Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 182

When the explosion happened, everyone was stunned.Whether it was the Tartars or the Tuan Ding, they were stunned on the battlefield.

Such a huge sound, like thunder, even louder than thunder, just this sound makes people tremble with fright.

And the central area of ​​the explosion was even more miserable, some corpses didn't even have whole corpses.Broken arms and legs were all over the ground, and there was even a scorched smell, and bursts of green smoke were still rising from the stumps.On the periphery of the explosion, countless people fell to the ground, with various foreign objects stuck in their bodies, and some people were still rolling on the ground, crying in pain.

In order to pursue the lethality of the explosion, in addition to the granular gunpowder in the explosive bag, many pieces of porcelain and iron were stuffed in the explosive bag.After these things explode, they will have a very high speed, quickly penetrate the body and cause casualties.

The power of the explosion also involved the first battalion. Because of the short distance, the first battalion was also attacked by foreign objects in the explosive package.Fortunately, there were shields in the first row, which blocked part of the attacks.However, due to the great power of the explosion, many shields were shattered and blown away on the spot, and the shield-bearing grenadiers and some pikemen in the front row suffered heavy losses one after another.

Seeing such a scene, Chen Chen was also stunned. He didn't expect the explosive package to be so powerful.If he had known this earlier, he could just get a few trebuchets, why use grenadiers?As a result, because the throwing distance of the grenadier was too short, it caused huge casualties among its own people. It was really an own goal.

At this moment, Chen Chen was overwhelmed by the power of the explosives, and made up his mind that he must make more explosives in larger quantities in the future, so that he could defeat the enemy just by attacking with explosives.It's just that Chen Chen didn't consider that if this was the case, the Tatars would also grow and improve, and they couldn't always win with just one attack.

In fact, the power of the bomb's explosive package is not great, but its momentum is definitely huge.The huge sound and the billowing black smoke made people horrified and appalled.

"Ah! This, this is sorcery! The gangsters have used sorcery!" A superstitious green battalion soldier shouted.

"The gangsters have red cannons! One cannon will ruin ten miles!" A green battalion soldier who had seen the power of red cannons also shouted.

Of course, more people are still ignorant, their ears are buzzing, their eyes are dazzled by the smoke, and their hearts are completely discouraged.

"Ah! We're defeated, we're defeated, run away!" A green battalion soldier shouted, dropped his weapon and turned around to run away.

The behavior of this green battalion soldier became the mainstream in an instant, and countless people followed his behavior, turned their heads and crowded to escape, fleeing from this place that made them extremely fearful.For a time, countless people were trampled on.The living become the wounded, and the wounded become the dead.

At this time, the regiment members of the first battalion were staring blankly with their mouths wide open. Some of them were still wet in their crotches, and their buttocks were sticky and hot.Some even sat down on the ground, exhausted and unable to get up again.

Not only the newcomers, but the veterans were also very surprised.They have seen Cannon before, but they have never seen such a battle!
When the Tartars turned their heads and fled, the regiments were still watching, and then some clever officers shouted.

"The Tartars are gone, the Tartars are gone!"

"The Tartars are gone, the Tartars are gone!"

Chen Chen also came to his senses, and hastily issued an order to pursue him.

The chasing troops were the old brigades in the first few rows, and the rookie brigade in the back stayed where they were for the time being. They were shocked by the explosion and temporarily lost their combat capabilities.

In the end, the results of this battle were also impressive. Six hundred were killed and more than two thousand enemies were captured. The generals could only flee back to Fucheng with a team of less than 300 people.

This battle also shocked the people of Yingshang County.When the explosion sounded, people in the county heard it too.The loud voice made everyone fearful, and after learning that the First Battalion had won in the end, the people in Yingshang County changed their previous attitudes, turned to support the First Battalion, and joined the regiment enthusiastically.In their hearts, a battalion with such a powerful weapon is absolutely incomparably powerful.

Taking advantage of this shareholder wind, Chen Chen led his troops and continued towards Fucheng.Because of the general's escape, people in Fuyang, the prefecture city, began to panic.

With an army of more than ten thousand and amazingly powerful weapons, this group of bandits is in a difficult situation.After repeated comparisons several times, the officials of Fucheng felt that Fucheng was difficult to defend, and they all abandoned the city.The northern religious bandits and the Yuyuan army are getting louder and louder, and the southern side is also starting to make trouble. This Yingzhou Mansion is really dangerous.And besides the [-] Green Battalion soldiers sent out, there are less than [-] troops left in Fucheng.Even if you want to defend the city, you have no strength.

After these officials fled with their families, Chen Chen led the army and embraced Fuyang, the prefectural city, in his arms with the momentum of a great victory.

After Fuyang, the entire Yingzhou Mansion had no more resistance, so in order to pursue a faster reunion with the Second Battalion, Chen Chen began to divide his troops.

Taihe County, Mengcheng County, and then Bozhou County were successively captured by the First Battalion.

After capturing the entire mansion, Chen Chen continued to expand his army, with [-] old men as the backbone, and expanded his force to [-] in one fell swoop.It's just that it is easy to expand the army, but its combat effectiveness has not increased but decreased.In order to expand the army this time, Chen Chen also broke up a brigade that had been kept intact, and directly expanded it into a column.Without rigorous military training, the combat capability of this column is not as good as that of the original brigade.Fortunately, during the siege along the way, the first battalion captured a lot of food, and there was enough food for the expansion of the army, but there was still a shortage of weapons.

The first brigade was expanded into the first column, and the original brigade leader Wang Dayou naturally became the new column leader.Chen Chen then stationed the first column in Fuyang, the prefectural city. After instructing Wang Dayou to train the army strictly, he personally led the army to Bozhou County.

Bozhou was very famous 300 years ago. In 1355 AD, Liu Futong of the White Lotus Sect supported Han Lin'er to proclaim himself emperor in Bozhou, established the Han and Song regimes, and used Bozhou as the capital to resist the million-strong army of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.At that time, Bozhou was the center of anti-Yuan forces in the world.

Time passed, and 300 years later, foreign races invaded again, and China was almost on the verge of falling. This is the time when the good man of China vowed to fight against Tartars to defend the country.

After getting Bozhou, the forces of the first battalion were connected with the second battalion.Not long ago, the Second Battalion captured Shangqiu, the city of Guide Mansion, and took control of the whole territory of Guide Mansion.

In this way, the first battalion and the second battalion can be united, and the power can be more than doubled in an instant.The second battalion can also solve part of Chen Chen's headache with weapons.

The joining forces of the first battalion and the second battalion greatly inspired the anti-Tartar forces in the surrounding areas, and made the anti-Tartar struggle more and more intense.
