Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God
Chapter 503 Yuan Chengzhi Founds a Nation (3)
In an instant, a large number of men poured out of their homes from all directions. Some of them held sharp swords, some held heavy knives, and some carried homemade spears. Everyone's face was filled with determination and courage.
Determined to defend their country, these men quickly ran towards the city gate where the rumbling sound of cannons was heard.
Among the crowd, a young woman followed closely a middle-aged man. She was He Ti Shou.
She looked up at the man beside her anxiously and asked, "Master, are we going to defend the city too?"
The one who was called Master was Yuan Chengzhi. He was once the leader of the martial arts world in the thirteen provinces of China and served as the general of the Dashun Kingdom. He was a veteran of the battlefield and was accustomed to wars. Deep in his heart, he had an innate passion for fighting.
Hearing his apprentice's question, he nodded without hesitation and responded loudly: "Go, since we are here and encounter such a thing, if we can help Brunei, we must help!"
After saying this, the master and disciple quickened their pace and blended into the crowd heading towards the city gate.
At the East City Gate, flames of war were raging and the air was filled with smoke.
The British artillery roared like a beast, bombarding the city gate continuously in three stages.
The interval between each round of artillery fire was less than half a minute. The dense and fierce artillery fire was terrifying.
At this moment, the city gate was in chaos. A group of British were pushing a huge siege hammer and smashing it hard against the city gate. Every impact made a deafening sound, as if it was going to tear the entire city gate apart.
Inside the city, the atmosphere was also extremely tense. Thousands of men from the city's population stepped forward, holding all kinds of weapons and gathering tightly on the streets near the city gate.
Everyone's face was filled with determination and resoluteness. Once the city gates were breached, they would immediately engage in a life-and-death fight with the enemies that rushed into the city.
Among the crowd, the most conspicuous person was the Brunei King.
He was wearing a suit of glittering golden armor, like a god of war descending to earth.
Beside him, there are three hundred loyal guards guarding him.
These guards all had serious expressions, holding muskets tightly in their hands, and had been lined up in three neat rows.
The muzzles of their guns were all pointed towards the city gate, and they were on high alert. If any enemy dared to approach, they would be dealt a fatal blow.
At this moment, Yuan Chengzhi and Ti Shou climbed up the city wall.
They carefully avoided the city gate section which was heavily attacked by artillery fire.
Looking around, I saw that the British troops under the city were fully prepared. They were organized into 30 square formations of 100 men each, like a pack of wolves waiting to attack. Once the city gate was breached, they would launch a fierce attack on the city like a tide.
Two thousand meters away from the city wall, there stood a well-arranged artillery position of the British army. The high ground was strategically located and easy to defend but difficult to attack, providing the British army with an excellent shooting angle and field of vision.
Yuan Chengzhi stared at the artillery position in the distance and thought to himself: If I want to win this arduous battle, I must first destroy this terrifying artillery position in one fell swoop.
Only in this way can the soldiers defending the city stand firm on the city wall, resist the fierce attack of the enemy, and protect the peace of the city and the people in it.
He turned to look at his heroic disciple He Ti Shou, with a gleam of determination in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Ti Shou, follow me and jump off the city wall. Today we must completely destroy the British artillery position!"
"Yes!" He Tishou answered without hesitation, his voice clear and firm. The master and the apprentice looked at each other, understood each other, and then jumped at the same time, jumping off the high city wall like two nimble eagles.
After landing, the two of them flashed and instantly displayed their unique and wonderful body movements. They were agile and swift, like ghosts, running quickly on the edge of the battlefield filled with smoke and the sound of killing. Their speed was so fast that it was difficult to catch their figures.
Soon, Yuan Chengzhi and He Ti Shou successfully arrived at the rear of the artillery position.
Looking closely, each huge and powerful cannon was operated by five well-trained British soldiers.
The entire artillery position was crowded with people, roughly estimated to be about 500 to 600 British soldiers. These soldiers were neatly arranged in three rows, each row was equipped with more than 30 powerful artillery pieces, and each artillery piece was about six meters apart from each other, forming a strict and orderly artillery square.
Yuan Chengzhi reached out and took out a well-made thunder bomb from his arms, carefully handed it to He Tishou, and whispered:
"Disciple, I will go left, and you will go right. Let's split up and attack the gunpowder barrels in the last row of artillery as quickly as possible. Remember not to linger in the battle, and make a quick decision!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two men's eyes met, and they reached a tacit understanding in an instant. Then they rushed away like lightning, rushing straight towards the British artillery formation at lightning speed.
When they were only twenty meters away from the artillery formation, their arms shook violently, and a black shadow streaked across the sky like a meteor, shooting straight towards the gunpowder barrel.
It turned out to be a powerful thunder bomb!
However, the two did not show any intention of stopping, and even without waiting for the first thunder bomb to explode, they continued to advance forward like ghosts.
In the blink of an eye, several more thunder bombs were fired, accurately hitting the gunpowder barrels next to several other groups of artillery.
All I heard was a loud, earth-shattering noise: "Boom, boom, boom, boom—"
In an instant, gunpowder barrels exploded one after another, and raging flames shot straight into the sky, as if they were going to burn the entire sky.
The gunners who were operating the artillery had no time to react. With a deafening explosion, both the people and the artillery were thrown high into the air by the powerful impact force.
At this moment, the raging flames produced by the explosion quickly spread, like a ferocious fire dragon, ruthlessly rushing towards more gunpowder barrels in front.
For a moment, the sounds of "boom boom boom..." came one after another, resounding between heaven and earth.
In an instant, the originally strict and orderly British artillery positions had turned into a horrific sea of fire, with billowing smoke and raging flames.
Such a huge noise naturally alarmed everyone on both sides who were fighting fiercely.
The British were completely at a loss in the face of this sudden change. The artillery positions in the rear disappeared in the blink of an eye, which threw their troops into great chaos.
On the other side, the Brunei king heard the explosions coming from this side and hurriedly climbed up the city gate to watch. When he saw that the enemy's artillery position had been blown beyond recognition, he couldn't help but cheer loudly in excitement.
