"Load the bullets. Stay down here. No one is allowed to shoot. Wait for the order. Do you hear me?" Huang Yugang yelled.
"heard it."
At this time, it was the first time for these Rumi gunmen to go into actual combat on the battlefield. It would be a lie to say they were not nervous. At this time, some people's mouths were so dry that there was no saliva at all, and some were shivering. Some people don’t know where to put their hands. As soon as I put it on the trigger ring, I was so scared that I quickly took it away.
If it accidentally went off, it would have to be cut down by military law.
Zhang Laosan had never seen a barbed wire fence before, and he looked at the barbed wires hanging on the dark wooden posts ten meters away, floating in the wind. Somewhat unclear.
"Old Huang, tell me, can this thing called a barbed wire fence block those rioters? It's not as effective as blocking horses. This thing is floating around, which makes me very nervous. Zhang Laosan turned around and asked.
Huang Youguang carefully stuck his head out and looked again. He said, "Who says it's not the case? Just these few wire ropes can do a lot of good."
Xiaoqi Huang Yugang scolded: "You two gangsters know nothing. As mentioned above, the horse is heavy and difficult to carry when marching. Moreover, these rebels in Ji Town have a lot of heavy armored infantry. Use those thick logs to make them. If they resist the horse, they will rush up and move it away. Haven't you heard that when fighting Jiannu over there in Liaodong, the heavy armored infantry rushed up and moved the resisting horse away every time, and then the cavalry rushed to kill the fire gunners, and they were defeated? Like a mountain falling."
Zhang Laosan and Huang Youguang took a breath of cold air. This tactic is really effective against fire gun soldiers. The quality of Ming Dynasty's fire cannons was not good, so they might not be able to penetrate Jiannu's triple armor.
If they use heavy infantry hard against muskets. Move away and reject the horse. Then the cavalry rushes to kill. The fire gun soldiers had no resistance at all and could only carry out a one-sided massacre. You can't even run, because humans can't run on four horse legs.
Zhang Laosan said dissatisfiedly: "Then these broken wires will be useful."
Huang Yugang said: "I haven't seen the actual combat effect of this thing. I heard that it floats around without any force and is difficult to climb. You will know after a while."
At this time, another green firework bomb flew into the sky and exploded with a bang. Suddenly a large area in the sky was filled with smoke.
"Stop talking, cover your ears and open your mouth. We're going to fire." Huang Yugang immediately threw himself down on the sloping side wall of the trench, covered his ears and opened his mouth.
At this time, the rebels from all sides had surged up like a tide, reaching within a hundred meters.
At this moment, artillery fire rang out again. The golden bronze cannons spurted out flames one after another. Then he quickly got back in the seat and retracted into the car. (Bronze is golden, and the green bronze we see is an oxide layer formed by oxidation and rust.)
This time it is different from the previous solid spherical bullets. This time the shell emitted not a sharp whistling sound, but a sharp buzzing sound. This kind of business seems to be spreading in all directions. The sound was like a discus impacting forward on a fan. Instead of the previous linear sound.
Firearmsmen all know that artillery is replaced by shotgun shells.
Their shotguns come in several specifications. This kind has one or two weight steel balls in a pack of three hundred rounds. The weight is a little over twenty pounds. One pound is sixteen taels, and a single bullet weighs about thirty grams. This is already a replay. Because there were many rebels on the opposite side holding shields, as well as heavy armored infantry and remaining shield vehicles, still pushing forward.
The shotguns in the car camp were all prepared by Yang Fan during his time. One shot and one shot less. Zhou Yuji is reluctant to use it during training. Before the war, Zhou Yuji personally inspected the warehouse and found one or two weights of heavy shotshells for hitting vehicles and shields, as well as three thousand rounds. There are still 10,000 rounds of medium-sized ammunition for hitting armored heavy infantry. Small projectiles are designed to kill unprotected personnel. Fully four kilograms of rusty and discarded bicycle balls were installed. There are 30,000 rounds of this kind.
Don’t look at the large quantity. However, five hundred guns were lost in one salvo. These stocks are not enough to fire a hundred volleys.
Now that Yang Fan is no longer in the system, such steel balls will no longer be available. If he wants to replenish shotguns in the future, he will have to make them himself. It can only be replaced with steel slag, iron filings or even pebbles.
The use of shotguns must be ordered by Zhou Yuji himself. This shows how much he attaches importance to these steel ball shotguns.
.
This heavy-duty shield-destroying, heavy-duty vehicle ammunition only has enough in stock for six volleys. Zhou Yuji knew that it was the most urgent situation for the rebels to overthrow Tongzhou. Good steel must be used on the blade, and at this time, you have to grit your teeth and take out the hard stuff.
Boom boom boom! Pieces of oval-shaped discus clouds of steel bullets flew forward.
During the flight, the steel balls gradually spread out and the area gradually expanded.
At this time, some of the rebels had already rushed fifty meters away, and some were still around a hundred meters away. We are about to reach the city. Everyone shouted wildly. For a time, the arrogance soared to the sky.
At this moment, a dense rain of steel bullets hit him.
The heavy solid steel balls directly beat the one-foot-thick spliced wooden boards of the shield car into a sieve. These strong elm boards did not play any hindrance and fell apart under the dense rain of steel balls, splashing around in dense The steel ball passed through the wooden shield and swept across the soldiers behind.
There was a popping sound, and one or two heavy bullets directly broke the bones and tendons of the soldiers behind. The crowd fell in a large area like felled wheat.
The soldiers who were holding shields made of tree trunks as thick as an arm's length nailed together, and shields made of bamboo as thick as a bowl, were swept away by the dense rain of steel as steel balls smashed these crudely made large shields to pieces. And passed.
After a round of volley, the insurgent soldiers who came up like a tide were swept away from a distance of fifty to eighty meters. Each dense crowd looked like a chunk had been bitten off.
The momentum of the rebels suddenly stagnated, and the people behind them stopped as if they were frightened.
Before his eyes was a horrifying scene of broken limbs and broken arms, and his liver and brain were shattered. The ground was stained red with flesh and blood.
However, the hesitation lasted less than ten seconds. These people were angry and crazy because of their extreme fear. Howling, he charged forward again.
They stepped on the sticky blood and minced meat ground, slipping and stumbling, rolling and crawling forward. They fell down, got up again, and continued stumbling forward.
Dong Jishu and others were dumbfounded. They did not expect that these rebels in Ji Town had such a strong will.
In fact, their will is not derived from greed for robbery. Rather, it comes from the resentment and indignation of being oppressed by the imperial court accumulated over more than ten years.
Wang Kun was frightened to the point of peeing again. He collapsed on the floor, holding on to the railing with both hands. He saw in the eyes of these rebels the determination to die together.
At this time, a passage he had learned when he was a boy studying in Prince Xin's Mansion suddenly flashed through his mind:
Mencius told King Xuan of Qi: "If the king regards his ministers as his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his belly and heart; if his ministers regard his ministers as dogs and horses, his ministers will regard him as a fellow countryman; if his ministers regard his ministers as earth and mustard, then his ministers will regard him as a bandit." "
