Chapter 1319 Terrible

In fact, Ying Ming should really thank the murderer who stabbed Geng Qi to death.

The result of the city's vigilance that night made Ying Ming more alarmed when he received the report.

A rebellion was brewing. Because Muye soldiers searched the streets for the murderer in the middle of the night, those who intended to participate in the rebellion thought that the party was leaking the news, so they couldn't hold back and jumped out.

These people have been connected in series, and almost everyone in the family has one or more bows. After the battle outside the city, the Ming army generally relaxes. Because people tend to be independent and retaliate against the nobles after the plague, the Ming army has little defense against the people in the city.

But obviously the people who came back from outside the city after the battle did not give up. They set out to win over the people, order weapons, and intend to hide in the dark and launch an attack when the Ming army was slack and exhausted.

The most frightening thing about the battle in the city is that the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light.

Once they pop up, it's no longer scary.

Fortunately, even though the two commanders led the fleet to leave, there were still Muye soldiers recruited by Li Yuxi in the city.

It's just that they are wary of a killer, not the whole street.

But as long as you are vigilant, if you fight some stragglers in the army, even if you can't attack the courtyard, you can retreat and block the streets.

The bishop who was captured by Lao Qiao and escorted Ying Ming was so desperate that he gave up resistance and admitted that he was the mastermind of the rebellion, but his confession to his party members was not smooth, which is understandable.

It is just like the contempt mentality of the Ming people for the different positions of ordinary people. It is difficult for me to think highly of you if you surrender without a fight. If you resist to the end, I respect you but have to give you a knife.

I can understand, Yingming can understand that the bishop does not want those who planned the rebellion with him to be found out, but understanding does not mean that he can accept it.

At first, it was Xin’an Square, where two armored chiefs and their soldiers were ambushed and retreated from the street; then in Yongning Square, four people fled with their bows in hand and were intercepted by a armored chief, causing chaos among the residents; finally, Yonghe Square When searching a house, the owner just opened the door and shot the armor chief with a pistol, and then the two people in the house and the servants next door all shot with bows, and some villagers helped the guards start a chaotic battle with bows.

When the battle between Yonghefang and Yongningfang was initially decided, there were even Muye soldiers who were patrolling in two surrounding fangs, and when they went to reinforce Xin'anfang, they followed each other with bows, and then suddenly turned their backs.

In the end, the rebels gathered in Xin'anfang, and the Muye army also gathered in Xin'anfang. Under Yingming's deployment, more troops swept through all the neighborhoods like laying carpets to garrison them, ordered the residents not to come in and out, and confiscated the bows and knives of the whole city.

Since there are a large number of small buildings built by merchants in Xin'anfang in the past ten years, most of which are stone buildings, most of the merchants have built warehouses and courtyard walls after they became rich, making this place the easiest place for rebels to defend. After rushing outside a few times but couldn't get out, he simply stuck to it with one heart, thinking that he could guard it until the end of time.

However, this situation was quickly reversed after Ying Ming's Beiyang Banner Army joined.

They have some of the ordnance of the regular army of the Eastern Army led by the two general officers in their hands.

The sudden situation that the commander-in-chief thinks refers to the fact that the army assembled under the order of the London royal family is attacking the city of Puli according to the intelligence. When the Ministry of Thousand Households was stationed in Puli, no one would think so.

When the two commanders did not leave, there were more Ming soldiers than ordinary people in the city, and no one would rebel at all.

Even before they came, the Muye Army could bring enough shock to the city. Even if someone wanted to rebel, he had to plan and plan secretly, at least not jumping out directly.

Even this time, if they hadn't been intimidated by the Ming army's search of the city, they wouldn't have jumped out foolishly.

Rebellion is not for suicide, but for success. In this case, rebellion is suicide.

Even those rebels hiding in Xin'anfang saw that the Muye soldiers surrounded the whole street, and the torches illuminated the street as bright as day, and their shouting tone was not so rampant. Promised to let them go, they were willing to get out of town now.

This was impossible to accept, because Ying Ming sent people to transport two carts of grenades.

It was not the first time Wei Si had seen grenades, but this was indeed the first time he had seen so many grenades. The 48 small wooden boxes on the two carriages were arranged in double layers. A small oval grenade with a wooden handle and a lead wire.

This thing was very novel to Wei Si. He watched the dismounted cavalry skillfully open the wooden box, each lifted the canvas belt and hung it on the copper buckle of the carrying belt around his waist, took out the lighter to find the commander of the Muye soldier, and briefly ordered the task Form an army formation and enter the formation.

The Muye soldiers lack experience in using such weapons, but their Miao soldiers have an advantage in fighting with cold weapons. It is actually difficult for bows and arrows to cause fatal damage to them, but they are too close after all.

What if among these people there is the kind of archer who is as powerful as the mountains and the world?
As soon as the Makino army entered the street, they were immediately shot by archers from both sides, but under the protection of the shields, only the sound of doodling could be heard, and then the infantry advanced under the courtyard wall. , Their actions were almost the same, they took out the grenade and ignited it with the lighter, and after a few breaths, they threw it towards the window and the yard.

In an instant, Wei Si could see clearly that there was an explosion on the ground floor of the three-story building without a courtyard on the right, and the flames illuminated the windows extremely brightly, leaving only gunpowder smoke and screams from inside the house, followed by the sound of the Beiyang army. Under the order, the chief armor led his sword and shield to forcibly slam into the gate, and the rest jumped in from the window with their crossbows and short darts in their hands, and started a close fight.

Deeper in the streets and alleys, someone laid out a scribbled formation to kill. Before the feather arrow flew to the front, he was blown up by two grenades, crying for his mother. For soldiers who lacked protection, an explosion nearby The grenade stuffed with iron beads was directly blown to death, thanks to Lord Long En.

What makes people uncomfortable is that it is really difficult for this thing to blow up people directly.

This thing has a large amount of charge and a lot of iron beads, but no matter how large the charge is, it is completely idiotic to expect black powder grenades to kill people. It is impossible to kill ten people by blowing them up. They all lie on the ground and call their mothers. .

However, the grenade made by Changsheng is already much better. Compared with the earlier version, the number of iron beads is much less. In order to avoid bombing and throwing soldiers, the internal cast iron bead ring plate has been made as large as possible to reduce the attack radius, so it is not counted. too painful.

The early Nanyangwei grenades were stuffed with small iron beads, and it was really painful to be hit by those things.

Wei Si's focus is not on this at all, the light of the grenade explosion has long since faded in his eyes, but it seems to remain in his mind forever.

During the process of the Beiyang Army clearing out the traitors, he kept thinking about something.

He was wondering why the grenade needs to be ignited, and he was wondering if there was thunder silver in the grenade, would there be no need to ignite it.

But it was impossible for Lei Yin to put it in, otherwise the groom would have been blown up before it was transported to the battlefield.

So what if you separate the nitric silver and alcohol in the grenade?Use glass, throw it out and it shatters, or make a mine, step on it and the glass shatters and the two things mix together?
Wei Si looked up at the moon and sighed deeply. He felt that he couldn't go on like this... sooner or later he would lose his ass if he went on like this.

This is terrible. When the chaos in the city is over, he will have to ask the general for two days off, so he should go to the brothel, and go to the brothel to suppress the panic.
