The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Zhou Changshou was the captain of the team. He was wearing a cloth face armor with rivets and iron plates inside. A bow and arrow shot from this distance would not be able to pierce his armor, and the helmet on top of his head could protect his head.

Zhou Changshou gritted his teeth tightly and stared at the fire door where the three-eyed gun in his hand ignited the fire.

The helmet blocked his vision, and he couldn't see the hungry soldiers charging straight in front of him, but the gradually louder footsteps by his ears let him know that the enemy was getting closer and closer to him.

Fear lingered in his heart, but Zhou Changshou didn't dare to light the three-eyed gun in his hand without hearing the sound of the bugle.

Beside Zhou Changshou, a group of musketeers wearing hats lowered their heads, holding up their firearms, clenching their teeth like Zhou Changshou, and they were all waiting for the bugle call.

The veins in many people's hands were bulging because they were holding the gun too tightly, but no one dared to fire the three-eyed gun in their hands.

Military Orders, Gunners, Article [-] - Anyone who fires a gun without an order will be killed immediately!

Hundreds of light arrows drew beautiful parabolas in the air and fell into the formation of the Ming army. Zhou Changshou only felt a pain in his body, and the sound of the arrows being hit could be heard from all directions.

Zhou Changshou's eyes froze slightly, although he knew that such a light arrow would not be able to pierce his armor, but he couldn't control his body's instinctive reaction, and his body was trembling.

Except for the arrows that fell into the formation, there were quite a few arrows that fell in front of the formation.

No matter how unbearable the battalion soldiers are at this time, they will use bursts of tactics. Although they will be flustered when reloading before the battle, they still have the power to fight again.

Chen Wang is very aware of this. He can't do anything about politics and people's livelihood, so all he can do is to treat the symptoms.

Pieces of stone bullets were sprayed into the crowd almost face-to-face, and the front line of the rogue troop that was originally surging was almost cleared.

The distance of twenty steps is more than 30 meters.

For the rogues, it is worthwhile to exchange the lives of dozens of people for the Ming army.

In front of Zhou Changshou was a lot of falling arrows.

And that's what they did.

The madness of the bandits was smashed to pieces after a violent salvo.

Under the fiery red banner, Chen Wang led a group of armored cavalry in the central army, and his heart was not as calm as it seemed.

Feeling the cold touch of the gun barrel in his hand, Zhou Changshou was slightly in a trance.

The sound of gunfire came from in front of him!
Zhou Changshou raised his head and looked forward, just at this moment, several clusters of flames appeared on the loose front of the rogues.

He heard the sound of gunshots, but obviously the bugle did not sound.

……

Even if their three-eyed blunderbuss and bird blunderbuss were shot in disorder, they were not very accurate, and the quality of the firearms was extremely worrying, but no matter what, they were still firearms, and they still possessed great power when they hit people.

Just now, he turned the three-eyed gun in his hand, and fired three guns one after another at the fastest speed in his life.

But the string in his mind will soon no longer need to be tensed.

It's the gunmen of the rogues firing their guns!
Painful wailing came from the side, Zhou Changshou's heart beat wildly, someone was shot...

This burst of arrows is denser and faster than the previous bursts.

The enemy army in front of him was approaching, but the military order to release the guns had not been issued for a long time. Zhou Changshou felt that the string in his mind had stretched to a critical point.

This method, like his other methods, was actually learned from the Qing army.

The smell of gunpowder smoke in the air was reassuring, and the sound of the explosion of the volley also dispelled his fear.

In the blink of an eye, a large number of hungry soldiers in the front line fell down, and blood with a stench splattered on the bodies and faces of the others.

Those veterans and bandits who can use firearms are classified into the sequence of cavalry and elite cavalry. The gunmen among the hungry soldiers of the infantry have not received much training at all. Their training is extremely low. stage of installation.

They have practiced this kind of action countless times in the training ground.

Those infantry soldiers who supervised the battle at the back of the formation could no longer stop the rout of the hungry soldiers, and were even surrounded by the crowd and retreated together.

Their expressions were crazy, they were yelling for something, their weapons were thrown all over the place, no one dared to take a step forward, they fled desperately to the back, desperately going back...

The problem of Pingkou is a political and people's livelihood issue, not a military one.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

The shotguns fired by the tiger squatting cannon sprayed out in a fan shape, even wearing armor and being hit by the tiger squatting cannon at such a close distance, not to mention those hungry soldiers who only had single clothes on their bodies.

But for the rogues, their guns are basically one-time consumables, and it is not bad to be able to put a shot just before the battle.

As long as the elite cavalry army is not lost, they can quickly pull up thousands of hungry soldiers after defeat.

A large number of armored soldiers wearing high-topped helmets, armbands bound with fine iron, and wearing three layers of heavy armor suddenly rushed out of the Ming army's formation, and came to kill the generals...

In front of the more than 400-step army formation, countless flames were connected together, and more than 300 three-eyed guns were fired almost at the same time.

The deafening sound of cannons rolled in all directions like thunder, and large pieces of flying stones rushed out from the cannons squatting in front of the formation.

The crowd tactics of the thieves are indeed frightening. To them, manpower is actually not much different from endless.

The method is very simple, that is to completely hurt the enemy in a battle, so that everyone in the enemy will suffer from phobia towards them.

Now most of the progress of the matter is not very different from his original plan, except for Hu Zhiyi's crazy decision to order the firing of the guns when the distance between the two armies is only about twenty steps away.

"Bang! Bang! Bang bang bang!!!"

Zhou Changshou trembled all over, and holding the fire fold, he almost ignited the three-eyed fire door in his hand, but he still stabilized his figure at the last moment.

Two rows of more than 700 three-eye guns, plus more than [-] tiger squatting cannons and [-] Francophones interweave a firepower net that can tear apart all flesh and blood.

Just like the Ming army was defeated in successive battles against the Qing army, and when they faced the Qing army later, they were already seven points timid before fighting.

Most of the rogues were ordinary poor peasants who didn't know how to use firearms.

The lead bullets were easily shot into the torsos of the hungry soldiers rushing forward, and then continuously deformed and disintegrated in their bodies, forming a cavity effect. It was shot out by strands of blood arrows.

In the formation of the Ming army came the sound of a large number of dense footsteps. The fiery red banners were frightening, and the crimson armors were shocking. The Ming army formation was like waves splitting towards the two Side split away.

Zhou Changshou didn't dare to turn his head to check the situation beside him, the military order - the army formation is established, whoever moves his foot and turns his head, will be cut immediately!

Zhou Changshou wasn't injured by the arrow, but that didn't mean the others weren't injured.

The fear of death completely overwhelmed everything, and those hungry soldiers who survived by chance almost completely lost their minds.

The deafening volley of guns rang out again.

The plan and strategy were settled by Chen Wang, and he pretended to send out a battalion to help the Hanzhong Guards, attracting bandits to attack.

Accompanied by the explosion, thick white smoke was emitted, and countless lead bullets flew out, and in an instant, they had already shot twenty steps away.

Even the unbearable guards can finish reloading when the army formation is stable.

Huge casualties and fear of artillery made the morale of the rogues drop to the bottom in an instant.

The rapid drumbeat sounded suddenly, and the gazes of the bandits and hungry soldiers who had no time to escape all cast their eyes on the formation of the Ming army involuntarily.

The arrows did not penetrate deeply into the flesh, and did not cause any fatal injuries. Most of the people who were hit by the arrows still maintained their figures.

"Bang! Bang! Bang bang bang!!!"

Zhou Changshou raised his head subconsciously and looked in the direction of the Chinese army. The fiery red banner was still fluttering in the wind.

The loud sound pierced Zhou Changshou's eardrums, and the gunpowder smoke instantly blocked everyone's vision.

Zhou Changshou opened his eyes wide, and he could clearly hear his own heartbeat.

wrong……

The armor of quite a few gunmen was shot through, but those who were directly shot down to the ground were a minority, and more people were indeed still standing in place.

Hu Zhiyi raised his hand fiercely, and the golden hand standing beside him blew the trumpet vigorously, and the sharp swan sound suddenly spread throughout the entire formation.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Although most of the musketeers in the front line were wearing cotton armor, although the cotton armor also had better protection against arrows, its protection was ultimately worse than iron armor.

The arrows did shoot through their armor, but the kinetic energy carried by the arrows was also exhausted.

The swan sound sounded again, and Zhou Changshou subconsciously stood up, turned around with the three-eyed blunderbuss in his hand, and retreated, while the blunderbuss soldiers in the second row had already squatted down.

When the rogues attacked aggressively, they used three-eyed blunderbuss, tiger squatting guns, and Francophones to directly destroy the morale of the attacking rogues, and the final finishing touches were handed over to the heavy infantry left in the army.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!!"

The white mist blocked everyone's vision, and it also made Zhou Changshou calm down slowly.

What is the concept of a distance of more than 30 meters? The speed of a normal adult running 100 meters is about 13 to 15 seconds. The time required for the enemy to charge is only a short four or five seconds.

In the era of queuing and shooting, only the army under Napoleon's command and the British army could reach a distance of nearly [-] paces and still stabilize the array, and only fired when the military order was issued.

Of course, the two cannot be equated. After all, there was not much difference in military armament among European countries during Napoleon's period, and they often fought each other.

Their opponents were rogues with poor quality and extremely poor military equipment. Because of successive victories, they had a great psychological advantage.

Months of continuous training, as well as a huge psychological advantage, made them face the threat of death, but they were able to wait until the bugle sounded before firing their guns.
