Chapter 253: Using Explosives (Part )
But if it is released, it will definitely alert the enemy.
They only had eight explosives, which were not enough to blow up the 30,000 soldiers below.
We'd be lucky if we could eliminate half of them.
"Captain Lu..." Captain Zhang called out again in a low voice.
Lu Baoping tightened his grip on the explosives, took a deep breath, and waited until their troops were most concentrated before lighting the dynamite and throwing it toward them...
The elite soldiers walking in the front suddenly found a round black object dropped above their heads.
He immediately shouted: "There is an ambush ahead...ah..."
"boom......"
Before he could finish his words, the man and the horse were blown to pieces...
Not only him, but even the elite riders near him were blown away.
"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly..."
Someone in the crowd shouted this.
Seeing this, Gu Xizi in the middle felt something was wrong, but after the explosion in front, there was no movement.
He then raised the sword in his hand and shouted, "Don't retreat! Charge!"
However, this was a time of war and chaos, so who could hear his voice?
Seeing this, Gu Xizi became furious.
He casually grabbed a retreating elite soldier and chopped off his head with one blow...
Then he thrust the head in with a machete, held it high, and shouted, "Whoever dares to withdraw will suffer the same fate as him!"
Sure enough, his action immediately brought the situation under control.
Seeing this, Gu Xinzi threw the head down.
He pointed at the people in front and said, "You guys, go to the front!"
"Gu Qian..."
"Ok?"
Just one simple word made the scalps of those elite soldiers tingle.
If you move forward, you will die; if you retreat, you will also die. So the natural choice is to move forward. After all, if you move forward, there is still a chance, right?
Lu Baoping, who was sitting on the slope, could see clearly what Gu Xizi and the others were doing.
I couldn't help but frown when I saw him using such a radical method to stop the riot.
But these were not within his consideration.
What he should consider now is how to use the least amount of explosives to blow up the most enemies.
Now that the enemy has been alerted, Gu Xizi will be even less likely to come forward.
Thinking of this, Lu Baoping waved his hand towards the archers behind him, signaling them to get ready.
The archer understood and immediately put the sword in his hand on the bow, making all preparations.
When he saw them approaching, he immediately released his bow following Lu Baoping's gesture...
"call out......"
"call out......"
"call out......"
"..."
Countless arrows were shot forward.
They are all archers carefully trained by Chen Wanruo. At this distance, they can definitely hit the target every time.
"Hurry up, charge forward..." shouted Gu Xizi in the middle.
In his eyes, he didn't care whether the soldiers under his command were dead or alive.
What he cared about was whether he could reach the battlefield smoothly.
Provide support to the general and the deputy general.
So, even though he knew that many people would die if he went forward, he still didn't care.
Sure enough, just as Lu Baoping expected, their people rushed forward as usual.
This was Gu Xizi, he had fought him a few times, and he was basically the type of person who would not give up until he achieved his goal.
Obviously, he now ordered people to rush over quickly.
Seeing this, Lu Baoping raised his hand again.
The elite soldiers behind him stepped forward again and pushed the boulder in their hands down...
At the same time, archers were constantly shooting downwards.
For a moment, arrows flew everywhere from both sides, and it was already impossible to tell which arrow was from which side...
Gu Xizi, who was in the middle of the soldiers, was even more furious. He never dreamed that they would actually ambush here.
They were caught off guard and lost several thousand elite soldiers.
Especially the explosive weapon just now, it was terrifyingly powerful.
But looking at their appearance, it is obvious that they have run out of them, otherwise they would not have sent out the archers.
Thinking of this, Gu Xizi slowly began to rush forward.
Seeing this, Lu Baoping slowly felt relieved.
It seems that he has fallen into the trap.
Then he picked up another piece of dynamite and held it in his hand, while also preparing a fire starter.
"Everyone listen up, charge..." Gu Xizi pointed at Lu Baoping on the slope and shouted.
He was already furious at this time. There were only a thousand people, but they still had more than 20,000 elite cavalrymen.
He just doesn't believe that he can't defeat you, Lu Baoping.
"Lu Baoping, I will tear you into pieces today..."
Lu Baoping on the slope didn't say anything, just looked at Gu Xizi and then lit the explosives in his hand.
Look at his position and throw it hard...
"There are weapons..."
"Run away..."
Gu Xizi naturally saw it, but by the time he wanted to escape, it was too late.
Because the black round thing landed right in front of his horse...
"boom......."
When he reacted, his eyes widened...
Then, it was blown up...
After that, I went to sell salted duck eggs, haha...
As soon as Gu Xizi died, the fate of the Yiman Tatars was just as Lu Baoping had imagined, a mess.
I want to retreat, but I dare not.
Fortunately, there are still a few centurions who can be used.
However, when Lu Baoping on the slope saw that they had the situation almost under control, he gently raised his hand again.
Captain Zhang understood and immediately lit the explosives and threw them towards the center of the barbarians...
"boom......."
There was a loud bang, and not only did everyone panic, but the scene that had finally calmed down suddenly became chaotic again.
Seeing this, Captain Zhang on the slope suddenly became excited.
"Captain Lu, I didn't expect this explosive to be so powerful."
"I didn't expect that either!" Lu Baoping said with a smile.
When we were testing it that day, the effect wasn't that obvious yet.
At that time, General Chen said that he wanted to make further modifications to increase its power.
Now it seems that this is more than just a slight increase in power.
Looking at the six remaining explosives in his hand, Lu Baoping calmed down instantly.
"Captain Lu, do we need to continue?" Captain Zhang on the side said excitedly.
He didn't expect that the ambush would be so successful.
You know, they are very close to the barbarians and Tatars. Although they have explosives, the quantity is limited.
