Chapter 545 Tractor
"Throw the grenade..." Lan Tianye ordered loudly.
He has not been in the Guards for long, but he still understands the power and functions of the various weapons of the Guards, such as muskets and grenades.
According to his judgment, more than one enemy must be rushing forward at this time, and grenades should be used to block the opponent.
"Bang..." Lan Tianye stepped forward and stabbed the Qing general who climbed over the low wall. Sparks shot out. The person who came was a general in the Qing army. He looked very strong and was also a good practitioner.
.
Lan Tianye originally aimed for the opponent's neck with his sword, but was blocked by the opponent's weapon.
After all, he is not as flexible as before, Lan Tianye sighed in his heart.
If he had been back then, this sword was as fast as lightning, and the opponent would definitely not be able to dodge it.
That man also knew that Lan Tianye was the little leader of the bandit army, so he went with Lan Tianye.
At this time, the new recruits from the Yantianbao brigade had already thrown the grenades.
At this moment, a sudden gust of wind blew up, and the thick smoke surged like waves, then disappeared.
Just because the shooting was interrupted for a moment, many Qing troops have already rushed forward in front of this position.
"Boom, boom, boom..." With the explosion of grenades, the Qing troops who were twenty or thirty meters close to the position were cleared out in an instant, and there were many wailing wounded soldiers in front of the position.
Lan Tianye had fought with the Qing general for more than a dozen times, but he could never find a flaw in the opponent's attack.
Naturally, Lan Tianye would not admit that the other party was better than him in martial arts. He just thought that the other party was young and in good physical condition.
However, it would not be a problem to continue fighting like this. His men were all watching, and this young Qing general happened to be occupying a gap, allowing their men to continuously charge forward.
At this moment, a gunshot was heard from Lan Tianye's side. The Qing general covered his chest and looked at Lan Tianye's side in disbelief.
"Dad, this head belongs to a child." Lan Xiaowei, Lan Tianye's second son, said, holding up a revolver.
This guy arrogantly put the muzzle of the gun in front of his mouth and blew a breath.
Gun smoke from the muzzle suddenly floated in front of Lan Tianye.
"Go away... seal this gap for me." Lan Tianye pointed at the gap opened by the Qing general and said angrily to his youngest son.
Lan Tianye did not avoid suspicion. Several squadron leaders under his command were either his sons or his apprentices.
My son's martial arts and marksmanship are pretty good, but he's a bit brainless.
What the second child said just now, if no one else was around, he would definitely kick him to the ground.
"Bang bang bang..."
Lan Tianye followed Lan Xiaowei with his eyes and saw him running to the position with his gun raised. Several Qing soldiers who had just climbed over the low wall were knocked to the ground one by one by him.
Lan Tianye thought, this continuous hand cannon is really good. If each of the escorts in the escort agency could get one, there would be no place in the world.
But I heard that the cost of this thing is not cheap, it is more expensive than the long blazing gun used by soldiers.
This Chinese race is so powerful. They have such things, quite a lot, otherwise it would be impossible to equip them with every squadron leader.
In fact, among the old units of the Guards, many squad leaders are already equipped with revolvers.
The Americans were able to make this pistol before 1840. Its technology did not pose any problems to Dong Liang.
The anger that originally limited its production has now been resolved long ago.
Moreover, the Guards also made a fixed bullet for pistols with a flash cap, paper tube and conical bullet.
Before metal fixed ammunition, this kind of paper tube fixed ammunition was an important transitional product. It made the filling of revolvers more efficient.
Although the escort temporarily blocked the crazy attack of the Qing army, the Qing army had already reached the low wall in many places throughout the position.
Several points have been breached, and these breached points are still spreading to the surrounding areas.
The sniper rifle in Dong Liang's hand was specially designed to shoot down those generals of the Qing army. These people were the main force in breaking through the defense line of the escort army.
In the Qing army, these people often used their personal abilities to tear a hole in the defense line of the escort army first, and then other Qing troops followed suit.
However, there were too many such people, and Dong Liang simply couldn't kill them. Moreover, once the opponent entered the military formation, Dong Liang could not take action anymore.
"Teacher, let me go." Zhou Rulong also held a musket in his hand, and he had already fixed the bayonet.
Everyone can see that the escort is in a very dangerous state at this time.
"Sigh... After all, this is a new army that cannot bear a hard battle. After this battle in Fujian, we have to stop for a while. We must first train the army in our hands well."
"Don't go up, just shoot the enemy here." Dong Liang said to Zhou Rulong. This disciple is not good at fighting. He doesn't want the other party to die in vain and let a talented person do something he is not good at.
, that is a waste.
After saying that, Dong Liang took the only dozen or so guards around him, installed bayonets on his rifles, and then rushed towards the gap closest to him.
The artillerymen at the back were still firing, because some of the artillery barrels had overheated, and the density of the shelling was obviously less dense.
More and more Qing troops rushed towards the escort position. Most of the troops brought by Wang Yide were veterans of the Qing army. These people were skilled in combat and experienced.
Just at this moment, a gap opened in the middle of the Qing army, and a cavalry force consisting of four to five hundred people rushed towards the guard's position.
These new soldiers under Dong Liang had never fought against cavalry. At this time, when they saw the enemy's cavalry pressing forward with overwhelming momentum, they were all horrified.
Even though Dong Liang had thought about the worst case scenario, he still panicked at this moment.
He hurriedly ordered to send out a signal, and the artillerymen in the rear came up with their final trump card.
Shoot all rockets at once.
"Whoosh whoosh..." A rocket dragged its long tail, passed over the escort position, and flew forward.
In the huge dark eyes of the war horses, the number of rockets is increasing, and the light is getting bigger and bigger, seeming to light up the eyes of these war horses.
However, these loyal war horses are still advancing and charging according to their master's instructions, showing no fear of anything in front of them.
These war horses have been specially trained and are not afraid of the sound of guns.
"Boom, boom, boom..." Violent explosions exploded in and around the horses.
This time the artillery fired incendiary rockets. The thick tar burned wherever it stuck.
Some war horses became fire horses.
The fire aroused the most primitive fear in their hearts.
Tens of millions of years ago, their ancestors once saw the grassland burst into flames after being struck by lightning, and countless creatures perished in the fire. Therefore, the fear of fire was imprinted in their genes and passed down from generation to generation, becoming their instinct.
.
"Xilulu..." The whine of the war horse came.
The covering fire of rockets blocked the Qing cavalry, but their infantry continued to charge forward.
There is no other way now, the last card has been played.
"Shan Yaodong, and Wei Xin, if you two don't come here, I might be left here." Dong Liang rarely encountered such a desperate situation, and he would always try to consider all emergencies in advance.
Condition.
But this time he met Wang Yide. The change in the governor's personality caused him to make errors in judgment.
His cards haven't been played yet, this Wang Yide is about to stud with him.
However, the Qing army would not give Dong Liang a chance. More and more Qing troops crossed the low wall and fought with the escort.
Losing the range advantage of muskets and switching to close combat, these new recruits of the escort army were no match for the veterans of the Qing army.
