The soldiers who came to the aid were the soldiers and horses of Guo Yong's son-in-law Lai Wenli, who were just the deputy thousand households of Jurong guarding the palace of thousands of households.

Because Guo Yong was named the secretary of the military department by Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu.

Lai Wenli was also named the chief military officer of Zhenjiang.

The 20,000 horses brought by Lai Wenli were naturally not regular troops, except for some of them who were guards of the Qianhu Institute, most of them were family members and tenant farmers of the Guo family.

But Lai Wenli himself is still very confident, after all, he has not encountered any decent resistance all the way from Jurong, and he is also used to being overbearing in Jurong even if he is Guo Yong's son-in-law, so he feels that the Daming Ordnance Institute is naturally the same as the Yamen of Jurong County.

Even, when Lai Wenli encountered Jiang Yun's deputy general Sha Xing and his 30,000 infantry who were defeated by the explosion, he directly relied on his father-in-law to be the secretary of the military department, reprimanded Sha Xing, and forced Sha Xing to drive to the Daming Ordnance Institute with him, and told Sha Xing that the defeat of the Daming Ordnance Station was equivalent to making the first contribution to His Royal Highness King Lu to conquer Nanjing City.

Sha Xing didn't have any opinions, and he had to rely on the support of the gentry such as the Guo family for money and food, so he had to follow to the Ming Ordnance Station again.

Lai Wenli walked in front with a cadre of guards and a family member Yaowu, but in fact, there was no neat pace, some directly used the spear as a crutch, and some rolled the spear on their shoulders by hand, even the musketeers with the bird gun were shaking the fire rope while knocking the bird gun on the shoulder.

The officers and men under Sha Xing's command were still apprehensive by the initial explosion, and followed Lai Wenli's 20,000 horses like thieves and looked around, for fear of encountering a strange glass jar, as the cavalry said.

Waiting for the two groups of people to arrive at the scene of the explosion, Sha Xing was even more busy pointing to the broken corpse that fell here and said to Lai Wenli: "This is the remains of our chief soldier and his own soldiers, there was indeed a strange explosion here, the last general really didn't lie to you, Lai Zongbing!" ”

"What are you afraid of, according to my father-in-law, these two brothers, Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen, one is a good carpenter and the other is a good alchemy, although this Daming Ordnance Institute makes guns and cannons, but there are also warlocks refining some gunpowder in it, presumably this is the strange thing they these warlocks do, Brother Sha don't have to be afraid, I asked Mr. Yin and Yang before the official came, these things are all demonic techniques, and they can be broken with black dog blood!"

As he spoke, Lai Wenli carried out the jar of black dog blood he brought, and sprinkled it all the way along the way.

It is said that in this era, except for Zhu Youzhen and the cadres of the Daming Ordnance Institute, who are relatively knowledgeable about natural science, many people are not even materialists.

Lai Wenli and Sha Xing, who were just ordinary martial artists of this era, naturally did not understand that the explosion just now was due to the explosion of nitroglycerin, and even instinctively combined this violent explosion with superstition.

Because Sun Heding said that nitroglycerin production is only made by him and his student union, and there is no way to mass produce and the risk factor is extremely high, so there is no explosion after one explosion.

Therefore, when Lai Wenli led his officers and soldiers to sprinkle the blood of black dogs all the way to the Daming Ordnance Station, he did not encounter such a violent explosion again.

Because of this, all the rebels trusted that Wen Li was right.

"These are really demonic techniques, and they are really afraid of black dog blood, and the last general actually didn't expect that if my chief soldier could think of such a method, he wouldn't die so miserably", Deputy General Sha Xing said with some sadness.

"Brother Sha don't have to be sad, your family's chief soldier is willing to respond to His Royal Highness King Lu, he is a loyal minister, as long as His Royal Highness King Lu ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, he will definitely pursue and compassionate him, and you are the same, as long as you and I take down this Ming ordnance together and make the first contribution to King Lu's entry into Nanjing City, I believe that you will also become the chief soldier and even be a marquis!"

Lai Wenli unwittingly established his prestige among the 50,000 rebels because of his explosive technique of using black dog blood to break the Ming Ordnance Institute.

Now that he is fooling with the deputy general Sha Xing like this, the deputy general Sha Xing's mind is also alive:

"What Lai Zongbing said is that the last general must swear allegiance to His Royal Highness King Lu, be loyal to Lai Zongbing, and take the Daming Ordnance Institute!"

In this way, Lai Wenli successfully gathered the hearts of 50,000 rebels and slaughtered the Ming ordnance in a mighty manner.

"General Lai Bing, this Daming Ordnance Institute is backed by mountains and water, easy to defend and difficult to attack, we still have to think of a way to fight, they still have artillery is even worse, according to the end of the general, it is better to use the method of fire attack, now it is winter The weather is dry, the wind is strong, as long as you take a few dead soldiers to run to ignite a section of the hillside where there is more dry grass, it will inevitably lead to the mountain, he Daming Ordnance Institute will inevitably be chaotic and chaotic, we will take advantage of this to kill it, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"

After all, Sha Xing has been a deputy general for many years, and naturally he has some military knowledge, so he put forward his own suggestions to Lai Wenli.

And Lai Wenli naturally didn't want Sha Xing to point out to him, waved his hand and said: "No need, this is just a craftsman who knows how to craft from time to time, what ability can he have, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to shoot guns, so I will kill them all directly!" ”

……

However, at this time, on the side of the Daming Ordnance Institute, the craftsmen of the test group of the Guards Artillery Bureau, as the officers and soldiers of the Guards Artillery Battalion, had completed the adjustment of the artillery, and in an instant, hundreds of iron bullets were accurately smashed towards the 50,000 troops.

But before the iron bullets came, the 50,000 rebels were so frightened that they ran backwards after hearing the roar of the artillery fire, and Lai Wenli saw this and shouted: "What are you panicking about, it's just a cannonball, and it can't kill a few people, and what kind of artillery can those people play." ”

Before Lai Wenli could finish speaking, dozens of people were already smashed into meat cakes by iron bullets in an instant, and thousands of people around were so frightened that they all shouted: "Dead man, dead man!" ”

The thousands of men immediately ran out, followed by all the rebels, thinking that they had been defeated, and began to run back.

Here, the officers and soldiers of the Guards Infantry Battalion, who were preparing to block the rebels, were directly confused: "This has just begun, why did these rebels run away, could it be that our reinforcements are coming?" ”

"Whatever, according to the infantry command course, what you need to do at this time is even if you rush me, Brother Xia, your battalion stays at the ordnance station, and the officers and students of the training battalion will be killed with me!"

Chen Zilong raised his flintlock pistol first, and with a loud roar, he jumped out of cover first, and chased directly after these rebels.

The three thousand officers and students of the Ming Army Military Academy did not expect their first battle to start in this way, and they jumped out of the bunker and trench with Chen Zilong, and chased the 50,000 rebels with flintlock pistols, as if they were chasing a group of pigs.
