Chapter 401: Boom Them!

Even in the face of Zheng's 30,000 elites, Ma Xianglin is still confident that he will be invincible.

His white-pole soldiers have long been famous all over the world, and now they are equipped with the armor given by His Majesty.

Therefore, at this time, not to mention that there are 30,000 people outside, even if there are 50,000, he is confident to hold this level.

Things have come to such a point that their mission has changed.

From the main force of chasing and suppressing the rebels, it has become an auxiliary force to contain the enemy.

And at this time, the main forces were on their way.

The two sides are locked in a state of confrontation.

Zheng Kai was restlessly observing the movements of the Ming army, and it would not be long before people would see if they had withdrawn.

On the Ming Army's side, everyone is what to do, and they can't see how nervous they are at all. As for the retreat, it is even more impossible.

In this way, a peaceful night was passed, and no one chose to raid at night.

Early the next morning.

Mu Tianbo and the others, who were eating, heard the shouts from the opposite side again:

"We, General Zheng Kai, said that you are limited to withdraw to Daming within half an hour! Otherwise, don't blame us for being polite!"

Mu Tianbo, who was drinking mushroom soup, shook his head disdainfully.

"Hit it, hit it, what so much nonsense."

But he still took a few sips and put down the bowl in his hand.

I have to say that this has been ignored again and again, and Zheng Kai's patience has reached the limit.

Seeing that the deadline he had set had arrived, Zheng Kai was completely angry.

"Damn! Ming! It's like dead, you won't even reply! Zheng Xi, you lead 5,000 men to attack!"

"Yes, General!"

The general named Zheng Xi was his relative, and he was also a good hand in battle.

At this time, when he heard that he was going to take the lead, he immediately ran away excitedly and went to gather the generals.

In a short time, 5,000 soldiers were ready to go.

The structure of the 5,000 men was very complex, including shield men, musketeers, archers, and infantry.

The shield men were in front, the infantry were behind, and the musketeers and archers were not numerous and interspersed with the infantry to the left and right.

This is a formation carefully arranged by Zheng Xi, which ensures defense without sacrificing attack power as much as possible.

As a leading force, the most important thing is stability.

Play it safe.

The troops, who had been pinned on by Zheng Xi, set off in a fairly neat queue.

Then, we entered a minefield.

Boom, boom, boom~

A barrage of mines exploded at the feet of the ranks of soldiers.

The soldiers, who had just been in high spirits, were immediately bombed and staggered, and there were many wails.

The most unfortunate were the soldiers in the front row, who were closest to the mines and took the deepest damage.

In particular, the soldiers who stepped directly on the mines were basically blown up everywhere.

Seeing this, Zheng Xi was dumbfounded and hurriedly ordered to stop advancing.

In fact, no one dared to go forward without his order, not even the wounded who had fallen and died from the landmines in front of them. Thousands of soldiers just stood still, motionless, afraid that in the next second they would step on something that would explode.

Zheng Kai was also paying attention to the movement in front of him, and he was startled when he heard the explosion, thinking that the other party had used the kind of secret weapon that Li Ba said could be thrown.

But when he looked out, he saw that there was no movement at all on the other side of the level, so he hurriedly ran forward and came to take a closer look.

Oh my god, what's that? With such a wide range of kills?

"What just happened?"

Zheng Kai asked Zheng Xi.

"General! I don't know, I just formed up and let them move forward, who knows how far they went, there was an explosion, and the soldiers in the three or four rows in front didn't react at all, and they were all blown up."

He looked at the soldiers on the ground and was a little frightened. Hurry up and order someone to find Li Ba.

"Li Ba! What's going on!? Doesn't it mean that their firearms can only explode if they are thrown out? Why do you explode when you step on it now!?"

"General, I don't know. I've never seen anything like this!" Li Ba was also at a loss.

When I first beat myself, the other party never used this kind of firearm!

What is it?

Hey?

He remembered.

"General, when I negotiated with the Duke of Qianguo yesterday, they didn't let me run around casually, saying that I would die. Let me follow him and not go wrong. I think this kind of thing was buried in advance!"

"Do you remember the road you traveled yesterday?" Zheng Kai said eagerly.

"I can take a look!"

After that, Li Ba came to the edge of the minefield, looked at the dirt pit that had exploded on the ground, and quietly did not step on the place. Scratching his head, he came back again.

"General, I don't recognize. But even if you recognize it, it's useless, what is the use of a small road for our army to march."

When Zheng Kai heard it, he was too.

But what now?

He had just looked at the wounded, and there were not many who had actually died, only about a hundred. But there are a lot of injuries, all of them were hit by the fragments of the mines, although they can't die in a short time without hurting the vital point, but if the wounds are not cleaned up in time, I'm afraid there will be *** annoyance in the future. If nothing else, someone has to take care of the wounded, right!?

Zheng Kai clenched his fists, feeling that there was nowhere to get out of his stomach.

"Retreat a mile! Pull the artillery up! Boom them!"

He was furious.

Decided not to play any more vainly, and directly pulled out the ten artillery pieces he brought.

This artillery was bought from the Dutch and was powerful and long-range. It's just that it's bulky and inconvenient to carry, and they only bring ten doors at random.

Zheng Xi listened to his order and returned to the incoming army with the wounded and dead.

Then ten cannons lined up and aimed directly at the wall.

The Ming army, who was observing the movement here, discovered their intentions.

Mu Tianbo decisively ordered the soldiers to evacuate from the wall, and scattered and hid.

Rumble! Rumble!

Ten cannons roared loudly, and the projectiles shot out with a whistling and smashed into the wall.

The wall, which was not very strong, trembled for a while, and it was directly smashed out of a hole.

But it was only one, and then several more shells either hit the wall or went straight over the wall and into the rear.

This time, the shells caused real casualties to the soldiers under Mu Tianbo's command.

Often a tumbling projectile is capable of taking the lives of at least three or four people.

With a round of artillery bombardment, the soldiers under Mu Tianbo's command were stoned to death twenty or thirty people.

Zheng Kai saw that the artillery was so powerful, and he was also excited. Again sent people to the front to shout, trying to make the Ming army retreat.

"Our general said, I hope you don't get obsessed anymore, otherwise there will be more fierce shelling! If you retreat, send someone to shout. If we continue to be silent, our shelling will not stop!"

Now he was stiff again.

The thing you threw with your hand is only a few dozen steps, and my artillery will hit at least three or four miles, and it will kill you!

However, he still did not wait for the response of the Ming army.

Seeing that the other party ignored him, Zheng Kai decided not to keep his hand anymore, and continued to let the soldiers bombard the wall, and there was a posture of not stopping if he did not collapse the wall.
