237 worried

At the head of the line were rows of foot soldiers in tattered robes. There were horsemen on both sides of the formation. Although there are also infantry troops in the middle, their equipment is obviously not the same as the one in front, and even their mental outlook is different. It was as if there was a chasm, separating the armies in front and behind in half, and it was clear at a glance.

In the middle of the team, the forward general rode on a horse, held the whip in the distance with his right hand, and said in high spirits: "After the valley pass in front, you will reach Fugu County in about ten miles!" ”

"Last time, I was put on board by Lord Hong, who can only talk on paper, and I came here in excitement and returned in defeat. This time you are well prepared, and you must take revenge on the last time! ”

When his subordinates heard this, they felt the same way, and immediately echoed: "My lord is right, I was so aggrieved last time!" ”

"This time, the army is at its peak, and there are so many siege equipment prepared, it will definitely be able to take Fugu County!"

"Damn, if you don't kill ten or eight thieves this time, you won't be able to get out of this breath in your heart!"

“……”

When they were talking proudly, in the distance, Hu Guang was lying on the top of the valley while staring at the Ming army with a telescope, and asked Zhang Blacksmith next to him in a low voice: "How are the two groups of mines buried?" ”

"According to Childe's instructions, the group in the distance is a little deeper, and the one near is a little shallower." Blacksmith Zhang's palms were sweaty, and he replied with a dry mouth.

Hu Guang listened, was a little relieved, turned his head again, and glanced at the positions of the artillery company.

The three unconscionable cannons were placed not far from his side, and at that angle, it was a forty-five degree maximum range elevation angle, aiming at the second minefield in the distance. The explosive bag was already in the chamber, and the arquebus was already burning. It seems that everything is ready, just waiting for his own orders.

Hu Guang glanced at the others again, and when he saw that they had all prepared according to his instructions, he turned back and continued to observe the enemy's situation.

The Ming army still knew nothing. Walk forward in a marching column.

The mines are not far away, and this is mainly to take care of the range of the unconscionable cannon. As time passed, the Ming army got closer and closer, and it was no longer necessary to see the Ming army clearly without a telescope.

Hu Guang and the others who were observing the enemy's situation buried their heads lower. His eyes were fixed on the infantry at the front of the Ming army. Slowly enter the minefield.

No one noticed that Blacksmith Zhang's face was already sweating. As the first soldier of the Ming army stepped into the minefield, his hands were clenched into fists, and he was extremely nervous.

According to Childe's request, the mine in the first minefield could not be detonated immediately, so he buried it a little deep. I don't know if it will be stepped on after more people pass, or if it won't be heard at all?

One, two, three......

Rows of Ming troops quickly passed through the first minefield. The mine was not triggered, which made Blacksmith Zhang breathe a sigh of relief and at the same time began to worry that it was buried too deeply.

Until the vanguard of the Ming army was already close to the second minefield, the mines in the first minefield were still not triggered, which made Blacksmith Zhang regret a little, he must have buried himself too deeply. If you knew this, you should have advised Childe to let him try it first two days ago, so that he could know how deep it is.

He felt that the first group of thunder must have failed, and he felt that it had affected this most critical battle. Turning his head sideways, he whispered to Hu Guang in frustration: "Childe, I'm really useless." That first group of mines......"

At present, the marching column of the Ming army has not fully stepped into the minefield according to its own wishes, and it is what they need when the mines do not explode at this time. Hu Guang knew that Blacksmith Zhang had never fought before, and because he was in charge of burying the mines, he was nervous, and he was already worried before the time came.

Therefore, he whispered a "shhh Motioned for him to silence. The people at the front of the Ming army have already stepped into the second minefield, which is already very close to the ambush point, and if there is a disturbance here, it is likely to be seen by a certain Ming army.

Slowly, the Ming army at the forefront had passed through the minefield. It's getting closer and closer to Taniguchi. This has passed the reality of Hu Guang's request for mine detonation, and even if he is the most calm, he is a little anxious.

If the mines could not be detonated, the conscienceless cannon and other means alone could not cause a huge panic in the Ming army, and could not scare them, so they could be given a chance to react.

In broad daylight, as long as you calm down and observe a little, you can find that there are not many people on your side. If this is discovered by the Ming army, this sniping will be considered a failure!

Seeing that the Ming army was getting closer and closer to the ambush point at the mouth of the valley, Hu Guang was a little entangled, and then retreated to Fugu County, could it be that his people withdrew into the county seat and then fought?

Just when Hu Guang was about to make up his mind, he suddenly heard a loud "boom", and a huge smoke of gunpowder rose in the ranks of the Ming army.

As if hearing the sound of heaven, Hu Guang immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Once the mine has been detonated, there is no need to make another decision yourself.

Almost instantly, the sound of "boom boom" was continuous and deafening. Underground explosive pack mines are connected in tandem, and if a treadmill is detonated, it ignites all the fuses in the woodpipe. As long as there are no accidents, all the mines can be detonated.

Some of the Ming troops in the minefield were thrown away by the air wave of the explosion, and some were shocked to death or deaf by the sound of the explosion.

The Ming army had never been attacked by mines, and most of the strikers had not stepped into the minefield, and the Ming troops who had not been affected stood in place in panic, staring blankly at the smoke rising in front of them. The clever ones looked around, trying to figure out where the cannon was firing.

"Target, the Ming army in the first minefield, open fire!" Seeing this, Hu Guang immediately turned his head and ordered loudly.

Mines that can trigger the first minefield are the best, and even if they can't, they can't leave enough time for the Ming army to think, and the offensive must be launched immediately.

As soon as his words fell, the long-awaited artillerymen immediately lit the unconscionable cannon, and the sound of "boom, boom" sounded again.

The range was measured in advance, and the explosive package accurately fell into the Ming army in the first minefield, causing a cloud of mushrooms.

Either the earthquake triggered a mine, or the mine had been triggered before, and the fuse only ignited until now, and the mine in the first minefield exploded at the same time.

The mines in the first and second minefields were detonated one after another, and the smoke of gunpowder suddenly filled the air, and in the area near the valley mouth, it was impossible to see people at all.

The vanguard of the Ming army was stunned by the deafening sound of continuous explosions, and when he looked up, it was all gunpowder smoke.

In the midst of a huge explosion, the sound of artillery firing was also heard. The sound of muskets also rang out, one after another, as if there were many.

The Ming army, who was originally stunned by the bombing, came back to their senses at this time, and when they heard the sound of the musket, even if they were stupid, they knew what was going on, and they all stayed away from Taniguchi.

When the tip of the ear heard the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, he could no longer care, turned around and ran back.

When the vanguard of the Ming army saw this situation, he found the dust raised on the side of the valley mouth, and as a veteran of the battlefield, he naturally knew that it was dust that could only be brought up by a large number of cavalry. (To be continued......)
