Chapter 21: The Grenade Mighty

After Ma Yingkui and Yi Bangcai each led 1,000 men and horses out of the city from the east and west gates respectively, the speed of travel was not very fast. Ma and B rode on their horses and stared at the armored car tightly, both excited and nervous, if they hadn't seen the armored car attack the red-coated artillery position yesterday, and now let the two of them take a thousand men and horses to kick the Qing army camp, they would not have dared to be killed.

I heard that the grenade is very powerful, it turned out that there were twenty people in the two teams carrying this thing in their arms, and just now the angel's guard came back from the front ten people, I heard that there is also this grenade. Quickly protect these thirty people in the middle of the team like treasures, and when they saw the appearance of those people with their hands in their arms and their faces raised and swaggering, they wanted to step forward and kick them a few times.

Just how powerful this grenade is, both of them can't wait to try it. The two of them seemed to have made an appointment, and they both carried three grenades in their arms, which they had the cheekiness to ask Wang for when they were distributed yesterday.

Seeing that the armored vehicles had already rushed into the camp, both of them made their men and horses speed up, and in a moment, the two teams also entered the camp. The outermost tent is still intact, but there are many small holes in it, and the corpses of the Qing soldiers around the tent, some of them don't seem to be completely dead, and they are falling to the ground**. Ma Yingkui beckoned, and his soldiers quickly rushed up and used the knives and guns in their hands to help these ** wounded soldiers relieve their pain.

According to last night's deployment, these two groups of men and horses entered the Qing camp and advanced to attack on both sides. The Qing soldiers in the tents near both sides had run out, and the two teams chased for a while before they saw that the Qing soldiers in the brigade were fleeing.

As soon as he saw that the Qing soldiers were in front, Ma Yingkui raised the long saber in his hand and rushed forward with a slap on his horse. Seeing that it was not a strange car chasing after him, and there were no bullets like raindrops, the Qing soldiers suddenly lost their fear, and they turned back to meet Ma Yingkui's men and horses, and the two teams of men and horses fought together in an instant.

Ma Yingkui rushed into the Qing army array, the long knife in his hand slashed left and right, and in an instant, three Qing soldiers fell under the knife, Ma Yingkui only felt that he was killing heartily, and the sullenness of being trapped in the city for many days had also disappeared a lot. His soldiers also rushed up to fight with the Qing soldiers, but thirty bombardiers were still left behind.

The team that attacked to the left also caught up with the Qing soldiers, and this group of Qing soldiers reacted much faster than those on the right, and as soon as they saw the pursuers coming, they immediately turned around and met them.

Yi Bangcai did not rush forward, moved the spear in his hand to his left hand, took out a grenade from his arms with his right hand, held it tightly in his hand, and according to the method taught by Wang Qiang yesterday, he bit the pull ring with his mouth and pulled it out, staring at the group of Qing soldiers with the largest number of people in front of him and threw it over.

This time it happened to be thrown into the middle of this group of Qing soldiers, only to hear a loud "bang", seven or eight fell down in an instant, and a few people holding their arms and legs were shouting loudly in pain.

The Qing soldiers who were rushing back outside seemed to be frozen, and the formation of the back-rushing attack suddenly stopped.

The two fast grenadiers had already followed, took out the grenade from their arms, bit the ring and threw it at the Qing soldiers, and immediately fell down again.

A large group of Qing soldiers turned around and ran, and Yi Bang only then raised his spear, waved it back, shouted "kill" and chased after him.

Ma Yingkui, who was killing happily, was awakened by these three explosions, and only then did he remember that he still had this kind of thing in his hand, and looked up at the battlefield, although the Qing soldiers had been killed a lot, but the number was too many, and his own soldiers were also killed and wounded. Turning the horse's head, he shouted "All the armies retreat quickly", and when the Ming army heard this, they quickly retreated backwards, and soon formed a circle formation, and the pikemen formed a defensive formation in front. As soon as the Qing soldiers saw the Ming army retreating, they shouted and chased after them.

Ma Yingkui took out a grenade from his arms and threw it towards the Qing soldiers, his strength was indeed not small, although he was riding on a horse, this throw was still thrown fifty or sixty meters away, but this time he was thrown to the side of a Qing soldier general who was riding a horse and followed by a group of pro-soldiers, only to hear a loud noise, the Qing soldier general fell from the horse at once, and the pro-soldiers around him also fell five or six.

Ma Yingkui was overjoyed when he saw it, beckoned five or six people to come up with the bombardier, and all of them took out the grenade and pulled the ring and threw it towards the Qing soldiers who were pursuing, and five or six grenades exploded almost simultaneously at the thirty or forty meters in front, and suddenly a large death zone exploded in front of them.

The Qing soldiers behind didn't know whether they were stunned or frightened by the tragic scene in front of them, and they were stunned one by one, and only reacted after a while, turned around and ran backwards.

The tragic scene in front not only frightened the Qing soldiers, but also shocked Ma Yingkui to the point that he didn't know why, and he also stayed for a moment before he reacted, raised the long knife in his hand, and shouted, "Kill!" The horse rushed forward.

The grenadiers behind were also about to raise their knives and chase forward, but they saw a general shouting, "Don't chase you, come here, protect them in the middle!" Suddenly, more than a hundred people surrounded the thirty grenadiers in the middle, protecting them and pursuing them forward.

The Qing soldiers on both sides were frightened, and they only fled with their heads in their hands, Ma Yingkui and Yi Bang chased and killed all the way, and when they encountered the Qing soldiers turning back to meet them, they beckoned the grenadiers to come up and throw a few grenades, in addition to blowing up a piece, the rest turned around and ran, and the two felt really happy.
