"You can already hear the cry of killing!" Lao Cui pointed to the front and said with a smile on his face: "It seems they are still resisting."
"Speed up!" Tang Ping ordered. After getting off the boat from the dock, he still had to walk a mountain road to reach the mining area.
But being able to hear the sound now is the best news.
Tang Jun sped up and climbed over the hill to have a panoramic view of the mining area.
This mining area is a nearly circular mine, and there is a pass to the north, where a battle is taking place.
People in the mines wear all kinds of clothes.
"We've caught up." Tang Ping took a look at the terrain. The opponent could only attack from that pass, and the Tang Dynasty and the Tianzhu people occupied the high points on both sides of the pass, so the Arab army could only advance risking their lives with their shields in hand.
Relying on the absolute advantage in numbers, they fought anxiously with the people guarding the pass.
"Guo Zhen, bring your people to suppress the enemy with fire, suppress the enemy, and then ask the people inside to evacuate from the way we came."
The pass was narrow, and the three hundred sailors led by Guo Zhen all had fire muskets. The three-stage salvo was extremely powerful in this terrain.
The wooden shields of the Arabs could block bow arrows, but they could not block musket projectiles.
The red battle flag of the Tang Dynasty was raised all over the sky.
The sharp-eyed people in the mine screamed excitedly when they saw this flash of red.
"It's coming, it's really coming."
"It's the Tang Army. Our Datang Army is here!"
"It's saved, we're saved!"
Looking at these Datang troops, although they only numbered a few hundred, in the eyes of these Datang businessmen, they were a symbol of invincibility.
As soon as they arrived, it seemed as if all dangers were at hand.
Raja Sri also saw the Tang army. She winked at a guard, who nodded, and then used two groups of soldiers to separate the Tang merchants in the mine, leaving a passage in the middle. .
Tang Ping only thought that this was a passage reserved for Guo Zhen's sailors, but he didn't think much about it and followed with his men.
Guo Zhen led his people to the front. Upon seeing this, Wang Yuan went up, made a military salute, and briefly described the current fighting situation.
Guo Zhen nodded and said: "Okay, you ask your people to withdraw. We will temporarily suppress the enemy, and then take the opportunity to withdraw from here and go to the Wulong River."
The Tang Dynasty's three hundred navy troops lined up and pressed towards the pass. Wang Yuan had already asked someone to seal the last remaining kerosene in a jar and throw it outside at this time.
The fire once again blocked the Arab army's attack.
Jafar smiled slightly: "Can this flame save you? In the name of Allah, after the flame is extinguished, attack with all your strength!"
He is also an experienced general, and he knows that the opponent cannot last long under such a high-intensity offensive, and has basically reached its limit now.
As long as he waits for the flames at the pass to extinguish and then lets his men charge desperately, he will definitely win the battle.
There wasn't much kerosene at all, and it gradually went out after burning for a while.
Jafar smiled cruelly and shouted loudly: "The first one to rush in will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins and promoted to the next level!"
"By Allah, charge!"
There must be brave men under the heavy reward. These Arab soldiers can also feel that the defensive force inside is gradually weakening. Now is the best time to attack.
But when they rushed to the pass again, they found that the people inside had changed.
If it was a ragtag crowd with everyone at the beginning, now there are two rows of soldiers standing inside, wearing neat metal armor, shining with dazzling silver light.
And they didn't actually have knives or guns in their hands, but a black pipe.
These Arab soldiers were also battle-hardened veterans. Although the opponent looked strange and seemed to be very strong, they did not panic at all.
After all, they had seen many powerful armies. Didn’t the Egyptian army and the Macedonian army all fall under their scimitars?
So they began to charge.
Guo Zhen looked at the Arab soldiers rushing over and shouted: "Let them see what our Datang's fire suppression is."
"Team one! Shoot!"
"Team 2! Shoot!"
"Team Three! Shoot!"
Although there are only three hundred people, it is just right to guard such a pass.
The three-stage shooting of a team of one hundred people directly stunned the Arab army, which was the first time they encountered such an attack.
At first, the Arab army behind them didn't notice anything was wrong. They just charged desperately under Jafar's heavy reward.
But when he rushed, he found that he could hardly rush anymore. There were corpses on the ground, but he
But they didn't make much progress.
Just when they were hesitating and panicking, Guo Zhen ordered again: "Grenade suppression!"
The entire Qiongzhou Naval Base's good goods were given to these three hundred navy troops. After all, in addition to picking up people, they also had to protect Tang Ping's safety.
Everyone has a few black knots hanging around their waists that look like ponytails.
This is exactly what Datang made after the horsetail grenade used during the Anti-Japanese War in China.
This kind of grenade has a loop on it, wrapped with rope, cloth strips or other fiber belts, to keep it stable while flying. This shape is like a horse's tail, so it is called "horsetail grenade".
In order to ensure that the grenade maintains its posture in the air and that the trigger plate in front of the grenade can hit the target and detonate the grenade, a ponytail needs to be installed.
This In addition to the shrapnel that will explode on the outside, the explosive inside is also mixed with some broken porcelain and iron fragments.
In such a small place, the power is quite impressive.
At first, when the Arab soldiers saw such small black lumps thrown by the Tang army on the opposite side, they were a little confused.
Such a small stone has basically no power unless it hits the vital part of the head.
In addition, there is a "horsetail" tied on the back to fly slower, and some Arab soldiers even want to use their weapons to block.
Well, now, the earthen grenade that was supposed to explode after landing was hit by the trigger plate in the air and turned into an airburst mine.
The shrapnel scattered in the air was terrifying. The Arab soldiers below had no idea that there was such an attack method. Even if they had shields in their hands, they were held in front to try to resist the projectiles of Tang Dynasty's fire cannons.
After a rumble, piles of Arab soldiers fell dead outside the pass, and those who were still alive screamed and wailed loudly.
The Arab soldiers charging behind were all shocked, especially those who encountered two explosions yesterday, and their horrific memories began to be brought back.
"By Allah, they still have things that can explode. Be careful, the things they throw will explode!"
Although the bounty is large, you still have to have the life to spend it.
This terrifying and unknown attack method made all the Arab soldiers afraid to take another step forward.
Guo Zhen also let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, each of the three hundred men of his own was carrying two or three muskets for such a desperate attack. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to defend.
