Chapter 220: Crazy Grenadier

Grenadier, just by looking at the name, you know how exciting this class is, grandma has legs, lining up to throw bombs, what a crazy guy to come up with this style of play!

Even in the most elite armies of the British, French and Austrian armies today, only the most valiant and hard-headed soldiers are qualified to be grenadiers, and in the barracks, grenadiers are naturally superior to those of other arms.

No way, these guys not only never take other people's lives seriously, but also don't take their own lives seriously, and when they go to the battlefield, they will either be blown up and the enemy will burp their legs, or they will burp the enemy and have their legs blown up!

Of course, in the battle between European armies, the grenadiers will not be the first to appear, the head iron is not equal to the sand sculpture, let the precious grenadiers to withstand the light infantry fire or be shot in line is a fool, generally after entering the melee, the grenadiers will come out to expand the results!

But here, Colonel Gaston felt that there was no problem, although the enemy on the opposite side was armed with a large number of smoothbore guns, they did not have the skill of the European light infantry, nor the discipline of the European line infantry, and the grenadiers of more than three hundred men could go directly and control a large area.

Ibrahim Sultan's legs and stomach twitched again, and it was an anomaly that something went wrong, these guys came out with guns on their backs and a few iron bumps in their hands, and they definitely didn't come to sing, and they definitely didn't come to surrender.

Sure enough, when the Bugis rushed to almost seventy meters, the grenadiers under the command of Oudino suddenly crouched to the bottom.

"Boom!" More than 600 brown basses behind him suddenly opened fire, and the front line of the charging Bugis was a smash, and in the dense formation, at least more than 80 people were shot to the ground.

The Bugis who stopped also fired the smoothbore guns in their hands, but according to the original plan, they must have shot at the grenadiers squatting on the ground, but they were fired first by the line infantry of the Ye family on the opposite side, and the Bugis people aimed their guns at the line infantry on the opposite side that looked better to hit.

The flames flashed, the smoke rose, and the entire battlefield outside Ganmaxi was shrouded in a large cloud of smoke, and the visibility suddenly dropped a lot.

The two sides had two fires, and the Bugis people couldn't bear it, their training was much worse, and they couldn't shoot a salvo, and after two shots, the Ye family fell dozens of people, but the Bugis people fell at least a few hundred!

"Crazy! Lunatic! Shame on you, madman! Ye Adi's tears were strung together, and he scolded vaguely in his mouth, not knowing whether he was scolding himself or others.

However, although he was about to collapse with fright, and his body squatting on the grass was shaking, Ye Adi still tried his best to control himself from squatting lower.

As for getting up and running, it was unthinkable, because the lead bullets shot from the front and back of his head were making a weird scream, and Ye Adi could even feel the heat of those lead bullets!

Ye Adi, who has a good body, to put it bluntly, is tall and long-legged, and throws things far, and was selected into the grenadier reinforcement company after training, which is an enviable errand, you must know that the monthly salary of a grenadier is twice that of an ordinary soldier.

At first, Ye Adi also felt that he had met a nobleman, but now he knows what kind of noble person this is, this is a bull-headed horse face that is urging life! The extra monthly salary turned out to be used to buy life.

He remembered his eldest brother Ye Xinwu, who followed the patriarch to fight the Burmese, and finally died in Chiang Rai in northern Thailand.

For a distant sect like them, although the surname is Ye, this surname Ye does not bring them much benefit, and their lives are still poor.

However, when his brother Ye Xinwu died in battle, it brought a turnaround to their family's life, fifty acres of fertile land, fifty taels of silver, three slaves, and the admiring eyes of the clansmen.

And someone came to say goodbye to them, although the other party is a Nyonya, but on the condition of their family, what else to pick!

But the sad thing is that it is a nyonya, and people don't take a fancy to him, but to his younger brother who has clear eyebrows and excellent learning in ethnology, and it is said that the next time the clan sends someone to Europa to go to college, there will inevitably be his younger brother.

So, Ye Adi, who was sad, inferior, and self-pitying, simply came down in anger and signed up for the army.

"Lao Tzu wants silver, he wants slaves, and Lao Tzu wants you Lin Eniang to see, what's wrong with Lao Tzu? What's wrong with Lao Tzu Chou? But Lao Tzu can be an official! ”

"Rafi wants to jump, Atta!" When Ye Adi was thinking about the scene of not bullying the young man and being poor, and making Lin Eniang cry with regret, a high-pitched French voice sounded, and it was their company commander, the big-nosed Oudino who shouted.

He looked up and saw that the sky was full of smoke, dead bodies all over the ground, seeping screams, and choking smoke, like hell on earth!

But he didn't have time to be stunned, the harsh training pulled Ye Adi's nerves back to the battlefield, and it was time for them to shoot as a grenadier!

After the three rounds of shooting, the arrow-like charging formation of the Bugis Johor army was beaten into a round ball, and in these three rounds of shooting, they were beaten miserably by the Ye family, losing at least four or five hundred people.

Judging from the screams, the people of Pahang, Selangor, and Malacca on both sides must have been even worse, if it wasn't for the smoke covering up the miserable situation, maybe they would have collapsed by now!

Said came up, and when his guards saw the soldiers who were stunned or retreating, they were directly stabbed!

This Ibrahim Sultan's right and left hand knew that the war had reached the most critical time, after all, there were more than 20,000 of them, if they could resist the first wave of killing and wounding of the Tang people, and they could stabilize, they would still fight, and if they were directly defeated and collapsed, it would be really over.

After cutting down seven or eight unlucky eggs, the Johor army's front was finally barely stabilized.

"I will lead the charge, and whoever dares to retreat for the sake of Allah is the enemy of Allah!"

Said roared sharply, and after the roar, he took out his weapon and was about to drive the soldiers to continue the attack, when a shadowy figure appeared in the smoke.

Said reflexively wanted to pounce, but instead of a lead bullet coming from the opposite side, it seemed to be throwing something the size of a fist at them, throwing stones? Said looked incredulous.

The sudden appearance of the grenadiers still made the Bugis nervous, they shouted loudly, some dropped their muskets and picked up machetes to charge, and some hurriedly raised their muskets and began to shoot, but the sight was not good, and it was not a platoon of guns, so there were not many people at all.

Thirty-five meters, the prescribed throwing distance arrived, and the overwhelming grenades rained down, and one lucky guy was even smashed in the forehead by a grenade, and it didn't even explode!

Of course, not everyone has such good luck, a Bugis man who is usually good at reflexively grabbing a grenade that is about to fall, but before he can figure it out, the lead burns out!

"Boom! Rumble! The yellow-green firelight, accompanied by a terrible howl, exploded in all directions, and no one expected that those things thrown by the Tang people would dare to explode!

All of a sudden, the huddled Bugis suffered an old sin, and the dense crowd was simply the best target.

This is not a black powder bomb, but a picric acid bomb, the power is not less than the ordinary three-pounder gun, and it is not a wave, it is a wave after a wave, and the Tang people on the opposite side are like death, constantly throwing bombs that can quickly harvest people's lives.

Said died, and during the second wave of grenades, he actually wanted to use the steel knife in his hand to chop the picric acid grenade thrown over, but the result can be imagined, and his head was completely gone!

The Bugis had never been hit by such terrifying firepower, and to be exact, the armies of East and Southeast Asia had not been baptized by grenadiers, and no army could resist it.

This level of horror is about the same as when you make an appointment with someone to slash each other with a watermelon knife, but suddenly you find that the other party will use the palm of your hand to be as terrifying!

The dense Bugis formation was torn out in an instant, and everyone howled and desperately squeezed back, and the people behind didn't know what was going on, and thousands of people were huddled together.

Some of the brave ones were still shooting or trying to rush over, but most were scattering in all directions, chaotic like the end of the world.

Ye Kai clenched his fist excitedly, he didn't have Louie. Colonel Gaston was so sure that 5,000 men fought 25,000 men, and although he showed confidence in victory everywhere, it was for outsiders to see.

Deep down, Ye Kai is still very worried, this is all his capital and hope, if there is a case, then there is really only one way for the whole family to die!
