Chapter 156: Musket shooting

In addition to the three hundred clans, among the three thousand war soldiers brought by Huang Laifu, at least 1,500 were musketeers.

Soon, the Wuzhaibao musketeers with heavy gunpowder tanks and lead-bombed gunpowder bags were quickly pulled outside the Qixing Gate by Huang Laifu, divided into three rows, and bombarded a certain section of the city wall outside the gate.

Of course, when they bombarded, they were under the cover of Fujian rattan players. Huang Laifu estimated that the range of the Japanese musketeers in the city was about the same as that of his musketeers, and they were about seventy steps. Without protection, such a dense formation would only be used as a living target by the Japanese iron gunners hiding behind the city wall. The battle method of face-to-face shooting, whether it is Huang Laifu or his army, is not mentally prepared.

"shooting!"

Huang Laifu gave the order.

Suddenly, "Boom boom boom boom...Boom boom..." sounded like a lot.

The current Wuzhaibao army is equipped with five hundred large-lift guns - that is, heavy smoothbore guns. The power of the large-lift guns is huge and the range is long. When the first row of five hundred large-lift guns with triangle brackets spewed out a series of scorching fire, the Japanese army on the top of the city screamed. As long as the person was hit, there would be huge blood holes on their bodies.

After firing the five hundred guns, there was a pungent white smoke in front of the Wuzhai Fort army.

Soon, the second row of five hundred bird gunmen from Wuzhai Fort stepped forward again and pointed at the top of the city.

The second column is over, and the third column is again.

After the third row was finished, the first row of musketeers had already loaded the medicine and went forward to shoot.

This continued and the deafening sound of muskets continued. After several years of extremely rigorous training, the current Wuzhai Fort muskets are extremely quick and skillful in loading medicines.

Under the fierce attack of the musketeers of the Wuzhaibao army, the Japanese army on the city could not help but be in chaos, and the firepower of the iron gunners fired downward was greatly reduced.

The Wuzhai Fort's muskets were so powerful that Yang Yuan and Zhang Shijue and other officers and soldiers in Liaodong and Ji Town were amazed at it, but they didn't have to think too much about it. They took advantage of this moment and organized the army, erected a ladder upwards again, and the ant attached to attack the city.

The archers guarding the city, the Japanese army's archers and cannons were light and shot down quickly under the roar of their respective officers. However, if they only focus on shooting the Ming army in the city, they will be severely attacked by the Ming army archers and the Wuzhai Fort musketeers. If they fight back against the musketeers under the city, the Ming army will take the opportunity to climb up again.

Seeing the dense Ming army crawling towards the city, the archers and iron cannoners were not enough to use. Governor Xiaoxi couldn't help but yelled in a hurry, and was shocked by the power of the Ming army's musketeers. It would be better to say that his own cannons were not as good as humans, but now iron cannons are not as good as humans, it would be unreasonable.

Fortunately, he has been in the army for a long time and is very resilient and knows that fish and bear's paw cannot have both. The biggest threat right now is the musket team under the city. He waved his samurai sword straight, pointed outside the city and shouted: "The spearmen and warriors face the Tang people and the iron cannon team in the city, and concentrate on shooting the iron cannons of the Tang people under the city."

For a moment, the Japanese iron cannons with more than a thousand people in the city were fired continuously with the musketeers of the Wuzhai Fort army, which were thousands of people under the city.

The sound of guns continued, and smoke filled the city above and below the city. This was the first time the Wuzhai Fort army had come into force, and the muskets had encountered a comparable opponent. Everyone couldn't help but exhale and spirit.

In terms of the power of the musket, except for the large gun lifted by the Wuzhaibao army, the Yuzhai bird guns are almost the same as the Japanese iron cannons.

In terms of protection and loading, the Wuzhaibao bird gunmen were wearing iron armor, and it was difficult to break the armor with a single bird gun. The Japanese iron cannon foot was wearing light bodies, with only some iron leaves on their chests, and the rest were leather, which was slightly less protective. However, they were protected by thick city walls, while the Wuzhaibao bird gunmen were only shielded by rattan cards with slightly less protectiveness. In this regard, both sides were similar.

In terms of weight carrying, in addition to wearing iron armor, the bird gunners of Wuzhaibao weigh about ten kilograms. In addition, they also have a long sword on their bodies, as well as a stick, a gun sconce, a lead bag and other items, which can be said to be a considerable load.

The Japanese iron cannons were light bodies and carried slightly light weight, but their iron cannon weighed about 12 kilograms, and the body (a kind of metal tube) and bullet belts were loaded with gunpowder and projectiles for shooting. Both were bulging, so I was afraid it was not light. In addition, the Japanese were short and had to carry so many things, so the load was not light.

In short, this is a comparable opponent. Whether it is the Japanese iron gunners or the Wuzhai Fort musketeers, they are getting more and more excited as they fight. It is rare for an opponent.

"Grandma's Japanese slaves knocked down my helmet and took a shot later."

Wang Guixiu, the bird gunman who was originally on the same banner as the wolf clerk Zhang Dasan, was promoted to the position of the flag chief after several years of war. Wang Guixiu also won the position of the flag chief not long ago, leading 37 officers and soldiers.

Perhaps the blue flag on his back that showed the identity of the flag general was quite conspicuous. From time to time, several Japanese muskets greeted him in this direction. The Japanese muskets that had been in the previous round even knocked the eight-petal hat-tiped iron helmet on his head to the ground, making Wang Guixiu very angry. However, he had finished this round, so he had to go back and load the bullets, thinking that he would definitely find the place in the next round.

In front of Wang Guixiu, some of the Wuzhai Fort bird gunmen were injured under the attack of the Japanese army at the head of the city, but due to the good protection of iron armor, few people were killed.

The muskets of this era are no more than those of later generations. After being hit, they are covered in blood and blood, which is very touching. However, Wang Guixiu was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he felt that his whole body was full of passion and blood. This kind of life that was hovering on the front line of life and death was what he longed for.

He was skillfully and quickly filling the medicine, but his eyes were always staring at the movements of the Japanese army on the city. Over the past few years, he had been "blindly" like a computer expert in later generations, and was so skillful that he could "blindly install".

In the gunpowder jar on the right hand, there are several equal parts of bird gunpowder, and they are placed in each small bamboo tube. Each bamboo tube is filled with three cents of gunpowder. In the lead bag next to the left hand, there are hundreds of leads weighing about three cents of each.

Wang Guixiu didn't need to look at it at all. He seemed to have a third eye on his body. He first took out a small tube of gunpowder from the gunpowder jar, poured the medicine into the gunpowder, and gently sent it with a stick, and the gunpowder was in place. He took out a lead from the left bag, and wrapped it with a small piece of cotton cloth to prevent the projectile from sliding out of the muzzle. He also gently sent it with a stick, and the lead was in place again.

After doing everything above, Wang Guixiu opened the fire door of the bird gun, took out a small tube of gunpowder from the gunpowder tank, poured it into the fire door of the bird gun, and shook it gently, and the gunpowder had already entered the fire door. Wang Guixiu closed the fire door, and the previous fuse had burned out. Wang Guixiu took out a fuse from the fuse bag on his body, and blew it slightly, and the fuse was already burning. Wang Guixiu put the burning fuse into the faucet.

In this way, a series of loading sperm works for bird guns have been completed.

The reason why bird guns are more and more popular with the Ming army is that they do not need to consider temporarily lighting the fuse. Firearms such as three-eyed guns also need to use the other hand to light the fuse during battle, which hinders aiming. The reason why many Ming army in the border towns use three-eyed guns without considering the problem of far-earth is that the quality of some bird guns makes them unable to use them with confidence. This is of course not present in the Wuzhai Fort army.

Speaking of which, the bird gun is actually a kind of clamping gun, but it is no different from the flintlock gun in structure, and both have a strike. However, the flintlock gun uses the sparks fired by flint to ignite the medicine. The flintlock gun pulls the strike and directly uses the flint to ignite the medicine with the flint clamped on the hammer (the bird gun's faucet).

After everything was ready, the comrades around were basically loaded with medicine. After several years of hard training, everyone was extremely familiar with it. At this time, after two rounds of shooting, after a sharp sound of horn, Wang Guixiu and his men stood in the front row again.

"aim!"

The one on the far right always shouted loudly.

Wang Guixiu raised the bird gun, held the bird gun's waist and abdomen with his front hand, aimed at the Japanese army in front of the city with his illumination, and opened the fire door with his back hand. Like him, a black musket aimed at the city.

"shooting!"

Another sharp horn sound came. At the same time, Wang Guixiu buckled the plate machine with her index finger, and the faucet hit the fire door. The ignited fuse ignited the medicine in the fire door. With a wail, the pungent smell of gunpowder rushed over, making Wang Guixiu unable to blink and felt a little uncomfortable in her eyes.

To be honest, although the current Wuzhai Fort muskets no longer have the danger of blowing up the chamber and no longer puts the soldiers in danger of turning into a one-eyed dragon, the damage to the eyes when this gunpowder is burned is inevitable.

"Smack sex..."

After the medicine ignited, hundreds of bird guns fired one after another, and a pungent white smoke filled the position again.

Wang Guixiu whistled softly. When he turned back to the formation, he could see a scream from the top of the city through the light in his eyes. His gun just now seemed to hit the head of a Japanese army's iron cannon.

"Baga! How could these Tang people's iron cannons shoot so accurately!"

At the top of the city, Shimomoto Samurai Sakasaki shouted angrily. In the round of shooting just now, an iron cannon team next to him was hit in the chest and fell down screaming. Although the Japanese iron cannons were all covered with light bodies, especially the chest, they were protected by iron armor. However, being hit by a bird gun was not fatal, but it was inevitable that the bloody and bloody area on his chest was blurred.

In the round of shooting just now, the iron cannons beside him suffered a lot of losses, and he was almost hit.

There is no way, the firearms of the Wuzhai Fort army under the city are too fierce.

At present, the battle in the west of the city has entered a fierce trend. More and more Ming troops are attacking the city. The Japanese iron gunners on the city have no choice but to rely on the city wall to protect them. They keep shooting against the Wuzhai Fort army under the city, hoping to repel their cover and then concentrate their firepower to deal with the Ming army that is constantly climbing up the wall.

Because of the height of the Japanese army, they could not see the situation under the city without standing at the bush, but once they stood at the bush, they became targets. In this way, in terms of protection, they were one year away from the Wuzhaibao army, and the casualties were even higher. After all, there were several layers of rattan players in front of the Wuzhaibao army. Moreover, if the fire guns were not formed in a dense formation, they would not be able to form power. The Japanese iron gunners, a few people in every other bush, were much less in terms of density, so the firepower was much smaller.

However, now both sides are angry, shooting at each other and shooting at each other, and they are both casualties, and they are fighting to the death. They only suffer from the Fujian rattan soldiers who are covering the city, and they all hide behind the rattan, and they dare not come out. They pray for God's blessing, and the Japanese muskets in the city must not penetrate their rattan and penetrate their bodies.

"Let you Tang people taste the power of my Yamato Warriors."

Sosaki Katsui, who retreated to the back, shouted angrily while loading the medicine quickly and skillfully. As a warrior of the Warring States Period in Japan, Sosaki Katsui was so skilled that he was very "blindly equipped" in the reloading of iron cannons.

While staring at the city wall angrily, he was constantly busy with his hands.

He had a gunpowder bag on his right chest, and a disposable small gunpowder bag on his back. He was carrying a scattered bag on his back, with exquisite paint on it, and his name was written with hundreds of projectiles. He first took out a small metal tube from the gunpowder bag, erected the iron muzzle, injected the gunpowder into the tube, and pounded it with a strip of strips. The amount of gunpowder was about the same as that of the Ming army.

He took out a projectile from the tumulant, poured it into the iron cannon, and pounded it gently with a strip. When he heard the "crack" sound, Zongjiu Katsui knew that the projectile had been fixed. Since he wanted to shoot at the city, the lead bullet used had to be wrapped in a cotton piece so that the projectile would not slide out of the muzzle.

Next, Zongjiu Shengjing twisted the copper cast fire cover on the gun head, opened the fire dish, took out a small bag of gunpowder from the gunpowder bag, poured it into the fire door. Finally, closed the fire cover, took out a burning fuse rope and put it into the hit head.

In this way, the iron cannon of Zongjiukashi's body was loaded with the medicine.

Compared with the bird gun lifting guns of the Wuzhaibao army, the Japanese iron cannon barrels are similar in style to those of the Ming army, but they are slightly heavier than the Ming army's bird guns. There is a wooden bed underneath, the gun also has a sight gate, and there is a dust cover, which are all installed on the wooden support. In particular, the iron cannon used by high-level Japanese warriors is called the servant tube, which has a thicker body and is more powerful.

The iron cannon used by Zongjisaki Katsui is the squadron. The range and power of the squadron can be compared with the large guns of Wuzhai Fort. In fact, in these rounds of counterattacks, several Wuzhai Fort musketeers were killed and injured by Zongjisaki Katsui's squadron.

"Damn Tangren, come on!"

Zong Sakikatsui's eyes were red, and his heart was full of passionate fighting spirit. With a roar of a small flag, he came to the place where the arrows were made without hesitation, holding the waist of the servant's tube, three points in a line, aiming at the Wuzhai Fort musketeers under the city. At the same time, he also saw a row of hundreds of people in the city aiming at them.

"shooting!"

The commanders on the city and under the city all waved their own swords high.

"Smack sex..."

In the smoke spreading above and below the city, Zongjiu Shengjing seemed to see a Tangren iron gunner blown away by himself, but in the row of countless death flames that emerged from the opposite side, Zongjiu Shengjing suddenly felt his whole body tremble, and a ball of blood mist exploded from his head.

At the last moment, the mountains and rivers of his hometown, pleasant songs, the courtyard at home, and the smiles of his wife and daughter at him appeared in the mystic eyes of Zongjiukatsu. Next, Zongjiukatsuki no longer knew anything...

There was still a sound of killing in the city.
