Chapter 1425 Shield Car
"Your Highness, what do you mean?"
Mu Tianbo looked at Han Yu in shock.
"That's right, just find Wu Sangui and kill him."
Han Yu didn't want to waste too much time with Wu Sangui. The whole world was waiting for him to conquer, and it would not be appropriate to waste too much time here.
"I will send out scouts tonight."
Mu Tianbo sent out spies overnight to go back along the same route that Hu Guozhu came.
At dawn, the spies returned.
"Report to the Duke, the thief Wu Sangui has indeed come out of Chuncheng, leading 20,000 troops along the route of Hu Guozhu. There are scouts all along the way. We are afraid of being discovered, so we dare not get close."
"This bastard Wu Sangui arrived really quickly."
Mu Tianbo frowned.
"It doesn't matter. It's just right that he's here. If he was hiding in that turtle shell in Chuncheng, it would be really hard to deal with him. Now that he's out, he shouldn't go back."
Han Yu stood up.
"Your Highness, do you want to set up an ambush along the way?" Mu Tianbo asked.
"Wu Sangui was cautious throughout his life. Scouts were stationed around the army. Ambushes set along the way would surely be discovered. Let them come in directly. However, dig a deep pit at the entrance of the valley, bury explosives, and leave a fuse outside. After Wu Sangui is defeated, light the fuse and catch him in the urn. Don't let anyone escape."
"Yes, sir."
Mu Tianbo immediately ordered people to do it.
A large amount of gunpowder was buried on the road leading to the village, with fuses placed in bamboo tubes extending far away to ensure that Wu Sangui's scouts would not discover it.
After doing all this, Mu Tianbo arranged defenses on the village wall and gave everyone ten times the palm mines and explosives, determined to eliminate Wu Sangui and his men.
Wu Sangui had a large number of troops, but they marched quite fast. By the afternoon, the scouts had already discovered Mujiazhai.
"General, we have spotted remnants of the pseudo-Ming dynasty, the Mu family, ahead." The scout reported.
"People from the Mu family?" Wu Sangui narrowed his eyes slightly. Chuncheng was originally the base of the Mu family. After he occupied it, he had many dealings with people from the Mu family. Both sides had wins and losses, and many people were killed and injured.
He also has a deep hatred for the Mu family.
"Can you see it clearly?"
Wu Sangui asked.
"Marshal, look carefully, it is indeed the remnant of the Mu family, the flags and clothes are indeed the same."
Exploring the road.
"The army is on the march to destroy the Mu Family Village!"
Wu Sangui waved his hand.
"yes!"
An army of 20,000 set out towards Mujiazhai.
Mu Tianbo was already on full alert.
When I saw the smoke and dust rising in the distance, I knew that Wu Sangui had arrived.
"Everyone, get ready. We must accomplish our mission this time. We must not let that bastard Wu Sangui escape!"
"yes!"
Everyone in the First Legion responded in unison, began to check their equipment, and prepared for battle.
Soon, Wu Sangui's army appeared outside Mujiazhai.
Looking at Mujiazhai, Gao Dejie rode out and said, "General, there is no need to bother with this village. Give me a squad of soldiers and we can flatten it in a few moments."
"The national pillar disappeared in this area. Don't be careless. I will give you 5,000 troops. You must capture the leader of this bandit alive and get to the bottom of it."
Wu Sangui pondered for a moment and decided to play it safe.
In his opinion, five thousand men and horses could flatten the Mu Family Village to the ground even if they charged straight ahead .
"Yes, sir." Gao Dejie led five thousand troops out of the army, formed a battle array and slowly advanced towards Mujiazhai.
"This bastard is really cautious. What should Your Highness do?" Mu Tianbo asked.
"Even a mosquito's legs are meat, so let's sacrifice 5,000 people first."
Han Yu said.
"yes."
Mu Tianbo asked the gunners to get ready.
Gao Dejie was more cautious than Hu Guozhu. He did not send his men to charge directly into Mujiazhai, but instead asked everyone to take out their bows.
Gao Dejie prepared to test the coverage with bows and arrows. He believed that no matter how well the enemy was deployed, they would not be able to turn the tables in front of his absolutely superior troops and with the rain of arrows covering them, right?
But the Flying Thunder Cannon taught him a solid lesson.
Boom, boom, boom!
A series of roaring sounds were heard.
The soldiers led by Gao Dejie thought it was thunder, and many of them looked up at the sky, but the sky was clear blue without even a cloud. How could there be thunder on such a clear blue day?
Then they saw a sky full of explosive packs flying overhead.
Boom boom boom!
A large number of explosive packs exploded above their heads, and shock waves vibrated back and forth, shattering their internal organs. All of them vomited black blood, fell off their horses, and became corpses.
The same thing happened to the horses, they became corpses before they could even make a sound.
This time, Mu Tianbo deliberately placed Gao Dejie closer in order to blow up all of them.
The Flying Thunder Cannon did not disappoint him. After two rounds of coverage, only corpses were left on the battlefield, and no living people were to be seen.
This scene shocked Wu Sangui, and his Guanning Cavalry were also shocked.
They fought all the way from Shanhaiguan to Chuncheng, and even went deep into Myanmar. They traveled all over the country and fought with everyone, but they had never seen such a strange weapon. Just two rounds of volleys, and five thousand troops were wiped out?
Even the brave and warlike Guanning Cavalry could not help but retreat.
Many people began to take small steps back.
Although they were fearless and brave, that was the time when they were pursuing a career. In order to get promoted and make money, they were willing to risk everything, even mountains of swords and seas of fire.
But now that they have a family business and money, they no longer have that courageous spirit.
If you know you will die, you will never rush forward.
"The rear team becomes the front team, and the army slowly retreats."
Seeing this, Wu Sangui decided to stay put for a while, go back to study, and then find a way to destroy the Mu Family Village.
The situation in front of us is strange, so we shouldn't rush in.
"This bastard has indeed begun to retreat. Your Highness is wise."
"Stop talking nonsense and follow your highness's plan."
"yes."
The gate of Mujiazhai was opened, and a number of modified shield vehicles were pushed out.
The shape of this shield cart is rather strange, like a huge shield wall with sharp swords mounted on it, wheels underneath, and soldiers pushing it from the back. When a row of them appears in front of people, it still gives a sense of oppression.
At that time, the Eight Banners soldiers wore double-layer armor and pushed this thing to charge the city, which had extremely strong protective capabilities.
Han Yu improved this thing by adding pedals on it and stationed a lot of grenadiers on it, each holding boxes of grenades.
Behind the shield cart was the flying thunder cannon pushed by a small cart. The First Legion slowly pressed towards Wu Sangui's army.
"Marshal, the enemy is coming, what should we do?" Wang Pingfan asked.
Wu Sangui took a look and snorted coldly: "They are just infantrymen. They can't catch up with us. We will make plans after we get out of the valley."
Although Wu Sangui didn't say anything, a shadow rose in his heart, and he instinctively felt that something was wrong.
