Chapter 275: The whole army charges
More than forty grenades were thrown at the same time, and then exploded in succession, directly setting off patches of flesh and blood in the dense crowd of Ming troops.
But that's not all!
As soon as the first round of bombing ended, Huang Xueren had already ordered again without hesitation: "Ignite, prepare, and drop the bomb!" ”
As soon as the order was issued, more than 40 grenades were thrown in the second round, and once again fell among the Ming troops, and the explosions sounded intensively.
Even because the explosion was too dense, the explosion sound overlapped together, and then formed a rumbling sound, which was more shocking than a simple shelling, and more desperate than the dense and crisp gunfire.
Some of the Ming soldiers who were at the heart of the explosion only felt a sharp pain in their bodies, and then they lost consciousness, and they were killed at the moment of the explosion.
However, more of them were injured, and the explosive power of a single grenade was not very large, but their killing and wounding did not rely on the shock wave of the explosion, but on the fragments of the shell and even the iron nails contained in it.
After the explosion, these seemingly inconspicuous pieces of iron turned into elves flying everywhere, and then burrowed into the bodies of soldiers one by one, causing serious damage to these Ming soldiers.
The Ming soldiers who were killed and wounded on the spot fell one after another, and the dense crowd almost made it impossible to count, and those surviving Ming soldiers were completely stunned at this moment.
The sound of the explosion was still ringing in their ears, but most of the comrades around them had already fallen to the ground, and at that moment, they felt as if they were in hell, surrounded by death!
They stopped running and charging, they forgot even the shouts and screams, they just stood there as blankly as the living dead.
It wasn't until they saw the pseudo-Tang thief army in front of them that there were a few familiar and terrifying voices!
Huang Xueren has already shouted again: "Ignition!" ”
These 100 grenades have not all been thrown, there are almost 20 left, such a sharp weapon, and the effect is so obvious, Huang Xueren naturally will not hide it, now the momentum of the Ming army's charge has been completely disrupted by two rounds of grenade explosions, and there are heavy casualties, and the next thing Huang Xueren has to do is to increase the casualties of the Ming army, completely repel the Ming army's charging momentum, and even force them to collapse completely.
He didn't believe it, when hundreds of people were killed and wounded at one time, these Ming troops still had the courage to continue to charge!
The grenade is ready to be dropped very quickly, pick up the grenade and light the fuse to throw it!
Therefore, just a few breaths later, Huang Xueren was already shouting again: "Drop the bomb!" ”
Immediately, the last 20 or so grenades in the new army of the Tang Dynasty flew towards the Ming army, which had already suffered heavy casualties.
At this time, the Ming soldiers who were stunned by the bombing finally reacted, and I don't know who shouted: "Run!" ”
Almost instantly, the surviving Ming soldiers in the front row just turned around and ran backwards!
However, the speed at which they were running was naturally not comparable to the speed of the grenade flying, and in a few seconds, there was another dense explosion among the Ming troops who had begun to run towards them.
Like the previous two times, once again countless Ming soldiers fell in a pool of blood!
The first round of explosions had already stunned these Ming troops.
The second round of explosions was already a desperate blow to these Ming troops.
And this third round of explosions is enough to make these Ming soldiers want their parents to give themselves a few fewer legs, for fear that they will not run fast enough.
The Ming army collapsed!
The crash is happening faster than anyone expected!
Wang Danxu, who was behind the breastwork, looked at the Ming soldiers who were rushing like a tide, and the Ming soldiers who could rush up with their muskets and bows and arrows were also open when they exploded in three rounds, killed and injured hundreds at one time, and then retreated like a tide.
After a long time, he spit out one word: "Mom! ”
Even Wang Danxu, who had already commanded the musketeers to knock down rows and rows of Ming troops and caused the collapse of the Ming army several times, couldn't help but exclaim after seeing the explosion effect of more than 100 grenades!
This grenade is really powerful enough!
Can this not be powerful?
These 100 grenades, to put it simply, are more than 100 bombs, and they are also flowering bombs!
Densely dropped in less than twenty seconds, the effect is almost equivalent to a hundred guns firing a grenade together.
And more importantly, in this year's troop operations, the density of soldiers is eager to be as dense as possible, especially in the process of this kind of charge, which is extremely dense.
As a result, the lethal effect caused by each grenade is amazing, falling in a relatively small place of the Ming army, killing and injuring one or two people at a minimum, and falling in a crowded place, killing and injuring more than ten people is possible.
A hundred grenades exploded in unison, how many Ming troops could be killed?
At least, there must be more than a few hundred people, at least the corpses and wounded of the Ming army lying on the ground are densely packed and countless, and there must be three or four hundred people at least.
Under normal circumstances, these grenades would not be able to cause such a terrifying killing effect, but whether it is for the Ming army or the new army of the Tang Dynasty, this grenade is a new thing, and the Ming army would never have imagined that it would suffer such a blow.
Therefore, there is no targeted defense at all, such as spreading out when charging.
And Huang Xueren endured the Ming army to rush to a distance of 20 meters before he began to order the throwing of grenades, so that he could cause such a terrifying killing.
According to the previous plan, after the Ming army rushed to a distance of about thirty meters, they should have started throwing grenades, but Huang Xueren did not do so.
Despite the increasing casualties of his own side and the pressure of Li Xuan, he insisted on delaying the time of dropping the bomb for a few minutes, and in these few minutes, the Ming army entered the best range of 20 meters of grenades.
If the Ming army, which killed and wounded hundreds of people at one time, does not collapse, then they are not the Ming army!
Seeing that the front row of soldiers of the Ming army had collapsed, and it was the Ming army that was crowded in the rear, constantly retreating to the rear!
Li Xuan also knew that he had already won more than half of this battle, and the rest would not be defense, but counter-charge!
He immediately said in a deep voice: "Give the order immediately, and the whole army will charge!" ”
Even though he already knew that the battle had laid the foundation for victory, and although his expression had begun to show joy, he still managed to maintain a sense of superiority, as if everything was expected.
The heralds around him began to beat the flag, and the drummers also began to beat the giant drum rapidly, and the dense drum sound represented the signal of the whole army to charge.
The officers and men of the Datang New Army on the front line heard the dense drums, and naturally knew what this meant, and one by one the officers began to raise the command knives in their hands and shouted loudly: "Rush!" ”
