Chapter 58: Manifestation

Cai Yuan, the head of the spear-carrying team, stood in front of his team, and beside him was a flag gun inserted in the ground, and a triangular red flag on the long wooden gun was waving in the wind.

Twelve nine-headed bird guns were erected on tripods, one column of five guns each, divided into two columns.

In front of them was an array composed of the original middle banner and now the former banner Xiang Yong, who combined their shields with spears and bows and knives to form the cover of the three flag teams behind.

In the back, six warring teams of the left and right flags are arranged in a vertical formation, and the gap between the empty ones just leaves the firing channel of the artillery flags.

The Lance Bearer and Gun were the last, but the Gun Lifter had a longer range than the Bird's Gun, so they were the first to fire.

Cai Yuan, as the team leader, also holds a carrying gun, and even their team even has a carrying gun, a team of twelve people, twelve carrying guns, an all-firearms team, or a heavy firepower team.

"Check the arquebus!" Cai Yuan checked his fire rope and shouted to the team members behind. This time, the gun-carrying team was newly built, and Cai Yuan was selected as the team leader from the twelve captains, and he looked forward to showing excellent results in the first battle of the gun-carrying team.

The gunmen had already finished loading, and while they were waiting, the fire door cover was covered, and the arquebuses were even lit.

Now all they have to do is blow up the fire rope, open the fire door cover, aim, shoot.

The gunners checked again as ordered, and Winter Dog had just fired a shot, and the arquebus caught in the dragon's head jumped out when he fired, and he put the arquebus into the dragon's head again, and blew the fire rope, opened the fire door cover, and aimed the fire head at the powder pool.

The soldiers saw that the nine-headed bird and horse team was already as frightened as the thieves, and no one dared to rush into battle, so they went around directly. At this time, the thieves who followed also noticed that the nine-headed bird cavalry was a little different, this team was not many in number, but it was equipped with many giant bird guns.

The second master has never seen this kind of bird gun before, but when he looks at this thick appearance, it is estimated that it must be more powerful than ordinary bird guns. Although he was a little afraid of these big bird guns in his heart, he looked at the appearance that there were only a hundred people in total, and immediately directly called for the bandits to kill this side with his sword, wanting to break up this team of 100 people in one fell swoop and completely defeat the left flank of the official army!

"One hundred and fifty steps!" A nine-headed bird villager shouted loudly.

Liu Jun waved his hand, "Raise the gun and aim!" ”

Lifting the gun has an effective killing range of 200 steps, but at such a distance, the accuracy will inevitably be greatly reduced. Therefore, Liu Jun asked the thieves to shoot at one hundred and fifty paces, and then it was the turn of the bird gunners of the warring team to shoot at one hundred paces. Form a continuous blow and attack the thief multiple times.

This battle was different from the battle that night, which was more of a night raid. The thieves didn't even have a chance to go head-to-head, and now, the thieves were about the same number as the Hydra, and they were rushing all the way. Liu Jun's heart couldn't help but get nervous, he didn't know if the Nine-headed Birds could withstand the pressure and keep the formation in broad daylight.

"Aim!"

One hundred and fifty steps, this is a long distance, one step five feet, one hundred and fifty steps is about two hundred and forty meters, this distance is actually very far, even if the thief rushes fast, at least it will take more than half a minute.

The thieves were fierce, but they didn't have the ability to attack the Hydra at this distance. However, they were already within range of the Hydra's spear team.

Winter Gouzi calmed down a little of the excitement of killing a guard soldier, and entered a mysterious state, he locked on to a target again, it was a swarthy middle-aged man, estimated to be around forty, with a hideous face. After more than a hundred steps, he could even clearly see that blood was still dripping from a sword held by the man.

"Fire!"

Cai Yuan also locked on to a target, and then shouted and fired while pulling the trigger hard.

Cai Yuan and the first army's six guns immediately made a burst of explosion, and a large puff of gunpowder smoke erupted in front of them, and the sound of the six guns firing in a volley was even more terrifying than when the winter dog fired a shot just now.

Cai Yuan felt that his ears were full of buzzing sounds, and even a slight feeling of dizziness.

Liu Jun held a clairvoyant mirror and kept staring at the thieves in front of him, and after the explosion, two thieves who rushed to the front fell. One was shot straight into the head by a buckshot, and the other had a leg knocked off and fell to the ground howling and struggling.

"Two out of six, one dead and one wounded." Liu Jun said expressionlessly.

This is still a good hit rate, especially when fired at a distance of more than 100 paces. At least their six shots almost reached the effect of six hundred and forty arrows of Zhu Pet's guard.

"Put!"

Wu Changdong Dog ordered loudly, and at the same time pulled the trigger, one army of five gunners plus one fireman, and six bird guns followed by the first batch of thunder.

"Three out of six! Attaboy. ”

Li Chunjiang clearly saw from the clairvoyant mirror that in the second wave of six guns, three of them hit the thief. The three thieves were shot and fell to the ground almost at the same time, and the lead bullet of one money and five dollars was much larger and more powerful than the ordinary bird gun lead bullet.

The large lead bullet easily crossed a hundred paces and slammed into the unarmored bandits, sharply splitting their flesh and skin, forming a huge wound. There was even an unlucky guy who was shot in the abdomen and even his intestines came out.

Within 100 steps, ordinary bird guns and lead can break armor, not to mention that this is still a nine-headed bird big bird gun, and a thief without armor is shot, that is, he must die or be disabled.

After the gunshot, Winter Dog saw his target fall to the ground and killed the enemy with another shot.

Immediately after the gun-carrying team fired, they began to clean the barrels, reload the gunpowder, clamp the fire rope, and prepare again.

After undergoing rigorous training and two actual battles, these villagers became more and more calm, they did not pay too much attention to the bandits who were attacked by them, and after a shot, they immediately followed the usual training process and began to prepare for the next shot.

And for those bandits, they are not lightly frightened.

Oversized birds, huge loud noises, and huge kill numbers.

In two rounds of shooting, there were five fewer people around them, except for one guy who was lucky enough to break his leg, and if he was treated in time, he could still live, but he might only be a cripple in the future, and the other four all fell to the ground and were silent.

It's not that these bandits have never seen bird guns, and when they face the bird guns of the officers and soldiers on the battlefield, they often send hundreds of guns, and none of them will necessarily be hit. In many cases, only one or two of the officers and soldiers may be killed after a burst of birds, and the officers and soldiers may have been injured two or three because of the explosion.

Even if the bird doesn't blow up, the hit rate is surprisingly low.

And now, the other party only saw a dozen shots, but he was hit by five? This kill rate is too frightening, and the other party actually achieved the effect by opening the gun from a hundred or so steps. You must know that in the past, the birds of the official army could only be shot after a hundred paces when they heard a sound.

If the general officer and soldier want to kill the enemy, many times they can only fight closely, and release the gun within 50 steps, or even 30 or 20 steps. And after such a long time, their arrows are more powerful than the guns of the official army, and the officers and soldiers have no chance to fire the second gun if they release one gun, and they can shoot two or three arrows, or even directly cut and kill at close range.

And now, they were killed from a hundred paces away.

The bandits' footsteps began to slow down a little, and at this time, Liu Jun gave another order without hesitation.

The horn sounded.

Six teams of twenty-four bird-screwed men were divided into two waves.

The first wave of twelve gunners heard the order to shoot.

At this time, the thief had already rushed within eighty paces of the nine-headed bird, and after the twelve, Li Chunjiang couldn't wait to report loudly, "Two more!" ”

"Fire!"

The second wave of ornithmen opened fire again.

"Hit one."

After a round of fire from two waves of bird-gunners, twenty-four shots hit three enemies. This hit rate is not high, but it is normal, especially the winter dogs, who have better marksmanship, are most likely transferred to the spear-carrying team.

The Bird Gunners are still in the process of being reloaded.

By this time, the six gunmen who fired the first wave had already reloaded.

"Put!" Cai Yuan shouted, and took the lead in another round of shooting.

"Hit three, one more than the previous round." Li Chunjiang observed excitedly, and then reported the number.

At this time, the winter dog had already re-locked the target, and shouted loudly, "Fire!" ”

"Three more!"

After another round of gun firing, the rockets were ready and fired, dozens of rockets flying out and scurrying through the enemy group.

"Didn't hit!" Li Chunjiang reported with some disappointment.

But on the bandit's side, at this time, almost all of them collapsed in their hearts.

That array of more than 100 people actually had so many firearms, especially their firearms firing endlessly, and only a few firearms were fired each time, but they were never broken. It's a giant gun, a rocket, and a bird, and the people around him fall one after another, and the thief has never encountered such an experience.

The fastest thieves who rushed forward suffered heavy casualties, and before they could get close to the array, they had already fallen more than a dozen people, especially the roar and fire of this firearm had a great shock to the hearts of the thieves, which was far more terrifying than hand-to-hand combat. The casualties of more than a dozen people are not much, but this kind of distance is so far away that they can't even touch a single enemy hair, but the other party has already killed more than a dozen of them, which is really devastating.

This is far more terrifying than being killed by an arrow or hacked to death by a knife.

A dozen people died, and they were still forty or fifty paces away from the enemy team.

At this time, they even saw that the enemy's columns of soldiers standing in front of the gunners had already drawn their bows and arrows, ready to release their arrows.

Despair, the bandit was full of despair at this time. They even wondered, can they really rush in front of each other? Except for a few backbones such as the second boss who have rich combat experience, many of the rest are just ordinary homeless, even if they have gone out to loot, they are only facing ordinary people, or merchants' escorts, landlords' families, when have they encountered such enemies?

"Prepare for melee!" Liu Jun had already pulled out the long blades of his hands, ready to engage the thief in close quarters.

But at this time, he suddenly found that the thieves, who were less than thirty paces away from them, began to turn around and flee.

Yes, the thieves ran away, they were afraid.

After being bombarded by a series of firearms, they directly broke down in their hearts. From a murderous bandit to a courageous outcast.

Liu Jun was holding the knife, and he was relieved, he really didn't want to fight with the enemy in close quarters.

Li Chunjiang shouted to Liu Jun, "Blow the trumpet, let's cover up the past." ”

Liu Jun grabbed his war horse, and they were not the only troops here. If it is only their nine-headed birdies, in the face of this situation, of course, they should seize the opportunity and take advantage of the situation to counterattack and charge. But since there are more than 1,000 people here, there is no need for them to go up again.

"Leave these fearless thieves to the barracks, you see, we're already here." Liu Jun pointed forward.

Sure enough, the main barracks had already been copied from the back bread, and the bandits were defeated by the nine-headed bird and turned their heads to run up the mountain, but the way back had been intercepted by the main barracks and horse team of Baosheng Fort, and now they had copied from the back bread.
