Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 236 The Power of Explosive Packs
Time goes back to three days ago, three days before Xu Miaojin set off, that night.

Zhu Zhen had people bring out all the wine and meat that could be bought in Weizhou City, so that all the soldiers in the army had enough to eat and drink, and then continued on the road overnight.

The meat replenished their physical strength and the wine numbed their nerves. This allowed the troops to ignore their fatigue during the day and continued to rush towards Ningxia Town at a rapid march.

Zhu Ming also knew that he was too cruel, but he had no choice.

He prepared the entire army as soon as the system issued a warning that Ningxia Town was attacked, and set off on the same day.

But still too late.

This bloody letter issued by Ningxia Town has made it clear that the situation in Ningxia Town must be very bad.

Once the city is broken, it is conceivable that the people in the city will be massacred by the enemy first.

Didn't Shen Rong say that these guys will eat anything, even the dead?

It is said that there is a tradition in Mongolia, which says that when a person lives to a certain age, he or she will not be buried in the ground until death, but will be eaten. Of course, it must be a healthy person, but not if you are sick.

Zhu Zhen could no longer imagine how the people at the border would be treated.

Especially women.

Today, there is still a system of slavery on the grasslands, and everything owned by the slaves belongs to the master.

Once taken away as a slave, there will be no light.

So he could only grit his teeth and keep urging the whole army to hurry up, hurry up, and hurry up.

If they can reach Ningxia Town before the city is broken, they may be able to change everything, and maybe be saved.

Moreover, only with a fortified city can we calmly withstand enemy attacks.

If he encounters the enemy's cavalry in the wild, even if Zhu Zhen now has [-] cavalry, he will probably suffer a big loss.

What's more, they are already so exhausted that they absolutely cannot have an encounter in the wild, otherwise most of the army will have no fighting capacity.

Then we must defend Ningxia Town.

The troops were rushing all the way. They could no longer hold on, but fortunately they had been replenished with food and wine. In addition, Zhu Zhen was charging at the front with one man and one horse. He was leading the charge, so who dared to complain.

In this way, the entire army did not even light torches, but rather blindly followed Zhu Zhen in the dark night, running wildly with their heads down.

Fortunately, this is not Yunnan. Otherwise, if Zhu Chu were accidentally taken to a miasma-filled forest, the whole army would probably be destroyed.

Finally, under the moonlight, the shadow of a city could be seen in the distance.

It is Ningxia Town, one of the important towns on the nine sides.

Zhu Ming's eyes lit up and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The distance from Weizhou City to Ningxia Town is hundreds of kilometers, and the distance from Qingyang to Weizhou City is also as long.

Zhu Zhen led the entire army and ran almost three or four, or four or five full marathons in one day and one night.

The entire marathon is only over 40 kilometers.

"Ningxia Town is right in front of us. Peng Yue, Qian Shu, Niu Sheng," Zhu Zhen shouted.

As commanders, these three people naturally have horses, and they are not far behind Zhu Chu.

At this time, the three people shouted: "The end will be here."

"The three of you stay and prepare the troops," Zhu Zhen shouted.

The three of them were stunned, what happened?

Then I heard Zhu Min shouting: "Wang Fu."

Wang Fu shouted: "The humble duty is here."

"Lead the cavalry, charge with me, and rush to the aid of Ningxia," Zhu Zhen shouted, taking the lead in urging his horses, speeding up and rushing out.

It turned out that in order to take care of the speed of the infantry, although Zhu Zhen already had a cavalry, he did not gallop at full speed, otherwise all the infantry would have to be left behind.

It was not until this time that Zhu Zheng ordered Wang Fu to lead [-] cavalry and his own [-] cavalry guards, a total of [-] people, and rush all the way to Ningxia Town ahead.

The three major commanders stopped where they were, and according to Zhu Zhen's order, they began to organize the [-] infantry troops in the rear.

As the infantry were finally able to stop and rest, there were suddenly numerous violent and heavy breathing sounds, and countless people coughing.

"Oh my god, am I still alive?" When someone says a sentence, he has to gasp several times before he can finish it intermittently.

Some people couldn't stand anymore and just lay on the ground, trying to pretend to be dead.

There were also people who knelt there and vomited with a sound of "wow".

During the day, they had already completed a forced march of more than 100 kilometers, and now they had completed another [-] kilometers of forced march in half the night.

Everyone can no longer hold on.

Peng Yue sighed and was about to let everyone take a break.

But Niu Sheng shouted: "Brothers, His Highness has already taken the lead. I'm afraid he has entered the city at this time and climbed up the city wall of Ningxia Town to defend his country and kill the Tatars. If you want to continue resting where you are, you might as well take a nap. , when the Tatars break through the city wall and come in to kill you with their butcher knives, are you going to follow His Highness and defend your country with us?"

The ten thousand soldiers gradually calmed down and their breathing gradually became evener.

Someone shouted: "Kill the Tartars, protect the homeland and the country, and make achievements."

These were also the words Zhu Chu used to inspire the entire army.

"Okay," Peng Yue shouted excitedly: "Follow the King of Dian and protect your family and country for now."

"Here."

The whole army shouted, and under the leadership of the three commanders, they moved forward again.

In fact, before this, this army had been completely demoralized and demoralized.

I have to say that Zhu Ming is very capable now and knows how to win people's hearts.

First he shocked the whole army, then he used a python robe to make the whole army vent their grievances, and finally he compensated them and kept making slanderous remarks.

After a complete set of procedures, and comparing what Qin King Zhu Ping did in the past, who would not want to follow him?
It was precisely because of the military's will that Zhu Chu was able to pull them all the way from Xi'an to Ningxia Town in two days and two nights. At this time, he came voluntarily without Zhu Chu's supervision.

It can be said that Zhu Zhen is very capable.

And when 1 people rushed to the city, they found that the city gate of Ningxia Town was actually wide open?
Even when they entered the city, they found that there was no one on the street.

At this time, shouts of killing came from another direction in Ningxia Town.

In particular, a voice they were familiar with shouted: "Drive out the Tartars and protect China. Protect our country and make contributions today."

It was Zhu Zhen. At this time, he had arrived on the city wall facing the outside of Ningxia Town.

Ningxia Town, as one of the nine important towns, its main purpose is to defend outside the pass.

At this time, the place was attacked, because the enemy troops came too suddenly and were caught off guard.

In addition, the Tatars outside the pass were good at riding and shooting, and they actually suppressed the defenders on the city. They also built trebuchets and siege engines, destroying a lot of the originally intact city walls.

In fact, the Tatars began to attack the city the day before yesterday. In addition, they continued to attack the city all day today. Both sides suffered losses.

If nothing unexpected happens, according to the thinking of these Tatars, they plan to completely break through Ningxia Town tonight and then invade in a large scale.

Therefore, the commander who defended the city saw that he could no longer defend the city. He not only sent cavalry to Weizhou City to warn, but also asked the people in the city to flee.

Because once the city is broken, burning, killing, looting and looting are inevitable.

At this moment, Zhu Zhen finally arrived.

Due to the need to evacuate the people in the city, the city gate facing the pass was opened wide, and there was no time to close it.

So when Zhu Chu climbed onto the city wall, the defenders were stunned.

Who is this?

"Who are you?" A middle-aged general stood on another section of the city wall and looked over.

Because there was a big stone embedded in the wall in the middle, which blocked their way, causing many people on their side to be trapped in it and unable to get through.

Zhu Chu waved his hand and shouted: "No need to ask more, the Ming army is mighty. Wang Fu, prepare to go out of the city to fight."

Out of town to fight?

The general was startled and was about to stop him.

But there was a steel gun in Zhu Chu's hand. He stepped off the battlements on the city wall and actually took off in the air and jumped out?

The general and the defenders on the city wall were all stunned.

Not only them, but also the enemy soldiers outside also raised their heads and stared at Zhu Zhen blankly.Because the enemy wanted to attack the city overnight, a large number of torches were lit inside and outside the city for lighting.

Although it wasn't as bright as day, it was still very conspicuous when someone suddenly jumped down from the city wall.

Outside the city, the Tatars had built ladders and bombarded them with trebuchets during the day. Today, the city walls of Ningxia Town are in dilapidated condition.

Now is the time for the people below to use siege engines to ram into the city gate, and at the same time use ladders to attack the top of the wall.

After all, Ningxia Town only has one guard station with more than 5000 troops, but this time at least [-] Tatar cavalry invaded.

After two days and one night of fierce fighting, many people have died in Ningxia Town, and more than 2000 Tatars outside the pass have also died.

Originally, the Tatars already felt that victory was in sight.

But just when they were about to take the ladder to attack the city, Zhu Zhen jumped down from the top.

Zhu Chu did not want to jump off the building to seek death, but instead circulated his true energy and floated out.

Both the enemy and ourselves on the city and below outside the city were dumbfounded.

Suddenly, someone among the enemy soldiers shouted: "What bird man, shoot him down."

Seeing the enemy, he would bend his bow and draw arrows to focus his fire.

"You are the birdman, and your whole family is a birdman," Zhu Zhen cursed angrily, looked in the right direction, and no longer used his true energy to keep himself gliding. Instead, he aggravated himself and was smashed down like a cannonball.

With just a "bang" sound, Zhu Zhen fell into the enemy's formation.

And with his current physical condition, he was naturally unscathed.

At this time, countless enemy soldiers around were carrying ladders. When they saw him, they hesitated whether to put down what they were holding, and then dealt with this guy who fell from the sky inexplicably.

They were hesitating, but Zhu Zhen would not hesitate. Seeing that there were enemies around him, how could he be polite.

"The Eight Great Spears."

Zhu Zhen shouted loudly, waved the steel gun in his hand, and smashed it out.

With his terrifying strength, combined with his wide-opening and closing moves, he was able to sweep away a dozen or so unprepared enemy troops around him.

In just one move, both the enemy and ourselves were suppressed.

What kind of power is this?Is this still something humans can do?
Just when everyone was still shocked by Zhu Zhen's terrifying force, the city gate behind him suddenly opened slowly.

The general on the city suddenly became anxious and cursed angrily: "Which traitor opened the city gate?"

Nowadays, there are high walls and thick doors that can no longer be kept. How dare you open the door?Could it be that he wanted to let the Tartars enter the pass?
But immediately after, Wang Fu rushed out first with an exaggerated broadsword, followed by a war horse galloping towards Zhu Chu, followed closely by Zhu Chu's one hundred guards, and then five Thousands of cavalry.

Wang Fu looked at the siege vehicles formed by the enemy troops in front of him with blazing eyes.

There was also a thick wooden board erected in front of the siege vehicle to resist the arrows of the defenders on the wall.

It's a pity that there are no artillery in this city, otherwise the siege vehicle would be shattered with one shot.

Wang Fu knew that the siege vehicle was the biggest threat, so without hesitation, he held the sword at his side and rode straight towards the siege vehicle.

"Stop him," someone among the enemy troops shouted.

But it was too late. Because the Tatars had to use ladders and siege engines, they gave up their advantages, that is, they abandoned their horses and became infantry.

On the contrary, it was Wang Fu who rushed to the siege vehicle first, then raised his sword and slashed away a Tatar in front of him who was still trying to stop him.

Although it was not as shocking as the scene where Zhu Chu shot out and knocked away more than a dozen people just now, his sword could split a person's upper body.

A large amount of blood flew out.

This was not over yet. Wang Fu rode his horse and began to clear out the enemy troops around the siege vehicle. While killing people, he chopped at the joints on the siege vehicle.

With just a 'click' sound, the siege vehicle suddenly collapsed.

"Damn, damn, the whole army is on horseback, let me overwhelm them," someone roared from behind the enemy army, holding up a strange-looking Mongolian knife in his hand and giving orders.

After all, the enemy army was overwhelming at this time. Even though more than 2000 people died in the attack on the city in these two days, there were still close to [-] people.

Except for the people around Zhu Zhen, Wang Fu and others, everyone else had their horses on their crotches, whistling some weird sounds of unknown meaning, and galloped into the battlefield one after another.

The general on the city wall secretly shouted, "If the Tatar cavalry charges, those who fall outside the city will only end up being slaughtered."

Zhu Chu had already welcomed the old man and got on his horse. Surrounded by a hundred mounted guards, he looked forward.

Facing the charge of more than 2 cavalry, Zhu Zhen had no expression on his face. He just silently put away the spear in his hand, and then took out another gun.

It's the big pineapple.

This is Zhu Xi's biggest confidence and trump card now.

"Everyone, times have changed," Zhu Zhen shouted and pulled the trigger in his hand.

There is already a bullet chain with a capacity of [-] rounds hanging on Big Pineapple, and the barrel of the gun that was destroyed by the explosion has long been replaced.

Along with a burst of 'ta-da-da' sounds, the power of thermal weapons was once again unleashed on the ancient battlefield.

Based on Big Pineapple's theoretical rate of fire of nearly a thousand rounds per minute, two hundred rounds of ammunition have been fired in less than 1 seconds.

And when two hundred rounds of ammunition were used up in an instant, among the more than 2 cavalry enemy troops in front, the Tatars were falling one after another.

Some people had many horrific bloody holes on their bodies. After all, the big pineapple was a machine gun. Even if it was a light machine gun, it was still a machine gun.

The two sides were probably less than 500 meters apart. A hit at such a close distance could create a hole in a person's body.

Some lucky ones died on the spot.

There were also some unlucky ones who fell down because the injuries they received were not fatal, and were trampled to death by the chaotic hooves of horses.

In a battle formation of this scale, if they accidentally fall down, they will never get up again, and their own people will trample them to death.

And because the enemy troops were so dense, Zhu Zhen didn't even need to aim. As long as he held the gun steady and didn't let the recoil affect the horizontal line of the muzzle, a single bullet would be able to shoot down countless people.

The bullets will even penetrate the two or three people behind, which means that two hundred rounds of bullets can take away at least five to six hundred lives of the enemy.

Although this scene was exaggerated, the enemy troops had already charged, and even if some people were frightened, they could not stop.

Until Zhu Jin called Wang Fu and asked him to change the bullets for the machine gun.

Wang Fu has already seen the existence of Big Pineapple and knows that Zhu Chu hides many secrets, but he won't ask. As long as Zhu Chu doesn't tell, he won't ask.

Unexpectedly, he now knows how to change bullets for a big pineapple.

Zhu Ming, on the other hand, looked nonchalant again and took out a square thing that looked like it was wrapped in a quilt.

Others didn't know what it was, only Wang Fu and the one hundred guards around him showed their faces clearly.

Zhu Chu took out a fire stick, lit a fuse on the 'package' in his hand, then raised his hand and threw it forward.

The package happened to fall on the path of the Tatar cavalry, but everyone looked puzzled. What kind of confusing behavior was this?
In fact, what Zhu Chu threw was the explosive bag. Because the power of the explosive bag was so terrible, Wu Yong and Long Qu, who were in charge of the experiment, set the fuse very long, so there was no immediate explosion.

Zhu Zhen naturally knew what was going on, so he unhurriedly took out the explosive packets one after another, four in total, and lit the fuses one after another and went out.

Five explosive packets were placed on the road of the Tatar cavalry.

Zhu Ming looked at Wang Fu, then at the guards on the side, then raised his hands to cover his ears.

The guards also followed suit. Only Wang Fu looked at Zhu Xi and then at the heavy machine gun in his arms, feeling like crying but without tears.

The next moment, there was only a loud bang, like a thunder exploding out of thin air.

At that time, the Tatar cavalry in front happened to step over the first explosive pack. At this time, the explosive pack exploded. The terrible power of gunpowder not only knocked several cavalrymen and horses flying on the spot, but the terrifying momentum also knocked the charging troops and horses away. Terrified and confused.

That's not all. The second explosive package also exploded at this time, followed by the third, fourth, and fifth.

'Boom boom boom boom'.

The ground seemed to be trembling, and he didn't know if it was an illusion. Zhu Zhen seemed to see a black cloud. Unfortunately, it was the smoke of black gunpowder, not a mushroom cloud.

By the way, if this is a mushroom cloud, I'm afraid he himself can't escape the range, right?
With the sudden display of power from the five explosive charges, the enemy's lineup was completely thrown into disarray. Even the horses of the five thousand cavalrymen behind Zhu Zhen were restless and neighing.

This is true for one of our own, let alone an enemy?
Zhu Chu's five thousand cavalry had already come out of the city and were right behind Zhu Chu, but Zhu Chu did not let them charge.

Because Zhu Chen had the big pineapple and the explosive pack as his trump card, he would not foolishly use 5000 men to fight against the enemy's 3 troops. Even if he fought, he would not make any profit.

Only then did Zhu Chu point his hand forward without haste: "Crush them away."

As a result, there was no movement behind him. When Zhu Chu turned his head and took a look, he realized that even his own horses were in a mess, including his own horse-loving old man, who was also scratching his hooves restlessly. If Zhu Chu hadn't been sitting on it, , maybe you want to run away too?
Zhu Ming shook his head and asked Wang Fu to bring the gun.

It seems that he still has to rely on him to turn the situation around.
