Li Xiao said nothing, climbed up a big tree and looked at the Zhenjiang Fort in front of him. The gate of the fort opened, and two Tatar soldiers looked around while yawning while fastening their belts.

The Tatar soldiers did not have the habit of doing morning exercises. Some yawning and stretching Tatar soldiers appeared one after another in Zhenjiang Fort. There were also some people speaking loudly in Manchu. It looked like a large courtyard in later generations.

Soon it was time to eat, and many Tatar soldiers were holding bowls of rice.

Li Xiao carefully counted the number of people. The number of people may not be accurate at other times. When eating, the number of people was basically accurate. Except for the four people on guard at the door, almost everyone gathered in the military camp to eat. The weather was very hot.

, no one was wearing armor. Li Xiao even saw several shirtless Tatar soldiers!

"How could this be?" Li Xiao checked it twice, but the doubts in his heart became even heavier.

It's not because there are many people here, but because there are too few Tatar soldiers in Zhenjiang Fort. After checking, there are only more than 300 people, and after looking carefully for a long time, it doesn't look like a trap.

When the Tatar soldiers at the door were bored, they saw three shirtless young men of seventeen or eighteen years old walking up the road. After seeing the Tatar soldiers, they said something in Chinese. Then they picked up stones from the ground.

Then he threw it towards the Tatar soldiers.

They were used to bullying Han people on weekdays, but now they were actually being stoned. How could they bear this tone? None of the four of them brought bows and arrows, and after saying hello, they pulled out their sabers and chased the Han people who didn't know whether to live or die.

The Tatar soldiers in Zhenjiang Fort laughed and crowded to the gate of the village with their rice bowls in hand to watch the fun.

The four men chased them more than a hundred meters away. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer, thirty or forty people suddenly emerged from the grass beside the road. These people all had spears in their hands and stabbed the four people randomly.

Four people were surrounded by thirty or forty people and stabbed. Even gods couldn't protect them. They could care about the top, but they couldn't care about the bottom. But in the blink of an eye, the four people were covered in blood holes. These thirty or forty people whistled.

He jumped up and ran into the woods in the distance.

The Tatar soldiers in Zhenjiang Fort were stunned. It had been a long time since the Han Chinese had been so bold. Many of them quickly ran to the stables, mounted their horses, raised their sabers, and rushed out. After catching up with these damn guys, they found

Their village. Kill them all!

After leaving the village gate, they only had to organize their troops for a moment when more than two hundred Tatar soldiers on horseback came after them.

Ao Canghai ran back to the woods with the recruits. These recruits were killing people for the first time. Many of them sat down on the ground, gasping for air. Their legs were shaking as if they were playing a pipa!

Li Xiao clenched his fist forward with one hand and raised his thumb high. When the Tatar soldiers reached a distance of 150 meters, they shouted loudly: "Let go!"

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

Almost as soon as the gun fired, a dozen Tatar soldiers in the front row on the opposite side fell off their horses.

After the first row of soldiers fired their guns, they immediately squatted down, turned the muzzles of their guns upside down, and quickly loaded ammunition. The second row of soldiers behind them began to aim, and after a few breaths, Li Xiao gave another order, "Fire!"

"Pah! Pah! Pah!...!" The sound of gunshots sounded like popping beans, and this time more than thirty Tatar soldiers in the front row fell off their horses.

Next is the third row! This time more Tatar soldiers fell, reaching more than fifty.

Still fifty or sixty meters away from the woods, the Tatar cavalry had lost half of their men. But these Tatar soldiers still rushed forward with a roar, and the howling sound in their mouths was like the howl of wolves.

This kind of fierce and fearless momentum proves that these Tatar soldiers are definitely elite. Li Xiao suddenly wanted to understand something. Isn't more than 300 people the number of people under Niu Lu's command?

It seems that this is a serious group of Eight Banners soldiers.

When the ferocious faces of the Eight Banners soldiers on the opposite side could be clearly seen, the recruits took out a dark object one after another. After lighting it on fire, they threw it out with all their strength.

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

Because he could not carry a trebuchet this time, in order to make up for the lack of firepower, Li Xiao asked Wang Laosan to make many pottery bottles and fill them with iron sand and gunpowder. After they were lit, they could definitely be used as grenades.

It is especially useful to deal with the cavalry in front of them who are not wearing any armor.

The recruits are also divided into three rows. The first row throws out. The second row throws out after an interval of five seconds, so that a fire blocking zone can be formed at a distance of about thirty meters.

Although it can only last for about ten seconds, it can already cause heavy damage to the Tatar soldiers.

Sure enough, countless explosions continued for about ten seconds. The musketeers could not see the target clearly at this time, but they still fired a row of guns into the smoke.

Ao Canghai looked nervously at the smoke while holding a machete. The second row of musketeers stood ready. They would shoot whenever they saw a human figure.

Seeing that the third row of musketeers had been loaded and ready to fire at any time, Ao Canghai decisively gave the firing order!

Three rounds of gunfire were fired into the smoke, but not a single Tatar soldier emerged from the smoke.

Soon the smoke cleared, and what appeared in front of us was a pile of corpses.

These corpses were covered with wounds, which were caused by iron nails and iron sand. Some corpses were beaten like a hornet's nest by flying iron sand, and some had obvious gunshot wounds.

A few people were lying on the ground, moaning and howling loudly. The vast majority of people were hit by flying shrapnel. Even those who were not dead were almost dead.

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

The Tatar soldiers who had not come out of Zhenjiang Fort closed the gate tightly. They were afraid that these Ming troops would take advantage of the situation to attack.

Li Xiao would not be stupid enough to attack the fortress. There are so many grain stacks outside the city. I am here to grab grain this time, but it is not impossible to set a little fire.

From where the horse feed was piled, thick smoke soon began to rise into the sky.

Although war horses are also horses, they eat horse feed instead of grass. The Jurchens value horses very much. Many of the war horses ridden by nobles are fed rice, and they eat better than the Han people.

Only a war horse that is fed with ** feed will have sufficient physical strength. When fighting, it will have better physical fitness to carry its master in battle.

The musketeers fired continuously at the wall of the village to intimidate! The recruits from Shandong quickly picked up the food and ran to the river. Now Li Xiao regretted not bringing a wheelbarrow. That way he could transport more

of food!

The Tatar soldiers in Zhenjiang Fort were suppressed by muskets. As soon as their heads showed up, they would be bombarded with bullets. Helpless, they could only watch the Ming soldiers carrying away the food like ants moving.
