Chapter 10 Defensive Performance

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, firearms accounted for one-third of the equipment, but in the face of the Tartars were still repeatedly defeated, the key reason is this, often the Tartars have not yet entered the effective killing range of 50 meters, they can't withstand the pressure of the bow and arrow, and they have opened guns to shoot, and then when loading, the Tartars took the opportunity to rush and kill, and were defeated!

"Lord Ezhen, there are no traps on this road!"

Some Tartar soldiers found that there was no sinking on the main road, and hurriedly shouted to Aobai.

The surrounding Tartar soldiers listened, and they didn't need to be commanded at all, so they rushed to the main road, and rushed straight to the fort gate, Aobai instinctively felt a little bad, but it was too late.

"Bird Gunner, salvo~!"

"Bang ......"

"Bang ......"

With a burst of shouts on the fortress wall, more than a dozen tongues of fire erupted suddenly, and one after another.

The Tartar soldier has a round shield covered with cowhide, and has good defensive performance in the face of bows and arrows, but in front of the lead bullets shot by the bird's gun, it is like paper paste, as long as one is hit, together with the Tartar soldier who raised the shield, he will immediately fall down.

Ao Bai watched as his soldiers rushed to the fort gate in a pile, as if they had been cut wheat, falling down in rows, almost wanting to vomit blood in distress!

"Good, good fight!"

"Brother Rui'er's bad idea really worked!"

"Haha, dog Tartar ......"

The young men on the fort wall couldn't help but be shocked when they saw that dozens of people were killed and injured in an instant by the Tartars.

There is no doubt that this is another bad move by Li Rui, deliberately leaving a relatively safe road, so that the Tartar soldiers can subconsciously gather, so that the bird salvo can exert the greatest power!

"Despicable Han dog."

Ao Bai roared angrily, and the leading soldier held his own pig iron shield, leading a dozen Bayala soldiers wearing dark red iron armor to rush straight to the castle wall and throw hook locks at the castle wall.

The fortress wall of the Great Reef Fort is only two feet, and with the bravery of the Red Armor soldiers of Bajala, there is no need for a ladder at all, and under the cover of the bows and arrows of other Tartar soldiers, you can climb up by following the hook and lock!

"Get out of the way."

Li Rui held the vicious gunpowder bag weighing seven or eight catties after adding bits and pieces, squeezed out the military households who wanted to cut the hook and lock, lit the medicine twist and threw it at the red armor soldiers under the fort wall.

The red-armored soldiers thought it was a stone and subconsciously dodged, but when they saw that it was just a big cloth bag, they climbed the wall with a scimitar in their mouths.

"Everyone, get down~!"

Li Rui shouted again and pulled the military household next to him to lie down.

"Boom !!"

A loud bang erupted, and flames and black smoke rose into the sky, mixed with a sharp whooshing sound, all of which were bursting with broken porcelain and rotten iron nails, and the ruined fortress walls shook a few times.

"Boom !!"

A loud bang erupted, and flames and black smoke rose into the sky, mixed with a sharp whooshing sound, all of which were bursting with broken porcelain and rotten iron nails, and the ruined fortress walls shook a few times.

As for the red-armored soldiers outside, the wails have reached the castle walls!

"Gross~!"

After a young man poked his head out and looked out, he leaned against the wall and vomited.

The red-armored soldiers outside the wall, a few closer to the explosion point, have turned into charred black stumps and broken arms, intestines, internal organs and other things are covered all over the ground, even if Ao Bai has fine iron armor and pig iron shield to protect his body, his shoulder has also been shot into a rotten iron nail, and he can't get up after lying on the ground for a long time!

"Bang~!"

Li Rui raised his gun and shot a red-armored soldier who was staggering up, and shouted at the young men who were still in a daze around him: "What are you doing in a daze, throw bricks and stones down, and smash Li Rui to death!" ”

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Qing Zhuang suddenly came back to his senses, and immediately picked up the prepared bricks and stones, and smashed them on the red armor soldiers who were still struggling outside the fort.

Ao Bai endured the sharp pain in his shoulder, rolled on the spot, and dodged the masonry that smashed at him, but the other red armor soldiers who were still alive were not as good as him, and they were hit by the masonry one after another, screaming and spurting blood.

Li Rui, who was on the fort wall, noticed Ao Bai wearing fine iron armor, and guessed his identity almost instantly, and immediately held a gun in both hands and shot at him again and again!

"Ding Ding Ding~!"

Ao Bai escaped and hit still hiding his body behind the pig iron shield, and the pistol bullet that was not very powerful burst out of sparks on the iron shield.

Li Rui emptied a half-full magazine, stunned that he didn't hurt him at all, but Ao Bai had already fled into the Tartar array.

"Bird gunner, shoot Li Rui at that team of Tartars!"

Li Rui changed the magazine while pointing to the Tartar shield array that was protecting Aobai, and shouted.

"Bang ......"

"Retreat, retreat!"

Ao Bai saw that the soldiers in front of him fell a few more in the sound of guns, and finally couldn't help but give the order to retreat.

This battle is too embarrassing!

I thought that the small military fort could be taken down with a single drum, but I didn't expect that the defense was so tight, the interlocking traps, the extremely sharp firearms, and the powerful and terrible thunderbolts all made people despair.

The most hateful thing is that the Han dog will still have the torch outside, but the fort wall is pitch black, the bows and arrows that the Manchu warriors are good at can't be used at all, and there are no rockets available in a hurry.

If you don't retreat, I'm afraid that my more than 200 robes will have to be explained outside the castle wall!

……

The Tartars came and fled quickly, and in a quarter of an hour at most, they left more than fifty corpses outside the fort and fled within a hundred meters of the fort wall in disarray.

"Haha, the dog Tartar has retreated."

"Tartars are nothing more than that!"

When the young farmers saw the Tartars retreating, they couldn't help shouting excitedly, and they had a lot of contempt for the Tartars between their words.

"Don't be arrogant......"

"This is Brother Rui's trick by the Tartars, otherwise it won't be so easy to retreat!"

"Don't forget how they died."

The young men of the military households, who had learned the Tartar bow and arrow, hurriedly explained loudly, so that they should not get too excited.

When the young farmers heard this, their excitement suddenly cooled.

After all, they had seen several corpses of military households placed in the fort, all of which were killed by the Tartars' bows and arrows.

From this, it is not difficult to imagine that if Li Rui hadn't ordered him to throw out the torch and extinguish the bonfire just now, he would have killed many people with Tartar bows and arrows, and even so, it was not that Qingzhuang was shot by Tartar bows and arrows!

Thinking of this, all the farmers turned their attention to Li Rui.

If they were still suspicious of Li Rui's ability before, then now they are more confident, and they are convinced in their hearts that Li Rui can lead them to defend the Great Reef Fort!

"Hurry up and send the brother who was hit by the arrow to the fort, let the women bandage their wounds, and the others should be sentry, and those who should rest should take the time to rest...... It seems that the Tartars will not be withdrawn for a while. Li Rui ordered in a coherent voice.

"No~!"

The young men sang loudly in high spirits, and several people who were wounded by arrows were carried into the fort by their companions.
