The guys were carrying more than two hundred three-eyed muskets, but they were heavy, and they were walking behind. When they heard about the reward just now, everyone pushed forward and pushed them to the back.
"Quick, fire quickly. This street is so long, we can't go back."
The words awakened the dreamer. If he turned around and ran away on this long street, it would be terrible. With such a long distance and no cover, he would almost be massacred one-sidedly.
The shopkeepers at the back immediately restrained the men they brought with them and ordered them to open fire.
They have no organization or discipline, and each shopkeeper works independently. They put the three-eyed blunderbuss on the shoulders of the people in front and lit the match.
More than two hundred three-eyed muskets were fired unevenly. It was far less uniform than when the Japanese pirates fired before, but fortunately, the three-eyed guns all had three eyes and could fire three rounds of lead bullets continuously, and the distance was only twenty meters, which was the distance where the three-eyed guns exerted their maximum power.
At this time, it was obvious that Kita Honda was inexperienced. He wanted to get closer to the enemy before attacking. Their men were all new recruits, and their shooting performance at a distance of thirty meters was not ideal.
But they didn't know that the enemy on the opposite side had a large number of three-eyed guns.
Another burst of smoke filled the air. At this distance, the three-eyed gun could penetrate the opponent's armor without any problem. Even if it did not penetrate, it would still cause severe blunt trauma.
The three-eye musket was shoddily made, the barrel was of poor quality, and the lead bullets were all flat and out of round. No one knew where they would go when fired.
However, in the current queuing and shooting on the street, in this special terrain, both sides are densely packed with people, and they are all thick formations.
There is no need to worry about missing the target. No matter how it flies, as long as the lead bullet flies forward, it will hit.
On the cultist side, the soldiers in the first row, due to lax training, did not completely hide their bodies under the shields as required. Many of them exposed their heads and looked curiously at the shooting effect in front.
The second row of musketeers did not place their guns on the top edge of their shields as required, leaving only half of their heads exposed to take aim. Because it was uncomfortable to sit down like this, they all stood with guns in hand and fired.
As a result, when the three-eyed gun came over, most of the lead bullets were blocked by the shield, and a burst of sparks flew everywhere.
But a considerable number of lead bullets still hit the shield bearers who exposed their heads out of curiosity, and the musketeers who stood and fired.
Some musketeers simply lifted up their visors in order to facilitate aiming, resulting in being shot in the face. This round of three-eyed blunderbuss directly hit many people's heads, causing them to shatter like rotten watermelons.
A large area in front of the believers was knocked down.
The two opposing fronts were facing each other, and the firelight was shining brightly against each other. A large number of front-line personnel on both sides fell to the ground.
In both flights, three shots are taken each.
Although the three shots of the three-eyed gun also achieved results, at least more than a hundred people on the opposite side were defeated. However, it is difficult to reload the three-eyed gun, and there is basically no time and opportunity to reload it on the battlefield.
After the fight, they stopped firing.
On the believer's side, there were still six lead bullets in the gun chamber that had not been fired.
Fortunately, the usual training worked. The remaining musketeers quickly ignited the remaining bullets, and fired the next six rounds, shooting out all the remaining bullets.
The firepower of the cultists overwhelmed the Three-Eyed Gun.
After the three-eyed blunderbuss fired this round, his true colors were revealed and he became a cold weapon.
After all the nine consecutive rounds of the cultists were fired, the guys here had completely collapsed.
Many people were frightened almost crazy by the continuous firing of firearms.
The close-range musket bullets broke people's bones and tendons, shattered their heads, and some steel ball bullets even penetrated two people. It's not safe to hide behind others. It's just crazy.
After more than 300 people in front were knocked down, the rest immediately turned around and ran away.
"Throw down your shield, draw your sword, and charge forward," Kita Honda immediately howled and issued the order.
The believers immediately chased him with shouts and screams.
Honda Kita breathed a sigh of relief, he was sure to win this time.
In the other direction of the town, at Liyuqiaotou, Li Minhao looked at the surging Minzhuang in the distance and sighed. They were all people of the Ming Dynasty. To be honest, he really didn't want to attack them.
"Prepare your muskets, and fire when they reach the river. Hit them on the head, and fire a few shots from the Crouching Tiger Cannon into the sky. Just scare them."
This small river is only more than ten meters wide, and the Liyu Bridge is a stone arch bridge more than ten feet wide. Lee Min Ho rides on a white horse with a dozen cavalrymen behind him.
A dozen cavalrymen blocked the way of these people.
"Country Party members, those who block the bridge are thieves. Thieves need to be beaten when they come! Let's go up shoulder to shoulder. The master of the Li Mansion said that if you kill one of them, his family will be exempted from three years of land rent. After passing this village, you can There is no such store anymore. All young and old men go there.”
Zhuangtou'er and the martial arts masters shouted and shouted in disgust.
These Zhuangzhuang leaders and martial arts masters are rushing in front. These people must take the lead. These people can only practice a few times a year. Without someone to lead them, they will be in a daze when they go into battle.
"Battal Commander, there are some losers from the Li family in front of us. We can't fight them." Tian Zhen, the leader of the first squadron, asked.
"Hit, none of these Donglin scoundrels are good. I was bankrupted by these civil servants, so I fled to Zunhua. Fortunately, I met you. Otherwise, the whole family would have filled in the trenches."
"Open fire and kill these idiots."
Pirates don't have as many muskets as believers. After all, they buy them with real money.
They only had more than fifty guns. But these fire gate guns all shoot nine rounds in a row. If they are all fired, they can fire nine rounds.
Bang bang bang!
A burst of bullets came over. The river was not deep and could be crossed. Many people saw that the bridge was blocked and were ready to swim over. They all rushed to the river.
Zhuang Tou'er, who happened to rush to the river, was hit head-on by the martial arts masters and armor commanders.
The farmers who had just heard that their family's land rent was exempted for three years were stunned when the muskets were fired. Although they had heard of it, they had never seen muskets.
Three brothers, Hu Youfu, Hu Youlu, and Hu Youcai, were gearing up to chop off a thief's head in exchange for three years of free land rent for their family.
Then they heard a deafening gunshot from the other side, and then the leader Zheng Zhuang who brought them here was stunned.
Master Chen, who directed the people to practice martial arts, didn't get there either. A lead bullet hit his thigh. He screamed and fell into the river holding his thigh.
Brothers Wang Shoujia and Wang Shoucai quickly stretched out their spear poles so that he could catch him and fish him out.
As a result, another round of bullets came and broke the barrel of the spear. Master Chen, who was pulled out of the water, was hit by three bullets this time and fell into the river with a plop, unable to survive.
The Wang Youcai brothers were so frightened that they turned around and ran away.
At this time, seven tiger squatting cannons fired continuously towards the sky.
boom! boom! boom!
The deafening sound of artillery was more terrifying than the sound of gunfire. These farmers had seen this formation before, and when they saw that the leaders were killed, they immediately threw down their weapons and ran away.
More than a thousand people came running in crowds, and others fled in crowds.
Many people lost their shoes, some sprained their feet and limped back.
Li Minhao smiled bitterly and shook his head. What is a rabble? This is a rabble.
On the battlefield, untrained civilians are of no use. It will only drag down military morale.
"Commander, please report to the master. Our troops have defeated Minzhuang. Minzhuang has become discouraged. Our troops have not pursued. Please give instructions on how to proceed."
In Li's Mansion, it was already noon, and only the last large watchtower was left uncaptured. The battle was very fierce at this time.
Yang Fan also didn't expect that there were many Lumi guns on the opposite side.
Yang Fan didn't want too many casualties, so he asked the engineers to dig trenches and gradually get closer to the underground of the watchtower, and then dig holes and blast them.
A pirate camp and a Christian camp that besieged this watchtower followed Yang Fan's instructions, filled them with sand and soil from the sacks seized by the Li Mansion, built a fortification, and fired at them with a small number of steel crossbows with ratchets.
The accuracy of the crossbow is no worse than the Rumi gun, and it can accurately shoot into the one-foot-square shooting port. Both sides suffered casualties for a while.
Yang Fan was hiding behind the sandbag, studying how to blast it. Suddenly there was a loud gunshot, and the sandbags were smashed into pieces, and all the sand flowed out.
Seeing that the sandbag wall was about to collapse, Yang Fan grabbed Taozi and took a few steps to the sandbag fortification behind him before leaving.
Yang Fan felt that it was not safe here, and was about to find a safe place. The guards also reacted, and the shield immediately protected the master. Protect him and retreat.
boom! There was a huge gunshot, and a large-caliber bullet hit the shield. The servant almost lost his shield and suffered severe pain in his arm.
"Sir, you'd better get back. This is a turtle dove gun. It's very powerful." Zhang Geda was anxious, so he pulled Yang Fan's sleeve and pulled him back.
A group of servants rushed up to Yang Fan and ran back. A large number of shield soldiers raised their shields to cover him.
It wasn't until he retreated to the front yard that he put Yang Fan down. Yang Fan turned around and saw Zhang Gudao carrying Taozi's armor and stomach, and then he came.
Zhang Geda knew that this girl was the master's new love and could not be beaten to death. He took away the master and immediately took out this bitch.
Yang Fan touched it and murmured to himself: "The Turtle Dove Gun, there really is such a thing."
He had only looked up this thing on the Internet, but had never actually seen it. Unexpectedly, Dong Lin and his gang were so powerful that they even managed to get this big killer weapon.
The Ming Dynasty imitated the turtle dove gun (also known as the hook gun) based on Portuguese technology.
According to records in Guangdong, if you encounter a thief, you will shoot him. Once you hit him, it will be a bloody road. This blunderbuss is extremely convenient for water battles, as it has enough gunpowder to kill people within a hundred steps with one shot. One bullet can kill several thieves! The hole in the body of the one inside is as big as a bowl. This sharp weapon is really fierce!
The turtle dove gun is five feet two inches (1.73 meters) long, weighs 28 kilograms, has a barrel thickness of one inch and three cents, a caliber of seven cents (21 mm), a medicine of one to two five cents, and a lead bullet that weighs one to two five cents (75 grams).
You must know that the dosage of an ordinary bird-bill gun at that time was only three qian, and the lead bullet was only two to three qian (10 to 15 grams). The turtle dove gun bullets were heavy, and four lead bullets could be loaded at one time. You can imagine this How terrifying is the turtle dove gun.
This thing is too heavy and can only be used in the castle or carried in a vehicle in the field. It needs to be installed with a bracket when launching.
Yang Fan was having a headache. The penetrating power of this thing was too strong. If he charged hard, the casualties would not be small. Lin Yueru came from behind.
"Sir, the bank has been found. It's not under the watchtower at all. It's under the rockery in the garden. I used your metal detector to find it. The engineers are preparing to blast it, and they will be able to open the iron door soon."
