Rumbling shells poured in at a rate of five seconds, fist-sized projectiles whizzing through the queue with a whistling sound. Due to the small size of the projectile and the small charge, the bouncing ability is far inferior to that of heavy artillery. But more than 30 rounds were fired in three minutes, and the North Korean gunners who were attacked felt that the projectiles were simply overwhelming, endless.

Jiang Hongli, the marshal of the Joseon capital, sent a thousand men in an attempt to bypass Zhou Qingfeng's left flank. As a result, the thousand people walked halfway, and their flanks were bombarded with dead spirits. The blackened crowd was like flies exploding from the shelling, screaming and scurrying around.

In the eyes of these 'headless flies', smoke suddenly rose from a woodland about two hundred meters away, followed by hot iron balls that blasted their queue to pieces. Since it was a side attack, the queue was quite dense. With a bit of luck, a single shell can often hit several people. The soldier who was shot would disintegrate on the spot, as if he had been hit by some terrible spell.

There were also officers in the 1,000-strong North Korean squad who tried to form a group, and several of them noticed that their flanks were attacked, and hurriedly rushed over on bantam horses to try to stabilize the formation. Just when they got closer, they were attacked by artillery, and the officers who led the team immediately turned around and fled, and they had no intention of attacking the position of the cavalry platoon.

After the three-minute surprise fire, the position of the cavalry artillery platoon was already shrouded in white smoke of artillery fire. They could not see the effect of the shelling outside, and they scared themselves into a quick evacuation.

At the head of Zhenjiang, Jiang Hongli, the very confident marshal of the capital, was dumbfounded—one of his thousand-man team ...... after losing dozens of people, and continued to move forward.

To be precise, these North Korean gunners soon discovered that the enemy's artillery was only aimed at one place. Since many shells hit the mud and did not pop out at all, although many people died, the chaos was quickly stabilized. They just had to get around the shelling point and get out of the way.

"The anti-thieves of the Ming Kingdom are sharp." Jiang Hongli saw that the opponent's artillery was so powerful on the side, and he was worried that the artillery fire on the front would be even more powerful. But before he could adjust his attack, the roundabout North Korean gunners dodged the attack with a simple dodge and continued to move forward.

"Strong soldiers, your department is really a strong soldier!" Mao Wenlong was originally eager to try above the city, but when he saw that this group of North Koreans was beaten up halfway through, he began to worry again. He has a small capital now, and he basically has nothing to do except with the help of Ming Ting's tiger skin.

However, the roundabout North Korean thousand-man team had such a big nerve, and it was able to continue fighting despite an artillery surprise attack, which was really beyond Mao Wenlong's expectations.

Jiang Hongli was also shocked when he saw the shelling, but Mao Wenlong's praise made him feel a lot more at ease. The strange performance of the thousand-man team in front of him was not worth mentioning in his opinion - the thousand-man team lined up more than two hundred meters in a horizontal plane, and only a small part of it was fired, and only a few dozen people died. Many North Korean gunners only heard the sound of artillery but did not know what was happening.

Under the undulating terrain of the mountains and wilderness, it is quite difficult to transmit battlefield information. Cuts in vision often cause confusion in the team. The fact that part of the army has been wiped out and the other is still foolishly rushing forward is not uncommon in ancient warfare.

Jiang Hongli clearly knew that the opponent's mobile artillery was still wandering around, and he might launch another artillery attack at any time. But he could only stand stupidly at the head of the city, and the thousand-man team in charge of the detour a few hundred meters away could no longer accept his command, and now he could only hope that this force would be able to perform a miracle and crush the enemy defending on the flank.

On the left flank of the main Guards was Ye Na. She only had less than a hundred guards cavalry on her hands, as well as more than a hundred pro-army guards sent by Zhou Qingfeng. And although the North Korean thousand-man team opposite her was shelled, they still had an absolute advantage in numbers. The opponent was barely advancing in a 'three-dan strike' queue and had already entered the 200-metre range.

The situation of queuing to shoot is coming......

Due to the poor effectiveness of rockets against maneuvering targets, this thing did not appear on the battlefield. And Zhou Qingfeng was holding the 'Fengyun Banner' in front to build a large array, and he was also facing the approach of the two Korean thousand-man teams on the opposite side, and there would be no extra troops to support him for a while. All Ye Na could do was rely on her own ......, as well as the latest flintlock pistols of the pro-army guards.

After Zhou Qingfeng donated the remains of the 'Road Tyrant', Stone made a crucible furnace to melt these high-quality steels and re-forged a batch of spring steel. Zhao Ze produced the Type 1617 flintlock pistol in small batches on the basis of this batch of spring steel.

In order to make this batch of flintlock pistols play their due performance, Zhao Ze pulled out the rifling of the barrel with the help of his factory's quite good processing accuracy. He built the 'Iowa Wooden Rifling Broaching Machine' and produced the Mini Bullet – a groundbreaking step forward.

Before the Mini rifle, the precision of machining was insufficient. This results in a mismatch between the barrel and the projectile. One of the main reasons for using lead bullets is that they are softer, and even if they are larger, they can be stabbed through them with a strip - in some cases, the shooter even has to use a hammer to smash the projectile into it.

And because of the leakage of the barrel, the gunsmiths had to make a barrel with a caliber of more than 20 millimeters in order to ensure the power. For example, the famous 'Muscott' arquebus, with a caliber of thirty millimeters. The heavy arquebus, which weighed more than ten kilograms, was so powerful and cumbersome that it became so difficult to pick up and aim that the shooter had to be supported by another stick.

With the continuous improvement of machining accuracy, the Mini bullet appeared in the mid-nineteenth century. This is also a breech-loading rifle, but its projectile fits easily into the breech. Its projectile is no longer simply round, but semi-oval. When fired, the rear end of the projectile expands and holds the air, ensuring that the gases from which the gunpowder burns do not leak, so its accuracy, power and range are skyrocketing.

It's just a pity that the Mini rifle appeared too late in history, and the weapons of the nineteenth century advanced too quickly. The Mini rifle, which was the pinnacle of breech guns, appeared more than a decade after it encountered the epoch-making Dreiser breech gun, which was quickly eliminated.

At the beginning of the 17th century, there was no one else in the world who could possess the 0.01 millimeter measuring equipment, which was an almost extravagant metalworking capacity. The highly efficient Mini cartridge provides good breath holding, allowing the projectile to explode at a faster velocity and travel the same distance for a shorter time. This not only results in a greater range, but also greatly improves accuracy.

Also because of the good breath hold, the bullet charge is also reduced, and the barrel does not need to be too large and too thick. Zhao Ze even shrunk the caliber of the barrel to twelve millimeters, and the weight of the whole gun was reduced to only five kilograms, which was much more convenient for both carrying and shooting. With fixed ammunition, novices can shoot two rounds per minute, and veterans can fire four rounds per minute.

As an opponent, North Korea's muskets are naturally old-fashioned arquebuses. They started shooting from a few hundred meters away. However, at long distances, the flight difference of low-speed bullets is greater than that of a humanoid. In other words, if you aim at the head, you won't even hit your toes. Only by aiming at the sky can you get a shot or two in the form of a parabola - the probability is particularly low.

Advances in technology have led to a constant change in the form of warfare.

Ye Na herself had an old-fashioned flintlock pistol, and the spring bolt came from a good piece of steel that the blacksmith had inadvertently forged. But after she tried Zhao Ze's new flintlock pistol, she immediately threw her family heirloom aside. Seeing that the enemy was already within an effective range of 200 meters, she waved her hand and shouted - ready, aim, fire!

Bang bang bang......

The pro-army guards did not engage in any three-stage strikes at all, and more than 100 people lined up in a thin horizontal line. The moment they opened fire, they could feel the recoil of good breath-holding - the caliber was smaller, the charge was smaller, but the recoil was more than twice as large as that of the old arquebus.

A whole row of white smoke erupted, and the projectiles that fit tightly to the chamber were sprayed out of the muzzle by gas. The caliber is small, the weight of the projectile is also small, but the speed is fast, and the kinetic energy is greater. The distance of two hundred meters passed in an instant, and the gauge on the barrel planned a slightly upward parabola for the projectile, accurately hitting the enemy at a distance of two hundred meters.

One of the features of the Mini rifle is its high accuracy. Its effective range can even reach more than 500 meters, a distance that is already difficult to hit with the naked eye without the help of a scope. Two hundred meters is the best distance for concentrated fire, and the rain of more than 100 projectiles immediately caused a lot of damage to the North Korean gunners in a dense formation on the opposite side.

The roundabout North Korean 1,000-man squad was in fact constantly firing, fighting from far to near, both to cheer themselves up and to provide deterrence to the enemy. Although they were shelled by the cavalry platoon, they saw that there were only about 100 people in the so-called 'Ming anti-thieves' opposite them, and psychologically they still felt that their side had the advantage. But they didn't see any results when they fired all the way, but the other side ...... as soon as they fired.

The fluttering projectiles shot into the human body, shooting out blood flowers one after another. Some of the gunners in the front row were advancing, some were aiming, and some were reloading. As a result, thirty or forty people fell without warning - this North Korean team of 1,000 people was even stunned by this, and they couldn't figure out how their own people didn't hum and fell down such a batch.

Just now, the cavalry artillery platoon riveted three minutes to kill dozens of members of the North Korean thousand-man squad, but now so many people have fallen in one breath. And these people are not a loss of hedgehog collection, but scattered throughout the front of the queue, and its impact is much greater.

The roundabout North Korean team of 1,000 people immediately stopped, as if they were stupidly studying what had happened to them. More than 10 seconds later, a queue of white smoke rose from 200 meters away, and the dense gunfire rang out again - when the gunshots came from 200 meters away, the North Korean 1,000-man team was overturned by dozens of people.

......, now the fool also understands that something is wrong.

Could it be that the fire gun on the opposite side can hit 200 meters?

The musketeers standing in the front row began to cower and retreat, while the gunners behind them wondered why the line had stopped. The commander of the thousand-man team was also hesitating whether to rush forward and enter the counter-fire state. After all, it's not easy to run so many hundred meters, and you can see the enemy's head and face, so it's not good to retreat, right?

After a dozen seconds, the third salvo came again.

This salvo hit a critical blow, and the pro-army guards felt up, and they actually swept away fifty or sixty people on the opposite side in one go. This hit rate is close to half, it's just against the sky!

Gunshots kept coming, blood flowers continued to burst open, corpses kept falling, and the North Korean thousand-man team suddenly exploded. The enemy is still two hundred meters away, and their firepower is simply out of reach. And under the dense formation, their casualties exceeded 10% in less than a minute - they still beat a ghost, turned around and ran!

Seeing that the enemy was in chaos, Ye Na immediately shouted to the cavalry company behind her, which was on standby: "Attack, chase those guys' backs." ”
