Chapter 356: Mines Show Might

At this moment, many Qing troops in the vanguard even breathed a sigh of relief, even if they saw the barbed wire in front of them, even if they saw the low wall in front of them.

At this time, I saw a green battalion general who rushed to the front holding a knife in his hand, pointing at the defense line of the bandit army, and shouting: "Brothers, if you rush through this road, you can go up and kill all the thieves who are as timid as rats and only dare to hide behind the low wall and put cold guns." The silver, the woman, the official position, and the happiness of the children and grandchildren are behind that, rush..."

"Kill..."

"Rush over and kill them all..."

Perhaps the content of the shouting of this green battalion general was too attractive, and at this moment, the surrounding green battalion soldiers all rushed forward with red eyes and shouting.

Yes, perhaps in the eyes of these green battalion soldiers who have completely given up their minds, the obstacles ahead can be ignored, and those bandit soldiers who are releasing guns are no longer like a person at this time, but more like that ball of silver and exciting military exploits.

"Rush up, kill..."

At this time, the head of the green battalion was standing there holding a knife and shouting, like a road sign, beckoning the surrounding Qing troops to rush forward.

"Smack..."

While the Green Battalion President was still standing and shouting, a bullet flew over and hit the Green Battalion Boss directly in the head.

At this time, I saw that his brain shot out in an instant, splashing on the mouth of a green battalion soldier next to him, white and red. Before he could close his lips, he had just finished speaking, and he had already collapsed and died.

Although this Green Battalion has always died tragically in front of many Green Battalion soldiers, for the Green Battalion soldiers who have red eyes around him, he has always been just a dispensable existence.

The war is not over, and the sound of gunfire is still ringing.

Someone is dying every second, everyone may die in the next second, and the death of a green battalion is just a normal thing.

Who cares if they don't even know when they're going to die?

As long as the war is not over, the war will still have to be fought.

Before they killed all the bandit troops or were killed by the bandit army, these Qing troops who had already rushed to the front could only continue to rush until everything was over.

"Rush..."

"Kill, kill them all..."

"Ancestors bless, gods bless..."

The Qing army moving forward, all kinds of shouts were handed over together. Even the sound of muskets on the position of the bandit army did not stop, but it seemed that it could not suppress the loud shouts of the Qing army.

After all, this may be their last cry in the world, how can they not stop shouting out in the sky?

The burning of black powder emits white smoke, which is called gunsmoke.

The thousands of muskets in the defense line of the bandit army constantly ignited bullets, burning the black powder in the rifles, so that the smoke of gunpowder was constantly generated.

Soon, the smoke slowly covered the position of the bandit army, forming a white fog.

"Haha... Ha ha... Lao Tzu had bad luck today. Anti-thieves, stretch your neck and wait for Lao Tzu to cut it! In the rain of bullets, I saw an unscathed Green Battalion soldier laughing and rushing within thirty feet of the defensive line.

Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard.

"Jump..."

In an instant, I saw that the dirt under the feet of the green battalion soldier scattered in all directions, cracking and exploding a large crater.

The green battalion soldier instantly felt that his thighs were unconscious, and the air wave generated by the sudden explosion was also lifted up, and he fell directly nearly a foot away.

By the time he fell to the ground, he was already mutilated and dead.

The sand and gravel fragments sputtered by the violent explosion under the earth instantly killed and injured the Qing troops in a radius of one kilometer.

"Jump... Jump... Jump..."

The Qing army that entered within 30 zhang of the defensive line was constantly blown up under their feet, and many people fell next to them and wailed in pain.

"Did the thieves fire again this time? Why didn't I hear the sound of artillery, and I didn't see any shells flying out. Looking at the Qing army that fell to the ground in front of them, suffering heavy casualties, the people who rushed behind them were not only puzzled.

"No, the thieves buried the gunpowder cannon in front (1). If you can't pass by, retreat, go back, don't rush up again..."Someone who seemed to understand understood the situation and shouted at the team.

However, the charge of the army could not be stopped by the shouts of one or two people.

"Jump... Jump... Jump..."

The explosions continued.

The Qing troops who entered within 30 zhang of the defense line of the bandit army were all spared and fell to the ground and died. They were either killed by the sound of explosions under their feet or by the muskets of the bandits.

At this time, the Qing army's front once again appeared a fault.

Due to the death of all the Qing troops who entered the defense line of the bandit suppression area within 30 zhang, the Qing army attacking the southwest of Ma'anshan was once again suppressed 30 zhang away, and slowly retreated from 40 zhang...

"Explosive cannon (2), it is an explosive cannon, the thief buried a lot of explosives in the front ground, and if you can't get by, whoever survives will die..."

"I'm not fighting, I'm not fighting, I'm going home......"

Finally, a green battalion soldier could no longer bear the pressure, threw away the knife in his hand, and ran back.

Yes, if you can rush all the way without obstacles, even if you will face the possibility of being killed by the bandit army continuously, the vast majority of the green battalion soldiers can rush forward with their teeth closed and their eyes closed.

However, on the road to the anti-thieves in the previous section, how many such "bombardments" were buried by the anti-thieves? Nobody knows.

It is an unknown zone of death, and all who come into contact with it pay with their lives.

The people who died tragically inside in front of them all deeply shocked the Qing army outside, not to mention the barbed wire fence visible to the naked eye.

How many people have to die in the distance from here to that barbed wire? How many more people would have to die to cross that barbed wire? And at the distance from the barbed wire fence to that low wall, how many people have to die?

There may be people who can get there, but it won't be them.

If they continue to rush, they will be waiting for the same end as those who are now lying there bleeding and dying.

Note (1): Gunpowder cannon is the name given to landmines in the Song Dynasty. At the same time, landmines also originated in the Song Dynasty at the earliest.

Note (2): Explosives, in the early years of the Ming Dynasty (14th century), real mines with mechanical firing devices appeared in China. It was recorded in the "Fire Dragon Sutra" written by Jiao Yu in 1413.

In the early Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not attach much importance to the manufacture and use of landmines and various explosive devices, so not many people knew about landmines.

It was not until after the Opium War that Ding Shoucun, Huang Mian and others began to actively develop various types of mines, mainly pulling mines and tripping mines.
