The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 517

Occasionally, one or two gunshots were fired on Qin Jun's position, which made the Zheng Jiajun rushing up full of joy.

In order to grab the top spot, many people rushed forward, coupled with the narrow space on the top of the mountain, many people crowded together densely.

Suddenly, a dozen or so black objects flew out of the Qin army's position on the top of the mountain, crossed parabolas and landed in the dense crowd of Zheng's army.

Zheng Jiajun basically had no concept of grenades, but the British only sold them muskets, but did not sell them grenades.

Looking at the smoking things under their feet, some people realized that something was wrong, and when they were about to sound a warning, loud bangs sounded one after another, and the originally dense crowd was knocked down in an instant.

Before Zheng Jiajun could fully react, a lot of figures with guns appeared on Qin Jun's position, and their guns were all aimed at Zheng Jiajun who was lucky to survive but looked bewildered.

"Fire!" As the captain of the second lieutenant branch slashed down with his command knife, a volley of guns fired loudly, and all the soldiers of the Zheng family army standing in front of them fell backwards as blood burst from their chests, as if they had been hit in the chest by a heavy hammer.

The sudden and violent blow finally frightened Zheng Jun, who was running slowly, and turned around and ran down the mountain.

The lieutenant did not give the order to pursue, and the big fish hadn't bit the bait yet, so it is very likely that the attack will fall short.

The victory that was about to be achieved turned into a disastrous defeat in an instant. Zheng Sen saw this scene clearly through the telescope.

The smile on his face froze, and then his face was instantly livid, and he threw the telescope in his hand to the ground in a fit of anger.

"Trash! They're all trash!" Zheng Sen's roar made the soldiers behind him tremble with fear, and they picked up the binoculars on the ground with their necks curled up, not daring to say more.

However, Zheng Sen is not reckless, he quickly realized his gaffe, and now is not the time to be angry.

He calmed himself down as much as possible, thought carefully, and thought of the reason why the enemy was able to turn the tide of the battle in an instant just now, those black things that suddenly flew out were the key.

Those defeated soldiers were gathered together, Zheng Sen asked carefully about the details just now, and understood that the things that caused huge losses to his side just now should be Qin Jun's improved Zhentianlei.

Zhentianlei was originally a weapon detonated by gunpowder equipped in the Ming army. It is oval in shape. The main principle is to throw the pepper or hot pepper noodles in the middle of the sphere through the explosion of gunpowder, so as to temporarily make the enemy breathless. Smooth and temporary blindness effect.

Of course, some are also designed to spark flames.

This kind of thunder is more like a simple combination of smoke bombs and biochemical weapons of the modern army.

Because it is troublesome to make this kind of thunder, and the effect in actual combat is not very good, so it was not made much in the late Ming Dynasty.

Naturally, at Zheng Sen's age, he has never seen the real thing, but he has also seen the records in military books.

When I asked those defeated soldiers just now, I thought of this.But I can't figure out why the thunder made by Qin Jun is so powerful, and its shape is also a strange long handle.

But this is not the time to ponder these things. Although he lost his temper just now, he knows now that it is not the time to pursue responsibility.

After all, the guards are all his confidants and elites, so after some kind words to appease, the low morale was reunited.

Moreover, Zheng Sen also discovered that the enemy did not take the opportunity to chase down the defeated soldiers just now, which obviously confirmed his previous judgment.

The enemy's counterattack just now was more like a struggle before death.

Therefore, although he was defeated just now, he was even more determined.

After Zheng Sen made his judgment, the morale of the guards instantly increased a lot.

Those who can be selected into the guards are all good men in the Zheng family army, and no one is willing to suffer defeat like this.

Now when they heard that the enemy was about to run out of ammunition, they all gritted their teeth and geared up, clamoring one by one to kill all the Qin troops on the top of the mountain to avenge their revenge just now.

Seeing that the morale was available, Zheng Sen felt more at ease.

However, he did not immediately order to attack again, but ordered to rest for a while and eat some dry food before attacking.

After all, the guards had just fought another battle after marching overnight with him. Although they were all good men, they couldn't keep up physically.

When Zheng Jiajun was resting, the Qin Army's reconnaissance squadron was not idle either.

After arranging the guard posts, the rest of the people began to dig trenches and repair fortifications.

In the new army, repairing fortifications is also a must-have skill for every soldier.Moreover, all the quick response troops of the New Army and soldiers of the New First Army are equipped with a foldable engineering shovel.

Naturally, Jiang Chuan bought the engineer shovel from the mall at the base, and the price was not too expensive.

This kind of engineer was sent to the army with a shovel, and immediately received a strong welcome from top to bottom.

It is usually used to dig trenches, repair fortifications, and can also be used as a cooking utensil for barbecue and fried rice when marching in the field.It can also be used as a melee weapon in melee combat, which is absolutely easy to use.

Moreover, there are sharp serrations on the edge of the shovel, which are very useful whether it is used to chop heads or saw trees.

Jiang Chuan's goal is to equip all soldiers of the new army with an engineering shovel in the future. It is easy to carry and has multiple functions. It is definitely one of the must-have artifacts for marching and fighting.

The mountains in the south are mostly soft soil mountains. With the sharpness of engineer shovels, it is very efficient to dig trenches.

Not long after, a semicircular fortification as high as a person's chest has been dug on the left and right mountain tops.

And around the fortifications, many foxholes were dug according to the terrain.

When the fortifications had just been dug, the company behind also caught up.

The company behind the gunshots here had also heard it a long time ago, and the commander of the company rushed up and found the lieutenant captain of the reconnaissance squadron.

"Old Liang, what's the situation now?" the company commander looked down through the binoculars and asked.

The captain of the lieutenant explained the situation, and the captain of the first company laughed: "Old Liang, everyone said that your reconnaissance squadron is the most thieves, and it is true. Since you want to recruit big fish, we must be in the company."

"You keep saying that a group of stupid guys are good at fighting tough battles. Fishing is still up to us. This is a technical job. If you come to fish, you will run away early." Lao Liang laughed.

"I don't like to hear that. I'll let you see what our company is capable of today." The company commander resigned.

After the two exchanged a few words at first, they began to discuss tactics in a muttering manner. After a while, both of them had discussed it, and the company commander went down the hill with a smile.

The Zheng family's army at the foot of the mountain rested for a while, and began to recover after eating dry food. They began to gather, eager to try, and were ready to launch a second attack.

　Ask for a ticket for a reward.
