Chapter 1425 The Power of the Thunder Cannon
The leader of the team outside the village was Hu Guozhu, one of Wu Sangui's four pillars and eight pillars. This man was Wu Sangui's confidant. He followed Wu Sangui all the way from Shanhaiguan to Chuncheng, and even entered Burma to capture Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty. He was also the vanguard.
After Han Yu ran away that day, Wu Sangui sent people to find all the witches, gods and men throughout the journey and asked them about the mountain gods.
However, after asking each other separately, they found that the caliber did not match up, and they immediately judged that the mountain god theory might be a rumor.
But the injuries on his hands cannot be faked.
Because witchcraft is popular in Yunnan Province, Wu Sangui speculated that Zhu Cixuan may have obtained the help of some witchcraft masters and used sorcery to cause such anomalies.
Therefore, Wu Sangui ordered many of his generals to lead their own troops into twelve separate groups to search the mountain. They must capture Zhu Cixuan and see him alive and his body alive.
As long as Zhu Cixuan is alive, he will have trouble sleeping and eating.
Hu Guozhu didn't know that the Mu family's village was here. He just sent people to conduct a blanket search and came here by accident.
Hu Guozhu was overjoyed when he saw the flag of the Mu family flying on the village.
You know, the Mu family was also a registered rebel in the Qing court. If they could catch the leader, they would be promoted and rich.
"Yes, he is one of the confidants of the dog thief Wu Sangui."
"Come just come, with the help of the magic weapon of the Immortal Family, even if Wu Sangui has thousands of troops, it will be difficult to get any advantage."
However, this time, the enemy didn't even touch the edge of the city wall, and they all died. Not to mention those on our own side who were killed, there were not even any injured.
Boom, boom, boom!
What's more, the opponent is the famous Guan Ning cavalry.
In his opinion, what resistance could a small stronghold have? His Guan Ning cavalry could knock the stronghold down with a single charge.
Boom boom boom!
The explosive packets exploded one by one, and the violent explosions formed shock waves that swept within a dozen meters of the surrounding area.
Han Yu issued the order.
The body lay on the ground.
Han Yu was somewhat impressed by this name.
After the smoke cleared, the battlefield became completely peaceful.
Han Yu said.
When fighting the enemy, no one will die?
"Hu Guozhu? Wu Sangui's person?"
At the top of the village, Han Yu looked at the cavalry charging down below with a sneer on his face. This was simply an experience package delivered to his door. If he didn't accept it, he would be betraying the other party's feelings.
As for the war horses, they were all brought back to the stockade to be slaughtered, and everyone had a look of joy on their faces.
Mu Tianbo quickly replied.
"Come on!"
Another volley.
"Go clean the battlefield and identify the enemy troops. The war horses should be useless. Slaughter them all. Give extra meals to the soldiers. The extra food will be distributed to the people in the village and everyone will celebrate together."
Especially when fighting cavalry, there will be heavy casualties.
The inner fear of these survivors spread, and they turned their horses and prepared to escape.
When the soldiers of the First Grenadier Corps saw a thousand war horses lining up and charging towards them, it was impossible not to be afraid. The formation of a thousand horses lining up and charging towards them was still amazing, like a stormy sea.
Generally, if you have poor psychological quality, you may turn around and run away.
Mu Tianbo replied.
"Don't let anyone escape, fire!"
Naturally, the people below will do these trivial matters. Han Yu took Mu Tianbo back to the hall.
Thunder cannons sounded, and explosive packets flew out one by one and landed on the heads of the cavalry.
Where has he fought such a battle since he joined the army?
Just when they were about to calm the horses and charge again, the explosive packets had already reached their heads.
Han Yu said.
Even the reinforced concrete bunkers can't carry such explosives, let alone these cavalry wearing only armor?
After a round of explosions, both men and horses lay on the ground. Only the last row of cavalry who were far away survived.
This is a result that was unimaginable before.
Those war horses and cavalrymen were all stupid.
Hundreds of explosive packets flew over everyone's heads again.
From Shanhaiguan to Yunnan Province, he fought hundreds of battles, big and small, and won more than he lost, so he developed an arrogant character.
Mu Tianbo took the order and led everyone down to clean up the battlefield.
"If God does not take what he wants, he will suffer the consequences. Everyone is ready, ready, and fire!"
However, after a period of queue training, they developed the habit of following orders and prohibitions.
Mu Tianbo was so excited that several strands of his beard were pulled off.
"yes!"
"Did you recognize the person's identity?"
The soldiers following him drew their swords and rushed towards the stockade.
But the soldiers of the First Legion on the top of the city had mechanically completed the second round of filling.
Mu Tianbo is a veteran on the battlefield, so he naturally knows how to clean up the battlefield.
However, under this round of volley, two-thirds of our own people were killed. Is this really artillery?
Han Yu asked.
Even if you stick to the wall, someone will die from arrows.
Could it be that the heavenly soldiers have descended?
As for whether there might be resistance in the village, Hu Guozhu didn't bother to think about it.
"Since Hu Guozhu can search here, Wu Sangui must not be too far away. Hu Guozhu did not go back today. Wu Sangui will definitely send people to search along Hu Guozhu's route. Mujiazhai will be exposed in these few days."
The thousand cavalry brought by Hu Guozhu were completely wiped out.
The superior did not give an order. They subconsciously overcame their instinct and did not turn around and run away immediately.
"It is indeed a magic weapon taught by the immortal family, and its power is indeed extraordinary!"
After hearing the order to fire, my body reacted instinctively without even thinking about it. Loading the cannonball, loading the ignition rope, and igniting the ignition rope were like machines, and the whole process was completed without thinking.
The corpses of enemy soldiers were buried in large pits and sprinkled with lime to prevent the spread of disease.
The sudden explosion shocked the war horses, and many of them raised their front hooves, almost throwing away the cavalrymen on them.
After Mu Tianbo saw the battlefield power of the flying thunder cannon, his confidence increased dramatically.
"Back to Your Highness, I recognized him. He is the thief general Hu Guozhu. I have fought against him many times. Even if this thief turns to ashes, I can still recognize him."
"Brothers, rush into Mujiazhai, take the head and go back to ask for a reward!"
It's not that they have never seen cannons. Wu Sangui's army had artillery, but they were front-loaded bronze cannons that fired projectiles. Their power was limited. Killing people depended on luck. Even in a dense formation, only a few people could be fired at a time.
Mu Tianbo looked at the situation on the battlefield and gasped with excitement.
Boom, boom, boom!
First, take off all the enemy's weapons and armor, repair the ones that can be used, and re-forge the ones that can't be used.
Thanks to the superb skills of those cavalrymen, they firmly grasped the reins and maintained their balance so that they were not thrown out.
In their opinion, there is no need to be cautious about a mere village, it is easy to get.
Han Yu ordered.
"What's the point of just guarding Mujiazhai?"
Han Yu couldn't help but shook his head after hearing this.
"What do you mean, Your Highness?"
"Follow Hu Guozhu's traces to find Wu Sangui's location, and kill this thief in one fell swoop."
Chapter completed!
