0369 Advance with a shot on the head
Another firecracker fell down with his thigh in his arms, letting out a burst of screams. The firecracker behind him dodged the two fallen men and quickly stepped forward to fill in the gap. The team continued to move forward with firm steps. To be honest, being hit at such a distance has no other reason than bad luck.
Five more steps forward, the third row of iron cannon shots fired. This time four people fell. A man was hit in the right shoulder by a stray bullet, and he sat there holding my wound tightly and waiting for help. The other three people writhed on the ground for a while, and then staggered to their feet again, staggering to keep up with the line and standing in the back row.
It turned out that the lead fired by the iron cannon hit their plate armor, and the plate armor blocked it and did not penetrate it! Although they blocked the lead, the huge impact knocked them to the ground! That huge impact force also hurts the human body a lot! It is estimated that a broken rib or something is indispensable.
But it's a pity that this scene was blocked by the fire handman who was filling the position with his body! Didn't let the iron cannon on the opposite side of the ashigaru see it, otherwise their morale would drop even more! The three men clutched their chests and ran back to the middle of the group, causing a small commotion. The surrounding soldiers saw that these three people had been hit by lead and followed up intact, and the morale of the team couldn't help but be greatly boosted!
At this time, the three rows of iron cannons had already been fired, and they were all nervously reloaded in place. Qi Qitao took the opportunity to wave his sword loudly to boost morale, and at the same time slightly quickened his pace.
By the time the Jiading's team approached the Iron Cannon Foot Light less than sixty paces, they had already reloaded. The first row of iron cannons, Ashigaru, under the command of the samurai, raised the iron cannons and began to aim. At this time, the Iron Gun Ashigaru already felt a little uneasy. Because the team on the opposite side had not taken the ship off their shoulders until now, they just walked straight and straight. This tactic they had never seen before, and it made them feel a lot of pressure.
Under the command of the samurai, the first row of iron cannons was fired! A large line of lead flew through the open space between the two teams and pounced on the enemy. Seven people were knocked to the ground. Only one of them was hit in the face by a lead and fell to the ground and struggled for a moment to die. Among the other people, four people staggered to their feet and followed the group again. The remaining two wounded were lying in place waiting for rescue.
The men continued on their way, meeting the muzzles of the iron guns. The second row of iron cannons was fired! Five people fell in the ranks, and only three were able to get back on their feet.
At this time, the Iron Cannon Ashigaru was already feeling panicked. The iron cannon in the third row did not wait for the samurai to command, and one person fired the iron cannon in advance! Immediately take the others and fire the iron cannon together! As a result, the iron cannon was scattered this time, so only three people fell in the team! And all three of them were very lucky, the lead hit the plate armor and was blocked! In the end, they all followed the team.
It's no surprise that these plates protect against lead. Because these family members are all veterans, the plate armor that Liu Pei gave them is all custom-made from modern times. In terms of materials, it is very strong. In addition, the iron cannons and pipes of the Wa Kingdom were all made of the winding iron method, and the charge was relatively small. So it's hard to break down at a slightly farther distance.
Even in modern society, the heavy armor worn by knights in the Middle Ages could not be penetrated by bullets of a slightly smaller caliber. Not to mention these soft buckshots. In Napoleon's time, chain mail made by European craftsmen could protect against shots fired at close range. It can be seen that the armor-piercing ability of the fire gun at that time was very low.
These iron cannon ashigaru people are completely panicked! The opposite team marched silently as if they were not afraid of death, giving people a feeling of irresistibility! This feeling is like a big mountain pressing down on the eyes and hearts of the iron guns! They can't breathe! Even the battle-hardened samurai felt a hint of fear.
At this time, the mood of the two main generals can be very different. Liu Pei is very satisfied with the family members he has trained! A team that can continue to move forward with a fiery gun requires strict discipline. It takes a long time to train and have a strong sense of honor. At this time, Liu Pei could already conclude that his team had become an army!
But on the opposite side, Hidaka Kasama felt a huge shock! He has been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, and he has never seen such an opponent! Under the fire of the iron cannon, facing the enemy's gun, stepping on the drum, and advancing straight and straight towards the opponent's position. He was under the impression that there was no similar team at all. He couldn't help but define this team in his heart: a strong army!
The family members still walked slowly forward to the sound of the officer's trumpet, as if they were strolling leisurely. By the time they reached more than forty steps away from Iron Cannon Ashigaru, the heavy pressure had completely crushed the nerves of these Iron Cannon Ashigaru! They didn't wait for the samurai to command, and the converted ashigaru immediately picked up the iron cannon and fired! But how can such a hasty shot be accurate?
As soon as the first row of iron guns shot Ashigaru, the second row of iron guns shot hastily and hastily opened fire. Then came the indiscriminate shooting of the third row! The samurai who commanded the iron cannon Ashigaru remembered that it would not help to roar loudly! The three platoon guns fired very sporadically and did not form a salvo at all. The three shots were like someone suddenly setting off three firecrackers, and the sound dragged on for a long time!
This kind of chaotic shooting, the lead shot out of the barrage is simply a barrage, and there is no way to cause effective damage. So after three rounds of shooting this time, less than ten of the first row of the family members fell in total, and half of them got up to keep up with the team!
The iron cannon was fired, and the ashigaru men began to reload desperately. But by this time, their minds were no longer on the loading of iron cannons. As they reloaded their iron cannons, they looked up at their opponents from time to time. Causing their movements to be completely deformed! The reload time has also been completely extended.
Qi Qitao has been calculating the distance traveled on the right side. At this time, he found that he was getting closer and closer to the intended location! He shouted again, leading his men to quicken their pace.
The distance of just a few dozen steps was quickly crossed. Soon the men crossed the predetermined firing position and reached a distance of about fifteen paces from the iron cannon, and Qi Qitao shouted at the team to stop.
In ancient times, a step was one step on each of a person's left and right feet, and the sum of the distances taken by the two steps was called a step. It's about 1.2 to 1.5 meters. In other words, the distance between the family and the iron gun ashigaru is less than 45 meters! At such a close distance, Jia Dingmen can even see the opponent's facial features clearly, let alone aim and shoot!
Qi Qitao raised his sword and shouted, "Raise the gun!" ”
The officers passed the order down, and the servants quickly held the firearms resting on their shoulders in their hands. Qi Qitao shouted again: "Aim! ”
With a "bang", a whole fire gun was neatly flattened. The muzzle of the black hole was pointed at the iron cannon ashigaru on the opposite side. The iron cannon ashigaru is even more chaotic at this time, and the movements are even more chaotic! However, at this time, a small number of people hurriedly released the iron cannon after loading it! The results didn't work at all.
Qi Qitao swung the knife forward vigorously and shouted, "Shoot!"
The ladies pulled the trigger hard, as if they wanted to shoot all the pressure they had been on at this distance from the gun! Just listen to a loud "bang", and the fire will start! And the shooting of the family members was very neat, this round of volleys, the sound of more than a hundred guns condensed together, as loud as a cannon!
The fire bolt was fired, and the iron cannons on the opposite side fell down in a large row in an instant! The distance is too close, and the firecrackers used by the family are all modernly processed, with very high precision and good air tightness. Moreover, the imperial loan equipment worn by the iron cannon foot light is not steel armor, and it can't withstand the blow of lead bullets at all!
This row of buckshot almost knocked over half of the iron guns in the first row! Blood is sprayed everywhere! So when the first row of iron cannon Ashigaru screamed and fell, the second row of iron cannon Ashigaru was directly exposed! The second row of iron cannons Ashigaru, who was nervously loading, suddenly found that the people in the front row had fallen!
