Chapter 746: The Road to Death
When the soldiers saw that Lord Dutong had stopped, they immediately asked Gekun, the leader of the third-class guards. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Muli Tiger Road is not suitable to stay here for a long time, and the departments are asked to speed up the speed of the horse. The full army galloped again, and the sound of hooves echoed in the valley. The official road here is more than ten miles long, there is a lake on the right side of the west side of the road, this lake is not big, there is a comparison with the Mochou Lake in Jiangning City, and the water gathers from several small rivers on the right side of the mountain.
The full army galloped past the lake, and Ge Kun saw a fishing boat on the lake, and there were three or four people standing on the boat, with net scarves wrapped around their heads, all dressed as bright people!
This scene is too strange to be amazed by the soldiers.
But before the soldiers could ask, one of the people on the ship took out an object and pointed it to the sky, and from a distance, there was a fire at the tail of the thing, and then "Whoosh!" With a bang, a red light rushed up to the sky, like a firecracker drilled into the sky by the Han people. The Screaming Drill Dragon soared into the air and exploded in mid-air.
"Not good, there is an ambush!"
The soldiers were shocked, and Ge Kun was about to warn, but heard dozens of screams coming from the slopes on both sides of the official road. Turning his head to look, he was shocked - there were countless red flags on the slope where there was no one at this moment, and then they fired a salvo of guns, shouting to kill and shake the sky. At this moment, the soldiers did not know that they had been ambushed.
"Get out!"
Mu Lihu's face changed rapidly, but he did not hesitate for a moment, raised his whip and whipped his mount, wanting to lead the full army to rush out of this official road, otherwise he would not be able to move away and would be ambushed. Only by getting out of this place of death first can we try to pick up Prince An to come out.
All the soldiers also knew that the situation was critical, and they rushed forward one after another. They had already crossed most of the official road, and they only had to turn the bend in front of them to stand out.
The ambush soldiers on the mountain were in the middle of the slope, and they could not rush down to block it for a while, and they saw that the breakthrough was promising, and the soldiers were overjoyed, but after turning the corner, everyone changed color.
Directly ahead, countless spears stood in a row; Under the spear, there are piles of ironclad people!
Seeing the ironclad soldiers in front of him, Mu Lihu couldn't help but think of the bandit ironmen they said in Daya Dali, and his mind couldn't turn around, and he didn't know how the bandits who had retreated to the mouth of the river came here!
However, at this time, Mu Lihu was no longer allowed to consider whether to advance or retreat, so he could only rush forward with his head. Although the ironclad elite soldiers are powerful, they have not been defeated. Liang Huafeng's Han people can kill more than 10,000 ironclad soldiers, and I am really a Manchurian soldier!
"Here comes the Tartars!"
"Prepare for war!"
"Kill!"
Eight hundred Iron Man guards stomped their feet, shaking the ground.
The blind man Li Yiru carried the sledgehammer on his shoulders and stared straight at the soldiers rushing towards him.
The full army cannot retreat, only rush forward.
Ge Kun's heart trembled slightly, but he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, only pulled out the long knife.
There were no full soldiers to take the cavalry bows on their bodies, because they knew that the ironclad soldiers on the opposite side could not be dispersed by arrows. If you want to defeat the opponent, you can only have courage and use the rush of the warhorse.
This is a hard-fought battle, in the words of the Han people, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road!
What happened to Prince An and the Han army, Mu Lihu couldn't care about it, and now, he only had the ironclad enemy soldiers in front of him. If he can't rush over, he knows what the consequences will be.
"Kill!"
The soldiers bared their hideous yellow fangs and roared from their throats. The roar concealed some of the uneasiness and fear in their hearts; The roar stirred out their ferocity; The roar made them fearless.
The horses felt the courage of their masters, and they galloped forward with all their might. The horse's hooves fell to the ground in unison, and then rose into the air, revealing graceful curves.
When the sharp-eyed soldier unintentionally landed on the ground with the bump of the war horse, he found that the road below him seemed to be a little wrong, and the color seemed to be much darker.
Some soldiers were confused, and some soldiers didn't take it seriously, because the land in China is already changeable, and there are a lot of oil mud and black soil in the south of the Yangtze River, so it is not strange that a section of black mud suddenly appears.
Gekun noticed that something was wrong, because this section of the road was very smooth, which could be seen from the fact that the war horse could step on it smoothly. However, he could see very clearly that every time the hooves of the horses in front of him were raised, they always brought something like black earth. It's not like plant ash, it's not like dust, but it's a bit like gunpowder used by the Han army.
Ge Kun suddenly felt that his heart was "fluttering" wildly, as if he was about to jump out of his chest. He was sure that the horse's hooves were carrying gunpowder, and the whole ground was full of gunpowder, and this was a road of death paved with gunpowder!
"Ahh
Gekun screamed, but the soldiers didn't notice that there was something wrong with the leader, only that the leader was roaring.
Guo Lihu sensed that something was wrong, but instead of discovering the danger on the ground, he saw that the enemy general in front of him was actually standing there with a torch.
The blind man Li has been waiting, waiting for most of the full army to embark on the road of gunpowder. The road to death ahead was paved with no less than 3,000 catties of gunpowder, which was a big deal that the Taiping Army had never had since its formation, and it was extravagant for those soldiers to be tongue-in-cheek. Now these Manchurian Tartars will pay for the luxury of the marshal.
"Go!"
The blind man Li roared and threw the torch in his hand forward with all his might.
As if frozen in frame, Mu Lihu and the soldiers looked straight at the torch that flew into the air, and they only had one question in their hearts: What did the thief do with throwing this torch?
Ge Kun also saw the torch thrown in front of him, his hands and feet were cold, and he sat on the horse and felt that the seven souls and six spirits were gone, like the walking dead.
The torches fell to the ground with a bang under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes.
At the moment of landing, a dazzling light came from the ground, first green smoke, and then a loud "boom".
The soldiers finally knew what the torch was for, but it was too late.
The loud explosion shook the entire Fang Mountain, muffling out the shouts of everyone in the mountain. The rising black smoke can be seen clearly from more than ten miles away.
The shock wave of the explosion was so strong that the blind man Lee was shocked and took a few steps back, slamming into the shield behind him.
Rao is fully prepared, and the iron guards with cotton in their ears were also shocked by the earth-shattering explosion, and their eardrums hurt if they didn't open their mouths one by one, I'm afraid they would really be deaf.
After the smoke passed, the Iron Guards saw a dead body in front of them. Humans, horses, corpses were broken everywhere, internal organs, hearts and lungs were all over the mountains, and bombed everywhere. The smell of blood in the air far suppressed the choking smell of gunpowder, and at that moment, the Iron Guards felt that the smell of gunpowder was better.
It was terrible to see, the soldiers who did not die wailed on the ground, some broke their legs, some broke their hands, some were blown off by the waist, and some were pressed by their mounts and could not move.
The corpses of four or five hundred men and horses turned the official road into a hell on earth.
The soldiers who fell behind and were lucky enough not to step into the powder array were all stunned, and they all trembled immediately.
"Kill them all!"
With a wave of the blind man's hammer, the iron guards instantly rose straight from the ground and stepped forward in unison. (To be continued.) )
