Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 652

[Chapter 652]

“Let the cloud ladder team prepare, and the grenadier team immediately seize the city wall and occupy the city gate after throwing the grenade.” The

grenadier team was all in place, and Chang Wei gave an order.

Lu Chang replied yes and passed on the order.

The fifty cloud echelon teams will all be ready soon.

At this moment, Chang Wei gave the order to drop bombs.

“Bang bang bang…” Three gunshots sounded, which was an order to the grenadier team.

The purpose is to allow the grenadiers to throw the grenades at the same time, so as to kill the Qi soldiers on the city wall by surprise.

Hearing the gunshots, the Grenadier soldiers picked up the grenade, unscrewed the back cover, pulled the matchlock, and threw the grenade on the city wall at the same time.

After throwing the first one, they immediately picked up the second grenade and threw it likewise.

Then came the third, and then the fourth.

For a moment, the grenade flew towards the wall of Wubao like migratory locusts.

Seeing short stick-like things flying over, the soldiers of Qi State on the city wall showed stunned expressions. They didn’t know what they were.

Because it seemed that there was no danger, they did not dodge, including Xie Bi who also looked dazed.

But at this moment, the first wave of grenades that flew over fell on the city wall one after another.

“Boom boom boom…” In an instant, the line of the city wall turned into a sea of flames.

Amidst the frequent explosions like firecrackers, the soldiers of Qi State were lifted up by the air waves and fell to the ground screaming.

The sudden explosion stunned the Qi soldiers for a moment, but at this time the second wave of grenades arrived again.

Then came the third wave, and the fourth wave.

There were explosions one after another, and the grenade eggs covered almost every corner of the city wall.

The flames covered the bodies of Qi soldiers, and the sound of explosions covered their miserable howls.

In just a few minutes, all the twelve grenades in the grenadier’s basket were thrown over.

The explosion stopped, and there was a dead silence on the city wall.

“Kill!” At this moment, Yanzhou soldiers carrying ladders stepped across the tunnel.

They leaned the ladder against the city wall of Wubao, and the Yanzhou soldiers who followed behind held the gun with one hand and the ladder with the other, and climbed up the city wall very skillfully.

In addition to the five kilometers on weekdays, climbing ladders is also a daily training subject for them.

It only takes them ten seconds to climb the seven or eight meter high ladder.

The first soldier climbed up the city wall and was immediately startled by the scene before him.

At this moment, there was no living person on the entire city wall, mutilated limbs were everywhere, and the ground was stained red with blood.

However, he was only stunned for a moment, and immediately stepped aside to let the soldiers behind him follow.

He has experienced the battle of Jinzhou, and also experienced the brutal war between Ningjindusi and Beidi, and he is already a qualified veteran.

As more and more Yanzhou soldiers climbed onto the city wall, the city wall was quickly occupied.

Because the grenadier’s attack came too suddenly, and the lethality was huge.

The Qi soldiers in Wubao didn’t react at all.

When the general tried to lead his soldiers up the wall, it was too late.

Yanzhou soldiers lined up in a tight horizontal line along the city wall.

He pulled the trigger towards the soldiers of Qi State who were rushing towards him.

“Bang bang bang…” Gunshots rang out, and the Qi soldiers near the city wall fell down.

Under the cover of Yanzhou soldiers on the city wall, a school lieutenant led his soldiers down the steps and attacked the city gate.

At this time, hundreds of Qi soldiers were hiding in the door opening.

Seeing the Yanzhou soldiers approaching, they hid deeper into the doorway, and at the same time drew out their swords to fight hand-to-hand with the Yanzhou soldiers the moment they entered the doorway.

The captain discovered the intentions of these Qi soldiers, and when he was about to reach the door, he shouted to the soldiers: “Grenade.”

The soldier behind him untied the grenade from his belt, pulled out the matchlock, and went to the door. Throw it there.

“Boom boom boom…”

There was an explosion, and screams immediately sounded in the doorway.

At this time, the Yanzhou soldiers rushed over, and a group of Qi soldiers fell on the ground.

There are still a few soldiers who are not dead, holding their broken legs and screaming.

The captain just glanced at them indifferently, and immediately asked the soldiers to open the city gate.

“Creak.” The doors of the city gate slowly opened to both sides.

At this time, there were shouts of killing breaking through the sky outside the city.

Yanzhou soldiers rushed towards the city gate from all directions with their guns in hand.

After capturing the city gate, the captain did not stop, he continued to lead the soldiers to kill into the city.

As he went deeper, he shouted “Surrender without killing.”

The soldiers behind him shouted in unison.

The chorus of the crowd spread far away.

Through the Qi soldiers captured in Pingyuan City last time, they learned that there are two types of soldiers in the Qi army.

One is naturally a die-hard faction composed of the core children of the Hao family and their fellow clan members.

The Zhang family, the most powerful family in Yan County, was destroyed, among which Zhang Qian, Zhang Kang, Zhang Rang, etc. were the core children.

In addition to these core children, there are nearly 20,000 people surnamed Zhang.

These Zhang family members benefited from the Zhang family and only recognized the patriarch, not the imperial court.

This is also one of the reasons why the Zhang family can control Yan County.

At that time, if they hadn’t been heartbroken by being killed by the royal army, they would not have surrendered at all.

The second part of soldiers is naturally composed of ordinary people recruited.

Of course, there are also some things that are unclear, and the heart is for the wealthy and powerful families.

But the will of most soldiers to resist is not so determined.

Based on this judgment, they would not hold back the Qi soldiers who resisted them.

Han Bi and many Qi generals were killed on the spot on the city wall.

The generals in the city were too small to gather the entire army, so they could only lead their own soldiers to resist or flee.

Of course, many soldiers knelt on the ground and raised their hands.

Because of the hand grenades, the soldiers who attacked Yanzhou in the city were much more courageous.

For the Qi soldiers who were hiding in the corners and tried to fight them hand-to-hand, as long as they found out, they would throw grenades over.

There was a burst of explosions, and these Qi soldiers were blown to pieces.

After seeing the new firearms in the hands of Yanzhou soldiers, the leaderless Qi soldiers’ fighting will quickly fell to the bottom.

Wherever the soldiers of Yanzhou went, the soldiers of Qi State who surrendered fell to their knees.

And as more soldiers from Yanzhou entered Wubao, the soldiers from Qi State were even more powerless to resist.

In the evening, all the recalcitrant Qi soldiers were wiped out, and Chang Wei and Lu Chang strode into Wubao.

“Evening is not bad at all.” Lu Chang laughed for a while, this grenade is really powerful. ” The corners of

Chang Wei’s lips are raised. He is very proud of the new tactics he invented.

Although mortar shells are more powerful than grenades

, there is no doubt that grenades can use tunnels to bomb the enemy unexpectedly.

However, this does not mean that Mortars have been useless since then.

If the enemy is stationed on a mountain, where it is impossible to dig tunnels, they have to rely on mortars.

However, the south of the Jin River is basically a flat river, and his new method of warfare is still very effective. of.

Thinking of this, he said to the guards beside him: “Pass on the general’s order to let Qin Shan and Guan Tong dig tunnels at night, and take down the other two forts tomorrow morning.”
