Meteor!

Accompanied by a deafening explosion, when one by one the "shooting stars" dragged the orange-red trail to strike, the screams of the sentinels immediately sounded in the Chinese army camp of the Loyal and Righteous Army.

Zhu Mingzhong, who had not slept in the first place, rushed out of the tent at the first time, and then before he could see the dazzling fireworks-like trail in the sky, he was dragged into the hole in front of the tent by the guards around him.

The so-called "hole" is actually the "nest of the earth", and the digging method of the "nest" is relatively simple, but it is to dig a pit about one meter deep below the ground, the shape is square, the length and width are about one, and the roof is built with a pile of soil around it. Compared with the cotton tents, the "Diwozi" can withstand the biting cold wind outside the pass, and although the ventilation is poor, it can protect the soldiers from the cold. It is precisely because of this that after arriving in Liaodong, in order to avoid frostbite among officers and soldiers, the loyal and righteous army often chooses "Diwozi" for camping when fighting in the field, especially for a long time in the field.

However, the nests built in the camp are different from ordinary nests, and the herringbone roof is more solid, not only supported by thigh-thick beams, but also a thick layer of covering soil, several feet thick of soil and branches and trees, turning these "nests" into fortresses, and to some extent, it is closer to the large-scale civil fortifications of later generations.

Because of this, after thousands of gunpowder boxes fell into the camp, although the explosion sound was like thunder, except for a very small number of gunpowder boxes that fell directly into the entrance of the "Diwozi" successfully blew up the "Diwozi" and buried the soldiers in it, the vast majority of the strong field fortifications did not suffer much damage, although many of them because the gunpowder boxes fell on the top, the impact of the explosion blew up the beams, making it in a half-collapsed state, but still effectively protected the soldiers in it, let them wake up from their dreams, and then immediately escape from the "nest of the earth".

In fact, the vast majority of gunpowder boxes did not explode on the top of the nest, but slid from the top of the "man" shape to the ground and exploded, so although the violent explosions came and went, in addition to blowing up many carriages and killing many war horses, it did not cause much damage to the soldiers.

"Whoa......

In the vibration of the explosion, a little broken soil slipped from the gap in the log, and the broken soil fell on his head, Zhu Mingzhong's expression looked extremely serious, although the sound of explosions one after another made his expression extremely serious, but his slightly raised lips revealed his true thoughts at this time.

He wants to laugh!

That's right!

He's been snickering!

Because Li Ziyuan's actions were completely unexpected!

In the daytime battle, Li Ziyuan did not take advantage, so Zhu Mingzhong concluded that he would definitely attack at night, and would use his most "good" gunpowder projectile, as the inventor of gunpowder projectile, after the invention of mortar, Zhu Mingzhong had given up this tactic, but Li Ziyuan has been using this simple but very effective weapon.

He's going to attack the camp!

The reason why this judgment was made was because of the understanding of Li Ziyuan's character, and also because he knew that Li Ziyuan had no other better choice, and the daytime battle had completely eliminated Li Ziyuan's possibility of defeating the Ming army from the front.

The night attack is Li Ziyuan's only chance!

And Zhu Mingzhong, all you need to do is wait!

Waiting for his night attack!

Gunpowder ejection!

In the past few years, the reason why Li Ziyuan has kept repeating this tactic is because it was too easy to beat Liang Huafeng with this method, and even the casualties were negligible, so Li Ziyuan has been repeating it, and he has always been able to achieve good results.

It's just that what he doesn't know is that Zhu Mingzhong has already had a way to defend against this trick - it is nothing more than an anti-artillery hole, and this reinforced "dimple" is a deformed anti-artillery hole, in World War I, it can withstand the shelling of howitzers of about 105 mm, not to mention the powder box?

It's okay to blow people up with a powder box, blow up fortifications...... It's just a dream!

"King, we won this battle, you say, are these artillery battles surnamed Li to celebrate us in advance!"

"No, this artillery battle is much more lively than during the New Year!"

"The New Year will be in a few days, and this goods will not wait for a few days......"

In the ridicule of everyone, Zhu Mingzhong just stood there with a serious expression, although he knew that now the goddess of victory had stripped off her skirt, but he knew that until the last moment, he must not laugh, occasionally he would look into the distance, now, should have rushed up!

Although the fog was hazy, but in the faint moonlight could vaguely see the attack troops of the Tang Army rushing to the front, their queue had become extremely messy, although messy, but the speed of the impact was extremely fast, more than a thousand people overlapped, crowded towards a passage between the branches and deer rocks that was only a few feet wide, in front of them was a collapsed earthen wall, their eyes were staring at the earthen wall, staring at the burning flame of the Loyal Righteous Army fortress, they had only one thought in their hearts.

Kill it, and if you kill it, you will have a reward of fifty taels of silver!

People die for money, birds die for food!

Kill!

In the deafening roar, the whole earth trembled there, trembling there with the footsteps of tens of thousands of Tang troops, and while they howled and charged, on the other side of the fortress, those loyal soldiers who had recovered from the violent explosion had once again organized their ranks, they stood on the steps of the earthen wall, their hands in their hands, their eyes staring deadly ahead, the smoke and fog in front of them were mixed together, they could not see through the smoke and fog, and in the same way, the Tang army could not see them.

Finally!

When the branch Luyan appeared in front of him, Shi Mingli had a smile on his face, he knew that it was just a breath to take a breath, he would be able to enter the camp of the loyal army, and then kill inside, and by tomorrow at dawn, he would be able to be promoted to the next level.

"Brothers, kill the past and kill them all......"

Shi Mingli, who was holding a knife in his hand, was pointing forward with a knife, he raised his head and looked at the earthen wall, and at some point, there were more black shadows like arrows on the earthen wall, what was that?

Shi Mingli, who was looking around, could vaguely see the back of the earthen wall by the trace of moonlight that penetrated the mist, and I don't know when there were more Ming troops standing there, although they couldn't see their appearance, they could only see shadows, but they stood there, and when the Tang army all over the mountains rushed towards them, because of the good discipline, they didn't make even the slightest sound, they just stood there.

Although the shouts around him were overwhelming, even the camp of the Loyal and Righteous Army was shocked by a terrifying and eerie silence, only the earth-shattering shouts and footsteps came from all around.

What's going on?

Shi Mingli couldn't help but have such a question in his mind, he didn't know what was going on, he didn't know why those people were standing there, shouldn't they have waited in horror for him to rush up, slash at them, wait for them to rush over and kill them all?

How can they?

"Ready!"

Looking at the Tang army getting closer and closer, Wang Yushu's voice burst out of an angry roar, with his roar, the comrades standing behind the chest wall raised their rifles in their hands, although the Tang army threw a large number of gunpowder bags, but their casualties on duty outside were not worth mentioning, because they were hiding in the trenches behind the chest wall, which also made the powder bags thrown by the Tang army, most of the time, just let them hear a sound.

That's it!

Even though it was just a sound, it still cracked the eardrums of many of them, but even so, the usual rigorous training still made them rush to the wall immediately after the initial shock, and wait to give the enemy a head-on blow with their firearms.

The blackened figure quickly approached their line of defense, rushing through the deer rocks with heaped branches, and when almost everyone overlapped in front of them, the officers who were standing on the wall and observing the enemy waved their command knives and shouted loudly.

"Raise your gun!"

Their movements were unhurried, and the moment they raised their guns, everyone felt that the enemy seemed to have rushed in front of their eyes, and they had already rushed out of the fog, howling and rushing towards them.

Finally, the Tang army that rushed out of Luyan, their sight penetrated the smoke and fog, they could see everything in front of them clearly, the distance between the earthen wall of the loyal army and them was only six or seven zhang, and they could even see the strange luster produced by the moonlight reflected on the gun tube. The guns in their hands pointed straight at them, pointing ahead, and at this time, the Tang troops who rushed up could even see the appearance of the loyal soldiers aiming behind the guns. See the smiles on their faces.

"Put!"

Suddenly, with a roar, the soldiers of the Loyal Army who raised their guns and aimed at them pulled the trigger, and the moment the guns sounded, countless guns burst out with fiery red flames.

In order to ensure the hit rate, the officers and men of the Loyal Army waited until the distance was only about six zhang before pulling the trigger. At this distance, the hit rate is 100 percent, the bullet will never miss, and even in many cases a single bullet can penetrate two bodies.

This is the distance from the top to the nose, when the soldiers of the loyal and righteous army opened fire, their guns burst out in the dark night one after another fire snakes, when the fire snakes flew around, through the flames of the guns, you can see very clearly, in front of them, the expressions of those Tang soldiers who were originally howling and rushing have changed, from the initial excitement, to fear, in the burst of thousands of scorching leads, the shouts of killing all over the mountains and fields have changed instantly, into bursts of painful and terrifying wails.

Suddenly, the flames erupted from the mouth of the gun, tearing through the darkness, albeit only for a moment, but it was enough for Shi Mingli to see everything clearly, and he saw that he and his men had fallen into an elaborate trap, and in this trap, there was death everywhere, and everywhere there were scorching marles, and the lead marbles penetrated the bodies in front of them, and they would burrow into another body, twisting and deforming in their bodies, tearing flesh and flesh, shattering bones, and the screams of the soldiers echoed in the wilderness.

The first wave of Tang troops rushed over, and they didn't even have time to react, they had already collapsed, and thousands of people who were originally alive kept wailing under the flying tongue of fire, and they fell in pieces. And the Loyal Army behind the breastwork, immediately after a volley, went down the wall, and another group of soldiers under the wall immediately rushed up, and then, as if shooting training, aimed ahead and pulled the trigger.

All the movements became mechanized at this moment, into the simplest repetition, and the warriors who had shivered in the violent explosion were all invincible warriors, and they had only one task, which was to reload and shoot, and the two-foot-thick earthen wall protected them from the threat of the enemy's bullets, although in fact, at this time, the enemy's bullets could not threaten them at all, and the enemy who caused the rush was only struggling and howling in the rain of bullets.

"Rush, rush, rush up......"

Shi Mingli knew that at this time, the back road had been blocked by a swarm of soldiers, and if he retreated, he would let everyone fall into death, so he just kept shouting and tried to rush through the enemy's line of fire.

"Quick, if you want to live, rush with Lao Tzu!"

In Shi Mingli's shouting, he rushed to the trench, and there were hundreds of soldiers around him who had escaped the rain of bullets, and just when he was in a hurry to rush towards the gap in the wall of the loyal army, suddenly a gust of grenades fell from the air like raindrops, and the grenades suddenly exploded among the crowd, and those Tang troops who rushed into the trench were immediately enveloped in the smoke of the explosion.

Almost at the moment when the choking smoke enveloped him, Shi Mingli was really frightened, even if the gap was close in front of him, he didn't have the courage to rush over again, and after lying on the ground to avoid this round of explosions, he woke up the trumpeter next to him who was almost frightened with a punch, and then roared loudly.

"Hurry up and blow the trumpet and retreat!"

At this time, he couldn't care so much anymore, he only had one thought, which was to live.

"Withdraw, withdraw......"

Shi Mingli roared loudly as he tried to flee to the rear. The trumpeter picked up the trumpet and put it to his mouth, and when he was about to stand up, suddenly the trumpet didn't even come in a hurry to make a trumpet sound, and the person fell backwards and fell to Shi Mingli's side, and a bullet hit his head, directly smashing his head to pieces, like a broken watermelon.

A piece of brain pulp was even flown down on Shi Mingli's face, the choking smell of blood made Shi Mingli even breathless, and his desire for life made him dare not raise his head anymore, he just lay on the ground and watched one by one fall down one by one.

He saw that as soon as the commander Sun Tianmao rushed over, he fell to the ground, blood splattering from his chest, and saw that one of the soldiers was broken in the leg by another bullet before he could even fall in a hurry, and then his head was shattered again......
