Chapter 237: Offensive and Defensive Battle (9)

Gunpowder packets rained down on the walls on both sides of the city gate, falling into the ranks of the retreating rebels, and the sound of "boom" explosions resounded under the city walls again......

The crowded and fleeing rebels crowded several passages on the moat, and many rebel soldiers were pushed directly into the moat.

The rebel soldiers, who only wanted to flee back to the camp, rushed across the moat and rushed directly into the rebel firearms queue.

As the saying goes, "the defeat is like a mountain", it is not an exaggeration to describe the escape scene of the rebels now, and the chaotic scene is difficult for even Mao Chenglu to control the situation, so he had to turn around and flee to the rebel camp under the escort of his own guards.

Huang Jinjiang looked at the scene of the rebel soldiers under the city fleeing the road, and slapped the battlements with his hand and said loudly: "It's good to blow up, it's easy for the rebels in Pingdu City to come, but it's difficult to leave!" ”

"We all know that gunpowder can explode, and gunpowder can be used to fire guns, but who would have thought that the explosion of gunpowder could inflict a huge blow on the enemy." Qin Mazi, who was standing beside Feng Jian, looked at Feng Jian with reverence.

Huang Jinjiang also said with admiration: "Today, the rebels invested 10,000 foot soldiers plus dozens of chariots to attack Cheng'en Gate, and if the defenders of the Zhenshan Battalion at the head of the city did not have the deterrence of gunpowder packs, they would have to pay heavy casualties to defend the city wall." ”

The appearance of the gunpowder bag played a role in turning the tide of the battle in two consecutive battles, the first time was in Dengzhou Shuicheng, where the commander used the gunpowder bag to blast the ice and safely transfer the naval division warship.

This time, in the face of Kong Youde's rebels, they attacked wildly. At the most critical moment, the gunpowder pack exploded in the rebel column, directly causing the siege rebels to collapse and flee.

As Feng Jian's side guard. Huang Jinjiang, Qin Mazi and others couldn't be clearer about all this.

Qin Mazi said: "I dare to say, if there is no commander to strategize. Without the Zhenshan battalion to defend the city, this Pingdu City would have been captured by the rebels long ago."

Feng Jian was also in a relaxed mood at this time, smiled and nodded Huang Jinjiang and Qin Mazi with his hand and said: "I really didn't find out, Mazi went to the capital for a class, and he is good at slapping sycophants, and even with Omi's sycophants, he is also good at it." ”

Qin Mazi also said anxiously: "My subordinates are not afraid of sycophants, but I sincerely respect the commander's whimsy, and under your series of correct commands, it is only under your leadership that my Zhenshan Battalion has won victories one after another." In particular, this powder bag can even have a turning effect on the tide of the battle against the enemy. ”

Huang Jinjiang also smiled: "These subordinates are your personal guards, we are in awe and admiration of you, what I say is from the bottom of my heart, and I am not patting you on the back." However, my subordinates are a little worried, will this gunpowder bag be imitated by the rebels and used against my soldiers in the Earthquake Mountain Battalion? ”

Feng Jian was quite moved in his heart, these guards tied their net worth and life to themselves, and did not hesitate to give up their lives for themselves at the critical moment, these Feng Jian knew it.

Hearing Huang Jinjiang's worries. Feng Jian shook his head and said: "Probably not, the gunpowder bag seems to be simple to make, as long as there is enough gunpowder, it can be made at any time, but making a gunpowder bag also requires certain skills." For example, to make a powder line, you must master certain skills, how to make the powder line unstoppable, and then quickly ignite the explosives. These require skill. Therefore, it is difficult for the enemy to imitate the powder bag in a short time. ”

"Great!" Huang Jinjiang slapped the battlements fiercely, "This gunpowder will be my weapon to kill the enemy in the Zhenshan Camp in the future." Specializing in killing those who dare to oppose my Quake Mountain Camp. ”

Feng Jian looked at the defeated rebels under the city and said, "Today is just a small test, and in the future, this commander will make an iron gunpowder bag." That's the real weapon to kill the enemy. ”

Huang Jinjiang hurriedly nodded and said with a smile: "The subordinates are looking forward to the commander making this iron gunpowder bag as soon as possible to use against the enemy on the battlefield!" ”

Qin Mazi was a little puzzled, in his impression, iron gunpowder packs can be much harder than paper gunpowder packs, and using gunpowder to wrap them will reduce the explosive power of gunpowder, why does the commander say that iron gunpowder packs are the real killer weapons?

Feng Jian waved his hand and smiled: "Let's go, the rebels have fled, and we can't let go of this opportunity to beat the water dogs." Throwing down this sentence, he walked towards Zhao Shougang first.

Qin Mazi was stunned, Huang Jinjiang and other guards had already left with Feng Jian, Qin Mazi couldn't figure it out, so he had to scratch his scalp and follow......

Outside the city gate, the rebels fled from the city wall in a hurry, and the soldiers of the Zhenshan battalion at the head of the city had stopped throwing gunpowder packs, and only the soldiers at the head of the city were still chasing the rebels and shooting.

Outside the gate of Wengcheng, Fan Li's two tiger squatting cannons have not stopped shelling.

Zhao Shougang held a telescope to observe the situation of the rebel camp, and saw that the cavalry that had not moved in front of the rebel formation was divided into two parts, one of which was still on guard in place, and the other part of the cavalry began to slowly ride their horses to the fleeing soldiers, obviously intending to prevent the rebels from fleeing and be wary of the surprise attack of the defenders in the city.

Zhao Shougang put down the binoculars and was a little hesitant to open the city gate and send troops to pursue the rebels, he was afraid that the sudden counterattack of the rebels' cavalry would cause casualties among the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion who were out of the city to pursue.

Feng Jian's voice suddenly came from behind him: "This is a good opportunity to beat the water dog, what are you hesitating about?" ”

Zhao Shougang hurriedly turned his head and handed the telescope to Feng Jian and said: "Commander, please see, Kong Youde has already sent chariot cavalry to meet the fleeing rebels, and his subordinates feel that my Zhenshan battalion is not strong enough, and it is also necessary to defend the city and fight, so it is inconvenient to attack rashly." ”

Feng Jian didn't take the binoculars, and said lightly: "As a commander, you must immediately order the execution of what you see, the fighter plane is fleeting, and you must not hesitate on the battlefield." Now the rebels under the city are like lost dogs, and the rebel cavalry has no energy to launch a counterattack against me. Although our army has a small number of troops, its morale is high at this time, and the pursuit of the rebels is the best time to establish the soldiers' belief in victory. ”

Zhao Shougang planned meticulously and comprehensively in the deployment of troops, but lacked Feng Jian's indomitable momentum. Now hearing Feng Jian's slightly scolding words, a layer of sweat suddenly appeared on the dark face that was illuminated by the sun.

Hurriedly saluted Feng Jian, and said with shame: "My subordinates will send troops out of the city to pursue the rebels......

Seeing Zhao Shougang's uncomfortable appearance, Feng Jian felt that his words were too harsh, so he slowed down his voice and explained to Zhao Shougang: "The purpose of pursuing the rebels is to undermine their morale, and when the rebels attack the city again, they will be afraid, so that the soldiers of our Zhenshan Battalion can defend the city." ”

Zhao Shougang was moved, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, commander, his subordinates will dispatch and arrange troops." At the head of the city, only Xilao's Western cannons and the bird-fired soldiers on the enemy platform were left to defend, and the rest of the soldiers defending the city were led by their subordinates to go out of the city to pursue the enemy. ”

Feng Jiantou said: "The specific way to send troops is up to you, the city head ordered Xilao's Western artillery to aim at the rebel cavalry, once it enters the range of artillery attack, it should be able to continue to fire, immediately fire artillery bombardment, our soldiers out of the city to chase the enemy must not exceed the range of artillery attack, that is to say, our soldiers are within three or four miles from the city to encircle and suppress the rebels." ”

"My subordinates have been taught!"

Feng Jian pointed to the position of Fan Li and the others at the gate of Wengcheng and said: "Fan Li, these five hundred people just shot at the rebel firearms soldiers, and there must be a lot of casualties among them, so by the way, a medical team was sent to ambulance and treatment." ”

Fan Li and his five hundred soldiers were attacked by the rebel firearms on both sides of the city wall just now, and more than a dozen soldiers were killed and wounded.

Now all the rebels under the city have joined the rout, and the ground is full of weapons and blades thrown by the rebels, and what excites Fan Li the most is that the thirty-six chariots used by the rebels to attack the city have all been abandoned outside the city gate, and the soldiers on the chariots have already run clean.

The power of the rocket car and the general's car is obvious to all, and the gate of the urn city was bombarded by the Franc cannon carried on the general's car, and it was directly turned into smithereens.

And the urn city was even more potted by the divine fire flying crow carried on the rocket car.

The twenty carriages are also very powerful, each car can carry twenty bird soldiers, used on the battlefield, the bird soldiers only need to fire in the birds, there is a strong carriage defense, there is no need to worry about the enemy's damage.

Now these thirty-six chariots have officially become the trophies of the Zhenshan battalion, which is indeed exciting, and Fan Li even decided to go back and ask the commander to deploy these thirty-six chariots to the teaching team.

Fan Li heard the commander mention that this chariot was specially used to deal with cavalry on the battlefield, but the rebels used it to attack the city, which was simply a tyrannical thing.

Looking at the fleeing rebels, Fan Li's thoughts were the same as Huang Jinjiang's: "Hmph, these rebels are easy to come, and if you want to leave, you have to pay the price!" ”

Fan Li ordered loudly: "Leave a squad to take care of the casualties, and the rest of the soldiers will follow me to pursue the rebels." ”

I have to say that these Feng Jian guards have more or less learned Feng Jian's resolute, resolute and risk-taking qualities.

The fleeing rebels are like a herd of cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and Fan Li and other Zhenshan battalion soldiers are also ruthless in slashing and killing, killing these rebels is to eliminate the harm of the surrounding victims!

On the battlefield, Fan Li's 500 people chased nearly 10,000 rebels, and the rebels who didn't have time to escape often fell to their knees in pieces and surrendered to Fan Li's 500 people.

Gradually, Fan Li and other 500 people chased to the front of the fleeing rebels, and Fan Li suddenly found that there were many rebel cavalry on the opposite side, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves shook the earth.

The soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion were dumbfounded, they had less than 500 people, and they were not enough to see in front of thousands of rebel cavalry, and if the other party charged themselves, these people would be killed in Jiuquan.

After a period of panic, Fan Li first forced himself to stabilize his mind, he looked at the rebel cavalry a mile away, knowing that fleeing now would not only be useless, but would be defeated faster, only by lining up the formation as usual training, maybe there would be a glimmer of life.

Fan Li turned his head and shouted loudly: "Don't panic, brothers of the Zhenshan Battalion, now listen to our military orders, all the soldiers will immediately line up, and the bird soldiers will enter the firing state." ”

Good training and strict military discipline made this team of 500 people, when facing the rebel cavalry in front, although the soldiers knew that this was a bad luck, but not a single one escaped, let alone a noisy phenomenon, but quickly lined up in formation to meet the incoming enemy.
