Chapter 78: Firearms at the end of the Ming Dynasty
Pengzhou soldiers easily defeated the white dragon, the people were in high spirits, what did the soil tyrant say in the past, the three heads, six arms, green face and fangs, just a fight was completely different, the platoon gun was released two rounds in a row, the opponent's formation was chaotic, and those who were coerced to come were strong like frightened birds fleeing in all directions.
On the battlefield, the Pengzhou soldiers ordered the whole line to attack, and the squadron was constantly rushing back and forth as a unit, and it was difficult for the opponent to gather for resistance.
After chasing all the way for more than a mile, seeing thousands of local thugs in front, the trumpeter blew the rallying horn, and the various squadrons quickly assembled, and then outflanked them with steps.
Standing in front of the queue, raising the monoculars and scanning it, a smile appeared on the corner of Yang Lin's mouth, and he said to Yang Cheng and Long Zhijiao beside him: "Although there are many people and many people, most of them are just coerced people.
Most of the opponents wore tattered cotton clothes and cotton pants, some even wore single clothes, most of them held steel drills, hoes, and axes, and only a few wore cotton armor and held regular weapons.
First bombarded with a swarm of bees and tiger squats, then lined up three rounds of guns to disrupt the opponent's formation, and finally rushed up to defeat the opponent. ”
As soon as everyone heard the claim, Yang Lin waved his hand, Wu Dazhu pushed out three tiger squat cannons from the rear, and five swarms walked at the front of the queue, facing the shouting crowd, stepping forward.
The Black Tiger King shouted high and fired back, and some archers shot desperately, but most of them were soft bows, and although they shot very far, the crosshairs were very poor, and they didn't have much strength to fall.
Seeing the officers and soldiers approaching step by step, there were three tiger squat cannons in front, five swarming rockets, and rows of infantry in the back, holding the bird guns that had been lit in both hands, approaching step by step under the command of the general, not afraid of the constantly falling bows and arrows, the black tiger king Gao felt that something was wrong, turned his head to look, and saw that the strong men around him had begun to retreat.
The other party is getting closer and closer, a hundred steps, ninety steps, and the strange thing is that the other party did not fire at all, and a clear command came from the opposite side, and everyone stepped forward step by step.
Feeling that something was wrong, Wang Gao suddenly pulled out his sword and commanded everyone to rush out.
Seeing the Pengzhou soldiers approaching calmly, everyone was frightened, and now when they saw the attack order, everyone rushed over.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually hit at close range, Yang Cheng stood in the front row and ordered:
Tiger squat cannon aim, ignite!
Aim and ignite!
The first row aims, put!
Second row aim, put!
The third row aims, put!
……
The sound of gunfire was bursting, although there were many dead and wounded, but because the gunpowder was very slow to load, and the two sides were very close, in the face of the swarming local rioters, the musketeers did not have time to reload the gunpowder, and in the face of the rushing local rioters, the musketeers in the front row had to put on their guns and spur to charge, with the assistance of the grenadiers.
I thought that the most powerful thing on the other side was just a musket, but just after a close fight, I realized that this musketeer was different, they put bayonets on their birds, and used them as spears, and a team of dragons rushed back and forth to kill.
Although there are many people, most of them are strong people, not only are they weak, but they also have no military training on weekdays, and they dare not meet the battle when they see the soldiers coming and scattering everywhere.
The Pengzhou soldiers are completely different, all bird guns are covered with spurs, which can not only release guns, but also can be killed in close combat.
There are also Pengzhou soldier armor, most people have cotton armor protection on their chest, back and shoulders, and they are not afraid of ordinary bows and crossbows and swords
In addition to a few pro-soldiers who are protected, those who come here are wearing shabby cotton clothes, and some are wearing single clothes, which cannot be protected. (Why are the ancient generals brave, there are thousands of people who are not brave, in addition to their strength, they are invulnerable to heavy armor and guns).
Compared with these, what is even more annoying is those grenadiers, often two or three soldiers in the opposing formation hold flames in one hand and earth-shaking thunder in the other, like children setting off firecrackers, throwing sky-shaking thunder into the enemy group, blowing up everyone's lover on their backs, and scaring everyone to retreat repeatedly.
Although the local tyrants are numerous, riding on war horses, watching the battlefield of fighting, although the officers and soldiers have the advantage and continue to rush back and forth, but the opponent is outnumbered, and it is even more difficult to defeat the other party.
A squad of a squad is engaged in a close-range fight, although the battlefield is dominant, but just rushing to kill a team in front of a team and a team of people and horses, the opponent is very numerous, and the formation remains intact.
Picking up the monocular and looking in the direction of the ferry, I saw more and more local thugs concentrating from a distance, and if they couldn't quickly defeat the other party, the other party might surround them.
Putting down the binoculars, I saw a big black man riding on a war horse two hundred meters away, shouting loudly.
In ancient times, generals on the battlefield paid attention to bravery, and most of the generals rode high-headed horses and wore fresh armor, which was very easy to identify on the battlefield.
The thief captured the king first, and thought of this to summon Wu Dazhu, the chief of the guard who was guarding beside him, and ordered him to lead two guard teams to outflank and attack the other party.
The whole person looked very excited, but Wu Dazhu still shook his head and said: "My lord, the lowly task is to protect you left and right, and now the two sides are fighting together, if I leave, who will protect you?" ”
Yang Lin was furious, brandished the treasure knife in his hand and shouted: "Of course I protect myself, and besides, I have a guard team by my side, why are you so rambling."
Obey orders, the better you fight, the safer Lao Tzu will be. ”
Wu Dazhu had no choice but to lead two escort teams to fight from the flanks.
Yang Lin also got off his horse and came to the formation, personally mastered a squadron, and suddenly ordered everyone to line up in three rows and rush towards Wang Gao.
The other party did not expect to use such a hand at all, shouting loudly to defend, Yang Lin commanded everyone to shoot repeatedly, although there were a lot of shots, but the front personnel gathered more and more, and when they saw that they were going to block, suddenly Wu Dazhu led two escort teams to suddenly kill from the side.
Wu Dazhu, together with several grenadiers, held a torch in one hand and threw the ignited earth-shaking thunder into the enemy bushes with the other, and in a moment and a half, more than a dozen earth-shaking thunderbolts fell around him, and the explosions were bursting and shrapnel flew sideways.
Everyone was frightened, and fled one by one, taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Dazhu and others rushed over.
Wang Gao was startled and hurriedly waved a big knife to resist, Wu Dazhu waved a spear to resist, and the two sides fought together, and at this time, a Wu commander covered his head with a rattan card and flashed to the back of the war horse, brandishing a big knife and slashing at the hind legs of the war horse.
I heard a loud bang in the distance, and when I looked closely, I saw that the hind legs of a good steed had been severed, and now the whole thing fell to the ground.
The surrounding soldiers swarmed up, and under the chaotic knife, the leader of the local tyrants who dominated the side, the Black Tiger King Gao, died under the chaotic knife.
Wu Dazhu cut off the opponent's head and waved it at the tip of the spear, the surrounding rioters were terrified, and the army after losing command was like a flock of sheep waiting to be slaughtered, with no combat effectiveness, and was immediately dispersed by everyone rushing left and right.
Yang Lin was about to lead his troops in pursuit, when he suddenly heard a shout of killing from behind, turned his head to look, and saw nine dragons leading more than 200 people to kill him.
Yang Lin secretly shouted that it was dangerous, if it was not for the decapitation method to defeat the enemy in front of him, the Pengzhou soldiers would inevitably suffer heavy losses under the two-sided attack, on the one hand, he ordered Long Zhijiao to lead the third game to meet him, and on the other hand, he led the main force to cover and kill the local tyrants who were scattering.
