    Gunpowder packets rained down from the walls on both sides of the city gate, and fell into the ranks of the retreating rebels. The "boom" explosions resounded under the city wall again The rebels crowded into the moat as they fled.  Going up several passages, many rebel soldiers were pushed directly into the moat.  The rebel soldiers who only wanted to escape back to the camp rushed across the moat and rushed directly into the rebel firearms queue. The generals in the firearms queue tried their best to threaten and scold them, but to no avail. They quickly rushed the rebel firearms queue.  Everything was in disarray, but the firearms soldiers also began to join the fleeing ranks.  As the saying goes, "a defeat is like a mountain," it is no exaggeration to describe the current escape scene of the rebels. Even Mao Chenglu had difficulty controlling the chaotic scene, so he had to turn around and flee towards the rebel camp under the protection of his personal guards.  Huang Jinjiang watched the rebel soldiers fleeing from the city. He banged the battlements with his hands and said loudly: "Well done, it will be easy for the Pingdu City rebels to come in, but it will be difficult for them to leave!" "Everyone knows about gunpowder.  It can explode, and gunpowder can be used to fire cannons, but who would have thought of using gunpowder explosion to cause a huge blow to the enemy?" Qin Mazi, standing next to Feng Jian, looked at Feng Jian with admiration.  Huang Jinjiang also said with admiration: "Today the rebels invested 10,000 infantry and dozens of chariots to attack Cheng'en Gate. If the garrison guards at the Zhenshan Camp at the top of the city were not deterred by gunpowder packets, they would have to pay heavy casualties to defend the city wall.  "The appearance of gunpowder packs played a role in turning the tide of the battle twice in a row. The first time was in Shuicheng, Dengzhou. The commander used gunpowder packs to blast open the ice and safely transfer the naval warships.  This time, they faced a crazy attack by Kong Youde's rebels.  At the most critical moment, the gunpowder pack exploded in the rebel column, directly causing the siege rebels to collapse and escape.  As a personal guard around Feng Jian.  Huang Jinjiang, Qin Mazi and others knew all this very well.  Qin Mazi said: "I dare say that if there was no commander in charge to strategize and Zhenshan Camp to defend the city, Pingdu City would have been captured by the rebels long ago." Feng Jian was also in a relaxed mood at this time, and nodded Huang Jinjiang and Qin with his hands with a smile.  Mazi said: "I really didn't realize that Mazi went to the capital. He is good at flattery, and Omi is also good at flattery." Qin Mazi also said anxiously: "This subordinate is not afraid of flattery, but  I sincerely admire the commander's whimsical thinking. Under your correct command and leadership, our Zhenshan Battalion has won successive victories. Especially this gunpowder pack can even turn the tide of the battle against the enemy. " Huang Jinjiang also laughed.  Said: "These subordinates are your personal guards. It is natural that we respect and admire you. Everything I say comes from the bottom of my heart, and I am by no means flattering you. However, I am a little worried whether this gunpowder bag will be used by others."  The rebels used it to deal with our Zhenshan camp soldiers? " Feng Jian was very moved. These personal guards put their lives and wealth on themselves, and they would not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for themselves at critical moments. Feng Jian knew this.  I heard Huang Jinjiang¡¯s worries.  Feng Jian shook his head and said: "Probably not. Gunpowder bags seem to be easy to make. As long as there is enough gunpowder, they can be made at any time. However, making gunpowder bags also requires certain skills. For example, you must master certain skills to make gunpowder wire. How?  It takes skills to make the gunpowder line last and ignite the explosive quickly. " "Great!" Huang Jinjiang slapped the battlements hard.  , "This gunpowder will be our Zhenshan Camp's weapon to kill enemies from now on. It is specially designed to kill those who dare to oppose our Zhenshan Camp." Feng Jian looked at the rebels who fled under the city and said: "Today is just a small test, I will wait for my command in the future.  The commander made an iron gunpowder bag. That is the real weapon to kill the enemy." Huang Jinjiang nodded quickly and said with a smile: "The commander is looking forward to making this iron gunpowder bag as soon as possible to use it on the battlefield.  Enemy!" Qin Mazi was a little confused. In his impression, iron gunpowder bags were much harder than paper gunpowder bags. Using them to wrap gunpowder would reduce the explosive power of the gunpowder. Why did the commander say that iron gunpowder bags were the best choice?  Where is the real murder weapon?  Feng Jian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's go, the rebels have fled, and we can't miss this opportunity to beat up the drowned dog." After saying this, he walked towards Zhao Shougang first.  Qin Mazi was stunned. Huang Jinjiang and other personal guards had already followed Feng Jian and left. Qin Mazi couldn't figure it out, so he had to scratch his head and follow The rebels outside the city gate fled in a hurry to the city wall, and the city shook the mountain.  The soldiers of the battalion had stopped throwing gunpowder packets, and only the cannon soldiers on the top of the city were still chasing the rebels and shooting.  Outside the gate of Wengcheng, Fan Li's two squatting tiger cannons have not stopped shelling.  Zhao Shougang held up a telescope to observe the situation in the rebel camp, and saw that the cavalry, which had been silent in front of the rebel formation, was divided into two groups.?, part of the rebel cavalry was still on guard in place, and another part of the cavalry began to slowly ride towards the fleeing soldiers, apparently intending to prevent the rebels from fleeing and to be wary of a surprise attack by the defenders in the city.  Zhao Shougang put down his telescope and hesitated to open the city gate and send troops to pursue the rebels. He was afraid that the rebel cavalry's sudden counterattack would cause casualties to the Zhenshan Battalion soldiers who went out of the city to pursue.  Feng Jian's voice suddenly came from behind him: "This is a good opportunity to beat up the drowned dog, why are you hesitating?" Zhao Shougang hurriedly turned his head and handed the binoculars to Feng Jian and said: "Commander, please look, Kong Youde has sent chariots and cavalry to pick up the fleeing people.  Rebels, my subordinates feel that our Zhenshan Battalion is not strong enough and needs to defend the city, so it is inconvenient to attack rashly." Feng Jian did not pick up the telescope and said calmly: "As a commander, you must immediately order the execution of things you see clearly.  The most important thing on the battlefield is hesitation. Now that the rebels in the city are like lost dogs, how can the rebel cavalry have the energy to launch a counterattack against me?  The best time for soldiers to have the confidence to win. "Zhao Shougang planned the deployment of troops in every detail, but lacked Feng Jian's indomitable momentum.  Now when he heard Feng Jian's slightly scolding words, a layer of sweat broke out on his dark face that was illuminated by the sun.  He quickly saluted Feng Jian and said with a shameful face: "My subordinates will send troops out of the city to pursue the rebels" Seeing Zhao Shougang's uncomfortable look, Feng Jian felt that his words were too harsh, so he slowed down his voice and explained to Zhao Shougang.  : "The purpose of pursuing the rebels is to lower their morale. They will be afraid when the rebels attack the city again, so that our Zhenshan Battalion soldiers can defend the city." Zhao Shougang was moved and said quickly, "Commander, don't worry, my subordinates will  We will mobilize and arrange the troops. Only Sirao and his Western artillery and the cannons on the enemy's platform are left to defend the city. The remaining soldiers who defend the city will lead their subordinates to go out of the city to pursue the enemy. "Feng Jiantou said: "It is up to you to decide how to send troops.  After considering the arrangement, the city ordered Sirao's Western artillery to aim at the rebel cavalry. Once it enters the artillery attack range, it should be able to continue firing and immediately launch artillery bombardment. Our soldiers who go out of the city to pursue the enemy must not exceed the artillery attack range. That is to say  Our soldiers are encircling and suppressing the rebels within three or four miles of the city. "Feng Jian pointed to the position of Fan Li and others at the gate of Wengcheng and said, "Fan Li and the five hundred people just fought with the rebels.  There must have been a lot of casualties among the soldiers. We sent a medical team to rescue and treat them. "Fan Li and his 500 soldiers were attacked by rebel firearms on both sides of the city wall. There were more than a dozen soldiers injured and killed.  If the rebels had not been in chaos and dispersed the rebel firearm array, Fan Li and his five hundred men would have suffered even greater casualties.  Now all the rebels in the city have joined the retreat. The ground is full of weapons and blades thrown by the rebels. What excites Fan Li the most is that the thirty-six tanks used by the rebels to attack the city have been abandoned in the city.  Outside the door, the soldiers on the chariot had already run away.  The power of the rocket car and the general's car is obvious to all. The gate of Wengcheng was directly bombarded by the Franco machine gun carried on the general's car and was directly smashed into pieces.  And the inside of Wengcheng was pockmarked by the flying crows of divine fire carried on rocket vehicles.  The twenty vehicles are also very powerful. Each vehicle can carry twenty gun soldiers and are used on the battlefield. The bird soldiers only need to fire their guns in them. There is a solid carriage defense, so there is no need to worry about the enemy's harm.  .  Now that these thirty-six tanks have officially become the trophies of the Zhenshan Camp, this is indeed exciting. Fan Li even decided to ask the commander to allocate these thirty-six tanks to the teaching team after returning.  Fan Li heard the commander mention that this chariot was specially used to deal with cavalry on the battlefield, but the rebels used it to attack the city. It was a waste of natural resources.  Looking at the fleeing rebels, Fan Li had the same thought as Huang Jinjiang: "Humph, these rebels came easily, but you have to pay the price if you want to leave!" Fan Li loudly ordered: "Leave a small team to take care of the wounded soldiers, and the rest  All the soldiers will follow me to pursue the rebels. "It has to be said that these people who came from Feng Jian's personal bodyguards have more or less learned Feng Jian's resolute, decisive and adventurous qualities.  The fleeing rebels were like a herd of cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Fan Li and other Zhenshan camp soldiers were not merciless in killing them. Killing these rebels was just to eliminate the harm to the victimized people around them!  On the battlefield, Fan Li's 500 men chased nearly 10,000 rebels. The rebels who had no time to escape often fell to their knees in groups and surrendered to Fan Li's 500 men.  Gradually, Fan Li and the other 500 people actually caught up with the fleeing rebels. Fan Li suddenly discovered that many rebel cavalry appeared on the opposite side, and the rumble of horse hooves made the ground tremble.  A group of Zhenshan Camp soldiers were immediately dumbfounded. There were only less than 500 of them.It's not enough to watch in front of thousands of rebel cavalry. If the opponent charges, all of them will die.  After a moment of panic, Fan Li first forced himself to calm down. He looked at the rebel cavalry a mile away, knowing that escaping now would not only be useless, but would lead to faster defeat. As long as he formed the formation as usual training, he might still be able to escape.  There is a glimmer of hope.  Fan Li turned his head and shouted loudly: "Brothers of the Zhenshan Camp, don't panic. Now listen to my military order. All soldiers will immediately form formations and the gun soldiers will enter the firing state." Good training and strict military discipline allowed this 500-man army to  When the team faced the advancing rebel cavalry, although the soldiers all knew that the attack was dangerous, no one ran away, let alone noisy and noisy. Instead, they quickly formed a formation and prepared to meet the enemy.  !  !  (To be continued)
