Li Xiao didn't speak, climbed to a big tree and looked at Zhenjiang Fort in front of him. The gate opened, and the two Tartars yawned and looked around while wearing their belts.

The Tartar soldiers did not have the habit of doing morning exercises, and some Tartar soldiers yawning and stretching their waists appeared in Zhenjiang Fort one after another. There are also people who say something loudly in Manchu, which is very much like a miscellaneous courtyard in later generations.

Soon it was time for the meal, and many Tartar soldiers held bowls of rice.

Li Xiao carefully counted the number of people, and the number of people at other times may not be accurate. When it comes to eating, the number is basically accurate. Except for the four people who were at the gate sentry, almost everyone gathered in the barracks to eat. It was hot, and there was no one in armor. Li Xiao even saw several shirtless Tartar soldiers!

"How so?" Li Xiao checked it twice, but the suspicion in his heart became heavier.

Not because there are so many people here, but because there are too few Tartar soldiers in this Zhenjiang Fort. There were only more than 300 people after checking around, and it didn't seem like a trap after looking at it carefully for a long time.

The Tartar soldiers at the door were bored when they saw three shirtless young men of seventeen or eighteen years old walking down the road. After seeing the Tartar soldiers, he said something in Chinese. Then he picked up the stone from the ground and threw it at the Tartars.

On weekdays, they are used to bullying Hermes-Epitek, but now they are actually thrown stones. How could I bear this breath, the four of them didn't bring bows and arrows, and they all drew their waist knives and chased after a few Han people who didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

The Tartar soldiers in Zhenjiang Fort laughed and crowded to the gate of the village with their rice bowls to watch the excitement.

The four people chased more than 100 meters away, and seeing that they were getting closer and closer, thirty or forty people suddenly sprang out of the grass on the side of the road. The men, all with spears in their hands, stabbed the four men indiscriminately.

The four of them were surrounded by thirty or forty people, and even the gods couldn't protect them. If you can take care of the top, you can't take care of the bottom. But in the blink of an eye, the four of them were covered in blood holes. These thirty or forty people, as soon as they whistled, pulled their legs and ran into the woods in the distance.

The Tartar soldiers in Zhenjiang Fort were stunned, it had been a long time since they had been so bold Han Chinese. Many people galloped to the stables, mounted their horses, raised their sabers, and rushed out. Catch up with these damn guys and find their village. Slaughter their entire village!

Out of the gate of the village, only a little formation, more than 200 cavalry Tartar soldiers chased after them.

Ao Canghai ran back into the woods with the recruits, all of whom were killing for the first time. Many people sat on the ground and gasped for air. My legs tremble as if I were playing a lute!

Li Xiao clenched his fist forward with one hand, and his thumb was raised high. When the Tartars reached a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, they shouted: "Release! ”

There was a loud "crackling" sound, and clouds of smoke rose from the forest.

Almost as soon as the gun rang out, a dozen or so Tartar soldiers in the front row fell from their horses.

After the first row of soldiers finished firing their guns, they immediately crouched down and turned the muzzle of their guns upside down, and quickly reloaded their ammunition. The second row of soldiers behind him began to aim, and after a few breaths. Li Xiao gave another order, "Release!" ”

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ……！ Gunshots rang out like beans, and this time more than thirty Tartars fell from their horses in the front row.

Next up is the third row! This time there were more Tartar soldiers who fell, reaching more than fifty.

Fifty or sixty meters from the woods, the Tartar cavalry had already lost half of their men. But the Tartars still rushed forward with a shout, and the sound of their mouths howling was like a wolf's howl.

This kind of fierce momentum proves that these Tartar soldiers are definitely elite. Li Xiao suddenly figured out one thing, isn't more than 300 people just the number of people under the command of Niu Lu?

It seems that this is a serious team of eight hundred Eight Banner soldiers.

When the hideous faces of the Eight Banners soldiers on the opposite side could be seen clearly, the recruits took out a black thing one after another. After lighting the fire, he threw it out.

This is what Li Xiao made specifically for this operation, a grenade!

Because this time it was not possible to carry trebuchets, in order to compensate for the lack of firepower. Li Xiao asked Wang Laosan to fire many pottery bottles, which were filled with iron sand and gunpowder. When lit, it can definitely be used as a grenade.

Especially against the cavalry in front of you, who are not wearing armor, it is very useful.

The recruits were also divided into three rows, and the first row threw out. The second row is thrown five seconds apart, so that it can form a fire barrier at a distance of about thirty meters.

Although it only lasts for about ten seconds, it can already inflict heavy damage on the Tartars.

Sure enough, the inaudible explosion continued for about ten seconds. The musketeers couldn't see the target clearly, but they fired a volley of guns into the smoke.

Ao Canghai looked nervously at the smoke with his machete, and the musketeers in the second row were waiting for him. Whenever they see a figure, they shoot.

See that the third row of musketeers has been reloaded and is ready to fire. Ao Canghai decisively gave the launch order!

Three rounds of guns were fired into the smoke in a row, but not a single Tartar soldier came out of the smoke.

Soon the smoke cleared, and a mass of corpses appeared in front of me.

The corpses were covered with wounds, all of which were iron nails and iron sand and the like. Some of the corpses were beaten like hornet's nests by flying iron sand, and some were clearly gunshot wounds.

A few people lay on the ground, moaning and howling loudly. The vast majority of people were hit by scattered shrapnel. Now, even if they are not dead, they are almost dead.

Seeing that no one was standing, Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

The Tartar soldiers who did not come out of Zhenjiang Fort closed the gate tightly. I am afraid that these Ming troops will take advantage of the situation to attack.

Li Xiaocai will not be stupid enough to attack the fortifications, so many grain stacks are outside the city. Lao Tzu is here to grab food this time, but it's not impossible to put some fire on it.

The place where the horse material was stacked was very open, and smoke rose to the sky.

Although war horses are also horses, war horses eat horse feed instead of grass. The Jurchens attached great importance to horses, and the nobles rode war horses. A lot of them are fed rice, and they eat better than Hermes-Epitek.

Only the war horses fed ** feed will have sufficient physical strength. When fighting, you can have better physical fitness to carry the master to fight.

The musketeers kept shooting at the wall, intimidating! The recruits from Shandong quickly picked up the grain and ran to the river. Now Li Xiao regrets a little bit that he didn't bring a wheelbarrow. That would bring more food away!

The Tartar soldiers in Zhenjiang Fort were suppressed by muskets. As soon as you show your head, you will be hit by a flood of bullets. Helpless, they could only watch the soldiers of the Ming army carry away the food like ants moving.

Li Xiao didn't know that his mistake had changed history.
