Occasionally, one or two gunshots rang out on the Qin army's position, which filled the Zheng family army who rushed up.

In order to grab the first credit, many people are scrambling to rush forward, coupled with the narrow space of the mountaintop mountain, resulting in many people crowded together.

Suddenly, more than a dozen black objects flew out from the Qin army's position on the top of the mountain, crossed the parabola and landed in the dense crowd of Zheng Jiajun.

Zheng Jiajun had no concept of grenades, but the British only sold them muskets, but not grenades.

Looking at the smoking things under their feet, some people realized that it was not good, and when they were about to give a warning, the loud sound of "boom" sounded one after another, and the originally dense crowd was instantly put down in a large area.

Before Zheng Jiajun could react completely, many figures with guns suddenly appeared on the Qin army's position, and the muzzles of the guns were aimed at Zheng Jiajun, who was lucky but not dead, but looked confused.

"Fire!" As the command knife of the second lieutenant squad leader was chopped, a round of guns burst out, and the soldiers of the Zheng family army standing in front of them fell backwards as if they had been hit in the chest by a heavy hammer.

This sudden blow finally frightened Zheng Jun, who was running slowly, and turned around and ran down the mountain.

The lieutenant did not give the order to pursue, the big fish had not yet bitten the hook, and it was very likely that the attack would fall short.

The victory that was about to come turned into a fiasco in an instant, and Zheng Sen saw this scene clearly from the telescope.

The smile on his face froze, and then his face turned blue instantly, and he was so angry that he slammed the telescope in his hand to the ground.

"Rubbish! It's all rubbish! Zheng Sen's roar made the soldiers behind him tremble, and he bent his neck to pick up the binoculars on the ground, not daring to say more.

However, Zheng Sen is not a reckless person, he quickly realized his gaffe, and now is not the time to be angry.

He calmed himself down as much as he could, thought about it, and thought that the reason why the enemy was able to turn the tide of battle in an instant just now was that the black things that suddenly flew out were the key.

Those defeated soldiers were gathered up, Zheng Sen carefully inquired about the details just now, and understood that the things that caused huge losses to his side just now should be the Qin army's improved Heavenly Thunder.

The main principle is to throw out the pepper or pepper noodles in the middle of the sphere through the explosion of gunpowder, so as to achieve the effect of temporary breathlessness and temporary blindness of the enemy.

Of course, some are also meant to start a fire.

This earth-shattering thunder is more like a simple combination of smoke grenades and biological and chemical weapons of the modern army.

Because this kind of earth-shaking thunder is troublesome to make, and the effect in actual combat is not very good, it was not made much in the late Ming Dynasty.

With Zheng Sen's age, he naturally had never seen the real thing, but he had also read the records in the military books.

When I asked those defeated soldiers just now, I thought of this. But he couldn't figure out why the Heaven-Shaking Thunder made by Qin Jun was so powerful, and the shape was also a strange long-handled type.

But this is not the time to think about this, although he was angry just now, but now he also knows that this is not the time to be held responsible.

After all, the guards are all their own elite henchmen, so after some kind words to appease, the low morale was reunited.

Moreover, Zheng Sen also found that the enemy did not take the opportunity to chase and kill his defeated troops just now, which obviously confirmed his previous judgment.

The enemy's counterattack just now was more like a struggle before dying.

Therefore, although he was defeated just now, he was even more determined.

After Zheng Sen explained his judgment, the morale of the guards instantly rose a lot.

Those who can be selected into the guard are all good men in the Zheng family's army, and no one will be willing to endure defeat like this.

Now as soon as they heard that the enemy would run out of ammunition immediately, they all immediately gritted their teeth, rubbed their fists, and shouted one after another to kill all the Qin troops on the top of the mountain to avenge the revenge just now.

Zheng Sen saw that his morale was available, and his heart was much more steady.

However, he did not immediately give the order to attack again, but ordered to rest for a while and eat some dry food before attacking.

After all, the guards followed him and marched all night after fighting another battle just now, although they were all good men, they couldn't keep up with them physically.

When Zheng Jiajun was resting, the Qin Army's reconnaissance squadron was not idle.

After arranging the guard post, the rest of the people began to dig trenches and repair fortifications with great difficulty.

In the new army, repairing fortifications is also an essential skill for every soldier. Moreover, all the rapid reaction units of the Forces nouvelles and the soldiers of the New First Army were equipped with a collapsible sapper shovel.

Naturally, the sapper shovel was also purchased by Jiang Chuan from the mall of the base, and the price was not too expensive.

This kind of sapper shovel was sent to the troops, and it was immediately and strongly welcomed from all levels to the top.

In peacetime, it is used to dig trenches, repair fortifications, and can also be used as cooking utensils to barbecue meat and fried rice when marching in the field. It can also be used as a melee weapon in melee combat, which is absolutely useful.

And there are sharp serrations on the edge of the shovel, which are very useful for splitting heads or sawing trees.

Jiang Chuan's goal is to equip all soldiers of the New Army with an engineering shovel in the future, which is easy to carry and has various functions, and is definitely one of the essential artifacts for marching and combat.

The mountains in the south are mostly soft and soft, and the sharpness of the sapper shovel makes it very efficient to dig trenches and fortifications.

In a short time, a semicircular fortification as high as a man's chest had been dug on the top of the two hills on the left and right.

A number of foxholes were dug around the fortifications, depending on the terrain.

As soon as the fortifications were dug up, the company behind them also caught up.

The company behind the gunfire here had also heard it a long time ago, and the company commander rushed up and found the lieutenant captain of the reconnaissance squadron.

"Lao Liang, what's the situation now?" The company commander looked down with a telescope and asked.

The lieutenant captain explained the situation, and the company commander smiled and said: "Lao Liang, they all said that your reconnaissance squadron is the most thief, and it is true." Since we want to make the fish bigger, we can't miss it. ”

"You have been saying that a group of stunned guys, who are good at fighting tough battles, fishing still depends on us, this is a technical job, let you come to fish and run early." Lao Liang sneered.

"I don't like to hear this, I'm going to let you see our ability today." The commander of the first company is gone.

After the two first exchanged a few words, they began to discuss tactics in a muttering voice, and after a while, the two of them discussed, and the commander of the company went down the hill with a smile.

The Zheng Jiajun at the foot of the mountain rested for a while, ate dry food and began to regain their senses, and began to assemble, eager to try, ready to launch a second attack.
