Sang Wenlai didn't know what Zhou Qingfeng thought, he only knew that he went to the battlefield in a daze. When he was forcibly conscripted into the army, he clearly said that he would be a carpenter, digging ditches, and doing some odd work, which was called a 'sapper'. As a result, a few days ago, Sister Xu brought several boxes of 'arson bombs', 'grenades' and 'explosive packs', so Sang Wenlai became a 'combat engineer'.

The people of the Sang family are honest, and Sang Youshen, as a father, only dares to say a few words about Zhou Qingfeng behind his back, and he still has to be honest in person. Sang Wenlai is an ordinary farmer, who learned the carpenter's trade from his father, and is considered to be 'loyal and reliable', so he became the squad leader of the sapper, and is now the squad leader of the 'combat sapper'.

With the word 'battle' added to the title, you can't stay back and watch the spearmen fight. Sang Wenlai not only couldn't watch the play at the back, but even had to wear armor and rush to the front. God, this is the work of soldiers.

When assigning tasks during the day, Zhou Qingfeng had different requirements for the two infantry platoons. The breakthrough point of the tall cattle platoon is the wall of the Gule Cottage, which is smashed from a direction that the enemy does not expect. The second platoon of the Wumen Gate attacked the main gate to attract the enemy's ideas, and if it could break through, it would break through, and if it could not break through, it would be a feint.

Zhou Qingfeng took two rows, and Xu Bing took one row. And before the first row, it was Sang Wenlai who felt that he was unlucky to come home and the twenty 'combat engineers' under him. Each sapper originally carried an axe and a shovel, and after the 'battle' each carried four 'arson grenades', which were stuffed in the pockets of their tactical vests, in addition to a three-kilogram bag of explosives.

The battle of Gule Mountain began in the sound of the enemy's secret sentinels, and compared to the two spear infantry formations dismounted and advanced with 'divine practice', the 'combat engineers' and the female soldier archers in charge of covering crossed the Suzi River on horseback, which was about 100 meters wide, and quickly crossed a distance of four or five hundred meters on the flat ground of the river beach, and arrived under the walled wall in only about a minute and dismounted again.

At this moment, the second platoon of frontal attacks had only advanced to half the distance, but they were fighting with open fire and shouting loudly, which became the focus of the enemy's attention in the dark night. At this moment, the distance between the two attack arrows was more than 100 meters, and Zhou Qingfeng's military formation could not communicate with each other, and the leader of the 'combat engineers' was Xu Bing, who had just entered the battlefield.

By the light of the torches in the direction of the village, Xu Bing galloped quickly. She was overjoyed when she arrived at the bottom of the wall with the 'combat engineers', and there were not many Jurchen sentinels on the wall. In the dark night, it was discovered that there were enemies outside the wall, and the sentry on the wall jumped over the wall and fled. With such a great opportunity, Xu Bing immediately dismounted and shouted: "First group, come to me." ”

The first group is led by Sang Wenlai, the squad leader, with five members. After hearing the order, they immediately stepped forward and stood beside Xu Bing. Xu Bing ordered: "Dig a hole under the wall, and put the explosive bag into the hole after digging, and each hole is three meters apart." ”

In addition to receiving long-distance night attack training in the past two days, Sang Wenlai has been training for explosives intensively, and the instructor is the only Xu Bing in the team who has this knowledge. The three-kilogram bag of explosives was black powder tightly bound with linen. These black powders came from the arsenal of the Ming army, and the ratio of these gunpowders was incorrect, and there were many impurities, and the number was thousands of catties.

Due to the tight time, Xu Bing did not have time to wet granulate these black powders. She had to arrange for someone to clean up the debris by hand, and when she was sure it was still usable, she put it in a clay pot to use as a grenade, or a linen wrap to use it as an explosive bag.

The people in the stockade were all attracted by the second platoon that bravely attacked, and even if someone found something on the wall, they didn't dare to probe rashly. The women's platoon that followed up also rode up and stood about twenty meters away and suppressed it with a strong bow.

Sang Wenlai's explosives bags were arranged easily, and the five explosives bags led to a one-meter-long fuse. Even when he lit the fuse, his hands kept shaking, and the fire fold couldn't make it up. Xu Bing looked anxious and came up to light the fire in person. As a result, she also clicked for a long time before she clicked, and her hands were also shaking.

The fuse is also made of rolled flax, with saltpeter and toner in it, and it burns quite quickly. After ordering, Xu Bing greeted him, and everyone ran back quickly. Even the female soldiers, who were in charge of suppression, were quickly evacuated.

Everyone ran thirty meters away and lay on the ground waiting. When Xu Bing was lying on his stomach, he kept praying in his heart, "It must be fried, it must be fried, even if it is one." ”

After the fuse was made, there was only a 70% probability that it would burn out. When you are unlucky, you can burn several in a row. Xu Bing lay on the ground with his hands covering his head and ears, and Sang Wenlai also lay on the ground. Because the explosive package had only been tested at a small equivalent, he was stupid and bold not to know the power of black powder, looking at Xu Bing, who was chattering, and then looking at ......

Boom, ......, there was a thunderclap in the night, and the earth shook.

Five three-kilogram packets of black powder explosives were all detonated.

Sang Wenlai still raised his head. As soon as the explosion came, he felt his body thrown up by the ground, and his head buzzed and he fainted.

Encountering a night attack, the stockade of Gule Mountain was already in horror. The Jurchen soldiers who came out of the house were hurriedly putting on their armor, and they couldn't figure out the situation. By the time the explosives bag burst open the wall, everyone was panicked by the loud noise and vibration.

The people in the stockade seemed to be drunk, and they couldn't stand steadily, and they stumbled as if they had lost their souls. Many of the overseers were whipping the scurrying slaves, waiting for them to explode, and their hearts were terrified, and they became scurry.

The second row, which was originally shouting and shouting and killing, attracted all the attention of the stockade. As soon as the explosion sounded, not to mention that no one in the village paid attention to them, even they themselves were shocked.

Wumen, who has always been chattering on weekdays, was also shocked by the thunder in the dark night, and he couldn't shout when he opened his mouth. Only Zhou Qingfeng rode the giant wolf and shouted, "What are you doing in a daze? Great opportunity, rush with me! ”

Let's not mention anything else, back to the 'Combat Engineer' squad.

Sang Wenlai never expected that the explosive bag he was carrying would be so powerful. You must know that when Xu Bing sent this thing, he also deliberately said, 'This black powder belongs to low-energy explosives with slow detonation', which means that this thing is not powerful. And now when Sang Wenlai is woken up by his subordinates splashing water, his first thought is - this thing is too scary!

Sang Wenlai was frightened, and there was nothing that the 'combat engineers' were not frightened. Don't be scared, Sang Wen is not the only one, and there are not a few who are scared to pee their pants. Even the female platoon at the back, and even the tall bull gang who were running quickly to catch up with the breakthrough, were all screaming in fright or stopped moving.

The only one who is mentally prepared is Xu Bing. Not long after the explosion, before the debris of the wall that had been blown up and flying all over the sky had fallen, she jumped up excitedly and shouted: "We have succeeded, hurry up, hurry up." Combat sappers, the battle has just begun, make good use of the explosives bags in your hands and make the enemy fearful. ”

The enemy is terrified, but the combat engineers themselves are terrified. When they learned that the explosion that seemed to be God's wrath had been inflicted on the enemy, the sappers were still stunned.

At this time, a platoon of tall cattle also saw the gap in the wall that had been blasted open, and they screamed and pounced through the gap that had been blown up. The second row of the Wumen Gate also rushed into the main gate of the stockade like a water dog. Chai Jie's platoon of female soldiers climbed the wall of the village, constantly suppressing the enemies in the village who tried to regroup.

Xu Bing shouted for a long time, and finally shouted angrily: "Get up, what kind of man is he?" You bombed someone else, and someone else blew you up? Now follow me, the combat sappers are going to gnaw hard bones, and whoever dares to stop you will blow them up into the sky with explosives packs. ”

The blasted wall is more than 20 meters wide, and the ground is soft and soft, with a layer of floating soil. Sang Wenlai reorganized his sappers and killed them with the tall oxen - the stockade of Gule Mountain occupies a large area, and the Jurchens guarding it immediately shrink after discovering that the wall has been breached, relying on the buildings in the village to act as fortifications to resist.

For the Jurchen barbarians who relied on the house and fought through the doors and windows, the infantry formation with spears in hand was a little unwieldy. At this time, according to the battle plan, the tall bull will shout out for combat engineers.

"Go up and blow up those bastards." Xu Bing personally led two engineering teams to conduct a combat demonstration. Instead of straight knives and guns, she had the sappers use fire breakers to ignite the 'arson grenades' they carried. The black powder filled in these clay pots weighs about half a catty, and although it is inconvenient to throw, it can still be thrown seven or eight meters from an oblique angle.

The 'arson grenade' that exploded was less powerful and was more of a sound than an explosion. But the clay pot that keeps bursting without killing people is quite scary, especially if it can be thrown into doors and windows - as long as such a thing explodes in the house, it will immediately make people feel frightened. No matter how stubborn the enemy is, he will flee for his life, even if he hits a spear.

Just watched Xu Bing throw it a few times, and the entire combat engineer squad immediately liked this weapon - sneaking close to the enemy's house, unscrewing the lid and lighting the fuse with a fire fold, and throwing it at the door and window with a flick.

Some of the sappers were so bold that they did not run away after throwing away the 'arson grenade', but squatted under the enemy's doors and windows with their ears covered. After waiting for the inside to explode, they took the axes they carried with them to attack the Jurchen soldiers who fled in panic.

There were more than a dozen explosions, and the entrenched houses were constantly breached, and several places were set on fire. There are a lot of flammable materials in the wooden house, and when it catches fire, it burns and burns uncontrollably. As soon as Xu Bing saw the flames rising outward, he immediately ordered the attacking troops to retreat collectively, and never fall into the sea of fire, otherwise there would be no way to rescue them.

The night sky was lit up by a roaring fire, and the battle had to be suspended for a moment. Although the Jurchens were running around like headless flies, the fierce flames became an obstacle, forcing the guards to retreat.

Zhou Qingfeng was organizing the troops to withdraw from the stockade through the military array link, Xu Bing found him in the firelight and asked, "Where is the enemy's granary?" Was it burned? ”

"Nope." Zhou Qingfeng shook his head and said: "When those granaries were built, fire prevention was considered, and the Jurchens built them in the innermost part of the stockade, and we are now blocked by the wall of fire. ”

"Then take a detour and blow it up."

"That's exactly what I mean."

"Sang Wenlai."

"Here."

At this moment, Sang Wenlai was in good spirits, although his face was covered with black smoke and dust, he was refreshed and smiling. He carried a bloody axe in his hand, and he was full of momentum and showed his bravery. The First World War was not yet over, and the little carpenter had become a real warrior.

Zhou Qingfeng pointed to the wall on the other side of the village, and Sang Wenlai immediately shouted: "Don't worry, my lord, our combat engineers will blow it up immediately." If it doesn't blow up once, we'll blow it up twice until it opens. Hahaha...... it's so cool to do this job. I'm a combat sapper, mighty! ”
