Zhou Changshou felt that his heart was beating wildly, as if it was almost jumping out of his chest.
The pounding heartbeat was even louder than the deafening sound of gunfire.
Holding the blunderbuss, Zhou Changshou walked quickly towards the rear. He looked at the fellow countryman who was standing behind him and walked forward holding the blunderbuss.
"Bang, bang bang!!"
The roar of the musket suddenly exploded from behind his ears. Zhou Changshou trembled all over. He thought of the old gangster with a ferocious face in his field of vision again.
The old gangster was strong and taller than the others around him. Even the nursing home of the Li family, the landowner of Nancun, was not that strong in the past.
The old bandit was wearing thick leather armor and holding a shining steel knife in his hand, which was extremely terrifying.
But that kind of person fell to the ground so easily after being hit by the gun in his hand.
Zhou Changshou held the gun in his hand tightly and walked all the way to the last row.
He took out the paper shell again from the package at his waist. This time he took it out smoothly without any fuss.
Tear open the paper shell, hold the projectile inside with your hands, pour the gunpowder in the paper shell into the primer pot, and then put the projectile into the mouth of the gun.
The sound of gunfire rang out again. Zhou Changshou knew that he had to load the bullet quickly and went to the front row to shoot again.
Zhou Changshou once again felt a little fear in his heart. He was wondering whether the enemy troops might have rushed to the front of the formation after such a long time...
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!!!"
The huge sound of cannons suddenly rang in Zhou Changshou's ears, and Zhou Changshou's hand that was holding a gun to pound the solid projectiles suddenly trembled.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!!!"
The sound of artillery was not just one burst, but one after another, and the sound of cannons continued to sound, continuous and reverberating.
"Mother-child cannon..."
Zhou Changshou felt relieved. During training, he had seen the scene of the cannon called the Franco machine firing and heard the sound. The sound was exactly the same as the sound now.
But he prefers another name for that cannon - the mother-child cannon.
Because the artillery reloads and fires very quickly, you only need to put the sub-cannon into the opening of the rear belly of the mother cannon, hold the fire stick a little, and it will fire. One shot of the bird gun is enough to fire several shots.
On the battlefield, the sound of gunfire continued. Chen Wang rode on his horse and scanned the entire front line condescendingly.
His Sizhong bird cannons have started firing in turns, and smoke is rising from the front of the formation. Although there are not so many bird cannons in the direction of Zuo Si, there are also quite a few three-eyed cannons.
The explosions of the three-eyed cannons continued to ring out in Zuo Si's formation, mixed with the sounds of a lot of bird cannons.
The sound of the three-eyed cannon is several times louder than that of a bird cannon, and the sound is astonishing, like thunder.
Tiger crouching cannons, Fran cannons, bird cannons, three-eyed cannons, all the cannons fired in unison, the sound was like a wave, continuous.
The entire front of the formation was covered by thick white smoke, and the smoke was misty, blowing from the front to the back of the formation under the influence of the northwest wind.
Gunpowder smoke drifted in, blocking Chen Wang's vision. Thick white smoke surrounded his side, seeming to swallow him whole.
Chen Wang held the riding crop in his hand tightly, his palms full of sweat.
After the thick smoke, no one knew what was going on.
The sound of the Folan cannon has stopped. After firing seven or eight rounds in a row, the barrel of the Folan cannon has begun to heat up. It must wait for it to cool down, otherwise there is a danger of the barrel exploding.
The sound of cannons in front has stopped after the last burst. After the Fran cannon stops, the fire cannon soldiers in the front row need to quickly hide behind the shield array to prevent possible impacts.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
A loud sound of war drums suddenly came from the direction of the Chinese army.
Chen Wang suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the Chinese army on the right.
But the smoke was thick and blocked his vision, preventing him from seeing clearly the situation of the Chinese army.
The thick sound of war drums struck Chen Wang's chest one after another, causing Chen Wang's energy and blood to surge continuously.
Immediately afterwards, a sound of killing like a mountain roar and a tsunami was carried into Chen Wang's ears by the strong wind blowing from the northwest.
A strong wind suddenly rose, and the smoke was completely blown away in an instant.
Chen Wang could see the surrounding scene clearly again, and the screams and cries filled his ears.
The front of the formation was full of devastation and chaos, with corpses strewn across the field and pools of blood. The thirty steps in front of the entire formation had almost become a restricted area for life, and no bandit could approach this distance.
The front line of the rogue bandits had been completely defeated. Even the veteran bandits who were supervising the battle were frightened and their morale dropped to the bottom, and they fled back.
But when they wanted to flee backwards, the troops behind them who were supervising the battle had already put down their spears and formed a spear formation.
As long as those in front dare to continue to retreat, they will die.
Some of the cavalry soldiers further behind have also scattered. If anyone wants to bypass the gun array, they can't avoid their head-on blows.
The horse teams arranged by the rogue bandits on both wings were already swarming in to prevent the Ming army's infantry from pursuing them.
However, Chen Wang just glanced at all of this. His eyes did not stay on them, but looked towards the front of the Chinese army.
The roar of the mountains and the tsunami of killing sounds came from the front of the Chinese army.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
The sound of drums shook the sky, the sound of killing boiled, and the sound of horse hooves sounded like thunder.
Cao Bianjiao was wearing fish-scale waist-length armor, a floral brocade war skirt, a pointed iron helmet on his head, and he was leaping on his horse in front of thousands of troops with a horse in his hand.
The fiery red helmet flag on the top of the helmet fluttered in the wind, and the fiery red flag of the generals behind him, which was one foot and five feet high, moved in the headwind and spread out.
A pearl tassel is inserted on it and connected to the pheasant's tail. The eight-foot-five-inch ocher-yellow ribbon is constantly fluttering in the headwind.
The headwind was coming, not only blowing the flags on the top of Cao Bianjiao's helmet, but also blowing the flags and red tassels on the heads of the more than 500 armored riders behind him.
Countless helmet flags and red tassels fluttered in the headwind, like a rolling bloody wave.
Cao Bianjiao's expression was deep, his sword eyebrows were raised, and a heart-stopping murderous intention was flowing in his eyes.
Behind him, more than five hundred armored cavalrymen drew their swords and rested them on their shoulders, drew their bows and set their swords, or held three-eyed blazing guns, waiting for the opportunity to strike.
The roar of thousands of horse hooves striking the ground at the same time was enough to overwhelm all the noise on the battlefield.
The earth receded rapidly like a tide, and more than five hundred armored knights under the leadership of Cao Bianjiao were like sharp knives, piercing through the already chaotic formation of the rogue bandits without any hindrance.
The large formation of rogue bandits was separated like a ripple, and those bandits and hungry people who had no time to escape were all killed by horses' hooves or sharp knives.
