The 500 cavalry did not make contact with the 2,000 cavalry of the Qing army at all, and after rushing out of the battle formation, they turned to the front line, one by one lying on their horses, holding grenades in their hands, ready to ignite the fuse when they approached. The fire fold had already been fixed to the edge of the saddle, and the cavalry warrior only had to lean the fuse on it.

The speed at which the horses ran at full strength was quite astonishing, and in the blink of an eye, the cavalry troops approached the shield chariots of the Qing army. When the two sides were thirty meters apart, the commander of the cavalry team, that is, several squadron leaders, shouted loudly: "Ready, throw!" ”

The cavalry approached the shield chariot battle array, and then turned to the right again, the war horse and the shield chariot kept a distance of about thirty meters, and the cavalry threw the grenades in their hands at the Qing army with the help of horsepower at this time, and the main target was those shield chariots. Of course, not everyone's accuracy was so good, only one-third of them had their grenades still on or near the shield cart, and most of the others had overdone them and thrown them into the queue of the Qing army behind the shield cart.

The Mawei Army has a special grenadier for each battle, which can be regarded as leading the world, and so far no country in the East has been equipped with grenadiers. But at this time there were such troops in Europe, and the European Army had turned the grenadiers into a military department, that is, infantry in the army that could throw grenades. This thing is not much different from the grenades of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, at this time, whether it is this grenade of the Matail Army or the grenade of Europe, the volume and weight are similar to small artillery shells. Therefore, the grenadiers were selected from the army to have excellent arm strength. Only they have the means to throw.

In Europe. Grenadiers need to throw grenades at the enemy in front of their own battle line in battle, so the title of grenadier is used as an honorary title in European armies to recognize the heroic fighting table of soldiers, and it also shows that grenadiers are the elite and best of the infantry. The grenadiers on the side of the Mawei Army, under normal circumstances, do not take the initiative to run to the front to throw grenades, they are all artillery first, shelling first, and approaching the grenades in use.

This grenadier can be regarded as an early short-range artillery unit, and their combat style is more like infantry. However, judging from the results of previous battles with the Qing army, the grenadiers are a combat unit that can blow up buildings quickly and smoothly. Fighting back against infantry with grenadiers on the battlefield is really good, and not only that, they can also fight against artillery, but to die in the field against cavalry is like hitting a stone with an egg, so grenadiers are not alone, they must fight with other troops.

Fu Biao frowned, judging from the current battle situation, the Qing army has used shield chariots in these battles with the Mawei army. It seems that they have found a way to deal with the horsetail rifle phalanx. That is to take the lead with the shield cart, and then the foot soldiers advance under the cover of the shield cart. Although there will be some losses in this, this kind of casualties is an acceptable way in the case of superior forces, as long as they can defeat their own phalanx, even if it is only once, it can greatly shock the morale of the Qing army. The pearl in front of him and Zhou Peigong on the other side are all fighting this idea, as long as they succeed once, they will achieve their goal.

As for their own side, whether it is the first brigade or the second brigade, wherever the phalanx is crushed, the Qing cavalry behind will pounce on them like hungry wolves, and the horsetail soldiers who have lost the distance advantage will be useless with their rifles, and will be slaughtered like lambs to the slaughter.

The grenades had already been thrown, and each cavalryman had taken the grenade out of his hand and galloped back to his own position, without looking back, regardless of what would happen to the grenade when it exploded. The grenades in the hands of the cavalry were not a single one, but two bundled together, although the two together would become a little heavier, but with the help of horsepower, it was not a problem to throw thirty or forty meters at all. It turned out that with the help of horsepower, most of the grenades were thrown at a distance of fifty meters due to inertia.

More than a hundred bundled grenades landed next to the shield cart, or smashed directly on the shield cart, and in just two seconds, these grenades exploded. Previously, these Qing soldiers were still wondering, why didn't these horsetail cavalry draw their bows and shoot arrows and did not charge into battle? Otherwise, what are they running here for, scaring them? was puzzled, but only saw countless black dots flying from the sky towards him, although the Qing army standing in the front of the line hiding behind the shield car and the Qing army holding a heavy shield did not know what it was, but with the soldiers' natural sense of smell on the battlefield, they knew that what the horsetail army threw over would definitely not be a good thing.

The Qing soldiers who were standing at the front and hiding behind the shield cart and the Qing army who were holding heavy shields did not hesitate to hide behind the shield cart or subconsciously raised the heavy shield in their hands to protect themselves, and then they heard a knocking sound, as if they had been hit by a stone. However, many grenades flew over their heads and fell into the military formation behind. The Qing soldiers who were smashed were also miserable, this thing is a big lump, it is still made of iron, but it is quite heavy, and it is really fatal to be smashed on the body, and the unlucky ones who were smashed on the head also had a life.

Especially many Qing soldiers in the back, there were really a lot of tragic ones who were directly hit in the head, and their heads were immediately opened. The Qing soldiers who were not hit looked down, but found that there was a black spherical thing lying at their feet, still rolling forward.

"Boom Boom"

"Boom Boom"

"Boom Boom"

Just when these Qing soldiers were puzzled, these "iron bumps" under their feet exploded violently, and a large number of Qing soldiers who had not had time to close their mouths were pushed into the sky by a huge wave of qi, and people within a radius of ten steps with the grenade on the ground as the center were all killed. This explosion seemed to be like a primer, and suddenly, the formation of the Qing army's shield car wrapped up layer by layer seemed to be punched hard by an invisible huge fist, countless explosions came and went, and the huge air wave bombarded the Qing soldiers in the Qing army's formation into the sky, and the originally seemingly indestructible shield car defensive offensive formation was blown to pieces in an instant.

The loud explosion attracted the attention of the entire battlefield, and this place was now more lively than the artillery position of the Mawei Army and the artillery position of the Qing Army more than a few hundred meters away. See this. Everyone was dumbfounded. Mingzhu, in particular, couldn't believe her eyes. It was in the explosion just now. The attack formation formed by the shield carts was instantly destroyed, and the few remaining scattered shield carts could no longer play the role of shelter.

Compared with the people who have not yet come from this round of explosions, the cavalry troops have already run away for hundreds of meters, and they are far away from the shield car at the moment of the explosion, but when many grenades explode, the violent explosion sound has choked these new cavalrymen who have joined the Mawei Army, and the war horses under them are also a little uncontrollable. Fortunately, some time ago, these war horses experienced two battles. I could hear such an explosion, otherwise 500 horses would have to blow up the herd. At the end of the explosion, these cavalrymen could not help but turn their heads to look. They were shocked when they saw that the shield cart of the Qing army was almost completely destroyed by the grenade, revealing the soldiers of the Qing army's Shenji Battalion who were still at a loss behind them, as well as the many corpses of the Qing army lying densely on the ground.

"Did this yourself?" These cavalrymen couldn't believe when they were so powerful. No, it's the power of a grenade explosion that doesn't have much to do with them. But just like that, they were still shocked. All of a sudden, I felt more important.

Now that the protection of the shield car has been lost, these Qing troops in front of them are like being pried open of a hard shell. Fragile entrails are exposed.

"What are you doing in the cold! Shoot! ”

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

The gunfire on the side of the First Brigade rang out again, aiming at these soldiers of the Shenji Battalion of the Qing Army not far away, and then pulled the trigger. On the side of the Shenji Battalion of the Qing Army, after the grenade exploded, they were almost stupid, but the officers leading the army reacted quickly, immediately organized the team to form a five-line formation, walked forward a few steps quickly, and then began to shoot at the Mawei Army with their guns.

This is only eighty meters away, the Mawei Army's Minnie bullet is exerting its maximum power, and the arquebus on the Qing army's side has been loaded with lead bullets before, and when it shoots at the Mawei Army's side, although there is a burst of white smoke floating in the sky, it does not hurt a few Mawei Army soldiers. The Qing army's muskets were not powerful, they could almost hit at a distance of eighty meters, but they had no power. Although thirty or forty of the horsetail soldiers in the front column were wounded, they were all right, the lead bullet did not penetrate deep into the flesh, and few were hit to the vital point.

The Qing army followed closely not only by this part of the Shenji Battalion troops, but also by many Qing archers with a total number of more than 1,000. The range of the elm bow in the hands of this archer army was not small, and many Qing archers shot their arrows eighty meters away, and seventy or eighty horsetail soldiers were hit, and fifteen of them were killed.

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

The horsetail army continued to sound round after round of gunfire, and the call of death came again. At this distance, the Minnie bullets fired by the Mawei soldiers were much stronger, and the Qing troops who were hit by the Minnie bullets basically had no chance to stand up. The power of Mini bullets is not at all something that ordinary armor can block, naturally one shot at a time, and it will definitely die.

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

The three-pounder cannon also began to exert its power again at this time, just now there was a shield car to block the bullet, this is good, the Qing army no longer has anything to cover, a slip of the three-pounder cannon spit out a large number of scattered bullets, split the head and cover the face on the body of the Qing sergeant. The bullets shot down in this way were more powerful than the Mini bullets that were constantly fired in the troops, and it was really a big sweep.

At a distance of forty or fifty meters in the middle, in fact, the Qing army could rush to the Mawei Army in five or six seconds of wild running, but at this time, the Qing army was also frightened and dared not continue to joke with their lives. In fact, it is not easy for these Qing troops to rush into the phalanx of the Mawei Army, just three meters away in front of the Mawei Army formation, but there is a trench of one meter and five wide, nearly two meters deep, the Qing army rushed to the front, even if the people in the first row can cross over, the back is bound to fall into the trench if they can't see clearly.

The musket unit of the Qing army's Shenji battalion was finished, and almost a third of the people who had returned were only a third, and they should also realize the gap between their arquebuses and the horsetail rifles. Other Qing troops also withdrew, leaving the corpses of Qing soldiers in their early 2,000s on the battlefield, among which the Qing cavalry, who had previously prepared to intercept the cavalry unit on the side of the Mawei Army, was also shelled when they entered the battlefield, and almost all the three-pounder guns were turned to aim at the cavalry who rushed over. In just one round, when more than 300 cavalry fell, the Qing generals withdrew with the cavalry.

A battle ended temporarily, and the fighters of the medical team rushed over to rescue the wounded. Kuang Zhen, the commander of the 1st Brigade and 2nd Battalion, was very unlucky and was hit by an arrow by an archer of the Qing army. The power of this heavy arrow of the Qing army is not small, an arrow the thickness of a little finger is stuck in his shoulder, and it continues to tremble as he runs, and the blood of the guide zhì continues to seep out. He wanted to pull out the arrow himself, but in the end he didn't dare. In the event of major bleeding, the consequences can be small or large. But the previous battle continued, and he could not leave casually as a commander.

"Kuang Hongyan, come, I'll help you pull out the arrow first, and if you go on like this, your arm will be useless!" Fu Biao on the side saw the situation of his old subordinates, and immediately shouted loudly.

Kuang Zhen is not really red-faced, it's just that he is easy to be shy when he meets a woman, and when he is shy, his face is red, so he has such a nickname. Hearing Fu Biao's greeting, Kuang Zhen immediately walked over, and was still grinning when he walked over. It hurts!

A medical soldier from the medical team next to him also came to Fu Biao's side, first handed Fu Biao a very sharp knife, and then took out a bottle of Jinchuang medicine, ready to stop the bleeding later. Fu Biao first stabilized the shaft of the arrow with his hand, and then used the knife to cut off the shaft of the arrow. Then, Zhang Zhun hooked the arrow with a knife and slowly dragged the arrow shaft out. When all the shafts of the arrows were pulled out, the wound was immediately bloody.

The medics came up and sprinkled a large amount of gold medicine on both sides of the wound, and then bandaged the wound with white gauze. For medical soldiers, such basic bandaging skills are quite skilled, in fact, even ordinary soldiers can also bandage, but the technique is not so good. In a few moments, the wound was treated. Although the wound continued to seep blood, it was not a major problem for the time being. Originally, many doctors had their own secret recipes, Geng Jingzhong ordered to spend a lot of money to let many doctors contribute to the secret recipes, and together they jointly developed a new golden medicine, which is the kind used now, the healing effect is quite good, not inferior to the Yunnan Baiyao of later generations, and even the effect is exceeded.

Like Kuang Zhen, the wounds of the other fighters were properly treated. Their wounds were all sprinkled with a large amount of gold medicine. (To be continued......)
