"What are you? Stop. This is the residence of the late Ming Dynasty Minister Li Gong. Who are you and why are you gathering with weapons?" Chang Sheng shouted angrily.
Yang Fan put on his helmet with the ghost face visor, only revealing a pair of bright eyes, and said with a sneer: "Why are you here, huh! Come here to collect the debt, Li Mansion, you owe me the money you owe me."
"Nonsense! How can my dignified Li family owe money to outsiders? Who are you? Please don't talk nonsense." Chang Sheng rebuked angrily.
Chang Sheng wouldn't have bothered to talk nonsense with them if he hadn't seen more and more people in the square in front of the gate, each of them looking murderous.
These people wearing Japanese clothes and armor quickly ran to both sides along the wall, apparently intending to surround Li Mansion.
"If you say no, it's okay. Let Li Sancai come out to confront you."
"You, my father has been dead for five years, how can you come out to confront me?"
"After death, the debt must not be broken. The ten million taels of silver your master owes me, even if it is missing a copper, must be paid back in full today. You rush in and move all the valuable things you see to me.
"
"promise!"
"Hi!"
Chang Sheng couldn't see it and ran through the door. He was about to shout to close the door inside. Suddenly there was a bang and Chang Sheng fell on the threshold.
Zhang Geda proudly blew the muzzle smoke of the double-barreled short-fire gun. He sneered and said, "I've already taken a stand. Anyone who makes a move will be punished."
Zhang Geda deliberately waited for him to run to the threshold before firing, so that if he fell on the threshold, he would not be able to close the door. Zhang Geda was bad. He had experienced various emergencies in his life, and he had extremely rich experience.
More than 30 people around Yang Fan pointed at the guards at the door with short muskets in each hand. At the same time, the team of servants quickly rushed to the door. They forced the guards under the wall with bayonets and quickly took control of the door.
Yang Fan led everyone in and entered the gate. Behind it was a small square. At this time, the sound of gunshots alerted the guards in the mansion, and more than 200 people rushed out from the side rooms on both sides and the courtyard.
Yang Fan looked at it and nodded secretly. This reaction speed was much higher than that of Jingying.
These servants were very well equipped. The green robes on the outside were very bloated, and they were obviously wearing chain mail underneath. They had wild goose feather knives hanging on their waists, and they carried bird guns in their hands.
Bird gun, also known as beak gun or bird gun, is the name of matchlock gun during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is called bird gun because it can shoot down flying birds. It is called bird beak gun because its ignition structure resembles a bird's beak when igniting.
It got its name from pecking at water.
Bird guns were probably introduced to China during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. Compared with the original barrel firearms, a rear sight, a star, a gun holder, and a gun were added, and the gun could be held with both hands at the same time and fired.
The fire door gun must be coordinated by two people, one person holds the gun and one person ignites it to achieve maximum efficiency, while the matchlock gun can be fired independently by one person, freeing one person.
These servants can wear chain mail and are equipped with muskets, which is quite remarkable. Blunderbuss are very expensive.
The barrel of the gun is made of red-hot wrought iron, rolled on a steel rod, and beaten into a barrel. There are no bubbles or cracks in the barrel and it is not easy to explode.
Then use a hand drill to drill out a smooth bore with the same caliber from front to back little by little.
A skilled craftsman can build a gun barrel in a month.
The servants around Yang Fan immediately raised their bulletproof glass shields and rushed forward to protect Yang Fan. Then the servants opened fire with short blazing guns.
More than fifty servants armed with double-barreled guns rushed in and immediately fired more than two hundred rounds of lead bullets. A burst of smoke filled the air, and more than forty servants of the Li family were shot down.
Immediately afterwards, the servants of the Li Mansion also opened fire. Smoke suddenly rose in the small yard, and the visibility dropped rapidly.
This is also a common problem with firearms in this era. The gunpowder burns insufficiently and the smoke is too large.
The courtyard between the main gate and the second gate is a closed space surrounded by high walls. There is no wind today, and the visibility has dropped rapidly.
Sakurai Momo and Lin Yueru choked and coughed. Lin Yueru took out three masks from her arms and helped Yang Fan put them on first, then handed one to Sakurai Momo and motioned for her to put it on.
Sakurai Momo fiddled with it in confusion, not knowing how to use it.
Lin Yueru had no choice but to put it on herself, and Sakurai Momo finally realized and learned to put it on properly.
After putting it on, I didn't feel choked at all.
Taozi nodded with satisfaction.
This is Momo Sakurai's first time on the battlefield, her first intuitive experience of the test of blood and fire.
She was still very nervous. She was just a weak woman who had never even killed a chicken. Just now she saw Zhang Geda kill the head servant with one shot.
My heart couldn't help but tremble.
Yang Fan held her hand silently and gave her a comforting look. Taozi lowered her head in shame.
Yang Jun was disappointed, he was really useless.
"It doesn't matter. It's the first time you go into battle. It's inevitable that you won't get used to it. Just get used to it."
"Well, Taozi listens to Yang Jun." Taozi nodded obediently and looked at Yang Fan with admiration.
At this time, a semicircular bulletproof shield as tall as a person appeared in front of it, protecting it from the lead bullets fired from the front and both sides.
Yang Fan intended to train Taozi and let her experience the feeling of bullets and bullets. She could not learn this knowledge only if others told her.
Water at 100 degrees is called boiling water, which is called knowledge. When you are boiled by water at 100 degrees, it is called experience. What Sakurai Momo needs is not knowledge, but experience.
Bang bang bang!
The east courtyard gate, the west courtyard gate, and the two front gates were all crowded with servants holding shotguns. The servants who just rushed out of these three gates were shot down by handguns. The rest fled back to the door and faced Yang Fan.
Wait for the semicircular array that rushes in to fire.
The lead bullet hit the glass shield and got stuck directly. The shield was not damaged, but there was some mold at the place where it was hit. The shield is made of multiple layers of plexiglass and is transparent.
The effect of the densely flying lead bullets frightened Taozi so much that her heart almost jumped out of her skin. The surrounding bonsai, bonsai, and eaves were blown up one after another. Broken pieces flew into the sky. When they hit the ground, stone chips flew into the sky.
She was so frightened that she crawled into Yang Fan's arms with a cry.
He buried his head in Yang Fan's chest, his chest rising and falling violently.
The shields were as tall as one person, and they overlapped each other, firmly protecting Yang Fan and others.
Yang Fan smiled and turned Taozi's body over, letting her face the transparent shield and watching the lead bullets fly over. Only by experiencing it personally can you be calm and composed on the battlefield in the future.
"It's okay, lead bullets can't hit it." Yang Fan said with a smile.
After a round of musket fire, Yang Fan said to Tao Zi, "It's time for you to give the order. It takes a long time to reload the musket. At this time, you should let your men rush forward and take the opportunity to kill the musketeer."
"Well, I understand." After saying that, Taozi tried to stand up, even though her body was still shaking a little, she took out a fan from her arms, pointed in three directions, and said: "Ono-kun, Murata-kun, Zuo Zuomu
Jun, you rush over and kill the musketeers."
"Hi!"
The three officers immediately led their respective squadrons and rushed forward from three directions.
The courtyard was not big, only 20 meters square for each length. The Japanese pirates rushed up quickly.
Listening to the wild howls of these people, Dingmen, the servant, also trembled in his heart. These people are not from the Ming Dynasty. Who are they?
However, before they could recover, the Japanese pirates had already rushed in front of them.
At this time, the musketeers in the front wanted to retreat and reload their ammunition. The musketeers in the back who had not fired their weapons wanted to push forward, and suddenly became chaotic as the Japanese pirates approached.
Yang Fan sighed, reckless men without formal training, even if they risk their lives, are no match for the regular army. Their cooperation on the battlefield is too poor, and they have no effective command and organization at all.
