Chapter 166 The Grenadiers Show their Power

In an instant, hundreds of cannons were fired!

Hundreds of solid shells crossed the sky and smashed towards the advancing Ming army.

Some shells hit the chariots at the forefront of the Ming army array, leaving a deep dent on the chariots, while more shells crashed into the Ming army array, and one shell penetrated a row of Ming soldiers.

At this time, the safest place in the Ming army array was the place behind the chariots.

Seeing someone falling down, the Ming soldiers around him were frightened and almost died. They were the ones who died. They were scared and they were so scared that they dared to move forward.

"Don't stop, go quickly!" The officer not far away shouted loudly, and the irritable officer directly whipped him with a whip.

With the efforts of the officers, a few places in the Ming army where problems occurred were quickly recovered.

Under a round of artillery bombardment by the People's Army, hundreds of people were killed or injured in the Ming army. This casualty was insignificant for the Ming army with a force of nearly 80,000. However, the Ming army was unwilling to be bombarded in vain and speed up the marching speed as much as possible. At the same time, the Ming army was also preparing to use artillery to counterattack.

In this era, the biggest feature of the Folang machine cannon compared with other artillery is its rate of fire. The three Folang machine cannon battalions of the People's Army fired six rounds in a row, causing thousands of casualties to the Ming army, and the Ming army's counterattack was slowly late.

Hundreds of solid artillery shells passed through the People's Army's firearms troops and directly smashed into the array of cold weapons troops, causing considerable casualties to the People's Army.

"Don't stop, keep moving forward."

There are too many new recruits in the People's Army's cold weapon troops, and it is easier to be stunned when they see comrades falling down in front of them. The officers can only wake up these soldiers with words, and some others will also pull the comrades who are stunned.

The faint death did not stop the Ming army from advancing, nor did the People's Army advance. With artillery fire, the two armies were approaching quickly, and the distance was less than five hundred meters.

Suddenly, the People's Army stopped.

"Prepare! Open fire!"

The six infantry company commanders waved the goose feather sword together, and the next moment, more than 250 tiger-headed spears opened fire at the advancing Ming army.

I saw more than 250 lead bullets plunged into the Ming army array like lightning. Most of the lead bullets were blocked by Ming army chariots, but dozens of lead bullets drilled into the gaps between the chariots, causing dozens of casualties to the Ming army.

Six infantry companies shot several rounds in a row, which only brought hundreds of casualties to the Ming army, which was not as high as the casualties caused by the four artillery battalions to the Ming army.

"Let the two infantry battalions of the firearms unit cease fire, and the army continues to advance!"

Seeing that the tiger-headed spear could not cause much damage to the Ming army, Wang Shengrong immediately issued a new order. Soon, the two infantry battalions evacuated from the front of the line, first climbed the troops and grenadiers to fill the gap, and the People's Army continued to move forward with great strides.

Three hundred meters

Two hundred meters

The People's Army and the Ming Army were getting closer and closer. When the distance between the two armies was less than 150 meters, it was the Ming army's turn to stop this time. Many Ming soldiers carrying muskets rushed out from behind the chariots, aimed the muzzle at the People's Army, and shot lead bullets representing death.

The muskets equipped by the Ming army were front-mounted smoothbore guns. They were more than 100 meters away, and they didn't know where the lead bullets flew to. It might be from the sky or the ground. Some lead bullets hit the People's Army soldiers. However, at such a long distance, the power of the lead bullets would be greatly reduced. They were blocked by the soldiers of the First Landing Army holding shields. There were very few people who were accidentally shot by the Ming army muskets.

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

The rapid sound of war drums sounded, and the People's Army soldiers went from walking quickly to running, strode towards the Ming army that had already stopped.

The soldiers of the first troops held the shield tightly, and the soldiers of the grenade troops took out a grenade from the special backpack behind them and held it tightly in their hands.

"Run! Rush!"

With a distance of more than 100 meters, the fully armed People's Army soldiers needed to run for more than 20 seconds, while the Ming army's musketeers had only one chance to fire.

As the Ming army's musket soldiers opened fire again, the number of casualties in the People's Army increased this time. Many soldiers who first landed in the army had their shields pierced by lead bullets, and finally the lead bullets pierced into their bodies.

Seeing the People's Army rushing over, the Ming army's musket soldiers who could no longer carry out the next round of shooting were not stupid enough to stay at the front of the array to fight against the People's Army. They quickly retreated back to the back of the chariot. At the same time, many Ming soldiers holding cold weapons walked out from behind the chariots, and amid the sound of the Ming army's war drums, clasped their weapons and rushed forward.

"kill!"

"Kill all the thieves!"

As the shouts of killing were getting closer and closer, just when the two armies were less than ten meters recently, hundreds of grenades flew out of the People's Army's array and fell into the Ming army.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions sounded in the Ming army, and the exploded grenades turned into countless pieces, harvesting the lives of the Ming soldiers around them.

At this moment, the earth was stained red by the blood of the Ming soldiers. At this moment, the Ming soldiers shouted and killed were replaced by the wailing sounds of the injured Ming soldiers.

The sudden change scene stunned many uninjured Ming soldiers. They saw the grenade for the first time and didn't understand what was going on.

Just when most of the Ming soldiers were stunned, the soldiers of the People's Army first rushed forward with big swords and battle axes. The Ming soldiers had just come to their senses and slashed with a knife (axe) towards them.

Blood splattered everywhere!

The soldiers of the First Landing troops were fighting with the Ming army. The soldiers of the Grenadiers behind the First Landing troops had already taken out a second grenade, ignited it, and threw it forward fiercely.

There were another series of explosions, and thousands of Ming soldiers fell down in the explosion, causing a long "vacuum zone" to appear in the Ming army array. No one in the vacuum zone was standing, and the Ming soldiers behind them did not dare to step forward for a moment.

"Die, all dead."

"Is this a thief's magic?"

Various thoughts flashed through Ming Jun's mind, and the fear in his heart suddenly increased. For a moment, the morale of the Ming Jun fell sharply!

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The Ming army was scared and trembled. The People's Army did not. The soldiers of the first troops rushed forward frantically. In every second, hundreds of Ming soldiers fell down.

Soon, the third round of grenades of the grenade troops came, and amid the explosion, thousands of Ming troops fell down again.

"Run!"

I don’t know who was the first to escape, but many Ming soldiers turned around and fled. Under the fight between the People’s Army and the three-wheeled grenade bombardment of the grenade troops, the Ming army was finally defeated!

At this time, Song Yingchang, who was in the middle army, was wearing ordinary soldiers' clothes, had no time to think about whether he would be shot and killed by the enemy from a distance. He climbed up to the platform and looked at the front army from afar, and only saw the front army that had been defeated and fled backwards.
