Chapter 274: Our Sappers Have Strength
Chen Ming, because he had no combat experience, was placed behind, and 200 people refused to accept the mouth of the valley, and not far away, there were cavalry almost the same number as them.
In the field, the infantry and cavalry are one-on-one, and the end can only be a one-sided slaughter, and the Khitans think the same way, they are like experienced hunters, riding wild horses, kicking up the dust, and then letting out a strange beast-like roar to intimidate the sappers.
They felt that there was no need to fight at all, as long as they ran a few back and forth, the opponent's military spirit would collapse, and then they would break up and flee, and they could easily cut off people's heads with a scimitar like catching a yellow sheep. Then tied to the horse's mane, bloody, hideous and terrifying heads, is the best proof of their bravery!
The Khitans galloped back and forth, and soon they were stunned.
The Zhou soldiers on the opposite side did not want to escape, but dug at the mouth of the valley, as if to build a trench to block their attack.
"Hahaha, see no, the Han people are rats, dying to the end, and they want to dig ditches and repair walls, they have such a little ability!"
"yes, I think they're digging their own grave!"
"It's a pity, my Khitan warriors won't bury them in the grave, they will only throw their corpses in the mountains and let the wolves eat them all!"
"Hahaha!"
……
The Khitan men and horses laughed wildly, they left half of them to suppress the formation, and the remaining half urged the war horses, like a whirlwind of clouds, towards the sappers.
The horse's hooves stepped on the earth, and the vibration spread far and wide, and the people in the valley only felt their hearts jumping, so nervous that they couldn't breathe.
The pressure of the cavalry was too great, even if it was only a hundred people, it was like a flash flood, and it was full of strength.
Chen Ming's sideburns were soaked with sweat, and in addition to being nervous, he had more regrets. That's right, it's a pity!
He hopes that all the Khitan soldiers will rush up together and let you know how powerful the sappers are!
The Khitans were getting closer and closer, and they had already rushed to about fifty paces, and they raised their bows, drew their arrows, and pulled them with all their might.
Poor prey, suffer death!
Unbeknownst to the Khitans, just as they were about to launch a thunderous blow, Chen Ming lit the gunpowder with a slightly trembling hand.
呲呲呲......
The arquebus burns, sticks to the ground, and moves forward quickly.
The first wave of arrows fell, and more than a dozen soldiers were hit by arrows, and two of them were shot in the throat and died directly.
The gunpowder also exploded at this moment!
As a sapper, open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water, how can there be less gunpowder.
Just pretending to dig a ditch, in fact, he is digging a pit to bury gunpowder, Chen Ming knows that it may not be possible to fight by himself, but we have the technology, and we will make the Khitan people bleed!
Due to the fact that it was not used much in battle, the Khitans did not know the power of gunpowder at all, turned a blind eye to the fire rope, and continued to charge......
The explosive explosion lifted the ground and shattered the men and horses. A little farther away, he was hit by a flying stone, his ribs broke, his thigh flew out, and the man fell in a pool of blood, wailing in pain. The horses screamed and died.
Due to the urgency of time, Chen Ming only buried 500 catties of gunpowder, and there were still 500 catties that were not used.
But even that's all there is to it.
The 100 cavalry who launched the attack were killed by more than 30 people, another 30 or 40 were wounded, and only a few people remained, who were able to escape back safely, and they were already too frightened to speak.
The earth dragon has turned over!
Is God going to punish them?
Could it be that he killed Zhou Bing and suffered retribution?
The Khitan faces are all green.
Their commander was quite calm, although the gunpowder explosion was huge, but he could guess that it must be Zhou Bing's ghost!
"Don't be afraid, I'm a Khitan warrior, invincible in the world! The tricks of the Han people can't scare us! ”
He drew his scimitar and took the lead in rushing forward.
This time the Khitans did not use a dense formation, but were relatively loose to facilitate escape.
Chen Ming saw it in his eyes, he was very sorry, and he was helpless, he didn't have time to bury gunpowder anymore, so he could only fight hard, brothers, will you succeed?
"We are the Tianxiong Army, don't care if it's the forbidden army or the box army, in short, we can't lose the face of the Tianxiong Army!"
"Kill!"
The old pawn led the soldiers, holding their weapons tightly, the pikemen in front, and the sword and shield hands in the back, putting on a desperate battle posture, in front of them, there were simple rejection horses made of tree branches, and the corpses that had just been blown up were also dragged over, forming a line of defense, which could finally delay the speed of the war horses.
The sappers didn't have time to make more preparations, the Khitans' arrows had already arrived, and soldiers kept falling to the ground with arrows, and those behind would not hesitate to make up for it.
Finally, the hand-to-hand battle!
The spear entered the flesh, and the Khitan soldiers who rushed to the front were poked, and they fell to death together with men and horses, and blood gushed out of the hole, and they couldn't survive.
There were also sappers who were knocked into the air and fell to the ground, spurting blood.
There were more and more Khitan Qibin, like cannonballs, crashing into the middle of the sappers.
More than half of the pikemen in the front row were killed and wounded, but they still fought bravely to kill the enemy, and in the face of the Khitans' skillful martial arts and fancy kung fu, they had nothing but one shot after another.
Everyone is a life, there is no fear!
In order to kill one Khitan soldier, the sapper could pay the price of two or three people.
It looks very miserable, but those who can rush in front are all Khitan elites, and with their deaths, the momentum of the people behind them is much weaker.
"Brothers, go up!"
The sword and shield soldiers rushed forward, they took the place of the pikemen, brothers, you have carried the hardest, and the rest is left to us!
"Kill!"
As a veteran of the Tianxiong Army, he has not lost the ability to kill people at all.
There was a small man, agile, toad-like thighs jumped up hard, the waist knife in his hand pierced into the soft underbelly of a Khitan soldier, stirred it hard, and then pulled it out, with a ball of colorful internal organs, the Khitan soldier wailed and fell off the horse.
He jumped on horseback, grabbed a war horse, and rushed towards another Khitan archer, who was even more ferocious than a tiger. With a fierce slash, the Khitan archers wanted to block with their bows, but they cut off the bow with a knife, slashed directly at the door of the head, and killed immediately!
Everyone is trying their best to kill the enemy.
They have no way to retreat, they will die if they don't win, they have to fight!
Chen Ming, who has been at the end, has his eyes gradually red, he can't just be protected by everyone, he is also a six-foot man, young and strong, with hands and feet, why can't he kill the enemy!
The Khitans have bullied our family for decades, my father, my brother, my relatives, so many people have been killed, Lao Tzu wants revenge!
"Kill!"
He had no weapon at hand, so he grabbed the sapper shovel.
Rushed to the front of a Khitan soldier in three steps and two steps, and the shovel slashed out, and the opponent didn't have time to dodge, just cutting off an arm.
Blood splattered, killing Chen Ming.
He was a little stunned, gritted his teeth and raised a knife to kill him, he subconsciously pushed with a sapper shovel, and the other party was in the end. He stepped forward, raised his shovel, and poked it right in his throat from top to bottom, making a sound of his spine bones shattering, and his head was chopped off.
Chen Ming suddenly found that the sapper shovel was also a very good weapon, and he yelled excitedly and killed the next Khitan soldier with all his might.
The sapper shovel was made of fine steel, the length was sufficient, and the weight was heavy, much stronger than the Khitan scimitar.
The more Chen Ming uses it, the more skillful he becomes, using a shovel to split the horse's legs, as long as the horse falls to the ground, the Khitan soldiers will definitely die!
In the blink of an eye, he killed three people, covered in blood!
"Okay, Chen Gong is very capable!"
The momentum of the sappers became more and more vigorous, they fought desperately, and the Khitan soldiers actually declined.
Chen Ming wiped a handful of blood from his face, he suddenly found that there was a guy who was particularly fierce, killing several brothers in a row, Chen Ming was also playing with his life, he concentrated all his strength, and chopped it down with a shovel from behind, and the butt of the war horse was immediately split into two halves.
The knight above rolled off his horse.
Just rolled in front of Chen Ming, the sapper shovel fell into the horse's buttocks, and he couldn't pull it out in a hurry, Chen Ming simply threw the shovel, stretched out his two hands, and grabbed the other party's throat.
He used all his strength, and the other party's face was bruised, and there was blood under his skin, as long as he broke a hole, he could squirt out. Chen Ming swore that this was the most terrifying face he had ever seen.
"Die!"
Regardless of the opponent's punches and kicks, Chen Ming didn't let go, and finally, the opponent's fists became weaker and weaker, and his body no longer struggled, Chen Ming ran out of strength, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, up and down his body, every bone hurt.
At this time, an old pawn ran over, looked at the corpse, and then at Chen Ming, and suddenly slapped excitedly, "Come and see, everyone!" Let's Chen Gong killed the leader of the Khitan! ”
