Chapter 37 The Grenadier's First Show

One hundred and twenty musketeers were divided into four groups, each with thirty people rushing in from the gate of the cottage that was blown open by the grenadiers, and constantly shooting at the bandits who rushed out.

Wherever there are more people, shoot wherever you go.

A roulette of guns passed, and the bandits fell down.

After each group is shot, they quickly retreat, and the next group is immediately pushed up.

Four groups took turns to shoot. Although they were just old antique flintlock rifles, they were enough to ensure the density and continuity of firepower.

In addition to the dense firepower of these four groups of musketeers, the remaining ten musketeers protected twenty grenadiers to follow behind. When they saw the bandits rushing over, a black bomb or lead bomb flew over immediately.

The bombs thrown by the grenadiers were all cast of pig iron, and prefabricated fragments were also drawn on them. Although the lethality is not as large as grenades and grenades of later generations, they should not be underestimated.

After the fuse left outside the bomb was lit by the tall and strong grenade with the fire snatch in his hand, he saw the position to throw, pinched the time and threw it out vigorously. When it landed in the crowd, it just exploded, and it didn't give the enemy time to react at all.

The cast iron shell instantly cracked into several pieces and splashed everywhere, immediately causing a scream. There were additions such as iron nails and caltrops in the bomb, and the flying everywhere also brought terrifying damage.

In addition to these, after the bomb explodes, it can emit poisonous smoke that can cause people to cough, red eyes, tears, and other discomfort symptoms, and the smoke rising can also block the enemy's vision.

Such a small bomb is simply a combination of grenades and poisonous gas bombs. Although they can only be considered version 1.0, the killing and deterrent effects brought by this opponent's weapons are still very obvious when they are more primitive.

Not to mention that in addition to this two-in-one version, there are two other two that have increased the dosage and added combustible materials to help ignite as incendiary bombs.

Based on the absolute advantage of combat equipment, combat level and unparalleled military discipline, Li Xu's troops basically pushed the whole way, fighting wherever there were more people and blowing wherever there were. In just half a stick of incense, the entire Wild Boar Ridge Mountain Courtyard was already full of corpses, and piles of corpses were distributed regularly from the front yard to the back yard.

The second head of the boss who was pushed to the pot was taken by Li Zicheng when he saw the piles of brothers in front of him falling down like mowed grass. He instantly burst into pieces. He didn't know the fact that he was pushed to be a scapegoat by the boss. Although his legs were weak, he turned around and ran back desperately.

While running, he cursed in his heart. These imperial guards are too idle. They come to attack our small village with no need to pay attention to us, right?

Based on his understanding of the boss, the boss must have already strided in the jungle in the back mountain, struggling toward the next stop of hope.

He must also follow the footsteps of the boss as soon as possible.

Stay at home and don’t be afraid of having no brothers.

If you are a brother, you must know how to be cannon fodder for your elder brother.

Just after running two steps, four or five black iron shells fell at his feet.

After a few loud bangs, white smoke rose up.

With the explosion point as the center, a blood-colored chrysanthemum with the human body as its petals appeared on the spot.

The second head of the army and the dozen or so leaders and confidants around him were all suddenly gone. Everyone looked frightened, covered in blood, and their faces were covered in iron nails and iron pieces. They looked uneasy at all.

Faced with the sudden attack, the boss ran away immediately, and the second boss and several other bosses died immediately. These bandits who could only bully the common people on weekdays did not organize any effective resistance at all. Even no one dared to raise weapons to resist symbolically was killed or injured.

The rest either threw away the weapon and knelt on the ground, trembling and begging for mercy, or ran away to the back mountain, trying to escape with a name.

Moreover, as long as the musketeers see people standing, they still hold weapons in their hands, no matter whether you are scared and forgot to throw away the weapons, or they are suddenly stuffed into their hands by others, or you are just holding a piece of meat in your hand and just shooting them out.

Under such an indiscriminate blow, no one can develop the slightest courage.

Seeing that the bandits were completely defeated, the musketeers immediately changed the tactics of queuing up to shooting freely.

A group and grenadiers were left to clear out the remaining enemies in the mountain village and block the bandits' money, food and property. The other three groups began to pursue the fleeing bandits with ten people as combat teams.

The several bandit prisoners who led the way before saw the devastating battle process of the musketeers, all of them were shocked and their legs were weak. They were afraid that they would be glad that they had joined late and had not had any lives on their hands. Otherwise, there would be another body lying in the yard today.

The two musketeers squad leader led the team was responsible for pursuing the remaining enemies, and the other was responsible for tying up the prisoners and clearing the money, grain and property of the parcel.

The bandits who put down their weapons and knelt down and begged for mercy were pointed at the muzzle soldiers and pulled out their belts and tied them to each other.

Those who wanted to make contributions and survive quickly disclosed the place where Li Hongji hid money and food, and some even offered the place where several leaders hid their private money.

The women who were snatched were trembling and squatting together and temporarily locked up in an empty room waiting for Li Xu to resettle.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

At the foot of the mountain behind the Wild Boar Forest, Li Xu leaned against the trunk of a big tree, and listened to the constant sound of the experience value coming to the credit, knowing that the musketeers had successfully attacked the bandits' village.

Although I was happy, I didn’t have much excitement.

After all, the gap between the two sides is too big, although it seems that I still attack the crowd with few people.

But no matter what, let alone a few hundred bandits, even if the other party is hundreds of court officers and soldiers, that is the same result.

The difference is probably just one stick of incense or one and a half sticks of incense.

However, the experience value he kept recording still made him feel very happy. After all, the income this time was definitely greater than the experience value he had in the previous two battles, and there must be a lot of money seized. It can be said that he had gained a lot and was almost overflowing.

Now he thought that it was a more reasonable question to continue to expand the number of soldiers after this end.

Although his plan for the first phase of the army was to form an army of 1,000 people first, there is no need to fill it up all at once.

But it is still necessary to fill half of the quota first.

At that time, the cavalry will be formed into a cavalry squadron of 100 people, and then the number of grenades will be expanded to a squad of 50 people.

Then, as much as possible, the muskets will be expanded to 200 people, so that there will be four teams, and it will be better to arrange the dispatch when there are combat tasks in the future.

By the way, the archers and spearmen also need to be expanded. Although these two types of troops are cheap, they are still competent to guard Zhuangzi at present.

While planning in his mind, a light cavalry next to him suddenly whispered: "Lord, someone has come down."

When Li Xu calmed down, he saw a small bag on his back and holding a machete in his hand. The tall middle-aged man was carefully coming out of the forest and looking left and right. After waiting for a moment, he didn't see anything unusual. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his body, and walked north with his feet.

Suddenly, a lazy voice came from another forest beside his road:

"Where are you going to be, the boss?"
