Korea, Tamluo, Zhoucheng, Nanzhi Street, side alleys.
For a long time, people have believed that the flintlock gun is an outdated weapon with low accuracy, short range, and troublesome loading! I feel that the European ghost guys wear brightly colored military uniforms, hold flintlock guns of different calibers, and then line up neatly in horizontal lines or columns to play queuing and shooting, which is an out-and-out *** behavior! But is this really the case? The answer may subvert your knowledge!
You know, the white-skins relied on the powerful combination of flintlock guns, front-loaded smoothbore cannons, and Galen ships, but they often bullied the indigenous tribes or feudal countries! Even until the First Japanese War, the main weapon equipped by the British lobster soldiers, who were invincible in the world, was still the Brown Bess flintlock gun made in India!
However, even so, the British army, which was not numerically superior, still easily defeated the Qing army, which was several times their size, and forced the Eastern empire, which claimed to be the Celestial Kingdom, to sign a series of disagreements with them in Nanjing. After the treaty of equality, they were still unsatisfied and ceded the most dazzling pearl at the Pearl River Estuary, Hong Kong, from the Qing government. This caused the great Chinese civilization to fall into a long period of internal and external troubles!
The magic weapon that helped those British bandits succeed was neither the classic Lee Enfield gun, nor the rising star Mosin Nagant, nor the chicken-eating weapon Mauser 98k! The advanced weapons they were proud of and relied on to win were just some front-loaded flintlock guns that would appear to future generations to be extremely crude and without any technical content! However, these inconspicuous front-mounted flintlock guns exploded with great power in the hands of those veterans of many battles! Not only can they maintain a terrifying rate of fire of two to three lead bullets per minute, but they can also ensure that they can hit wherever they point within a range of one hundred meters!
Of course, those who can do this are basically the best of the best, good hands, and ordinary musketeers don't have this ability! Otherwise, there is no need to set up a grand formation with great fanfare and use volleys of guns to eliminate the enemy's effective forces! After talking about the performance of the flintlock gun before, let’s talk about the power of the flintlock gun. According to the data obtained by later generations of enthusiasts, if a well-made flintlock gun is matched with enough high-quality black powder, the bullets fired will be In addition to being fatal to people at a distance of two to three hundred meters, it can also easily penetrate a board over five centimeters thick at the same distance! This power is much stronger than those crossbows! After all, the arrows fired by the crossbow can barely reach this distance, not to mention whether they can reach this distance. As the old saying goes, "A strong crossbow cannot penetrate Lu Yi", and it cannot do any damage to the human body or wood at all. Any threat!
In addition, training musketeers is much simpler than archers! At the same time, the archers using crossbows are still training in full swing, while the musketeers using flintlocks have probably completed all basic training courses and begun to initially form combat effectiveness! Which one is better or worse between the two, a discerning person will know at a glance! Therefore, Chiyang's various troops quickly eliminated the lethality of bows and arrows without hesitation, and began to install flintlock guns on a large scale. Only certain special forces would use crossbows when performing missions!
"Defensive grenade, fire it! One, two, three, everyone throw it in!"
Seeing that the rebels under Chang Hao, despite the choking smoke, still gritted their teeth and stubbornly resisted their own attack! Commander He Guocai and Commander He Da, who were responsible for commanding the flag army, couldn't help but feel anxious. He finally got a job as a vanguard from Shangguan Qin Gu, how could he sit back and watch his side stop at this and not make any further progress? The guy who urgently needed to achieve enough military exploits to clear himself of the crime of not knowing people just thought for a moment and gave the order to throw defensive grenades to the temporary subordinates around him!
"Boom boom boom..."
Defensive grenade, defensive grenade, as the name suggests, is a defensive grenade! This type of grenade contains less gunpowder and lead bullets than an offensive grenade, and its power is naturally far less than the latter! But it has an advantage, that is, it will not kill people directly. The reduced charge and ammunition allow it to only kill and stun enemies within a narrow range! Qin Gu had previously ordered He Guocai to try to capture Chang Hao alive, so now is the time to use defensive grenades!
"One more thing, Chang Hao's gang members were originally from the Banner Army and reserve soldiers. Let's be careful of capsizing in the gutter!"
The next moment, as He Guocai shouted loudly again, the former
A dozen Chiyang Banner soldiers in the platoon immediately took out defensive grenades weighing more than a kilogram from their waists, and then helped each other light the powder on the top of the grenade. After silently reciting one, two, three in their hearts, they tried their best to attack He threw it at the place where Chang Hao and others were!
"Uh, my face, my face was shot! Fourth, help me, help me!"
"Help, my leg is broken, please help me! Oh, it hurts so much, it hurts me so much!"
"Quick, find a place to hide. The losers are starting to use grenades. We only have muskets. It's us who will suffer the consequences!"
Soon, as dull explosions continued to sound in the house, two or three unlucky guys who were caught off guard fell to Chang Hao's side in an instant! They didn't expect that their opponent was such a dog. After lighting the grenade, he didn't throw it directly, but waited quietly for three seconds before throwing it! There was no way to hide now, and when they couldn't avoid it, they took a free flight on a local plane in an instant!
When the remaining people saw that the situation was not good, they immediately dragged the injured person to move behind a stronger obstacle! They are all elite soldiers who have been fighting for a long time. Therefore, after being attacked, they can subconsciously make the most correct response without Chang Hao's verbal command! To be honest, the furnishings, tables, chairs, and walls in the house blocked most of the explosions and lead bullets! Otherwise, Chang Hao and his group of more than a dozen people will all have to explain themselves here today!
It should be noted that the powerful combination of high-quality black powder and lead bullets can exert a power that is as simple as one plus one equals two! It is no exaggeration to say that the grenades currently used by the Chiyang Banner Army and reserve troops are no different from modern grenades, except that the internal filling of the projectile is black powder and the firing method is ignited by an open flame. The outside is also decorated with prefabricated pieces made of pig iron!
Therefore, after two rounds of defensive grenade attacks by the Banner Army, Chang Hao's rebel soldiers immediately carried the wounded and began to move their positions! They are not stupid. After being beaten, they still stay there stupidly and risk their lives. That is not brave, that is called stupidity! After all, the human body is just flesh and blood, so how can it really compete directly with cold steel! Although the defensive grenade has the word "defense" in its name, its power cannot be underestimated at all! Within a range of five to ten meters, if you are hit by the shock wave of its explosion or scattered fragments, lead bullets!
So congratulations! Because you will soon be able to get a disability certificate, or a ticket to hell! With timely treatment, if you are in good physical condition, you can still live for a few more years on crutches and swinging from your sleeve; if you are unlucky, you may just close your eyes and go down to sell salted duck eggs with your comrades who died in the battle earlier. Got it! As for my wife and children, I can’t even take care of them! Not to mention that in the future, my pension will be squandered by other men, my wives and concubines will be ruined by other men, and even my own children will be beaten and scolded by other men at will! In short, if you don’t have the abilities of those superheroes in Marvel, it’s better not to act like a hero randomly! Thinking of this, the rebel soldiers around Chang Hao carried their injured companions and quickly moved to the room further behind!
"How much ammunition does the Hikaru Cannon have? If there is more, fire two rounds of explosive shells to block the attack of the losers..."
"My lord, our turn was too sudden this time. We only brought six rounds of explosive ammunition and six rounds of shotshells! I'll let you guys fire two rounds to kill the brothers..."
Of course, before this, two rounds of powerful artillery fire cover are also necessary, otherwise it will be troublesome if those Conlin scoundrels see through the truth and immediately launch a follow-up pursuit! Fortunately, in order to make up for the lack of firepower of the Chiyang Guards, each armor will be equipped with a small flying cannon weighing only seven or eight kilograms as an area-destructive weapon! Therefore, following Chang Hao's order, two reserve artillerymen with rich combat experience immediately began to operate the small wrought iron cannons in their hands to provide fire cover for the evacuation of the large troops!
"Boom, boom..."
The body of the Hidden Cannon is made of wrought iron and is more than a foot long. If you add in the wooden gun handle, it is three feet and five inches long. The ammunition it is equipped with not only includes single-point bullets, shotgun shells, and smoke bombs, but also has technical content. Higher original blooming bomb! Chang Hao's rebellion happened suddenly. He didn't have time to go to the armory to get single-point bullets and smoke bombs. He only brought six rounds of explosive shells and six rounds of shotguns with him! Therefore, when the assistant gunner lights the delay fuse of the artillery shell,
, I am still praying in my heart that the shells must not be dumb, but must be fired! Facts have proved that Chiyang Military Industry under the leadership of Bao Dazhong is still very reliable. Driven by black powder, two iron-shelled shells flew out of the short and thick barrel at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, and then broke through the air with a dull sound. With a sound, one end fell on the place where the Chiyang Banner Army gathered! The next moment, two small explosions suddenly sounded, and two primitive bombs filled with black powder and iron filings exploded in the smoke in an instant!
"Dangdangdang..."
Seeing the flash of fire in the smoke, He Guocai, the flag army sentry commander with rich combat experience, knew that the opponent was using flying cannons to fight back! How could this guy, who was just thinking about how to achieve military exploits and clear up his charge of not knowing people, sit back and watch his own side being massacred and wounded by rebel artillery at the moment when he was about to win! So, with a low shout from this guy, three or four flag soldiers holding large iron shields immediately rushed to the front. They used the shields in their hands to protect other flag soldiers from the shock wave caused by the explosion and the debris flying everywhere. Iron filings, lead bullets!
