Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 391
"Stupid, do you think you can go back to Ami Prefecture?" Sha Dingzhou cursed, "Do you think the Guangxi wolf soldiers will stop after they take down Mengzi Prefecture and stop attacking Ami Prefecture?"

"Husband? How dare you scold me." Wan Shi looked at Sha Dingzhou in a state of bewilderment.

"What's wrong with scolding you? If you talk nonsense to disturb the morale of the army, believe it or not, I will kill you? You stupid woman, poisonous woman and jealous woman, I have tolerated you for a long time! You better be smarter and more sensible!" After a painful meal for Wanshi, Sha Dingzhou called Li Rifang again, "Li Rifang, do I treat you well?"

"What's the name of the General Mansion?" Li Rifang said anxiously, "You treat me, and our Li family's kindness is as heavy as a mountain. Even if I, Li Rifang, risk my life, I will not be able to repay your kindness to the General Mansion."

"Okay, then now is the time for you to repay me." Sha Dingzhou said in a deep voice.

"The Ming army's Hongyi cannons are indeed sharp, but they also made a fatal mistake. They shouldn't have pushed the Hongyi cannons so close to the city gate. This gave us a chance."

Li Rifang said: "General Mansion, you mean to go out of the city to make a surprise attack?"

"Yes, go out of the city to make a surprise attack." Sha Dingzhou said, "Blow up the Hongyi cannon!"

"Yes, don't worry, the general government!" Li Rifang said, "The general will definitely blow up the Hongyi cannon!"

After finishing speaking, Li Rifang began to gather [-] elite soldiers under his command to go out of the city to surprise the Ming army. These [-] soldiers were the direct descendants of Shadingzhou's descendants, with the best equipment and the best treatment.

……

However, the Ming army had already prepared for it.

At the sound of the horn, a total of ten new troops with a total of 2700 appeared behind the artillery positions.

As a result, just as the new army stood in line, the east gate of Pingyi City suddenly opened, and groups of Yunnan native soldiers in armor screamed and rushed out from the city gate.

Almost at the same time, hundreds of ropes also hung down from the city wall.

Immediately, thousands of rebels stepped down the wall along the zipline. These rebels were probably used to climbing mountains and ridges, holding hemp ropes with both hands and stepping down the city wall, almost as if they were walking on flat ground.

In a short time, at least [-] rebels had already rushed out of the city.

After leaving the city, it was too late to regroup, so they rushed towards the artillery positions of the Ming army.

"God, these savages." Qu Shawei cursed and stopped the shelling quickly.

The 2700 new troops lined up behind immediately stepped forward amidst the sound of war drums, and quickly formed a line array of three rows in front and back before arriving at the artillery position.

As soon as the battle was formed, the rebels had already covered up the mountains and plains.

Five hundred paces away, the fast-moving rebels didn't even take three minutes.

In the blink of an eye, the rebels were within eighty paces.

……

Sha Dingzhou has high hopes for this counterattack.

Because the three thousand native soldiers he handed over to Li Rifang were the elite of Ami Prefecture and Mengzi, all equipped with iron armor, iron bowl helmet, rattan plate and a seedling knife!

This level of equipment is absolutely top-notch in Yunnan.

Except for Mu Tianbo, the de facto king of Yunnan, who could provide better equipment for his servants, the other chieftains of Yunnan could not afford to equip such an army at all.

Most of the chieftains in Yunnan can only produce red vines.

Sha Dingzhou only equipped the three thousand elite with iron armor.

The remaining soldiers can only be equipped with red rattan armor, red rattan helmet and red rattan plate.

So Sha Dingzhou really went all out this time, and even took out the most elite three thousand soldiers.

It was also because the three thousand elite soldiers were well equipped that Sha Dingzhou placed high hopes on this raid.

After Li Rifang led [-] elite soldiers to launch a surprise attack on the Ming army, Sha Dingzhou also bravely returned to the top of the city, mainly because he wanted to witness the process of Li Rifang destroying the Hongyi cannon with his own eyes.

Sha Dingzhou couldn't help being overjoyed to see that the Ming army musketeers in front of the Hongyi cannon were only wearing cloth face armor.

The general of the Ming army on the opposite side was so stupid that he only sent two or three thousand musketeers to protect the artillery battalion, and these musketeers were divided into three rows at the front and back. Isn't this courting death?

Whether it is a Lumi gun or a bird gun, loading can be troublesome.

Generally speaking, there must be six rows in front and back to ensure uninterrupted shooting.

It's just three rows. What should I do after finishing the three rows?Taking advantage of the brief moment when the firepower was interrupted, the three thousand elite soldiers from Ami Prefecture and Mengzi had already rushed to the front.

Sha Dingzhou couldn't wait to see the tragic scene of the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers being hacked to pieces.

At this time, Tang Jiabin, who was squatting next to Sha Dingzhou, suddenly whispered: "It's strange, why are these Ming army musketeers so densely formed? Are they not afraid of going off fire?"

"Huh?" Sha Dingzhou looked closely, only to find that the Ming army's musketeers were really standing closely together.

I saw that these Ming army musketeers were almost close together and had to stand sideways so as not to affect their companions on the left and right sides. What is the situation?
Sha Dingzhou suddenly felt uneasy.

At this time, three thousand elite soldiers had approached within thirty steps of the Ming army.

It was also at this time that Sha Dingzhou suddenly realized that these Ming army musketeers were extremely weird, completely different from the Ming army musketeers they had seen before. The musketeer could hold his breath even more. It was already thirty paces and he still hadn't fired.

……

Standing in the first row, Xu Wuniu looked up and could already clearly see the face of the rebel, who was painted with colorful patterns on his face, and kept uttering weird screams , seeming to intimidate them.

However, Xu Wuniu's heart is not disturbed. Having experienced the battles with Dabie Mountain bandits and Yongshun native soldiers, Xu Wuniu has grown into a veteran. , Calmness or calmness is really crucial, the calmer you are, the greater the chance of surviving.

"First row, raise your gun and aim!" Xu Yingwei, standing sideways in front of the team, shouted while raising his short gun.

The battlefield was so noisy that Xu Wuniu couldn't hear Xu Yingwei's shouts at all, but he could see that Xu Yingwei had raised his short gun, so he also raised his flintlock and aimed at the rebels ahead.

"Let go!" Xu Yingwei roared and pulled the trigger forcefully, the anvil of the short blunderbuss immediately wiped out a string of sparks, and then there was a bang, thirty steps ahead, a rebel fell to the ground on his back.

Xu Wuniu followed suit and pulled the trigger forcefully. The gunshot rang out, and the rebel army he aimed at fell to the ground.

Another person was killed, but Xu Wuniu's heart was calm. He put away the flintlock and retreated to the rear line. Then he skillfully picked out the paper shell bullet from the bullet bag, bit off the end and primed it first. Pour a little gunpowder into the chamber, and finally stuff the remaining half of the can of gunpowder together with the paper shell from the muzzle, and press it to the bottom of the gun chamber with a cleaning rod.

Then load the lead bullet, press it to the bottom with a cleaning rod, and then pull the trigger forcefully.

The entire loading process was like flowing clouds and water, and it took only a few seconds. At this time, the third row of musketeers had just moved forward and hadn't finished shooting.

Then there was another bang bang bang.

"The first team, keep improving!" Xu Yingwei once again raised his right hand high.

Xu Wuniu held the flintlock with both hands, and turned sideways to let the third team, which was retreating, step forward to stand in the front row, and then pressed down the muzzle of the flintlock, aiming at a rebel in front.

At this time, the rebels had already approached within twenty paces.

Xu Wuniu could even clearly see the fierceness in that rebel's eyes.

In the past, Xu Wuniu might have mood swings even after experiencing the bandit suppression in the Dabie Mountains, because the rebel's eyes were really scary, and his strange cry was too ear-piercing.

But at this moment, Xu Wuniu's heart was not disturbed at all, like a wooden man.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xu Yingwei drop his right hand, and Xu Wuniu decisively pulled the trigger.

"Boom!" The flintlock pistol on his right chest shook violently, hitting Xu Wuniu's right chest with a faint pain.

Looking forward again, I saw that there was already a hole in the chest of the rebel, but the simple armor strung together with thin iron sheets could not stop the close-range direct fire of the flintlock.

The body of the rebel suddenly leaned back, and then slowly fell to the ground.

There was no blood spilling out, it is estimated that the wound was wrapped by clothes.

But the eyes of the rebels had become hollow, and they were no longer full of fierceness like before.

Killed another person, but Xu Wuniu still didn't feel the slightest disturbance in his heart, as if he just killed a mosquito just now, raised the flintlock after firing the gun, and retreated to the back row to start reloading again .

……

On top of Pingyi Acropolis, Sha Dingzhou was stunned.

I saw the three thousand elite soldiers from Ami Prefecture and Mengzi rushing forward one by one, and another row fell under the guns of the Ming army. Army guns.

The distance between the two armies is obviously only thirty steps, but our elite soldiers just can't get through.

Occasionally, a few particularly brave elite soldiers rushed within ten steps, but before these elite soldiers could swing their knives, the Ming army musketeers in the back row suddenly threw out a black, unknown object.

Then with a bang, these elite soldiers were also blown to the ground.

Seeing this, Sha Dingzhou was stunned, how could this be possible?how can that be?

How could the reloading speed of the musketeers of the Ming army be so fast?Only three rows of bursts can continue continuously?This reloading speed is more than twice as fast as the bird gun and Lumi gun?
Also, why can the Ming army musketeers get so close?

Why could the Ming army musketeers form such a dense rain of bullets?

And what is the explosive thrown by the Ming army in the back row?Why haven't you seen it?
In addition to doubts, Sha Dingzhou was so distressed that he was about to suffocate. These three thousand elites were his housekeepers, but in the moment just now, almost half of them had been buried, and most of the remaining half would not come back.

Thinking of this, Sha Dingzhou's eyes became even darker, and this time he suffered a big loss.

But even if you lose all your money, you can't withdraw your troops. You must kill the Hongyi cannons of the Ming army.
