Unfortunately, the Jin army's wonderful river-crossing tactics still caused some trouble for the Di and Qin cavalry. Their arrows turned from the water to the water, and after a moment, they turned back again.
Whether to shoot the upper part first or the lower part first is really a question.
While they were hesitating for a brief moment, the Jin army took action!
The reason why the Jin army that first stepped onto the pontoon did not attack Di Qin was because they were infantry and had no advantage against Di Qin's cavalry.
Moreover, these Di Qin cavalry were not stupid. They did not go into the water at all, and the ordinary Jin army could not do anything to them.
However, the Jin army's swift and violent actions also confused the Qin soldiers for a moment. It was this short time difference that gave the pistol squad an opportunity.
Bang bang bang!
Boom boom boom!
"what happened?"
"What's going on?" The one who still had the energy to sigh like this was the team leader Dou Ying who ran back halfway but felt that he couldn't handle the task.
How could you just run away like this?
Not a single arrow was fired, not a single person was killed?
Just run away like this, and when you meet Yang Ding, you will be dead as well!
Rather than being killed by the general, it is better to fight bravely on the battlefield, and even if you die, you will die well!
What a hero!
However, just when Dou Ying mustered up her courage and planned to avenge her previous shame, a rumbling sound suddenly exploded in the clear sky.
The sound was like the earth falling apart!
That smoke, charming eyes!
Through the layers of smoke, Dou Ying finally saw clearly what kind of weapons those Jin soldiers, who were called monsters, were holding in their hands!
It is a long tube type with a handle on the back, which seems to be used to light a fire, but how the fire is lit is still an unsolved mystery.
What surprised Dou Ying and others even more was that these monsters did not come ashore at all. Those who washed ashore from the pontoon were either cavalry or infantry.
And these Jin troops armed with strange weapons were actually hiding behind the immovable ship.
While hiding, they shot at the Qin soldiers who were riding horses and running on the ground!
With every loud noise, those tiny projectiles shot out of the smoke at extremely fast speeds, heading straight for the Qin soldiers!
"Team leader, quickly...run!"
"This thing can kill people!"
Beside Dou Ying, several followers fell to the ground one after another. They vomited blood and fell from their horses.
In a daze, Dou Ying only heard these few words.
The reason why he was able to remain safe and sound was not because of his superior martial arts skills, but because he was far away from the ship and his position was a little off.
Currently, those miraculous monsters have not discovered him yet!
"Brothers, when loading gunpowder, you can hide behind the building and try not to let the Qin army see how we use the pistol!"
On the motionless ship, Wang Mi, the servant of Huangmen, was also firing wildly with his gun. Sometimes he lit the fire and sometimes he shot. The whole set of movements was coordinated almost smoothly, which was particularly natural and unrestrained.
If it weren't for the purpose of concealing the action and preventing Di Qin from discovering the secret of the pistol, someone would have really wanted to jump on the side of the ship and point the pistol at those evil beasts of Di Qin.
One shot at a time, let them see how powerful his little king is!
That formation makes me angry just thinking about it, it’s so cool!
What a pity, what a pity!
Such a rare opportunity can only be given up!
As the saying goes, teaching by example is inferior to words. When it comes to the use of pistols and the use of bunkers, the team members are unable to properly understand it.
But when Wang Mi stood behind the cabin, sometimes he would shoot his head, and sometimes he would hide in the cabin to replenish gunpowder.
After watching this demonstration several times, almost every team member can operate it skillfully, and the effect is extraordinary.
"Zhiyuan, you are so wise to choose the building as a shield!" Under Liu Chun's active efforts, Wang Mi finally moved a gun to him.
There is no way, someone's skill is exactly the same as Huan Chong, the commander-in-chief of Jingzhou, which is irresistible.
Ever since he picked up the gun, Liu Chun became more confident!
Look at him holding a gun in one hand and loading gunpowder in the other, working very hard. Not to mention, although Old Liu has not been using a pistol for a long time, he has only seen how to use a pistol in Xinye City before.
However, his marksmanship is still very accurate.
Not to mention that he is always hitting the target, he has basically reached the same level as Wang Mi.
"With this building boat, the pistol team can intercept the enemy without going ashore. In this way, both sides of the white water and the river will be our territory!"
"Although the city occupied by the Di people cannot be obtained for the time being, if they want to take it out, they will only die!" After Liu Chun praised him for a few words, someone began to feel happy.
If they continued to follow his words, it was no wonder that before their eyes, the Di Qin army was defeated one after another.
The offensive methods they thought of were either useless or unable to shake the Jin army's offensive.
It can be seen that the Jin army's response measures were quite effective, and Wang Mi's contribution was indispensable for these measures from planning to implementation.
You don't have to blow hard or blow hard. This means that on the battlefield, the environment is not suitable, otherwise someone will have to blow to the sky.
"General Liu!"
"careful!"
"Pay attention to concealment!"
When it comes to bragging, among the people present, no matter how capable he is, Xiao Wang can only rank second. In front of him, there is always Liu Chun, the big Buddha, blocking him, so he is the first to brag openly.
On Liu Chun's side, inspired by a good offensive, he had gradually forgotten to find cover while shooting.
He held the medicine spoon and the gunpowder bag in one hand, covered with waterproof oil paper, and tied around his waist.
After several operations, his movements have become more and more proficient. According to Wang Mi's statistics, the interval between shots can almost reach one shot every five seconds.
What a speed!
One shot after another, with enough lead bullets and gunpowder in place, Liu Chun shouted excitedly while shooting.
The people around him probably couldn't hear what exactly Lao Liu was shouting. All in all, Lao Liu was extremely excited now.
However, as the old saying has told us a long time ago, extreme happiness will lead to sadness. This is an inevitable theorem.
Old Liu ran to the deck and had a wider view. It happened that the cavalry team led by Dou Ying turned back halfway and was caught by the old man.
Good guy!
Such a big target is so obvious, can Liu Chun let it go?
Immediately he loaded a round of ammunition and took aim.
However, taking too many advantages, it is easy to relax for a while. In front of Liu Chun's eyes, it seems that only the target is left in a daze, and the target seems to have turned into a wooden stake. Liu Chun is completely unaware of these targets.
They are also living people, and they all hold weapons in their hands.
And these weapons can also kill people!
Wang Mi dodged out of the cabin and was about to find another target to join forces with. Before he could take action, he saw a sharp arrow with a buzzing sound, heading towards Liu Chun.
But General Liu himself seemed to be stupid. He could only smile arrogantly and had no idea who the gun was pointing at.
No matter who his target is, it's still too late!
Wang Mi jumped onto the deck and pulled him down without saying a word.
Fortunately, someone acted quickly, and General Liu was saved from being shot through the heart by a sharp arrow.
As soon as Liu Chun rolled into the cabin, the arrow grazed the window lattice of the building and flew over!
God!
If Liu Chun's reaction had been slower, or to be precise, if Wang Mi's reaction had been slower, even if it was only three seconds, Lao Liu would have been completely doomed!
Valley
"How dare these evil beasts come back!"
"Let me take care of them!" As he spoke, Liu Chun finished loading the gunpowder again and wanted to take revenge, but was stopped by Wang Mi again.
"General Liu, there is no need to worry."
"The mission of our pistol team is to block attacks on the river without going ashore, so why not wait for work?"
"Aren't you going to go ashore?"
"Why don't we go ashore?"
"It would be nice to rush up and kill more enemies!" General Liu's words were also the sentiments of many members of the pistol team.
The enthusiasm that had just been suppressed was rekindled!
How many enemies can be seen along this whitewater coast?
How many enemies can be killed?
In the end, it was better to rush to the shore and rush to the Nanyang City Tower to fight with the enemy and kill more Di Qin evil beasts.
Don't underestimate people. Although the members of the pistol team are basically recruited from general workshops, the formation time is very short.
However, since you dare to join the pistol team, you must not be a coward. These young people are all heroes.
They are good at riding horses and using bows and crossbows. Even without pistols, they can still become brave warriors on the battlefield.
Since he is a capable person, he does not want to be delayed and always wants to find more things to do. At the beginning, everyone had no objection to the strategy Wang Mi formulated for everyone.
However, as the battle progressed more and more smoothly, the young people could not help but have their thoughts wandering and wanted to try their skills on the real battlefield.
After several pleas, Wang Mi turned a deaf ear and refused to agree.
"Brothers, it's not that I didn't let you go up on purpose. In fact, our current situation is not as good as we imagined."
"How do you say this?" Liu Chun asked immediately without thinking.
"Everyone will know after you open the gunpowder bag and take a look." Wang Mi patted his gunpowder bag with a look of regret on his face.
Speaking of gunpowder, it's very embarrassing.
It's a real pleasure to shoot, and my pockets are empty.
Some people, especially Wang Shilang who was never economical in fighting, once the people on both sides came into contact, Wang Mi started shooting non-stop.
Wang Shilang shot accurately with his spear and used gunpowder boldly.
After a round of fighting, by the time they retreated to the cabin, the gunpowder bag on Wang Mi's waist had reached its bottom.
A pistol without gunpowder is like a bow without arrows.
"We don't have that much gunpowder anymore!"
"It will be in vain to rush forward, and it may become a drag on other brothers."
"Our pistol team only has about a hundred people in total. Even if we rush forward, without pistols or gunpowder, we won't be able to have much effect."
"It's better to just meet Di Qin's defenders in the boat. We'll fight as many as they come out, and we'll see what happens."
Wang Mi was not the only one who was short of money. Although the other team members used it more sparingly, most of them used at least half of it.
Is what Mr. Wang Shilang said wrong?
Of course that’s right!
There is only such a small amount of gunpowder left, so of course we must use it sparingly.
Once there is no gunpowder, these murderous weapons will become iron shells.
The atmosphere at the scene instantly became tense, and many of the team members who had been so high-spirited just now had their heads hanging down.
What else can be done?
Of course we can only stay on the ship.
The pistol players were huddled together, and the gunpowder could be given to each other, so everyone made do with it.
Seeing all the brothers who were fighting with their heads down, Wang Mi was also very anxious. There is no need to be like this!
No need to!
Wang Mi just thought of a few words of encouragement and planned to say them to cheer people up, but he heard a sudden voice from the crowd.
"Wang Shilang, we actually still have a lot of gunpowder. We can use it as long as we take it apart."
"It's better to dismantle it now!"
This Li Kuan is very clever, right?
Li Kuan looked towards a corner, and there was indeed a lot of gunpowder in the corner of the cabin.
The members of the pistol team personally unloaded them from the horses and moved them to the cabin. The team members knew the real situation best!
"Wait!"
"Can't take it apart!"
"That gunpowder has another use!"
Wang Mi rushed over and hurriedly covered up the gunpowder that had been packaged long ago. Darling, these are his treasures. If there is even the slightest mistake, today's siege plan will be completely ruined.
Soak in the soup!
authentic.
"Sir, if you keep all this gunpowder lying around, what's the use of it?"
Li Kuan scratched his head anxiously. Beside him, Liu Chun was also confused. However, after all, he was older and had a little patience.
The key lies in the use of these gunpowders.
Originally, they thought these were specially prepared by Wang Mi to supply pistols, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.
These gunpowders have been specially packaged, but they actually have other uses. But what are their uses?
However, Wang Shilang refused to explain clearly. Under the aggressive looks of everyone, he just said vaguely: "These can only be used when we go to the city. They are not used for shooting. They must not be moved around."
Li Kuan was overjoyed: "Wang Shilang, are you saying that our brothers can still go ashore to attack the city?"
Being good at grasping key points has always been one of the most important strengths of this clever young apprentice. Soon he heard the hidden meaning of Wang Mi's words.
"certainly!"
"I stopped everyone just now because it's not the time yet. When the time comes, without waiting for everyone to make a move, I will lead everyone to the river bank, rush to Nanyang City, and kill him without leaving a single piece of armor behind!"
Can get ashore!
Can kill the enemy!
As long as there is this big cake hanging in the front, who cares how much gunpowder is left and how to use it?
It doesn't matter anymore!
They will do whatever Wang Shilang says!
While talking, in front of the building boat, another wave of Qin soldiers on horseback rushed towards Baishui with weapons in hand.
Without further ado, Wang Mi picked up the gun again!
No matter where you are, as long as you can kill enemies, it's good!
Putting aside the fighting on the shore of Baishui for the time being, under Nanyang City, the Jingzhou soldiers led by Liu Yu and Huan Yi also rushed to the designated location.
After weighing the two sides, Wang Mi allocated fifty gunmen to Huan Yi and the others. Although this group of gunmen was small in number, Wang Mi did not expect them to kill many enemies.
The difference in the number of people on both sides is really too big, and it's impossible to kill them all with pistols alone.
This group of gunmen followed the archers and rushed to the city gates, mainly to act as a deterrent.
General Yang Ding, who was on the city tower, was immediately happy when he saw the Jin army's cavalry rushing up!
