Chapter 659: Showing Power

"Let the ladder team prepare. After the grenadiers throw the grenades, they will immediately seize the city wall and occupy the city gate.��

The grenadiers were all in place, and Chang Wei gave the order.

Lü Chang replied, "Yes," and passed the order on.

The fifty ladder teams were soon ready.

At this moment, Chang Wei gave the order to throw grenades.

"Bang, bang, bang..." Three gunshots sounded, which was the order to the grenadiers.

The purpose was to let the grenadiers throw the grenades at the same time, so as to eliminate the Qi soldiers on the city wall by surprise.

Hearing the gunshots, the grenadiers picked up the grenades, unscrewed the back cover, pulled the fuse, and threw the grenades onto the city wall at the same time.

After throwing the first one, they immediately picked up the second grenade and threw it out as well.

Then came the third and fourth.

For a while, the grenades flew towards the wall of the dock like locusts.

Seeing short stick-like things flying over, the Qi soldiers on the city wall The soldiers of Qi State showed stunned expressions, they didn't know what it was.

Because it seemed that there was no danger, they didn't dodge, including Xie Bi, who was also at a loss.

But at this moment, the first wave of grenades flew over and fell on the city wall.

"Boom boom boom..." In an instant, the line of the city wall turned into a sea of ​​fire.

In the frequent explosions like firecrackers, the soldiers of Qi State were lifted up by the air waves and fell down the city with screams.

The sudden explosion frightened the soldiers of Qi State for a while, but then the second wave of grenades arrived.

Then came the third wave, the fourth wave.

The explosions came one after another, and the grenades almost covered every corner of the city wall.

The flames covered the bodies of the soldiers of Qi State, and the explosions covered their screams.

In just a few minutes, all the twelve grenades in the basket of the grenadiers were thrown over.

The explosion stopped, and there was a dead silence on the city wall.

"Kill! "Just then, the Yanzhou soldiers carrying the ladders crossed the tunnel.

They leaned the ladders against the wall of the fort, and the Yanzhou soldiers behind them held the guns in one hand and the ladders in the other, and climbed the wall very skillfully.

In addition to the five kilometers on weekdays, climbing the ladders is also a subject they must train every day.

It only takes them ten seconds to climb the seven or eight-meter-high ladders.

The first soldier climbed up the wall and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.

At this moment, there was no living person on the entire wall, and there were broken limbs everywhere, and the ground was stained red with blood.

But he was only stunned for a moment, and then he immediately stepped aside to let the soldiers behind him catch up.

After experiencing the battle of Jinzhou and the brutal war between Ningjindusi and Beidi, he was already a qualified veteran.

As more and more Yanzhou soldiers climbed up the wall, the wall was quickly occupied.

Because the grenadiers' attack came too suddenly and had great lethality.

The Qi soldiers in the fort had no time to react at all.

When the general tried to lead the soldiers to climb the city wall, it was too late.

The Yanzhou soldiers lined up in a tight horizontal line along the city wall.

He pulled the trigger facing the Qi soldiers who were rushing over.

"Bang, bang, bang..." The gunshots rang out, and a group of Qi soldiers near the city wall fell down.

Under the cover of the Yanzhou soldiers on the city wall, a lieutenant led his soldiers down the steps and attacked the city gate.

At this time, hundreds of Qi soldiers were hiding in the doorway.

Seeing the Yanzhou soldiers coming, they hid deeper in the doorway, and at the same time drew their swords and prepared to fight with the Yanzhou soldiers in close combat the moment they entered the doorway.

The lieutenant discovered the intention of these Qi soldiers, and when he was about to reach the doorway, he shouted to the soldiers: "Grenade. "

The soldier behind him untied the grenade from his belt, pulled out the fuse, and threw it towards the door.

"Boom boom boom..."

A burst of explosions sounded, and screams immediately rang out from the doorway.

At this time, the Yanzhou soldiers rushed over, and a group of Qi soldiers fell to the ground.

There were still a few soldiers who were not dead, holding their broken legs and screaming.

The captain just glanced at them indifferently, and immediately asked the soldiers to open the city gate.

"Creaky." The door of the city gate slowly opened to both sides.

At this time, shouts and screams that broke through the sky rang out outside the city.

The Yanzhou soldiers rushed to the city gate from all directions with guns.

After capturing the city gate, the captain did not stop, he continued to lead the soldiers to kill into the city.

As he went deeper, he shouted "Surrender and you won't be killed. "

The soldiers behind him shouted in unison.

The voices of the crowd were heard far away.

Through the Qi soldiers captured in Pingyuan City last time, they learned that there were two types of soldiers in the Qi army.

One type was naturally the core children of the wealthy families and their fellow clansmen.

The Zhang family, the first wealthy family in Yan County, was destroyed. Among them, Zhang Qian, Zhang Kang, Zhang Rang and others were the core children.

In addition to these core children, there are nearly 20,000 Zhang clansmen.

These Zhang clansmen benefited from the Zhang family and only recognized the head of the family, not the others. Recognize the imperial court.

This is also one of the reasons why the Zhang family can control Yan County.

At that time, if they were not killed by the royal army, they would not surrender at all.

The second part of the soldiers is naturally composed of ordinary people who were recruited.

Of course, there are some who are confused and have their hearts on the nobles and powerful families.

But most soldiers' will to resist is not so firm.

Based on this judgment, they will not hold back against the Qi soldiers who resist them.

Han Bi and many Qi generals were blown to death on the city wall.

The generals in the city were too low-ranking to gather the whole army, so they could only lead their soldiers to resist or flee.

Of course, many soldiers knelt on the ground and raised their hands.

Because of the grenades, the Yanzhou soldiers who entered the city were much bolder.

As long as they found the Qi soldiers hiding in the corners and trying to fight with them, they would throw grenades at them.

With a burst of explosions, these Qi soldiers were blown into meat paste.

After seeing the new firearms in the hands of the Yanzhou soldiers, the Qi soldiers, who had no leader, quickly fell to the bottom of their fighting spirit.

Wherever the Yanzhou soldiers went, the surrendered Qi soldiers knelt down.

As more Yanzhou soldiers entered Wubao, the Qi soldiers were even more powerless to resist.

In the evening, the stubborn Qi soldiers were all eliminated, and Chang Wei and Lu Chang strode into the fort.

"It's exactly the evening." Lu Chang laughed for a while, this grenade is really powerful. "

Chang Wei's mouth curled up, he was very proud of the new tactics he invented.

Although the power of mortar shells is much greater than that of grenades.

But there is no doubt that grenades can use tunnels to bombard the enemy unexpectedly.

However, this does not mean that mortars have no effect from now on.

If the enemy is stationed on the mountain, where tunnels cannot be dug, mortars must be relied on.

However, the south of Jinhe is basically flat, and his new tactics are still very useful.

Thinking of this, he said to the guards around him: "Pass on this general's order, let Qinshan and Guantong dig tunnels at night, and take down the other two docks tomorrow morning."
