The crossbowmen in the first platoon heard the order. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info buckle the bracket, shoot the arrows out, quickly retreat to the last row, and reload the arrows to wind. The militia is not equipped with a pulley crossbow. In the case of a pulley crossbow, winding is easy and fast. It takes a certain amount of effort to wind this crossbow. But it's much less labor-intensive than drawing a bow. The second row finishes shooting, and the third row shoots closely. The third row was shot, and the first row was also loaded. Continue to launch. In turn, the crossbow arrows continued to shoot towards the imperial army on the opposite side. The imperial army was in a panic, and the screams came and went. The soldiers retreated in a panic. Wen Jun rode behind to watch the battle, and saw that the first wave of the attack had retreated without even approaching the trench outside the wall, leaving the wounded in one place screaming there, and couldn't help but be furious. He shouted to one of the generals next to him, "Let them release their arrows, let them release their arrows!" The general next to him raised his monoculars and looked at it. Said: "General, the range is not enough. Our archers can only shoot at a distance of about 60 paces, and their crossbows can shoot up to 120 paces. That's half more than us. We can't reach it!"

"The sword and shield soldiers are in front, and the archers are behind, pushing forward step by step. When the range is reached, the arrow is immediately released. Remove their baggage squads. There were no more than 5,000 men in the camp. There are a lot of us. Even if you use people, you have to pile them all to death?"

"No, general, the little one will be arranged. "The little school arranged to go. In his heart, he thought: "As long as there are enough arrows from the people's militia, it will not be enough to pile up all these 10,000 people." "Having repelled the army of the imperial court, the former comrades attacked for the first time, and the militia did not cheer. Instead, they were nervously preparing. Crossbowmen replenish arrows. The other members of the group were still on guard across the wall. The musketeers had not received orders just now. So not a single shot was fired, just watching the crossbowmen perform there. Much to the displeasure of the captain of the musketeers. Grandma's, the dog's day is getting closer. Although the musket has a longer range than the strong crossbow. But Zhu Yi did not let the fire open. Because the closer you get, the more accurate you are. The more powerful it is, the more not. If you shoot now, it is estimated that Wen Jun will slip away. Zhu Yi and Shen Mo were discussing whether to use firearms in the next attack. I saw the big bull coming with the eunuchs. Zhu Yi whitened the eunuchs. He said, "Open the gates of the camp and let them out." Then he said to the guards, "I'll let you go." It is the hope of removing the sword soldiers. The people who called back and forth were all their own family members. Hurt the peace. It also makes the slave people see jokes. If you pass, insist on fighting. Lao Tzu will accompany him to the end. ”

Wang Zhen knew that now was not the time to be reckless, so he nodded and agreed. Da Niu opened the camp gate and let Wang Zhen out. When Wang Zhen walked past Da Niu, Da Niu grinned and whispered in Wang Zhen's ear: "You wait for Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu will one day cut off your other head." ”

Wang Zhen just glanced at Da Niu. Without speaking, he walked out of the camp gate with a few prison guards. Wang Zhen is now scared to death. I'm afraid that someone in these groups will put cold arrows in the back. When the time comes, you won't be able to find your head when you die. Wang Zhen walked out of the camp gate and saw the battlefield full of dead and wounded. I can't help but feel a chill in my heart. It seems that this Sicheng militia is indeed a difficult bone to gnaw! Hey, I don't know if it's right for me to take this step. Soon Wang Zhen was picked up by the soldiers on the opposite side. Looking at the dozens of soldiers holding huge shields, Wang Zhen surrounded him in the middle, and quickly ran towards his own camp. Zhu Yi grinned at Zhu Zheng and said, "Big brother, the overseers of the imperial court are just like this! ”

Zhu Zheng shook his head and said, "Second brother, the prison army is not terrible, what is terrible is the force behind him!"

Not long after Wang Zhen and the others walked away, the drum on the opposite side "knocked on" again. Zhu Yi took a sip and said, "These people really don't remember to eat! There were as many as 500 corpses left in front of the camp gate just now, and it seems that they still did not hurt them! It's time for the new cannons to open their mouths. Uncle Shen, your cavalry is ready. As soon as they retreat, you strike with all your battalion. Don't put on your own clothes. This is not a slave cavalry. This time it must hurt them. ”

Shen Mo asked a herald to inform the cavalry to prepare for the attack. As soon as the camp gates were wide open, the cavalry began to assault. But don't kill, just drive people away.

Wen Jun met Wang Zhen and said hello to Wang Zhen. thought that the militia let Wang Zhen come back because they were afraid of them. So the whole army was ordered to press on the attack. The two sides fought on both sides of the trench. Zhu Yi is also ruthless enough. As soon as the sword and shield soldiers covered the archers, they knew what they were going to do. Haven't you ever eaten pork or seen a pig run? Not to mention that there is a group of staff officers from the martial arts hall next to him. A staff officer took a telescope and looked at it and told Zhu Yi. They used their shields to cover the archers, and when they were within range, they released their arrows. In this way, our strong crossbow loses its great effect. Although it can cause some damage, the cost-effectiveness ratio is very low. We recommend the use of firearms and bed crossbows.

The soldiers of the imperial army approached the outer trench and drew closer. Seeing that there were no arrows to reassure, there was no movement on the other side. shouted loudly to "kill the rebels" and rushed quickly towards the trench. A dozen steps from the trench. The sword and shield men who rushed to the front suddenly heard a sharp whistle. I saw a flash of red light on both sides of the camp gate, and then I heard several loud noises. An old pawn had experience and knew that it was the militia on the opposite side that was firing artillery. The archers who didn't care about following behind, when they heard the loud noise, quickly fell down. But he was still a step too late, and the scattered bullets from the opposite side instantly hit a few holes in his body. The old pawn was unwilling to fall backwards. After falling, he also thought of killing a rebel and rewarded him with five taels of silver. The scattered bombs that came from the camp dealt heavy casualties to the court soldiers who were attacking on both sides of the camp gate. One of the archers saw the head of one of the shield-bearers in front of him thump a long nail at once, and he screamed in fright and turned and ran behind him.

At this time, the musketeers also began to fire freely, and the musketeers put the finished guns at an angle, took out the medicine bag from their waists, tore it with their teeth, poured it into the musket, and stabbed the bullet into the barrel with a strip. Plug in the fire rope and wait for the ignition to be launched. The troops here were still armed with arquebuses, not flintlock muskets. Compared with the arquebuses of the imperial court, the guns were made of fine steel, not to mention that they were not easy to explode. And don't use the whole strip to pound the gunpowder, because the bullet is specially made, and if the bullet is pounded, the gunpowder will naturally be real. The medicine bag is also filled in a certain amount, unlike the fire gun of the imperial court, and the pouring of gunpowder needs to be estimated. If you pour more, it will be easy to blow up, but if you pour less, it will be less powerful. These rows of guns were fired, and another one fell down from the other side. General Wen saw that his eyes were split, and before he could touch the trench, he went to a thousand more people. Seeing that the front died so miserably, the back turned around and ran. I can't care about the wounded who fell to the ground screaming and wailing. Wen Jun stood on his horse and shouted: "Overseer team, up, those who retreat, slash!"

Let's not talk about the defeat of this army, let's talk about the four small cannons. This small cannon is a simple version. Each weighs more than 200 kilograms. Originally, there were small wheels and gun carriages. It was only dismantled when it arrived. This small cannon is as thick as the mouth of a bowl. Specially processed, the barrel is round, and the back is square. There's still a cannon barrel inside. It's just to prevent the rear breech from exploding. Reinforced with a square inside and outside. Seeing the enemy retreating, the artillery captain picked up the binoculars and looked at them, estimated the distance and said: "The muzzle of the gun is raised by half a foot." The direction does not change. Load the No. 2 shell and fire two rounds. ”

The artillerymen raised the cannon with sandbags and quickly cleared the chamber. Put in the medicine bag, and then put in the number two bomb that the captain said. The bag was made of a kind of paper, cylindrical, and the caliber of the gun. There will be no need for artillery to tamp gunpowder there with a strip. Everything was placed, and a soldier next to him quickly pricked the cannon with a needle the thickness of chopsticks, inserted the fire rope, and lit it. The artillerymen saw that the fire rope was lit. Quickly plugged his ears and opened his mouth wide. With a loud bang, the No. 2 bomb flew out. Fall in front of the Overseer on the opposite side. Zhu Zheng looked at the No. 2 bullet with a telescope and smashed it. But there was no movement, not even a person was stoned to death. Zhu Zheng put down the binoculars and asked the artillery captain suspiciously: "This cannonball can't be a dud! Why don't you explode? Why is this shell different from the scattered bombs that were fired before!"

In the gap between the words, the other three guns also shot out, and the artillerymen were nervously reloading for the second time. The artillery captain said to Zhu Zheng: "Young Master, this shell will not explode in a while." Inside is the delay fuse. As soon as he finished speaking, a loud bang came. Zhu Zheng hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked at the other side. Smoke billowed from the center of the shell blast point. Within a radius of a few feet, no one survived. Four shells cleared out four uninhabited areas, and the overseers and soldiers who escaped the catastrophe were stunned when they saw this scene.

The overseers and the retreating soldiers who were still there just now had been killed, and there were human parts all over the ground, and not far away, a pawn of the overseer team had their ears buzzing, and they looked at the mess there. His own chief was still there just now, laughing at the militia for what the militia had called, neither exploding nor killing anyone. But in an instant, the thing that couldn't smash people exploded. I clearly saw Shi Chang and several of his comrades being torn apart by the bombing. There are no bones left. A few of the old pawns who had been arguing with the Warlord just now were also blown up. Well, it's flying. The lucky man was stunned for about a minute. I saw a cannonball fall not far from me. The pawn threw down the knife, screamed and ran backwards. It was like a signal, and some of the soldiers saw the fall again, and ran around in a panic like headless flies. The Warlords are no longer Warlords. Desperately ran to the back.
