The rebels all over the mountains are like floods that open the gate, as if they are about to destroy everything.

Above the wall, the muskets of the muskets were already thumping. Faced with such dense storms, the extremely penetrating lead bullets could almost knock down one or two rebels at all. Some rebels were hit suddenly and fell into a pool of blood. The people behind had no time to react and were tripped directly.

For a moment, people were on their backs and horses were overturned.

But these are like waves in the sea, which is not worth mentioning compared to this vast army.

Although there were corpses left all over the ground, there were as many as a thousand people, but tens of thousands of rebels were still as powerful as rainbows, with only a hundred feet, eighty feet... sixty feet...

Even with three heads and six arms, three hundred musketeers still felt powerless in front of the rebels who were swarming like ants.

If the other party had five thousand people, they might beat him up, but...

Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the musketeers. They had always been invincible and started to practice and made many military achievements with Lord Hao. They were used to being invincible. But now, they suddenly felt powerless. Even though they were mechanically holding musketeers, even if they shot perfectly every time, even if there were countless corpses left under the city, they knew that their musketeers were powerless to stop the group of rushing beasts.

"shoot!"

The eyes of the hundred households were red. They would never allow failure. Once they failed, the rebels attacked the city tower, everything would be over, including everything they are now. Lord Hao, whom they feared, their hard-won happiness, and even their gradually growing self-esteem, would never allow them to do so.

Xie Tao held the long gun steadily and fired a gun. The recoil on the gun made his body tremble slightly, but he had long been accustomed to this slight amplitude. He practiced during the day and used the gun to kill the enemy. Even at night, in the depths of the dream, he was still firing the gun. This is his life and everything about him.

In the past, he was lonely and helpless, and now he can't remember how much hardship he suffered. It can even be said that he deliberately forgot his past and looked back on the unbearable past. And here, he learned his own value, he began to have brothers who have lived and people he respected and feared. At the same time, he realized his dignity and was respected by others.

He narrowed his eyes and couldn't see if his lead bullet hit the rebels, but he was sure that if nothing unexpected happened, a damn rebel would have been shot dead just now. Without even thinking too much, he took another loaded musket and set up a long gun again.

His eyes were directly focused on a rebel with a distinctive armor, who rushed to the forefront. Wearing a unique armor, it was obvious that this man must be a "small person", but in Xie Tao's eyes, this man was his irreconcilable enemy. This irreconcilable enemy wanted to kill Lord Hao, whom he regarded as his father and brother, and to level the pass under his feet. He wanted to slaughter his brothers and friends, to smash his dignity, and to take away everything he had.

Xie Tao bit his teeth. He discovered for the first time that he could have been so angry. The long-term exercise had already numb him. He only knew how to do as Lord Hao and Baihu ordered, followed others to listen to the command, advance... backward... reload gunpowder... raise guns... shoot... maintain muskets...

He suddenly stopped numb. He had an unprecedented emotion, mixed with resentment, hatred, and even a little uneasiness. No, everything in front of him must not be lost. He fired a gun ruthlessly.

Bang……

This familiar and unfamiliar voice was like a wonderful note in his ears, and then he saw the man fall to the ground with his own eyes.

Xie Tao was actually numb to the feeling of killing, but today, he suddenly felt like he was touched by an electric current. This was a feeling of pleasure. He died. Although this person who had never had a plain relationship with him had fallen into a pool of blood, Xie Tao tried some kind of pleasure in a long-distance shooting for the first time.

"Scatter! Scatter..."

The voices of the officials of the households were already a little hoarse, but they were still shouting that they wanted to let people know their existence. Only when they still existed can these young gunmen feel a sense of support.

Bang bang bang bang...

A strong tragic aura spread out.

In fact, many gunners have found that what they did is a bit futile. Although they shot and killed countless enemies, they still did not stop the rebels from taking action.

The only thing they could do was to try their best to stop it, but when more and more rebels arrived at the gate, they suddenly found sadly that their muskets could not shoot vertically against the wall. As long as they approached the rebels who were blocking the wall, they could immediately be fearless and set up ladders leisurely, even mocking them, making even more harsh shouts of killing.

It's up to the limit...

When the first rebels arrived in the rain of bullets and were about to set up a ladder, Chen Qinrang's heart couldn't help but stir. He never thought that the dawn of victory would come so easily.

Zhu Di, standing on the city wall, had already raised his heart at this moment. Of course, he knew that if these rebels really rushed to the city tower, everything would be over. He once firmly believed that no one could violate him when he stood above this majestic pass, but now...

Zhu Di took a deep breath and felt a little frustrated. If he had known this, he would not have taken such a risk.

But... Zhu Di immediately regained his confidence. Hao Fenglou gave him too many surprises. He had no reason not to believe this little guy. Besides, this little guy is his adopted son. If he can't even trust him, who else can trust him?

Zhu Di remembered many things, and many of his past experiences passed in his mind like a revolving lantern.

He was shocked and suspicious about the situation in the crisis. Someone stood up. This man was Hao Fenglou's mentor, Yao Guangxiao. Zhu Di chose to believe in this monk. Although this belief was more of a blind obedience when he was desperate, it was precisely because of this trust that Zhu Di came to this day.

Now, Zhu Di still chose to trust, and his eyes gradually became firm without hesitation!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The rebels who set up the ladders had begun to climb one by one, one...two...seven...eight ladders combined, with densely packed tops, like ants on candy cubes, and there were rebels climbing everywhere. The drums were like thunder, and the morale of the rebels who were red-eyed was greatly boosted, and they shouted horns to speed up their movements.

The rebels, who were still in the rain of bullets under the wall, saw the dawn and couldn't help but scream. More and more people began to gather under the city wall, more and more and more densely.

Hao Fenglou's eyes suddenly lit up at this time.

He suddenly shouted: "Grenadier, all the grenadiers are ready!"

With a command, the strong men who had previously helped fill the gunpowder put down their muskets, and everyone began to uncover the boxes placed in the corner of the city wall.

Rows of boxes were covered with black paint. When the boxes were uncovered, round black balls were revealed.

The surface of the black ball is a thin layer of iron sheet, but I don’t know what is stuffed inside. The bottom of the iron sheet is a wooden handle, which is connected to the iron sheet.

This...is like a grenade from later generations...

That's right, this is indeed a grenade, at least it's a bit similar in appearance.

The earliest application of grenades came from the Song Dynasty. Naturally, like most sudden inventions, although there were always various innovations, they did not apply them on a large scale. At this time, grenades had also appeared in the West at the same time. The grenades were filled with black gunpowder, and grenades filled with black gunpowder were mainly used for fortress defense. One or two hundred years later, some Western countries equipped field grenades in elite troops, and called soldiers who had been specially trained to use this ammunition grenades.

It is not to mention the characteristics of grenades. They are very lethal, light in carrying, and easy to use. Moreover, due to their characteristics, they are almost a powerful weapon for fortress defense. If the two armies are in the field, this kind of thing is extremely useful, but once they attack or defend the city, their lethality will increase exponentially, even much more powerful than the bulky artillery.

As for the manufacturing process of this grenade, it is simple. Hao Fenglou combined grenades from the early Song Dynasty and Westerners to draw sketches, and then distributed these sketches to the craftsmen to trial production. The craftsmen continued to discuss and improve. After the trial production, they finally set the grenade and began to be manufactured on a large scale.

The process is ready-made, all raw materials are also ready-made, and the internal structure is not complicated, which is much easier than making a musket.

As for the black gunpowder filled with the grenade, although it is much less powerful than later generations, it is enough in this era. More importantly, Hao Fenglou sinisterly mixed with a lot of steel nails and iron sheets into the black gunpowder wrapped in the iron sheet. As for the effect... I am afraid that it will be known if I have to use it on these rebels.
