Zhao Haiping looked at the musket in Li Hongyun's hand, with a worried look on his face.
"Are you sure you can carry so many muskets? It's not that you don't trust your marksmanship. The key is that the accuracy of this thing does not depend on your marksmanship to a large extent."
Li Hongyun chuckled: "I only carry it because its accuracy does not entirely depend on the shooting skills!
"Don't worry, just leave the covering fire to me."
Zhao Haiping instinctively didn't trust the muskets of this era. After all, no one knew where the projectiles would hit at a long distance, and they were completely incomparable with the high-precision firearms of later generations.
It is indeed more powerful than a bow and arrow, but its range and accuracy cannot be trusted.
But no matter what, Zhao Haiping still has to trust his teammates.
"Then I'll do it!"
Before Zhao Haiping finished speaking, he had already jumped out.
They spent a lot of time climbing from the foot of the mountain to halfway up the mountain and arrived near the village tower. This process took a lot of time.
The battle at the main gate of Buning Port still didn't make much progress. Sheng's army almost rushed to the front of the village gate several times, but before they could completely open the gate, they were repelled by the bandit's muskets and arrows. .
It looked like it was obviously a little bit worse, but several charges failed to achieve anything.
Therefore, Zhao Haiping knew that he could not delay it any longer. The situation in Nanhe City was definitely not optimistic. They had to move dangerously and capture Buning Port as soon as possible!
"Someone!"
The bandits in the village tower were all staring at the Sheng army attacking from the front. Some were taking aim and some were carrying supplies. They never expected that someone would dare to climb up from the mountains on both sides, so it wasn't until Zhao Haiping came from After jumping up the mountain into one of the village buildings, a bandit saw him and shouted in shock.
"Uh-huh!"
Zhao Haiping raised his knife and cut down a bandit who was loading bullets into his musket to the ground!
One of the thieves reacted quickly and immediately slashed at him with his sword, but Zhao Haiping immediately raised his shield to block it, bumped his body forward, and stabbed the bandit's abdomen with the waist knife in his right hand.
kill!
Trapped in a tight siege, Zhao Haiping's exclusive talent as a soldier, "The Will to Trap", was instantly activated. At this time, he had no scruples at all. He held up his shield and waist knife and tried his best to kill the bandits upstairs in the village!
There are several village towers here, and the bandits on the two largest ones are still staring at Sheng Jun in front of them, but more and more bandits have noticed Zhao Haiping.
After Zhao Haiping chopped down several bandits armed with muskets or barbarian bows, the other bandits finally could no longer ignore him and surrounded him one after another.
Not far away, on the village tower, there was an archer with his bow and arrow ready to shoot Zhao Haiping to death!
The archers of these bandits were also quite good at archery. Zhao Haiping was currently fighting head-on with other bandits and had no time to take off the Zhenyuan Bow he was carrying to fight back.
Zhao Haiping made an instant decision, turned his body slightly to the side, and at the same time used the shield in his hand to block the arrows as much as possible.
However, the arrow did not fly.
With a "bang" sound, the bandit with his bow and arrow fell to the ground!
Zhao Haiping looked towards the direction where the gunfire came from with some surprise, and saw Li Hongyun blowing away the smoke from the gun and taking out the bullets to load again.
The loading process is very cumbersome. After filling the projectiles, you need to press the projectiles to the bottom with a purge bar. You also need to load the ignition powder and hang the lit match rope back to the appropriate position...
But Li Hongyun's series of movements were smooth and smooth, much faster than the average musketeer's reloading speed.
Especially when loading the ignition powder, he didn't need to consider the dosage at all. He just poured it in according to his muscle memory and it happened to be the optimal amount of gunpowder.
Of course, Li Hongyun did not forget to protect himself. He hid behind a rock in the mountain and did not reveal much.
After all, this is the ultimate trial with 100% pain perception. He is not a martial arts player, and he has no talent to reduce pain. Now he is a fragile long-range profession, so he still has to pay attention to protecting himself.
Zhao Haiping couldn't help but feel refreshed.
Is it really possible?
Sure enough, the European Emperor and the African Chieftain are not playing the same game at all.
In fact, Li Hongyun was far away from the bandit, and the shooting accuracy of the matchlock gun was very low. It is difficult to explain this shot with skill, but more like pure luck.
But for Li Hongyun, luck is also a kind of strength!
He quickly loaded the next projectile, and as soon as the gunshot rang out, another bandit who tried to attack Zhao Haiping fell to the ground.
Zhao Haiping couldn't help but feel refreshed, and he was more confident in slashing at the thieves on the top of the village!
The two people really disturbed the peace of this village, and even made other surrounding villages look at them with suspicion.
After all, the people on the stronghold are basically musketeers or archers. Even if some of them know swordsmanship and carry sabers, they will not have time to react in a hurry. Zhao Haiping is like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Go freely.
What frightened these bandits even more was that, for some unknown reason, the sharpshooter next to him was able to use a matchlock gun with a very low hit rate to act like a sniper rifle. Every time a gun was fired, a bandit fell to the ground.
The sound of the matchlock gun is loud and accompanied by thick smoke. It is a weapon with strong psychological deterrence. At this time, coupled with Li Hongyun's dog-carrying gun technique, it created huge psychological pressure on the thieves.
As Zhao Haiping charged, Li Hongyun also began to move upstairs to the village.
The earliest village building had been cleaned up by Zhao Haiping, and Li Hongyun directly relied on the wooden fence bunker on the village building to shoot at other villages.
Although the thieves were also fighting back, it was of no use.
Because the hit rate of the matchlock gun is very impressive, with the blessing of good fortune, Li Hongyun's probability of being shot has become very low, but the probability of his projectiles hitting others has become very high.
The bandits fired five or six times, but Li Hongyun was not hit at all, but Li Hongyun knocked down one of the bandits with a casual shot.
In the face of such a huge gap in hit rates, what's the use of the number of muskets?
If it were the extremely accurate gun of later generations, then Li Hongyun's talent of "lucky head" would not be able to be used at all. It is precisely this kind of matchlock gun with a low hit rate that gives him huge room for development.
"Kill the musketeer first!"
The bandits shouted angrily, and soon three vagabonds armed with barbarian knives wanted to board the stronghold from below and kill Li Hongyun first.
But Li Hongyun was obviously prepared.
He first raised his gun at close range and knocked down the front rower with a bang.
The remaining two Drifters knew that he had no time to reload, so they quickened their pace and rushed forward, trying to get close quickly.
However, Li Hongyun did not load it at all, but directly drew the short spear from behind and threw it violently!
The wanderer who rushed in front had no time to react. The short spear pierced his chest directly and shot him down from the tower.
The vagabond walking behind was a bit smarter. When he saw Li Hongyun's second short spear, he tried his best to dodge, but was still stabbed in the shoulder by the short spear.
The force of the short spear caused him to stumble suddenly, and when he finally managed to stand still, Li Hongyun's waist knife had already arrived.
The wanderer hurriedly held it in his arms, and then threw a projectile-like object towards Li Hongyun.
With a "pop" sound, the projectile exploded and scattered a large amount of smoke, completely obscuring Li Hongyun's vision.
Under normal circumstances, with such interference, even an attack that has already been launched would be difficult to maintain, not to mention that the bandit is still dodging.
This knife will at most injure the bandit, but it is unlikely to kill him.
However, as soon as the bandit moved a little bit, he saw a cold light penetrate the smoke and accurately hit his neck.
There was a "poof" sound, and the head was in a different place!
Although his vision was blocked by smoke, Li Hongyun could still feel that the knife hit exactly where he wanted to cut.
The assassin's exclusive talent "Wrath" was activated, completely ignoring any interference and obstacles, and struck a fatal blow!
Originally, this talent required careful preparation before it could be activated, but after the talent is upgraded, it will automatically take effect under some accidental circumstances, but the probability is relatively low.
"Sorry, I do have better luck."
Li Hongyun ignored the dead bandits, quickly wiped off the blood on his waist knife, and sheathed the knife.
Then, he continued to load the musket and aimed at the next target that threatened Zhao Haiping.
At this time, Zhao Haiping had also finished clearing the bandits in the next village building, and began to take off the Zhenyuan Bow and shoot at the bandits in the adjacent village building.
The thieves and bandits in the entire village were disturbed by Zhao Haiping and Li Hongyun!
