Chapter 285: The Self-Generating Flintlock Gun Begins to Show Its Might

The thief army in the mouth of the government, that is, the so-called peasant rebel army, at this time they could not imagine such a humid weather, and there was a misty drizzle falling in bursts, and in the misty drizzle, from time to time there were crackling raindrops.

After the first row of musketeers finished firing, they crouched down and began to reload their ammunition, and then the second row of musketeers of more than 300 people began to shoot again, crackling and another volley, the white smoke dissipated with the rain and mist, and the thieves turned on their backs.

The second platoon squatted down after firing, and then the third platoon of musketeers began to shoot, each platoon was more than 300 people.

In this way, 1,000 rounds of ammunition are completed in one round of shooting, forming a dense continuous fire. In this way, after the first round of muskets of 1,000 new musketeers was fired, nearly 1,000 thieves had already fallen from their horses, and these peasant troops were suddenly in disarray.

They never dreamed that the muskets in the hands of the officers and soldiers had been updated at this time, and they were no longer the kind of mixed arquebuses composed of firearms, birds, and three-eyed guns, but unified self-generated flintlock muskets that had been remelted and transformed.

Moreover, this kind of self-generated flintlock pistol has also passed through the eyes of a special soldier like Lin Yi, in order to be able to not be affected in rainy weather, the place where the gunpowder is loaded on the cover of the gun, and the place where the spring hits the gunpowder have all been waterproofed.

Although the waterproof raw materials are some oilcloth and the like, it is not high-tech, and the gun will definitely not sound when you get it in the water, but the general rainy weather does not hinder it at all.

Therefore, these self-generated flintlock pistols, each shot is croaking, not to mention that in this drizzly and misty weather, even the pouring rain can still be fired.

These peasant armies did not understand the mystery, so they suffered. In the blink of an eye, there were dead and wounded, and the charging team was suddenly in chaos.

Hao Shaoqi saw that this thing really worked, seeing that the enemy was in chaos, he saw the opportunity and shouted, follow me!

Hao Shaoqi shouted and waved the big flagpole to urge the horses to rush forward, and the 10,000 horses rushed forward like a flood of embankments, and the musket battalion was in front, and at this time the bayonets were all up, rushing into the ranks of the enemy with a burst of stabbing and jumping. The more than 9,000 people behind then rushed up. The horse team was in front, and the foot soldiers were behind, and a charge killed the 20,000 cavalry in front of them, turned over on their backs, broke the army, and fled in all directions.

"Don't run! Resist me! ”

Li Guo and Liu Fangliang couldn't stop shouting at their subordinates, and personally killed several retreating generals with big knives and bright silver guns in their hands, but to no avail.

The two of them fought desperately, but with the strength of the two of them, it was difficult to reverse the defeat.

Hao Shaoqi personally charged, waving the big flagpole in his hand, and wherever the horse arrived, the peasant army fell to the ground. When you go down with a flagpole, you can knock over several, stab you with one shot, and you can wear several sugar gourds.

In the end, Hao Shaoqi and Li Guo were killed in one place, Li Guo's eyes were red, and he scolded to kill this traitor, Li Guo was known as a tiger, and he didn't want to die in battle, but Hao Shaoqi was also very brave, and the two of them killed a chess opponent, and it was difficult to distinguish for a while.

In the melee, Liu Fangliang rushed up to help, and fought Hao Shaoqi with Li Guo.

Liu Fangliang has a bright silver gun, so that the gods are elusive, ordinary people are not his opponents at all, this is also a member of Li Zicheng's fierce generals, after Li Zicheng became the emperor, he was named the commander of the formation battalion.

The three of them are inseparable, if other factors are put aside, it is difficult for Hao Shaoqi to deal with these two generals alone, but the current situation is that Liu Fangliang and Li Guo's men and horses have been defeated, and the two of them are here to the death, and there are only a few guards left by the two generals.

And Hao Shaoqi is a victorious general, and his men and horses are gathering more and more, so Hao Shaoqi is also more and more brave in battle, so the three of them are evenly matched.

But this kind of evenly matched scene didn't last long, and Li Guo and Liu Fangliang couldn't stand it. The guards around him were scattered by more and more officers and soldiers, and soon more and more officers and soldiers would rush up to help.

Li Guo and Liu Fangliang saw that the defeat was irreversible, and the two generals were invincible, so they had to open a bloody road and retreat together with the remnants of their soldiers.

Hao Shaoqi commanded the victorious soldiers to chase after him, chasing and destroying the remnants of the enemy, chasing out more than ten miles in one go, and arrived in the area of Zhaojiatun.

The area around Zhaojiatun is where Niu Jinxing's main force is, he took Yuan Zongdi and Tian Jianxiu's 80,000 troops, and just drove to Zhaojiatun, he got the news of the defeat of Li Guo and Liu Fangliang.

Niu Jinxing was taken aback, thinking that Lin Yi's men and horses came from afar, belonging to a tired division, plus there was no firearms to help, he sent 20,000 elite cavalry, plus the brave and good fighting Li Guo and Liu Fangliang, the two fierce generals, will definitely be able to make a good start, and then he will lead the main force to rush over, and he can kill the official army in one go, but he didn't expect his people to be defeated in the first burst.

It seems that Lin Yi's men and horses are really powerful, this is not Lin Yi's main force, but only the forward force.

Niu Jinxing now also knows that the main general in front is not Lin Yi, but Hao Shaoqi, a traitor to the peasant army. The generals under him are now gritting their teeth when they mention Hao Shaoqi, eager to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

In particular, Yuan Zongdi brandished an iron whip and screamed, wanting to lead people to rush up and turn the tide of the battle and kill this traitor Hao Shaoqi.

Of course, Niu Jinxing also wants to punish the traitor, he doesn't disbelieve Yuan Zongdi, this guy has a slightly dark complexion, and his strength is outstanding, this pair of iron whips bravely crowns the three armies, but he may not be much higher than Li Guo and Liu Fangliang in terms of bravery.

Niu Jinxing is thinking about another question now, in this rainy weather, why is Lin Yi's fire gun not affected, this is the fundamental reason why Li Guo and Liu Fangliang lost the battle, it is too incredible?

Niu Jinxing couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it. A few muskets are nothing, even if the red-coated cannons come, he is not afraid.

Niu Jinxing stabilized his mind, looked at the terrain here, and did not agree with Yuan Zongdi, you can't fight with a momentary bravery, the soldiers are fine but not many, and the generals are planning but not brave, he appreciates this sentence more, so he retreated with 80,000 horses......

Hao Shaoqi led the men and horses, and was chasing and killing, but the chasing thief army was gone, and in the mist of smoke and rain, the sky was vast outside, and the visibility was relatively low.

Hao Shaoqi thought about it, don't chase it, don't fall for the thief. He was about to stop and take a breath and ask how far the main force of Lord Lin was from here.

At this time, several cannons rang out, and ambushes broke out in all directions. The thief army seemed to have fallen from the sky, and as if they had come out of the ground, they were overwhelming, and rushed towards this little tunzi.

Niu Jinxing's 80,000 army set up an ambush here, plus the remnants of Li Guo and Liu Fangliang who retreated, they had long since stopped running at this time, but turned around to rush and kill, and the thief army added up to nearly 100,000 horses.

The shouts were earth-shattering, and the thief army in all directions could not see the edge at a glance, and then the arrows in the air were denser than raindrops, and they attacked the officers and soldiers together, and for a time the officers and soldiers were hit by countless arrows.

Hao Shaoqi's team was suddenly in chaos. Hao Shaoqi didn't see it well, so he quickly organized forces to break through, but good, Hao Shaoqi only had 10,000 horses, and it was easy to break out of the encirclement of Niu Jinxing's 100,000 ambush soldiers?

Although the new-style musket battalion is invincible, the bullets of the 1,000-musket battalion are also limited.

In the end, Hao Shaoqi's men and horses were trapped in Zhaojiatun, and Hao Shaoqi fought from morning to evening, and the more he fought, the more anxious he became. The more anxious he is, the more he scolds, of course, scolding him for being useless. Sun Chuanting was trapped over there and hasn't been rescued yet, and here he is trapped again, what kind of pioneer is this for Lord Lin? would rather die in battle than fall into the hands of thieves, Hao Shaoqi led his men and horses to fight desperately......

Together with the captured prisoners of the Gezuo battalion, Lin Yi's direct force reached 70,000, and 10,000 remained in Jingzhou. Now Lin Yi has 60,000 troops under his command, He Renlong took 10,000 and took a detour to save Sun Chuanting, Hao Shaoqi's 10,000 is the vanguard force, and then remove more than 10,000 people and horses in the grain and grass supply battalion and artillery battalion, and now the actual strength around Lin Yi is less than 30,000.

Hao Shaoqi's men and horses exchanged fire with the thief army, and Lin Yi certainly got the news, because the two sides were only more than 20 miles apart.

Lin Yi asked the troops to speed up the march, and walked out of more than ten miles, that is, more than half an hour later, the news of Hao Shaoqi's victory came, Hao Shaoqi's victory was won, and the new musket battalion exerted its power for the first time, Hao Shaoqi's 10,000 horses killed the thief's 20,000 cavalry, and Hao Shaoqi was chasing and destroying the remnants of the enemy with his men and horses.

When Lin Yi heard the news, he was only half happy, he looked at the rainy and misty weather and the vast land outside, and learned that it was Li Guo and Liu Fangliang who were defeated by Hao Shaoqi in front of him, and knew that these two people were wise and brave people.

Lin Yi immediately ordered someone to send a letter to Hao Shaoqi, asking them to stop the pursuit, and the forward troops should not be too far away from the main force, so as not to fall into the trap army.

How do you know that the person who delivered the letter left in a hurry and came back quickly, and what he brought back was the news that Hao Shaoqi was trapped in Zhaojiatun. Niu Jinxing has 100,000 horses, planning to eat Hao Shaoqi's team in Zhaojiatun.

Sure enough, Lin Yi was right, Li Zicheng sent an army of 100,000 to deal with him, and the main general was Niu Jinxing.

Lin Yi heard the news and ordered the team to stop. There are dead bodies all around, and it is obvious that this is Hao Shaoqi, and the men and horses of Li Guo and Liu Fangliang have fought here. It is 20 miles away from Zhaojiatun.

The problem now is not only to save Sun Chuanting, but also to save Hao Shaoqi, who are trapped in two places.

To save Hao Shaoqi, how can Lin Yi's 30,000 horses deal with Niu Jinxing's 100,000 people? Over there, He Renlong's 10,000 horses want to relieve the siege and save Sun Chuanting, can they succeed, and where are Li Zicheng and his old camp? The master of the 100,000 horses will be Niu Jinxing, but this is definitely not all Li Zicheng, these are the problems that Lin Yi has to think about and face.

In the game of chess in front of you, if you make a wrong move, you will lose the whole game. Now in the first encounter, even if there are winners and losers, it is a draw. How should this battle be fought next? The situation in front of him was a little unfavorable to him, and Lin Yi needed to calm down and think about it.

The rainy weather blocked his vision again, and now he was ascending, and he couldn't see too far with the help of a telescope.

Lin Yi spread out the military map, and a few personal soldiers were pillars, and temporarily set up a small tent to cover the drizzle like a needle tip and the heavy raindrops that fell from time to time.
