff is not connected to the city wall, and the high cliff is not flat, and the terrain is also very narrow. Therefore, the Zheng family only used soft ladders up and down here. On this high cliff, only a few sentries were patrolling. However, at this moment, the attention of these soldiers was completely attracted by the hot battlefield ahead, very Even a few obscene figures behind him climbed up the high cliff without noticing it.
"It's all over, the brothers who rushed out are all over." A sentry said nervously. Although it is far away from the battlefield, they can still see more and more red figures lying on the ground, and even showing signs of retreat.
"Damn it, they are only 800 people. How can we lose!" Another sentry gritted his teeth fiercely and paused the musket in his hand.
"Because you are stupid." A sound with a trace of pride and a chill suddenly sounded in the sentry's ear, which made him stiff all over. Just as he was about to hold his head, he felt that a big hand like a pliers suddenly grabbed his chin and then felt that his throat was cold, and the air seemed to be completely separated from his breath in an instant. He tried his best to open his mouth, but he couldn't get a trace of fresh air. His hands threw away the weapon in his hand helplessly, but failed to catch the task.
The blood kept gushing out of his cut throat. Before he lost consciousness, he just looked at a ferocious smiling face full of scars and scars in a trance, and his evil eyes were full of madness and destruction. None of the five sentries could sound an alarm. They didn't even have time to resist, so they let Wu Qianqi and his companions either cut their throats or poked into their chests with the black triangular thorns. Their bodies twitched in despair, like catfish struggling in the mud pond.
Wu Qian made a gesture to his men who had been stained with blood on his face. Those people quietly retreated to the edge of the high cliff, began to untie the rope around their waist and throw them to the companions who were waiting anxiously in the reef group under the high cliff. Wu Qianjin and the other two carefully touched the end of the high cliff near the city wall. With the cover of the weed, he quietly poked out half of his head.
Below, the pirates of the Zheng family dressed in red are running in a hurry, carrying shells, gunpowder and various defensive equipment, while those who strictly guard their posts have completely focused their attention on the front. Perhaps, they will not think that anyone can attack them from this high cliff.
Wu Qian grinned and quietly retracted his head. Indeed, if someone else came to attack the Zheng family castle, he was absolutely unwilling to attack from this direction. First of all, the terrain here is too steep, and I'm afraid there won't be many people who can get up, and then the terrain above is narrow, and there is nothing I can do anything at all. Arranging more troops, and just dozens of people carrying guns and knives to surprise the rock-solid Zheng family's castle may make them panic for a while, but when they react, a small group of surprise troops can only wait to die.
--------------------
But now, the Liang pirates have a conscienceless cannon. This kind of weight is so light that two men can carry the mountain climbing and wading in the water, but the lethality and power are not inferior to the new type of heavy artillery. Then, the consequences of this small detachment will be I'm afraid, even the destruction, but now, the pirates of the Zheng family have never heard of the power of this weapon. Therefore, they will soon taste the bitter fruit that can become a nightmare that haunts them for the rest of their lives.
"Stop shooting and let them escape back. There is no need to kill this kind of opponent who has lost his fighting spirit and courage. At least we don't need to waste ammunition now. After Liang Pengfei saw the scene on the high cliff on the right side of Zheng's castle, the big stone in his heart had fallen to the ground. Now he finally relaxed, because at this time, the victory was already in hand.
Zheng Wenxian stood on the gate. Now, his expression was neither anger nor despair, but a kind of numbness. Maybe after hitting too much, the muscles on his face had lost the ability to interpret his internal activities. 1,500 people, including 300 cavalry, are all top elites. It can be said that they are all fearless soldiers who can run and jump, regard killing and arson as commonplace, and can fight bravely with the enemy.
But in just a quarter of an hour, the three hundred iron riders only fled back to more than 30 riders, and those pirates who relied on their feet to charge and retreat only fled back half, and there were many injuries, supported by their companions, struggling to go to the castle. On the opposite side, Liang Pengfei did not move, with no intention of chasing at all. Even the artillery bombardment stopped, only allowing the two cannons to continue to shoot at the seemingly indestructible castle.
Zheng Wenxian bit his lips tightly, and a trace of salty smell lingered around his mouth. It was caused by his mouth being bitten. His eyes looked straight at the Liang pirates in the distance, who had no intention of going forward at all. He never thought that after those guys won a big victory, not to mention chasing, they even fired a few more shots. It seemed that they were reluctant to watch their subordinates escape.
This almost insulting behavior made Zheng Wenxian almost bite his teeth. Liang Pengfei completely looked down on himself, but even if he was so angry that his lungs were blown up, there was nothing he could do. Who let the other party's artillery have a longer range than his own, not to mention that Zheng Wenxian now has no hope of attacking the Liang pirates.
If the pirates of the Liang family had just launched a fierce pursuit after defeating his men, Zheng Wenxian might not help ordering the artillery bombardment regardless of the casualties of the soldiers. Unfortunately, Liang Pengfei did not give him this opportunity.
Just when the young master of the Zheng family was lightly annoyed, the city gate had slowly opened, and a group of fully armed Zheng pirates poured out of the city. Naturally, they were to pick up the retreating comrades-in-arms. At this time, almost all the Zheng pirates guarding near the city wall heard a strange voice from the high cliff on the side of their castle.
A little dull and a little hoarse thunder sounded continuously. Then, in their stunned eyes, several explosive bags appeared. They rolled in the sky, drew strange arcs, and then fell down, smashing all over the castle wall of the Zheng family... Zheng Wenxian was a little surprised, but at the first time, he could be sure that someone had climbed to the high cliff and killed the guards there. However, he was not too worried. The high cliff was full of calculations, and at most he could stand a hundred people. Did the hundred people want to raid the Zheng family's castle? Don't forget. There is only a ladder between the castle and the high cliff. If the other party wants to raid, they have to jump down. However, the vertical height of the high cliff and the city wall is close to ten meters. What's the difference between jumping down and sending death?
However, those Liang pirates did not as he expected, but threw these strange things. Zheng Wenxian pulled out the sword around his waist and just opened his mouth to give an order. At this moment, he felt as if something was suddenly beating his heart. At the same time, his ears were like being slapped by a strong man who could lift a thousand pounds of tripod.
He was lifted up by the powerful shock wave and fell fiercely on the bluestone wall. Then, he was thrown up again as if he had been relayed. He felt as if he were in the center of the storm. The huge waves in the sky would never stop throwing him around, and his eyebrows had cracked. His vision seemed so blurred that he didn't know how many teeth had been lost. He didn't know whether his lips were cut by a stone or an inverted sword, and turned into ugly rabbit lips. The blood was dripping like a spring. However, Zheng Wenxian had obviously lost his sense of pain, or his five senses had lost. Half, he couldn't know how many times he had fallen up and down. His ears could not be heard, and his vision became blurred. It was very difficult to breathe. I tried to open my mouth, but what I inhaled into my body was full of choking smoke.
He felt that his internal organs seemed to have broken into pieces, which was the damage caused by the shock wave caused by the explosion of the explosive bag fired by the conscienceless cannon. I don't know how long it took, the trembling earth and the wall finally returned to calm. Zheng Wenxian was pressed by a heavy blue stone, and that leg was completely The ground changed, but at this moment, he could no longer feel any pain. He tried to open his mouth and breathe the air that still had hot smoke, in order to make the passage of his life more slow.
He is surrounded by corpses and broken clothes, and even a broken hand is on his chest. Some people are alive. However, they have been cut more or less lightly or severely injured. Some people are lying on the ground and vomiting. The damage caused by the shock wave to their internal organs is inevitable. This wave covers their faces. The indiscriminate bombing made the Zheng pirates suffer a terrible disaster almost without any precautions.
Even some corpses have no blood stains on the outside, and even the clothes on their bodies are complete. Obviously, the shock wave generated by the explosion of the explosive bag was shocked to death. The originally flat and towering wall has been completely cut off a layer, revealing a ferocious sharp angle. In the gap between those residual bricks and gravel, there is also mooring. The flowing blood flowed down the cracks of the stone, dyeing the wall red and black, and even the solid soil under the wall was blown up extremely fluffy.
Some Zheng pirates who had not had time to enter the city just now have fled to that way as if they were avoiding the plague. Even the soldiers of the Liang family who had approached and raised their long guns turned a blind eye and were lifted to the ground by one shot. It seems that only death can free them from those desperate fears.
"Don't worry about these guys, rush in, and try to catch those who can. As for the dead, cut off their heads. I will set up a pillar for me!" Liang Pengfei looked at the cyan wall wrapped in red and black plasma, and the wounded who were dying. There was no trace of pity on his face, only coldness and ruthlessness.
