Chapter 58 Landmines
On the Xinjiang Bridge, the rice and miso were buckled all over the floor, and the bannermen threw away their helmets and gunners abandoned their cannons, and ran around on the bridge with their heads in their arms.

The Banner Army, who had never seen an artillery battle, or had never been bombarded, only knew that the artillery on the opposite side of the mountain was coming at them, and their morale plummeted immediately. Follow up and escape.

"Why the hell do the rebels have guns!"

Chen Mu was also scared. His rice bowl was placed on the bridge railing, and it was extremely uncomfortable to choke in his throat, but he found that the shells did not hit the bridge.

The location of the army behind them was the target of the rebels' two artillery bombardments.When Chen Mu turned his head, the performance of the battalion soldiers in the rear was no better than that of the guards. When the shells fell into the ditch, dozens of people around them ran away in fright, screaming in panic.

This is the reason why the flag soldiers on the bridge ran around. They didn't know whether to hide forward or back!

"Running around and dying fast, they are all hiding by the bridge railing! It's not you who were hit by the cannon, why did you run away!" Chen Mu couldn't help feeling angry when he realized it, and while stabilizing the morale of the army with several flag officers, he grabbed the cannon that wanted to run The pawn cursed: "Turn the muzzle of the cannon and blast the two cannons on the mountain, smash them!"

At a distance of only four or five hundred steps, the stone bullets hit the defenders' positions in a parabola. Obviously, their guns were probably old-fashioned mortars from the Ming army. The five defenders' guns could hit the mountainside regardless of whether they were fired or fired. On the next day, Chen Mu yelled at his subordinates: "If you don't run away, you may not be killed. If you run away, Chen will guarantee that you will not survive!"

The Francois machine is relatively light, and it is easier to turn the muzzle.The cannon is heavier, not to mention that there are wooden carts that cannot turn, and they will not be able to adjust for a while.

Following Chen Mu's order, the first few gunners who stabilized ignited the fuses of the four Francophones, and the four shells shot straight away amidst the heavy sound of the guns, bombarding the enemy guns halfway up the mountain.

Chen Mu's words are the backbone of the Banner Army, and the military law also has the greatest deterrent effect on them.Most of the Banner Army hid under the stone fence holding their weapons as promised. Of course, there were still a few Banner Army Xiangyong who dropped their weapons and turned to the main formation, but Chen Zongqi couldn't care about them now.

Because on the other side of the bridge, the two swordsmen and poker players were galloping, and behind them in the field on the official road, there were groups of chaotic troops brandishing weapons everywhere, rushing straight to the Xinjiang Bridge like mountains and seas.

Li Yayuan's offensive against Xinjiang Town has begun!

"Banner Army, line up to meet the enemy!"

boom!boom!
The mortars of the rebel army roared again, and amidst the loud noise, a flying stone smashed on the head of the bridge with a shriek. But getting closer.

boom!
Our own Franc machine guns also blasted towards the mountainside, followed by the firing cannon, which made a loud noise. It was almost visible to the naked eye that a cannon on the mountainside hundreds of steps away was smashed by a broken giant tree, and cheers came from the gunners behind. !

"Xiangyong flag, push all the tigers to run together." Chen Mu was scratched by a piece of gravel from the previous stone bullet, wiped it indiscriminately, and then raised the sword on the bridge and shouted: "Bird gun flag, raise the gun!"

From a rough look, the enemy's attack is boundless, not to mention that the battle formation is so messy that you can't see the formation at all. It can only feel like a huge black cloud rushing towards your face. Approaching [-] steps, Chen Mu grabbed the Japanese sword and was eager to try. After pushing the torch, Xiao Hachiro shouted into his ear: "Squat under the stone railing, and light the fire if you tell me!"

"Oh!"

Wei Balang has extraordinary ability to execute Chen Mu's words, but he looks stupid without orders. What Chen Mu is most worried about is that this kid will always be brave because he killed a Japanese pirate, and go up to fight the rebels.

It's all right now, the dead child squatting under the bridge railing holding a torch is very well-behaved.

"Let go! Change positions, raise the gun!"

Four bird guns fired in volley, then retreated to the rear of the team to load the powder, and then the four bird gun players followed up, raising their guns forward amidst the gunpowder smoke.The two rows of longbowmen in the middle of the bridge also took turns, throwing arrows forward, the knife and shield hand crouching in the front was breathing heavily, and the flashing long front of the spearman trembled slightly.

Shao Tingda knelt on one knee in front of the formation, with a large shield and long shield in front of him. Behind him, gunshots rang out, arrows rained over his head, and the enemy army charged in front of him. Hozen!"

Under their feet, most of the enemy's footsteps on the bridge brought a slight vibration, which made people feel palpitating.

Chen Mu turned his head, and slowly pushed the rocket car with hundreds of tigers running together onto the bridge, and the red sun flag inlaid with dragons fluttered in the wind.

"put!"

Boom, boom!

The bird gun team played two rounds, and the enemy troops in rags and rags wielding swords and spears had rushed to the bridge, and fought close to each other!Under the order of the flag officer, the spearmen stabbed at the same time in no particular order, and the swordsman relied on his strong body and wooden shield to hold back the charge, causing the two sides to form a short stalemate on the bridge.

The stalemate is only for a moment.

There are too many enemies, and the surging enemy army is constantly advancing. Even Chen Mu raised his feet and looked forward. The chaotic army at the bridgehead behind the enemy army held their weapons high, almost pushing forward layer by layer. Squeeze the stalemate rebels ahead.

Shao Tingda was already unable to roar, his face was suppressed, his face was purple, and he was carrying a large shield and long shield, but he still couldn't stop the charge with his sword player, and stepped back one after another.

Seeing this scene, Chen Mu couldn't help feeling anxious. According to this situation, they would be pushed down the Xinjiang Bridge in a short time. At that time, most of the enemy troops would rush out of the long bridge to stop them. Fall is only a matter of time!
Turning his head, Wei Balang, holding the torch eagerly, met Chen Mu's eyes, "Light it up!"

The torch collided with the gunpowder on the edge of the bridge railing, and the ignited fire wire smoked and burned quickly, but it entered the fire path covered by the wood chips in a moment, and the impact of the enemy army became more and more violent every time.

The long and narrow Xinjiang Bridge blocked the way for the brigade to rush in, so that hundreds of rebels scattered along the river, throwing their bows at the bridge, and at the same time were counterattacked by the rain of arrows from Deng Zilong's battalion.

But the battalion was not enough to suppress the enemy's larger number of archers. Even though their bows were not as good as the Ming army, their morale was like a rainbow and gave them extraordinary courage. Some rebels even tried to swim across the river with iron knives in their mouths!

"boom!"

Suddenly, there was a series of explosions on the ground on the other side of the bridge. From Chen Mu's direction, one could clearly see that the explosion smoke and dust clods continued to explode from the rear of the enemy's formation, mixed with blood and rain of stumps. The rebels were all suffocated.

They didn't figure out what was going on, and they were about to overwhelm the Ming army's block on the bridge, and suddenly their backs exploded!
The next moment, the already scattered troops became chaotic. The crowded front provided maximum damage to the pebbles that were shooting everywhere. On the periphery of several mine explosions, people were filled with fear.

Shao Tingda seized the opportunity, yelled loudly and overturned the hesitant enemy army in front of him, raised his sword and jumped up to kill, and was about to order the swordsmen under his banner to charge, when suddenly Chen Mu's military order came from behind, "Sword and Spearmen get out of the way!"

Immediately afterwards, a gap appeared in the army formation, and the Hundred Tigers Benz car was ignited, and the two flag soldiers charged forward, facing the panicked enemy.

The rockets shot indiscriminately at high speed, and rushed straight towards the enemy troops on the bridge who had no time to escape with screams!
