Chapter two hundred and seventy-eight: the earth shakes
These strong men were a little nervous.
It is a lie to not be nervous. Seeing the flesh-and-blooded fighting just now, everyone's heart was a little nervous.
After all, they were just mountain people before, perhaps they were fond of swords and guns, hunted prey, and even occasionally participated in armed battles. But what they were facing today was such a bloody scene. Under the city tower, the shouts of killing from the depths of their throats, the heart-wrenching wailings, drums, and guns made these mountain people who had experienced the battle formation for the first time panic.
Compared to the crazy rebels and musketeers, the mountain people were extremely subtle. Although they felt a strong murderous intent, they did not bring them into this kind of death atmosphere. In their eyes, the rebels may not be so hateful, and they may not be willing to use their lives to defend this barrier.
However, these practices over time have made them roughly understand what obedience means.
Call a command.
They lifted the box and held grenades.
That's right, they are now the grenadiers who are famous in another time and space a hundred years later.
Their movements were quite smooth, which was naturally due to the urgent exercises for several days. They took out a grenade from the box, then took out the fire stick around their waists, and blew it at the fire stick, and sparks suddenly appeared.
The fire ignited a lead wire connected under the grenade. The lead wire began to rise, but everyone did not rush to throw it out because after the practice these days, the hundreds of households took great pains to let them stay for a few seconds before throwing it out, and to regulate their grenade movements. At this time, the effect of the exercise appeared.
Time suddenly passed.
When the leads were halfway burned, they immediately threw the grenade from the top of the city.
More than two hundred grenades were thrown out at the same time, and they fell to the city in a parabola.
This sudden thing did not attract the attention of the rebels, because the guys responsible for loading the muskets became grenadiers. On the city tower, the interval between the guns was obviously widened, and the muskets had to fill their own gunpowder, which made the rebels breathe a sigh of relief.
But this tone seemed to be relaxed for a while. At least for the rebels under the city who thought they were no longer worried about muskets, the nightmare began.
Boom...boom...boom...boom...
The continuous explosion began, and the earth shook.
The entire city seemed to be shaking, and the world became unreal.
Countless black smoke rose up.
Immediately afterwards, countless wailings.
The power of the grenade is many times stronger than that of the shell. After all, the shell is solid. Its advantage is that it can shoot from a long time and has a lot of impact, which gives the rebels a very intuitive impact and shock. The grenade is covered with a layer of iron sheet on the outside, mixed with gunpowder. Once ignited, after the explosion, the gas produced will spread hugely on the iron sheet on the outside and then explode. At the same time, the steel nails and iron sheets mixed in the gunpowder will also splash out, splashing around at an extremely fast speed. Although these are just a slight bit of steel nails and iron sheets, they are just the size of a little finger, but after the explosion, the steel steel burns red instantly and flies out at high speed. Even the rebels wearing armor cannot withstand such impact. The iron sheets and steel nails directly enter the flesh, and some even pass through the chest directly.
What's even more terrifying is that there are dozens of steel nails and iron sheets hidden in each grenade, and the explosion of iron sheets is broken and decomposed, and the two hundred grenades are ten times more lethal than shells.
Needless to say, the rebels gathered in the city in a dense crowd, and these people provided the best conditions for grenades to harvest their lives.
Grenades are originally created by ancient people, namely the so-called flowering bullet.
Once it explodes, it will be like a flower, and no one around it will be spared.
As for the manufacturing process, it is just a hollow cast iron bullet and reed tube to make a fuse. Nanjing Manufacturing Bureau may not be able to manufacture it on a large scale. However, Hao Fenglou's Shenwu Manufacturing Bureau was able to get it because of his sufficient skills accumulation before.
At this time, the air seemed to have suffocated.
The shouts of killing came to an abrupt end.
The wind is whistling and blowing away the smoke of gunpowder.
Under the walls of Guancheng, some people covered their stomachs, some people covered their faces, some people fell straight down, some people rolled and crawled, and some people looked around in horror. The sound of drums and muskets covered their shrill wailing, just like a heavy silent drama. The scene of the silent drama is only black and white, black smoke and black blood. The black people are twisting their bodies and wailing towards the sky, and the whole person is arching, wriggling, wriggling, and wriggling again.
Shocking...
All the rebels were shocked when they saw nearly a thousand comrades under the city.
They forgot to shout, suffocate, and remain silent.
The series of explosions trembled their hearts, but the scene of hell on earth in front of them was even more shocking.
Someone covered his eyes, and his eyes were shot through by iron nails. The blood flowed out of the gap between his hands, and he rushed to the thick walls regardless of his own fault. It seemed that only self-harm could relieve his current pain.
Someone was lying on the ground and twitching constantly, the blood overflowing from his mouth was black, his body was thrusting, and his body was covered with intact skin.
Some people are dead, and they are dying inexplicably. Victory is right in front of them, but now, their lives are gone like smoke blown away.
Some people went crazy, and they ran to the back team frantically, limping. They didn't care whether they would be shot by the musket after leaving the city, nor did they expect that the personal soldiers supervising the battle would cut off their heads. They just wanted to run, the farther away from here, the better.
The explosion has stopped, but what remains are even more terrifying than the explosion.
The morale of the rebels began to shake, and many people were already scared, and even the rebels who were supervising the war suddenly lost their mood.
One...two...
Then he coaxed him, like a group of beasts running wildly. Everyone turned their heads and left the city block with no chance.
Many people are not afraid of death. They know that they have taken the wrong path, they know that they have no choice, they believe in the words of the leaders and are willing to do everything they can to take down the city. They all have only a simple wish to capture the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and their wives and children will not be implicated by them.
Therefore, they are fearless and can rush to kill with guns and cannons without fear. Even if they die, they will have no regrets.
But they didn't want to die like this, or they suddenly became enlightened, and they realized that death was so painful, and their death was so meaningless.
The people all over the mountains looked in the opposite direction of Guanzhe, like frightened deer.
Chen Qinrang had forgotten to stop drinking, but he also understood that even if he stopped drinking, it would not be effective, because even he himself was blinded by fear. At this time, he was stunned and fell into petrification.
What's this……
How is this possible...
This thing is actually more powerful than a musket or cannon.
How could he know that grenades have a certain meaning. For a long time in later generations, they were known as the artifact to guard the city. In the West, grenadiers were the most elite troops in nearly a hundred years. However, after the large number of firearms were used, the castles had been eliminated. Therefore, there were fewer and fewer battles in siege and defending the city, and the importance of grenades gradually disappeared.
This simple and extremely lethal weapon is now showing its expertise here.
When Hao Fenglou saw countless rebels starting to flee in all directions, he breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he was not sure about the effect. He was never a weapon theory, but the emergence of a sharp weapon can indeed affect one battle after another.
Standing at Guanlou, seeing the frightened birds retreating in a scattered manner, Hao Fenglou felt a pity. If he had a team of cavalry in his hand at this time, perhaps...
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The most surprising thing is the grenadier. These grenadiers never thought that they would have such an effect by flying out the grenades in an understatement. They were full of surprise and never recovered.
But at this time, someone slapped the city wall so hard that his palms were already swollen. He said in an excited voice: "Okay, okay, okay!"
Even if you call three good words, it is hard to describe Zhu Di's excitement at this time.
His originally wavering confidence has now been regained. Of course, he did not expect that Hao Fenglou, a guy, would have opened his eyes again.
It turns out that in this world, you can fight in this way in the city defense battle. It turns out that inconspicuous things can exert such power.
Zhu Di even felt that his Jingnan Campaign was a bit of a pediatrician. If... if the Southern Army had such a powerful weapon at that time and refused to be guarded, Zhu Di would almost have difficulty in exploring whether his Jingnan could succeed. I am afraid that at this time, he would have become a prisoner of Jianwen.
Huh... He let out a long breath, mixed with very complex emotions. Although the smoke from the city was pungent, he gradually fell in love with this smell. This smell made Zhu Di more intoxicated than the fuel tank emitted from leather, and more comfortable than the rebellious horse.
