Chapter 238: Invading the Bandit's Nest

According to Li Guodong's plan, Wang Quan will arrive with a 500-man guard and 50 Li Guodong's 50 people at night. Fighting a water war is the business of the Zheng family army, but going ashore to fight is Li Guodong's business.

Last night, Wang Quan set out on a boat with 500 guards and 50 Yebuse. It is expected that when the Zheng family navy began to bombard the city, the guards and Yebuse could arrive at the battlefield.

The fleet approached the Wutong Mountain Village Lake, and ten Zheng Family sailors with the best water quality jumped out of the lake. It was already October of the lunar calendar, and the water temperature was cold, but for these pirates who had already been used to working hard at sea, swimming in the cold water for a short time was nothing.

The water ghost tied the mines to the underwater stakes and returned to the ship with the fuse.

"The mines are tied up, and the brothers are all back, so you can detonate them." Zheng Zhilong pointed at the number of people and found that all the ten water ghosts sent out were back, so he ordered the fire.

Several soldiers picked up the fuse and lit the fuse.

Standing on the big ship, you can see the burning Mars quickly shortening into the water. When Mars enters the water and makes people burn, you can see the fire light spreading under the water towards the underwater stakes, which looks like stars at the bottom of the water. Ten fuses burn at the same time, and ten Mars in the water run towards the lake.

"It's really amazing!" Zheng Zhibao exclaimed.

Not long after, I saw the burning Mars under the water disappear, which burned to the end of the fuse. Only a series of dull explosions were heard from the bottom of the water, and rows of continuous soaring water columns rose from the water surface. Huge waves rushed towards the Zheng family's fleet, and the big and small boats were shaking continuously.

When the water surface calmed down again, you could see broken pieces of wood floating on the water surface, and the underwater stakes in this large area were blown into pieces.

Seeing that the underwater stakes were blown into pieces, Zheng Zhibao immediately ordered the anchor to set sail. The fleet advanced more than 100 steps forward and included the village wall within the range of his Flang machine cannon.

Hearing the explosion outside, the bandits in the village were in chaos.

"The official dog is here! Come and meet the enemy!"

"Has the official dog logged in?"

"Have they attacked the village?"

In the darkness, the thieves rushed out of the barracks in a mess and ran up to the village wall. A row of torches were lit on the wall of Wutong Mountain Village, and the thieves were slamming the torches to see what happened.

"Fire the cannon!" Zheng Zhibao ordered.

The Flang machine cannons at the head and tail of the ten warships spewed out flames, and ten solid shells roared on the walls of the village. The gravel of the village walls made of pebbles and mud flew everywhere. The bandits standing at the top of the Tucheng city screamed and fell down.

Immediately afterwards, the Folang machine cannon at the stern of the boat roared again, and a row of shells hit the wall, causing cracks to appear in the village. None of the water bandits on the top of the city dared to stand on it, and all escaped to avoid the shells.

"I'm afraid this hundred-pound Franc cannon will not be able to break the wall for a month, right?" Li Guodong asked.

The shells of the 100-pound Folang machine cannon weigh less than one pound. To be honest, the power of a single shell is only a little larger than that of the Jiutou heavy musket. The advantage is that the speed of fire is fast. But what is the Jiutou? That is a cob, and the Futou machine is a cannon.

The caravan guards and Yebusuo team led by Wang Quan took the fishermen's boats and rushed for a night. After hearing the roaring cannons in front of him from afar, Wang Quan anxiously said to the boss of the ship: "Old man, can you hurry up? The navy has begun to suppress bandits, we have to hurry up!"

"It's coming soon!" Boat Bound Avenue.

More than fifty fishing boats rushed towards the direction of the sound of cannons. When they were about to turn with the Zheng family Navy, it began to dawn. The lake was covered with a layer of mist. The smoke of gunfire from the Folang machine cannon fired and merged with the mist. The thieves in the village could not see clearly the situation on the lake, and could only see the continuous spray of fire from the fog.

The Folang machine cannons took turns firing, and several cannons made the barrels almost turn red, and the gun guns were finished. So the sailors rushed to the lake water and poured them on the cannons, and several other gunners loaded the guns.

Zheng Zhilong's navy also adopted a new type of sub-gun with iron core and copper shell. Such sub-guns have much better sealing properties and are not prone to leaking air, and the power of the shells has also increased a lot.

"General, Manager Wang's fleet has arrived!" A navy soldier reported to Zheng Zhibao.

"Okay, prepare for it. Twenty cannons will fire in a row and open the village gate!" Zheng Zhibao gave the order.

The fishermen rowed their oars and rowed their oars, using sails and manpower together. The fishing boats that Wang Quan and his friends were riding soon joined the navy.

Li Guodong jumped on Wang Quan's fishing boat. He had already replaced his body with the exquisite armor seized from the Later Jin army and wore a phoenix-winged helmet. When he walked to Wang Quan, Li Guodong said, "Brothers, are you all ready?"

"Okay!" Wang Quan took the lead and shouted.

"Okay, then prepare to attack! Remember, we are water bandits, not dealing with Jiannu. Why can this water bandit survive until now? They are tricky and come ashore in a while, be careful of the traps of the mechanism!"

"clear!"

"Okay, then let me go ashore!" Li Guodong drew his knife and pointed to the shore.

Fifty fishing boats leaned up to the shore, and the Zheng family navy fired fires volleys. The village gate suddenly shatters and turns into a pile of wood chips and pieces of wood, and they fall to the ground.

Li Guodong did not rush directly into the blasting gap, but ordered the spearmen to stab the ground with spears from time to time to prevent trapping the mechanism.

The cunning Cheng Jikong did set up a trap outside the village gate. If Li Guodong and the others rushed forward, they would just fall into the trap. Several spearmen poked the ground a few times, and the ground in front collapsed, and a deep pit appeared, full of sharpened bamboo.

"It's so dangerous. If you fall in, you'll die!" Wang Quanxin said with lingering fear. He admired his boss even more.

The team carefully walked around the edge of the trap. There was a trap next to it. A hole was pierced by a spearmen on the trap. Then several spearmen used spearmen to pick out the bamboo mats and soil covering the above, revealing a deep pit below.

There are just a few hundred steps from the lake to the entrance of the village, and there are actually four traps!

Seeing that his trap was invalid, Cheng Jikong cursed in his heart: What a powerful official dog! He actually saw through my trap!

These water bandits were not large in scale. If they hadn't acted cautiously and had many tricks, they would have been destroyed by nearby officers and soldiers long ago.

"Brothers!" Cheng Jikong shouted, "The official dog is here to siege us! If he succeeds, we will never have a way to survive! If you don't want to die, let me kill the official dog!"

The bandits howled, and these water bandits all had a sense of blood and courage. Most of them were farmers and fishermen who were forced to go to the forefront. However, officials forced the people to rebel, and the imperial court's oppression had exceeded their patience limit. These most honest and responsible farmers would become bloodthirsty madmen and take revenge on society wildly.

A few days ago, more than 1,000 water bandits were eliminated by Li Guodong's plan to lure the enemy, and there were more than 2,000 people in the mountain village. Seeing that there were not many officers and soldiers landing, the bandits stared at Li Guodong and the others in a mess.
