Chapter 804: No suspense

Almost twenty muskets were lit out by Hu Hai and blocked in the front. The hundred Ding Guards who rushed out of the bunker did not pay attention to these muskets.

Because, their understanding of muskets is still stuck in the shotguns and arquebuses equipped by the imperial court a few years ago.

In their opinion, muskets had little to use except to scare people on the battlefield.

Therefore, without the slightest hesitation, a hundred Ding Guardian Courtyards brandished broadswords and spears, and screamed and pounced on Hu Hai......

In the blink of an eye, the arduousness of the two armies was rapidly shortened from 150 paces at the beginning to 120 paces......

If the guards who broke out of the bunker were court officials and soldiers equipped with leather armor or even iron armor, these muskets that were specially used for sale and had an effective range of only 100 paces would have absolutely no chance of killing them at a distance of 120 paces.

However, these people are not officers and soldiers, but a group of nurses who are not even equipped with wallets......

After flying a distance of one hundred and twenty paces, although there was no way to penetrate the wallet and iron armor, the hot lead bullet could still easily penetrate the homespun clothes they were wearing, and then shot into their bodies, causing them to kill......

Therefore, at this time, Hu Hai gave the order to shoot without thinking about it......

So, a row of ten lead bullets flew out of the barrel and flew towards the target directly in the sound of gunfire like a bean.

As for the one hundred who were still full of confidence, when they heard the sound of musket shooting, everyone had a heartfelt mocking expression on their faces, and they were more confident in the next battle.

But, in the blink of an eye, this hint of mockery. It's as if time has suddenly stood still. Directly froze on the face.

Especially rushing to the front. Several nursing homes that were directly hit by buckshot......

The mocking expression on his face was not covered by the shock and fear after he was shot, and with a scream, he threw himself forward and fell to the ground......

Several nursing homes fell to the ground, although there was a lot of panic among the other nursing homes......

However, the leader's next words once again restored their confidence......

"Brothers, don't be afraid, no matter how powerful the bandits' muskets are. He could only shoot one round of buckshot...... Speed up for me, and make sure to get in front of them before they shoot a second round of buckshot, so that their muskets are useless......"

Just as these homes were recovering and they had taken several steps forward again, the gunshots that had made them feel frightened rang out again......

The fall of several nursing homes directly made their newly regained self-confidence quickly disappear.

However, in the shouting and scolding of the leaders around him. No matter how frightened they were, they could only rush forward......

Thereupon. This is what happened on the battlefield......

Wielding broadswords and spears, the courtyard is like a group of warriors who have generously died in their lives. Knowing that continuing to attack is death, he still does not hesitate to continue to attack... And he stepped on the corpse of his companion and attacked......

However, this kind of compulsive attack will eventually lead to a time when it is exhausted and courageous.

The two armies were painstakingly shortened to fifty paces, and more than half of the one hundred guards were lost. Whether the leader rushing into the ranks is swearing, threatening, or killing...... The rest of the nursing homes are no longer rushing forward......

Dozens of people, like lost dogs, turned around and retreated backwards......

Such a good opportunity for counterattack, of course Hu Hai will not let it go......

Excluding the musketeers, the bombardiers with cold weapons and grenades in their hands, though there were only thirty men.

However, Hu Hai still led them, quickly passed the musketeers, and chased after the courtyard that had begun to flee frantically......

On the walls of the earthen fort, whether it was the remaining hundreds of courtyards or Master Zhang, who was surrounded by everyone, they were all stunned by the strong combat effectiveness of the bandits outside the fort......

Looking at the Haw Par Army following behind the deserters, getting closer and closer to the city wall, it was about to re-enter the earthen fort.

Master Zhang, who was shocked, couldn't take care of the nursing homes with less than fifty people outside the fort, and did not hesitate to order the other nursing homes to close the city gates......

As a result, less than 50 deserters, except for more than 20 who were killed and blown up, the remaining 23 were all taken prisoner......

The first battle was won, and the fifty soldiers under Hu Hai's command, whether they were veterans or recruits, all had a heartfelt excited smile on their faces.

Not only that, but the battle to break through Zhangjiatu Fort has also changed from disbelief and fear an hour ago to a confident face today.

Especially the recruits who saw the power of muskets on the battlefield for the first time, many of them had an eager expression on their faces. It's as if Hu Hai gave an order, they could easily rush into the earthen fort......

And Master Zhang on the wall of the earth fort, at this moment, is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, turning back and forth. His mouth kept muttering to himself: "What should I do...... What can I do about this...... The bandits are so powerful, in the blink of an eye, they will destroy a hundred of the old man's courtyards, and I don't know if the remaining courtyards can still block the bandits' attack......"

Of course, no matter how anxious Master Zhang was at this moment, Hu Hai would not care......

Taking advantage of the low morale of the guards in the castle, a table of eight immortals covered with a quilt was directly pushed out.

The two bombardiers carrying explosive bags stared at the Eight Immortals Table and quickly approached the gate of the earthen fort.

At the same time, twenty musketeers followed, advancing to less than a hundred paces from the bunker. Then, aim the muzzle of the black hole at the head of the city, ready to shoot at any time to cover......

Seeing this scene outside the city, Master Zhang, who was anxious and panicked, could not see the arrogance of the past.

Facing a few leaders around him, he shouted loudly: "What are you still doing, immediately release arrows and shoot...... The bandits have muskets, and we have ...... Also, prepare the rolling stones immediately, and feel that the bandits can't get close to the gate......"

Neither bows and arrows, nor arquebuses purchased from the hands of officers and soldiers, could be an opponent for muskets.

Therefore, their counterattack did not achieve any results except for adding a dozen casualties for no reason......

More importantly, this counterattack was quickly weakened by the sharp attacks of the musketeers outside the fort.

After all, there are not many people who want to die for the income of two taels of silver a month......

Therefore, the two bombardiers holding the Eight Immortals Table can easily send the explosives package to the city gate hole and ignite the explosives packet arquebus......

The final result was no surprise, the two gates, which could almost be called impregnable, were blown into ruins under the gaze of Master Zhang's eyes full of despair......

Subsequently, dozens of bandits, as if killing gods, rushed into the earthen fort......

As for the nursing home around him, he was already stunned......

In the face of the bandits who rushed in, they didn't even have the courage to resist, so they directly dropped their weapons and surrendered on their knees...... (To be continued......)
