Chapter 28 The Grumpy Army Chief

At the corner of the wooden room, there was a square hollow, inside which was a stone step leading to the ground, and a gloomy light could be seen inside.

"My lord, I'll go down and have a look first." Han Gang summoned up his courage and said.

"Let's go down together, hold the torches" after Xiao Chuan finished speaking, all the Yellow Turban soldiers and refugees took out their weapons.

Ogawa took a deep breath, and several yellow scarf soldiers next to him clung to him in case of danger and could block him from a fatal blow.

Walking down the stone steps, the air inside suddenly became cold, with a musty smell in the air.

The stone steps are not high, only more than 20 steps. When I came inside, there was a rather large basement inside. I don't know how these bandits built it.

"Bandits and thieves, I will never give in. You don't have to come again. Get lost." came an old voice with a rich tone.

Hearing these strange words, Xiao Chuan and the others looked over, but it was an iron cage, and inside the iron cage were four people in white clothes.

Three young men followed an old man. The old man was in his fifties, his hair was a little gray, but he seemed to be in good spirits.

On the other hand, the three young men beside them had a decadent look on their faces.

The old man looked at Xiao Chuan and the others, and said coldly: "You goddamn bandits, after I die, the old man, you will not feel better, and I will not let you go in the Ming Dynasty."

The old man regarded Xiao Chuan and the others as bandits, and Wang Youcai explained, "Don't shout, old man, the bandits have already been wiped out by us."

Hearing what Wang Youcai said, the three young men immediately stood up with excitement on their faces, but the old man was a little strange. He glanced at Xiao Chuan and the others, and said disdainfully: "I see that you are dressed like a group of people, old man." Refugees, how can we fight bandits, how can we eliminate this group of bandits?"

Hearing the old man's contemptuous words, Xiao Chuan and the others didn't want to be as familiar with the old man, but Wang Youcai said angrily: "Old man, listen carefully, I am a student of the Ming Dynasty, a scholar, not a refugee."

The young man who was locked inside knew the old man's temper, and quickly apologized to Xiao Chuan and the others.

After the old man was released, the old man knew the ins and outs of Xiao Chuan and the others, stroked his beard, looked at Wang Youcai and said disdainfully: "Aren't they a group of refugees, but luck is better, when the bandits come out."

The first of the three young men quickly dropped the old man's arm, looked apologetic to Xiaochuan and others, and said with fists in his arms: "I'm sorry, my benefactors, my master has a weird temper. Don't take it offence. I, Wang Dazhu, am here." Thanks a few benefactors, these two are my two younger brothers, Wang Erzhu, Wang Sanzhu"

Xiao Chuan greeted the three of them one by one with fists cupped, the old man snorted coldly, glanced at Xiao Chuan, and said indifferently: "The old man thanked you here" before walking out.

After watching the old man walk out, Wang Dazhu sighed and said, "I'm sorry, my master has always had a bad temper. He's a very good person, but he can't control himself when he talks!"

"Hmph, I think you are much better than your master." Wang Youcai nodded, very much like a barbarian boy.

Xiao Chuan asked strangely: "You say he is your master, but you don't know what craftsmen you are?"

"So we were Yang Shuai's artillery battalion," Wang Dazhu sighed.

"Could it be Yang Zhaoji, Yang Shuai!" Han Gang's expression changed and he said in surprise.

"Exactly!" Wang Dazhu was a little proud, and said sadly: "We were defeated that day, and the Paoying brothers basically ran away. Master and I fled to the mountains, but we didn't expect that every bandit would stop us. One of the bandits recognized the three of us. People, they don't know how to use the cannon, and want us to help him, my master would rather die than, so they locked us four, master and apprentice, in this place."

"I didn't expect this old guy to be a tough guy," Wang Youcai said with great admiration.

Xiao Chuan took a deep look at the direction where the old man left just now, but he didn't expect that the old man was actually an artilleryman. Artillery is a technical branch in this day and age. If no one taught him, he would never be able to learn it. Xiao Chuan couldn't help thinking of recruiting ,
"There's a cannon here," Wang Youcai said in surprise.

Several people looked quickly, and there was a black cannon in the dark basement. The cannon was not big, maybe two meters long, and the barrel was as thick as a small bucket. The reason is that it has rusted a little. The cannon is placed on a wooden frame with two rows of small wheels around it.

There is a wooden box beside it, which contains projectiles, but they are solid iron eggs, and gunpowder.

Xiaochuan laughed. There was actually an artillery piece, and it looked like it could still be used. Now he was making a lot of money.

"It's the Hongyi six-pound cannon." Han Gang's eyes flashed, and he showed a smile and said: "This is easy to run and can be used in field battles. It is also a sharp weapon when attacking a city. It's a good thing."

A group of people walked out of the basement with the artillery.
