Chapter 58 Landmines

On the Xinjiang Bridge, the rice sauce was detained, and the flag army threw away his helmet and gunners abandoned the cannons, holding their heads on the bridge.

The flag army, which had never seen an artillery battle, or had never been bombarded, only knew that the artillery on the opposite side of the mountainside was bombarding them, and their morale dropped sharply, and even a few small flags could not bear the horror in their hearts, and fled with them.

"How the fuck the rebels have artillery!"

Chen Mu was also scared, his rice bowl was placed on the bridge railing, and he choked in his throat very uncomfortable, but he found that the shells did not hit the bridge.

The location of the army in their rear was the target of the rebels' two artillery shells. Chen Mu turned around, the performance of the rear battalion soldiers was not much better than that of the guard army, and the shells fell into the trench and frightened dozens of people around, and the panicked shouts were endless.

This is the reason why the flag army on the bridge is running around, they don't know whether to hide forward or back!

"Running around and dying fast, hiding by the bridge railing! It's not you who shells, what do you run! Chen Mu reacted and couldn't help but feel angry, while calming the hearts of the army with a few flag officers, he grabbed the artillery soldiers who wanted to run and scolded: "Turn the muzzle of the cannon, bombard the two cannons on the mountain, and smash them!" ”

Only four or five hundred paces away, the stone bullet smashed into the defender's position in a parabola, obviously their cannon is likely to be the Ming army's old-fashioned mortar cannon, the defender's five cannons can hit the mountainside regardless of whether it is a fire or a Franco, Chen Mu yelled at his subordinates: "If you don't run the cannon, you won't necessarily be killed, and if you run Chen, you won't survive!" ”

The Franc machine was relatively light, and it was easier to turn the muzzle. The cannon is heavier, not to mention that there is a wooden frame car that can't turn, and it won't be able to adjust it for a while.

With Chen Mu's order, the first few artillery soldiers who stabilized ignited the fuses of the four Franc machines, and the four shells fired straight away in the heavy cannon sound, bombarding the enemy artillery halfway up the mountain.

Chen Mu's words are the backbone of the banner army that is holding their heads, and the military law also has the greatest deterrent effect on them. Most of the banner troops hid under the stone fence with their weapons as they said, of course, there were still a few banner soldiers who bravely dropped their weapons and turned their heads to run towards their own formation, but Chen Zongqi couldn't take care of them now.

Because on the other side of the bridge, the two sword players were galloping, and in the fields on the official road behind them, groups of chaotic troops were everywhere waving their weapons, and they rushed straight to the Xinjiang Bridge like a sea of mountains.

Li Yayuan's offensive against Xinjiang Town has begun!

"Banner army, line up to meet the enemy!"

Rumble! Rumble!

The rebels' mortar roared again, and in the earth-shattering loud noise, a flying stone dragged and smashed on the bridge, the gravel burst apart, and several villagers around were injured and turned over, wailing behind Chen Muqi's army for a long time, but the enemy army in front was getting closer and closer.

Rumble!

The cannon of his own side also blasted towards the mountainside, and the cannon made a loud noise immediately after, and it was almost visible to the naked eye that a cannon on the mountainside hundreds of paces away was smashed by a broken giant tree, and the artillery guards behind him cheered!

"Township Yongqi, push a hundred tigers to run together." Chen Mu's face was scratched by a piece of gravel from the previous stone bullet, and he wiped it indiscriminately and raised the knife on the bridge and said loudly: "Bird flag, raise the gun!" ”

A cursory look at the enemy army is boundless, not to mention that the battle formation is chaotic and you can't see the formation at all, you can only feel like a huge dark cloud rushing towards you, close to two hundred steps, Chen Mu grabbed Xiao Hachiro, who was holding the sword and was eager to try, pushed the torch and shouted to his ear: "Squat under the stone fence, let you light the fire!" ”

"Oh!"

Wei Balang has extraordinary execution of Chen Mu's words, but he looks stupid and stupid without orders, and what Chen Mu is most worried about is that this kid is always brave because he killed a widow, and he goes up to fight with the rebels.

Now, the dead boy is very well-behaved with a torch squatting under the bridge railing.

"Put! Transposition, lift! ”

The four bird-guns fired a volley, then retreated to the tail of the line, and then the four bird-guns followed, raising their guns forward in the smoke. The two columns of longbowmen in the middle of the bridge also rotated, throwing arrows forward, and the sword and shield men crouching at the front breathed heavily, and the spearmen trembled slightly.

Shao Tingda knelt on one knee in front of the formation, the big shield long card was blocked in front of him, the sound of guns behind him was repeated, the rain of arrows flying above his head, and the enemy army charging in front of him, he was roaring, "Stop this group of bird-containing monkeys!" ”

At their feet, the footsteps of most of the enemy troops on the bridge deck caused a slight vibration, which made people palpitate.

Chen Mu turned his head, and the rocket car with a hundred tigers running together slowly pushed onto the bridge deck, and the dragon red sun flag was waved in the wind.

"Put!"

Bang bang, bang!

The Bird Gun team was able to fight two rounds, and the enemy troops in tattered clothes and dancing with swords and spears had already rushed to the bridgehead and engaged in close quarters! The spearmen stabbed at the same time in no particular order under the orders of the flag officer, and the sword and card players choked the momentum with their strong bodies and wooden shields, causing the two sides to form a temporary stalemate on the bridge.

The stalemate was only for a moment.

There were too many enemies, and the surging enemy troops continued to move forward, and even Chen Mu raised his feet and raised his eyes to look forward, the chaotic troops at the bridgehead behind the enemy army were each holding their weapons high, almost pushing forward the stalemate rebels in front of them with manpower layer by layer.

Shao Tingda was no longer able to roar, holding back his purple face and carrying the big shield long card, but he still couldn't stop the momentum with his sword player, and his steps retreated one after another.

Chen Mu couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw this scene, according to this situation, it won't be long before they will be pushed off the Xinjiang Bridge, and when the enemy army will break out of the long bridge to block it, it will be like a big river rushing out of the cage, and it is only a matter of time before Xinjiang Town falls!

Turning his head, Wei Balang, who was holding a torch in his eyes, was bumping into Chen Mu's eyes, "Ignite the fire!" ”

The torches collided with the gunpowder on the edge of the railing, and the ignited fire line burned rapidly with smoke, but in a moment it entered the fire path obscured by the wood chips, and the enemy attack became more and more fierce each time.

The narrow Xinjiang Bridge blocked the road for the brigade to rush into, so that hundreds of chaotic troops scattered along the river, drawing bows and throwing them at the bridge, and at the same time, they were also counterattacked by the rain of arrows from their own Deng Zilong battalion.

But the battalion soldiers were not enough to suppress the enemy's more numerous archers, even if their bows were inferior to the Ming army, but the morale was like a rainbow and gave them extraordinary courage, and even some rebels tried to swim across the river with iron swords in their mouths!

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there were sudden explosions on the land on the other side of the bridge, and from the direction of Chen Mu, it could be clearly seen that the explosion smoke and dust were constantly exploding from the rear of the enemy formation, mixed with blood and rain stumps, and even the rebels who were charging in front of them were suffocated.

They didn't even figure out what was going on, and they saw that they could break through the Ming army's blockade on the bridge, and suddenly their backs exploded!

The next moment, the already scattered rebel formations were in disarray, the crowded front providing maximum damage to the pebbles that were being fired in all directions, and the hearts of the people were filled with fear on the periphery of several mine explosions.

Shao Tingda seized the opportunity, shouted and rushed over the hesitating enemy in front of him, raised his sword and jumped up to kill, and was about to order his sword players to charge, when suddenly Chen Mu's military order came from the rear, "The knife spearman gets out of the way!" ”

Immediately after that, a gap appeared in the military formation, and the chariot was ignited, and the two banner soldiers pushed the charge forward, facing the panicked enemy army.

The rockets are shooting at a rapid pace, with a scream and a scream straight at the enemy army who can't escape from the bridge!
