Chapter 68: Feng Shui Gunner
The second watch is here, ask for a red ticket! )
Not to mention what kind of chaotic scene inside the village, Xiao Tianjian outside has already set up a posture and is about to start attacking Zhuangzi, this time he first sent his subordinates to collect enough door panels and bed boards and other things, as a big shield, walking in front to block the bullets of bows and arrows and muskets, and provide cover for the people behind, and Xiao Tianjian accepted yesterday's lesson, in order to improve the defensive power of these big shields, wet some broken bedding collected from the tenants' homes with water, and put them on these big shields, so that the bulletproof ability of these wooden shields was greatly improved. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Eighth Route Army fought the devil's bunker, and then used the Eight Immortals table wrapped in a wet quilt to carry it towards the devil's bunker, which can effectively play a bulletproof role, not to mention the projectile of the musket in this era! Although in this way, the big shield has become much heavier, but as long as it can save his life, who cares about this!
After Xiao Tianjian arranged the covering manpower, he also let those people with muskets and bows and arrows follow closely behind, and under the cover of the big shield, he released guns and arrows to suppress the firepower of Zhuang Ding on the Zhuang Wall.
And the newly annexed people, whether Wang Tianlong's old department or those tenants, carried dirt bags and wood and other things, followed the big shield in front, attacked the side of the trench, and continued to fill the trench.
Although this method is stupid, it is still effective, only by breaking through the trench can they get close to the Zhuangmen, otherwise, they will not be able to pass through this trench alone, let alone lay down the Zhuangzi.
At the moment, Xiao Tianjian didn't think of a good way, so he could only use this stupid method to fight Fan Jiabao, and after a lot of tossing, this could be regarded as arranging various things.
As soon as he gave the order, dozens of men carrying large shields immediately set out, walked in front and advanced towards the trench, and the rest of the people immediately followed these large shields and rushed forward together.
As soon as the farmer saw that the pole had begun to move, they all made preparations, and as soon as the outside pole came into their range, they immediately began to release the guns and the arrows.
I could only hear the chaotic sound of ping-pong on the wall of the village, and the big shield in the hand of the person who walked in front of the shield immediately popped, and the bullet of the musket hit it, which was immediately blocked by the wet quilt on it, and it was impossible to penetrate these big shields, and the people hiding behind were much safer, so that Zhuang Ding could not stop them from moving on.
The person holding the shield still stubbornly carried the big shield, advancing step by step, covering the people behind him to follow them and continue to advance, this face was obviously much more orderly than when Wang Tianlong commanded, although Zhuang Ding worked very hard to release arrows and guns, but the overall threat to the people outside was not very great, and soon the big shield was moved to the outside of the trench, with Xiao Tianjian's order, the dozen or so musketeers and archers immediately stood up from behind the big shield, and after a little aiming, they fired at the village wall.
Before the departure, these musketeers were required to do a good job of loading, so after arriving here, they did not bother, they all raised their muskets, and the seven guns were very competitive this time, and all of them rang out at once, but there was no explosion, and several inferior archers cooperated with them to release arrows, but they overturned the two Zhuang Ding on the village wall at once, so that the Zhuang Ding exclaimed, and they hurriedly lay down under the female wall, and suddenly some did not dare to show their heads.
"Don't be nervous! Reload! It doesn't matter if you're slow, just don't go wrong! Xiao Tianjian followed everyone this time, carrying a big shield and rushing to the front, which was also the only way he could mobilize morale at the moment, otherwise, the new guys in the back would definitely not dare to take the risk and rush forward.
When he saw that after the musketeers let go of the guns, they all shrank behind the big shield, hurriedly reloading, Xiao Tianjian also saw that these people usually have a serious lack of training, although they can make this thing, but they are all very unskilled, and it is easy to make mistakes in this busy, maybe anyone will load more gunpowder, just this broken thing, it is difficult not to blow up the chamber, so he hurriedly said something to comfort them and let them not panic.
With Xiao Tianjian saying this, these gun-wielding people are really a lot more stable, and at the same time they are a little moved, if it is Wang Tianlong's words, I am afraid that not only will they not comfort them at this time, but maybe they will beat and scold again, and they must be urging them to hurry up.
After these people stabilized their minds, they no longer panicked when loading, and began to clean their chambers and charge in an orderly manner......
With effective fire support, it was much safer for those who were responsible for filling the trenches in the future, they carried all kinds of things on their backs, rushed to the edge of the trenches in one go, dropped their things and immediately ran backwards, the speed was orderly, there was no chaotic scene like yesterday, and some people even shouted and shouted something to do hard.
Originally, a section of the trench had been filled in yesterday, and it was dug up by Zhuang Ding at night, but after all, Zhuang Ding was also afraid of death, and it was rough at night, and the damage to the place that had been filled in was not serious, but two went back and forth, and this section of the trench was filled up again, and it was widened some.
When the Fan family in the village saw the scene outside, they were even more anxious, desperately urging those Zhuang Ding to get up and put their guns and arrows away, and repeatedly emphasized the matter of rewarding.
It made the Zhuang Ding people start to get up and resist again, the gunshots of the two sides of the Zhuangzi Ping Pong came and went, and the sound kept ringing, half an hour down, the two sides could be said to have their own injuries, relatively speaking, the people below were still more casualties, this is also a matter of no way, who let them be in a disadvantageous position! However, on the whole, this kind of price is still acceptable to Xiao Tianjian.
Seeing that a section of the trench had been filled in and the passage had been opened, Xiao Tianjian roared, and everyone immediately retreated.
After Xiao Tianjian counted it, this time there were less than five casualties in the trench, only one died, and the rest were minor injuries, and they were all handed over to Lu Langzhong for treatment, it is estimated that there is no danger, the cost of this kind of casualties is indeed completely bearable, and it did not cause any blow to their morale, but it also boosted their morale a little, but Zhuangzi also injured two or three, almost a tie.
This makes everyone feel a little more at ease, it seems that the gap between organized and unorganized is indeed huge, and the biggest gain is probably Xiao Tianjian, just now when he led people to cover and fill the trench, he commanded seven musketeers to shoot together, and as a result, he knocked down two Zhuang Ding on the wall at once, others didn't realize what the problem was, but Xiao Tianjian immediately realized a very important problem.
That is the problem of the tactics of the application of muskets in this era, both inside and outside the village are equipped with muskets, but yesterday, the musketeers on both sides are fighting separately, who wants to fire on the fire, the results are not ideal, as soon as the war starts today, Xiao Tianjian mistakenly commanded these musketeers to conduct a salvo to suppress the opponent's firepower, and the effect of the salvo is very good, and the Zhuang Ding was suppressed under the female wall of the wall, and also knocked over two Zhuang Ding, and then turned to fight separately, The musketeers did not achieve any further good results.
This made Xiao Tianjian suddenly understand why when he watched the movie before, when the Western army was fighting, the musketeers were stupidly lined up in several columns, and then collectively fired at the same time! It turns out that collective salvo is the most powerful way for the muskets of this era, and a single scattered fire cannot play a good role at all, and it also wastes ammunition in vain.
This experience is undoubtedly a very important experience for Xiao Tianjian, and even if he knew something that had not been tested in actual combat, he would not have a deep impression before.
"Musketeers and archers are here!" As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Tianjian immediately shouted loudly.
After hearing Xiao Tianjian's shout, the musketeers and archers didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran in front of Xiao Tianjian, but they were all newcomers and had no experience in queuing, so they huddled together in a chaotic manner, carefully waiting for Xiao Tianjian to speak to them.
Xiao Tianjian didn't have time to care about their queue at this time, this is something to talk about when he went back later, he immediately said to the dozen or so people: "You all heard it clearly for me!" When I went up again to fight later, you all kept in mind for me that after loading, including the archers, you must listen to my orders, and you must not shoot and fire arrows indiscriminately, but only fire together according to my orders! Don't ask why, just listen to me! If anyone dares to open fire without permission, beware of the batons! Do you hear that? ”
These people didn't dare not listen, and quickly nodded in agreement.
"And! I know you're not trained enough! But don't panic, especially when loading, it's better to fill a little less gunpowder than to fill too much in a panic, it's for your own good! It's okay to be slow, but it's important to be safe! Slow work makes fine work, you all know this! Remember them all! Xiao Tianjian then instructed them.
These people hurriedly nodded in agreement, they agreed with this very much, the musket is not safe, no one wants to be injured by the explosion, this explosion, under normal circumstances, hurts the face, and if it is not good, the eyes will be blown up, so Xiao Tianjian asked them to do this, and they are still very happy to listen.
"Besides, who is responsible for fiddling with that tiger squat cannon? Stand out! Xiao Tianjian asked them again.
An emaciated middle-aged man with a yellow and burnt mustache on his chin stood up and hurriedly responded: "If you go back to the plate, it's a small tube!" ”
Xiao Tianjian glanced at this person, and his impression of this person was not very good, on the whole, he had an impression, that is, obscene, very obscene, he always felt that this person's eyes were flickering, not like an honest person, but he also knew, "What is your name?" What did you do before? ”
The man hurriedly bowed and replied, "Back to the plate!" The little one is called Huang Shengqiang! It used to be ...... It used to be! Hey! That's not a good thing to say! The small ones used to show people Feng Shui! ”
"Palm the plate, this guy is not looking at feng shui! This guy used to dig people's ancestral graves! Someone answered behind Huang Shengqiang's back and said in a mocking tone.
Xiao Tianjian immediately understood, this Huang Shengqiang turned out to be a tomb robber, no wonder he didn't want to say it, the reputation of this tomb robber is really too bad, he is not treated anywhere, and ordinary people simply look down on people who do this business, so when everyone looks at this Huang Shengqiang, they all squint their eyes and don't want to see his posture.
Huang Shengqiang was very unhappy that someone exposed his old background, turned his head and stared at the person who spoke viciously, and scolded: "Lao Tzu didn't dig your ancestral grave, what the hell are you talking about?" ”
Xiao Tianjian immediately shouted: "Shut up!" Brother Huang, I don't care what you did before, and I won't look down on you because of this, I will hand over this tiger squat cannon to you in a while, and you aim for me! It's up to you whether you can pour it in this time! ”
Huang Shengqiang hurriedly didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, as long as the plate takes down the drawbridge, the small iron will definitely be able to blast the door open!" ”
Xiao Tianjian nodded and said, "That's very good!" I'll give you five people, you take them to prepare, and once the drawbridge is lowered, you will shoot at the village gate for me! Bang the door open for me! ”
Huang Shengqiang hurriedly agreed, and happily took the five people arranged by Xiao Tianjian to run to start preparing the tiger squat cannon, only to wait for Xiao Tianjian to lead people to knock down the suspension bridge.
