Chapter Seventy-Five: Borrowing a Knife

The grenade is really good to make.

Especially in the cave of the city gate seven or eight steps deep, after more than a dozen or twenty cannons wrapped in prefabricated fragments of pig iron and with a huge charge were blown up in the door hole, the Japanese who were still rushing to congestion the urn city just now did not even have a single wail.

There are no more people alive.

This is expected by Chen Mu, Chen Ye himself knows the effect of what Chen Ye did, if one or two explode in front of the formation, although the maximum lethality can be tested to be more than four steps, but the actual combat lethality is still not enough, even if the prefabricated fragments, because of the uneven force of the paper shell when bursting, only one circle of five circles of fragments can be completely exploded, and sometimes even two circles will be left to blow up and down, and the reduction sample will be wrapped on the paper shell that is blown into two.

The fragments that really exploded were amazingly lethal, and they were basically useless without armor.

Even if it is thrown into the armored enemy army, the damage caused is still considerable, not to mention the explosion of a grenade with a large charge in the formation, and the smoke of gunpowder has a great impact on the morale, eyesight and even sense of smell of the army.

Just look at Hu Liangpeng's appearance.

The city gate hole is through, like a big pipe, and you can hear the echo when you shout inside, let alone so many grenades exploding inside.

At that time, Hu Liangpeng was relying on the inner and outer layers of iron armor, carrying a big knife to grab a man outside the city gate, who knew that the knife was only half raised, only to see the light in front of him, and then a loud bang like who fired a cannon in front of him, or a thousand catties of hair.

The handle of the knife in his hand sank, and Hu Liangpeng, who was shocked and his eyes were full of stars, looked at it and saw that it was the Japanese who was still three steps away just now who hit the tip of the knife and died.

There is no need to ask what the reason is, the few blood holes in the back of this widow's head can be explained clearly, even Hu Liangpeng himself was blown to ashes, not to mention that if it weren't for this widow to block, those few iron pills would have hit his face.

"Chen Qianhu!"

Chen Mu, who was about to chase the enemy, suddenly heard everyone shouting in unison on the city tower, and the banner army listened to the order to walk beside him, and he looked up, and saw the torches shining high, and among the battlements that had been shelled stood generals wearing various official robes, some of whom he had seen and some he had not, but one of them he knew.

Counselor Wang Rulong.

I saw Wang Rulong's long arm over the female wall pointing directly in the direction of the riverbank, and said to Chen Mu under the city: "The hanging gate of the urn city has been lowered, and the thieves are blocked and are not allowed to enter the city. ”

"Thousands of households just chase after the Japanese invaders, many new warships in Xin'an are in the hands of thieves, you must grab a few, otherwise Guangdong will be in a situation where there are no ships available! Go, go! ”

Chen Mu took the telescope and looked at it for a long time during the day, although there were many big ships, but he could see clearly without the official and military standard Dafu boats, at this time Wang Rulong said, Chen Mu's mind was like a mess of paste, and he shouted with his hand: "Do you take this seriously?" ”

Wang Rulong's eyes widened, and he scolded: "How can Wang tease you if you burn your eyebrows!" Xin'an sent a letter half an hour ago, and yesterday thirty newly built warships of all sizes were burned and robbed by thieves! ”

Chen Mu stopped talking, ignored Wang Rulong, twisted his body and waved his saber to scold Long Junxiong, who was guarding him, to chase after him and tell Deng Zilong about it, and turned his head to Hu Liangpeng and Huang Dexiang, who led the family soldiers and banner army, and entrusted him: "Hu Zong, Huang Qianhu, the city gate will be entrusted to you, Chen will go to pursue the Japanese Kou!" ”

"Shiqi, you take my subordinates to chase down the enemy and capture the ship with Deng Qianhu! I'll catch up with you guys on the shore! Chen Mu ran two steps, then looked back at Shi Qi and said solemnly: "If you can stay, send them to the western sky, if you can't stay, you can grab a few big ships!" ”

At this point, Chen Mu's subordinates, including Wei Balang's artillery, all twelve units and 100 households advanced to the shore, forming a formation with Sun Ao and Wei Balang living on the south bank of the river, Deng Zilong chasing and killing the defeated Japanese in the northeast, and Shi Qi leading the army to follow closely in the north of Deng Zilong, and swept towards the Japanese invaders they defeated.

But Chen Mu didn't go there, he wanted to ask for an order, and led a dozen soldiers straight to the west, in the direction where Governor Zhang Han was.

Old man Zhang was too conspicuous, standing on the slope of the warship that Chen Mu peeked at during the daytime battle, not only Shao Tingda's troops of a hundred households, but also the people of Shunde Qianhu, the guards of honor left and right, wearing his brand-new fish scale armor, as if the entire Guangcheng South War situation was under his control.

"Chen Qianhu?" Seeing a group of soldiers rushing from afar, Shao Tingda led the flag army to hurriedly make a defensive formation to protect Zhang Han in the center, and when he got closer, he recognized that it was Chen Mu who immediately gave way to the way, and without waiting for Chen Mu to salute, Zhang Han took the lead in asking: "At the time of the great war with the robbers, Qianhu did not lead the crowd to chase the enemy, what did he do when he ran back?" ”

Zhang Han's tone was not too good.

What Chen Mu didn't know was that just half an hour ago, he led the crowd to advance, and the governor Zhang Han ordered Shunde Qianhu to lead the army to help in the battle.

In Zhang Han's opinion, the martial artist should gallop on the battlefield like Chen Mu, what kind of system does the dignified Qianhu follow behind his bad old man, where do you know that the Shunde Qianhu following behind is not to protect him but to fight timidly, even if he receives the order, he still moves forward slowly, and even the flag army escapes, which makes Zhang Han extremely angry when he looks at it behind.

In a fit of anger, Zhang Han ordered Shao Tingda, the hundred households of Xiangshan, to lead troops to take down the thousands of households in Shunde, the deputy thousand households, and more than a dozen deserters who fled to take them down, during which Zhang Han also asked, "In Xiangshan, what will you do if you have deserters?" ”

Shao Tingda only has two advantages, one is brave and daring to fight, and the other is that he seems to be reckless but is actually careful, he knows very well how much competition the Guangzhou Mansion Zhuwei Institute has for them, the meritorious hundred households from Xiangshan.

Even if the Qianhu in Shunde were tied up and kneeling on the ground, a pair of eyes still glared at this Baihu who dared to detain and even smashed him with the handle of the knife with his own hands, and then saw Shao Tingda showing a smile full of honesty and timidity, and said: "I don't know, when Brother Mu was the general flag, there were more than 20 deserters, and Brother Mu said that he missed the ...... of their first offense."

Shao Tingda paused as he spoke, looking at Shunde Qianhu like a dead dog, and then said to Zhang Han very smoothly: "I beat them all to death with a gun, and said that the first offender should leave a whole corpse." ”

You don't need a bloody knife to kill.

Shunde Qianhu and those deserters were all executed, and all the corpses were not left, Zhang Han ordered Shao Tingda to collect the banner army of Shunde Qianhu, and ordered him to lead the army to support Chen Mu to rescue the besieged Guangzhou City.

It's just that Zhang Han didn't expect the next thing, without the stalemate, siege, and confrontation he imagined, the battle of Xiangshan Qianhu was too coherent, and from his point of view, it was Xiangshan Qianhu who advanced, the Japanese retreated, the Japanese were beaten, and the Japanese were defeated.

When Chen Mu ran over, Shao Tingda had just dealt with the deserters by military law to collect the soldiers and horses, and the firing line was promoted to Shunde to try a thousand households - the incident happened suddenly, and the letter of appointment was reported by Zhang Han to the Ministry of War after the war.

"I ran back from my humble post to ask for my life from the military gate!" Chen Mu panted, his arms were wrapped in torn plackets, the heart goggles on his chest were dented by something, he looked embarrassed with sweat, but his expression was extremely resolute, and his words were categorical, and said: "Zeng Yi robbed the newly built warship of Guangzhou Mansion and hid it elsewhere, humbly asked for his life, drove the enemy army and went to Shunde overnight to board the ship and fight again with the thieves, and take back the warship of Guangzhou Mansion!" ”

"He went out of the river to Xin'an farther, the lowly land official road is easy, and he can rush to Shunde before dawn to board the ship to chase the enemy!"
