"Attack, attack!"

The officers of the two armies on the white horse drew their weapons and shouted.

Bai Liangzhu rode out of his horse and agitated back and forth in front of the formation: "It's going to rain, this is God helping us, and the big guy has been attacking forward." Those who survive will be rewarded with five taels of silver each. ”

"Today, we have shed blood and sold our lives for the new dynasty, and everyone will be loyal to the new dynasty in the future. The Son of Heaven wants to be tax-exempt from the land, you don't work hard, do you still want the acres of land? ”

"Whoever dares to retreat, kill on the spot!"

As he spoke, he pulled out his waist knife, pointed in the direction of Yang Village, and shouted hoarsely: "Break Yang Village first, then break Jinmen, cut Zheng Zhilong, and capture Emperor Zhu alive-"

"Cut Zheng Zhilong and capture Emperor Zhu alive!"

20,000 white-horse soldiers raised their swords in unison, and the dense spears were like a forest.

Bai Guangen and Ma Ke blushed on their faces, didn't Li Zicheng want to vote, this is our vote.

Hao Shaoqi also had a pride in his heart. "Good, good. The two generals are the pillars of my Dashun. ”

cut Zheng Zhilong and captured Emperor Zhu alive. That's tough! Hard.

Hao Shaoqi believes that after this incident, it is impossible for these two people to turn back.

In front of the cavalry formation of the Dashun Army in the rear of the two armies, Zhang Nai praised: "Taoyuanbo (Bai Guangen) still has courage." Today, I saw this Zheng Zhilong army, it was indeed well-trained, the guns were sharp, and there was no cannon in Taoyuanbo's hands, and the defeat suffered before was not a crime of war. ”

Luo Hu also agreed, "Zheng Zhilong is really a fierce enemy, which can be seen from their shelling." ”

And for the slogans that burst out in the two armies, it was even more joyful. "Such words have reached the son of Emperor Chongzhen, how can Baima have room for relaxation?"

Bai Liangzhu's agitation over there had reached the extreme, and he turned around and returned to the Chinese army. Then a large number of lightly armored soldiers, semi-armored soldiers, and even unarmored soldiers, with a scorching light in their eyes, Juntian is free of food, this is a family business that can make children and grandchildren have a full stomach, one by one holding swords, guns, bows and arrows, rushing forward.

In the rear formation, Bai Guangen led the troops to press the formation, Ma Ke beat the war drums with his own hands, and the tidal wave of soldiers shouted and rushed forward.

Bai Liangzhu retreated and sneered in his heart: "Die, it's good to be dead." "The emperor only has a total of 100,000 soldiers in Yanjing, and there are 30,000 troops in the two White Horse Divisions plus Tang Tong, which is really a lot. Tang Tong lost two battles in a row, and nearly half of them were killed or wounded. They also lost three or five thousand, which is just right.

The charge of thousands of people was not trivial, and it seemed that the entire sight of the east of Yang Village was covered by them.

Looking at the soldiers who were shouting slogans and fanatically killing them, Zheng Zhilong's cheeks trembled, what is this? When these people were fighting for the Ming Dynasty, their morale was not so high.

The scene in front of him made him think of the Ming army after the surrender of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in history, one by one, as if they were all reborn, with a bloodthirsty buff, that is called a capable fight!

“Md！”

Under the sheep and horse wall under the city, Zhang Kui scolded fiercely at the opposite side, shouting loudly: "Pass the order, grenade ready-"

The nearest shield carts on the opposite side are all approaching a distance of fifty or sixty paces, and at this distance, no matter how well the platoon guns hit, they can't contain the heads.

What's more, the shield cars are also uneven, which means that the shield cars give the enemy soldiers strong and weak, and the soldiers on the opposite side are not rushing out in rows, but in batches, wave after wave. With guns alone, you can't stop fighting.

At this time, muskets + small cannons can no longer carry the whole audience, and there must be grenades.

At the head of the city, Hong Xu also looked at the sheep and horse wall under the city with some worry, "The thieves are attacking fiercely, and I don't know if the sheep and horse wall can be defended." "They all have armor, and they are afraid of anything."

Don't you see that Zheng Zhilong has already assembled the Iron Man Army under the city, open the city gate and push it out when necessary, and he is not afraid to fight hard.

The morale of the soldiers of the two armies of the White Horse is very strong, which can stimulate the growth of their combat effectiveness to a certain extent. But the gap between the two sides is not something that can be bridged.

The first is the armor, Zheng Jun's most cannon fodder soldiers are also wearing twelve pounds of cotton armor, which completely blows up the Bai Guangen Department and the Ma Ke Department.

Second, physical fitness. The basic physical fitness of the soldiers on both sides should be as if they were a big man in Shandong and a big man in the northwest. But after the soldiers who are built on a level line, after experiencing unequal treatment, can their physical fitness continue to be equal?

The cannon fodder of the two soldiers and horses of the White Horse, I am afraid that it is difficult for people to eat and eat well every day, and it is difficult to dress warmly and sleep well. And what about Zheng Zhi Longjun? You can eat rice and steamed buns, and you can also have a dozen tooth sacrifices every once in a while. Even if it's all salted fish and seafood, it's meat, isn't it?

The difference in quality of life makes the current physical fitness of Zheng Jun's soldiers firmly overtake their opponents, not to mention the military training of the two.

Even if he didn't consider the gun, with only the bayonet, Zheng Jun could press back against the opponent. Not to mention, the first of the two armies of the White Horse Army, who was also mostly brave in the army, had long been killed by rows of guns and cannons.

Next, the two sides fought hand-to-hand with cold weapons, and the two armies of the white horse did not look at the number of people, but they were blocked in front of the sheep and horse wall. Not to mention that they had to guard against guns on the city.

"What a powerful Zheng Jun." Hao Shaoqi was surprised.

He thought that Zheng Jun was relying on guns and cannons to be fierce, but he didn't want this hand-to-hand combat, Zheng Jun was also very fierce.

Ma Ke's cheeks twitched, he had fought with Zheng Zhilong, and he knew Zheng Jun's methods better, "Uncle, Zheng Zhilong Jun has another trick, look, this is the ......"

From a distance, Ma Ke saw that in front of the sheep and horse wall, among the crowded groups of soldiers and soldiers of the two armies of white horses, beautiful fireworks suddenly burst out.

Zheng Jun finally took out the grenade.

Hao Shaoqi's whole person stood up on the stirrups, "...... is this?" ”

"It's a grenade. With bamboo tubes and wooden cans as the shell, the medicine powder is hidden in the inside, or the iron filings are filled with gravel, and the fire rope is ignited and thrown out by manpower. Those with strong arms can easily throw thirty or fifty paces away. ”

"Once it exploded, the shell splashed, and the iron filings and gravel flew sideways, and a single shot immediately enveloped the surrounding three or two zhang square, killing and injuring more than a dozen people."

"It's a real murderous weapon. Why haven't I seen you use it? Hao Shaoqi was puzzled.

Marco is going to roll his eyes, he has to have the conditions to use it, and the ghost doesn't need it. "The grenade is thrown with a human arm, so it can't be too heavy, otherwise it's hard and far. It is necessary to use refined medicinal powder to make it, and only use crude medicinal powder, which can only be terrifying and cannot cure the enemy. The value of refining powder is very high, the quantity is even reduced, and there is not enough for artillery in the army, how can it be used to manufacture grenades in large quantities? That is, Zheng Zhilong, with an annual income of 10 million, and a sea of gold and silver in his family, is the master who is not short of money, so he is willing to squander it like this. ”

Some unnecessary words are not ready to be elaborated on, and they are passed by in a word.

The charcoal needed to make this powder was very cheap, but saltpeter and sulfur were difficult. Most of China's saltpeter mines are small, and most of them are in the Hanzhong Sichuan and Shu areas, and it is not easy to mine and transport. And if you collect nitrate to make nitrate by yourself, it will be very troublesome and troublesome.

How much more about the brimstone? There are naturally some in China, but it is difficult to mine and transport, and the quality is not high.

If you really want to refine the medicinal powder, you must first start with the raw materials, not to mention the trouble, the cost is not small. For example, to purify saltpeter, you need eggs and radish, which is the method recorded in the book "Fire Attack Essentials" that was captured by Zheng Zhilong from Qin Tianjian by Tang Ruowang and Jiao Miao.

The effect is certainly the best.

The second is only to use radish, which is mentioned in Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creation". The method mentioned in Mao Yuanyi's "Wubei Zhi" is to only put grass and trees and gray water. There are many ways to do it, and there are many people who know about it, but there are not many who really do it.

The medicinal powder made by Ma Ke himself still has a certain quality guarantee, but the quantity cannot be guaranteed. Refining saltpeter and sulfur and boiling salt seems to take a lot of manpower and a long time.

And what about the medicinal powder he got from the imperial court? If you make money, you can still have some good things, and if you don't use money, you can only get a bunch of dust wrapped in firecrackers.

How can you compare with Zheng Zhilong?

The latter can get first-class and low-cost sulfur from Japan, and saltpeter can be transported from Tianzhu at the same low cost. Isn't that just a random mess?

From top to bottom, use a grenade, and throw it casually.

Isn't it a squander?

At the point where Ma Ke and Hao Shaoqi were talking, the grenades in front of the sheep and horse wall were no longer one by one, but one by one.

Is this still a grenade? It's throwing money.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

In front of the entire sheep and horse wall, it seems to have suddenly turned into a sea of fire and hell. Grenades exploded alternately! The fireballs and smoke pillars were not clustered, but rose in groups, and when they landed, they enveloped the soldiers of the two divisions of the white horse in it.

Bai Guangen was really distressed when he saw it.

Although these soldiers were all sacrifices of his own initiative, such a death still made him feel distressed.

The front of the sheep and horse wall has completely become a place of death that devours human life.

The two soldiers of the White Horse, who had been resisted by Zhang Kui before, were first crowded in front of the sheep and horse wall like gathering sand into a tower. Then the blood that was blown up in the grenade burst was splattered, staining a large area of land beneath his feet.

For a while, the screams of these soldiers of the White Horse Army who were injured by the grenade overpowered the sound of drums, horns, and shouts of killing on the entire battlefield!

There is no need for Bai Guangen and Ma Ke to think about how to make a tragic defeat, they will really lose miserably.

Zhang Kuicai would not let go of the opportunity, roared, and led the soldiers to kill the sheep and horses wall. After chasing after the butts of Bai Guangen and Ma Ke, he stopped when he walked out of the shield car area.

There was no way, the cavalry soldiers of the Shun army on both sides had already surrounded them. How dare Zhang Kui pursue again?

But even so, there are a lot of kills and captures.

Those shield chariots were still shields for the two soldiers and horses, but when they were defeated and fled, they became their roadblocks and stumbling blocks.

"Uncle, don't worry. This is just a small setback. When the sky was dark and the rain was pouring down, the old man and Mr. Ma decided to raise the soldiers to attack the city again. Tell Zheng Thief to repay this blood debt. ”

Bai Guangen pointed to the dense black clouds in the sky and patted his chest, 'Brave and loyal'.

The three generals of Hao Shaoqi applauded loudly.
