My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 233 Ambition Shattered
At this moment, Li Cang's heart was filled with fear and jealousy. Why didn't Annan have such a powerful and sharp firearm? Once Annan had this firearm, he would be invincible!
When he thought of this, the fear in Li Cang's heart was immediately replaced by ambition and desire. With Yan Wen's death, Mansa Tea Mountain was without a chieftain who ruled it, and the power in this area was completely destroyed.

However, he had other ideas. He wanted to obtain the firearms used by the Ming army!

If we can obtain those powerful firearms, bring them back to Annan, and let domestic craftsmen imitate them to equip the army, then by then, the Ming army will not be a threat!
Hearing what Ruan Chengping said, he took a deep breath and said, "Uncle Ruan, we don't have to be too afraid. Although the Ming army's firearms seem invincible, they also have weaknesses!"

Ruan Chengping was stunned and asked quickly, "Could it be that Master Li has figured out something?"

Li Cang sneered: "Although firearms are powerful, they are also afraid of water. Now Laos is about to enter the rainy season. Once the Ming army intervenes, what use will firearms be in the pouring rain?"

Ruan Chengping also thought it made sense. Li Cang said, "However, the flaws do not outweigh the merits. If this firearm can be used by Annan, then Annan will be invincible in the world!"

After hearing what Li Cang said, Ruan Chengping also became greedy. He had seen the power of firearms, and if he said he was not tempted, he would be deceiving himself.

"But how can we get the firearm and bring it back to Annan?" Li Cang pondered.

Ruan Chengping suddenly whispered something into Li Cang's ear, and Li Cang immediately smiled.

"Uncle Ruan, you really are worthy of being the wisest general under my father's command!"

"Haha, Mr. Li, thank you for the compliment. We are all working for the Prime Minister, it's my duty." Although Ruan Chengping was humble with a swollen mouth, there was a proud look in his eyes.

The battle was still going on. A large number of Yan Wen's private soldiers had been killed or wounded, but they still could not get close to the bamboo building at all. Yan Han's arm was also injured by a bullet and was bleeding profusely.

The body of his father Yan Wen had long been covered by new corpses, and the ground was flowing with blood, like a cultivation hell.

At this moment, the angry and arrogant expression on his face had disappeared, replaced by deep fear and despair.

A mere eleven Ming soldiers caused most of their casualties. This is simply too unbelievable and unimaginable!

Are these Ming troops all devils, using evil magic?
Damn Ming army, damn Han dogs!
At this time, the remaining private soldiers no longer had the courage to continue charging. Even though Yan Han swung his knife to kill two people in an attempt to set an example, it was of no avail.

At this time, he only had about 20 to 30 private soldiers left. Just when he was at a loss for what to do, Li Cang shouted from behind:
"Yanhan, stop charging. Go and gather all the villagers and have them attack the Ming army to avenge the chieftain. The Ming army has limited bullets after all. They can't kill everyone in the village!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Han was overjoyed. In his eyes, the mountain people in the village were slaves. The death of a few slaves did not matter. As long as he could chop off the heads of those Ming court officials, it would be enough!

He asked his private soldiers to guard around the bamboo building to prevent the Ming army from escaping, and then turned and ran in another direction.

Li Cang showed a sinister smile on his face, and asked Yan Han to gather the villagers to die, which was Ruan Chengping's vicious plan.

Yanhan has no way back. He must do everything he can to kill the officials of the Ming court and then start a rebellion. Otherwise, the only outcome that awaits him is death.

No, it is more terrifying than a dead end. What Yanhan is doing now is no different from rebellion. In the Ming Dynasty law, rebellion is a crime of "treason and high treason", and the nine generations of the clan will be executed!
Therefore, the only thing Yanhan could do was to go all the way down the path of rebellion. Moreover, his father had been shot dead by the Ming army, which was an absolute mortal enemy!
As for whether the rebellion was successful or not, it had nothing to do with Li Cang.

What they wanted to see was that these brainless and ambitious local chieftains could create as much trouble as possible for the Ming Dynasty and delay the Ming army. At this time, Sun Er and others in the bamboo building saw that the private soldiers in the village no longer attacked, but hid aside, and they were also a little confused. Are they ready to surrender?
This shouldn't be the case. Attacking the Ming army is already a capital crime, and they also plotted to destroy the projector, which is an even more serious crime. They won't give up so easily.

Is there some conspiracy going on?
Are you planning to attack with fire?

Sun Er rejected this idea. The village was full of bamboo buildings. Once a fire started, the entire camp would be burned down and no one would be able to escape. Besides, if they wanted to attack with fire, they would have used it just now.

I don't know what they are doing, but we have to be prepared for the enemy's fire attack. Sun Er instructed his men to closely observe the enemy's movements and shoot immediately if anyone shows up!

"Sun Xiaoqi, why don't we just go ahead and kill them!" someone suggested at this time.

Zhao Hanzhong also thought it made sense, and said, "That's right, Sun Xiaoqi, if the enemy loses their mind and uses such a cruel method as fire attack, we will not be able to escape death in this bamboo building. Anyway, the firearms in your hands are extremely sharp, so why don't we go down and take the initiative to attack!"

Sun Er thought about it and felt that what Zhao Hanzhong said made sense, so he ordered the three people to guard the rock dragon, projector and other equipment in the bamboo building, and at the same time provide cover for them from above, and then took the others down the bamboo building.

At this time, the private soldiers guarding around the bamboo building could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The Ming army's firearms had brought them a great sense of oppression. Looking at the corpses all over the ground, they couldn't help but tremble.

It was the first time they felt how terrifying waiting for death was!
However, at this moment, they saw in despair that the Ming army actually came downstairs!
At this point, no one dared to face the Ming army, and they fled in all directions like birds and beasts.

Sun Er and others raised their guns and started firing. "Bang bang bang bang", the crisp sound of gunfire rang out again in the silent night!
Just when Li Cang and Ruan Chengping were planning how to return to Annan as quickly as possible after obtaining the muskets, they were horrified to find that the Ming army had come downstairs!
The two of them couldn't help but gasp. They didn't have the courage to stay any longer and were about to run back in a hurry, but they saw Yan Han coming towards them.

And behind Yan Han, there was a large group of people following him.

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. It seemed that Yanhan had gathered the villagers.

"Yanhan, hurry up, the Ming army is coming downstairs. Take this opportunity to surround them quickly so that they can't run away!" Li Cang couldn't help but shout.

However, Yan Han did not say anything. Li Cang felt a little strange. When Yan Han walked in, he saw that he had a bruised face and a look of unwillingness and dejection.

What's going on here?
At this moment, Li Cang and Ruan Chengping only heard earth-shaking shouts from the huge crowd behind him.

"Annan's spies are right there, let's catch them!"

"Catch the Annan spy!"

"Go ahead, kill them!"

When Li Cang saw this situation, he was stunned. What was going on? Why were those villagers going crazy? Could it be that they didn't even listen to the orders of the chieftain's son?
Ruan Chengping was so frightened that his legs and feet went limp. It took him a long time to say, "Master Li, we are finished!"

Just when the two were in despair, Dao Han led the villagers, holding various hoes, sickles and other farm tools, and rushed towards the two and surrounded them!

Li Cang and Ruan Chengping closed their eyes in despair. This time, they were completely finished!
