In the battle of Mengjin, the terrifying power of Jiangning's firearms has long been deeply imprinted in Li Zicheng's heart, and the reason why he used nearly 10,000 men and horses to deal with such a small team this time is that in addition to inspiring the morale of the army, the most important thing is to hope to eliminate the nightmare in his heart.

"See, rushed up, the people of Li Zhanglu's brigade rushed up!" There was an excited voice next to him, and many people next to him began to cheer, in their experience, with the strength of the Ming army only a hundred people, as long as their own men and horses rushed to the front, collapse is a matter of minutes.

When everyone's eyes showed a look of excitement, they only heard a loud noise in front of them, accompanied by a burst of white gunsmoke, and Jiang Ningjun opened fire. Li Zicheng and the others only saw a surging fire burst out in front of them, and a large stream of dense gunpowder smoke instantly filled into a long white dragon.

With a terrible scream, Li Zicheng and the others clearly saw that a group of people immediately fell in the front row, as many as thirty or forty people.

Seeing a burst of blood mist rising in front of them, and the screams were earth-shattering, the old thieves who had experienced the Mengjin War couldn't help but shudder, as if they had returned to the scene of being hit head-on by the overwhelming iron beads and lead bullets that day.

Even Li Yan, who has always maintained a calm attitude, was suddenly shocked in his heart, is this the firearm that the Jiang Ning Army relies on to dominate the world, and it is too powerful.

"Grandma's, the firearms of the dog officers and soldiers are so good?"

Even Liu Zongmin, who was originally preempted by Li Laiheng and was still a little indignant, was taken aback when he saw the scene of the Ming army firing at first glance.

Although the rogue generals who were watching the battle in the back were bystanders, they still had a feeling of panic.

And Li Laiheng, who is the party concerned, is not to mention, looking at the rogue who Qi brushed down, his heart was tight, and then shouted loudly without thinking: "The fire of the dog officers and soldiers can only hit this, and the big guys are on their shoulders and slaughter these dog officers and soldiers." ”

"I'm afraid, continue to rush to Lao Tzu, who dares to stop Lao Tzu and chop him alive!"

In the middle of the ranks, the well-protected old thieves played the role of supervising the battle at this time, and they held their weapons high and kept shouting to order the rogues around them to continue to rush forward.

In front of them, the young and strong people who had been shot fell to the ground, and because of the characteristics of the shotguns, although the wounds on the bodies of these people who were shot were very large, they could not die for a while, and these people all rolled on the ground and wailed in pain.

Early lead bullets are different from modern bullets, soft lead bullets will quickly deform and tear the wound after hitting the human body, and at the same time, it will also multiply the pain, such pain even Liaodong Jiannu, who was famous for their ferocity and bravery, can not endure, let alone these young men who have only been trained for a few days.

In fact, if it was the former Manchu Jiannu who was fighting with the Jiangning army now, they would definitely use the shield car, heavy shield and other objects as cover at the first time, and then let the archers hide behind the shield car and suppress the Ming army on the opposite side with bows and arrows, and finally use infantry soldiers to attack the Jiangning army's military formation, so that it is possible to defeat the opponent's military formation.

But there is a premise here, that is, you must send elite men and horses, otherwise you will not be able to endure casualties while not fearing death.

Well, that's a really hard thing to ask.

The Liukou who walked behind looked at his companions who were lying in front of them and kept screaming, and their hearts trembled, especially many people who howled and stretched out their hands to them, as if they were begging their companions to give them a good time, such a scene was too shocking for them.

Even the old thieves who played the role of the Overseer were terrified at this scene, and many of them hid behind the young and strong outcasts, and while using their bodies to cover themselves, they drove them forward with trembling voices, and when they encountered those who retreated, they immediately slashed down with a single sword.

"Hurry up and rush the dog officers and soldiers' firearms have already finished a round, don't let them change the medicine, hurry up!"

Li Laiheng in the back shouted loudly.

"Bang Bang Bang"

As soon as he finished speaking, another burst of gunfire rang out, and dozens of the rogues who had already passed the corpses of their companions fell in the gunfire.

"His grandma's, how is this bang-bang"

A third round of firecrackers rang out again, and dozens more of them fell in pools of blood.

"Three-stage strike, this is Daming's three-stage strike"

Li Yan, who was in the rear, looked at the gunpowder smoke rising in front of him, his face was very ugly, three-stage shooting was actually not a rare thing, it had been invented as early as the Hongwu period.

At that time, the Ming army still used arquebuses, which relied on the arquebus to ignite the gunpowder The rate of fire is relatively slow, and it takes about a minute to put a shot, so in order to give full play to the characteristics of the arquebus, maintain the smoothness of the firepower and deter the enemy, the Ming army invented a three-stage shooting.

Of course, the Brown Beth Musket equipped by the Jiangning Army is much more advanced than the arquebus, and it takes half a minute if it is slow, but it usually only takes about fifteen seconds to complete the reloading process for a skilled musketeer.

For the officers and soldiers of the Jiangning Army, the Brown Beth Fire Gun has long been a part of their daily training and life, as long as they are sergeants who have been in the army for more than half a year, the reload speed is not less than fifteen seconds, especially after the three-stage attack, there will be a salvo almost every few seconds. Ah Ding once watched the video of foreigners shooting with breech guns, and calculated that their shooting speed was twenty seconds, but they were just ordinary people, and fifteen seconds was no problem for professional veterans.

In this way, with a force of only 100 out of the capital, and with the convenience of the terrain, they forcibly blocked the rogue commanded by Li Laiheng at a distance of seventy or eighty meters from them, and could not advance half a step.

"I'm damn it, everyone rushed forward for Lao Tzu. And all of you will go up to me to supervise the war, and whoever dares to be afraid will be killed. ”

After getting Li Laiheng's order, the old thief guards who were originally around him immediately stepped forward, and the leather whip in his hand was drawn towards those young men without a head, and when they saw the people who turned their heads and fled, they immediately drew out their long knives and cut down, seeing that the people behind them were so cold-blooded and cruel, the young men who originally wanted to retreat had to continue to rush forward.

The first row of Jiangning army sergeants on the hillside immediately squatted down after shooting, took out the paper charge bag from the medicine bag on his waist, tore open the mouth of the fixed paper bag with his teeth, poured a little gunpowder into the powder pool, and then stuffed the remaining gunpowder with the gunpowder with the paper bag into the muzzle, and after two strokes with the pestle, the pass bar was inserted back under the barrel.

After all this last night, they waited for the command to shoot, when a long voice came from behind.

"The first row of 10,000 enemies is ready!" （）
