There were 12 soldiers including himself on the wooden boat Zhu Youjian was on. Because they were afraid that the boat would capsize, they could not concentrate on one side of the boat, but divided them equally between the left and right sides. On the starboard side facing the enemy were placed six gunners, responsible for shooting black guns. There are also 6 people on the port side, responsible for loading.
The little emperor Zhu Youjian was unrivaled in his gun skills, and of course he was on the starboard side. He first put up a shield to cover his body to avoid being hit by the opponent's arrows... Although he was wearing plate armor, he was still afraid of what might happen!
After setting up the shield, Zhu Youjian remembered that there were two confused civil servants on the ship... The officials were confused, but they were not bad people. One of them was beheaded by Zhu Youjian in his previous life (the unlucky Shanxi governor) Geng Ruqi, because the troops sent by King Qin mutinied during the Rebellion, so he was stabbed, which is quite unjust when you think about it). It would be too sad to be shot to death by the Western thieves again in this life. So Chongzhen handed them two more round shields and asked them to put them on their heads to block the arrows.
At this time, a young guard in charge of loading had already handed a loaded Lumi gun to Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Youjian knelt half-kneeling and placed the blunderbuss on the upright shield - there was a groove on the top of the shield, which was just convenient for setting up the blunderbuss. After setting up the musket, Zhu Youjian began to take aim. There are not many storms and waves on the Yellow River now, and the water level is also very shallow (there has been drought in northern Shaanxi and northern Shanxi, so of course there is not much water in the Yellow River), but there are still some ups and downs. However, these ups and downs are not a problem for Zhu Youjian, who is a skilled gunman. Nowadays, ships are equipped with big bird guns and big turtle dove guns. What does the wind and waves on the Yellow River mean? Moreover, the rebels on the beach on the west bank of the Yellow River 40 steps away were densely packed, so they were relatively easy to hit.
"Bah, bah, bah..."
The sound of gunshots sounded, and 30 Lumi guns fired almost at the same time! Deadly lead bullets spurted out from the muzzle accompanied by a burst of white smoke, passing over the water of the Yellow River to kill the unsuspecting rebel soldiers.
Perhaps it was because the gunmen were still not used to firing cannons on the floating water, so the first wave of cannon fire was not very effective. They only knocked down five or six rebel soldiers, and they were killed on the spot. There were only two of them, and the remaining people all screamed!
That was a lead bullet weighing three cents that was forcefully drilled into the flesh! Even if it misses the vital point and pierces the hands and feet, it is still a matter of death or disability - the surgical skills of these days are not good. If there is no skill in cutting up a living person to remove bullets, there is only a certain chance of chopping off the hands and feet. One life was lost. No matter how hard you hold on without removing the bullet or cutting off your hands and feet, you can only wait for the wound to become inflamed and suppurative.
However, the voices of three or four people were insignificant to the tens of thousands of noisy rebels on the beach on the west bank of the Yellow River. The archers of the rebel army also saw the wooden boats on the river firing muskets, so they started shooting arrows randomly without waiting for Wang Jiayin's order.
But the bows in their hands were too weak, their archery skills were poor, and they were a little far away from the six small wooden boats on the river, so they couldn't shoot anything at all, they were just watching the fun. Moreover, the Ming troops on the small wooden boats were not only protected by shields, but they were also all covered in armor. Most of them were covered in plate armor, which could not be penetrated by arrows fired from soft bows forty steps away.
The archery shooting was lively on one side, but the black gun on the other was effective. Although there were only 60 gunners on the six wooden boats, 90 Rumi guns were prepared, and they were loaded and fired in turn. And except for Zhu Youjian himself, the other gunmen are all young soldiers from the Zhangqian Army. They train together all day long. Not only are their skills first-rate, but they also cooperate well and shoot quickly. Before long, three to four hundred rounds were fired. Moreover, this group of gun shooters also found the feeling of shooting on the water - they have all practiced, but after all, they are not as familiar as shooting on flat ground. Now that I have found the feeling, my shooting accuracy has improved. Three to four hundred rounds of black guns killed seventy or eighty people!
For an army with more than 10,000 people, seventy or eighty casualties are indeed nothing, but the six small wooden boats brought by Zhu Youjian were almost connected end to end on the water, and the unfolded front was not wide. Facing them were two to three thousand Western thieves huddled together. Among them, the main ones who were shot were the hundreds of archers who had gathered in the front row. Seventy or eighty of the hundreds of people were killed and injured, which was a heavy casualty. The arrowheads they fired seemed to be of no use, and most of them couldn't even reach the wooden boats.
Who can withstand this kind of battle in which people are shot without fighting back, and suffer heavy losses. The wounded in front of the position are screaming and no one is treating them?
Not to mention a bunch of rabble, even hundreds of Manchurian Batulu will not do it!
Watching the black guns on the opposite side fire wave after wave, and they hit extremely accurately... The most annoying thing is, what kind of guns are used by these Ming army guns? After fighting for so long, why didn't one of them explode?
"Bah, bah, bah..."
The gunshots continued to sound, and waves of lead bullets not only hit the bodies of the Western thieves, but also hit their nerves. No matter how thick the nerves are, there will be times when they can't stand it!
Finally, when Zhu Youjian fired his 18th lead bullet in this battle, the rebel archers on the opposite side who were already dead and wounded could no longer stand.
I don’t know who it was, but the first one shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Hunjun is awesome, pull him!"
When someone shouted, someone followed. The rebel archers who had been frightened by a certain fool using a black gun all shouted and ran back.
"Hunjun is so awesome, so..."
"Hunjun is so awesome..."
This guy is already unconscious, but he's still so powerful. If he's not fainted... then what's the point?
And of course the powerful Hun Jun can do more than just use the black spear. On the beach on the east bank of the Yellow River, 12 3-pound black cannons have been ready.
The person commanding these cannons was Zhang Tao, one of Sun Yuanhua's capable subordinates. He was a fellow countryman of Sun Yuanhua and a scholar who became a Catholic. Because he spent too much time studying Western science and technology and delayed his career, he only had the title of scholar, which was not as good as Sun Yuanhua's title of scholar. Therefore, he could only serve as a subordinate to Sun Yuanhua and manage the cannon together.
However, his 12 3-pound cannons did not have much lethality against the rebels who were almost a mile away. After all, they were 3-pound cannons, not 6-pound or 12-pound cannons, and their effective range was not that far. But it can still be fired...and the momentum of the 12 cannon salvos is also very scary.
According to Zhu Youjian's order, these 12 cannons were used to scare people.
Now the rebels on the other side of the Yellow River have begun to loosen up. If the 12 cannons fire again, they will almost collapse.
"Hunjun has a cannon, Hunjun is powerful, wow!"
As soon as the cannon fired, the rebel front, which had begun to shake, finally showed signs of collapse. It was just a black gun, but it was already so powerful! Now they are intensifying their black guns... What are you guys waiting for if you don't talk nonsense?
At this time, Wang Jiayin, the leader of the peasant uprising, could no longer control the situation! He had only been the king of Fugu for a short time, so he lacked experience and prestige. If he encounters the starving Ming army, he can be on par with them and even grow bigger. Now he is fighting against the black spearmen in front of the tent who are at the same level as the Eight Banners white-armored soldiers (in a one-on-one duel, the black spearmen are not afraid of the Eight Banners white-armored soldiers). Is it still possible?
The leaders of Gao Yingxiang, Cao Cao, Chuang Taotian, Wang Zuogai, Feishanhu, Big Red Wolf, Lao Huihui, etc. who had just joined the group were more alert. When they saw something was wrong, they no longer listened to Wang Jiayin's command, and all went there with their confidants. Run inside Fugu City... Since Hunjun is powerful, let's move quickly! It looks like there are a lot of good things in Fugu City, so go grab one before leaving!
Wang Jiayin was also dumbfounded. How was this battle fought?
There was no real fight between the two sides, so he was already defeated? Could it be that the Ming Dynasty is not exhausted yet? Is your counterattack a little too early?
When he was feeling dizzy, someone beside him suddenly pulled him. He turned around and saw that it was his military advisor, Monk Wang.
"Brother," Monk Wang shouted nervously, "Hunjun's boat has moved again. They are going to land. Hunjun is powerful, so run away!"
"Run?" Wang Jiayin was unhappy, "How many people can be carried in only a few boats? I don't believe it. Is this foolish king really three-headed and six-armed? Anyone who is not afraid of death will follow him and fight with that foolish king! Kill that foolish king. , robbed the Ming Dynasty of flowers and mountains!"
