Seeing the shield car coming out, Ji Liang turned around and said, "You retreat back to the ship first. I will break up with the first team."
The shield car is made of two layers of six-inch hardwood at the front and rear, with sand, gravel and quilts in the middle cavity. Not to mention revolvers, even flintlock rifles cannot penetrate it. Unless a three-pounder cannon is used in the field.
However, the five gunpowder-propelled grenades they carried were originally designed to be used as infantry cannons. They were light and easy to carry, and were specially designed to destroy shield vehicles and civil fortifications.
There is a steel needle on the warhead of the rocket. When this thing hits the wooden shield of the shield vehicle, it will be nailed to it to prevent it from bouncing off. The trigger fuze and time signal will be activated. One kilogram of explosives filled in the warhead is enough to destroy the shield vehicle.
Blast to pieces.
In order to increase the power, magnesium powder is added to the warhead as a luminescent agent, aluminum powder as a combustion accelerant, white sugar as a high-explosive agent, and white phosphorus as a combustion agent.
Seeing everyone else turn around and run away, Ji Liang and the first team picked up rocket-propelled grenades and aimed at the shield truck at the entrance of the village.
It was dark, and the road was full of broken furniture. The shield cart was very heavy and very laborious. The street conditions were very bad, with many potholes. It was impossible to get out for a while.
"Hurry up, move all these rags away and pad the pit." A knight riding school roared angrily.
The soldiers hurriedly cleared the obstacles on the road. They dug soil with their waist knives and put it into the pit.
These primitive rocket launchers were very light and used paper tubes similar to those used in modern large-scale fireworks, but a thin layer of iron was used in the inner chamber to prevent ablation and fire.
These disposable rocket launchers are thrown away after being fired. They do not occupy the establishment and are very flexible to use. You can just apply for them before going on a mission.
A shield truck was finally pushed out of a pit. The roads here are so bad. Normally, no one would repair them. Only now do I know how to worry.
At this time, there was a roar, and a burst of fire broke out fifty meters away. In an instant, they clearly saw a man half-kneeling under a tree, carrying a large pipe on his shoulders.
Flames spurted out from behind the tube, directly lighting up his background.
Before they had time to react, shoot the man with a musket or bow and arrow.
A grenade was in front of me in an instant.
There was a loud bang, and the moment the grenade made contact with the shield wall, the fuse was activated and the entire grenade exploded.
A ball of flames and bright light burst out, filling the entire space at the street entrance. Countless people were blown into pieces, and some were set on fire and burned into flames.
Li Bingzhe, who was behind the six shield vehicles, saw the shield vehicle in front explode, and a huge light ball emitted a strong flash. The entire field of vision was flooded with white light.
Aluminum powder and a small amount of magnesium powder emit intense light.
In this dark night, people's eyes have adapted to the darkness. Although there are a few torches and burning houses behind as a background, it is still in darkness.
Such an intense white light suddenly appeared, causing short-term blindness.
At this time, it was the first time for them to face this kind of flash. They didn't know to close their eyes. This intensified the damage of the white light.
However, this was not over yet, as another four loud noises followed.
Four rockets were fired in. Some hit the houses on one side of the street, turning the houses into burning torches. Some shot into the street from the side of the burning shield truck and exploded behind. Some hit others.
The shield car.
For a moment, the entire half of the street exploded and was flooded with intense white light.
The high temperature from the explosion set the house on fire. The fire caused by the grenade was not extinguished. At this time, under the night wind, a large area of wooden houses was on fire.
Even Hong'er, who had returned to the ship at this time, saw the blazing flames in the distance.
"My eyes are blind"
"I can't see it anymore, ah, ah"
For a moment, the Han army flag soldiers who were not killed were wailing and groping around, covering their eyes. Some waved their weapons randomly to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to get close. However, they cut down the people next to them.
Amidst all kinds of curses, roars, and screams, the whole village was in chaos.
Ji Liang took one look and said, "Retreat, hurry up."
They trotted all the way to a place more than 500 meters away from the ship. They saw Zhu Zhu and thirty people lying here. Zhu Zhu stood up, without saying much, and waved his hand for them to get on the ship first.
Not long after they ran over, they heard the sound of horse hooves. The vests of the Han army were chasing after them.
There are five cows in each Jia La, and each Niu Lu has 42 horsemen. This Jia La has 260 cavalry. However, the stable was bombed before, and the horses were frightened and ran away hundreds of times. At this time, there was only one cavalry.
About one hundred and fifty cavalrymen chased here.
Zhuzi waved his hand, and a corps commander next to him immediately ordered the match rope to be pulled.
Roadside bombs had already been planted on both sides of the road ahead. They buried the remaining explosive bags on the roadside and paved them with gravel.
These explosive packets are detonated with a fire hose, which is connected to a fire rope.
Zhuzi and the others were lying in ambush in the darkness. When they saw the cavalry entering the explosion area, they immediately pulled the rope.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Roadside bombs exploded one after another. The gravel that had been deposited on both sides of the road was blown away intensively, and it hit the cavalry brigade like a torrential rain.
The cavalry team, which was hit by the explosion shock waves from both sides, suddenly fell on their backs. The stones broke the bones and tendons of the men and horses, and they fell off their horses one after another.
There was no explosion from behind, and the war horses were frightened by the sudden explosion. They stood up and neighed, knocking the knight off his horse.
They immediately lost more than fifty cavalrymen. Before the remaining men could react, a heavy barrage of revolver bullets came at them.
Zhu Zhu and thirty of his subordinates, armed with double guns, fired out all twelve bullets. Then, without reloading, they rushed over and threw out the four grenades they carried with them one after another.
These grenades immediately exploded among the remaining cavalry groups.
The cavalry was large in size and had a large target. In the successive explosions, one hundred and twenty grenades were so violent that the remaining one hundred cavalrymen were basically blown up until no one could stand.
Even those who were not injured but were thrown off by the horse were so frightened that they lay on the ground and did not dare to move.
Zhuzhu didn't want to fight, he drank in a low voice and retreated.
He took his subordinates and ran back without looking back.
The cavalrymen behind were stunned. No one was chasing them at all.
Hong'er was on the boat and used a telescope to see that the pillars had neatly eliminated the pursuers, and she finally felt relieved. As long as she got on the boat, she would be safe.
"Brother Zhuzhu, are you okay?" Hong'er asked excitedly as she looked at Zhuzhu running up from the springboard after the last break.
"It's okay, there are no injuries at all. Let's sail the boat and let's go home." Zhu Zhu said breathlessly.
