He saw what Dashun Jun wanted to do, and also thought of what the young master had said to him before. In this world, firearms are not everything. For example, if the enemy is hiding in a deep cave and you want to deal with them, ordinary guns and cannons will have no effect.
For another example, if the enemy wears enough protective gear, bullets will not be so easy to kill them.
Thinking about these words and looking at the situation in front of him, Ji Jinkai felt worried. What worried him even more was that more than 60 quasi-dragon soldiers had suffered backlash injuries from the counterattack that lasted for half an hour.
In Zhu Changwu's words, this is called shooting sequelae, which refers to the recoil damage caused by improper operation or long-term shooting during the shooting process.
For half an hour, under almost non-stop shooting, the arms of more than 60 people became swollen and weak, or simply could not be lifted up, and they had to withdraw from the battle.
There are less than two hundred people left, and their situation is not much better. They are afraid that if they continue to shoot for half an hour, they will fall.
There are really too many Dashun troops, so many that it seems impossible to kill them all.
And now, the opponent has added protective gear, which will virtually enhance their ability to resist. Once the Dashun Army sees that this is useful, I am afraid they will soon make changes and launch attacks again and again. If this is the case, as time goes by, the first person who cannot hold on will definitely be themselves.
"My lord, my lord, where have you been and why haven't you shown up yet?"
At this moment, Ji Jinkai missed Zhu Changwu very much. In this current situation, if the young master is still here, there will definitely be a way to solve the problem.
It's just that Ji Jinkai is very rational. He knows that when Zhu Changwu suddenly leaves, there must be more urgent things to do. What he has to do now is to rely on himself.
"Ling Xiaoyun, your sharpshooter team will soon find a way to get more headshots and less hits on the enemy's body."
"Ru Honghai's heavy machine gun team needs to lower the muzzle of their guns when firing. I don't know how many bullets were shot into the sky just now. It's not a waste."
"Yang Tiezhu, your artillery team is going to fire at a crowded place, like three or two enemies. Don't pay attention to them. Other comrades will naturally deal with them."
Without a better way, Ji Jinkai could only cheer up the soldiers and point out their mistakes just now, so that they could attack the enemy more effectively in the future.
The Dragon Soldiers were making adjustments, and the Dashun Army on the opposite side, each of the two thousand soldiers wrapped like rice dumplings, was also ready.
"You just have to charge for a while. You have to believe that with the clothes you are wearing now, unless the opponent's gunpowder can hit your head, you will not be injured. And as long as you can charge halfway, you will attract the Ming army to attack you. Shoot, you can run back, this is your chance of survival, do you understand?"
Tian Jianxiu rode up to the two thousand Dashun troops who had been prepared and cheered them up.
In fact, he himself didn't know whether this would have any effect. But some things always have to be tried. He also believed that wearing such thick clothes should be effective against the attack of gunpowder, but he just didn't know how effective it would be.
The two thousand Dashun troops heard that they could return to the barracks after half the charge. They originally thought they would die, but they all saw a glimmer of hope, and then nodded their heads one by one.
For them, there is no other option now.
"Okay, I'm waiting for you to return victorious, general. Go ahead." With encouragement in his eyes, Tian Jianxiu waved his hand, and followed the two thousand soldiers like sheep out of the circle, one by one towards the surrounded people. The Ming army rushed forward.
"Don't be in a hurry to shoot, just keep shooting closer."
When Ji Jinkai saw that the Dashun Army finally launched a charge and quickly entered within the effective range of the attack, he did not issue an order to counterattack.
There are only two thousand Dashun troops coming this time. Even if they all rush to him, it doesn't matter. There are fifty thousand troops behind him.
Under everyone's attention, the Dashun Army was getting closer and closer to them. When they were only about two hundred steps or three hundred meters away, Ji Jinkai shouted out with the sound of a hit.
Boom boom boom boom...
The sound of gunshots and cannons mingled together at this moment, and rushed straight into the crowd of Ming soldiers who were rushing towards them.
As soon as the Ming army opened fire here, the two thousand Dashun troops who rushed towards them turned around and ran away.
The order they received was that as soon as the Ming army took action, they would flee. Those who could escape would have completed their mission and saved their lives.
According to information, in 1881, American physicist George Goodfellow heard that a businessman was shot and survived unharmed. Miraculously, what saved his life was the businessman he folded and placed in his chest pocket. silk handkerchief. But looking back now, there is no need to be too shocked, because that piece of silk is bulletproof, and the most important thing is that it is long-distance and low-speed bullets.
For example, the Dashun Army only made their clothes thicker and of poor quality, and Ji Jinkai deliberately moved closer to attack. It is conceivable that the fate of these two thousand Dashun Army was already doomed.
After a burst of gunfire, all two thousand people finally fell on the road running back. This scene fell into Liu Zongmin's eyes, making him sigh and shake his head.
Tian Jianxiu, on the other hand, looked thoughtful.
He had a feeling that if he thickened his defense, he could block the opponent's new firearms. If not, why didn't the Ming army just attack from a distance like they did at the beginning, but had to wait for these people to approach? After shooting, why did the other party do this?
In other words, what are you afraid of?
Obviously, there is no shortage of smart people in the world. Even this small change was noticed by Tian Jianxiu. "Come here, find two thousand sets of armor and have them put on."
Tian Jianxiu will continue to experiment. Anyway, the most indispensable thing on their side is people. The Ming Dynasty has been corrupted, and many people are oppressed and cannot even eat. Wherever the banner of the Dashun Army is raised, a group of vassals will appear. Are you afraid that you will not be able to find available soldiers?
There were still tests to be done, but Liu Zongmin did not stop him. Anyway, they are the attacking party now, and the initiative is in their hands. As long as these Ming troops didn't break out, he could just let them waste time. He wanted to see if they were surrounded like this. As time went by, there would be no food or drink. What would these Ming troops do?
Liu Zongmin wanted to delay time and then look for an opportunity. Zhu Changwu had thought about this idea one step ahead and had a countermeasure.
Just when two thousand sets of armor were being taken off from some old battalion soldiers and gathered together, there was a sudden sound from behind them.
Due to the distance, it wasn't really heard, but with good eyesight, you could still see smoke rising behind the sound.
"Is that where the king's tent is?" Among the crowd, Liu Tichun's voice rang out first.
He had just left there and soon ran into Bai Heming who was retreating with his defeated troops. Although it was said that they quickly followed the main force and surrounded the Ming army, in fact, he had been beating drums in his heart.
Especially after learning from Bai Heming that Liu Rukui had also died in battle, he became even more unable to calm down. In his eyes, the Ming army in front of him was difficult to defeat. Even if they could really be eliminated, the price would have to be paid several times.
That would require the death of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands or more people to achieve victory. Liu Tichun thought it was not worth it.
The Ming Dynasty is about to collapse, and there is no need to pay such a high price to deal with a dynasty that is rotten to the core. Instead of fighting hard and winning a lose-lose situation in order to capture the city of Beijing, it would be better to take a step back and wait for the right opportunity to attack.
For example, Jiannu has always been very dishonest. If he withdraws, others may rush forward. At that time, whether the Ming army or the Tatars will be severely damaged, isn't it a favorable thing for their Dashun army?
He had such thoughts in his mind, but Liu Tichun did not say it out loud. He was worried that if he did, Li Zicheng would say later that he was afraid of fighting. The King Dashun of his own was not very big-minded, and he did not see that many capable people in the army, but those who did not completely surrender to Li Zicheng, died inexplicably?
Although Liu Tichun considered himself to be a direct descendant of Li Zicheng, there were some things that he should not say by himself, and he would not say them casually. Anyway, he was just here to watch the fun this time. Even if Liu Zongmin or Tian Jianxiu gave him the order to attack, the ones who would die would only be ordinary soldiers of no importance, and neither he nor the soldiers of the old camp would charge.
With the idea of watching the fun, Liu Tichun and Bai Heming, who was also afraid of being killed, stood beside the generals, watching everything in front of them, and then they were shocked by the powerful lethality of the Ming army.
More than 40,000 Dashun troops launched a charge, but no one could rush to the side of the Ming army. This powerful counterattack ability made them unable to accept it for a while, and at the same time they were really scared.
Now, not one person has the same idea as Liu Tichun, but many generals are also thinking in their hearts whether it is worth it just to destroy the 50,000 Ming army in front of them with such a huge loss.
Just when everyone was thinking, there was movement in the rear. When Liu Tichun asked if that was the king's tent, all the generals looked blank at first. After they realized it, they were like ants on a hot pot. Unable to calm down.
Facts have proved that not all the Ming army is here, they have separated a branch to attack the king's tent.
The Ming army in front of them was only a few hundred people, and they could block the attack of tens of thousands of Dashun troops. So if the Ming army with new weapons threatens the king's tent, can it be stopped by the 30,000 troops left in the king's tent?
The answer is yes, it will definitely be unstoppable.
