At this time, Wang Kun came to this battlefield in person, and suddenly he understood many things.
He understood everything from the eyes of these rebels.
For decades, they behaved like cows and horses, daring to get angry but not daring to speak out. Anger was like a volcano accumulated in the bottom of their hearts. It accumulated over the years and became frozen three feet in a day.
And the dog-eat-dog poisoning incident was just the last straw that overwhelmed their psychology. This incident completely tore apart everything, the cloak of loyalty and virtuousness. It made them realize that they could not deceive themselves no matter how hard they lied.
They remain silent when others are oppressed, and pretend not to notice when their loved ones are oppressed. When they themselves are oppressed, they suffer silently. When their lives are about to be taken away, they cannot deceive themselves no matter what, and let themselves accept whatever is happening, and kill them at the slightest opportunity.
.
They discovered to their horror that they couldn't do it.
Just like those rebellious people in Shaanxi, the county magistrate of Donglin angrily scolded them why they wanted to cause trouble for him instead of just staying at home and letting the whole family starve to death quietly.
Why can't you understand that you have to study hard in a poor family and ruin your future?
These rioters were dumbfounded and didn't know what to do.
The officials of the Ming Dynasty hated these unscrupulous people for causing trouble for them.
Therefore, these frontier troops rebelled, and those mud-legged people who had no food rebelled. Because they used to have a way out no matter how hard it was, but now, they are desperate.
Wang Kun sat stupidly on the floor, as if everything around him had faded away. He thought quietly, if His Majesty didn't just save money and didn't care about the lives of these people, would they do the opposite?
Your Majesty has never considered their future or how their wives, children, and children can survive. Your Majesty only thinks about cutting military expenditures.
His Majesty has abandoned them, and they have abandoned His Majesty.
At this time, it was useless to say anything to them. Everyone had already broken up.
These soldiers and horses in Ji Town won't play with you anymore.
For the first time, he felt that it might not be a good path for Your Majesty to take this approach.
He was deeply worried about the future of Ming Dynasty.
Zhou Yuji didn't have time to pay attention to the mental journey of a eunuch. He was nervously watching the rebels surging towards the barbed wire fence.
"Fire!" Following Zhou Yuji's order, the bugle sounded.
Bang bang bang! A burst of intense gunfire rang out.
The rebels who rushed to the barbed wire fence found that they could not climb over the barbed wire fence, which was only 1.5 meters high.
This thing was floating in the air without any force. The people in front tried to climb up from the wire. But they quickly lost their balance on the swaying barbed wire, spun and fell, and those damn iron spikes
, pricked his hand, and the scratches were dripping with blood.
Some people even hung on it, unable to get up or down. The more they struggled, the tighter the barbed wire became.
At this time, a dense firecracker sounded.
Many of them are knowledgeable. They know exactly how many kinds of fire guns there are in the Ming Dynasty. As soon as they hear this sound, they know that this is a damn Lumi gun.
The Rumi gun has a long barrel, a large charge, and heavy lead bullets. It has a long range and is also accurate.
This kind of fire gun from the Ottoman Turkish Empire is so sophisticated that the Japanese iron cannon pales in comparison to it. Only the Spanish heavy matchlock gun called the turtle dove gun from Guangdong can rival it.
Although the rebels had tried their best to put their heavily armored infantry in front, many of them still carried large shields made of log poles and thick bamboo.
However, it has no effect in front of Rumi's gun.
The first row fired a salvo, as the smoke filled the air.
The wooden shields and bamboo shields were smashed into pieces and shattered in large areas.
The rebels immediately fell to death in front of Rumi's gun.
The lead bullets penetrated the armor and scales without any hindrance, and flowers of blood appeared on the chests of those who were shot. The huge impact caused these people to fly backwards.
The soldiers who rushed to the barbed wire fence and crowded together were shot one after another. They couldn't get through in front of them, and those behind rushed forward. They were all crowded in front of the barbed wire fence.
After the first row fired, they immediately retreated and started reloading.
They took out the gunpowder bag, poured gunpowder into the muzzle of the gun mouth to mouth, then took out the lead bullets from the bag at the waist, loaded it into the muzzle, pulled out the purge rod from under the barrel, and began to pound the gun.
The second platoon took their place at the front and opened fire on the barbed wire fence.
At this time, the rebel soldiers crowded in front of the barbed wire fence could only use the shields they carried to resist as much as possible. They were trying to crawl over while enduring the blows of the fire cannons.
However, most of them fell down and even got caught or entangled in the barbed wire.
A general flag shouted loudly to chop down these wooden stakes.
Immediately, some people used knives to slash at the wooden piles supporting the barbed wire fence. Others were slashing at the wire.
If it is a modern tool made of good steel, and a stone or brick is placed under the iron wire, it can cut these iron wires. However, the iron wires dangling in the air cannot be cut because they are not affected by the movement of the iron wires.
force.
Unless you use vise pliers, you can cut it easily, but the rebels don't have such a thing.
After the second row fired, there was another pile of dead bodies.
At this time, some parts were pressed by dead bodies, and the wire was tilted inwards at a large angle. After all, this thing was hanging loosely. If it was tightened, it would be easier to climb.
Immediately afterwards, the third round of shooting began. Once again, the rebels who tried to jump in by stepping on the corpses and hanging wounded were killed. Many people fell on the barbed wire fence and fell in.
Huang Hao looked at it with a telescope and said: "We should let the gunmen retreat into the city. There are too many dead bodies on the barbed wire fence, and they have been crushed in many places. The rebels will come up soon."
Zhou Yuji nodded. This suggestion was timely. Barbed wire is not a panacea. If too many people die on it, it will be bent inward and tip over.
The people behind can jump in by stepping on the springboard made of these people's corpses and walking along the slope.
In fact, if the soldier in front has the spirit of sacrifice, he can directly fall on the barbed wire to form a human springboard. The soldier in the back can step on his back and jump in directly, and the charge will not be hindered at all.
Bang, bang, bang! The gong sounded.
At the same time, the steel plate at the back opened.
"Retreat quickly, retreat back to the city." Huang Yugang Xiaoqi shouted loudly.
As a horizontal team, their small flags just had a round of fighting, and then they hurriedly turned around and ran back to the city formed by the car camp.
At this time, the rebels' eyes were red when they saw the gunmen in the trenches running away. These people had just caused heavy casualties to them with three volleys.
From a distance of more than ten meters, the muskets were almost always hitting the target. Along the barbed wire fence, mourning was everywhere.
They took out three-eyed muskets and bows and arrows angrily, and opened fire on the escaping musketeers. However, this was a siege, and there were not many soldiers at the front with three-eyed muskets and bows and arrows.
Bang bang bang! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A few unlucky ones were shot in the back and fell to the ground. The others quickly fled into the city walls of the car camp.
The soldiers in the car camp immediately closed the steel wall again and locked it.
