Chapter 204 Grape Bullet
A three-pound lead bullet flew straight over more than 500 steps and hit a fiercely slammed the body of a cavalry.
In an instant, the soldiers flew with flesh and blood, and their bodies were smashed into pieces by the shot put.
Blood and blood splattered everywhere, and some broken bones and flesh splattered on Li Youcheng's cheek.
As the cannon sounded, the war horses rushing in front neighed.
The cavalry tried their best to hold the reins and try to control the war horses.
Only two of the five lead bullets hit the cavalry and smashed two blood grooves in the mud.
"Let it go!" The five Folang machine cannons in the rear were fired immediately.
The Folang machine is an iron post-loading cannon.
The entire cannon consists of three parts: the barrel, the belly, and the cannon.
When firing, first fill the gunpowder projectiles into the sub-cannon, then put the sub-cannon into the abdomen, and ignite the sub-cannon fire door to fire.
The abdomen of the Flang machine is quite thick, and generally there is a steering rudder rod and a sight line on the tail of the gun.
However, limited to the technical level of the 16th century, the disadvantage of the Florian cannon is that the gap between the sub-cannon and the abdomen is large, causing gunpowder gas leakage, so it does not have the long-range range of the Red Cannon.
At this time, the Folang machine cannon shells bombarded the cavalry on the hills weighed about three pounds.
It was mainly improved from the spinning cannons on the Spanish battleships.
It has light weight, easy to carry with the army, and also has an extremely high rate of fire, and has high accuracy within hundreds of steps.
The Ming army's artillery gunners kept changing their guns. This time, the Ming army traveled, brought a total of 100 guns, all of which were placed on the army's carriage and were towed by mules.
The slinger is fast, but the slinger is basically a local ponies in Southeast Asia. I have never seen such a fierce artillery offensive.
The war horses rushing in front were frightened and began to be uncontrollable by the cavalry, and rushed around in panic.
The charge of more than a hundred cavalry was disrupted at once.
"Don't be chaotic, rush." Li Youcheng's face was pale, and the war horses were neighing.
He didn't know that Mingren's artillery could fire continuously.
In just a few rounds, more than ten cavalrymen were shot and killed.
"Run." Li Youcheng gritted his teeth, held his spear and rushed towards the Ming army.
He knew very well that only by rushing over at this time could he survive. The distance of hundreds of steps was nothing for the cavalry.
Previously, they were completely caught off guard by Mingren's artillery.
Now, as long as you gather together and continue to rush forward, the Ming people cannon can only be fired at most two rounds.
Fortunately, Mingren's artillery was not a flowering bullet, but a solid bullet.
If the Ming people were using the flowering bullets used by the Ming army at the Nainong City at this moment.
I'm afraid that these more than a hundred cavalry have been wiped out.
The cavalry under Li Youcheng were also elites in the Guangnan army.
Even in the face of the continuous bombardment of the Ming people's artillery fire, after a brief panic, the army quickly gathered to fight towards the Ming army.
On the contrary, the cavalry team under Mosin was timid.
Following behind Li Youcheng's cavalry.
It was not because of these Zhen La cavalry that were weak and frightened by the Ming people's artillery.
But because these Zhenla cavalry followed Mosing's instructions when they were afraid of Ming people's artillery.
Mosin handed over the cavalry to Li Youcheng because of the situation and had no choice but to do it.
What I think of is naturally how to keep my own horse team.
Therefore, before Li Youcheng took his cavalry away, he had already spoken to his generals.
Therefore, when the Zhenla cavalry saw that the Ming people's artillery was very fierce, they hid behind them with tactful qualities.
This dodge doesn't matter, it directly attracts Mingren's artillery to Li Youcheng's cavalry.
Originally, Mossing's cavalry was also sharing the artillery fire of the Ming people, but now he hid behind the Li Youcheng cavalry. As a result, all the artillery of the Ming people hit the heads of the Guangnan cavalry.
Li Youcheng was just cursing that next year's artillery will not only be fierce, but also have high accuracy. He has already killed more than a dozen riders.
But Mossin's bastards hid behind his cavalry again.
Now all the Ming people's artillery are shooting towards their own side.
However, fortunately, I was only one or two hundred steps away from the location of the Ming army hills.
"The musketsman lined up." Li Liu, who was watching the battle, shouted quickly.
Thirty musketeers lined up in two rows to block the cavalry and horses.
Seeing the Ming army's musketeers lined up in the distance, Li Youcheng couldn't help but feel funny.
Just a few dozen musketeers dared to stop their cavalry.
Just over a hundred steps away from the last round of artillery for the cavalry, the cavalry can rush over.
At that time, both the musketeers and gunners of the Ming army would be slaughtered by their own cavalry.
At this time, Li Liu was also standing there tremblingly, staring at the horse team getting closer and closer.
What made him extremely upset was why he brought so many cannons but did not carry some horses. In order to give up the position of the Folang Jizi cannon gun, he did not even bring heavy muskets like Baizi gun. Now he could only rely on the self-generated muskets from his thirty subordinates to resist the cavalry of the foreigners.
Li Liu gritted his teeth and raised a self-generated musket. The lead bullet of the musket effectively killed up to twenty steps. This distance can rush over with only a few breaths.
The musketeer may not even have time to attack three times, so Li Liu directly canceled the third team, one in front and one behind, and the front team half-kneeled to directly fire the guns. As for how much damage it can cause to the cavalry of the foreigners, it can only be left to fate.
At this time, there were seventy or eighty horses left in the cavalry.
However, it is obvious that the horse team is clearly divided into two teams in terms of speed.
Li Youcheng's Guangnan cavalry was faster and rushed in front, while Mossin's more than 30 cavalry followed closely, with a certain interval between them.
But Li Liu, who was in the center of the cavalry collision, naturally couldn't see it.
But Lin Xu, who was on the hill, saw clearly and smiled coldly.
Previously, Yang Yandi's general Huang Jin asked Lin Xu a question.
There were many muskets in the Ming army, but there were no cavalry and spearmen. What would you do if you encountered cavalry?
Lin Xu smiled but said nothing at that time, but now Lin Xu can tell him the answer.
Soon the Ming army poured the last round of artillery onto the head of the cavalry, and at this time the cavalry was less than a hundred steps away from the Ming army's musket soldiers.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Just when the foreign soldiers heard the sound of the Folang machine cannon and wanted to take over the last round of artillery.
Hundreds of lead bullets hit their faces, chests and horse legs.
"Bang!Bang!Bang"
With the neighing of war horses and the screams of riders.
For a moment, dust flew, and more than 20 cavalrymen who rushed in the front were beaten to the point of being overturned.
Countless lead bullets passed through their chests, cheeks, and war horses, bringing out blood flowers.
More than 20 cavalrymen fell to the ground screaming and half of their faces were cut off by lead bounces, and they lay on the ground and rolled in pain.
The cavalry behind could not stop the horses and rushed directly between the more than 20 soldiers and war horses.
Many cavalry and fallen war horses were directly stepped into meat paste.
And the last five Flang machine cannons also opened fire.
This time, the Guangnan cavalry finally saw clearly what these Ming people's artillery fired?
With the light of fire, hundreds of projectiles flew towards their heads.
The projectiles as crystal clear as grapes, but the size of pebbles.
Compared to before, the lead bullet that is more than 3 pounds at any time seems smaller and lighter.
What the Guangnan cavalry did not expect was the lead bullets that were as big as pebbles and as transparent as grapes, but were more fierce than arrows and gun bullets.
Hundreds of lead bullets hit them, smashing their vine armor and tearing open their chests. In an instant, blood surged like a spring, and the cavalry fell down in pieces.
The grape bomb was a type of ammunition equipped with a lot of naval naval equipment in the 16th and 17th century.
Simply put, it is a thin iron can containing a large number of lead projectiles.
The potential energy released by the gunpowder after firing causes the lead projectiles inside the explosion of the container to fly out, forming scattering, which can cover a curved surface target and form large-scale killing, similar to flowering bullets.
Because it is put together one by one, like a pile of grapes, it is named Grape Bullet.
However, it is more of a equipment used in the navy.
It mainly tear the sails on the enemy's battlefield in naval battles, hit the sails with large areas of shotguns, causing the ship to lose its power, and even attack pirates at close range.
As long as one shot continues, a ship of pirates will often be either dead or injured.
