Chapter 98 Field Battle
Braving arrows and shotgun fire, the soldiers rushed to the village wall with difficulty and set up a long ladder on the wall.

But this time they were not facing traditional defense weapons such as push rods and limes, but black powder grenades with wooden handles and iron tips exclusively developed and produced by Chenjiazhuang.

The smoking grenade with a wooden handle was thrown off the wall, and a curious soldier reached out to pick it up.

Then something horrible happened.

boom!boom!boom!
An explosion that was even more powerful than the roar of the artillery on the wall happened in front of the soldiers. The soldiers who were closer were directly blown up by the explosion. The soldiers who were further away were also swept by shrapnel. They screamed and dropped their weapons. Running around on the battlefield.

A part of the long ladder was affected by the power of the grenade and broke directly from the lower part. The grappling hook on the top was still intact. The long ladder was divided into two sections, and half of it hung down close to the village wall, making it impossible to climb.

Even if the long ladder is intact, no one dares to step forward.

Because as long as there are soldiers gathered under the long ladder, weapons with smoking butts will be thrown from the wall.

The long ladder became a bargaining chip to lure the soldiers to come forward and die, so that the offensive of the officers and soldiers stopped at the bottom of the village wall.

The rush carts and wooden donkey carts were all blocked outside the city gate.

Although the officers and soldiers wrapped the ram carts and wooden donkey carts with flame-proof materials, kerosene could not help but keep burning on them. As the temperature rose, the people inside were unbearably roasted.

Moreover, the road ahead of the ram cars and wooden donkey carts was covered with incendiary bombs, and the flames were blazing. People could not step on the flames to pass, they could only freeze in place. In the end, the people inside couldn't bear the heat and ran away from the back of the cars. He came out and fled back towards the rear formation.

The ending of the tower is similar to that of the cloud car. The main material is wood, so it cannot avoid being ignited by rockets.

In the end, only the catapult caused substantial damage to the guards on the village wall.

The catapult, which is more than 200 steps away from the village wall, throws stones or cupping pots as big as a washbasin towards the village wall. As long as it hits people, it will inevitably cause death or injury.

When the giant crossbow on the wall tried to name him, he discovered that the catapult was hiding behind the ignited tower and cloud cart.

The traveling routes of those towers and cloud carts were also preset, and before they turned into torches, they were just in front of the catapults.

"It's interesting." Chen Xun praised.

The stones and pots of fire thrown by the catapult are all projectiles and are not affected by the "giant torch" in the middle.

As for Chenjiazhuang's artillery and giant crossbows, although the ammunition fired is also parabolic, at close range, it can only be regarded as a straight line.

"Lang Jun, we can't let them continue like this." Lu Hui came over to report.

Chenjiazhuang's village wall is not thick, and the guarding force is also small, so it can't withstand such a little consumption.

"It's my turn." After Chen Xun said that, he walked down the city gate tower.

Three square formations stood neatly inside the city gate tower.

The first phalanx all wore iron armor and helmets, held Miao knives, and carried three throwing spears on their backs.

Half of the second phalanx wore iron armor and helmets, held Miao knives, and carried three throwing spears on their backs.

The last phalanx all wore iron-inlaid armor, iron-inlaid helmets, and the same Miao swords and throwing spears.

"Wan Sheng!!" Chen Xun stood in front of the square formation and shouted!

"Wan Sheng!" the guards of the Miao Dao Team shouted.

"Follow me to kill the enemy!" Chen Xun gave an order, and the gate to the north was opened from the inside.

The Forbidden Army outside the door was worrying about how to break in. Unexpectedly, the north gate of Chenjiazhuang was opened by themselves, and the surrounding Forbidden Army hurriedly rushed over.

Chen Xun took the lead, holding Mo Dao, and rushed out of the doorway. What greeted him was a large wave of arrows.

Chen Xun used the Mo Dao to protect his eyes, and rushed forward regardless, until he rushed into the Forbidden Army's formation, brandished the Mo Dao and began to slash and kill.With Chen Xun in front to attract arrows, the first square formation behind successfully left the village, and then followed Chen Xun to expand the results.

The second square array! ...The third square! …

Three hundred Miao swordsmen descended from the mountain like tigers and wolves joined the sheep. From the moment they entered the battle, they began to chase and kill the imperial army.

Those soldiers were not opponents at all, and I don't know what they were affected by. When they saw the Miao swordsmen who were killing all directions, most of them knelt down and surrendered.

The archers and crossbowmen of the Forbidden Army were even more vulnerable to the Miao swordsmen who were approaching.

Chen Xun was already red-blooded. No matter whether he was an axe-hand, shield-hand or crossbowman, he could not withstand Chen Xun's sword. He cut down 50 people one after another. The blade made of fine steel actually Somewhat blunt.

Finally, he cut down an archer who had his back turned to him, and Chen Xun was swept away.

It turned out that he had already penetrated the formation of officers and soldiers attacking the city.

Looking around, in front and on the left and right were officers and soldiers running away shouting for their fathers and mothers, and behind them were the Miao Dao team who were chasing the officers and soldiers and killing them.

After inserting Mo Dao into the ground, Chen Xun pulled out a firework bomb from behind his waist and lit the fuse at the bottom.

Whoosh!Snapped!
Fireworks exploded dozens of meters high in the sky, emitting red fireworks that were dazzling in the daytime.

This was a signal flare to notify the Ma army of their actions.

Sure enough, more than ten seconds after the fireworks exploded, a group of horsemen rushed out from the Phoenix Mountain in the east, and smoke and dust were everywhere.

During the period when Chen Xun left the city, the officers and soldiers had been defeated, and the officers and soldiers in other places were still in a stalemate with the guards on the village wall.

The trebuchet in the distance was still shooting at the village wall, and there were dense guards under the trebuchet.

Chen Xun did not rush over and destroy the trebuchet recklessly. He knew that he could not withstand the fire of the giant crossbows of the officers and soldiers. If he was shot from the front, he would definitely be injured.

He was waiting for Sun Zheng's Ma Jun to create opportunities.

soon.

The strengthened cavalry army clearly appeared in the eyes of both the enemy and ourselves on the battlefield. The cavalry carried by the tall horses galloped quickly, approaching very fast.

The nearest siege officers and soldiers in the eastern section immediately rioted. Some officers tried to organize the imperial army to line up eastward, intending to use long-range weapons to stop the horse army.

But when the personal guard cavalry army was three hundred steps away from the Forbidden Army, they turned around and headed north, made a big circle, and rushed towards the position of the officers and soldiers.

The commander of the officers and soldiers used saturation tactics. He did not have many manpower left in the central position, only two. Facing the charge of 200 cavalry troops, the defensive force of these [-] men was useless.

The imperial troops guarding the catapults were urgently called back to defend the central army.

This maneuver exposed the catapult in front of Chen Xun.

"Come on! Follow me and dismantle those catapults." Chen Xun gave the order, and the Miao Dao team followed him and rushed towards the catapults.

The few guards under the catapult shot arrows in vain, and were then overwhelmed by Chen Xun's Miao Dao team.

On the other side, the cavalry army led by Sun Zheng used mounted shooting tactics. They did not have close contact with the Forbidden Army, but kept circling around the perimeter, making the commander of the army dare not send out the hundreds of people guarding the surrounding area. You have to keep sending troops back to guard.

Counting the battle on the Zhuang Wall side, the officers and soldiers were attacked from three directions at the same time, and the command system began to collapse.

The attack on the village wall gradually stopped, and some soldiers began to flee.
