Because the Merchant Army's artillery did not target the Chuang Army's firecrackers, the Chuang Army's firecrackers temporarily gained a little safety time as they advanced. Amidst the roar of the artillery, Gradually approach the Merchant Army's position.
At this time, there were more than 1,800 firecrackers who broke into the army, each holding a variety of firecrackers, but they all started to advance step by step with filled firecrackers, but the merchants on guard in the trenches and behind the village walls The gunmen and gunmen had been prepared for a long time. When the gunmen and gunmen of the intruder army entered within a hundred steps of the Merchant Army's position, Lumi gunmen and flintlock rifles were the first to attack them.
After a series of volleys of gun fire, the gun soldiers of the intruder army immediately fell down in a row. The fire gun soldiers in the back row became nervous and ignored many of them. Some pulled the triggers, some lit up the medicine, and they all tried their best to attack the merchant army. Positional shooting. But unfortunately, most of the fire muskets used by the Chuang Army were three-eyed muskets. Although there were a small number of bird muskets, their quality was about the same as those used by the Merchant Army. Within a distance of about a hundred steps, it was basically useless. It can't have any effect. I can only shoot randomly with "bang bang bang bang bang", and then rush to reload the ammunition.
In fact, at about a hundred paces, the merchant army's bird cannons are not enough. The entire southern front only has more than a hundred Lumi cannons and some new flintlock guns that can carry out effective strikes, but the soldiers who use bird cannons can carry out effective strikes. Keep your composure and never fire your guns easily. Just let the Lumi gun and flintlock attack the intruders. Of course, you can't form a three-stage burst. You can only reload the ammunition after the attack, and then continue shooting. And the intruders Compared with the more than 1,800 fire cannons, the sound and movement seemed much smaller.
But the two sides fired at each other for a while, and Chuang Jun gradually discovered that something was wrong. Although the sound of the other side's gunfire was far less than that of his own, after each round of shooting, a row of people on his side would always fall down, and after he fired, the other side's gunfire would fall down. There seemed to be no movement on the position, and there did not seem to be many casualties. In fact, during the period of shooting between the two sides, the gunmen of the intruders were killed and injured more than 300 people. Only a few soldiers in the Merchant Army were killed by cannonballs, but none were killed by firecrackers.
After the Chuang army came back to their senses, they realized that their efforts were all in vain. They had no choice but to ignore the merchant army's attack and continue to move forward, hoping to enter the effective killing range of their own fire cannons.
But after they advanced a certain distance, the Merchant Army's muskets also started shooting, and they really entered the pace of three consecutive shots. So although the Merchant Army's musket shooting was still not dense enough, the frequency of shooting was But it increased greatly, almost without interruption. The intruders only cried and howled for a while, and people fell down one after another.
Although the Chuang Army also had a small number of muskets, they were all obtained from the Ming Army. The quality itself was uneven, and even if the quality was good, it was not well maintained and maintained, so the effect was naturally compromised. The muskets used by the Merchant Army are carefully selected and high-quality products, and they are regularly inspected and repaired by the musket workshop in Mulingguan. Some spare parts have also been updated. In addition, the Merchant Army uses custom-made muskets. Granular gunpowder is also more effective than the powdered gunpowder used by the Chuang army. Therefore, the effective killing distance of the merchant army's bird blunderbuss against the Chuang army is 80 steps, while the maximum range of the Chuang army's fire blunderbuss is only 50 steps.
This difference also caused a huge difference in the effectiveness of the exchange of fire between the two sides. In addition, more than ten bird cannons in the intruder army exploded, which not only exploded the soldiers who used the bird cannons, but also injured many surrounding people.
companions. As a result, other soldiers who used bird guns did not dare to use bird guns. They threw away the bird guns one after another and picked up the three-eyed gun used by the dead soldier. Only then did they dare to use it with confidence. The three-eyed gun has a closer range.
, so there is no threat to the merchant army.
It’s not that the fire blunderbuss of the Merchant Army are not vegetarian. They hit the intruders one after another. It also made many intruders feel very depressed. Why do they always use fire blunderbuss? The fire blunderbuss of the merchant army
He can hit so fast and so far, but his own is just out of reach.
But complaints are complaints. The Merchant Army's attack has not weakened. The closer it gets to the position, the stronger the blow it receives, because the Merchant Army's front is not long. The closer it gets, the smaller the spread area.
The more densely packed they were, the easier it was to be blocked. Later, it became very difficult to move forward. In the end, they were suppressed to a distance of only forty or fifty steps from the Merchant Army's position.
It was almost impossible to take another step forward. On their way forward, they left a large number of corpses.
At this point in the duel between the musketeers, most of the musketeers of the intruders had suffered casualties, and the endurance of the remaining soldiers had basically reached the limit. Because until now, the musketeers could only be beaten and could not fight back.
, such a result cannot be endured even by a tenacious army. What's more, the fire rifle soldiers of the Chuang Army are themselves composed of the former Ming Army. They have nothing to do with the word tenacity, which has supported them to persist until now.
Yes, it is actually the sharp sword in the hand of the supervising team behind him.
But at this moment, an unexpected thing happened, which finally triggered the defeat of the Chuang army.
While the musketeers on both sides were engaged in an unequal duel, the artillery was also not idle. You came back and forth, and the fight was still very fierce.
In order to achieve a better shooting effect, the artillery of the Chuang Army also fired for a while, stopped for a while, and then slowly advanced. When they advanced about two hundred steps away from the Merchant Army's position, almost most of the artillery finally reached their own positions.
Within the effective range, but at this time, there were only less than twenty artillery pieces left in the Chuang army. But at this point, even if there was only one artillery left, they still had to fight. Therefore, Dong Liang commanded the gunners to quickly
Fire artillery at the Merchant Army's position.
The two sides went through several more rounds of shooting, and because they were within their own effective range, the invading army finally made some gains this time. With every shelling, nearly half of the shells fell into the Merchant Army's position.
Although the merchant army had trenches as bunkers, it was impossible to completely withstand all the shelling. Therefore, more than a dozen soldiers were hit by artillery shells and died. Two earthen walls were also hit by the artillery fire of the invading army. This was regarded as
The artillery of the Chuang army was harvested.
But at this moment, the artillerymen of the Chuang Army arrived within forty or fifty steps away from the Merchant Army's position. Although both sides now placed their musketeers in front of the artillery positions, the Merchant Army's musketeers
Most of them were lying in the trenches and did not affect the firing of artillery. At this distance, when the artillery shells fired by the intruders began to fall, although many of the shells flew against the scalps of the soldiers,
However, it fell into the merchant army's formation, but it was inevitable that a small number of shells would hit our own people from behind.
At first, the gunmen who broke into the army did not notice it, but soon they discovered that they were caught in a double attack between the enemy and their own people. Naturally, no one could bear such a tragic result.
What's more, the fire gunmen who had been on the verge of collapse. So the last straw finally broke the camel's back. The fire gunmen who broke into the army finally couldn't hold on any longer. They didn't care about the supervising team behind them, so they turned around and fled.
Come down.
The speed of escape was naturally much faster than the speed of advancing. After a while, they escaped from the range of the merchants' muskets and approached their own soldiers' position. The gunners were also beaten by the defeated fire soldiers.
They were so frightened that they risked their lives?
,
At this time, the Merchant Army's No. 2 Fo Lang machine gun was replaced with a more lethal shotgun. After the artillery was fired, it almost swept away a large area, which also caused the casualties of the invading army to suddenly increase. As a result, the defeated army ran faster.
, and the emotions of collapse were also passed on to the artillery, so the artillerymen gave up their artillery one after another, turned around and fled. Even Dong Liang was caught in it and could not help but retreat.
After a while, there were only a dozen lonely artillery pieces and corpses on the ground on the gunner's position. There was not a single living person left.
Seeing this, the musketeers of the Merchant Army jumped out of the trenches one after another, came to the Chuang Army's position, picked up the muskets they had thrown down, and took a dozen or so still intact artillery pieces, as well as some gunpowder, with them.
They all moved back to their own positions. Regardless of whether they could use it or not, they couldn't let the Chuang army take it back.
At this time, the defeated troops of the intruding army retreated to the front of the supervising team, but the supervising team was still rude, raised their swords, and cut down several defeated troops who were running at the front, and shouted at the others before returning to continue.
Combat.
But this time the intimidation of the war team was ineffective, because the defeated army was beaten by the merchant army and lost their minds. Just now, the merchant army beat themselves, and their own people were also killing themselves, which left no one alive.
.Since the left and right are also dead, it is better to fight before death. The merchant army is out of reach, and there is no way to fight if they want to, but the war team is different. It is right in front of you, and you can't fight with them.
If we fight, who should we fight with?
So a few gunmen, filled with fear, raised their three-eyed guns, pointed them at the supervising team, and yelled crazily: "Brothers, fight them." Then they lit the fuse.
He shot the ammunition that was supposed to be fired at the merchant army at his own people.
Although the range of the three-eyed gun is not large, it is very lethal because it is a three-eyed volley. When fired at close range, it is naturally very powerful. After the gunshots were heard, several soldiers in the supervising team were beaten to the ground.
After pulling it, he screamed and fell to the ground face to face.
With the beginning, there is no fear of not continuing. The other firecrackers raised their firecrackers one after another and shot out the ammunition that was powerless just now. The soldiers who did not have firecrackers also took turns using their swords and guns to shoot at
The supervising team stormed away.
The soldiers of the supervising team were also shocked and angry. What happened to this group of people? They dared to fight with the supervising team and even killed people with swords. Did they want to rebel? So they all waved their swords and fought against each other. The two sides immediately started fighting.
