Chapter 774: The Chick Pecks the Rice
The group of evil boys was knocked down by a row of muskets on the roof, and many of the men in the group were killed or wounded, and many of the people in the group slowed down. Li Jiahu's voice in the team shouted wildly: "What are you doing in a daze? Go on, how many people can be killed with a musket? Go and kill Yan Hong! "The fierce style they have cultivated for a long time has quickly regained their fighting spirit. More than 200 people rushed to the door again.
Through the open door, you can already see a room full of panicked guests, civil and military officials, wealthy businessmen and gentlemen, all flashing to both sides. Seeing these high-ranking people so flustered in front of them, the evil young people felt their own existence, and couldn't help but be very excited, their steps quickened, the weapons in their hands waved, and their mouths pulled out their throats and shouted, "Kill-"
Suddenly, the person who rushed to the front saw that in the hall, a row of brocade guards stood up, with flat-ended weapons and black holes facing the main entrance. More than ten red lights flashed, and there was an explosion, and the evil young man who had already gathered at the door was knocked down several more, rolling, tumbling, and being trampled by the people behind, and the screams were endless.
The evil young man behind shouted and continued to rush forward, and a few people just rushed into the door, but when they saw a flash of red light in front of them, two huge bamboo and wooden poles swept over, and the branches and leaves trembled, stabbing the evil young men with holes in their hands and feet, jumping up and down. More than 20 brocade guards have also jumped over, horizontal at the door, embroidered spring knives flashing, short spears retracting, firmly sealing the gate. Although the door of the Yan Yuan Hall is wide, there are only a few people in parallel. Shang Ziqiang led these more than 20 Jinyi guards with strong martial arts, coupled with the cooperation of two wolf guards modeled after the Zhejiang army, and easily sealed the gate tightly. Although there were more than 200 evil people outside, only a few could rush to the front and fight. Instead, it became a situation of being outnumbered. rushed to the front. Wielded by the wolf. was assassinated by the sword and gun of the brocade guard, and in a dazzled manner, only three points of combat power remained. Jin Yiwei is more to less, so what is polite? The sword flashed a few times, and soon the few evil youths who rushed in front surrounded and annihilated, and then the evil teenagers behind rushed in to automatically fill the area that was surrounded and tortured. In a few clicks, the corpses of the evil young man piled up at the gate had been stacked into a small hill, and it was even more difficult for the people behind to rush in.
There are a few evil young people who rely on brute courage. It doesn't matter if you fight your way through the defense. Zhou Yan stood behind with a few brocade guards, and flew forward to intercept these fish that slipped through the net, surround more and less, and kill them with one blow. There are also twenty brocade guards in the main hall, half of them holding firearms, loading bullets, facing fire, and half of them are equipped with sleeve crossbows. Wind up, aim. Specialized in filling gaps. Yan Hong only used a total of fifty brocade guards in the hall, but for a while, he had already guarded the hall tightly.
Of course, the evil boys outside would not be so stupid and beaten. Some began to scurry towards the windows, drawing sledgehammers and preparing to break in, while others scurried to the sides, ready to outflank the halls from the other rooms. Others desperately rushed to the gate. Although Jinyiwei used Qimen weapons, after all, it was not the Zhejiang army, and it did not have the skillful cooperation of the Mandarin Duck Array. Although the wolf whisk was loud, it couldn't stop many evildoers. There were even people standing on the periphery, firing crossbows into the hall with bows and crossbows to suppress the Jinyi guards. The evil young people fight out to kill and injure a few more, as long as more people rush in in a short time, and parry all the brocade guards, the people on their side will continue to kill, once the force is deployed, can three or four fight one still suffer?
But during this time, the fire guns on the roof were still unhurried, and they came down one after another. The house was more than a foot high, and the brocade guards prepared sandbags as cover in advance, and they crouched on it to shoot, and it was difficult for the people below to fight back. If the evil boys want to rush into the hall, they have to line up at the main gate, and the brocade guards don't need to aim, they just shoot and strafe, how to fight. There are a few evil young people with strong martial arts, trying to climb the wall and leap up desperately, but they were shot down by the brocade guard with a sleeve crossbow, even if they don't shoot to death, they fall on their backs and hit the ground with their heads, and they can't survive. There are also some evil young people who take out their bows and arrows and shoot them upward, but they are also blocked by sandbags, and basically no one can be injured. A few more wicked young men threw torches at the corner of the wall in an attempt to set the house on fire. But the Jinyi guard prepared a lot of buckets on the roof, and when he saw a fire, he poured half a bucket of water down, and before long, he had already wet the area around the main hall, and then put the torches together, and only smoke was seen, but there was no fire.
What's even more terrifying is that outside the hall, there are also firearms from the windows of several houses in the second courtyard. The gunfire was not dense, there were only a few places, and there were no more than a few muskets in each place. But now the evil boys are besieging the hall, and the targets can be said to be very concentrated, and they are called by the guns in this courtyard from behind at close range, and there is no way to avoid it, forming a one-sided dry beating. There were also some evil boys screaming wildly, rushing towards the small house where the bullets were fired, trying to get close to the Jinyi guard. But the small houses themselves were reinforced, with bricks and mud on the outside and baffles on the inside, leaving only a number of firing windows that shifted to shoot out the dead projectiles. The evil boys were so anxious that they couldn't even find the door there, so they could only scream around the house. Moreover, the location of these houses was carefully chosen, and they were only twenty paces away from each other, so that they could support each other with firepower. When the evil young man besieges one house, he gives his back to another, and his belly and back are subject to the enemy. It is hiding in the corner of a shooting hole in one room, but it happens to be an excellent fixed target for another room. The evil boy who wields a bow and arrow also tries to fire into the shooting hole for counter-suppression. But for shooting weapons, a close confrontation, with cover and without cover, is a world of difference, and it is not an equal confrontation at all. Those evil young people didn't dare to face the shooting hole, and even if they could shoot the arrow into the shooting port, it would be difficult to hit the Jinyi guard hiding behind, and it was often just a puff of dust on the masonry.
At that time, the power of muskets was far inferior to that of later generations, and if the fight was started, Yan Hong arranged these dozens of musketeers to fight against two or three hundred evils, and they could not fire a few rounds, and if they could not kill one or twenty people, they would have to fall into an unfavorable hand-to-hand combat. But now Yan Hong expected the enemy first, and arranged Dongdong in the courtyard equivalent to the firepower point of the later generations, and the evil young people were defenseless against this, and rushed into this slaughterhouse in a daze, with no hand-to-hand combat ability, surrounded by a fortress reinforced with bricks and stones, and couldn't rush in if they wanted to, and couldn't smash if they wanted to, so it became a one-sided situation of being beaten up. Especially since this is a firearm, not a bow and arrow. Although the accuracy and range of a bow and arrow may be longer than that of a firearm, it can be blocked by wearing armor or holding a shield. The power of this firearm is even greater, especially the bird gun equipped with the brocade guard is not trivial, at such a close distance, a small projectile hits, whether you are the kung fu of the golden bell cover iron cloth shirt, or the double leather armor, they are also brain-broken and pierced, making a dead man. Even if the martial arts are strong, there is absolutely no reason to use the sword in his hand to hit the projectile. As for the hand-picked projectile, sorry, this is not Dragon Ball, and it is not The Matrix.
After playing two pillars of incense kung fu in such a ping-pong pong, the evil young men did not gain an inch, but were knocked down by dozens of people with muskets in the courtyard. The wounded lay on the ground, enjoying the ecstasy of the projectiles, making terrible cries and moans, which made the living even more demoralized. Some of the evildoers looked out of the door and tried to use the wooden planks and stones in the courtyard to block the shooting holes of the small house outside, but those who tried to do so were knocked down by the brocade guards on the roof. Due to the continuous fire from the outside and from the roof, the evil boys who launched an assault at the main entrance did not dare to gather there anymore, and retreated violently. As a result, the gunners in the house launched a counterattack, shooting from the door and windows. In this way, the remaining evil few, oppressed by this not dense firepower, have to look for a place to disperse and hide in the courtyard, and they will not move. But even though the turtle retreated, it could not save his life. Now the brocade guards on the roof and in the room are just staring wide-eyed for the evil boy who can be targeted. Once the target is spotted, concentrate a few firearms to hit it. Most of the time, the roar is accompanied by a scream.
Li Jiahu crouched in the corner of the second courtyard, gritting his teeth angrily. It's not that he hasn't imagined that Jinyiwei is strong in martial arts, and his evil young man fought hard, bloody battles, and even lost in hand-to-hand combat. But he never dreamed that his superior forces would become the target of musket slaughter, even though he was more interested in hand-to-hand combat.
Fortunately, Li Jiahu was bold, and even in adversity, he refused to give up in despair. He called two party members: "You two hurry out and bring in our firecrackers!" He regretted it very much, originally thought that the melee firearms in the courtyard would not be used, and it was better to stay outside to control the streets. But I don't want Yan Hong to happen to use this as a killer feature. Nowadays, although the firearms of the evil boys are far from being comparable to the Jinyi Guards in terms of quantity and quality, they can at least always be suppressed for a while, which is better than being completely beaten.
The two evils were ordered to run outside the courtyard gate. As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard a few bangs between the door of the first courtyard and the door of the second courtyard, and the two evil young men let out heart-rending screams, one covered his stomach, the other held his head, rolled to the ground, and struggled for a while without moving. Only then did Li Jiahu discover that in a bush of bamboo and wood that was only a foot away from the gate of the second courtyard, there was also a small brick house hidden, and there were several shooting ports on it. Yan Hong actually wanted to seal all of his more than 200 people in the courtyard and annihilate them.
Li Jiahu was furious and beckoned a party member: "Ma Lao Wu, go up to the wall, go out and summon our firecrackers in!" ”
Ma Lao Wu agreed, put his hand on the wall, flew up, and went up to the wall. He was very light and agile, so how could he fire a firearm? But he heard a string sound in the night sky, followed by a muffled scream of Ma Lao Wu, and fell down like a sack, with a feathered arrow stuck in the upper end of his head and neck, and the arrow shot into the back of his neck, piercing through his throat, and the wound was bubbling with foaming blood. The old man grabbed his hands and feet for a while, and soon kicked his legs.
Li Jiahu looked up, but saw a window on the second floor of the main hall, faintly there was a beautiful woman, holding a carved bow, disappearing. He naturally didn't know that this beauty was Yan Hong's fourth aunt, Tai Zhang Qingyan. Ziqing Shuangxia has outstanding martial arts and first-class archery skills. During the siege of Jinan, Xia Zisu grabbed a hard bow at the head of the city and shot the leader of the White Lotus Sect, and the city was terrified. Now Zhang Qingyan shot a wicked young man who jumped on the wall a few feet away, it was just a small test, and it was as easy as a hand. (To be continued......)
