Chapter 355: Rush into Battle! A chance to win!

In just the first round, dozens of offensive grenades had already blown up the archers and crossbowmen in the rear of the Lu Long Army's battle formation, but this was actually just the beginning.

When the archers, who acted as grenadiers, threw the first round of grenades, the hussars around them had already begun to help them remove the other grenades and hand them over, along with torches.

After taking the grenade handed over by the cavalry, lit it on the torch, he quickly threw it forward, then took it and threw it again, and the whole process was done in one go.

For these archers, throwing a grenade is much easier than shooting an arrow, after all, the power required to shoot an arrow with a bow is incomparable to throwing a grenade.

The action of opening the bow seems simple, but to continuously pull the above strong bow is extremely consuming arm strength.

Even the best archer, after firing the bow ten to twelve times in a row, his arm is basically in a half-useless state, and he is too sore to lift it.

However, throwing grenades is different, these perennial exercises, arms comparable to ordinary waist thick men, if the grenade tube is enough, these guys can do it in one breath for half an hour without stopping, which can definitely ensure that the other party enjoys.

At this moment, with the assistance of the light cavalry beside them, these archers who acted as grenadiers turned into humanoid bombardiers one by one.

In less than ten breaths, seven or eight offensive grenades had been thrown, and the effect was that there was no foot soldier standing within a hundred paces of Lu Long's army.

Hearing the terrible screams and wails from the rear, even if you don't need to look back, you know that your back has become a human purgatory, and at this time, the heavy infantry of the Lu Long Army, who was still enjoying gua sha before, woke up like a dream.

It's just that at this time, it's too late to help the archers and crossbowmen behind them, of course, in the current situation, even if they really let them rescue them, they are powerless, after all, thousands of cavalry of the Changying Army are still more than twenty steps away in front of their eyes.

The only way for the foot soldiers to face the cavalry was to form a formation, and if the formation was loose was equal to no formation, if they turned around and scattered the battle formation, then a large-scale slaughter awaited them.

The distance of more than twenty steps is not long or short, and it is not enough for them to quickly rush in front of the opponent to engage in hand-to-hand combat, nor is it enough to leave enough space for retreat.

On the contrary, the distance of twenty paces was not enough for them to achieve freedom of movement, but it was enough for the cavalry of the opposing army to make a simple run.

There is a strong enemy in front and remnants in the rear, and they can't advance or retreat, and both the situation and the position are extremely embarrassing.

If there is any good news, it can only be said that although the weapon of the other party's Changying Army has caused heavy losses to the lightly armored foot soldiers behind, it is obviously very ineffective against their iron-canned existence.

However, considering the tragic situation behind them, these heavy infantry in front chose to gather the battle formation more closely under the command of their respective generals.

But that's where their good fortune ends.

The archers, assisted by the cavalry, frantically threw offensive grenades in front of them, while Dong Jia and Xiao Junpeng, who were at the front, were evaluating the effect of the killing.

After visually inspecting that the archers and crossbowmen on the front had been cleared, Xiao Junpeng ordered a change in the type of bomb dropped.

Immediately, the archers took over from the light cavalry, from a little cutie weighing a pound to a big guy weighing more than three pounds.

Rao is these guys with big shoulders and round waists and can run horses on their shoulders, and it is difficult to throw these things out fifty or sixty steps, but fortunately, the goal of this thing has also changed, and it is not too difficult to throw this thing out of twenty or thirty steps.

After a short pause, defensive grenades the size of melons were thrown in parabola shapes one by one as the order was given and the ammunition was replaced.

This time, even the heavy infantry of the other side found a difference from before, after all, this thing is a lot bigger.

The most simple logical thinking, the bigger the size, the more powerful, and more importantly, they found that this time these black and smoking guys no longer flew back, but towards their side.

The black jars of the other party are getting bigger and bigger in their eyes, thinking about the miserable situation of those archers and crossbowmen in the rear, the hearts of these guys are also beginning to waver!

It's just that the battle has reached this level, and even if you want to retreat, there is no possibility of retreating.

In the midst of the panicked waiting, it was the black jar that was thrown on top of their heads, in front of them, under their feet, and even on the tip of their noses, accompanied by one deafening explosion after another, and these black guys turned into orange sparks one after another.

Unlike the previous gua sha with the same damage, this time it weighed 3~4 times that of the previous defensive grenade, and the impact and lethality brought far exceeded their expectations.

Although the impact grenade, which is mainly used in the explosive part, directly destroys the heavy armor, the huge impact force is not something that a normal person can withstand.

Although these black powders themselves, the huge impact force can directly blow up strong men weighing two or three hundred catties with armor.

If you are a little lucky, you will be directly shocked to death, even if you are hard enough, if you are lucky enough, and you are not directly shocked to death, you will be shocked by the seven orifices bleeding coma or vertigo, at least in a short period of time, it is completely ineffective.

Compared to the previous archers and crossbowmen, in order to defend against the attack of the cavalry of the Long Silk Army, the heavy infantry in the front row of the Lu Long Army fought more closely, which also led to the further improvement of the effectiveness of these defensive grenades.

Three rounds of grenades went down, and the heavy infantry of the Lu Long Army in front of Dong Jia had been blown up to the point of crying wolf, and the battle formation that was still strict a moment ago was gone.

Even if they weren't directly hit by the grenade, after hearing the explosions and screams, seeing the flames and the tragic state of their own robes, the remaining Lu Long soldiers were already terrified.

With that, the entire battle formation of Lu Long's army began to appear chaotic and retreating, compared to being taken away by a wave before, Wei Bo and Cheng De's army, which is now being hunted down, is not much stronger.

The reason why they have not completely collapsed is simply because there is no external force, and this external force is nothing more than a simple layer of window paper!

Looking at Lu Longjun, who was blown up in front of him and howled wolf, Dong Jia, who was a little dazed, muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.

"This thing is too rebellious, with this thing to open the way, how can anything ......"

Just when Dong Jia was looking ahead in a daze, the voice of Xiao Junpeng, who was the commander of the grenadiers, came from behind him.

"Dong Lang, all the grenades he carried have been thrown, and the follow-up grenades have also been sent, so you can consider continuing the attack."

Hearing Xiao Junpeng's voice, Dong Jia suddenly came back to his senses, first looked ahead, the Lu Long Army on the front had been completely emptied, and the chaos and rout of the Lu Long Army on both wings was intensifying.

Immediately, Dong Jia looked behind him and made sure that the reinforcements had arrived and he could get a steady stream of fire support, Dong Jia raised his horse lance without hesitation and shouted.

"Follow me!"

As the words fell, Dong Jia rushed out first, and the cavalry, who had taken a short break from the grenadier bombardment, quickly followed Dong Jia's footsteps.

Behind them, light cavalry armed with grenades, archers acting as grenadiers, heavy infantry on horseback, and heavy cavalry following quickly followed.

With a distance of more than twenty paces, Dong Jia's war horse had already rushed into the battle formation of the foot soldiers of the Lu Long Army, but the foot soldiers who once stood in front of him had now been reduced to wounded soldiers moaning on the ground, corpses all over the ground.

Without any hesitation, Dong Jiace rode forward, the hooves the size of a bowl, trampling on the corpses and stumps and severed arms all the way forward.

Just a few dozen breaths later, without any hindrance, the cavalry regiment of the Changying Army once again penetrated the infantry battle formation of the Lu Long Army, which had already collapsed.

In the process of the cavalry led by Dong Jia charging all the way, the soldiers and auxiliaries who did not attack in the camp of Zhuzhai Changying's army were not idle.

Crossbowmen who are not at all suitable for melee hand-to-hand combat guard the camp gate with heavy crossbows or horizontal knives, and at the same time gather the obedient and settled civilians who have calmed down and enter the camp.

As for those who do not obey the arrangement, or whose emotions have not stabilized, the heavy crossbows and horizontal knives in the hands of the crossbowmen are naturally not decorations, after all, there is no harm without comparison!

After combing and guiding them into the camp, these exhausted civilians who have been coerced all the way will be taken over by the medical class and the cooking class, of course, it is Wu Shaoxiong who is responsible for managing them, after all, Wu Shaoxiong is the existence that can give full play to their value, and Guo Rong has no reason to refuse Wu Shaoxiong's initiative to ask for help.

As for the question of whether anyone will dare to do anything wrong after entering the camp, theoretically the members of the medical class and the cooking class are auxiliary soldiers, but ......

Most of the military doctors of the Changying Army are from the Daomen, and these people mainly treat and save people before joining the army, supplemented by Tianxingdao, and killing people is completely a convenient act.

As for the cooking class, at first glance it was just a group of harmless cooks, but those who were familiar with the Changying Army knew that at a certain time, the cooking class was the place with the most people in the army.

After all, not everyone can easily wear three layers of heavy armor, holding all kinds of heavy soldiers to kill the enemy, in the eyes of this gang of Mengren, it is not more difficult to cut the head than to cut the melon, and it is not more difficult to kill than to kill the chicken.

With the increase in the number of veterans in the Changying Army, many veterans who were unwilling to leave the Changying Army gradually took the initiative to enter the cooking class, which made the style of the current cooking class develop infinitely in an unpredictable direction.

These guys who look like a group of amiable people are the most ruthless, slippery, and sassy existence in the entire Changying Army and even the entire Forbidden Army, and they are the kind that have no opponents at all.

Those who want to be demons in the hands of these two groups of people definitely belong to the old birthday star who eats arsenic.

As for the equipment battalion, with the help of the logistics battalion, the eight-bull crossbow and catapult in the center of the camp that were originally in a state of readiness were slowly moved to the position around the camp.

Guo Rong's request to them is to choose their own position, adjust their own angle, choose their own direction, and choose their own target.

Outside the camp, as long as it is not in the direction of the assault where the heavy infantry and cavalry are located, it is the enemy, and for them, this kind of shooting system that does not need to be considered at all does not take into account accidental damage and accuracy is not too simple.

Compared with others, the gunpowder experts of the firearms battalion are relatively busy, and they are now loading grenades with gunpowder and fragments in order to supply the battlefield in front of them in case of emergency.

As for the rest, the only ones left were the sappers who had dug a pit for the night last night in the second line of defense.

According to the normal plan, after a whole night's work, they should have a good night's sleep during the fierce battle during the day today, but the unexpected arrangement of the old fox Tan Zhong obviously disrupted their arrangement.

In the face of Guo Rong's changed plan, the sappers did not regret that the project they had stayed up late the night before was not planned to be used, nor were they dissatisfied with the need for continuous work because the rest was canceled, on the contrary, they were extremely excited about Guo Rong's final arrangement.

The Changying Army, a large battalion in Zhuzhai Village, has not only reached the pinnacle in defense, but also has been extremely sophisticated in terms of overall layout.

After arriving in Zhuzhai and before building the camp, the civil engineering elders, including He Mang, judged the topography and landform, speculated on the water flow and landform, and before building the camp, they dug a big hole behind the embankment on the south side of Baigou in advance, and reserved a part of the mechanism, and then began the construction of the camp itself.

Digging out the trench and using the soil of the trench to raise the inner side to strengthen the defense at the same time, it is equivalent to setting up a flood control levee for the entire battalion.

If the war does not go well, Guo Rong will order the sappers to dig the embankment on the south side of Baigou, and let the water of Baigou flood the Hebei army besieging him, reversing the situation and turning defeat into victory.

In the face of Tan Zhong's tricks, although Guo Rong had the confidence to win with the help of new weapons such as grenades and black powder, he still had to make preparations, so he was awakened, and these civil engineering experts did not hesitate to pick up the sapper shovel and cross pickaxe, and rushed directly to the northernmost part of the entire camp, the side of Baigou.

They will succeed in the last insurance of the whole army.

After arranging the others, as for Guo Rong himself, he took his two personal soldiers and climbed to the highest watchtower in the center of the camp again, watching the battle below while commanding remotely.

Standing on top of the watchtower, which is more than three feet high, the situation of the entire main battlefield in the south is clear at a glance.

In the center of the battlefield, the extremely high-risk plan was successfully implemented in the hands of the officers and soldiers of the Changying Army, and among the tens of thousands of Hebei rebels, such a corridor was forcibly opened up.

Near the corridor opened up by the Changying Army, the Chengde, Wei Bo, and Lu Long armies fell into chaos and collapsed, but the number of opponents was too amazing after all, and the actual width of the battle array of 10,000 people was more than two miles.

As the distance from the corridor opened by the Changying Army became, the degree of confusion and dispersion of several Hebei rebel armies began to decrease, approaching the edges of the east and west flanks of the other side, and there were even military schools suppressing the chaos and preparing to support the center.

Although Dong Jia's department is advancing all the way, it is still dangerous from the overall situation, and there is still only one way to survive in Huashan.

Following the direction of Dong Jia's advance, Guo Rong's eyes went to the location of Tan Zhong's handsome flag, the only seven inches of the Hebei rebels.

The battle has been fought so far, in fact, it has already been exhausted, Tan Zhong's speculation is actually good, Guo Rong's idea is very simple, break the cauldron and sink the boat, capture the thief and capture the king!

The heavy infantry opened the way, the heavy cavalry attacked vigorously, the grenadiers suddenly used cold arrows, and everything the Changying Army did was for a little bit, opening up a road to victory for Dong Jia's department!

At this moment, in Guo Rong's eyes, Dong Jia and the heavy cavalry under his command were like a battle blade, slamming straight towards the other party's heart!

It is true that Tan Zhong is an old fox, but Tan Zhong cannot change the role of Shuai Qi on the battlefield in this era.

No matter what the commander thinks, but when ordinary soldiers see the commander retreat, there is only one result, that is, rout!

At this moment, on the battlefield, only the last elite Lu Long Army of 10,000 people was left in front of Dong Jia, as long as the last layer of protection in front of Tan Zhong was drilled......
