The siege engine was only a hundred meters away from the city wall, and a third of the musketeers on the top floor began to get off the siege engine, and as soon as the musketeers went down, about the same number of grenadiers stepped onto the siege engine.

There is still some distance from the city walls, what do the grenadiers do on the siege engines?

I saw that the grenadiers on the siege engine also came to the top floor, and the remaining musketeers at the front walked to the sides, but they still stared at the wall ahead, and if the enemy showed up, it would attract the musketeers to attack.

The grenadier who walked to the top floor came to the front, where several large slingshot-like devices were attached to the wooden railings at the very front, and the grenadier slightly examined the catapult to make sure that the catapult was fixed and there was no damage.

Obviously, this catapult device is used to catapult grenades, whether it is a grenade of the People's Army or a grenade of the Ming Army, it is relatively heavy, and the grenadiers throw grenades hard, and they can only throw more than ten meters at a time, so that the grenades are completely used as melee combat.

The People's Army built a siege vehicle This matter is Fang Nan's decision, and by chance Fang Nan came up with an idea in his mind, which can add a catapult device to the siege vehicle to launch grenades, which does not need to be far, only a few dozen meters is enough, and the grenades are ejected from the siege vehicle to the city wall defended by the Ming army from dozens of meters, and the Ming army hiding on the city wall will suffer.

Today, I am afraid that this is the first time that the People's Army has used grenade tactics on the Ming army.

It's close! It's close!

The siege vehicles continued to approach the city wall, and even within the range of the Ming archers, some Ming archers wanted to draw their bows and throw to attack the People's Army, but pulling the bow on the city wall would expose their bodies a little, which immediately attracted the shooting of the People's Army musketeers, so that the Ming army gave up letting the archers attack and prepared for melee combat.

If the Ming army can not be afraid of death and injury, thousands of archers stand up together to shoot arrows at the People's Army, and the People's Army musketeers on the siege vehicles can shoot a thousand people at once, it is good, the Ming archers die a thousand, and the remaining archers can continue to shoot arrows, killing and wounding the People's Army.

But from the time the People's Army opened the cannon to the present, the Ming army on the city wall has been frightened by the People's Army, knowing that it is death, even if the officer threatens with a knife, the Ming archers will not stand up and send them to death, but may instead face the bow and arrow towards the officer holding the knife.

What's more important is that Li Zhengmao has a relatively small number of archers in the 100,000 army in Baoqing Mansion City, and they are scattered to the four city walls, even if the number of archers on the southern city wall is the largest, there are only about 2,000 people, and the death tactics do not play much role at all.

Soon, when the siege vehicles were only about forty meters away from the city wall, they stopped one after another.

In a group of three grenadiers, Grenadier No. 1 holds a grenade and places it in a leather pocket connected by two tendons made of animal tendons, the grenade is placed up, and the fuse is above, and then Grenadier No. 1 pulls the bag and the grenade wrapped in it backwards with force.

Grenadier No. 2 came behind Grenadier No. 1 and wrapped his hands around No. 1's waist to assist No. 1 in pulling his leather pocket.

When Grenadier No. 1 pulled the grenade to the maximum position he could reach with all his might, Grenadier No. 3 immediately came over and lit the fuse for the grenade in his pocket.

The next moment, the grenade flew out from the top of the siege vehicle and flew towards the southern wall of Baoqing Mansion.

Ming Army grenadier Wang Liu wondered why the People's Army siege vehicle had not approached yet, and carefully poked his head out of the battlement wall, this poke out of his head, Wang Liu was directly stunned, and several black grenades with metallic luster flew towards the city wall from a distance of dozens of meters in his field of vision, and he didn't need to think about it to know that the flying grenades were ignited.

Wang Liu just wanted to turn around and shout, the grenade had already flown to the city wall, and after stumbling on the city wall, the fuse of the grenade finally burned out.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Several grenades exploded on the city wall one after another, and the iron bullet body was torn into countless small pieces of iron at the moment of explosion, and pierced towards the surrounding Ming soldiers.

"Ahh

"It hurts!"

"My eyes!"

Suddenly, the heart-rending screams of the Ming soldiers resounded on the city wall.

The power of an "home-made" grenade is not very great, even if a person is holding a grenade that is about to explode, it may not kill a person in the first place, but there is no problem at all in blowing up a person to a serious injury, and it is not possible to rescue the seriously injured person later.

Compared with the power generated by the explosion of a grenade, what is more harmful is the fragment of iron produced by the explosion, if a piece of broken iron does not hit the vital position, it will only cause a little minor injury, and if a person is hit by more than ten pieces of broken iron, he will basically lose the ability to continue fighting.

Of course, if hundreds or thousands of grenades explode together, it will be very powerful.

More than fifty grenades were scattered and projectile onto the southern city wall of Baoqing Mansion, and the death toll of the Ming army was only a few people for the time being, but hundreds of people were injured by the grenades, and more than a hundred people who lost their ability to fight.

But the KPA tactics of catapult grenades were not over, a wave of grenades flew out, and the grenadiers quickly took out the second grenade and put it on the catapult device, pulled hard, ignited, and put!

The whole process only takes about 20 seconds, and in one minute, a group of grenadiers can use a catapult device to catapult three grenades at the city wall, and in one minute, hundreds of grenades fly from the siege vehicle to the city wall.

In the rumbling explosion, the city wall was already full of wailing, and the body on the city wall could not be hit by the musket, but it could not resist the attack of the grenade, the grenade fell on the city wall, and the explosion was a large explode, with the density of the Ming army on the city wall, how could a grenade explosion make several Ming troops lose their combat effectiveness.

Wave after wave of grenades were fired on the city wall, the Ming army on the city wall could only be bombed, and they were powerless to counterattack, at a distance of about forty meters, the grenades of the Ming grenadiers could not be thrown at all, and only the Ming musketeers and archers could attack the people's army, but their number was too small, and they did not dare to stand up and resist under the suppression of the musketeers and grenadiers of the people's army.

Any archers and musketeers who want to resist will be greeted with lead bullets fired by the People's Army musketeers.

"Run! Run down the walls! ”

The Ming soldiers who were unwilling to continue to be bombed had only one choice left.

Li Zhengmao did not climb the city wall, but felt the sound of explosions coming from the city wall, and he had already guessed the tragic scene on the city wall, and a few grenades ejected by the People's Army on the city wall would occasionally fly over the city wall and fall into the city, and the grenades that exploded behind the city wall did not look like they were thrown by their own grenadiers.

Li Zhengmao had no time to think about how the People's Army threw the grenade, and he was now thinking about whether to withdraw his troops from Baoqing Mansion City immediately or wait.

The 100,000-strong army was beaten away by the People's Army in its early 30,000s, and it was a shame to be thrown home.
