Chen Yongfu touched the short beard of his jaw and thought for a while before asking uncertainly: "Don't you want to attack with water?"

Because he knew that the possibility of sneak attack was not high. The Break Army had a large area of ​​paddy fields in front of the defense line, and only a few land routes could pass through. However, it was the key place for the Break Army's artillery to guard against. Even if the soldiers lurked over, as long as the fire media was ignited to ignite the bomb, it would be easy to be discovered by the enemy. If they sneaked into the enemy's defense line and both sides held people behind, it would only be a life for human life. Even if he became a monk halfway through, he knew that such a loss-making transaction could not be done.

"Where can we get there?" Zhou He shook his head: "Isn't we just sent us fifty spontaneous bombs today. Just let the troops sneak into about twenty steps away from the enemy and throw bombs into the defense line of the crusade army. When the crusade army is bombed, the subsequent troops will follow. Then let our two stone throwers fire at the rear of the enemy with all their strength to block the enemy's reinforcements. As long as they can take down the enemy's first line of defense, the ones behind will be fine. After all, there are sandbags in front and behind their defense line, which is convenient for us to use."

Chen Yongfu was stunned and stopped him and said, "Didn't that spontaneous bomb come for us to try it out? Whether it can be used is still a question. If you use it at such a critical moment, there is a problem. Wouldn't it cause the soldiers to suffer casualties in vain?"

"Since it can be sent to the army, there will be no problem." Zhou He was very confident about the reliability of the weapon: "Let us try it, not let us try it out if it can be used, but see if there are shortcomings that need to be improved. If there are problems with the safety of the bomb, it is impossible to transport it to the army in advance, and each batch will be randomly inspected."

Chen Yongfu looked at Zhou He, but was still worried and did not dare to agree. He would rather use a more stable method to attack after dawn. He finally had his current status, and he was about to establish the country and ascend the throne and reward all the ministers. Now is not the time to make a mistake.

Zhou He said decisively: "This time, the command of the last future is fully in charge. General Chen is unwell and has no idea about this."

Having said that, Chen Yongfu couldn't object anymore, so he could only abide by Zhou He's arrangement.

Just after midnight, Gao Yigong and others in Dangtu County also received the order Li Zicheng asked them to go south to Huzhou and conquer Hangzhou.

"What should we do with the enemy behind?" Gao Yigong asked. Although he didn't want to fight Li Yan's troops head-on, he felt uneasy when he always let Li Yan's team follow him.

The school that sent the order replied: "Your Majesty has discussed with the military advisors and the generals and judged that Li Yan would not continue to go south. Your Majesty ordered the Marquis to report military information to Your Majesty every day. If Li Yan continues to pursue the south, Your Majesty will make a decision at that time."

Gao Yigong had no choice but to express his acceptance of the order.

As soon as the person who sent the order left, he immediately summoned the generals to discuss

.The generals were sleeping in a daze, but when they heard the order to retreat, they were immediately energetic. Although they had been in peace with Li Yan's men these days, they could not have been warned at any time. Since the superiors have asked for retreat, what are they waiting for? Let's leave overnight!

As soon as the generals discussed and agreed, they immediately asked the troops to clean up and retreated overnight. So first, the soldiers in the county started to act, and the soldiers were awakened and began to pack up in chaos to prepare for departure. At the same time, the messengers were sent to inform the troops of the three defense lines, especially the artillery on the first defense line, to evacuate as soon as possible.

However, they informed it a little later. Before they had notified the first line of defense, Zhou He's 200 raid troops had slowly climbed twenty steps outside the line of defense.

The captain saw that his subordinates were ready, and the follow-up troops were just fifty steps after they were able to rush into the defense line of the trespassing army, the follow-up troops would immediately rush up to support.

The captain patted the back of his subordinates in front of him. The subordinate understood and immediately pulled the bomb pull ring at his hand hard. The exposed lead immediately burned with sparks. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally there was no need to worry about igniting the lead with open flames to be exposed in advance. He immediately grabbed the rope of the bomb and threw the bomb into the defense line of the rioters with force.

The bomb drew an arc in the air and flew in from the gap between the ceiling and the sandbag. After a while, it exploded with a loud bang. The rebels in the defense line immediately became chaotic, and Zhiye shouted at the enemy's attack at all. The sleeping person was awakened and panicked, which could not form an effective counterattack at all.

The captain smiled and said, "This fire really works. Brothers, hurry up and greet me and grab this line of defense. Otherwise, we will be in a while."

When the soldiers under his command heard the order, they moved forward quickly or handed the fire bombs they were carrying to the comrades in front. As long as they pulled the ring hard, the leads of the bomb were ignited and they could throw them into the enemy's defense line. What followed was a burst of explosions, and the enemy's panic and injured shouts.

The key to this hair-pulling bomb is a fire-pulling tube. A copper tube is wrapped around the lead head, and the inner wall is covered with flint powder. The pull-ring is wired and connected to a small ball made of copper wire. The flint not only produces sparks when it hits, but also when it rubs vigorously. Therefore, the copper wire ball rubs against the copper tube, causing the flint powder on the inner wall to burn, and the lead can be ignited.

This was discovered by craftsmen who mined and cut flints. After Wang Renhui and others found out about this discovery, they had the idea of ​​using flintstone powder to point the lead wire. After countless tests, they finally found a suitable solution. Now some of the newly produced artillery has improved the ignition holes to adapt to the size of the ignition copper tube. If the effect is good, in the future, the artillery will be fired without the ignition hand to always carefully check whether the flint is extinguished and whether it is time to adjust the length. The artillery firing will become both simple and safe.

After the rumbling explosion, while the rebel army was still in chaos, all the raid troops rushed into the rebel army's defense line. The spearmen and sword and shield soldiers formed a defensive front on both sides. Some of the soldiers behind threw bombs at the enemy, and some fired crossbow arrows, and began to expand to both sides, allowing the subsequent large troops to follow in.

The stone thrower was also transported by the soldiers to the breakthrough point, which was the dead end of the enemy's artillery shooting. They quickly assembled the stone thrower and fired fire pots at the enemy's second line of defense to block the enemy's reinforcements.

However, their fire pots were basically in vain. At the beginning of their attack, the messengers of the rebel army sent the order to retreat. Therefore, all the rebels on the front line who knew the order to retreat ran away as quickly as possible. Before, Shi Jincai specifically told the artillery that had been withdrawn first, and no one cared about it. Only a fool would escape with his life if he had hundreds of kilograms or thousands of kilograms of things.
