Chapter 216 (Fourth Update, Asking for Subscription)

Pulled by hundreds of Qing soldiers, the boat was getting closer and closer to the riverbank, and not far from the bank, there were also densely packed Qing troops, wearing heavy armor, they were either holding ropes to pull the boat, or holding sharp blades, ready to jump over at any time. At the same time, the sound of strings was deafening, and thousands of arrows rained down on the ship, but only in an instant, and the side guards and the cabin roof were full of feathered arrows.

The ship that was stopped by the crossing seemed to have lost its resistance, and the mortar in the bow could not fire at the side of the ship, so the gunners could only hide behind the guard and huddle their bodies, waiting for the last moment to come.

The Qing soldiers on the shore wearing heavy armor all opened their eyes wide and red, like bloodthirsty beasts, and wanted to rush to the boat and kill all the Ming dogs on the ship, they believed that with their own martial arts, as long as they killed the boat, the Ming soldiers on the ship would be like rags and rotten vegetables, let them cut and kill, they noticed that only half of the people on the boat had armor, and the others were wearing sheepskin clothes.

It's close!

In the blink of an eye, the distance between them was shortened to a dozen paces, and the people on the boat were also nervous, they watched with their eyes as the boat was taken to the shore, and under the rain of arrows, they had no chance to cut the rope at all.

Hu Shoujin, dressed in full iron armor, stood on the slipway, turning a blind eye to the rain of arrows falling on his body, and he could see from the telescope that the artillery team of Jiannu in the distance was desperately approaching the riverbank. He could even feel the muzzle of the black hole, which was gradually pointing here.

But he still stood there, motionless, letting the rain of arrows fall on his armor with a crisp sound.

Dongyu!

Dongyu!

The Donglu on the river bank is clearly visible, and it can even be seen that Li Guoan, as the general's protector, feels that his heart is beating desperately in his chest, his fingers are numb, his legs are weak, although the iron helmet on his head is cold, but his forehead is still dripping with sweat.

Looking at Daniel Zhang on the side, although the iron helmet protected his face, the long knife in his hand was trembling, and he could hit his feet at any time.

"Brothers, listen well, if the husband dies, he will die, what is there to be afraid of."

Following the general's side, Liu Qiren couldn't help but remind loudly again.

"Huh!"

The nervous crowd at the bulwark let out a muffled roar, and they regained their spirits, their weapons in hand, staring at the front with their eyes fixed, and occasionally arrows shot into their armor, causing them to fall to the ship in a scream, and the moment they fell, they were dragged into the cabin......

"Listen up, minions, go up and kill all the Nikans on the ship......"

Niu Lu Darhan shouted loudly, and he was warlike by nature, not even wearing a helmet, but walking around the formation with his bald head on his head, shouting, and a six or seven inch long rat's tail wagging behind his head.

In fact, there is no need for his encouragement, most of these Jiannu have already shouted excitedly, they stared at Minggou's boat with red eyes, eager to kill it now, and kill Minggou on the ship......

Finally, dragged by the flying hook, the out-of-control boat approached the river bank in every possible way.

"Ready! Impact ......"

At the moment when the boat pulled and hit the river bank, the people on the boat shouted, and they grabbed the ropes and guards on the side of the gunwale, but in fact, the impact was not strong, but it just made the boat shake a little.

Almost instantaneously, Darhanti slashed with his sword, and behind him, hundreds of trapped Jiannu infantry shouted with swords and guns, and under the cover of the archers, rushed to the riverbank, shouting and trying to jump onto the gunboats that had been pulled to the river.

"Kill, kill......"

Darhan, who had taken the lead, approached the riverbank, and when he was only fifty or sixty paces away from the riverbank, he saw that the Ming dogs in the Ming boats were all standing up, and they were standing behind the guards, and in their hands they were holding - birds?

Because of the proximity, he could even see the mouth of the black hole. In the next moment, he saw a cloud of white mist.

A cloud of white mist was accompanied by a muffled sound like a popping bean, and the gun rang out!

The Ming troops behind the ship's side parapet finally stopped fighting back, and they took their muskets and aimed at the nearby Jiannu and pulled the trigger.

Thousands of lead bullets penetrated the heavy iron armor on Jiannu's body in an instant, and some of the Jiannu who rushed to the front were of course taken care of by the focus, and were suddenly beaten into a sieve, and for a while, those Jiannu who were originally rushing to kill immediately fell down.

They only have one round!

When this thought came to Durhan's mind, he did not see the musketeers behind the bulwark, and immediately after a round of firing he handed the gun to the open hatch, and the brothers in the cabin took it and handed him a musket, and in the cabin three or four musketeers waited, waiting to be loaded, and handed their muskets to their comrades.

The moment he took the musket, Li Liang's right thumb pulled the hammer to let it into the ready position, and then aimed at it...... The moment the crosshair pressed against Jiannu, he pulled the trigger. With a violent backseat, a white mist erupted from the muzzle.

It only took a few rounds of firing to cover the ship's side with smoke, but the smoke easily dispersed under the wind of the river, and although the smoke was filled, it could not block their view.

For them, the line of sight seems to be the only problem, but for Jiannu who is exposed to the gun, these few dozen steps, like a death zone, when they try to rush over, but they only lose their lives in vain, the scorching lead bullet easily penetrates the armor on their bodies, knocking them to the ground, and the blood gushing out from under the armor instantly stains the ice and snow on the ground, and for a while, the snow is crimson......

Although the Qing army's rain of arrows would always hit some unlucky guys, under the protection of the bulwark, most of the time, the only thing that hindered the shooting was the speed at which the brothers in the cabin could reload.

"Quick, quick-reload......"

Every time a musket was dropped into the cabin, the brothers in the cabin would shout loudly, and they stood in the cabin, calmly reloading their bullets, and the two-inch thick planks above their heads resisted the rain of arrows, but they knew what would happen if they did not reload as soon as possible, and when Jiannu was killed on board.

Everyone moved very quickly, they took out the paper-wrapped bullet from the cowhide cartridge box on their waists, tore the paper shell and poured the musket into the muzzle, and after the gunpowder was poured, they quickly stuffed the paper ball wrapped in the bullet into the muzzle, and then stabbed it with a strip, and finally pressed the fire cap......

"Be on time for me, kill one more Jiannu ......"

They shouted loudly as the guns were stuffed out, but even so, their speed seemed to be a little slower, and after paying the price of blood, the Qing army finally reached the bank of the river......
