Chapter 74 Three-stage strike (please invest after reading it!)

"Go! Come on!" Outside the city gate, Han Yinian shouted loudly to the soldiers who were swarming out.

In order to chase and kill the rioters who fled ahead and to make meritorious contributions, nearly a thousand people dispatched from the entire Haifeng Thousand Households. The remaining more than 100 left behind were full of reluctance, and could only watch their colleagues chase and kill the rioters and make meritorious contributions.

One ran in front and the other chased in back. The Pioneer Battalion deliberately slowed down the escape speed, and the distance between the two armies had been shortened from 300 meters to within 250 meters.

During the pursuit, the Ming soldiers of the Haifeng Qianhu Station did not notice another "disruptive people" in front of the "disruptive people". When the two "disruptive people" were about to touch, the Pioneer Battalion quickly divided into two, circled to the left and right sides, highlighting the firearms.

"Cross!"

Shi Tao, the company commander of the firearms company, issued an order. The firearms company quickly stood in three horizontal lines, each with 40 people in a horizontal line. There was at least one gap between the two people, and the tiger-headed spear was aimed at the Ming soldiers rushing towards them.

However, the three artillery teams in the firearm company did not prepare for combat. The People's Army had few gunpowder reserves. The tiger-head cannon that fired solid bullets at a long distance was far less expensive than the tiger-head guns that killed the enemy.

The sudden change of "disruption" has occurred in Qianhu Han Yinian was a little confused. Isn't it a group of disruptionists? Why did a team of enemies with clothes suddenly appear, and seemed to be holding muskets in their hands?

Han Yinian naturally knew that the range of muskets was farther than that of bows and arrows, but the accuracy and shooting frequency were not comparable to that of bows and arrows. The appearance of a team of musket soldiers in the enemy did not scare Han Yinian. On the contrary, Han Yinian is very excited now. The enemy is not just a rioter. It is definitely a great achievement to encircle such an enemy with great strength.

"Crash! Crash quickly! Kill the enemy leader, get promoted to one level, and reward 100 taels of silver!" Han Yinian shouted loudly at his soldiers.

Inspired by the words of the Qianhu Lord’s promotion and wealth, the Ming army soldiers charged faster. In a blink of an eye, the distance between the Ming army soldiers in the front of the Musket Team was less than 200 meters away.

"First column, fire!"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Forty tiger-headed spears shot forty people-eating lead bullets at the Ming soldiers rushing towards them. With such a dense formation of Ming soldiers, more than thirty people were hit in an instant, most of whom were severely injured, not far from death, and the remaining half had no ability to move.

In this era, even if you don’t die on the spot, the chance of survival is very small.

This was not over yet. After the first row of warriors opened fire, the firearm quickly walked behind the third row of warriors and began to reload their tiger-headed gunpowder and lead bullets.

After the first row of warriors left the front of the second row of warriors, Shi Tao immediately continued to shout: "Second row, open fire!"

Another forty lead ejections were shot out, and in the blink of an eye, more than thirty people were hit. When three lead ejections were given to the Ming soldiers who rushed over in ten seconds, they had been knocked on the battlefield by about one hundred Ming soldiers, and they were not sure about their life and death.

There are more than 1,100 soldiers in Haifeng Thousand Houses, and nearly 1,000 soldiers who rushed out of the city to pursue the "disrupted people". Now, just ten seconds have passed, and more than one-tenth of their combat effectiveness has been lost.

Seeing the colleagues in front of him slumped on the ground and wailing miserably, the Ming soldiers were scared and their charges slowed down unknowingly.

Han Yinian, Qianhu, was shocked by so many subordinates being shot by the musket. He did not expect that the enemy's musket would have such great power, and he was also glad that he did not rush forward.

"Fortunately, the enemy has fewer muskets. If there are more muskets, I'm afraid I will be defeated in this battle. The enemy is strong and can only get more credit if I wipe out the enemy."

Looking at the musket soldiers loading ammunition, Han Yinian felt relieved. The musket was powerful, but the number was small and the time to load ammunition was long. As long as you hurry up and rush forward, the enemy would definitely lose.

"The rioters are loading ammunition for the muskets. Hurry up, kill one person and reward five taels of silver, and behead five officials and upgrade them to one level, and behead the leader of the rioters and behead three levels to reward thousand taels of silver." Han Yinian shouted to his subordinates.

With a more generous reward, the Ming soldiers who were already afraid of being very afraid suddenly increased their morale and rushed towards the People's Army.

However, the morale of the Ming army had just increased. The next moment, another wave of lead bullets flew over, hitting more than thirty Ming soldiers who rushed in the front.

"Why did the enemy fire again so quickly?" A Ming soldier who was hit in the chest by a lead bullet fell to the ground forever with doubt.

The Ming soldiers who were hit by the lead bullet were confused. Seeing that their colleagues were hit by the lead bullet were also confused. Han Yinian and other commanders of the Haifeng Thousand Household Institute were confused.

"Why did the rioters' muskets fire again so quickly?"

The main musket used by the Ming army was the bird gun, with a range of 100 to 150 meters. Because it is a smoothbore gun, the hit accuracy is not high. The most important thing is that the bird gun's firing rate is very slow and can only be fired once or twice in a minute.

This is the musket that the Ming army remembered. Even in the Ming army's charge team, nearly a hundred people held various muskets. They thought that the muskets of the People's Army were similar to their muskets. Even if the range was longer, the hitting accuracy was higher, the speed of loading ammunition would not be fast.

However, the tiger-headed gun used by the People's Army is a flintlock rifled gun with a front-mounted flintlock rifle. The killing distance is more than 750 meters, and accurate hits can be ensured within 350 meters. The soldiers skilled in the People's Arms firearms can fire four times in one minute.

You should know that the firearms use three-stage shooting, and can fire a row of lead bullets almost every five seconds, and the shooting frequency is far beyond that of a bird gun.

For every ten meters shortened the distance between the Ming army and the People's Army, about 30 people would lose their combat effectiveness. When the front soldiers in the Ming army were only eighty meters away from the People's Army, the Ming army had lost one-quarter of their combat effectiveness, and the archers behind the Ming army were still far from within the range.

Under the threat of death, the promotion and wealth of the Qianhu Lords had no way to recover the morale of the Ming army. They rushed to death quickly. The Ming soldiers who were rushing to the front no longer dared to continue rushing forward. Some Ming soldiers were running to both sides, and some Ming soldiers turned to run back. Suddenly, the Ming army was in a group, and it was useless for the commanders to shout.

The People's Arms Firearms Company continued to fire. On the two wings of the firearms Company, the soldiers who climbed the battalion stood in front, and behind them were soldiers of the cold weapon troops lined up.

The defeat was defeated after losing a quarter of the combat power. The defeat speed of the Ming army surprised Hu Zhuang very much. Hu Zhuang did not miss this opportunity and immediately issued an order to the Cold Weapons: "Charge!"

"Kill! Kill!"

The vanguard battalion soldiers holding shields or axes rushed forward first, and hundreds of cold-armed troops with spears followed closely behind. The front position of the firearm company was still kept for the firearm company, and rows of lead bullets were fired out, sweeping down rows of enemies after row.
