The grenadier is a unique class, in history it is a gradually dying out class, and his existence is only because the gunpowder technology in the past is not up to par, the purity is not enough, and all kinds of explosives must be made very large and heavy to be powerful.

The grenadiers were supposed to be in the middle of the artillery and the infantry, and in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when the artillery did not keep up with the ranks, or when there was a problem with the configuration of the position that could not provide fire cover, the grenadiers could come in handy.

These strongest soldiers are fast and agile, and they can throw heavy explosives far away, and can even accurately drop explosive packets into the castle through the window.

Only the bravest and strongest soldiers were selected for the grenadier sequence, and even by World War II, the grenadiers had disappeared, but the names of the grenadiers were retained in many unit numbers in honor of these brave soldiers.

For example, Germany has many units named after grenadiers, just like the U.S. military still retains the number of cavalry divisions after World War II, of course, cavalry divisions must not have ridden horses at that time.

The main reason for the elimination of grenadiers is the development of science and technology, the development of chemistry has improved the power of explosives, the improvement of the level of steel casting and the development of the level of machining, so that the power and mobility of artillery have been multiplied.

Gradually, the significance of the existence of the grenadier as an independent arm is getting smaller and smaller, the power of individual grenades is getting bigger and bigger, the types of artillery are also increasing, and even in the end even planes and tanks appear on the battlefield, which makes the grenadiers become a chicken rib arm and withdraw from the stage of history is inevitable.

There are no useless troops, only applicable troops, and Xiao Lotian knows this well. At this moment, there is no really awesome artillery unit on the Asian land, and the weapon system is still very primitive, in this context, Xiao Letian vigorously develops a series of grenades, which is definitely a very economical and effective means to enhance firepower.

Spend the least amount of money and increase the maximum firepower, this is one thing that Xiao Letian is very proud of, it is precisely because the use rate of individual grenades in the Chinese arsenal is very high, and even to the degree of dependence, so the grenadier is resurrected in Xiao Letian's hands.

Some special explosives are really not something that ordinary soldiers can play with, such as the special grenades that are now specially designed to restrain cavalry, and the long wooden handle is equipped with a heavy tin can, which looks as big as a child's head from a distance.

The weight of ordinary individual grenades is about 500 grams, and each of these special grenades weighs 1,300 grams, which is more than a kilogram.

The grenadiers quickly entered the position, and without waiting for the order of the upper peak, the horses had rushed to within a hundred meters of the position, and the surrounding comrades had gone crazy, and the entire trench was covered with a layer of bullet casings.

Everywhere there was gunfire and shouts of killing, and the group of grenadiers was extremely excited by the smell of blood.

"Die! blow up the brutes......" Pulling the fuse, puffs of gray-black smoke rose from the end of the wooden handle, and the grenadier rounded his arms, and pitch-black grenades rolled towards the horses.

Bang...... Bang bang...... The expected loud explosion did not appear, but was replaced by a dull explosion, like a cannon shot lit by New Year's children, and there was no loud sound of ordinary grenades at all.

"! What are you throwing here?Is the stink bomb ......" The volunteers, who had just been in the army for a winter, had never seen this special grenade at all, and the veterans on the contrary yelled.

"Be careful! Beware of Crazy Horse!"

The grenade exploded in the herd, no fire or fragments, but it exploded in clouds of gray smoke, and all the horses went crazy when they touched this smoke.

Sigh Rhythm ...... The front hooves of the war horse stepped on the back of other horses, and the war horses that were obviously running in a straight line were actually bumping everywhere as if they were drunk, but one thing was for sure, all the war horses avoided those smoke clouds as if they had seen a ghost.

The soldiers in control of the horses had no idea what was happening, and they were overturned and dismounted in an instant, and then trampled alive by countless horses' hooves.

"What is this?" exclaimed the Cossacks on the other side.

However, the position of the volunteers cheered "Biological and chemical weapons!" See, this is the legendary biological weapon...... Damn, don't ask me what biochemistry is, how do I know? Anyway, it's very powerful......

Long Ye let out a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect it, Prime Minister, you actually developed our toys back then into weapons that can really fight in a war?"

The toy in Long Ye's mouth is just the pepper grenade that Xiao Letian used to fight in a group, and when he first had Tanggu and Ryukyu, Xiao Letian made countless such indigenous grenades.

Choose a bamboo pipe of suitable thickness, break open a section, and stuff it with extremely fine pepper, paprika, and quicklime powder...... Then an appropriate amount of gunpowder was stuffed in the area close to the fuse that acted as a warhead.

The cost of a simple bamboo pepper grenade is very low, but it is the best way to fight in a group and kill the black hands, and the smoke and dust produced by the explosion are extremely irritating, and the concentration is large enough to choke people to death.

However, this kind of grenade also has flaws, that is, it cannot be used in open fields, and it cannot be used in windy weather or when the wind direction is wrong, and most of the time it is used in special operations environments such as street battles and field battles.

Xiang Shaolong didn't expect that the current pepper grenade had been upgraded to like this, with more charges, more explosives, and a denser belt of smoke and dust, although it was in the wild at the moment, as long as the density of this grenade investment was enough, it could also form a biochemical area that was difficult for people and horses to pass through.

War horses can not be afraid of bullets, can adapt to the sound of explosions and fire, and these livestock can choose the herd effect according to their natural nature to pounce on the cliff without fear.

But the war horse definitely couldn't stand the stimulation of this biological and chemical weapon, and after the subtle irritating powder entered the mouth, nose and eyes, the hot and sharp pain suddenly made these big animals crazy.

The ice was already in a mess at the moment, and the herd of horses that had been galloping in one direction scattered and fled, jumping into the icy river as desperately as dumplings.

Countless war horses collided with each other, and their bones and tendons were trampled into pulp. Of course, there was still a group of horses rushing towards the position of the Volunteers, but the number and density were no longer threatening, and after a few rounds of Mauser volleys, there was a wail in front of the position.

The heavens and the earth suddenly fell silent, and the Cossacks who were preparing to charge were stupid, they sat on horseback and forgot to charge, and the ice in front of them was full of corpses of men and horses, and there was no place to stay.

Even fools can see that the second wave of attacks has completely failed, and then look at the time It is close to five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky is gradually becoming gloomy.
