The two sides quickly approached, and soon they were twenty steps away.
Thirty meters is the maximum combat distance of the fire gate gun, because it is afraid of loading too much gunpowder for fear of exploding the chamber.
The cavalry led by Donkey Dan formed two horizontal lines.
The front and rear teams are staggered, and both the front and rear teams can fire, but at the same time, the rear team can deal with enemies who are close to the front team.
Bang bang bang! A burst of fire flashed.
Fifteen lances sprayed out flames and lead bullets, and six people were immediately hit and fell to the ground. Four were dead and motionless. Two were hit in the thigh, with broken leg bones. They hugged their thighs and wailed on the ground.
.
"Speed up and rush over, don't let them reload, hurry up!" Before old man Lin could finish shouting, the second row of cavalry's lances opened fire again, and another fifteen rounds of lead bullets were fired. This time, seven people fell to the ground.
Everyone sped up, knowing that if they didn't rush forward they would be beaten.
Then there were two rounds of free fire, thirty rounds of lead bullets, directly placed on fifteen people. Because the distance was closer, the accuracy rate increased.
By this time, they had already rushed to a distance of about ten meters in front of the horse.
"Everyone form a formation and get over here."
The people in the first row curled up into a ball and rolled on the spot. The shields on their backs were curved, making them suitable for rolling on the ground.
Donkey Dan yelled: "Three rapid fire shots in the first row"
Old man Lin's heart trembled. He didn't expect that they still had bullets after two rounds. Even if it was a three-eyed gun, there should only be one bullet left.
Soon the roar of the muskets filled my ears. The shields and chainmails were of no use at all and were penetrated directly. At this distance, there was no problem of missing. Originally, the best shooting distance of the fire door gun was ten meters.
Left and right. Definitely refers to where to hit.
Twenty of the remaining thirty men were knocked down, and the last ten jumped up and were about to chop off the horse's legs. Then, three rapid fire shots from the second row of cavalry hit them like a storm.
These people were shot several times and fell down one by one.
Old Man Lin looked at the dead bodies in front of him in disbelief. There were several blood holes in his chest. He couldn't help coughing, and blood poured out of his mouth with every bite.
His eyes were turning black and it was difficult to breathe. He knew that blood was filling his lungs, and he would soon suffocate and be hopeless.
Donkey Dan looked at the old man's stubborn refusal to fall down and cursed: "Humph, Lao Deng."
This is Zhang Gaida's catchphrase in Liaodong dialect. It is used to scold those old people for being bad learners, or bad people for getting old.
Old man Lin didn't understand what Lao Deng was. He raised his head and took one last look at the southern sky.
At this moment, his life flashed before his eyes, and the last thing he remembered was a boatman girl he met when he was eighteen.
He smiled bitterly, maybe this was a regret in his life, why he didn't say what was in his heart back then.
He felt that the world was spinning, but in fact he was spinning and falling. The sky was so blue, exactly the same as that year.
Donkey Dan inserted his lance into the cowhide holster next to the saddle. He watched the cavalryman take out his saber and walked towards Qian Zigui and the others step by step.
When Qian Zigui heard the gunfire, he looked back in horror. More than fifty people charged desperately, but without any results, they were shot down by thirty cavalrymen with blunderbuss.
Suddenly, I felt desperate. I was really deceived by lard, so I was deceived by my clan uncle Gu to do this stupid thing of confiscating my family and annihilating my clan.
His legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
The three servants also had a nervous breakdown. They knelt down and cried, "Army, please spare your life, please spare your life!"
At the same time, five hundred miles away in the Forbidden City, in a quiet room on the second floor of the Qianqing Palace, the young emperor was kneeling on the floor and shivering.
It’s really time to push the gourd and start the ladle. The people behind this are not done with me. They just solved the problem of five thousand soldiers and horses entering Beijing privately, and found out the news that three thousand villains entered Beijing armed with weapons. These bastards have all gone to Tianjin. Yangliuqing Town of the Acropolis was established.
I will appear in the capital in a few days, three days or four days, what should I do?
This time it was more difficult than the last time. Last time it was officers and soldiers, and they could be ordered to retreat through the Ministry of War. This time it was bandits. Could it be that I had issued an imperial edict to the bandits?
Who is this person? He has prepared both light and dark for me. His illusory figure seems to be mocking me in front of me. What he wants to do must be done. It doesn't matter if you are the emperor.
Last time, I almost managed it by walking on a tightrope and taking the risk of being undone if I was not careful.
Last time, he couldn't sleep since he received a secret report that a 5,000-strong infantry force under the command of the River Governor was heading north without orders.
This palace is full of spies who are nine thousand years old and Ke Baba. Only the maids in the three back palaces are his former acquaintances, and more than thirty of them are the heroines he has recruited over the years. Can feel more at ease.
Who recruited these people? How could they dare to go to Beijing without permission? Fortunately, they were discovered by Jinyiwei detectives when they disembarked from the ship to purchase goods in Linqing.
And that hidden pile happened to be penetrated by me three years ago.
After weighing it for a long time, I didn't dare to have an attack.
The current situation is so delicate that if you are not careful, this fragile balance will be broken.
He was scared to death at that time. After all, he was still a seventeen-year-old child.
These people claimed to come to the capital to support the emperor, eradicate the eunuchs, and restore peace to the world.
He was the first to curse in front of Wang Chengen, "Are you fucking helping me?" He was forcing Wei Qian to take action because he thought I didn't die quickly enough.
At this moment, veins popped up on his forehead. If he knew who was behind this, he would want to strangle him to death with his own hands.
Tu Shanyong, who entered the palace disguised as a eunuch and reported secretly, had a cold face full of anger.
He bet all his treasure on King Xin, and finally tried his best to push him to sit on this throne. Before his butt was even hot from sitting on it, someone immediately came to dig up his ancestral grave. Is this what the hell people do?
He calmed down and said slowly: "Your Majesty, calm down. The current strategy is not to track down the person responsible for this matter. The first priority is to give Governor Wei an attitude."
A word wakes up the dreamer.
At a critical moment, it is great wisdom to be able to distinguish ourselves from the enemy.
A true master is one who knows how to prioritize.
The young emperor grasped the dragon chair tightly with his hands, and his fingernails turned white.
Yes, Tushan is old enough to seek the country.
This matter cannot let Wei Yan see my depth, nor can it let him understand my intentions.
He sighed and said: "I regret that I didn't listen to you about the tiger-crouching-rabbit fool (Lin Dan Khan). What can I do now?"
"Tomorrow morning, I will report this matter first and make it clear publicly. Then His Majesty will get angry and ask the Ministry of War if there is any order."
Tu Shan's eyes flashed and he continued: "Cui Chengxiu, the Minister of War, is a member of the Governor of Wei. Your Majesty wants to give people an illusion. Your Majesty thinks that Cui Chengxiu sent troops to Beijing privately. Your Majesty raised it high and then put it down gently. It hurts.
After scolding him, the Ministry of War was ordered to order the troops and horses of the unit to return to Yangzhou garrison. The relevant personnel of the Ministry of War were fined three years' salary."
The young emperor thought for a while and said: "This shows that I have no intention of touching Duke Wei. And Duke Wei doesn't know that I know the truth. He thinks that he can see my attitude towards him through this incident. This kind of thing
If you can tolerate everything, what can't be tolerated? At least I can show weakness to him, which shows that I am afraid of him."
Tu Shanyong nodded, the emperor was smart, he just put forward an opinion, he would figure it out immediately.
Chongzhen continued: "If we don't deal with this matter, Duke Wei will definitely deal with it. He will be more ruthless than us."
Tu Shanyong hesitated for a moment, as if he was considering whether he should say the next words.
Chongzhen had already keenly sensed Tu Shanyong's concerns. He immediately said: "What else is involved in this matter? You don't have to worry."
