Chapter 289: The machine gun is fierce

Okodu followed the team and galloped wildly, the strong wind hung his bangs, and on the left and right were the soldiers who had followed him for many years, and they fled from the shelling according to the order, which was the manifestation of his reasonable strategic and tactical arrangement.

Okuodu was refreshed, because of the current distance, the Song army might not be enough to fire more shells, because any further delay in time might be a devastating blow to them.

The gallop on horseback made Aokuodu's blood boil, the solid ground of the Southern Song Dynasty seemed to run faster than on the prairie, how far the war horse could run, how big the territory of the Yuan Dynasty was, and south of the Yangtze River, it was bound to be conquered under his own leadership!

"Get ready to shoot." Zhao Rui raised his eyes and looked at the distance of the Yuan army, which was currently five or six hundred meters, which was within the accurate range of automatic rifles and Mauser shooting.

Zhao Rui was still packing up the Makqin machine gun on the side, while Zhao Gong had already shouted a slogan on his side.

"Ready, salvo!"

When the first shot was fired, the cavalry in the front row inevitably fell in a pool of blood, and the mournful whistle sounded in the ranks of the Yuan army.

The formation of the Yuan army changed immediately, and the cavalry on both sides were moving closer to the middle, and in this process, the cavalry that fell in front could no longer trip the team behind, and at this point, the approach was undoubtedly very correct.

At this time, the cavalry at the front did not take the normal route, but ran the route of the small "S", which also avoided the obstacle of the casualty cavalry to a certain extent.

Another hundred meters forward.

Zhao Gong was holding a Mauser rifle at this time, this new type of gun, as a general, it was necessary for him to use it carefully, and only after fully understanding it could he come up with more suitable tactics.

Now the formation of the Yuan army seems to be in response to the musket fire, although there are constantly Tartars falling, but they are all on the outermost side of the line, and each of them, I don't know how many shots have been shot.

This reduced the damage to a certain extent, and Okudu saw that the strategy was effective, and gradually slowed down his horse, and by the middle and rear of the group, he was the commander-in-chief, and he needed to see the whole situation and give the right orders to the soldiers at the first time.

Now the situation is very good, and it is dozens of zhang forward, the speed of the Yuan army's march has not slowed down at all, and it will not be long before they can rush into Zhao Rui's army, and the scimitar will reap their lives.

Zhao Gong was keenly aware of the purpose of the Yuan army's formation, and their speed was unhindered on the one hand, but what made Zhao Gong extremely worried was that the firing speed of the Mauser rifle was too slow!

Accustomed to automatic rifles, and then using a bolt rifle, it is simply unbearable to be slow.

Zhao Gong pulled the bolt again after firing a shot, and the hot bullet casing popped out, and when he was about to shoot the next shot, he ran out of bullets.

Worst! Forget that you can only hold five shots!

Zhao Gong took the bullet into his arms, turned his head to look at Zhao Rui, and saw that the young master was still fiddling with the machine gun unhurriedly.

The bullets pressed into the chamber of the gun one after another, and Zhao Gong couldn't help but shout eagerly: "Young master! The Yuan army is getting closer and closer, what should we do! ”

This was a battle that Zhao Gong had never encountered, the enemy's absolute superiority in numbers, the formation for musket attacks, and the speed they had never slowed down, all made Zhao Gong unstoppable.

At the moment, he really doesn't know what to do!

"Steady, keep shooting!"

Zhao Rui's voice was not loud, while answering Zhao Gong, the other soldiers also heard it clearly, it seemed that Zhao Rui's tone naturally carried a kind of calming magic, and for a while, everyone's mood calmed down a lot, and the shooting became more accurate.

At this time, mortars were no longer useful, Xiong Er led a group of mortars to pick up Mauser guns to shoot, these artillerymen have also undergone daily devil training, and their marksmanship is also excellent.

At this time, the formation of the Yuan army was regarded as receiving some resistance, and Ao Kuodu, who was at the back of the team, also shouted loudly, "Steady, steady!" This is to be expected.

As the distance grew, their musket shots became more accurate and the obstacles grew, but Okot was confident that they were not far from victory.

Almost within range of the bow and arrows, Okodu picked up his whistle and blew a long note.

The soldiers of the Yuan army all knew that this was going to be shot with bows and arrows.

The Mongols of the steppes were able to steer their horses skillfully, even with both hands, so that they could operate the bows and arrows that each of them was equipped with.

"Young Master! They're going to shoot arrows! ”

Zhao Gong's chest rose and fell, the psychological pressure at this time is really not something that ordinary people can resist, in case they shoot a salvo of ten thousand arrows, and their side only cares about shooting, there will be a lot of damage.

"Young Master!" Zhao Gong shouted again.

"That's it!"

There was a sound of metal clashing, Zhao Rui had already installed the bullet chain, and the other nine Makqin machine guns were also lined up on the same horizontal line.

These soldiers had been exposed to machine guns last night, so the time for them to complete the debugging was even shorter than Zhao Rui's.

"Zhao Gong, let the people in front shoot and retreat!"

Zhao Rui's words made Zhao Gong's mind settle down a lot, at this time Zhao Rui was the backbone of the entire army, and the orders he gave were mainly to follow them.

Zhao Gong and the soldiers in the front row retreated while firing their guns as they said, which affected the efficiency and accuracy of their shooting to a certain extent.

The Yuan army in the front row had already seen it clearly, they only felt that the pressure had been reduced a lot, and they even reported loudly: "Zhao Rui's army is retreating, and it is retreating!" ”

Ao Kuo, who was following the team, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, was Zhao Rui's army retreating? That's great!

For the tactics of the cavalry, the retreat of the place was the beginning when they could let go of the slaughter.

Zhao Rui, this time I will make you doomed!

There was a raging war in Ao Kuodu's eyes, he was bound to slaughter Zhao Rui's army this time, so as not to leave any more troubles for the Yuan Dynasty.

Next...... By the way, the next step is to directly attack Xiangfan and destroy their remnants, but I heard that the walls of Fancheng have been built, and they should still have to wait for the troops to return to the artillery.

Victory was imminent, and Okuo couldn't help but start thinking about his plans after the killing.

Zhao Gong and the group of soldiers in front of him gradually retreated, and the Yuan army officially entered the range where they could shoot with bows and arrows, but they were surprised to find that behind the people who let them out, a row of black muskets appeared.

These muskets were much larger than normal muskets, and seemed to be heavier, so heavy that they could only be used on the ground, with two men behind each musket.

What kind of musket is this?

Although they were surprised, no one bothered about this matter, their bowstring had been opened, and a moment later it would be the death of Zhao Rui's army.

At the same time, Zhao Rui ordered: "Machine gun salvo!" ”

"Tuk Tuk ......"

Ten Maxim machine guns erupted in furious flames.

The soldiers on Zhao Rui's side obviously felt the difference between this machine gun, first of all, the sound, compared to other muskets, the sound of this machine gun was more powerful.

In addition, the kind of fiery bullet chain that can be seen is even more surprising.

At this time, some soldiers were shocked by the strong recoil and hit the bullets into the sky, and they also adjusted according to the bullet chains that could be seen, as long as the muzzle of the gun was depressed, those bullets would still obediently fly into the ranks of the Yuan army.

Zhao Rui was very happy at this time, since he came to the Song Dynasty, he has been restricted by the amount of ammunition, although he has won a lot of cities, but he will always have some scruples when he shoots.

Now it's different, with such a long period of accumulation, coupled with the continuous financial support of the sale of cloth, there are already millions of ammunition in reserve.

In addition, Zhao Rui also arranged for people in Wanya Prefecture to imitate the bullet production line, with the purpose of increasing production and producing large-caliber bullets.

"Tuk Tuk ......"

The canvas belts of the ten machine guns are constantly moving, firing countless bullets that never seem to stop.

The barrel of the gun soon became hot, and the stirred steam whirred out.

The Yuan army was directly defeated.

The Tartar soldiers in the front row who were ready to shoot arrows were already dead, and the ones behind continued to attack, but there was no sign of advancing at all.

The ten machine guns seemed to draw an invisible horizontal line in front of the Yuan army, and even the best iron cavalry could not rush through this line.

Bastard! What a musket is this!

Okodu was stunned, and he could see clearly behind him, although the cavalry gathered together resisted the musket fire at first, but after this non-paused musket fire, the bullet still had the effect of penetrating.

More and more Yuan troops fell, war horses fell, and stumps and broken arms continued to fly.

The power of this musket is simply terrifying.

"Quick! Scattered! Scattered! ”

But Okodu's roar was directly drowned out by the salvo of machine guns, and the soldiers in front could not hear his shouts at all, so they could only fall in a pool of blood one by one, bearing the one-sided slaughter with their bodies!

That's right, the whistle.

"Toot ......"

Okodu blew his whistle violently, two short and one long, which was a signal to disperse the ranks.

When the soldiers received such a signal, they also seemed very relaxed, because it was futile to gather together, it was better to disperse, and they could avoid the attack of some bullets.

"Tuk Tuk ......"

The shooting of the machine guns did not stop because of the change in formation, but because of the change in formation, the machine guns easily fired at the cavalry behind.

It's just a battle that can't be solved!

Ao Kuo was a little cold, but after all, the number of teams was huge, and after they dispersed, there were some troops close to Zhao Rui, maybe, maybe things would take a turn for the better!

At this time, the chain of bullets where the machine guns were gathered in one place was scattered, which did reduce the casualties of the Yuan army to a certain extent.

However, the scattered formation provided Zhao Gong with a good target for their rifles, and they demanded the lives of the Yuan army one by one.

Oh my God......

Okuodu looked at the casualties of the team, at least more than half, the 400,000 troops brought this time, is it going to be defeated like this?

Unwilling, really unwilling, how did a new type of musket appear on Zhao Rui's side, which had never been seen in the previous intelligence!

However, at this time, the impact of the Yuan army finally reaped the benefits, and they shot bows and arrows in a hurry, which caused a certain obstruction to Zhao Rui's army, and at least hundreds of people were hit by the arrows of the Yuan army.
