The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 15 Robbing the Warehouse
The movement of more than a hundred people running towards the warehouse together still alarmed the guards in the direction of the warehouse!
There were about 130 miners involved in the incident. Shi Yongxin led a group of people to the supervisor's living area to create a disturbance.

There are more than a hundred people coming to the warehouse!

But there were only three supervisors guarding the warehouse. The three supervisors were terrified when they saw hundreds of miners rushing towards this side with a murderous look.

"my Lord!"

"This group of lowly Chinese pigs dare to resist!"

"My God, warn, warn, don't let them rush over!"

"..."

The three guards responded in a hurry, took out the gunpowder, and loaded the musket.

"quick!"

"Rush! Rush! Rush!"

"Follow me brothers!"

Zhu Hongyu did not hide behind the crowd, but took the lead in rushing ahead of everyone.

Because he knew that the diameter of the lead bullet in a musket is slightly smaller than the caliber of the muzzle, that is to say, when the musket shoots, the lead bullet in the chamber is shot out by spinning and rolling.

There is no accuracy at all!

As long as it is not shot close to the face, the probability of being hit is not much different.

Now there are only three supervisors on the opposite side, and a round of muskets only fires three rounds, and there is no way to form a volley of guns.

Not to mention that there were more than a hundred steps between the two sides, and the supervisor had already opened fire.

Zhu Hongyu didn't believe that he was so unlucky that he happened to be hit by lead bullets.

boom! boom! boom!
The sound of three musket shots sounded one after another, and at the same time as the muzzle of the gun sprayed out flames, thick gunpowder smoke blocked the supervisor's sight.

One of them asked in panic.

"How...how, did you hit it?"

"How many were killed?"

"Are those Chinese pigs still charging?"

The gunpowder smoke blocked their sight, but it couldn't stop their panic.

The sound of killing was getting closer and closer, and the charging Chinese miners were about to overwhelm the three supervisors.

Due to the distance between the two sides, the overseer's musket was basically inaccurate, and the three musketeers fired a volley.

Except for one person who was really unlucky and was hit in the thigh by a lead bullet, the others didn't even scratch the oily skin, and the lead bullet flew to nowhere.

Hearing the gunshots, some Chinese miners subconsciously wanted to retreat.

But Zhu Hongyu is still at the forefront!

His high-pitched roar pointed out the way forward for everyone, showing that he, the clan of the Ming Dynasty, the leader of the rebel army, stood in front of everyone.

Zhu Hongyu won't retreat?

How can they return?

In this era, the leader's role in boosting the morale of an army is obvious.

In the face of the supervisor's musket fire, none of the miners backed down, and everyone moved forward bravely under the inspiration of Zhu Hongyu.

The supervisors looked at the Chinese miners who were getting closer and closer. Before they had time to reload the second round, they turned around in panic and fled.

The three overseers will definitely not be able to stop the rebel army whose number is more than 30 times that of them. Once they are rushed by the rebel army, they will be overwhelmed by the crowd.

The supervisor didn't want to die in vain, so he chose to turn around and run away, going to the living area to meet with other supervisors.

Prepare to wait for everyone to gather, and then use a platoon of guns to quell the chaos and kill all these Chinese pigs who dare to resist.

The three supervisors fled, but Zhu Hongyu didn't order to pursue them, but spoke loudly.

"Regardless of those supervisors, go get the weapons in the warehouse first!"

"Arm us with those weapons!"

More than a hundred miners rushed to the outside of the sixth warehouse. Facing the warehouse guarded by General Tie, they all took out several hemp ropes.

Tie the twine to the warehouse door!

Amidst the sound of the chant, there was a bang, and the warehouse door was pulled open.

Everyone rushed into the warehouse.

There are a lot of muskets, swords and other weapons piled up in the warehouse, as well as several barrels of gunpowder.

"Who can fire a musket?"

Zhu Hongyu picked up a musket, checked it briefly, and asked after confirming that the musket was in good condition.

"I will, I have learned to shoot a musket, and I have hunted with a musket!"

"I will too. My family used to be a military household in the Ming Dynasty. I have practiced the skill of shooting blunderbuss since I was a child..."

A total of eight people came out and said that they knew how to fire a musket, including Hu Dinggao.

Zhu Hongyu counted, there were forty muskets in the warehouse, and he ordered.

"Eight people, five for one person, all are loaded now, there will be no time to reload when we fight later!"

"Select eight more people to come out to help the musketeers pass their guns, and the eight people who can shoot muskets will specialize in shooting."

"The 16-man firearms team is led by Hu Dinggao. Brother Hu must remember to fire in volley. Count three, two, one, and everyone fires together. Don't shoot indiscriminately."

"This musket is inaccurate, only the volley can exert its power!"

"What's more, we have to wait for the enemy to enter thirty feet before attacking!"

Zhu Hongyu spoke quickly and arranged tactics.

Thirty feet, almost 100 meters.

In fact, according to his thinking, the best way to fire a musket salvo is to put the enemy at 20 meters and hit them close to the face.

Just shoot a round of volleys, and then charge with bayonets!

This is the tactic used by the British lobster soldiers in the 89s to rampage the world.

It doesn't sound like much, but such tactics have been tested by history.

At least in the era of front-loading guns, basically no army could stop such tactics.

But there is no way, now he is surrounded by a group of miners who have not received any training.

Zhu Hongyu suspected that even if they fired a volley from a distance of 20 meters, the miners might shoot indiscriminately, let alone a volley fired from [-] meters to the face.

Except for these 16 people, the rest of them all had a sword each, and were ready to fight hand-to-hand after the musketeers finished their volley.

There were quite a few spears in the warehouse, but Zhu Hongyu didn't let the miners take them.

The reason is simple. Western-style spears are too long, and a three- to four-meter-long spear is not an individual weapon at all.

If you want to display its power, you must fight in formation.

Otherwise the spear is a liability!

And if you want a group of untrained miners to fight in formation, save it.

……

On the other side, the supervisors who were sleeping in the living area were awakened by the sudden sound of gunfire.

Michael put on his clothes and went out, asking loudly.

"What the hell happened? Who fired the gun?"

Because of the incident between Yales and Korla, Michael heard gunshots, and never thought that it was the Chinese miners who started the riot.

The supervisors came out of their respective cabins one by one, holding muskets and swords in their hands, and looked around vigilantly.

I have a deep distrust of the people around me!
"Damn, what happened?"

Michael asked again.

But no one answered his question.

At this moment, the three supervisors guarding the warehouse fled back to the living area.

The three of them looked panic-stricken and terrified, and they had already lost the muskets and swords in their hands.

One of them panted and said to Michael.

"Dear Your Excellency Michael, something is wrong!"

"The Chinese pigs in the mine rebelled. They have captured the warehouse area and are about to kill them soon."

Michael's eyes widened, and his pupils shrank violently, because he suddenly thought that there were still a lot of spare weapons in the warehouse.

If those weapons are obtained by the rebel army of Chinese miners, they will be embarrassed!
Now is the time when the mine is at its weakest. There are only more than 30 mixed-race supervisors, while there are hundreds of Chinese miners.
