Chapter 468
"Boom boom boom"
The fire points fell down and rolled and disappeared on the ground. With the light of the torch, Li Huaiyu saw that they were actually iron balls with wooden handles, but this head could not kill people unless it hits directly on the head.
But Li Huaiyu didn't dare to think so. He immediately recalled what Ye Chang used to kill An Qingzong just now.
The soldiers who were besieging were curious and leaned over to pick up the wooden iron ball, but as soon as they bent down, they heard the loud noises endlessly. Most of the iron balls exploded one after another.
"This is..." A few iron balls fell beside Li Huaiyu. He heard the sound, and a buzzing sound in his mind, and then the thoughts stopped.
At least a dozen pieces penetrated his body, causing fatal injuries to him from the weak point of the armor, tearing his body into a bloody ball.
Not only him, after this round of throwing, after the explosion, there were at least two hundred people who fell to the ground in the roar and scream, and nearly half of them died on the spot.
Although the power of the modified formula is still insufficient, and its real lethality is different from that of yellow gunpowder, it is used to match thin iron sheets, broken glass and iron caldera fences to create simple grenades. Under cluster attacks, it still shows a powerful power that exceeds any weapon at this time.
This kind of grenade ignited with a fuse also has several major weaknesses, such as the fuse is easily wet and extinguished, the explosion power is not very strong, and the fuse control is easily thrown back by the enemy or blown to his own people. However, these weaknesses are not weak tonight. One hundred and fifty grenades who have been trained for more than two years are experienced enough to ensure that each grenade will not explode on its own side. And the enemy who has never encountered such an attack, the first reaction is not to kick or throw the unexploded grenade away or throw it back, but to pick it up and look at it.
The explosion did not cause much chaos at the first time, because the rebels were stunned by the fireball that exploded like thunder. They were originally preparing to attack the gate of Ye's house, and there were very large numbers of people. It can be said that the hedgehog gathered before the main gate of Ye's house. The smoke of gunpowder had not yet dissipated after this round of explosion. Then, the grenadiers on the wall appeared again.
Another round of bomb drops, another round of explosions, this time the damage caused was even greater than the first time
Then, shouts sounded from Ye’s house, and Zhuo Junfu and others roared out. They rushed out of the door by clinging to the simple shield made of wooden boards, but in front of them, there were few enemies standing still.
Three thousand people, nearly two thousand people scattered around the Ye Mansion, and less than a thousand people were near the Ye Mansion. They stood so tightly that after two rounds of grenades, nearly half of them were killed or injured. The remaining people were also stunned by this weapon that surpassed the same era.
In fact, it was not only them, but also those who saw gunpowder weapons on the battlefield for the first time, but Ye Chang was prepared for this situation and woke them up from their dull state.
"kill"
Although Zhuo Junfu came out with the passion of a bloody battle, this time he called "kill" but was a little weak and powerless.
There were no enemies, or in other words, no enemy who could stand up and fight him to death, all the land was full of dead bodies or wounded, and both the dead and the injured were all covered in blood and even torn to pieces. The air was filled with a pungent smell of saltpeter, and in addition, there was an atmosphere of extreme fear.
With just a charge, most of the remaining rebels were killed, and the rest were slightly farther away. At this time, they came to their senses and started to escape by crying and crying at their parents.
The expected fierce battle did not happen at all. Although there were few people, Ye Chang's side achieved a one-sided victory.
"Dingchen, why are you stunned?" The person next to him saw Zhuo Junfu standing blankly, rubbing his shoulder with his shoulder and asked.
"The war is about to change... I am afraid that what I have learned before will be useless." Zhuo Junfu murmured.
"No matter how you change, you have to fight. Personal bravery may be useless, but military tactics are always useful." The man laughed: "And, I think the opportunity for our grand plan has just begun. Think about it, with these grenadiers, what kind of fortresses in the world can stop us? Under the leadership of the Langjun, we must plant our own battle flags all over the world and let the four barbarians truly return to their backs."
"Haha, what you said is that with this powerful weapon, everyone in the world can get it."
They came to their senses, and the rebels in the distance also began to flee. They looked back at Ye Chang one by one, waiting for Ye Chang to give a pursuit order.
"No need to chase after me, replenish the grenade immediately. We go east along Chunmingmen Street... An Lushan did not come. I guess he was going to chase the emperor, so we still have to go and pick him up." Ye Chang said.
"That old emperor, why not let him be captured." Yue Xi murmured in a low voice.
"I still need that old emperor now, at least I can't let the old emperor fall into the hands of An Lushan." Someone replied.
"Shh, you all shut up, don't be disrespectful to the emperor. That's the father of the twenty-nine mother, our husband.
"Shut up" Chunming shouted when he heard this, and suddenly the sound stopped, replaced by the laughter of eating.
It’s not that he disrespects Ye Chang, but because Ye Chang has no children so far. These people are equivalent to Ye Chang’s soldiers, so how can they not worry about this matter
Even the disciples taught by Ye Chang still retain the concept of clan. In their opinion, it is natural to serve Ye Chang and his descendants serve Ye Chang's descendants, but if no one inherits Ye Chang's foundation, who will they be loyal to in the future?
Maybe there will be a storm and dispute between them first, and then they will first make a big and a second brother.
Therefore, they are now very enthusiastic about Ye Chang's family affairs. Since Li Tengkong has separated from Ye Chang, Shou'an is a natural choice for mistress.
Under Ye Chang's order, everyone moved forward in a group, and the entire Ye Mansion completely gave up. They arrived at Chunmingmen Street and divided into two groups. Zhuo Junfu led a team to capture the Golden Light Gate in the west, and Ye Chang personally led a large army to go east along the street.
As we walked along the way, there were not many people on the street at this time. We only occasionally encountered a rebel squad, and they were defeated by two or three grenades. The emergence of gunpowder weapons gave the soldiers in this cold weapon era too much. When they saw it, they shouted "magic skills" and did not dare to fight at all.
When they rushed to the front of Zhuque Gate, they saw more than ten torches running towards them in front of them. With the light of the torch, they could vaguely see the leader holding a bald head. Ye Chang called out: "Master Shanzhi?"
"It's Mr. Ye" heard the sound and screamed in surprise.
"Stop, stop in front"
Before Ye Chang could answer with them, he heard a scream from behind, and countless torches lit up, illuminating the streets.
The pursuer has arrived
"Where is the insect mother, where is Your Majesty?" Ye Chang shouted.
Li Longji rode on the horse. Because he was running in a hurry, he didn't have much clothes on his body. When the night wind blew, he couldn't help but shivered. He had already heard the sound of the pursuing soldiers coming behind him. Seeing that it was getting closer, he felt very uneasy. When the torch appeared in front of him, he was almost desperate, thinking that it was An Lushan's pre-arranged blockade.
But when he heard Ye Chang's voice sound, he really smiled: Sure enough, Ye Chang came to answer.
Ye Chang came here to pick him up, which means that all the measures against Ye Chang arranged by An Lushan failed. Ye Chang's power was stronger than Li Longji expected. If this was the case, it might be possible to turn defeat into victory.
But then I heard Ye Chang's inquiry, but Ye Chang did not ask him first, but asked Shou'an first. Li Longji was stunned and then smiled bitterly.
In Ye Chang's mind, I am not as important as my emperor.
"Here, Shiyilang, I'm here." Shouan also rode a horse, shouted when he heard Yanhuan, stepped forward and met Ye Chang. Seeing that she was fine, Ye Chang saw that Li Longji was laughing at him immediately. Finally, he felt relieved. He was about to say something, but Shouan jumped off the horse and threw himself into his arms.
Because untrained war horses are easily frightened by grenades, Ye Chang's team is all infantrymen. Shou'an rushed into his arms, hugged his neck and laughed and cried. Ye Chang gently patted her back, knowing that although she was prepared, she was also scared, but at this time, she had no time to comfort her.
"My mother in the insect, you immediately retreat to the Golden Light Sect. I have sent someone to seize the Golden Light Sect. It is temporarily safe to go there. Here I want to repel the pursuers first to avoid them from entanglement."
"You have to be careful," Shouan let go of his hand and said to him.
"Don't worry." Ye Chang bowed to Li Longji and said, "Your Majesty, let's go."
"After the rebellion, I will personally take over the marriage for you two." Li Longji looked at Ye Chang, and then looked at only more than 200 people around him: "Ye Qing, be sure to protect yourself first."
"Thank you Your Majesty"
This is not a time to talk more. Ye Chang did not think about Li Longji's words and took his own people to face the soldiers behind him. Shanzhi, An Yuanguang and others bowed to Li Longji and claimed his guilt. Then they followed Ye Chang. Only Chen Xuanli, with more than ten remaining imperial guards, protected Li Longji, Shouan and others, retreated to the west.
An Lushan personally led his troops to pursue him, but when he saw the fire in front of him, he knew that there were many people coming. At first, he thought that he had sent someone to capture Ye Chang and took back the team, but after getting close, he immediately understood: this was a army loyal to Li Longji.
An Lushan heard the previous series of explosions, but he regarded them as winter thunder. Although they were rare, they might not be missing. Moreover, the night was chaotic, and An Lushan chased after him without knowing that his son had already collapsed. Seeing that there were not many people coming to intercept, he ordered with murderous intent: "Kill them, kill them all."
"Where is An Lushan?" As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted.
"Ye Chang?" An Lushan immediately identified the voice and felt a stern: "How is he here?"
Nearly two thousand people were sent to surround Ye Chang's mansion in advance, and later sent his son to lead a thousand men to support him. In An Lushan's opinion, this was already awesome to Ye Chang, but now Ye Chang actually appeared here, and his son had not even sent someone to report the news. What does this mean?
He was frightened, but before he could think too much, the two armies were approaching.
When the two sides were thirty steps apart, they heard someone shouting "Preparation".
Twenty steps apart, someone shouted "dropping bombs"
It was dark at this time, and the people led by Ye Chang were holding wooden shields, and the bow arrows did not have much effect. With this "bomb drop", An Lushan only saw dozens of fire points rising from behind Ye Chang's those who held wooden shields, landing a few steps in front of other troops, and then jumped and rolled over.
Under the fire, it looks like something like a wooden handle and iron melon.
An Lushan didn't know what this thing was, but he was smarter than Li Huaiyu and could tell that this was definitely not a good thing.
"flash……"
He cried, but the word "open" was still not spit out in his mouth, and he heard endless explosions.
The firelight came earlier than the explosion.
A ball of fire rose with thick smoke, and then a strong wind blew up on Chunmingmen Street, causing An Lushan's hair to float and his thick clothes danced like leaves.
An Lushan was not at the forefront of the team, so he might not have been able to get it by chance, but after the shock wave, a sticky thing fell from mid-air and rested on his shoulder. He looked at it with a broken palm.
"Preparation - drop bombs"
Cai Chenguo shouted in a very rhythmic voice.
After eleven years of Tianbao, he has been practicing this. At that time, the new weapon named Grenade by Ye Chang was just a prototype. During the first live-fire training, he even killed several brothers and scared the rest of the people to death. However, after more than three years of hard training, the grenade has improved a lot, and he and his more than 200 grenade soldiers have also honed every process of the grenade into an instinctive reaction.
During these times, they were all practicing hard on the uninhabited island in Liaodong, with more than twenty brothers killed and injured. Today, their hard training finally yielded results, and they also became the surprise soldiers of Ye Chang's Changan surrounded by this group of enemies.
Cai Chenguo guessed from the tasks arranged by Ye Chang that Ye Chang handed over his life to his surprise soldier. Although Cai Chenguo also realized over the years of training that his grenades actually had great weaknesses and limitations, as long as they were given a favorable environment, they would be the most terrifying destroyers of this era.
The second round of bomb drops ended, and in front of Ye Chang and the others, the pursuers led by An Lushan were scattered and could not be organized at all, just like the soldiers of An Qingzong and Li Huaiyu. They originally had many war horses, and the assault charge of war horses was one of the most deadly threats to grenades, but these horses had never experienced the close-range explosion of gunpowder. At this time, they were all in chaos and became shocked horses, which instead drove An Lushan's subordinates to death.
"Where is An Lushan?"
In the brief silence after the second round of bomb drops, Ye Chang asked from afar.
His question sounded like the opening gong. An Lushan's troops, who were frightened, immediately reacted.
"Demonic Technique"
"Help"
"Escape quickly, the monster is here"
"Mom, save me, save me"
Calls for help in various languages rang out, including An Lushan, and everyone, like those horses, made a subconscious choice: turn around and run.
