Chapter 543: Depressed Li Guo (Second Update, Ask for Subscription)
From river to shore!
Although the cavalry led by Li Guo counterattacked with bows and arrows from time to time, the range of the flintlock musket bow was much closer, and most of the bows of the Dashun army were quite inferior, and even inferior to the inferior soldiers, the effective range was about 50 meters, or even less than 50 meters, and compared with the bow, the effective range of the flintlock pistol was as high as 100 meters, and about 70 meters could often accurately hit the target.
Although they were caught off guard by the muskets, they immediately returned fire with their bows and arrows, and as soon as they released the arrows on their side, the ancestors on the boat on the other side fired a round of fire.
"Boom!"
With a burst of gunsmoke, he suddenly knocked over the dozens of horses rushing in front.
Before they could react, there was a second round of volleys, knocking over more than 100 riders one after another.
And then there was a third salvo......
Directly knocked over more than 100 rides.
For the Dashun army, they may have come into contact with the firearms of the official army, but where have they encountered this kind of tactics? I have never encountered an officer or soldier with such a sharp firearm.
After all, the officers and soldiers they encountered at that time were only using bird guns, or even three-eyed guns. Where do you know how powerful the flintlock pistol is.
For a time, in the face of such sharp firearms, they could not chase or escape.
After all, the enemy is on the boat, and they are on the shore, what is there to chase without a boat, is it possible to jump into the river like this to feed the fish?
Of course, there is no need to escape, after all, the officers and soldiers are standing on the boat like that, and they have no intention of coming ashore at all. But you can't just stand here and let the officers and soldiers fight.
Seeing that fighting like this was tantamount to giving away someone's head, Li Guo immediately said loudly.
"Go ahead, I don't believe that there is no bridge on this river! We're stopping them on the bridge......"
How could there be no bridge on the canal, in fact, just before the chasing soldiers came over, they had just passed the Bali Bridge, and further on, there must be a bridge.
"Uncle, the pursuers have withdrawn!"
"They didn't withdraw!"
Looking in the direction of the smoke and dust, Zu Dashou frowned and said.
"Are they going to the front to find the bridge? Where is there a bridge? The river will be narrowed, and they will not only be able to fire arrows from the shore? And also be able to put a net on the bridge? Put the row to block the bridge hole, Ming San? Where is the oil and firewood that I asked you to collect? ”
Zu Dashou, who is a veteran of the battlefield, doesn't believe that those people will retreat, why did they chase them all the way? Isn't it because you feel that the "emperor" is on board? That's why they will desperately chase after it.
Remove?
If they don't hurt them, they won't be able to withdraw!
……
The flintlock firearms fired gunshots like bursting beans, and the river was filled with gunsmoke. The ancestors standing on the bow and side of the ship are constantly shooting with flintlock firearms? Rogues on the shore and on the bridge? Clouds of smoke enveloped the fleet, and the side of the ship was full of feathered arrows on the door panels bought at high prices from the homes of the common people.
The river was filled with gunsmoke.
After the dense sound of guns, there was a shout of killing!
A group of Shun troops with white felt hats on their heads poured out from both sides of the river embankment? They hold the door in their hands and the iron claws that climb the wall? The river rushed up the river like a tidal wave, and then threw its claws one after another. Flying claws dragging ropes to the boat on the river? As soon as they got on the boat, they desperately pulled the ropes? Trying to pull the boat to the shore.
"Cut the rope!"
The housekeepers on the side of the board drew their knives to cut the rope? Meanwhile? The muskets of the others also fired, and with a burst of gunfire, the buckshots the size of chestnuts erupted from the muzzles of the guns, and smashed them into a sieve as they desperately connected to the ropes.
However, even so, those rogues still poured over like a tide, and they didn't take half a step back because of the sharpness of the firecracker, I have to say that these elites of the Shun army who went all the way from Henan to Shaanxi, Shanxi and the capital were all brave without exception.
"Thunder on the Heavens!"
Standing on the roof of the cabin, the ancestor of the great life ordered.
In return for their cooperation with the Pingyu Army, the Zu Jiajun not only obtained a large number of firearms, but also learned to make grenades according to the same pattern, but it was an early model of wooden-handled grenades.
Although as early as two years ago, the imperial court had obtained the patterns and objects of this early grenade, but the lag in the manufacture of weapons, especially the lack of funds, made the officials and soldiers in the Guannai not have time to equip this weapon in a hurry.
When watching a group of iron lumps flying in, the officers and soldiers of the Shun army, who were desperately pulling the ropes on the shore and trying to bring these boats closer, were all looking at these iron lumps with some confusion.
Why is it smoking?
In the next moment, with the sound of explosions, the firelight continued to explode under the feet of the Shun army, and for a time the smoke was filled, and the firelight was scattered, because of the quality of the lead, so nearly two or three and a half grenades did not explode at all, and the remaining grenades were one in the east and one in the west.
In the smoke of the explosion, hundreds of Shun soldiers on the shore were blown up by grenades, and then fell down screaming, their stumps and broken arms fell to the ground, and the wounded were covered with bleeding wounds. Those who were not injured by the explosion saw this, and the Shun army all retreated one after another.
"Shoot them, shoot them and don't give them a chance to escape the bridge......"
While the Shun army kept firing arrows at the boat from the rear of the river embankment, they also kept throwing trees, door panels and other objects from the bridge, blocking the bridge hole and blocking their way.
However, in this regard, Zu Dashou had already been prepared, seeing that the bridge was blocked, he immediately asked people to release a fireboat, and when the fireboat floated towards the bridge, he looked in another direction without worry.
If more people are killed, it will not be easy to escape!
At the same time, the arrows kept falling like raindrops, although when they were in Zhangjiawan, they got a lot of door panels, and the door panels also blocked a lot of arrows, but there were still arrows shooting in from the top of their heads or between the gaps in the door panels.
The feather arrows that flashed with cold light fell in the crowd and immediately splashed pieces of blood, because they were "mixed" into the capital in the name of the family, not everyone had a full set of Ming iron armor, in fact, there were only more than 300 people with full armor, and more than 300 people only had cuirasses, and the rest of the people had no armor at all.
For a while, the rain of arrows fell from all directions like a torrential rain, and such a blow lasted for a while, but it took the lives of dozens of people.
"Throw the earth-shattering thunder! Throw the earth-shattering thunder over ......"
In the rain of arrows, the ship's men could not reach the back of the river embankment with their firearms, but they still tried their best to throw out the grenades.
Hundreds of grenades were thrown onto the embankment a dozen or twenty meters away, and some rolled down the embankment. Immediately, a deafening explosion sounded behind the embankment. For a while, thick smoke billowed and dust flew, and there was a scream from behind the embankment.
The rain of arrows suddenly stopped, and the Shun troops hiding behind the river embankment retreated one after another to avoid the earth-shattering thunder that fell from the sky and exploded under their feet.
"It's a pity that I didn't bring the mother cannon ......"
The sub-mother cannon in Li Guo's mouth is the Franc machine, and a lot of battles have been captured along the way, but the cavalry rarely carries that thing, if it is with the sub-mother cannon, it will be as stalemate as it is now.
It was at the moment when this thought popped up in his heart that a team of cavalry came from afar, and after learning that his son was coming with a large group of men and horses, Li Guo immediately asked.
"Did they bring a child cannon?"
"Bring it!"
As soon as I heard that my son had brought a child and mother cannon, I heard that he had come over. You immediately asked excitedly.
"Where have they been? Where's the sub-mother cannon? ”
If there was a sub-mother cannon, how could he stand here like he is now, letting the officers and soldiers beat him?
Now it's good, with the sub-mother cannon, these officers and soldiers will not be enough to see, that is, sink into the river to feed the fish.
"However, it's all left to General Tang's side, and the young general led the cavalry down the canal to kill first!"
Get...... He came on horseback again. Hearing this, Li Guo's heart was blocked, why is this stupid son so confused, doesn't he know that what he needs now is not to ride a horse, but to be able to shoot a cannon to fire a ship!
