At this time, 3,000 soldiers carried heavy wooden shields to advance towards the top of the mountain. This time their purpose was not to capture the mountain, but to demolish the piles of gravel on the hillside! Although the gravel could provide shelter for the soldiers, their greater function was to block them from moving forward and cut off their formation. So they must be removed.

The soldiers of the Daxi Army slowly moved forward, and the muskets on the top of the mountain were still shooting in rows. Because the distance was relatively long, the casualties of the Daxi Army could be ignored. Therefore, the morale was quite high.

They soon arrived at the first row of three piles of gravel. The soldiers approached the pile of stones and lowered the heavy wooden shield, stretched out a few iron picks from the gap in the shield and began to quickly pull the pile of gravels. They didn't need to remove the entire pile of stones, just push it flat.

I saw someone pulling out the pile of gravels, and the rounding of the muskets accelerated! The dense lead ejection came, and there were always people who shot through the gap. However, although many soldiers were shot down one after another, some soldiers still picked up their hoes and continued to dig the pile of gravels.

But what they didn't see was that behind the wooden fence, the officer grinned and approached a torch on the ground. Three stirred wires inside the bamboo tube were lit and quickly burned along the bamboo tube.

Just as the soldiers of the Western Army had just pushed down the stone pile for half, suddenly the three stone piles exploded almost at the same time!

The huge explosion overturned the wooden shield and knocked down the crowd! The gravel was blown everywhere! At the same time, three small mushroom clouds rose into the air!

These three explosions that almost mixed together completely shocked all the soldiers of the Western Army! After they saw the explosion, three huge gaps appeared on the shield wall in front of them!

The people near the pile of gravels could not even see the fragments of the body! The people who were a little farther away were covered in blood and could not survive even if they saw it! Then the people who were a little farther away were shaking on the ground like drunkenness! The huge vibration had destroyed their ear drums and made them unable to stand firmly!

But before they woke up, the gravel that was blown into the sky had already hit the head and faced with it!

The power of the explosion is naturally perpendicular to

It is on the hillside, but because the hillside is oblique, the rocks splashing above the hillside are very close to the ground, but the stones in the Daxi Army team below the hillside are numerous and dense!

Especially, a steel plate was installed in front of the explosive pack, which even more concentrated the power of the explosion below the hillside. This was to prevent gravel from hurting one's own people.

This gust of stone rain smashed the soldiers of the Daxi Army to cry and cry for their parents, and countless casualties were killed or injured! The remaining soldiers threw down their weapons and ran away! Liu Haikuan, who was already full of confidence, was already stunned at this time!

He opened his eyes wide and looked at the tragic scene on the hillside, and his eyes were getting dark! He knew without looking at it that these three explosions killed at least 200 people! The number of injuries was at least three times the number of casualties! And only a lot! It was still the kind of injury that could not be in a short period of time!

When he woke up and looked at the hillside, there were two rows of six stone piles, his eyes were filled with fear! He was not sure if there was explosives buried in the two rows of stone piles, but judging from the current situation, there should be explosives!

So now it is a big problem whether it is detour or demolishing it! Because no matter how he does it, the explosives in these piles of stones will definitely explode! So this is a dead end! In the final analysis, in the end, some people have to be sacrificed to detonate the piles of stones to attack smoothly.

As he guessed, hundreds of kilograms of gunpowder were buried in the land at the bottom of the pile of stones! The gunpowder fuse was opened by bamboos everywhere and penetrated inside, and buried behind the fence. The main purpose of igniting the fuse, and these stone piles would explode!

In fact, if these gunpowder are loaded into the gun chamber, the damage caused is not only to these people in front of you! But one thing is, the bloody scene after this huge explosion is much more shocking than shooting people with a musket!

The broken head, broken torso, spilled internal organs, and a piece of broken limbs and arms looked so scary! Even the veterans who had been through the battlefield would feel chilled when they saw this scene! Not to mention the new recruits who had not participated in many battles!

Liu Haikuan, who woke up, immediately ordered these people to retreat.

He surrounded him and then brought him to the end of the position. He knew that these two thousand people would not be able to use them in a short period of time! Because they were already scared by the situation just now! I am afraid that these people would not stand up straight if they didn't rest for two or three days!

After arranging these people, Liu Haikuan said hatefully: "The whole army retreats and fights again in the afternoon!"

The soldiers of the Daxi Army who heard this order all breathed a sigh of relief! The scene just now was so hurtful! If the soldiers were sent closer to the piles of stones, no soldier would be willing! So it would be better to take a step back and think of a way to talk about it.

After arranging the army, Liu Haikuan gathered all his subordinates around him to give everyone an idea. But everyone hesitated and couldn't say it right!

There is no way to do this. As long as you dig the pile of gravel, you will most likely be killed! How could anyone be willing to die in vain? So more than a dozen people discussed for a long time but didn't find a result!

Liu Haikuan was so angry that he pulled out his battle knife and slashed it on the table, saying, "I must come up with an idea today! Otherwise, this battle will not be fought! If it really doesn't work, I'll draw a life-and-death lottery!"

A little leader smiled and said, "Boss, you can't blame the brothers for not having any idea about this! Explosives are buried in the pile of stones, and whoever gets close to them will die! There is really nothing we can do about this!"

Liu Haikuan stared at her eyes and said, "There is no way? There is no way to find a way!"

When he yelled, everyone stopped talking, leaving only Liu Haikuan staring at everyone with blood-red eyes. Just as he was getting more and more anxious, one of the leaders with the lowest position and closest to the door suddenly said: "Why would you catch some ordinary people and dig up the pile of stones! Those people are not official troops, can't you watch the common people die, right?"

Someone raised his head, and a pointed-mouthed leader immediately said, "Yes! Ask the people to dig! We can also send people to follow the people. If the official army refuses to blow the people to death, we will take advantage of the situation and rush forward and seize the mountain!"
Chapter completed!
