Chapter 154: Heavy Riding VS Grenade
As soon as the Madame Merry entered the port, she saw the members of the Macau Council and the Francois soldiers standing on the pier, and as long as these soldiers were taken, Macau would be at the mercy of the Changxing Army like a girl stripped naked.
Therefore, the Changxing Army made a plan to lure the members of the council onto the ship, and then falsely ordered the destruction of the Franc Ji garrison.
What Alan didn't expect was that those garrisons would be so cooperative with their actions. At this juncture, a rebellion was launched, which gave the Changxing army a chance to kill them.
Looking at the Francophone man who was forced over in a neat line, Allen's heart felt sad for no reason. Once upon a time, I also thought that the natives of the Ming Dynasty were vulnerable, and only when I really fought with the Changxing Army did I know the strength of the Changxing Army.
Looking at the Franc soldiers who were still moving forward after walking sixty steps, Alan decisively ordered "Fire!" ”
Bursts of gunpowder smoke rose from the firecrackers in the front row of the Changxing Army, and the soldiers of the Changxing Army who had finished the fight didn't take a second look at it at all, they turned around and walked like the back row.
The second platoon of musketeers immediately stepped forward and raised their muskets in the general's command to continue firing at the enemy.
At first, Mason was still rejoicing at the stupidity of the Ming indigenous army, which was armed with the latest arquebuses in Europe.
The limited range of this arquebus was only about seventy-five meters, and the greater armies set the distance of engagement at fifty meters.
There are also some troops who can withstand the enemy's fire and walk to 20 meters before firing, such a distance is equivalent to shooting the fire gun against the opponent's head, which is definitely a test of the soldier's willpower.
Mason's envisioned engagement distance was fifty meters, and at that distance his soldiers could easily kill every Ming soldier. And the inferior firecrackers produced by the Ming Dynasty have no lethality at all at this distance.
They could easily use arquebuses to name the Ming soldiers one by one, and as long as the Ming indigenous soldiers could not bear the pressure and collapsed, he would win the war and win control of Macau.
His idea was beautiful, but reality hit him hard. The opponent's firearms opened fire after entering a hundred meters, and they could kill and wound a large number of his soldiers at such a distance.
Major Mason watched his soldiers fall to the ground as if they were about to cut wheat, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
When did the indigenous people of the Ming Dynasty have such an advanced firecracker? Who are the indigenous?
But at this distance, their guns were not very lethal at all, and he had to travel at least twenty meters under the blows of the enemy.
He knew what virtues his men had, and they weren't professional soldiers. It's all some villains and hooligans, in case they can't withstand the pressure and collapse, they have to expose their hole cards in advance?
Fortunately, the pride of the Europeans allowed them to survive the twenty-meter distance of death, and they were finally able to open fire after paying more than 100 casualties.
The sparse sound of guns came from the hands of the Francophiles, and because of the uneven ranks of the fire guns of the Changxing Army's attack on the Macao garrison, their fire appeared sparse and unimposing.
Zhang Dou was also nervous about whether his Changxing Army could withstand the pressure of being shot in line, and for the Changxing Army, who had never experienced this kind of pressure, this was a test for them, and it was a necessary process for them to completely transform into Changxingjun.
Fortunately, the enemy's counterattack was not so fierce, and only a dozen Changxing gunners in the front row were shot and fell to the ground. The soldiers in the back row quickly stepped forward to fill the gap of the fallen soldier and continued to shoot at the Franco.
These soldiers of the Changxing Army are not rookies who have been beaten out of the tense connection strips at the beginning, and their fear of death is not so strong after several major battles.
With the experience of shooting heavy arrows with Jiannu, and encountering tactics such as queuing up to shoot, they can also cope with it easily. What's more, the counterattack of the Franc machine man is much less powerful than Jiannu's heavy arrows, at least the Franc machine man will not shoot people's necks and faces.
Xu Lianshan muttered non-stop after firing the first gun. "Red-haired ghost! Is Uncle's buckshot good? Wait a minute, uncle, I'll give you a taste......"
"Bang!" With a bang, a lead bullet slashed past Xu Lianshan and hit the shoulder of a soldier beside him.
Although the cuirass stamped out of Immortal Island did not fully defend against the impact of lead bullets, it also slowed down the speed of lead bullets. The lead bullet only made a small hole in the soldier's shoulder, and it didn't hurt the bone.
The soldier: "Ah! He hugged his shoulders and squatted on the ground.
Xu Lianshan kicked the soldier down with one kick, and scolded loudly: "The big fart is like killing a pig, if you don't die, you should hurry to the back and bandage it, don't stand in the way here!" ”
He said to the soldiers of the Changxing Army as he aimed: "You are afraid of a fart!" With this armor, even if he is hit, he is at most injured, and he is a good man who is alive and kicking for two days. The red-haired ghost on the opposite side is different, which gun is not seeing flesh and blood. Three more rounds will break them up, brothers! ”
His words lifted the spirits of all the soldiers of the Changxing Army, yes! If you can't die, you're afraid of a fart!
The morale-boosting Changxing arms gun was more accurate, and after two more rounds, there was not even half of the Franc machine left. Fifty percent of the casualties completely collapsed the Macau garrison, and they no longer wanted to control Macau, and they no longer thought about the amazing wealth!
At this moment, they just want to live, no matter how much wealth they have, they have to have a life to enjoy, and without life, everything is a floating cloud.
Major Mason's face was also ugly, he didn't expect that the Ming Indigenous Army was not only equipped with more advanced guns than them, but also had extremely tenacious willpower.
More than a dozen rounds of queues of shots did not allow a single soldier to escape, and such an army can be regarded as a strong army in Europe.
Where did Carrasco get such a group of soldiers? The rout of his own team caused Mason to retreat as well, and he looked behind as he ran.
Sure enough, just as he had expected, the troops pursued in the direction of their retreat. It was time to throw his hole cards, and with that in mind, Mason pulled out a small horn and blew it vigorously in his mouth.
The sound of the small horn is not as deep as that of the big horn, but there is a high-pitched voice coming out.
Then the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and a tall group of fifty horsemen, fully armored heavy cavalry, rushed towards the docks. These cavalrymen were armed with spears, and their bodies were covered with plate armor all over their bodies, and even the horses were dressed in armor in important parts.
They rushed towards the pursuing Changxing Army like steel monsters.
These cavalrymen were Mason's cards, and they were all Polish mercenaries recruited by Mason from Batavia at a high price. These people are the real top combat power in Europe, although the appearance of muskets has made their living space in Europe smaller and smaller, but dealing with scattered infantry is their specialty.
Xu Lianshan was leading his team of 100 people to pursue the rout of the Franco, when suddenly the sound of horses' hooves rumbled in front of him, and he immediately realized that there was still a cavalry in Macao, who had fought many times with Jiannu.
He immediately asked the soldiers to prepare their defenses, and the spear and shield men quickly removed their shields from their backs and came to the front row of the line to form a defensive formation.
As the sound of horses' hooves approached, Xu Lianshan finally saw the cavalry in front of him clearly. The horses of these cavalrymen were tall and strong, and they were hunched with fully armored riders, and they could run like flies in armor.
With this size alone, this strength is not comparable to that of a diminutive Mongolian horse, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a Pegasus.
Without hesitation, these war horses rushed towards a hundred-man team in front of Xu Lianshan, and they only paid two war horses to break through the defense of the hundred-man team.
A one-sided massacre ensued, despite the bravery of the hundred-man soldiers. They hugged their horses with their flesh and blood, but they still couldn't stop the footsteps of these heavily armored cavalry.
With the addition of these cavalry, the retreating Franco-Robot finally stopped the rout. They regrouped and fought back towards the docks.
Looking at the cavalry getting closer and closer, Xu Lianshan's palms were full of sweat. He shouted: "Grenade ready!" Blow up these iron lumps! ”
"Rumble!!" The grenade exploded in front of Xu Lianshan's array, "Don't stop!" Keep throwing forward, quick! Throw all the grenades out! Xu Lianshan loudly commanded the sword and shield men in the rear to throw grenades.
