The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 16 The Battle of the Musket

In case the Chinese miners succeed in an uprising, they can't resist it at all!

The expression on his face changed several times, and he ordered.

"Hurry up!"

"Wake up everyone, wake up!"

"Be sure to kill the group of pigs before they breach the warehouse. There are still a lot of muskets and swords in the warehouse. If they get the muskets and swords, things will be troublesome!"

However, before the supervisors in the living area could do anything, a wooden house suddenly caught fire.

A morning breeze blew and the fire spread rapidly.

The fire was raging, igniting an entire row of wooden houses.

Thick smoke rose into the sky along with the flames, and the slightly dark sky was illuminated by the flames to illuminate most of the sky.

Michael covered his head with one hand and said in great pain.

"my Lord!"

"what on earth is it?"

Michael's eyes were fixed on him, and he fled from the warehouse area in embarrassment to report to the supervisor.

Asked openly.

"Didn't you say that the Chinese pigs went to attack the warehouse?"

"Then who is setting the fire now!"

Amidst the raging fire, there was a faint sound of shouting and killing.

The three supervisors who rushed to report the news showed horror and shook their heads desperately.

"Dear Mr. Michael, we don't know, we really don't know!"

Michael kicked a supervisor to the ground and roared angrily.

"You mixed blood are trash, you should all be damned!"

Michael waved his hand and ordered.

"Gather people quickly and prepare to quell the chaos!"

"Clean up those thieves who set the fire first!"

After Michael gave an order, the overseers lined up in a line infantry formation, and headed towards the fire source with muskets in hand.

Shi Yongxin has a calm personality, and he has no intention of confronting Michael at all.

He led the people, set fire to it, and withdrew towards the warehouse area according to the plan.

Shi Yongxin ran away with people, Michael ordered to chase.

After discovering that the person fled to the warehouse area, he ordered and urged.

"Hurry up!"

"Guys, hurry up, let's get back to the warehouse and kill those damn Chinese pigs."

……

Shi Yongxin led people to run towards the warehouse, just in time to meet Zhu Hongyu and others who walked out of the warehouse.

Zhu Hongyu threw a steel knife in his hand to Shi Yongxin, and said.

"how is the situation?"

Shi Yongxin panted heavily, and answered in a low voice.

"We set a fire over there in the living quarters and it set a lot of houses on fire and caused a bit of a commotion."

"But someone from the warehouse area has reported the news, and the supervisor has not been disturbed by the movement we made, and is now heading this way!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded and said.

"People safe is good!"

"Let the brothers go to get the weapons, and let's kill Hongmao together!"

"Those who know how to shoot a musket take a musket, and those who don't know how to shoot a musket take a sword."

Shi Yong nodded vigorously, and the people he took to set the fire also got their weapons and joined the crowd.

Four more people were added to the musketeer team. Among Shi Yongxin's group, two were able to shoot muskets, and each of them was assigned an auxiliary soldier.

That is to say, now they have ten musketeers, with an average of four muskets per person, capable of firing four rounds of salvo.

……

Zhu Hongyu didn't lead people to set up defenses on the spot, but led people to take the initiative to meet the supervisors who were coming towards the warehouse area.

It wasn't that he entrusted the general to fight the supervisor Lang, but because it was not feasible to stand still.

Because the supervisor will not give him time to build the fortifications, and if he guards the warehouse, since the warehouse is a wooden structure, there are still gunpowder stored in it.

If they stick to the warehouse, the overseer can destroy them with a single fire!

After much deliberation, if you want to break the game, you can only choose the wave battle!

While the miners were a ragtag bunch, the overseers weren't much better off.

They are not specialized soldiers, but the mixed descendants of a group of colonists, not elite.

Coupled with the absolute number advantage of the miners, there is a high probability that they can win!

Thirty supervisors and 30 miners, the two sides are constantly approaching.

Zhu Hongyu walked in the front, constantly shouting slogans to boost morale.

"Kill the red hair, restore Daming!"

"Same life and death, share wealth and honor!"

A hundred and thirty people shouted in unison.

"Kill the red hair, restore Ming Dynasty; live and die together, share wealth and honor!"

"Kill the red hair, restore Ming Dynasty; live and die together, share wealth and honor!"

"Kill the red hair, restore Ming Dynasty; live and die together, share wealth and honor!"

"..."

The shouts resounded through the sky, and the entire mine could hear it clearly.

The supervisors who lined up heard the shouts from afar, and their complexions changed.

Even the other miners who did not riot in the shack area in the distance were attracted by the movement here.

Hearing the orderly shouts of the insurgents, they looked at each other.

Some people are looking for weapons and want to resist together, but some people choose to be a turtle with a shrinking head, shrinking into the shack, planning to come out of sight.

……

The overseers lined up, and the miners' uprising army went head-to-head.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, 300 meters, 200 meters, 150 meters...

"Musketeers ready!"

Zhu Hongyu gave an order to the musketeers in the rebel army, and ten musketeers leveled their muskets with their muzzles pointing forward.

The actions on the supervisor's side were similar, and the thirty supervisors were divided into three rows.

Ten people in a row, the front row squats, the middle row stands, and the last row uses muskets against the back of the front row to prevent the front row from collapsing and leading to defeat.

The muzzle of the black hole is pointing straight ahead!

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

After the two sides approached 100 meters, the supervisor and the rebel army pulled the trigger almost at the same time, and started firing muskets.

boom!Boom!

The sound of musket fire became one.

Lead bullets flew across the battlefield, and people on both sides began to fall to the ground continuously.

It was just the first round of shooting, and two of the musketeers of the rebel army were hit by muskets and fell down.

The supervisor on the opposite side also fell under the gun!
Both sides were shot and survived. The accuracy of the smoothbore guns of this era is so terrible. They are separated by a hundred meters. Even if they shoot in salvo, it is not so easy to cause casualties to the other party.

The battlefield was covered by gunpowder smoke, but the screams sounded one after another.

The screams of wounded soldiers on the battlefield greatly affect morale!
Under the influence of fear, the musketeers of the rebel army have gone from salvo to random shooting.

The pre-loaded muskets crackled into a ball.

The performance of the Spanish overseers was better, although they continued to have casualties, screams, shouts, and prayers to God.

But after all, they did not collapse, and the muskets could barely be regarded as salvos.

But that's all. It is impossible for them to finish loading on the battlefield and fire another round of salvo.

Panicked, they couldn't finish loading at all.

The gunfire between the two sides ended. Eight people from the rebel army were hit by muskets. Two of them died on the spot and six were seriously injured.

The huge casualties shook the rebel army's morale, and some people even turned around and wanted to escape in fear.

Some people fled, the morale of the army became more fluctuating, and the rebel army almost collapsed.

At the critical moment, Zhu Hongyu stepped forward again. He chopped off the rout soldier's head with a single knife, and curbed the collapse trend with killing.

Holding a bloody head, he rushed in front of everyone, shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Those who quit without permission die!"

"If I am defeated in the incident, how can the red hair give me a way to survive?!"

"If you want to live, you have to go forward with me and live to death!"

"Kill the red hair, restore Ming Dynasty, live and die together, and share wealth and honor!"

"Kill! Kill all the red hairs in front of you. Everyone will be the hero of Daming's restoration of the country, and everyone will be a prince!"

Holding a steel knife in his hand, Zhu Hongyu rushed towards the enemy in front of him without hesitation.
