The bandits were suddenly hit hard, and they all froze on the mountainside and stopped in their tracks!
Impossible, the blunderbuss of the officers and soldiers cannot be lethal at such a distance!
But before they could react, the second row of soldiers opened fire again!
"Second row shooting!"
After the gunpowder exploded, the choking smell of saltpeter filled the mountain top, like the smell of death.
The bandits stood motionless on the mountainside, naturally becoming the best targets. On the short mountain road, blood spattered everywhere! The soldiers in the second row fired a volley and killed another twenty-six bandits.
In front of Mini rifles, these tough bandits were as fragile as paper. The twenty-six bandits who were shot were like soulless sandbags, plopping down on the mountainside.
The bandits woke up from a dream, started screaming, and some tried to escape to the foot of the mountain.
The leader of the bandits, Guo Shankong, slashed a deserter in the back. Blood flew everywhere. The deserter screamed and fell to the ground. Guo Shankong shouted loudly: "The blunderbuss is slow to reload and can only be used once. Come on us."
Just win!”
Encouraged by the big leader, the bandits gathered their courage and rushed to the top of the mountain.
However, the two hundred and fifty meters up the mountain road is not that easy to walk.
"Third row! Shoot!"
Amidst the deafening gunfire, thirty pieces of thick black fog emerged from the muzzle of the Mini rifle one after another, shrouding half of the mountain. The bullets, like the call of death, shot towards the mountain more than 200 meters away, which was difficult to climb.
The thieves rushed away.
The mini rifle's armor-breaking ability is very strong at a distance of more than 200 meters. Even wearing cotton armor can't withstand it, not to mention that most bandits don't wear armor. These bullets penetrated into the bandit's body one by one, breaking the
It opened the bandits' skin, rotated and penetrated deeper, tearing the bandits' internal organs into a bloody mess.
"Fourth row shooting!"
Another large smoke came out from the top of the mountain, and the fourth row of soldiers pressed the trigger.
Jiang Chong, a soldier in the fourth row, aimed at a bandit who was rushing at the front. The bandit was wearing cotton armor and was obviously a bandit leader. Jiang Chong calmed down and pressed the trigger.
The bolt hit the gunpowder tray and made a soft "click" sound, but it failed to ignite the ignition powder. Although the flintlock gun with a fine steel bolt had an ignition rate of 80%, it could not ignite successfully every time. Jiang
The first time I charged, I couldn't fire it smoothly.
However, Jiang Chong had long been accustomed to this situation in training. He still aimed his gun at the bandit leader and pressed the trigger for the second time.
There was a loud "pop", and the gun struck the ignition powder and spurted out flames. The fire was all around. Jiang Chong was so stimulated by the bright light that he closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he found that the leader had fallen on the mountain road.
At this distance, cotton armor cannot protect against minion bullets.
This was the first time Jiang Chong shot an enemy. Jiang Chong patted the stone next to him and looked at his comrades around him excitedly to see if anyone noticed his sniper kill. However, the comrades around him were all reloading.
, no one looked at Jiang Chong. Jiang Chong was stunned, and quickly took out the purge to clean the gun chamber, preparing for the next shot.
After the fourth row finished fighting, twenty-five more bandits fell on the mountain road. In the first round of shooting, the Mini rifles killed more than a hundred bandits.
The Mini rifle demonstrated lethality beyond its era.
"Guo Shankong" saw that the muskets on the top of the mountain had finished firing a round, and shouted with red eyes: "Their muskets are finished! Charge up! If you charge up, you will win!"
One hundred and seventy steps away from the top of the mountain, the bandits who had suffered heavy losses screamed and rushed towards the top of the mountain with all their strength!
These gangsters gathered in the mountains, but they didn't understand the reloading speed of the mini rifle with a flintlock action.
Five or six seconds after the fourth row finished shooting, the first row had loaded its bullets again. Two hundred meters away from the bandit's forward, the first row of soldiers began to take aim.
"First row, shoot!"
In the stunned eyes of the bandits, there was another crackling sound of shooting from the top of the mountain, and overwhelming black smoke came out. Thirty-one rounds of bullets were fired at the bandits!
"ah!"
"ah!!"
A few hundred meters of mountain road turned into a slaughterhouse.
A bandit was hit in the head by a bullet. The high-speed rotating bullet broke open the skull and spurted out a pool of blood and brain matter.
A bandit was hit in the stomach by a bullet. The mini bullet entered his body and spun sideways, smashing his kidneys and bladder, causing him to fall to the ground instantly.
A bandit was hit in the leg bone by a mini bullet, and his thigh was immediately broken. He fell on the mountainside and screamed loudly. The scream severely impacted the morale of the bandits.
The bandits discovered that something was wrong. The firepower from the top of the mountain not only shot far and reloaded quickly. Some bandits gradually lost the courage to rush up and began to retreat, leaving other companions around them to the front to bear the firepower from the top of the mountain.
of shooting.
"Second row! Shoot!"
"Third row! Shoot!"
Every time a platoon started shooting, a group of bandits fell on the mountain road. The Mini rifle was like a lawnmower, frantically harvesting the lives of the bandits on the mountain road.
No matter how tough the bandit is, no matter how good your martial arts skills are, it will only take one shot in front of you with a mini rifle.
The bandits in the Salt Mountain were the first targets of Mini rifles. By the time the bandits discovered the power of this rifle, it was already too late.
The bandits lost the courage to continue fighting, and turned around and fled to the foot of the mountain one by one. Even the brave bandit leader Guo Shankong understood that continuing to charge would definitely lead to death, so he grabbed a big knife and ran wildly across the road.
"Fourth Platoon! Shoot!"
"First row! Shoot!"
Bullets hit the back, the back of the head, and the thigh. The bandits screamed and fell on the mountainside. With their backs to the top of the mountain, the firepower poured out, and the bandits dropped dozens and dozens more on the mountain road.
body.
The bandits had no fighting spirit, and all the weapons in their hands had been discarded. Even those wearing armor had thrown away their helmets, just to run faster.
They wanted to escape to the 250 meters where the massacre started, out of what they thought was the musket range.
But they didn't know that the Mini rifle had a 90% hit rate at 300 meters, and even if it hit a target 400 meters away, it had a 60-70% hit rate. The reason why Li Zhi just let them go 250 meters before firing
, just to give them no way to escape.
"Second row! Shoot!"
"Third row! Shoot!"
The bandits fled 350 meters away, but the massacre continued. The mountain road was full of corpses, and the bandits who panicked would even trip over the corpses on the ground.
Guo Shankong looked at the bandits falling around him, feeling inexplicably horrified.
Ever since he raised the banner and raised the team at Caoyun Peak, when had he suffered such a big setback? The last time he fought all the way outside the county gate and defeated the county magistrate's archer team, he only lost three good soldiers.
In this county, Guo Shankong has become an overlord-like figure. He doesn't even need to take action to rob villages. He just sends someone to the other side and just pays the money and delivers the goods.
However, today, just for a cup of tea, I have left nearly two hundred brothers on this hillside. I have always been the only one who robbed other people's money, ravaged other people's wives and daughters, and killed other people. When had I ever been so embarrassed?
Now, I am so embarrassed that I don’t even know if I can save my life. I am already two hundred and fifty steps away from the top of the mountain, but the cannons on the top of the mountain are still killing my brothers one after another!
This is not a blunderbuss, this is a magic weapon, where do these officers and soldiers come from? Could it be that I, who has dominated Qy County for five or six years, is going to die here today?
Guo Shankong couldn't help but look back and saw Li Zhi commanding the battle on the top of the mountain. The military attache who defeated him was actually so young.
There was a "pop", and someone didn't know who aimed at Guoshankong and fired at him.
This shot was very accurate, and "Guo Shankong" was hit in the back of the head. The mini bullet was shot into Guo Shankong's head, causing him to lose his life immediately. He fell forward and screamed in a pool of blood.
.
The other bandits were extremely shocked when they saw this scene, but no one dared to stop and help Shankong.
Li Zhi's soldiers cheered when they saw the bandit leader knocked down. Li Zhi seemed to have obtained the official position of Deputy Qianhu, and whistled proudly.
The big leader was beaten to death, and the bandits who were still alive were even more panic-stricken.
The more than 40 bandits who were still running for their lives had been beaten crazy by the rifles on the top of the mountain. The rifles chased them to 350 meters away, and the range seemed to be infinite. They wanted to kneel down to beg for mercy, but they just knelt down and begged for mercy.
The people who came down were already killed, and even the kneeling bandits with their rifles on the top of the mountain were not spared and were still shot indiscriminately.
They finally gave up running down the mountain, and instead burrowed into the forest on the cliff where it was almost impossible to walk, and crawled on the steep cliff using their hands and feet.
Li Zhi would not let go of these bandits who were fleeing for their lives. He gave an order, and the soldiers rushed down the top of the mountain with their guns raised, walked to the mountainside and opened fire on the bandits who were struggling to crawl in the woods on the cliff. After a burst of gunfire,
More than thirty bandits fell on the difficult-to-climb cliff.
In the end, a dozen bandits had climbed far away and could not be hit through the trees. Li Zhi asked his troops to climb into the cliff woods in squad units to pursue them, trying to kill them.
Ten minutes later, most of the last dozen bandits were beaten to death and their heads were cut off by the soldiers.
Seeing that the last few bandits had been beheaded, the soldiers cheered loudly and clapped each other in celebration.
However, after the excitement of victory passed, the soldiers calmed down. Looking at the bloody battlefield, some of them vomited.
The battlefield was littered with corpses. Some of the people whose hands and feet had been cut off were not fully dead. They were screaming and moaning next to the corpses. The screams made people feel like they were in the Asura Hell. Broken limbs were everywhere, and the smell of blood was breathtaking.
Vomiting. There was blood everywhere, gathering on the mountain road and flowing down the mountain, like a stream.
This was not a battle, the Mini rifle turned the battle into a massacre.
Li Zhi's first battle in this era ended in massacre and he won a complete victory.
