The aggressive attackers were hit head-on, and they consciously found shelter to hide their whereabouts.

That's right, they came to kill Xu Shiyang, so they must hate him deeply, right?

In fact, otherwise, their reasons for killing Xu Shiyang were completely different.

For example, some of the heroes in the Central Plains wanted to come to Xu Shiyang for revenge because their sect was swept into the storm of the empire's crackdown; Some of them are because they have received the favor of Shaosen Temple, or they believe that Shaosen Temple is the head of the martial arts and decency, so they are enthusiastic [] to avenge Shaosen Temple; There are also some remnants of Shaosen Temple.

Well, there is even a mallet that thinks that killing Xu Shiyang can make him famous all over the world.

As for the others, the people of Dali are here for revenge, after all, Xu Shiyang has completely turned their lives upside down.

And those Tibetan lamas thought that killing Xu Shiyang would prevent the Jin army from continuing to march towards the Tibetan Plateau.

Although the purpose is the same, but the mind is different, there will be different approaches.

The attackers of the Central Plains, after encountering a head-on attack, will not rush to launch a second attack, because for them, it is not a big deal not to kill Xu Shiyang this time, and they can take their time in the future.

Some people even feel that if they dare to challenge the invincible Xu Shiyang, they have already achieved their goal - the world will definitely marvel at their efforts for the sect and the righteous path of martial arts.

It doesn't matter whether Xu Shiyang dies or not, he is already famous enough.

The local attackers in Dali, as well as the chivalrous warriors of those sects in the Central Plains who were uprooted by the empire, are now also thinking of retreating - their remaining strength is not much, and the purpose of killing Xu Shiyang is revenge, and revenge has no time limit, and if you miss a blow, you should retreat immediately.

Only the Tibetan lamas were still anxious to charge again, because the Tubo were almost unable to hold out under the attack of the Jin army, and if they could not kill Xu Shiyang this time, the Tubo would not be lucky.

So, a few monks in red robes ignored it, roared angrily and took the lead in charging towards the car array.

And then again harvested by machine guns.

And everyone else took refuge in all directions, some even hiding behind the self-detonating wagon.

"Give that thing a blow, knock it out." Xu Shiyang pointed to the self-detonating carriage.

So the two guards took out the grenadiers, aimed them at the immobile carriage, took aim, and fired.

Two 4-kilogram munitions weighing smoke were projected.

One of them exploded between two poor horses that were not yet injured, and the other, which was unlucky, landed prominently on the ground, rolled forward a few times, and came to ...... under the carriage.

Don't think of the Chinese grenadiers as mortars, they were actually engineering weapons designed by the Imperial Arsenal for combat engineers, and were used to break down barricades such as barbed wire and deer rock, or to suppress the enemy in trenches or behind low breastworks.

That's why this kind of weapon that can be held in the hand will have 4 kilograms of ammunition - this is actually an iron bucket with a large spring in it, which catapults the ammunition hundreds of meters away.

The ammunition of this weapon is actually a primitive explosive bullet (flowering bullet) with only a thin layer of iron sheet on the shell, and because the muzzle velocity is extremely low, and it is not expected to kill and injure the enemy, it is only filled with a large amount of gunpowder, and there is nothing to increase the lethality of iron nails, iron sheets, etc.

The ammunition is controlled by a fuse that controls the time and distance of the explosion, and only the most experienced veteran can accurately control the length of the seal, ensuring that it explodes properly in the right place, neither sooner nor later.

A coincidence that is not a coincidence - half of the guards around Xu Shiyang are experienced veterans.

At present, Xu Shiyang's Guards are composed of two parts - the "Old Guards" composed of meritorious veterans who have served for about ten years and have made many meritorious contributions and have many medals, and the "Young Guards" composed of outstanding graduates selected by various military academies.

The old guards have rich combat experience, and the skills of operating the mounted weapons are perfect, whether it is a formation battle, a skirmish battle, a white-knuckle battle, or the operation of muskets and artillery, there is no problem.

The Young Guard, on the other hand, was more knowledgeable and quickly embraced new weapons, such as machine guns, grenadiers, and many other bizarre special weapons.

To be more precise, the Old Guards are the kind of traditional troops that can be used against any contemporary army other than the Chinese army itself with one enemy and ten enemies.

In fact, the Young Guards are more suitable to use against the Chinese army themselves, because they have a more solid mathematical foundation, rich knowledge ......of ballistics, and more accurate artillery fire, and because they are more receptive to new things.

Of course, whether it is the Old Guard or the Young Guard, any member of any country in this era can become the backbone of a force, the most valuable core of strength.

The topic is a bit far away, in short, the strong ability of the soldiers of the Guards and the sophisticated equipment that crosses the era are the reason why Xu Shiyang dares to run around in a newly occupied area like Yunnan Province with only a few dozen escorts.

Don't look at the only 60 people, Xu Shiyang thinks they are enough to deal with thousands of enemies!

What if there are more than 1,000 enemies, you ask?

Heh, if he can still be attacked by thousands of armed enemy troops on his own territory, then Xu Shiyang will be too much of a failure.

Back at the scene, both grenadier munitions had properly exploded (unusual for such a simple munition), and the one that landed under the horse's hooves exploded, blowing the two poor horses to pieces.

The other exploded under the car, penetrating the bottom of the self-detonating wagon, and then triggering a chain explosion.

First, a cloud of black smoke rose, and the fire could not be seen at first, and then in an instant, there was an earth-shattering explosion, the ground shook, and the thick black smoke and the fire of the explosion even engulfed the car formation more than 300 meters away, Xu Shiyang lowered his head and hid behind the carriage, and several old guards blocked his head with shields that he didn't know where to find.

The wind and sand rolled, the gravel flew wildly, and the shield crackled constantly, and this sound reminded Xu Shiyang of the hail in Liaodong.

A long time ago, when he was fighting with the Tartars in Liaodong, he once encountered hail weather, when Xu Shiyang and the soldiers wore armor and waited together in the ice and snow, and the hail smashed on the helmet, which is the feeling now.

Of course, at that time, the Tartars were a formidable enemy, and now they no longer exist.

As then, eventually all enemies will cease to exist, Xu Shiyang is convinced of this.

The explosion interrupted the battle for the time being, and in fact there was nothing left to fight now, unlike the Chinese army, who hid in the formation of vehicles a few hundred meters away and suffered no casualties at all, the martyrdom of the self-detonating carriage quickly killed the vast majority of the attackers and wiped out their morale.
