With the dense volley of flintlock guns firing, because the distance is very close, everyone aims and fires. If the smoothbore gun is not accurate, it is inaccurate at a distance of more than 100 meters. At a distance of more than ten meters, it is impossible to miss.
of.
Puff puff puff! The dovetail cards in the front row were shot one after another.
Because this kind of shield is very high, it can completely block an entire person. However, the huge penetrating power of steel-core bullets can penetrate even three-millimeter steel plates. These light wood materials are simply the same as those in Zhihu, penetrating directly.
Flowers of blood burst out from behind the shield, and the shield hand was directly hit by the steel-core bullet. In front of such a powerful bullet, he couldn't even scream, and was directly hit by the huge kinetic energy and fell backward.
The three-eyed gunman at the back was completely exposed. A large number of casualties were caused in the front row, and twenty people fell to the ground in this round of firing.
Baiyin saw the opportunity quickly and immediately shouted, "Charge over and chop the fire gunman to death."
At this time, the rifleman needs to load ammunition. Although the ammunition is fixed, it is much faster than the three-eyed gun. The three-eyed gun can be loaded in one minute, while the flintlock gun only takes less than ten seconds.
However, the opponent still had three-eye muskets loaded with ammunition, and the two rows of waiting soldiers did not fire. They reacted from the panic and could fire at any time. This pair of unprotected fusiliers who were loading would cause huge losses.
At this time, you must rush over and kill the remaining musketeers. Buy time to reload your flintlock.
The entire team lying on the ground immediately jumped up and rushed forward with cavalry swords and Mongolian scimitars. They slashed at the panicked Dovetail Player and Three-Eyed Gunman who were turned upside down by a round of bullets.
When the fight entered at this time, the combat effectiveness advantage of the Mongolians and the Han soldiers trained by Yang Fan was immediately and vividly reflected.
The three-eyed gunmen on the opposite side were already dead and injured, and these people were all incompetent in fighting skills, so they were assigned to be fire gunmen. Those who could fight would be soldiers with cold weapons.
In this era, soldiers were generally deployed in this way. This was true for the Jiannu, and it was also true for the Ming Dynasty. Because firearms do not require high physical fitness and fighting ability, as long as they can be used skillfully.
Su He, Tada, and Akela took the lead and quickly rushed into the front row among the guard soldiers and the three-eyed gunmen. They picked up their sabers and Mongolian scimitars and began to kill the enemies.
Su He was from Changli, North Zhili, and his sword skills were passed down from his family. After he joined the team, he switched to the cavalry sword issued by his superiors.
Su He struck a three-eyed gunman in the face with his knife, cutting three inches into his face.
Su He kicked him in the chest and pulled out the knife.
He took advantage of the opportunity to avoid being hit by another three-eyed gunman, and cut off one of his arms with a backhand knife. He rolled to the ground in pain.
Su He loved this cavalry sword to death.
Not only does it have a steel mouth, it won't break no matter how you cut it. The center of gravity is very convenient, making it indescribably comfortable to hold in your hand. It's easier to use than any knife he has ever used.
On the contrary, the family heirloom sword he brought with him is no longer used much.
Tada and Akela were also good at using Mongolian knives. The three of them rushed at the front, waving their dazzling swords, slashing and banging, and rushed all the way. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people were hacked to death.
Seeing how brave the three of them were, the whole squad was greatly inspired and shouted for kill in unison. The whole squad followed quickly. For a moment, the swords were shining brightly, and flesh and limbs were flying everywhere. The entire city wall became a Shura battlefield.
The more than 100 guardsmen and 60 gunmen who were at the front were cut down one after another. There was almost no enemy in front of the first team.
These soldiers don't look at the enemy's weapons at all, they only focus on slashing. Because they know that there is no need to block, just slash directly.
Because the stab-proof clothing will block the opponent's cold weapons, spears and daggers cannot penetrate, let alone these slashing weapons. If it is a firearm, the stab-proof clothing cannot block it, and it is impossible to block it. Simply ignore it and let it go.
The killing started.
Heiyunlong's soldiers were all dumbfounded. These people had a desperate fighting style. They only attacked without defense and slashed all the way. They went straight to the neck and other vital points.
Heiyunlong shouted: "Hold them off and don't let them escape. All of you, rush forward. Anyone who retreats will be shot without mercy."
Seeing that the guardsmen in front were about to collapse again, he could only ask his servants to increase their intensity in supervising the battle.
At this time, apart from his two sons, there were only more than fifty servants left with him.
Seeing how capable these people were in fighting, Heiyun Longyan saw that in front of him were more than a hundred guardsmen, more than 60 gunmen, and more than 30 spearmen and servants supervising the battle, and he was about to be unable to withstand them.
He winked at his two sons. The father and son retreated unnoticed under the protection of more than a dozen trusted servants.
"The northern city wall cannot be defended. We cannot send all our capital here. Let's retreat back to Wenchang Tower, where the platform is high and strong, and there are tiger squatting cannons. I left enough weapons and ammunition there, as well as food and
Shuijing, let's withdraw and stick to it." Hei Yunlong said softly.

"Dad, what will happen if the Mongols invade?" Hei Mingxiao asked anxiously.
"Bah, it doesn't matter whether those profiteers live or die, isn't it enough for our brothers to be wronged by them in this fortress? They have 20,000 strong men in this city, let them find their own way. Five hundred of us have died.
Why can’t we still light it here?” Hei Minglian scolded.
Seeing his father nodding, Hei Minglian shouted, "Retreat, retreat back to Wenchang Pavilion."
It was too late to hold the front. Half of the 200 people had been killed, and the remaining 100 people seemed to have been granted amnesty. Seeing that the Hei family father and son had run away with more than 60 servants and soldiers, they immediately turned around and ran away.
.
They wanted to run away for a long time. At this time, they hated their parents for losing two legs. They threw away their shields, three-eyed guns, and swords and guns, fearing that they would not be able to run fast.
Didn’t you see that the three fathers and sons of Hei Shou ran down the horse track?
Watching the defenders collapse and run away, the two teams immediately pursued them, but were stopped at the corner of the city wall.
This is the corner where the north city wall turns to the west city wall. There is a turret. Below is the sloped horse path leading up and down the city wall.
Squadron leader Luo Fugui arrived with another team from their squadron who had just climbed up the ladder.
"Stop the pursuit immediately, move all the dead bodies over, and build a wall here. Hei Yunlong has escaped, but the main force in this city is not Hei Yunlong and his guards and servants. Nor is it the 300-man camp.
They are not soldiers, but eight profiteers with nearly 20,000 strong men. They are here to stand firm and prepare for their counterattack."
At this time, the battalion in the eastern section was defeated earlier and had already escaped down the horse path at the east corner.
Wang Fen still has about 100 people left. He is very clear-headed and has the same idea as Hei Yunlong. He is also cursing the profiteers in his heart for refusing to save them and letting his 300 people and Hei Yunlong's more than 500 people stand up.
Resistance from the front.
He directly abandoned the north city wall with his defeated troops and ran to Wenchang Pavilion. He was not a fool, although his station was the school field in the east of the city. There was his barracks and warehouse.
However, the soldiers in the camp have not been paid for a year. The rats in the warehouse are starving to death. Everything that can be sold in the armory has been sold.
Otherwise, these three hundred people would eat and drink whatever they wanted.
He had discovered it a long time ago. Hei Yunlong, this old boy, is very cunning. He has been reinforcing Wenchang Pavilion for a long time. He built bluestone strips around the platform base to raise the height of the platform. He also stored a large amount of money in the basement of Wenchang Pavilion.
food and supplies, as well as firearms and weapons.
He has been here for six years and has often made money through smuggling.
This small Wenchang Pavilion was a solid stronghold for him to save his life. There was sufficient ammunition, food, and wells, so it was possible to hold on for three months. The Mongols would have already retreated by then.
Now, the blizzard has stopped and the weather is getting warmer quickly. The Beijing army is probably about to arrive.
He lost his mind and lost all his capital to serve as a shield for profiteers. In the end, the court will definitely hold him accountable for losing his land.
However, as long as Wenchang Pavilion was not lost, Zhangjiakou Fort was not completely lost.
As for the profiteers, you can make up your own mind. I won’t serve you anymore.
