Troubled Times: Start with 800 Dead Soldiers

But obviously, these bandits did not expect to suddenly encounter resistance, and the two sides started fighting.

Zheng Tianshou waved his hand: "Brothers, come on, kill them, and rob them of all their money!"

On the other side, Jinmaohu Yanshun had already ordered his soldiers to place carriages in Ruyi Restaurant, and set fire to the grain and other places.

Look at the fire outside the restaurant!

At this moment, Yun Tianbiao couldn't suppress the joy in his heart. He was extremely excited and bravely stepped forward and climbed the stairs.

"Pu Chi" knife. Killed a soldier responsible for defense.

However, the stairway was narrow. Even though Yun Tianbiao was very skilled in martial arts and the Qingfeng Mountain bandits were not vegetarians, they could not fly up to the second floor even if they tried their best.

Although these bandits were battle-hardened, the soldiers responsible for protecting the restaurant still fought to the death.

Even the waiters in the restaurant assisted the soldiers in guarding with carrying poles and kitchen knives.

Tao Zongcai also woke up in confusion.

He had no weapons and, like his brother Tao Zongwang, both used shovels as weapons.

While Zhu Gui directed the soldiers and clerks to resist, he ordered people to go to the top floor to light a beacon fire to report the news.

Seeing more and more bandits rushing in, the defensive guys were almost overwhelmed!

Tao Zongcai was anxious. He saw the right opportunity and his eyes rested on Zheng Tianshou, the white-faced man who was killing the soldiers.

At this moment, Zheng Tianshou was on the second floor directing the minions to attack the building.

Tao Zongcai shouted: "Young boy, eat my shovel!"

After Tao Zongcai finished speaking, he waved his shovel, jumped down from the second floor, and struck straight at the white-faced gentleman Zheng Tianshou!

Tao Zongcai's shovel struck with the force, and Zheng Tianshou saw a huge black shadow coming from the sky, and subconsciously moved the steel knife in his hand into the air to block it.

"boom!"

Accompanied by a deafening loud noise, Zheng Tianshou was naturally beyond his reach.

Who can stop Tao Zongcai's huge body and huge kinetic energy when he jumps from the second floor!

Tao Zongcai used a shovel to break off the steel knife and scratched Zheng Tianshou's body along his ear!

"My ears!"

One of the ears of the fair-faced man Zheng Tianshou was cut off by Tao Zongcai!

Tao Zongcai, who was taking advantage of the momentum to pursue, took advantage of the situation and struck straight at Zheng Tianshou, the white-faced man!

This shovel shot almost killed Zheng Tianshou.

Tao Zongcai, who was born with supernatural powers, wanted to kill Zheng Tianshou!

Yun Tianbiao hurriedly stepped forward, stood up and stepped on the chair, and then kicked Tao Zongcai, sending Tao Zongcai back a few steps.

Seeing that his kick failed to hit the opponent, the enraged Yun Tianbiao roared and thought about it again. Naturally, Tao Zongcai, who was born with supernatural power, could not let him succeed.

Brandishing the shovel, he ran again and fought against Yun Tianbiao!

See Tao Zongcai has achieved the central flowering!

Zhu Gui also drew his sword and led his men: "Charge, kill him!"

"Fight them!"

"Fight!"

Tao Zongcai even danced with the shovel like a tiger!

He ran straight towards Yun Tianbiao and hit him with a shovel from the side.

Good guy, this Yuntian Biao is a military commander after all. When he saw the opponent slashing at him desperately, he naturally dodged and tried to block it with his own weapon!

"clang!"

There was a loud noise that made his jaw numb!

Yun Tianbiao couldn't help but be surprised secretly: "What a great strength!"

Seeing that Tao Zongcai was so big and powerful, he couldn't help but feel a little angry about the robbery.

In the courtyard, the fire was soaring into the sky!

In the wine shop, there were fights and shouts.

Thinking that the opportunity has been lost, if I don't leave, I may not be able to get out.

Yun Tianbiao was about to play dirty, but with a flash of cold light, he suddenly flew out a dart from his sleeve and pierced Tao Zongcai's throat!

The gun is easy to hide, and the dark arrow is hard to prevent.

Tao Zongcai immediately dodged the shovel upwards. The dart hit the shovel, and the metallic sound it made was shocking!

Yuntianbiao saw the right opportunity and stabbed Tao Zongcai while Tao Zongcai was hiding from his dart.

Tao Zongcai took a few steps back, covering his abdomen, and blood suddenly burst out.

Fortunately, Zhu Gui, who had quick eyesight and quick hands, jumped forward to block Yuntian Biao's attack, grabbed Tao Zongcai and asked, "Brother Zongcai, how are you?"

Tao Zongcai clutched his injured abdomen and gritted his teeth, "It's okay, let's fight them!"

Tao Zongcai, who was wielding a shovel, threw the shovel in his hand with all his strength, which made Yuntian Biao step back in fright.

Taking advantage of this moment, Tao Zongcai used all his strength to lift up an octagonal table and hit the bandits who rushed into the house with all his strength.

Seeing that he could no longer take advantage, Yun Tianbiao hurriedly ordered: "Retreat, retreat!"

In the distance, the sound of cavalry came closer and closer. Since Wei Wei Chi, Sun Li and others took over the training history of the Dengzhou Guards, they were naturally of the same mind as Su Xia and others.

Hearing that something was going on here, Lieutenant General Chi Sunxin immediately led more than 100 cavalrymen and rushed straight to the dock!

Far away in Salmon Island, the meeting hall was brightly lit, and Su Xia and others were still up all night discussing the development of the navy on Salmon Island.

Su Xia had already begun to consider the future development of Ping Haijun. He looked at the map of the Song Dynasty and said:

"In the future, it will be like unifying Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangning.

The strategic role of the Ping Navy is mainly to block waterways. In the Jiangnan area with crisscrossed water networks, it controls all roads. The enemy cannot supply and maneuver, but its own people can come and go freely and deploy troops to land by water at will.

Now, we have three main types of warships. The first is the heavy gunship (Chaoyong), which provides long-range fire support. However, it is difficult to pass through inland rivers! The second type is a medium-sized warship, equipped with powerful cannons, and also has a large number of muskets and archers. It can also join gangs to seize ships. This will be our focus of development in the future.

The third one is the small warship, the three men of the Ruan family that we have recently recruited. The small boat led by these three brothers is flexible and maneuverable in combat, and it is extremely fast in a short distance (because it is a human-powered rowing assault on a calm inland river). Medium-sized warships can be used as the center, and can be surrounded and harassed, or multiple warships can forcibly seize enemy warships, and carry out the wolf-to-tiger tactic. "

"But there is a problem. Nowadays, the main way of fighting for small boat soldiers is to throw pots of fire around, trying to set fire, or to climb onto the opponent's ship and engage in hand-to-hand combat. In this regard, whether it is Liao or Song, they can have warships of equal combat power."

Su Xia nodded:

"So I say that the strongest and most critical weapon is the cannon! If the cannon is not good, it is difficult to win, and it is almost impossible to win. Fortunately, the new Weiyuan Cannon invented by Ling Zhen is our big killer!

According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Yu and Liang said at that time that crossbows were the most important in water battles. Now hundreds of years have passed, and they still fight with crossbows. It’s time for them to try the power of our cannons! "
