"Recharge, ignite, and release!"

The gunner covered his ears and shrank to the side. The fierce fireboat was fired and the back seat seemed to shake the solid bridge of Xinjiang Bridge. The huge projectiles flew nearly two miles in the deafening cannon, cleverly avoiding all the enemy ships, and fell into the water as steady as an old dog.

Chen Mu's ears kept buzzing. He saw someone around him opening his mouth and opening and closing his mouth. He could not hear the sounds around him. He could only stand on the bridge and turn his head, and ordered through his vision: "Recharge again! Aim!"

Four Franco cannons have been fired for one round. If it were a thousand pounds of Franco cannon, it might still be able to make contributions in this battle, but this little guy with only a few hundred pounds is obviously not enough to see. He could barely shoot four or five hundred steps, and he couldn't even touch the shadow of the enemy warship. At present, only one fire cannon in Chen Mu's army can hit the enemy, but it is much more difficult to hit the enemy warship two miles away than to fail.

On the shore of the central army beside Xinjiang Bridge, Bai Yuanjie raised her sword and shouted: "Let Wu Duan's soldiers block the shore gap, and they cannot land on the south bank!"

Li Yayuan's soldiers were divided into different routes, and countless ships approached Xinjiang Bridge on the water. At the far side of the north bank, there were also dust caused by the march caused by the large army. The defenders could not know how many enemy troops were. The previous arrangements were all messed up.

The roar in Chen Mu's ear gradually weakened, and the voices around him slowly returned to his ears. The gunner held a torch and looked at him with a beating. Waiting for him to give the order, Chen Mu waved his hand and told him not to fire the cannon first. For a moment, the bridge was a little scary, and then the flag army's words became chaotic.

Sometimes the pre-war plan was useless. They had planned to defend the bridgehead and set up a formation to defend the Xinjiang Bridge with Chen Muqi's army. With both artillery and rocket support, it was only natural to repel several charges from the enemy.

But when Li Yayuan's military ships stopped in the river two or three miles away, covering the river, and smoke and dust rolled in the forest at the other side of the mountain, none of them knew where Li Yayuan would attack, so defense naturally became nonsense.

"Mr. Chen Qi, Qianhu asked you why you didn't fire a gun?"

The commander who had a small flag on his back rode his horse through the trench and wooden trench, went straight to the bridgehead and saluted while asking questions, holding the reins in his hand to prepare to get on the horse. Chen Mu didn't say much, and said, "Go back to Qianhu, you can't hit it accurately. If you are afraid that the cannon will be broken, you can hit it later."

Compared with the Fran machine cannon with poor airtightness, the airtight firing cannon made Chen Mu more worried about the explosion of the chamber. The cannon was stuffed with too much gunpowder and could not fire continuously. If this cannon was expected to destroy Li Yayuan's several ships, the cannon would be destroyed before it was sunk.

A few steps from a distance from the river, two or three hundred small boats were stacked in a large area. They couldn’t even hit you, so you might as well hit you!

"Each small flag is in charge of its own flag army, beware of the leads on the bridge, and don't let people break it!"

The small flags rushed to send orders. Shao Tingda and others used to be military households, but now they have the slightest authority in the official position. No one is vague when they speak harshly. Not long after, the bridge became quiet again.

Wei Balang has no official power. After this kid ordered people to silence, few people listened to him. He had already pulled out the knife and kept looking at the neck of the military household. He didn't know what he thought of and put the knife back into the sheath, holding the spear, and looking at the height of the military household, he nodded with satisfaction.

This dead child gestured at the neck with a spear tip expressionlessly, who would dare to speak!

On the north bank of Xinjiang Bridge, Chen Mu had the idea of ​​putting lead balls into the rockets and increasing the killing after seeing the rockets. He put a few kilograms of gunpowder into a wooden barrel and buried it on the ground, put a wooden board on it, sprinkle floating soil and place pebbles picked up on the shore, and wait for the enemy to attack the bridge to use local mines.

The artillery lead is too short and can only be buried on the ground beside the "landmine". The exposed ones are dug out and the fire paths are spread to more than twenty steps under the stone railings by the bridge. The gunpowder is spilled out more than a mine, which makes Chen Junye feel very distressed.

The fire path was covered with wooden pieces, and floating soil was sprinkled on it. As long as the enemy could not see it before charging, it would not be broken behind it.

"Mangzi asked your people to move to the other side of the bridge. Fu Yuan rode a horse and took two people to the other side of the bridge to stare at the mountain road. When he found the enemy's situation, he quickly returned it." Chen Muxin was intimidated, and looked at the fleet parked in the river several miles away and frowned, saying, "I think the ship is a scare. Li Yayuan must want to hit Xinjiang Bridge!"

The rebels had no high-end goods, and the two or three hundred ships parked in the river were just similar in shape to the fishing boats of the Manliao Camp. It is even possible that Li Yayuan also had a group of Dan people who could not live on their own and participated in the rebellion. The ship could only bear a few people, at most more than ten ships. The full battle was that this navy army was less than ten people. It was a dream to break through the defense line from the shore just by doing this.

Of course, it is also possible that Li Yayuan did not know that Xinjiang Town had been captured. His warships originally wanted to strengthen Xinjiang Town to guard the necessary path, otherwise it would be unreasonable that he had sent so few people to come.

But the chance he didn't know was very small. Now all the defenders were focused on the fleet two or three miles away. Even Chen Mu's flag army turned their guns toward the river. If the enemy suddenly came from the other side of the bridge, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Will these bird-bearing scoundrels fight?" Shao Tingda sent two flag troops to the other side. When he came back, he carried a knife and cursed everyone's voice. He stepped forward and complained to Chen Mubai: "Brother Mu, if you keep watching like this, the flag director will be in a bad spirit until the evening. How can these foolish dicks be beaten to prevent them?"

What Shao Tingda said was reasonable. The preparations they made were for the enemy to attack with great momentum. They fought back majestic, but never thought about the current situation. The enemy was not in a hurry to attack, but they were in a hurry to defend.

Chen Mu learned a long time ago that "one-stop work, then decline, and three-death". It seems that the solution to this fatigue strategy is either to stand up or to relax, and there is no other way.

At this moment, Bai Yuanjie sent someone to send an order, saying: "Military soldiers should be on the wheel of defense, keep a close eye on the enemy, and the rest should take a break."

"The long bow flag duty is in charge, and the rest of the people sit in place, and the armor must not leave their bodies, and the soldiers must not leave their hands." Chen Mu put down the stone in his heart and ordered the flag army: "Arson, the gunner loads the firearms with ammunitions, tie the fuse rope to his hands, and do not be careless!"

Not long after, the baggage soldiers sent white rice for the soldiers to eat. There was no need to think about meat and vegetables. Each person had a little sauce and some hot soup. If they could eat it, no one was worried about whether they were good or not. As the war approached, even Chen Mu's soup rice was no different from the flag army.

The flag army, which had long been hungry, sat in two rows by relying on the stone railing. Chen Mu had just held the bowl and slapped it into his mouth and didn't have time to swallow it. He saw Fu Yuan riding a horse and running back even with the net towel on his head. He shouted loudly toward this side through Xinjiang Bridge.

"What did he shout?"

Chen Mu couldn't hear clearly, and threw Shao Tingda's job aside, held the knife and stood up and said, "It seems like we are going to run up the mountain?"

For more than ten minutes, Fu Yuan stepped on the bridge. Seeing his panic, Chen Mu could finally hear what he was calling. Fu Yuan turned around and pointed at the opposite mountain and shouted: "General Flag, they have cannons, and there are cannons on the mountain!"

The coldness rose from the tailbone to the Tianling Cap. Chen Mu looked in the direction pointed by Fu Yuan and saw two balls of fire and smoke rising in the forest halfway up the mountain. Then he heard a faint loud noise.

boom!
