Chapter 178: Shooting

With a "snap", a fire commander of the Inspector Battalion pulled the trigger, and the heavy Lumi gun in his hand spewed out a fierce firelight, and the projectile that was almost the same as the bird gun shot out rapidly.

Although Lu Mi hurriedly lowered his head after shooting, in order to avoid several sharp arrows rushing towards him, in the corner of his eye, he still saw a long bloody arrow burst out of the chest of a Tartar soldier on the opposite side, and flew outward.

Lu Mi's armor-piercing ability is really worthy of its reputation, although the Tartar archer is wearing iron-inlaid cotton armor, but his body is pierced by him, two holes in the front and back, the hole in the back is larger than the front, don't want to live. Lu Mi secretly cheered, hiding behind the earthen wall and nervously reloading.

If it is a good bird gun or Lu Mi gun in the Ming army, in fact, their gun loading steps are no different from the new army of Xiahezhai, and now many elite troops in the Ming army have used a method similar to fixed ammunition, carrying the amount of gunpowder and projectiles separately, and taking it directly when loading. Although this method is not as fast as the fixed ammunition, it is also much stronger than before.

Dressed in iron-clad armor, he carried a gunpowder jar filled with propellant, a gunpowder jar filled with a fire gate, and finally a lead bag full of projectiles. Whether it is a fire gate primer or a propellant, it is made of copper tubes, and each tube is exactly filled with a gun of medicine, which is evenly divided, and the only thing that is lacking is that it is combined into a fixed cartridge ammunition.

I saw that he skillfully took out a tube of gunpowder from his gunpowder canister and poured the gunpowder into the gunpowder, which was also granular gunpowder. When pouring the medicine, Lu Mi's hand is used to being natural, and he uses his thumb and index finger to surround the mouth of the gunpowder to prevent the gunpowder from withdrawing, and he is powerless not far after the gunpowder is released.

Then Lu Mi quickly took out the cane and put it into the pipe a few times to build the gunpowder. He took a lead pellet from the lead bag, wrapped it in tissue paper, and put it in it, and brought it to the bottom of the puff with a cane. Finally, Lu Mi took out a tube of primer from the powder jar he had filled with the primer of the fire gate, but it was a finer particle of gunpowder, poured it into the fire gate pool, and closed the lid.

Lu Mi's hands were fast, and it didn't take much time for him to complete this dazzling series of movements. When it was all done, he tapped the eye of the fire, blew the fire rope, and tiptoed the hammer against the earthen wall.

At this moment he meditated, closed his left eye, and looked at the rear door of the fire gadolinium with his right eye, and aimed at the star in front of him, and aimed at a Tartar archer. As the firearms bearers of the Supervisory Battalion, everyone was naturally not convinced by the achievements of the Xiahezhai New Army, and they wanted to prove that the Supervisory Battalion was the most elite soldier in this Ming army.

At this time, the Tartar archer whom Lu Mi was aiming at was extremely short, with a full beard and a blue cotton armor with red trim, and was obviously a soldier with a blue flag inlaid with a blue flag. At this time, the Tartar soldier was exhaling a thick white breath from his mouth, and after shooting a few arrows, it seemed that the arrows fired again seemed to be weak.

Fighting in such a cold winter weather, the physical consumption is extremely great, especially when the bow is shot and the whole body strength is consumed rapidly. This is also one of the places where the fire gun is superior to the bow and arrow, which requires quite little physical strength, and only needs the strength to pull the trigger.

After carefully looking at it for a while, Lu Mi Decisively pulled the trigger and "snapped", and the projectile pierced the right chest of the Tartar archer, shooting him diagonally and turning him over.

The blue-flaged archers also deserved to be unlucky, and after shooting a few arrows in his wave of archers, he could retreat and replace them with the other groups of archers waiting behind him. Unexpectedly, after the archer shot six or seven arrows in a row, he was still unsatisfied, and wanted to shoot the last arrow, and finally lost his life.

The rapid projectile pierced through the body of the blue-flagged tartar and peeked through his back, and the blue-clad archer took several steps back before slamming against the low wall behind him, slowly sliding down, leaving a trail of oozing blood. At this moment, his eyes were wide open, his eyes were full of disbelief, he wanted to say something, but finally opened his mouth, said nothing, and died silently.

Once again, Lu Mi knocked over a Qing archer, causing a rain of arrows for frenzied revenge. The bird gunners of the Ming army on the opposite side, especially the dozens of people among them, are really a terrifying existence.

Many of our warriors have died under their guns, all of them pierced through two eyes, and their whole bodies were pierced by them. At this time, the Qing soldiers and horses on the battlefield couldn't figure it out, and they couldn't think about it, because there were more firearms firing, and those Tartar soldiers could only continue to fight, while keeping an eye on their surroundings and dodging the lead bullets that came from them.

After Lu Mi finished beating this gun, he shrank under the earthen wall again for a long time without showing his head, but his hands were busy quickly. A self-made firecracker beside him gave him a thumbs up, and the two of them smiled at each other, but both wore iron masks, but they couldn't see the expressions on each other's faces. Lu Mi is still satisfied with his results, their team is the Lu Mi commander who supports Yang Guozhu, the general soldier of Xuanfu Town, not to mention others, since yesterday afternoon alone, he has killed and wounded at least ten Tartar soldiers, and other brothers have also gained a lot.

Their performance is a testament to the excellent quality of the firearms bearers of the Supervising Battalion. Good firearms always need to be used by good soldiers to be able to exert their maximum power. The soldiers in the battalion are skilled in the operation of firearms, and with excellent equipment, they naturally form a strong fighting force.

In the two days of fighting, the self-made firearms of the Inspector Battalion also showed their skills, no need for fireropes, cold weather can fight, compared to firearms such as bird guns, Lumi guns, etc., the loading steps during the battle are greatly simplified, in the same time, more lead bullets can be fired. The use of this firearm is not cumbersome and gives people a sense of relaxation.

However, there is also a problem with this self-generated firebolt, that is, the flintlock pistol, that is, when the trigger is pulled, the force required by the index finger is too high, which greatly affects the aiming and shooting of the firecracker. Moreover, after the flint is fired, the ignition powder is often not ignited, and the plate machine needs to be deducted several times, which is really fatal.

For such a situation, many self-made firecrackers are scolding, and they are all thinking that after today's battle, they will return to the camp and exchange the firecrackers back for bird guns or Lumi guns.

Lu Mi's overturning of a Qing army caused a large rain of crazy retaliatory arrows, in fact, this rain of arrows, placed in the entire left flank defense line of the Xuanda camp, is only an insignificant small part of the arrows in the sky. Even Lu Xiangsheng's two hundred musketeers who supported Yang Guozhu fired the projectiles they fired were also only a small part of the projectiles fired by the Ming army on the left flank.

At this time, Yang Guozhu's left flank defense line had already been consumed by the Ming army's three-eyed guns, rockets, etc., and the Qing army's bows and arrows.

At this time, the Qing army was crazy with arrows, and the officers and men of the Ming army were also red-eyed. By the afternoon, the Qing army, which had attacked the two wings of the Ming army, had pushed their layers of wooden shields closer to a distance of thirty or twenty paces from the earthen wall.

At this distance, the heavy arrows of the Qing army could already break through the armor of the soldiers of Yang Guozhu and Hu Daweizheng's barracks. One by one, the bird-bearers, the three-eyed gunskeepers, or the archers were shot to the ground by their arrows. The heavy arrows fired by the Qing army pierced their cotton armor, iron armor, or iron masks, and shot deep into their bodies.

The Qing army attacked very fiercely, and they gathered a large number of archers on both flanks. If there were thousands of Qing archers attacking the frontal defense line of the new army in Xiahezhai, then the Qing army attacking the two flanks of the Xuanda camp reached more than 10,000 respectively. They attacked in multiple batches, and it seemed that the offensive would never stop.

To this extent, Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei have already bet all the cold weapons in the camp, and the cold weapons in their camp have archers, hook gunners, rakers and other soldiers in each team. Each soldier carried a bow and arrow. After these men were charged, the firearms men were able to catch their breath at noon, and to rest for a while, so that they could have a mouthful of food.

The deafening sound of three-eyed guns and rockets kept ringing, and the area around the earthen wall on Yang Guozhu's left wing was all shrouded in the extremely thick smoke from the Daodao.

The dense layers of three-eyed guns of the soldiers in the camp were all erected on the earthen wall, and the firelight continued to emerge from the mouths of the people, and the loud sound of "boom, boom, boom, boom" continued. The three-eyed gun is more famous than the sound of firecrackers, and the smoke coming out of the mouth of the gun is also famous.

Moreover, the rate of fire of the three-eyed gun is also very fast, and it will not lose to the bow and arrow of the Qing soldiers at all. Or the three-eyed gun shared by the medicine pot, as long as there is a little coal, it is the ammunition of the three guns that are sprayed out at the same time.

At a distance of twenty or thirty paces, the Ming army's three-eyed guns were also a huge threat to those Qing soldiers who had no armor to fill in the trenches, and perhaps the Qing archers who were wearing iron-inlaid cotton armor to shoot arrows also had a huge threat, and at this moment, the projectiles shot by the Ming army's three-eyed guns were dense and large, and there was a firepower advantage that could not be compared with the birds, and the Qing soldiers on the opposite side fell to the ground one by one, and the blood flowed like a river.

Even if the Qing soldiers on the opposite side were not killed by the three-eyed bullets, they would not easily survive, because the Ming army also used dense rockets.

The thunder of the rocket when it was fired was non-stop, and in front of the earthen wall on Yang Guozhu's left flank, the whistling of the rocket seemed to have not stopped. Flying spears, flying knives, flying swords, a swarm of bees, and a hundred tigers running together and other big rockets, always rushing forward like a torrential wind The wooden shield of the Qing army dozens of paces forward.

The wooden shield that shot the Qing army was like a hedgehog, and every wave of rockets sounded, it flew out with all the Qing archers who dared to show their heads, or the auxiliaries who threw mud.

While the soldiers of the Ming army on both wings were launching all kinds of large rockets, the Ming army on both wings also continued to launch pilot rockets with the intention of burning the wooden shield of the Qing army.

This time into the guard, Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei carried a lot of rockets, arrows coated with grease can be ignited, and arrows have gunpowder to launch and propulsion. The rakers in both flanks put this kind of rocket on their own rakes, and then ignited and launched them.

At a distance of twenty or thirty paces, most of the wooden shields of the Qing army were large targets that were more than one person tall and two people wide, and none of them missed. However, most of the wooden shields are made of rough wood that has been cut down, and each rough wood is as thick as a person's thighs and calves, and it is clammy and verdant, although the cold wind is gusting at this time, it is difficult to burn the wooden shield.

It was only when the rocket hit the wooden shields nailed with a few thick planks that the wooden shields burst into flames, and the cold wind blew in gusts, and the fire was mixed with a very thick smoke, which was extremely uncomfortable. The Qing soldiers who were hiding behind the wooden shields all hurriedly retreated and dodged behind the remaining wooden shields.

Every piece of wooden shield that ignites will cause chaos in the surrounding area. However, there are too few such wooden shields, and they still can't change the overall situation of the Qing army's advance step by step.

Some people died, but not completely......
