Chapter 592: A Great Victory
The rain poured down, and the whole night was shrouded in a curtain of rain, and it was impossible to see.
Fighting at night was more beneficial to the Xuanjia Army, which had been stationed in Jining City for three months. Liu Yiliang led a thousand Xuanjia troops to sneak to the land temple in the east of the city, which was also the arsenal where the Ming army hoarded gunpowder.
Sun Chuanting had long estimated that the Xuanjia army might fight the trapped beasts, so he sent sergeants to come to sneak attack, arranged Niu Chenghu, and led the most elite 10,000 new-style Ming troops to guard the arsenal of the land temple, with a total of three layers of camps inside and out. There are even five cannons on the city walls, ready to deal with sudden military situations in the city.
But what Sun Chuanting never expected was that the Xuanjia Army also had a weapon that could burn and explode even in rainy days.
Liu Yiliang lurked in front of the Ming army's barracks, and when the rain weakened slightly, turning from a downpour to a drizzle, he ordered the first echelon of a hundred death squads to sneak forward and solve the sentry guarding in front of the barracks.
The vigilance in the Ming army camp was extremely high, and as soon as there was an abnormal movement at the camp gate, the military camp was alerted, and the three hundred new Ming troops who were patrolling and guarding were sounding gold warnings while rushing to the camp gate to resist the surprise attack of the Xuanjia sergeants.
The 100 death squads hurriedly took out a cloth bag wrapped in cowhide and threw it directly at the first camp of the Ming army. Calcium carbide and metal sodium blocks immediately burned when they encountered water, and then exploded, and the entire camp was surrounded by fire in an instant.
The 300 death squads of the second echelon that broke into the barracks did not entangle with the Ming troops who came to snipe, and rushed directly to other barracks that did not snipe, took out the prepared cloth bags, and threw them one by one to the camps they passed along the way. The tents of the Ming army in the barracks burned immediately when they caught fire, and the Ming soldiers who were still asleep were encroached upon by the fire before they could get dressed, and they screamed incessantly.
Seeing the fire in the camp of the Ming army, the five hundred daredevils of the third echelon swarmed in, killing the Ming army who fled from the tent in panic to avoid trouble, rushed all the way, killed people when they saw them, and the corpses were all over the field.
The sudden attack on the military camp alarmed Niu Chenghu, who was stationed in the land temple, and he ordered the 3,000 new Ming troops to assemble and prepare for war, and on the other hand, he recruited a few sergeants who came to call the police to ask what had happened.
The panicked Ming army trembled and reported, "Lord Commander, the demon art of the Xuanjia Army is too weird, it actually ignites when it encounters water, and it has broken through three military camps of our army in a row!" ”
The sergeants heard that the Xuanjia Army was using witchcraft again, and the horror of the white phosphorus bomb had given them a profound lesson before, and this time there was a demonic spell that could be burned in water, and they all looked at each other and were at a loss.
Niu Chenghu had never seen it in his life, he thought that these sergeants were lying about the military situation, exaggerating the enemy's situation, and kicked the sergeant who reported the news to the ground, pulled out his war knife and cut it with a knife, and reprimanded angrily, "Fighting on the battlefield, relying on real knives and real guns, where did the magic come from?!" Who dares to blame the power for being confused, lying about the military situation, and killing! ”
Only then did the sergeants calm down a little, and Niu Chenghu waved his sword and shouted, "The Xuanjia Army is at the end of its rope, the battle of trapped beasts, kill me with me!" ”
When Niu Chenghu rushed out of the Chinese military camp, what he saw was already a fire, and the three nearby military camps had fallen into a raging fire, and the sky was filled with thick smoke, which was disgusting.
Niu Chenghu looked at the sky incredulously, it was still raining lightly, and it could burn such a big fire on a rainy day, he realized that the sergeant who reported the news before was really wronged, and the Xuanjia Army was really using a kind of magic that he couldn't understand!
The barracks of the Ming army were already in chaos, with the explosions of flint and metal sodium blocks, and the screams of burned and slashed sergeants one after another, and the situation was out of control.
Niu Chenghu saw that his scalp was numb, and immediately ordered a thousand soldiers to guard the gunpowder of the Land Temple, and personally led two thousand soldiers to stop the rout of the Ming army.
Liu Yiliang, who commanded this sneak attack, also arranged for the last echelon of 100 daredevils. These 100 men were the most elite assault force, wearing fireproof suits and gas masks. Along the way, they did not entangle with any Ming army, but went straight to the ultimate goal of this battle, which was to detonate the arsenal of the Land Temple.
After Niu Chenghu led the army to support, only 1,000 Ming troops remained in the Land Temple. When Liu Yiliang commanded a hundred people to secretly attack the Land Temple, he saw that the defense of the Ming army was not as tight as imagined, and immediately ordered the whole army to open the way with incendiary bombs.
"Whoosh!"
A hundred incendiary bombs were thrown at the Ming army in front of the land temple, and the firelight and explosion sounded instantly, and the thousand Ming army was attacked sharply, and it was still the most terrifying fire attack, so frightened that it scattered in all directions, and could no longer organize into a formation to resist.
Liu Yiliang drew his sword, waved it high, and shouted, "Brothers, success or failure in this battle, kill!" ”
The 100 daredevils were very well-equipped, not afraid of the erosion of fire, poison and smoke, and both their morale and fighting spirit had reached their peak, and they all pulled out their swords and rushed towards the Ming army guarding in front of the Land Temple.
After half an hour of fierce fighting, the 1,000 Ming troops guarding the Land Temple finally couldn't resist under the multiple attacks of fire, smoke, and slashing, and fled.
Liu Yiliang was not entangled with the scattered Ming army at all, and directly led the sergeants to break into the land temple and threw the remaining fifty incendiary bombs, along with ten torches, into the gunpowder piled up in the warehouse.
He almost foresaw the impending violent explosion, and immediately led the daredevils to retreat quickly, beckoning the Xuanjia sergeants who were still entangled with the Ming army along the way to evacuate quickly. It was impossible for all the daredevils who participated in the raid to evacuate, and the rest of the sergeants who were still fighting with the Ming army could only die for the final victory.
"Boom, boom!"
Less than five minutes after Liu Yiliang led the crowd to evacuate, an earth-shattering explosion finally sounded in the Land Temple, as if the sky was falling apart, and the entire Jining City was trembling.
The first explosion had completely destroyed the Land Temple, followed by twenty explosions in a row. The continuous explosion completely engulfed the military camp of the Ming army in the east of the city, and the daredevils who were still fighting against the Ming army and had no time to retreat were not spared.
Even the city wall in the east of the city collapsed in the explosion, and all the houses in the east of the city were completely destroyed and razed to the ground, leaving no chickens and dogs behind.
Sun Chuanting, who was directing the operation on the spot in the south of the city, had already received the military information about the sneak attack on the military camp in the east of the city, and was about to send a sergeant to support, when he suddenly heard a deafening explosion in the east of the city, and even the military camp in the south of the city was shattered.
Sun Chuanting hurriedly left the barracks and looked at the east of the city, and the sight was the sky-high fire, as well as the smoke in the sky, which showed the power of the explosion in the east of the city, and it must have been detonated that the arsenal where gunpowder was stored was detonated.
A sergeant hurriedly came to report, "Inspector Sun, there was a big explosion in the east of the city, the arsenal is gone, the gunpowder is gone, and General Niu has been killed in battle." ”
The dawn of victory was just around the corner, but he didn't expect that at the dawn before the victory, the battle situation had a shocking reversal, Sun Chuanting was in cold sweat on his forehead, and he was almost unstable on his feet.
A sergeant rushed to the barracks again to report, "Inspector Sun, countless Xuanjia troops have come to attack the Zhongjun camp, everyone knows how to use witchcraft, set fire everywhere, and has broken through the two camps of the former barracks, which is overwhelming. Inspector Sun, run away! ”
Sun Chuanting scolded angrily, "Bastard! What hex?! Ridiculous! This is the last battle of the trapped beasts of the Xuanjia Army, and I must resist it to the death and repel the attack of the Xuanjia Army! ”
The sergeant knelt on the ground and cried, "Inspector Sun, the Xuanjia Army can really use demonic arts, our army has collapsed, the military situation is urgent, and it will be too late if you don't escape!" ”
Zheng Jiadong, the only one who was still with Sun Chuanting, also knew that it was indeed very unwilling, and the action of capturing and killing Fang Yuan was so unsuccessful. But unwilling to be unwilling, on the battlefield, once the defeat has been decided, it is a defeat like a mountain, and the possibility of turning the tables is very small, Zheng Jiadong immediately ordered, "Retreat!" Someone came, guarding Inspector Sun, and immediately retreated. ”
Sun Chuanting's overall plan was in vain, and he was so angry that he looked up to the sky and shouted, "God won't help me!" God doesn't help Daming! ”
He yelled a few times, couldn't keep up with his breath, and fainted.
"Kill!"
The shouting and killing sound of the Xuanjia army was getting closer and closer, Zheng Jiadong did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately decided to throw away the Ming army in the city, and only led 5,000 personal soldiers, with Sun Chuanting, who fainted to death, and retreated from the south gate in a hurry and went to the direction of Yanzhou City.
