After shooting, Lin Ziran didn't see his target fall!
The distance of more than three hundred meters was not so easy to hit, but it didn't matter. This time, he was not the only one to shoot, but twenty people started shooting one after another.
The crisp gunshots continued to ring out and the white smoke rose. The Guang'an rebels outside the city didn't take it seriously at first, but soon, the artillery commander in front found that his men were being hit one after another.
Are there any hunters in the field ahead?
Or was he really shot by them from the top of the city?
This is not normal, this is unreasonable!
While he was stunned, Lin Ziran had already led his bandits to fight three or four rounds.
The loading and rate of fire of a mini rifle is no different from that of a smoothbore rifle. The rate of fire is basically maintained at two to three rounds per minute.
Less than two minutes had actually passed since Lin Ziran fired his first shot, but the artillerymen of the Guang'an rebels outside the city had already been hit by five people.
Don't think that these five people are missing. The two artillery groups combined only have about ten people. It can be said that one-third of these five people have been killed.
This casualty rate was so terrifying that the remaining artillerymen involuntarily hid behind the artillery!
When their artillery commander, a corporal officer, was targeted and hit by Lin Ziran, the artillerymen finally couldn't hold on anymore and ran back.
After seeing the enemy's two artillery batteries collapse, even throwing down the artillery and retreating, Lin Ziran on the top of the city finally breathed a sigh of relief!
The continuous shooting just now made him highly concentrated. Although it was only a short two minutes, it made him feel as if he had been here for several hours. After putting down the gun, Lin Ziran turned around and looked around at his men behind him!
At this time, the sun shone on Lin Ziran's body, making it so dazzling that people could not look directly at Lin Ziran.
Luo Mazi immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "In front of the boss, the Guang'an rebels are nothing more than this!"
"The big boss is mighty. When I heard them say how powerful the Guang'an rebels were, I thought they really had three heads and six arms. But in front of the big boss, they are just a bunch of fools!"
"That's right, I've never seen someone so stupid. He just stood there and let us beat him. If it were me, I would have run away long ago!"
"Yes, I think back then, when I saw someone shooting at me, I ran away immediately. Even if they tried their best, they still couldn't catch up with me!"
Listening to what these people said, Lin Ziran didn't take it seriously and didn't criticize them at all for fleeing when they encountered an enemy!
They are bandits. It is normal for them to be unable to defeat the officers and soldiers and run away!
Of course, if one's own side has the upper hand, then they will scream and ignore the officers and soldiers, just like now.
To put it bluntly, they are a group of guys who can only fight with the wind!
Now, they had Mini rifles on hand, which caught the Guang'an rebels off guard and greatly stimulated their self-confidence.
This is a good thing and is very important for subsequent defensive operations.
Lin Ziran was a little out of control at first, but now he has calmed down again. What he needs to consider now is the subsequent deployment of defenses, even if he just fought a wave and killed five Guang'an rebels.
However, the total strength of these Guang'an rebels is at least more than 300, and these people are regular troops. If they launch a direct charge and attack the city, it will be very difficult for them to hold Qingshan Town.
What Lin Ziran hopes now is to suppress the Guang'an rebels outside the city first, so that they will not dare to step forward.
As long as he can survive for a period of time, he will be able to get more modified Mini rifles, and then he will have a chance to defend Qingshan Town and save his life.
Just as Lin Ziran expected, at this time, the Guang'an rebels outside the city clearly felt threatened, an unknown threat!
Their artillery group suffered an almost devastating blow at a distance of more than 300 meters. This kind of thing was beyond their imagination. They didn't know what they would encounter if they continued to move forward.
Among the Guang'an rebels, the leading middle-aged officer looked at the head of Qingshan Town in front, then looked at the two artillery pieces left in front, and frowned!
Although he still couldn't believe it, through the monocular in his hand, he could clearly see that the defenders on the top of the city had directly killed and wounded his own artillery through shooting.
When were muskets able to shoot so far?
If we continue to attack rashly, I am afraid that our troops will suffer heavy casualties before they even reach the city wall.
And more importantly, attacking Qingshan Town is not his mission!
His mission was to lead his cavalry to make a detour and attack the supply line behind the main force of Luo An's army, creating more opportunities for his own army on the frontal battlefield.
When passing through Qingshan Town, I originally thought about taking over Qingshan Town, replenishing food supplies, and making a fortune for my subordinates, but I didn't expect that I would encounter a tough situation here.
Continue to attack Qingshan Town?
The risk is a bit high, and most importantly, even if this Qingshan Town is captured, our own casualties will probably not be small.
His men are all the most elite cavalry, and they cannot be wasted under the walls of such a remote town.
But if you asked him to lead his troops to retreat directly, he would be a little unwilling!
When the Guang'an rebel cavalry outside the city hesitated, Lin Ziran on the top of the city also saw Wang Jinquan!
According to common sense, the guard Wang Jinquan should have appeared on the city gate tower immediately, but Lin Ziran had not seen him at all before.
Not only was Wang Jinquan missing, but also his guarding officers and soldiers were missing. Lin Ziran thought they were hiding at first.
But what he didn't expect was that a fake soldier on the side quietly came forward and whispered in Lin Ziran's ear: "A brother reported that the people guarding the mansion just wanted to change their clothes and escape, but they were killed just a few hundred meters out of the city gate.
The cavalry of the Guang'an rebels came back, and they even killed and wounded several people!"
After listening, Lin Ziran looked at Wang Jinquan and the others and found that something was not right with these people!
They looked quite embarrassed, as if they had been in a fight, and several people were even injured!
When Lin Ziran heard this, he showed a hint of worry. He was not worried about this Wang Zhengzheng, but worried about the Guang'an rebels outside.
Wang Zhenshou was not able to run away, which also meant that his previous judgment was accurate.
Facing the cavalry of the Guang'an rebels, it was impossible to escape in the open terrain nearby. Even if you changed into civilian clothes and tried to escape, it would not be easy.
However, if our side cannot defend Qingshan Town, we will definitely run away when the time comes.
As for the idea of surrendering to the city, Lin Ziran had completely abandoned it ever since those damn Guang'an natives bombarded Lin Ziran.
A dignified time-traveler will never compromise with these Guang'an natives!
