Li Jingwu was frightened when he saw it. He bent slightly and asked humbly.
The emperor watched with concentration, and after hearing his question, he said:
"The optimal shooting range of the bird gun is fifty steps, and the effective shooting range of the raised gun is eighty to one hundred steps."
"But, you have to remember one thing. The shorter the distance, the more courageous it is to test the enemy and our troops. Similarly, the more cruel it is for the enemy..."
Wei Dayong felt the weight on his shoulders, and his ears were filled with various sounds of breaking through the air. Being familiar with muskets, he understood that this was the sound of ammunition.
"ah--"
At this time, there was a scream on the left, and a big man a few feet away was shot by ammunition and immediately fell to the ground and was unable to get up.
"Are you OK!"
The musketeer behind immediately raised his gun, erected a five-foot-long fork on the ground, and placed the muzzle of the gun on it.
After the front bearer falls, this is the role of the fork lever.
Similarly, if the rear gunner falls, the same will happen to the rear gunner.
"Why haven't you shot yet?"
There was a trembling voice behind his ears. Wei Dayong understood that it belonged to his companion, and he immediately said: "You are so scared, I am blocking you from the front!"
"Then stand still and don't move around!"
The selection of the gun bearer is also standard. He is tall and burly, and wears armor to block the rear gunners. At least one can be saved and the gun bearer will not be ineffective.
"preparation--"
At this time, the enemy in front of him kept getting bigger and closer, and even though Wei Dayong was wearing a mask, he still squinted his eyes in fear.
Hearing this, he was shocked and his waist straightened instantly.
After a series of movements, a sudden heat came from his shoulders, followed immediately by a recoil force that made him lean back uncontrollably.
"boom--"
The shooting range of the gun is twice that of the blunderbuss, the projectiles are much longer, and the sound is particularly dull.
Before many Qing soldiers noticed what was happening, wounds as big as a bowl appeared on their chests, and they were bleeding.
The deceased's face was full of disbelief, and he seemed to be still wondering, how could such a heavy armor be injured?
Almost in the blink of an eye, a volley fired and hundreds of infantrymen lost their combat effectiveness.
In this era, it is almost equivalent to a death sentence.
Crackling——
The musketeers of the Qing army still refused to give up. Perhaps the thick smoke made them forget their fear, and a large number of musketeers still moved forward.
"Step-"
The gunmen in the second row continued to move forward amidst the hail of bullets, stopping about five paces before firing projectiles.
The third row, the fourth row, the fifth row...
The empty ones are left to be filled, and when the cycle continues, it is as ordinary as eating and drinking, full of silence and calmness.
The injured gunner was lying on the ground, waiting for the personnel at the rear to carry him off the battlefield so as not to disrupt the formation.
As a result, the Ming army's front army moved forward step by step, and a piece of the Qing army's formation was bitten off, but it could not be restored.
It is approaching the Chinese army.
Moreover, because the distance was too close, the wounds were extremely deep, the tragedy was extremely horrific, and many people lost their arms and legs.
The casualties were so tragic that for a while, the heavy armored infantry of the Qing Dynasty became frightened.
Morale is on the verge of collapse.
"Where's the artillery? Use artillery—"
With a look of distress on his face, Jierhalang turned his head and said to Shang Kexi and the others: "The Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty went to support and defeat those spearmen."
"As you command——"
Shang Kexi and the other three had no choice but to accept the offer.
Both the Manchu Banner and the Mongolian Banner suffered, how could the Han Banner stay aloof?
And on both wings, Meng Baqi had to throw forward, trying to break through as much as possible.
But at this time, the Ming army was not like before, where their calves would weaken when they saw the cavalry, and they would collapse as soon as they charged.
Grain weed
If you continue to use the same old methods, you will only suffer big losses.
Obviously, the Mengba Banner was hit hard and suffered heavy artillery attacks. For a while, it hesitated and wandered around.
The two routes were blocked, especially the continuous sound of musketry from the front army, which cast a shadow on the hearts of Hauge and others.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and the thick smoke gradually dispersed.
The battlefield was in a mess. Thousands of heavy armored infantry had been beaten to pieces. A large number of muskets were thrown on the ground. Broken limbs were everywhere. The bare grass was soaked with blood, showing a black and red color.
"Damn-"
Luckard's eyes were all cracked.
At this time, the gunmen who were showing off their power seemed to notice that there was no enemy in front of them, so they suddenly stopped and then changed their direction openly.
"what happened?"
Just when they were confused, a group of normal musketeers stepped out of the queue and took their places.
"Looks like we're out of ammunition."
Jierhalang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it was a normal shotgun, it would never be able to break through the heavy armor.
The two men in front of us were no longer raising their guns, so there was no threat.
"The Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty are up."
The Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, armed with shotguns and shields, also filled the gap with trembling steps.
Seeing the musketeers who could break through heavy armor leaving, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Although the power of the raised gun is not as good as that of the raised gun, it is faster."
Zhu Yixi looked up and sneered.
On the side, Li Jingwu and others, even if they saw the strength of raising a gun, were dumbfounded and frightened in their hearts.
"Your Majesty, this spear is so powerful that even the cavalry may not be able to defeat it!"
Bai Guangen exaggerated.
"As long as the formation is well-arranged, the cavalry will just wait and see under the continuous gunpowder."
Zhu Yixi said with a smile.
"The Eight Banners have moved!"
Suddenly, Chen Dong, who was paying close attention to the Beijing camp, suddenly spoke.
Only then did everyone turn their attention to the two wings.
I saw Meng Baqi looking towards both sides and giving up his position.
At this time, the Manbaqi who was in the rear suddenly moved forward.
Crackling——
Suddenly, there was a burst of gunfire, and a plume of smoke followed.
I saw that the spearmen in front of the two wings instantly fell down in a row, revealing a gap.
Meng Baqi came quickly, like a loach, looking for the entrance of the cave and trying to drill in.
For a moment, both wings were in danger of collapse.
At this time, the shield bearers in the back row immediately stepped forward, inserted a shield as high as a person on the ground, and vigorously resisted the impact of the war horse.
In conjunction with the shield hand, there were crossbows and spears, which finally stopped the gap from widening.
Seeing that the two wings were so strong, the Mengba Banner and the Manbaqi Banner stopped doing useless work and continued to wander.
However, it didn't take long before many cavalry began to gather and charge towards the two wings again.
The Ming army was ready and waiting.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no strong storm, and there was only a light drizzle.
"Rear Army!"
Under Zhu Yixi's gaze, tens of thousands of cavalrymen gathered together, forming an extremely sharp short blade, and charged forward towards the rear army.
"Crackling——"
The shotgun cleared the way and instantly exploded a hole.
The cavalry galloped forward at lightning speed, swarming in like locusts, eager to devour flesh and blood.
