By this time, the car had advanced to within fifty meters.

The archers with strong arms in the thief army were already beginning to throw arrows at the city. However, shoot low and shoot high, and the effect is very poor. Most of the arrows were blocked by the city walls, and they couldn't fly up at all.

Occasionally, one or two flew up, and it wasn't a big problem, and the royal guards came in handy. Although their combat effectiveness is low, their equipment is good, and standing on the edge of the city wall is a natural meat shield, and the weak arrows on them are not even qualified to tickle.

However, this can only tickle the arrow, but it frightened the royal palace guards into a blank face and trembled on the city wall.

Zhu Changxun was even more stunned.

If the Liukou breaks through the city, anyone can escape, but only he Zhu Changxun can't. The farthest he could run was at Ying'en Temple outside the city. No matter how far it goes, the emperor will need to personally grant his permission.

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but shake his head secretly when he saw Zhu Changxun's uncompetitive appearance, he really didn't want to save this kind of person who had fat intestines in his head. However, when he looked back, the people in Luoyang City were also trembling......

The militia villagers organized by Fan Shangxian are now holding big rocks and holding pots of boiling water, hiding behind the uneven and concave female wall, shivering.

They're afraid, too!

There were still tens of thousands of people in the city, who also hid in their houses and prayed for the rogues to retreat quickly.

Li Daoxuan shouted: "Grenade! ”

"Grenade!" One of the captains of the formation repeated it aloud.

The musketeers, who had not fired all this time, took out the black balls, lit the arquebus, and threw them out.

Gaojiacun used to have a special grenadier battalion, led by Gao Chuwu and Zheng Daniu, but with the successful development of the Xia Saibo rifle, the range of the grenadiers was very embarrassing, and it was no longer a special battalion.

Gaojia Village has equipped almost every soldier with arquebus grenades, and all the people in the original grenadier battalion have been issued with new rifles.

So......

A "grenade" command roared, and hundreds of confident militia soldiers took the lead and threw the arquebus grenade at the rogue array.

The grenade flew out of a beautiful parabola, flipped over the thick cart, and landed in the rogue formation behind.

Zhu Changxun: "What are you doing?" Throwing stones? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, "boom, boom", an explosion sounded.

Bursts of green smoke rose and hundreds of grenades exploded together.

Zhu Changxun: "Ahhhh Protect the King! ”

His guards looked outside the city and were overjoyed: "Lord Wang, the rogues have been bombed badly." ”

Zhu Changxun plucked up his courage and looked out, only to see that the sound of the roaring roar just now turned out to be the little black balls thrown out by the white kite, and after they turned over the cart, they exploded among the thieves behind the cart.

The thieves were bombed so that they cried and cried for their mothers, which can be described as miserable.

From the gap in the cart, it can be seen that a large number of thieves have fallen to the ground, and the thieves who are responsible for pushing the cart have also fallen, and several carts have all stopped advancing.

As soon as the cart stopped, the advance of the thief army immediately stalled.

Zhu Changxun: "Wow! Wow? What was the trick so powerful just now? ”

Guard: "That little black ball should be a ball of gunpowder." ”

Zhu Changxun: "Oh, it turns out that gunpowder can still be played like this?" ”

At this moment, the thief army outside the city was also angry, and the general of the Liukou, Menghu, beat the war drum and shouted: "Damn, it's only a dozen zhang away, don't worry about the car." Rush to Lao Tzu, rush forward, and kill the Fu King Zhu ...... What's going on? ”

Duhu: "Brother, it's Zhu Changxun." ”

Tiger: "Yes, yes, yes, kill Zhu Changxun, his money is ours." ”

As soon as he gave this order, the bandits in the front row didn't want to rush.

The round of grenades just now had blown their morale to freezing point, and looking at the corpses of their comrades who were killed by the grenades, many rogues had a sense of retreat in their hearts.

The tiger's order came to the front, and no one moved at all.

But then the Tigers' reserves moved!

The advantages of the large number of rogues began to manifest, and another new force rushed up from behind.

These men pushed the cart to the side, no more, raised their shields, and began the second wave of charge, while others took the cart and continued to carry the mud and stones, rushing towards the moat.

It only takes a few hundred truckloads of mud and stone to be poured into the moat in the same place, and a road can be filled in in minutes.

Behind the cart, a large group of rogues carrying wooden planks appeared.

If the mud and rocks are poured into the river and not filled, they can build some more planks to cross the river.

This set of tactics was used by them when attacking Zezhou, Liaozhou, Huaiqing Mansion and other cities, and the effect was not bad.

But......

And it didn't work!

Because, as soon as the car is thrown away, the firecrackers can fire normally.

"Woohoo!"

Dense gunfire rang out......

The shields held up by the rogues were of little use, most of them were wooden shields, which could not stop the bullets fired from the rear-loading guns.

The shield was easily pierced, knocking the rogues to the ground.

The bandits pushing the wheelbarrows, with their heads buried behind the wheelbarrows, hunched forward, ran close enough to the walls, and when they looked down from the walls, they could see a huge piece of their backs.

"Phew!"

A shot struck him in the middle of the back, and the rogue fell to the ground with a thud, and the cart toppled to the side.

How fierce the rogues are when they come, and how embarrassed they are when they fall.

The most terrifying thing is that this firearm is not dumb after one round, it can keep fighting, it can keep fighting, as if it doesn't take time to reload ammunition.

Zhu Changxun was dumbfounded, and he finally understood why the little wave bottom water thief who had lasted for more than a thousand years and had not been cleaned up was easily exterminated in the hands of the white kite.

It turns out that the firearms under this white kite are so powerful!

After a frenzied beating, the morale of the rogues outside the city could not hold on.

The rogues in the front row refused to charge again, and the rogues in the back row did not dare to move forward, and then, the string that collapsed was suddenly cut off, and all the rogues screamed "wow" and retreated.

No matter how the tigers beat the drums, they refused to take another step forward.

The thieves retreated......

The tiger glanced at the majestic Luoyang City in front of him and knew that this city could not be defeated by itself. Well, anyway, he was here to try, even if he couldn't beat it, he didn't have a head, he greeted his younger brother Duhu, took the defeated army, retreated quickly, went to find King Chuang, Chuang General's Department converged, and continued to advance into Huguang.

"The thieves have retreated!"

"The thieves have fled!"

A huge cheer erupted in Luoyang City.

Zhu Changxun looked left and right, confirmed that it was safe, and laughed loudly: "Little thief, you don't know what you can do, you dare to attack Luoyang?" Hahaha! With this king sitting here, how can you Xiaoxiao attack it? Hahaha! ”
