Chapter 436: Landmines Show Might

Such a crazy entry, from a distance, is like the waves of the seaside, one after another, unable to stop and stop. In the process of charging, the shouts of killing followed, and the torches that were originally held in the hands that were not lit were also lit one after another, and from a distance, they were like stars in the sky, and they could not be counted.

The mercenary battalion was finally here, and all the cold fronts, auxiliaries, and temporary auxiliaries began to assemble at an astonishing speed, and then took their equipment and weapons and began to assemble towards various locations according to the military orders they had received before.

There are more than 7,000 people, and nearly 7,000 people participated in the battle this time, in addition to the two Leng Feng companies and the first and second teams of guards around Yang Chendong, the Wolf Tooth Special Combat Team and the Ghost Sniper Team have joined the camp. Obviously, Yang Chendong wanted to give Miao Jun a one-time look, so that they would be afraid of themselves from now on, and they would not dare to make any ideas casually.

Outside the barracks, the shouts of killing are getting closer and closer. This was not only the case in the south, but also in the northwest, the base camp of the Miao army also sent 10,000 men to cooperate with the joint attack.

With 20,000 against 7,000, the advantage is already very obvious, plus it is a sneak attack, it seems that no matter how you look at it, there is no possibility of failure. Such a simple truth is naturally seen by the 20,000 Miao army, and therefore, it is extra hard to storm the mercenary barracks.

There is a good saying, if you don't die, you won't die, and it is perfect to put it on Miao Jun's body at this time.

The Miao army who was shocking did not know how powerful the opponent was to face this time, and what kind of training it was to assemble, and it did not know that just five hundred meters away from the barracks, the ground had already been buried with "advanced" mines that could kill them.

It is precisely because of all kinds of ignorance, coupled with the desire for meritorious service, that when the 20,000 Miao troops rushed in two different directions like a tide, in fact, most of them had already stepped on the death line and still did not know it.

All this was fully manifested in the ensuing war. When the overwhelming Miao army or the pseudo-Miao army (that is, the ordinary Nanming people who had no food to eat and surrendered all the way) came to the mercenary camp five hundred meters away with excitement, excitedly thinking that the fruits of victory were in front of them, the first fire lit up.

The first mine exploded, especially at night, this flash of fire was like a meteor outside the sky, and suddenly flashed with a dazzling light, and then at least three or four figures rose into the air, and then a dozen or more figures were knocked to the ground together.

Yang Chendong provided some important books and some finished mines in front of him, and the craftsmen selected from the arsenal finally studied the first batch of mines according to the gourd drawings. But after all, it didn't get its essence, and it used a lot of materials, but in fact, the power was much smaller, at least it was far from being comparable to those who stepped on mines in later generations.

But everything doesn't matter, first, the lack of power can be made up by quantity; Second, this time the impact of the Miao army is too dense, everyone is almost you following me, and I am charging next to you, under such a formation, the natural lethality is very dazzling. Where will it be like the future generations, the focus is on long-range strikes, even when it is necessary to send the army to operate, it is often the infiltration of small elites, so in the West, where the war is most intensive, often a bomb can kill more than three people at the same time, even if it is very effective, far less than now, a bomb can kill more than a dozen or even dozens of people with it.

"Boom!"

With the first fire ball flashing, then the second, the third, the fourth...

Countless clusters of light burned, and the consequence was that countless Miao soldiers were killed or seriously injured. When there were more and more such light clusters, the voices of crying fathers and mothers on the battlefield suddenly increased.

There are two rows and nearly three mines, this is still Yang Chendong considering that there are many Han people among them, and he does not want to make too many killings, otherwise, he only needs to make it denser, I am afraid that the fire will only be more, and the lethality will be greater.

Clusters of fire lit up one after another, and in the blink of an eye, all the mines in the first row were passively detonated, and soon the mines in the second row also sounded, and I don't know how many people rose into the air in despair, dying in horror and fear.

Why is this happening? Even if the mines in the first row have been triggered, and there is a full twenty meters between the two rows, why should the second row be ignited? Speaking of which, this is still caused by Miao Jun's great joy.

If it weren't for the fact that Miao Jun underestimated the mercenaries and relied on the large number of people to adopt a dense attack formation, how could there be such a consequence?

It was precisely because he had learned that the mercenaries might have extremely advanced muskets that General Zhang Zeng decided to advance with such an attack. In this way, once they encounter a musket shot from a distance, they can't kill much with such a dense camp, which can make them rush all the way forward, until they enter the barracks for hand-to-hand combat, and the balance of victory will naturally tilt in their favor.

It must be said that this may also be a way to break the musket array. Just like when the Ming Dynasty was at its peak, the musket team led by Zhu Di when he went out to the grassland encountered such an offensive, and it was indeed a lot of casualties and paid a lot of price. It was when the British Gong Zhang Fu marched into Cochin, and the musket team he brought was also severely damaged by the counterattack of the Cochin army.

With the experience of his predecessors, Miao Jun chose this way to break through, thinking about learning to break the musket array, but he didn't expect that he would indeed suffer a big loss.

It is said that it is caused by the blockage of information. If you carefully study the muskets of the mercenaries, you will know that they are called new, isn't it because their muskets can be fired continuously? Compared to the kind of flintlock pistol that needs to be loaded with gunpowder for one shot, I don't know how clever and advanced it is, even if there are no mines, there are a few powerful machine guns swinging here, I'm afraid the effect will be surprisingly good.

Later generations once said that whoever has the information will be one step closer to victory. The same is true in ancient warfare. I don't even know the details of the opponent, so if I make such a rash impact, the consequences of defeat will be doomed long ago.

Without enough attention, the formation of mountains and seas in exchange for more heavy casualties was paid. When the first firelight lit up, in fact, Miao Jun, who was rushing in the first row, wanted to stop, after all, the visual impact of that thing was too strong. But they were rushing to the front, and if they wanted to stop, they had to see if the brothers behind them agreed or not, so before they could make any moves on their feet, there was already a huge force behind them, running forward with the Miao army in front.

"Boom, boom..."

When the sound of explosions was endless, Miao Jun, who was rushing in the middle, finally felt that the momentum was wrong, but under the rapid impact, how could it be said that it could be stopped? In this way, they pushed the brothers in the front by another twenty meters, and it was not until the mines in the second row were also triggered that the army stopped rushing forward, but it was also at this time that the Miao army in the back echelon also rushed forward without hesitation and did not know anything.

"Very good, the second wave of mines has also been detonated, inform all the fighters who attacked, there is no need to go in the direction set before, there are no mines in front of us, everyone charge!" Luo Po, the commander of the Leng Feng Second Regiment, who was assigned to be in charge of this battle, took in all the situation on the battlefield with a telescope with night vision, followed by his excited shouting, followed by the sound of a loud charging horn, a squad of ten soldiers chased the military horn, and the sound spread out, and the entire battlefield could be heard very clearly.

As soon as the trumpet sounded, it represented the impact of the whole army. With the weapons in his hands that had been prepared a long time ago, the moment he heard the trumpet, the seven thousand Yang family troops rushed out like fierce tigers.

is also a charge, and the formation of the Yang family army is much more orderly.

The first echelon held bows and arrows that could shoot nearly 100 meters away, and each person had ten arrows, and the consequences of throwing them far into the air could be imagined. Each person also carries a penetrating crossbow arrow at close range, and when it reaches a certain distance, it is time to show its might.

The second echelon holds shields and short knives. It is both defensive and offensive.

The third echelon, which is also the main force of the charge, will pierce the heart of the enemy like a sharp knife with steel knives and spears.

The fourth echelon is mainly based on battlefield ambulance. Some of them carried a stretcher by two people, some held ropes to tie up prisoners, and some held large loudspeakers that could be used for propaganda, and under the protection of a hundred elite Leng Feng armed with Type 95 weapons, they walked at the end and did the finishing work.

Several echelons are advancing in an orderly manner, no matter how hot the battle is, their steps are so firm, like a humanoid tank, advancing rapidly.

On the side of the Miao army. Most of the front army was destroyed, and even the Chinese army was also seriously damaged, and it was at this time that the rear army also rushed over and collided with the front army and the Chinese army that were about to retreat.

"Fuck off, go back."

"Get out of the way, you cowards, why are you back, get out of the way, let's rush forward..."

"Fool, don't you see the god of fire showing his might? Why don't you turn back soon..."

Chaos before the battle, this is the performance of the Miao army. The powerful power of the mine made these soldiers who had no culture and did not understand what science mistook for the manifestation of the god of fire, and they were already frightened one by one.
