Grenadiers, a special branch of the army active in Europe in the 17th century, these heroic soldiers who threw grenades and incendiary grenades were once the kings of the battlefield, and even the people were proud of them.
At that time, gunpowder technology was not mature, and all powerful grenades were as large as small shells, and the heavy volume was not something that ordinary soldiers could throw, so only the strongest soldiers in Europe at that time could play the role of grenadiers. Coupled with the fact that the grenadiers had to get close to the enemy and attack at the shortest possible distance, this tested the courage of the fighters even more.
Gradually, the grenadiers became synonymous with the terms 'strong' and 'heroic' in the minds of the people. Later, due to the development of gunpowder technology, the grenade became smaller and smaller, and finally matured enough to be easily thrown by every soldier, which ended the history of grenadiers.
The grenadiers shouted by Xiao Letian today can be said to be the most luxurious special forces in human history, damn it, they are all high-ranking green forest masters. More than a dozen of the guards, who were excellent at light skills, shredded their thin coats and exposed bamboo grenades tied to their waists, swished up to the shops on both sides one by one, flying on the roof.
No movie montage effect can describe the eerie scene at that time, more than a dozen strong men actually flew in the air with a feeling of lightness, as if floating in the air. The incense burning in his hands was bright in the wind, and bamboo grenades were on standby.
The grenadiers soon flew directly in front of the horse team, and without saying a word, the silent warriors took out their grenades and lit them and threw them into the horse team, and the explosion occurred in an instant, and the billowing smoke rose as high as two stories.
"What is this?" Jiu Shuai was stunned at the time, because he only heard the dull sound of explosions and the faint light of fire, which was not the light and shadow effect of normal explosives at all.
Before Xiao Letian could answer, more than 20 bamboo grenades were thrown into the horse team in an instant, and thick smoke billowed on the long street, and the sound of violent coughing and the screams of the war horses were connected.
"Ahem, ahem...... Chilli flakes...... cough cough cough ...... Choke me to death......"
"You ...... This lack of virtue is smoking...... cough cough cough ......"
"Ahh......h cough cough cough ...... My horse was shocked......"
At this time, everyone realized that Xiao Letian was not using ordinary explosives at all, and these bamboo grenades were actually stuffed with chili noodles and pepper noodles. When the smoke rises, even if people can tolerate it, the war horse will definitely not be able to endure this irritation.
The galloping war horse originally had a large lung capacity, and between one breath and one inhale, there were two or two chili pepper noodles rushing into the lungs. In an instant, more than 100 Mongolian horses went crazy, jumping all over the ground with joy, and they didn't run forward, and the people who hit left and right turned on their backs.
"Hahaha! Cool...... Xiao Letian excitedly jumped and shouted, "Fried, give me a fried one!" Eagle, I still have three here, give you a good time...... Hahaha"
Xiao Letian was like a child who had succeeded in his conspiracy, pointing at Ma Bao, who was messy in the wind in the distance, and scolded, "Stupid, you cow, mobilize the horse team to hit me? Isn't this more than a hundred pigs you transferred?"
Jiu Shuai looked at Xiao Letian helplessly, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Luck, your trick is too dangerous, that is, it can be used here, if you go to the battlefield, this kind of cleverness is useless at all......"
After all, Zeng Guoquan was born as a soldier, and he was a ghost at a glance. This pepper grenade attack can only work in this relatively confined environment. First of all, the weather is good today, there is no wind, no rain and no fog, and the dry air is conducive to the vacancy and dispersion of smoke and dust.
In addition, the shops on both sides of the street also act as a shield, allowing the smoke to concentrate in a relatively narrow space. If it was on an open battlefield, Xiao Letian's strategy would be of little use.
The second devil Xiao Le genius was too lazy to listen to Zeng Guoquan's criticism, "I don't want to be a general, field group combat is your specialty, what I want is to save my life, as long as it has an effect today...... Brothers, bring them three rows of guns and tell them to get out of here......"
Xiao Letian hadn't finished speaking, Luo Huo couldn't wait for the "three consecutive shots to prepare...... First Emission ...... The second row ......" Under his command, thirty musketeers took turns firing, and the iron sand hit the sky with a torrent of fire.
There is no need to aim at all in this kind of combat, and there is a thick cloud of smoke on the opposite side, as long as the musketeers calmly fire flat. After nine full volleys, the smoke and dust of peppers and peppers had completely dissipated, and the long street was already dead silent.
After the smoke and dust completely dispersed, people found that the cavalry team that had just been invincible had long since disappeared, and there was nothing on the ground except for more than 20 war horse corpses and more than 10 cavalry corpses. Looking further away, a black shadow was fleeing wildly, and one by one hated his parents for missing two legs.
"It's really boring, this is running away?" Xiao Letian's complaining words made the surrounding businessmen shudder. Ancestor, the Green Battalion cavalry has been defeated by you, and you still say it's boring? You are still not satisfied with the more than ten lives lost on the street, and you have to slaughter all the more than 100 cavalrymen before you are willing?
At this point, the merchants were completely frightened, from that day on, all the merchants in Tanggu City surrendered to the baton of Lotte and danced, no matter how much this group of merchants changed in the following years, the legend of the horror of Lotte was more and more widespread, and the business circle of Tanggu was unified by Xiao Letian, and there was no rebellion until his death.
After packing up the cavalry team, everyone didn't have time to care about Ma Bao Xietai, who was scaring stupid in the distance, everyone went around the alley, took a shortcut and quickly rushed to the dock in Tanggu, and the lucky number was in front of everyone.
Now the Lucky is the only merchant ship in the entire Tanggu wharf with the pier open, and the captain Corsica is anxiously pacing back and forth on the deck, and the brass telescope in his hand has been clutched out of the water.
"Look, Captain, isn't that Mr. Xiao Letian? They finally rushed out......" The lookout had seen Xiao Lotian before, and he immediately spotted the breakout team and shouted excitedly.
"Oh, God bless, esteemed Orientalist Shaw, Lady Luck is by your side, get on board...... Sailors, take up your weapons and disembark to meet our guests......"
All the sailors on board the Lucky were now fully armed, and at the captain's command, more than fifty musketeers descended the gangway and formed a small defensive musket formation at the entrance of the boarding gangway.
After a while, Xiao Letian's team finally rushed to the gangway, and the frightened and paralyzed merchants took the lead in boarding the ship. High on the deck, Corsica is waving "Oriental scholar Xiao...... Hurry aboard, I've got the best wine for you, and no thug will hurt you...... Children, let the guests see our strength......"
As he spoke, two black holes suddenly protruded from the battlements on both sides of the deck of the merchant ship, which were two eighteen-pounder guns, which were the most powerful weapons on the merchant ship.
Xiao Lotian quickly waved his hand when he saw it, and said in skilled English, "No, no, no, Captain Corsica, this is the internal affairs of the Qing Dynasty, if you open fire, it will cause diplomatic disputes, and I can solve the problem here......"
But before Xiao Letian could guarantee it, suddenly there were chaotic footsteps and a few dull gunshots on the street outside the dock, and there were still many people roaring faintly. Everyone was surprised, and suddenly rushed out of the alley and the street to suppress six or seven hundred green battalion soldiers, and it was Lord Ma Bao of Xietai who took the lead.
The wounded leg, who had been tethered to his horse, was now covered with tears and snot bubbles, he was scared, his whole body was shaking, but he was still roaring and directing the soldiers forward.
"Brethren...... I, Ma Bao, have been good to you all these years, this time it is a matter of life and death for everyone, I would rather break the family than reward you, everyone looks at the love for many years, rushed up and killed Xiao Lotian and the bandits around him to me......"
Ma Bao can't take care of it anymore, his position as a co-op is a family debt of 60,000 taels of silver, plus the sale of property and the way of Andehai's father-in-law, although he has paid off the debt in recent years, but his family is still poor and white, if he loses his errand because of this riot, he has no other way out but to die.
What's even worse is that Tanggu is a newly opened commercial port four years ago, and the imperial court is more important than the eyeballs here, for fear of a little chaos, there is also a face problem of the Celestial Empire, if you don't handle it well this time, you will lose face in front of foreigners, and then don't say that you are a banner man, the emperor, the lord of the eight banners, will personally order the head to be cut off.
There is an even more terrible possibility, if this riot intensifies, and finally hurts the property of foreigners, then it will give these foreigners an excuse to intervene, if the foreign soldiers shoot, the merchant ships fire, then he Ma Bao not only his own life is not enough to compensate, even their family has to pay in.
"Xiao Letian, you are so vicious, it's all because of you, you bastard, why are you so difficult? Why don't you stand there and let me kill well? Even if I die, I will pull you on this back......"
"Brothers, there are only 200 of them, and there are 30 muskets, and we have 400 muskets, all of which are imported foreign guns, I don't believe that I can't beat them, so I ...... charge."
Seven hundred green battalion soldiers against more than 100 private soldiers, four hundred musketeers against more than 30 ordinary bird guns, this battle can be won by fools, plus Ma Bao's family reward, the reward has been increased to 40,000 taels of silver, which is enough for this group of green battalion soldiers to work hard.
"Brothers, I, Ma Bao, swear here, after the rebellion, I will not take a penny of the 400,000 silver dollars in Lotte Foreign Bank, and I will share it all with everyone......" At this time, the green battalion soldiers went completely crazy, and rushed forward with a scream.
Captain Corsican stood on the deck condescendingly, knowing the situation of the battlefield at a glance, and the cold sweat of fright came out at that time: "Mr. Xiao, please board the ship immediately, we must defend ourselves...... Artillery ready, musketeers ready ......"
"Stop, Corsica, you stop me, this is the internal affairs of our Great Qing Kingdom, even if I die, I won't allow you to shoot a shot! Put away your gangway for me, Lao Tzu won't get on your ship......"
At this time, Xiao Letian looked at Jiu Shuai Zeng Guoquan with a cold face, "Jiu Shuai, the matter has come to this point, and if the chaos continues, it will not be as simple as the people's uprising, do you really want the Qing Dynasty to sign a humiliating treaty with foreigners? If you don't make a move, you will definitely be on the list of historical sinners......
"Hiss......" Zeng Guoquan gasped, he knew that he had been yin by Xiao Letian, a cunning fox, and he had to take action in this matter no matter what happened today, otherwise his brother would not be able to pass that level.
"Xiao Letian, I can't think too highly of you, I'm really convinced...... Eagle, do it!"
