"Load the ammunition, stay down here, no one is allowed to shoot, wait for the order. Do you hear me?" Huang Yugang shouted.

"heard it."

At this time, these Rumi gun soldiers were on the battlefield for the first time. If they said they were not nervous, it would be a lie. At this time, some of them had dry mouths with no saliva at all, some were trembling, and some had no idea what to do with their hands.

Where should I put it? As soon as I put it on the trigger ring, I was so scared that I quickly took it away.

If it accidentally goes off, it will be shot by military law.

Zhang Laosan had never seen a barbed wire fence before. He looked at the barbed iron wires hanging on the dark wooden posts ten meters away and fluttering in the wind. He was a little confused.

"Old Huang, tell me, can this thing called a barbed wire fence block those rioters? It doesn't look as effective as blocking horses. This thing is floating around, which makes me very nervous.

Zhang Laosan turned around and asked.

Huang Youguang carefully poked his head out, looked at it again, and said, "Who says it's not the case? Just these few wire ropes can do a lot of good."

Xiaoqi Huang Yugang scolded: "You two gangsters know nothing. As mentioned above, the horse is heavy and difficult to carry when marching. Moreover, these rebels in Ji Town have a lot of heavy armored infantry. They are made of thick logs.

If you resist the horse, they will rush up and move it away. Haven't you heard that when fighting Jiannu over there in Liaodong, the heavy armored infantry rushed up and moved the resisting horse away every time, and then the cavalry rushed up to kill the fire gunners, and they were defeated.

Like a mountain falling."

Zhang Laosan and Huang Youguang took a breath of air. This tactic was very effective against the fire cannon soldiers. The quality of the Ming's fire cannons was not good, so they might not be able to penetrate Jiannu's triple armor.

If they use heavy infantry to resist the muskets, move away the resisting horses, and then charge with the cavalry, the musketeers will have no resistance at all and can only be a one-sided massacre. They will not be able to run away, because humans cannot outrun four horse legs.

Zhang Laosan said dissatisfiedly: "Then these broken wires will be useful."

Huang Yugang said: "I have never seen the actual combat effect of this thing. I heard that it floats around without any force and is difficult to climb. You will know after a while of fighting."

At this time, another green firework bomb flew into the sky and exploded with a bang. Suddenly, a large area in the sky was filled with smoke.

"Stop talking, cover your ears and open your mouth. We're going to fire." Huang Yugang immediately threw himself down on the sloping side wall of the trench, covered his ears and opened his mouth.

At this time, the rebels from all sides had surged up like a tide, reaching within a hundred meters.

At this moment, artillery fire rang out again. The golden bronze cannons spurted out flames one after another. Then they quickly backed up and retracted into the car. (Bronze is golden, and the green bronze we saw is oxidized and rusted.

The oxide layer formed.)

This time is different from the previous solid spherical bullets. This time the shell emitted not a sharp whistling sound, but a buzzing sharp sound. This kind of business seemed to spread in a fan shape. The sound was like a discus.

Impact forward on a fan instead of the previous linear sound.

Firearmsmen all know that artillery is replaced by shotgun shells.

Their shotguns come in several specifications. This kind is a pack of 300 rounds of steel balls with one or two weights. It weighs a little more than twenty kilograms. One kilogram and sixteen taels, a single bullet weighs about thirty grams. This is already heavy.

It was shot. Because there were many rebels on the opposite side holding shields, heavy armored infantry, and the remaining shield vehicles, still pushing forward.

The shotguns in the car camp were all prepared during Yang Fan's time. One shot was fired and the other shot was missing. Zhou Yuji was reluctant to use it in daily training. Before the war, Zhou Yuji personally checked the warehouse and found one or two heavy shotshells, used for hitting vehicles and shields.

, there are still 3,000 rounds. There are 10,000 rounds of medium-sized rounds, for hitting armored heavy infantry. Small rounds are used to kill unprotected personnel. Fully four kilograms of rusty and discarded bicycle balls are installed. There are 30,000 rounds of this type.

.

Although the quantity is large, five hundred guns will be used up in one salvo. These stocks are not enough to fire a hundred salvos.

Now, no longer in Yang Fan's system, this kind of steel balls will no longer be available. In the future, if I want to replenish shotguns, I will have to make them myself. I can only use steel slag, iron filings or even pebbles instead.

The use of shotguns must be ordered by Zhou Yuji himself. This shows how much he attaches importance to these steel ball shotguns.

This kind of heavy-duty shield-destroying heavy-duty ammunition for vehicles only has enough inventory for six volleys. Zhou Yuji knew that it was the most urgent situation for the rebels to overthrow Tongzhou. Good steel must be used on the blade, and at this time it is necessary to grit one's teeth.

I took out the dry goods.

Boom boom boom! Pieces of oval-shaped discus clouds of steel bullets flew forward.

During the flight, the steel balls gradually spread out and the area gradually expanded.

At this time, some of the rebels had already rushed to 50 meters away, and some were still around 100 meters away. They were about to reach the city. Everyone started shouting wildly. For a moment, their arrogance was soaring to the sky.

At this moment, a dense rain of steel bullets hit us.

The heavy solid steel balls directly beat the one-foot-thick spliced ​​wooden boards of the shield car into a sieve. These strong elm boards did not play any hindrance, but fell apart under the dense rain of steel balls, splashing around in dense

The steel ball passed through the wooden shield and swept across the soldiers behind.

There was a popping sound, and one or two heavy bullets directly broke the bones and tendons of the soldiers behind. The crowd fell in a large area like cut wheat.

The soldiers who were holding shields made of tree trunks as thick as an arm's length nailed together, and shields made of bamboo as thick as a bowl, were swept away by the dense rain of steel as steel balls smashed these crudely made large shields to pieces.

And passed.

After a round of volleys, at a distance of fifty to eighty meters, the tidal wave of insurgent soldiers were wiped out. Each dense crowd seemed to have been bitten off a large piece.

The momentum of the rebels suddenly stagnated, and the people behind them stopped in their tracks as if they were frightened.

Before his eyes was a horrifying scene of broken limbs and broken arms, and the liver and brain being smeared to pieces. The ground was stained red with flesh and blood.

However, the hesitation lasted less than ten seconds. These people were so frightened that they became angry and crazy. Howling, they rushed forward again.

They stepped on the sticky ground of blood and minced meat, slipping and stumbling, rolling and crawling forward. They fell, got up again, and continued to move forward stumblingly.

Dong Jishu and others were dumbfounded. They did not expect that these rebels in Ji Town had such a strong will.

In fact, their will did not come from greed for robbery, but from the resentment and indignation of being oppressed by the imperial court that had accumulated over more than ten years.

Wang Kun was frightened to the point of peeing again. He slumped on the floor, holding on to the railing with both hands. He saw in the eyes of these rebels the determination to die together.

At this time, a passage he had learned when he was a boy studying in Prince Xin's Mansion suddenly flashed through his mind:

Mencius told King Xuan of Qi: "If the king regards his ministers as his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his belly and heart; if his ministers regard his ministers as dogs and horses, then his ministers will regard him as a fellow countryman; if his ministers regard his ministers as earth and mustard, then his ministers will regard him as a bandit."
