The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 45 Fighting with guns!
Kayal couldn't help frowning as he looked at the abnormally tight formation of the Liberation Army.

"What's the matter? These Chinese pigs have formed such a tight formation, aren't they afraid of igniting the fire ropes of their comrades?"

Kayal doesn't understand!

In fact, in this era, not only did the Ming Dynasty have flintlock guns, but the West also had them.

However, due to cost issues, even in Europe, no army has been equipped with flintlock guns in large quantities.

Delicate flintlock guns are basically toys in the hands of noble lords!
Even if a grassroots officer like Kayal had heard of the flintlock, he couldn't connect the excessively tight formation of the Liberation Army with the flintlock for a while.

Facing the tight formation of the Liberation Army, Kayal was full of doubts.

However, just when he was in doubt, the front rows of the two sides had already fought.

After the two sides approached [-] meters, the Spanish musketeers opened fire first.

Snapped!
clap clap!

clap clap clap!
There were bursts of neat volleys of gunfire, and the Spaniards finished the first round of three-row salvo in the blink of an eye.

One after another, lead bullets were shot towards the recovery army as if they didn't need money.

But because the distance between the two sides was too far, the Spaniard's three-row salvo only hit four Liberation Army soldiers!
Among the four unlucky ones, one was hit in the head by a lead bullet and died on the spot.

But the remaining three people did not die!

One person was hit in the arm by a lead bullet, and under the action of powerful kinetic energy, the person's arm was broken in two.

Blood and broken bones and flesh are sprayed everywhere!

The remaining two were hit and driven away!

It stands to reason that there is almost no chance of surviving being hit in the chest by lead bullets.

But the result was beyond everyone's expectations!
The lead bullets were inlaid on the steel breastplate, and the projectiles were twisted and deformed. Under the terrifying shock force, the faces of the two recovery soldiers turned pale.

However, apart from two clusters of bruises on their chests, they had no injuries!

The two were still holding their muskets, staring ahead, striding forward!
Zhu Hongyu ordered.

"Hold on, get closer to fifty steps and then fire!"

"Take the wounded to the rear for treatment!"

Under Zhu Hongyu's pressure, the Liberation Army finally did not open fire ahead of time like last time.

The soldiers of the Liberation Army continued to move forward.

The breastplates of the wounded and the dead were taken off, and the two wearing the breastplates pushed to the front of the formation.

"The cloud follows the dragon, the wind follows the tiger, fame and fortune, dust and soil!"

"Looking at Shenzhou, the people are suffering, and thousands of miles of fertile land are barren!"

"Look at the world, make all the hustlers, and make up for the incompleteness of heaven!"

"Good man, don't be parents, just for the common people, not for the sake of the Lord!"

"..."

Zhu Hongyu took the lead in singing the military song. The loud and rough singing voice and the power of rhyme in the lyrics dispelled the fear in everyone's hearts.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

In addition to some people singing military songs, there are more people shouting to kill.

Snapped!
clap clap!

clap clap clap!
After the Spaniard finished loading, he fired a second round of salvo.

The distance between the two sides was less than 70 meters. The Spaniards fired three rows in the second round, causing seven casualties to the Liberation Army.

At this distance, the breastplate is already quite reluctant to resist the Spanish heavy muskets.

Although the lead bullets still failed to penetrate the armor, the terrifying kinetic energy pushed people to the ground.

There was a very obvious dent on the steel plate armor!

The person who was shot was lying on the ground, wailing waves, and his ribs were probably broken.

The second salvo of the Spaniards caused three deaths and four injuries to the Liberation Army.

The Liberation Army continued to move forward, and everyone clenched their muskets tightly!
Just when the distance between the two sides reached 50 meters, the Spaniard's third salvo loading had not yet been completed.

Zhu Hongyu waved his hand and ordered.

"Fire!"

Snapped!
clap clap!

clap clap clap!
A dense puff of gunpowder smoke rose in front of the recovery army, and the gun barrels spewed out flames.

In just an instant, more than a dozen people were shot and fell to the ground on the Spaniard's side.

Especially the part of the Spaniards that the ten fusiliers of the Restoration Army were facing.

Due to the dense formation of fusiliers in the Restoration Army, the firepower density is naturally much higher than that of matchlock guns.

After a round of salvo, six or seven of the Spaniards who were directly facing fell down.

In the era of front-loading muskets, this hit rate is extremely amazing!
The Spaniards who were hit by lead bullets did not have a breastplate as a defense. As long as they were hit in the torso, there was no possibility of survival.

The kinetic energy carried by lead bullets will tear their skin, muscles, and smash their internal organs!
Take their lives!
The Spaniard's counterattack also started instantly, but the Spaniard on the opposite side was stunned by the sudden critical blow and suffered heavy casualties.

The Spaniard's third round of volley became no longer neat, but sparse!

After their third round of volley, they only caused six casualties to the Liberation Army, which was not as great as the second salvo at a distance of 70 meters.

A moment later, the second three-platoon salvo of the Liberation Army was reloaded.

Amidst crackling gunshots, this time the Spaniards fell down to 20 people.

The two sides are separated by 50 meters and reload!
The Liberation Army has custom-loaded cardboard bullets, and the loading speed is much faster than the Spaniards on the opposite side.

The third salvo of the Liberation Army and the fourth salvo of the Spaniards sounded almost simultaneously.

Amidst bursts of crackling gunshots, human life became the most worthless thing.

People kept falling to the ground amidst wailing and screaming!

Kayal looked at the battlefield filled with gunpowder, heard the neat row of guns in his ears, and then looked at his own soldiers who kept falling to the ground, and ordered.

"retreat!"

"Pretend to be defeated and lure the enemy to go deep!"

Kayal originally had such an idea.

Prepare to feign defeat and play a game to lure the enemy to go deep and wipe out the main force of the recovery army.

But now it seems that he doesn't need to pretend to be defeated, he is afraid that he is really going to lose!
With Kayal's order, the Spaniards began to retreat, but they suffered heavy casualties from the shooting. In just an instant, the retreat turned into a rout.

The Spanish routs all over the mountains and plains ran without armor and armor!

The noble and proud Spaniard was also in the same embarrassment when he turned and ran away!

……

Zhu Hongyu looked at the Spaniard's retreat without any joy on his face.

Because he already knew that the Spaniards had ambushes!

But in order for the Spaniard to be fooled, he had to continue the play with the Spaniard.

"Send the order, the medical team stepped forward to treat the wounded!"

"The rest organize their formation, load their muskets, and prepare to chase the enemy!"

"Suppress the speed for me, don't rush in, the enemy has ambushes!"

Following Zhu Hongyu's order, the soldiers of the Restoration Army began to move forward, and the array, which had become sparse under the musket fire, regained its order.

Kayal sneered when he saw that the Liberation Army was gradually getting into the trap.

"Master Yada, I can avenge you right away!"

Kayal gave an order!
There was a cannon sound on the battlefield, a puff of gunpowder smoke rose from behind the Spaniard array, and a shell was fired at the Liberation Army.

Fist-sized iron bullets rolled and twirled in the air, falling towards the formation of the Liberation Army.

Fortunately, this shell failed to hit the recovery army's array, passed over the recovery army's array, and fell into the dense forest.

The shells knocked down several big trees, and the leaves and pieces of wood splashed!
