【Chapter 723】Crazy grenade

(0723) A large number of arrows landed accurately on the wall of Yangguan Fort and were nailed directly into the city wall. It's a pity that because the soldiers of the white-clothed army are hiding behind the city wall and shooting, the arrows of the Dajin army have almost no effect on the real surname. On the contrary, while they were shooting arrows, bullets from the front quickly knocked them off their horses.

At such a close distance, the soldiers of the white-clothed army, even with their eyes closed, could hit the Jianyu in front. Whether it is a hit man or a war horse. This made the gun and bullet hit rate of the white army reach an alarming level in a short period of time. Of the ten bullets fired, almost nine hit the target. The rest of the shot can only be said to be too bad luck.

However, all this is already a good start for Abatai. At least, he had already touched the walls of Yangguan Fort. If he takes down Yangguan Fort, maybe the position of the owner of the white flag will be expected. Well, that's for sure!

Sure enough, a considerable number of Jianyu cavalry approached the walls of Yangguan Fort. The scimitars in their hands can already cut directly into the top of the city wall. Their horse's head was already able to hit the walls sideways. In fact, under the side impact of the war horse, the city wall of Yangguan Fort did shake significantly. Some places that were not strong enough were hit by the side of the Jianyu cavalry at high speed, and suddenly there was a boom, dust flew, and the entire wall collapsed.

The fighting will of the Jianyu cavalry is indeed quite strong. They didn't care about the casualties of their comrades, and went straight through the gap that had been knocked open, and marched forward until they were killed. If they weren't killed, they would desperately rush inside, using their flesh and blood to open a passage alive, so that their companions behind could be killed smoothly.

At this time, the rate of fire of the Han-style rifle was completely unable to meet the needs. After all, the Han-style rifle is a manual rifle, and it takes a lot of time to pull the bolt and reload the bullet in the middle, and it cannot contain the brave attack of the Jianyu cavalry. What's more, the 8 mm caliber rifle bullet seems to have insufficient pause effect, even if the Jianlu cavalry is killed, it is still under the effect of the habitual surname, and continues to ram forward.

Xu Xingxia could clearly see from the telescope that in many sections, the cavalry of Jianyu had begun to hit the city wall fiercely. They certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to hit the walls directly with the horse's head, but the side of the warhorse. Such an impact is still very powerful. The weight of the war horse, coupled with its incredible speed, is simply not enough for an ordinary wall. The city wall of Yangguan Fort does not have such a thing as reinforced concrete.

In fact, the walls of many parts of Yangguan Fort are already crumbling, and they can't withstand such an impact at all, and the sound of the wall collapsing continues. Sometimes, a large part of the city wall collapses, stirring up dust. The Jianyu cavalry came in in the dust without fear of death. The white-clothed soldiers, who were caught off guard, had to face the bows and arrows of the Jianyu cavalry at close range, and the casualty count began to climb.

"Grenades!"

In the confusion, I don't know who shouted.

The soldiers of the chassars put down their Han-style rifles one after another and prepared grenades.

One of the advantages of throwing grenades is that you don't need to show your body, which can effectively avoid the bows and arrows of the cavalry. Of course, the biggest benefit of grenades is that they kill in a large area. If a grenade goes down, anything within a radius of three feet will be harmed. If the human body is within this range, it must be the result of either death or injury. In the chaos, grenades were thrown one after another.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The continuous sound of explosions, one after another, was deafening.

Sure enough, the power of the grenade was extraordinary. After each explosion, the cavalry fell in pieces. Along with the cavalry of the Jianyu, there were also large areas of the city walls. The explosion of the grenade was too powerful, and the already broken city wall naturally couldn't stand it. Fortunately, the white-clad soldiers, realizing their mistake, hurriedly threw the grenade outside the city wall.

Due to the passage opened by the companions in front, it was generally relatively narrow and could not accommodate too many cavalry passages. Therefore, in front of the walls of Yangguan Fort, a large number of Jianyu cavalry gathered. They are like a crowd queuing up to enter the cinema, in addition to passively waiting, they are still passively waiting. Someone looked at the sky bored. Unexpectedly, in the sky, grenades would fall one by one.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The loud sound of grenade explosions, one after another.

To Xu Xingxia, who was not far from the battlefield, it sounded like a pot of porridge in front.

The denser the ranks of the cavalry, the more effective the grenades will be. Some of the white-clad soldiers even threw the most ferocious cluster grenades. Tie five or six grenades together and throw them out, not to mention the power, it's devastating. After each explosion, the scene was a mess. A large number of fallen war horses, a large number of killed and wounded personnel, as well as broken weapons and equipment, and torn flags, all fully explain that this kind of thing called a grenade cannot be provoked.

However, the number of cavalry was indeed too much. The line they crowded in front of the city walls was too dense and too airtight. It makes them feel very uncomfortable. They desperately need a little more space. They also don't know how to dodge grenade explosions like this. Conversely, after each explosion, the area cleared by the grenades was quickly filled with more cavalry. At this time, the Jianyu cavalry was no longer queuing up to enter Yangguan Fort, but lining up to send them to death. Of course, they themselves are not aware of it.

Even the high-level leaders of the Dajin Kingdom in the back did not realize it. Because, from their point of view, what they can see is still dense human heads. The ripples caused by the grenade explosion were soon drowned out by more heads. They couldn't see anything but the black pressed human head. Only after the explosion of a large number of grenades and the number of cavalry were rapidly reduced, the high-level officials of the Dajin Kingdom could realize that something was wrong.

Abatai himself realized that something was wrong. The grenade was very powerful and caused great casualties to the Daikin army. That's for sure. Moreover, the sound of the grenade explosion can also make some of the war horses feel a strong uneasiness, or even loss of control. Abatai's own war horse, at the beginning, almost lost control. If it weren't for his quick enough reaction, he would have been overturned directly from the horse by his own warhorse.

However, his position, behind the cavalry of the Dajin Army, it was impossible for him to give orders. The gunfire at the scene was so deafening that you couldn't hear it even if you were talking close to your ear. Besides, even if you can give orders, it's useless. In such a narrow area, with so many cavalry concentrated, there is no time to be flexible and mobile!

The soldiers of the White Army fully satisfied the ** that the Dajin Army likes to be abused. They frantically threw out one grenade after another, with no intention of using them sparingly. As long as you have enough arm strength, you can even throw dozens of grenades in one go. The damage caused by such a dense number of grenades to the Jianyu cavalry was quite large, and the passage that was originally opened by the Jianyu cavalry was all blocked.

"What's going on?"

"What's going on?"

The high-level leaders of the Dajin Army were collectively dumbfounded again.

At this time, they finally realized that something was wrong. Why did the number of cavalry of the Dajin Army decrease in a hurry? The originally dense team now looks a lot more sparse. Through the smoke of gunpowder that drifted from time to time, their eyes could already directly see the walls of Yangguan Fort. They also saw the flames, as well as the dynamics of the cavalry after the firelight broke out. That's just being slaughtered, and I don't have the ability to resist at all.

Amin, Tang Gu, Tabai and the others all looked at each other, shocked in their hearts. Again, they felt that their scalp felt numb. Damn, the white-clad army has such a murderous weapon in addition to muskets? It feels like every time there is an explosion, there are pieces of Jianyu cavalry about to fall! It's so brutal, it's so brutal.

"Withdraw!"

"Order Abatai to withdraw!"

Seeing that this was not good, Nurhachi hurriedly ordered the troops to withdraw.

At this time, Abatai in front of him was already red-eyed and personally rushed forward with his troops. He was indeed a very brave warrior, and he would not retreat to death. As a result, a barrage of grenades exploded around him. Clusters of firelight kept bursting out. All the high-level officials of the Dajin Kingdom can clearly see that Abatai, his war horse, and the people around him were all blown up and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Then, more fires erupted, obscuring everything.

"Ah......h

"Don't ......"

"How can you ......?"

The high-level of Dajin Kingdom suddenly felt a burst of pathos.

They simply couldn't afford such a tragic outcome.

Abatai is finished. Such a fierce fire, such a violent sound, and sweeping back and forth repeatedly, even if Abatai has a hundred lives, even if Abatai is more courageous than Mang Gurtai, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop it. Without Abatai's command, the other Jianyu cavalry was afraid that it would be even more chaotic and panicked. They are in the firearms of the white-clothed army, and the casualties will be even greater.

"Withdraw!"

"Amin!"

"Organize a retreat!"

Nurhachi exclaimed bitterly.

He did not have time to grieve over Abatai's death.

He must retreat all the remaining cavalry of the Dajin Army.

If they continue to be left under the musket fire of the white-clad army, they will be absolutely wiped out. The blue flag has been crippled, and the army has basically been wiped out. If the white flag and the red flag are also disabled, the armed forces of the Dajin Army will lose at least more than half. Manchurian Eight Banners, if there are no Three Banners, what qualifications does he have to fight against the White Army?
