Chapter 314: A Way in Despair

Fifty steps... Forty steps....thirty steps......

The densely packed, swarming traitors had just rushed into the range of the grenade attack, and a loud shout rang out in the skirmish line of hundreds of tiger and leopard musketeers.

"Throw a grenade and blow up these traitors who are inferior to brutes..."

Hundreds of smoky grenades, after drawing beautiful arcs in the air, smashed steadily in front of the traitor.

The grenade exploded when it landed, and a ball of fireball rose into the air, quickly enveloping the trench thirty paces in front of it. As for the traitors who rushed into the smoke of gunpowder without fear of death, under the attack of the fragments of the grenades in the rainstorm, it was as if they had crashed into an impregnable copper wall, and they fell to the ground one after another, turning into corpses.

Soon, on the battlefield filled with gunsmoke, a thick layer of traitorous corpses fell.

The traitors continued to fall in pools of blood, and the grenades thrown by the Haw Par Army also exploded in front of the traitors, producing waves of grenade fragments like a steel storm.

As the grenade explosions stopped, the hundreds of traitor musketeers who went out of the city to counterattack under the attack of more than two thousand grenades finally failed to approach the trench where the Haw Par Army was digging...

When the smoke that shrouded the battlefield completely cleared, a dense layer of corpses had fallen on the battlefield thirty paces away from the trench. It's like a wall of corpses, blocking the front of the tiger and leopard army.

On the city wall, he saw the grenade he had seen half a year ago, and once again blew up the hundreds of elites who had left the city in the blink of an eye. Traitor Coach Wu Jingtian's face quickly flashed a trace of shock, and he exclaimed loudly.

"Ben Shuai actually forgot. The Haw Par Army still has a hand grenade in their hands..."

"Ben Shuai had learned the power of this murderous weapon half a year ago. It's so powerful. After returning to Shaanxi. I've also had people build it many times. However, because there is no prototype, there is no way to create it until now......"

"It's just, it's a pity for the hundreds of pikemen who just got out of town..."

The military advisor next to him followed and said, "Commander... The death of these brothers is not meaningless....in the battle just now, they consumed at least a thousand flowering shells and thousands of grenades of the Haw Par Army..."

In response to this self-comforting answer, Wu Jingtian only nodded and stopped talking.

And at this very moment. The hundreds of tigers and leopards who had successfully eliminated the traitors out of the city waved their shovels again and began to deepen and widen the trench that had slowly formed beneath their feet.

As time passed little by little, Wu Jingtian, who did not want to send a counteroffensive force out of the city to die again, could only watch the trench a hundred steps away from two feet deep to three feet, and then to five feet, and finally, completely hide the bodies of the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army in the trench.

Just in the opinion of everyone, including Wu Jingtian. After the completion of the trench a hundred paces away, the plan of the Haw Par Army to dig the trench will be completed. When you are ready to use the trench to launch an attack on yourself.

To everyone's surprise, as a large number of musketeers entered the trench, they raised their muskets, aimed at the city, and made a shooting motion. Dozens of tiger and leopard troops unexpectedly waved their sapper shovels again and continued to dig trenches more than one person deep along the vertical direction of the city wall......

"Could it be that the tiger and leopard army outside the city plans to dig the trench directly to the foot of the city wall......" Wu Jingtian, who was full of shock, quickly furrowed his brows, and muttered to himself with a puzzled face.

At this time, the middle-aged military advisor standing beside him, under the reminder of this sentence, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Dashuai, the student knows..."

"The Haw Par Army, the Haw Par Army outside the city must be trying to dig the trenches under the corners of the city walls, and then use explosives packs to blow up the city walls under our feet. In this way, the tiger and leopard army outside the city can rush into the city from the breach..."

The military advisor's answer directly made a very tragic picture appear in Wu Jingtian's head.

As the trenches quickly extended to the corners of the city walls, packets of black powder were also piled up under the corners of the city walls by the Haw Par Army.

After the explosives package was ignited by the Haw Par Army and exploded, the seemingly impregnable city wall under his feet was directly blasted by the explosives to create a huge gap more than ten zhang wide.

Subsequently, the tidal wave of the Tiger and Leopard Army could pour into the county from the gap under the cover of flowering bombs...

Without the support of the city wall, in the face of the Haw Par Army that has poured into the county, the remaining more than 10,000 brothers under his command will become the target of slaughter by the Haw Par Army...

After the city was broken, not only the more than 10,000 brothers under his command, but even himself, could not escape the fate of being slaughtered by the Haw Par Army...

Thinking of this, Wu Jingtian's face full of shock quickly appeared with an expression full of fear.

The whole person, as if he had gone crazy in an instant, shouted at the military advisor: "Counterattack, order the brothers to go out of the city immediately to counterattack... In any case, we must not allow the trenches of the Haw Par Army to reach under the corners of our walls. Otherwise, after the city wall is blown up by the Haw Par Army, all of us here will be killed by the Haw Par Army..."

"Strategist, this commander now orders you to find a way to stop the Tiger and Par Army from continuing to dig trenches on the city wall......"

For a while, everyone focused their eyes on the military advisor, waiting for the military advisor's solution.

As everyone waited with great expectations, the embarrassed military advisor had to reply: "Commander, the students don't have a good way....The students think that the only thing we can do now is to continue to fight back..."

"As long as we can strangle with the Haw Par Army outside the city, even if our two brothers exchange the lives of the Haw Par Army outside the city, the Haw Par Army outside the city will have to retreat because of heavy losses."

As soon as the military advisor finished speaking, in the counterattack just now, the pikeman commander, who had lost thousands of subordinates, asked rhetorically with a mocking face: "Counterattack....The Haw Par Army has flowering bullets in their hands, and there are grenades that are no less powerful than flowering bullets... In such a situation, what is the difference between launching a counterattack on the Haw Par Army outside the city and sending them to death-......"

"Yes....The Haw Par Army has flowering shells, grenades, and muskets with a longer range than ours....go out of the city to counterattack, that is, to die..."

At this time, the eyes of several people converged on the military advisor again.

The military advisor with a frown on his brows had to bite the bullet and continued: "Since it will not work to launch a counteroffensive against the Tiger and Leopard Army, then we will dig trenches just like the Tiger and Leopard Army outside the city..."

"As long as we dig the same trench in front of the Tiger and Leopard Army, the trench that the Tiger and Leopard Army is digging will not be able to extend under the corner of our city wall. Not only that, but the brothers can also use the trench to dodge the buckshot fired at us by the Haw Par Army..." (To be continued......
