Wanli 1592

Chapter 361 The Death of Luochai

The attire of officers and soldiers is different. In ancient times, there were no epaulets, and only clothing was used to indicate status. This gave the enemy a good target. The enemy can quickly find the corresponding target and shoot accurately, especially After the invention of firearms, within a certain distance, this kind of shooting is more effective.

A Spanish musketeer serving for Narishon held a flintlock musket in his hand, crouched on a branch of a big tree, and managed to escape a round of intensive shooting with the help of leaves and branches. It's quite a cheat, he can't even believe that he can dodge such a shooting, but since he has dodged, he won't say anything, thank the Lord for His blessing.

The gun in his hand is not an ordinary gun, not something like an arquebus, nor is it an ordinary flintlock gun. He didn't know how the thing was made. It is said that some craftsmen in his hometown used special tools to grind it out bit by bit. It took a lot of time and energy, so this kind of gun is very expensive, and there are not many people in the army. use.

Things that cannot be mass-produced are waste in the eyes of those generals, so let alone rifled guns, flintlock guns are now also in the category of waste, although the loading and firing of flintlock guns is more convenient than matchlock guns.

The person who gave him this gun said that this gun can accurately kill a person he is aiming at at a relatively long distance. For this reason, this gun also has a so-called rear sight and front sight. After actual testing, the shooter has already confirmed that this thing is very effective. He hit a target he wanted to hit very accurately during the experiment.

I have to say that the accuracy of this gun is really high, but the only unpleasant thing is that it is very troublesome to load ammunition. A gun without rifling can be fired by loading the bullets in and flicking it twice. This kind of gun takes a lot of money. It takes a lot of strength to load the bullets. Basically, after one shot, there is no chance to fire a second shot, unless someone helps to load the ammunition in advance.

He has no one to help him load the ammunition now, he is alone, with one gun, one firing opportunity, whether he can grasp it depends on himself, anyway, he hasn't found the target he wants to kill, if he can't kill one There is enough weight to throw the Burmese below into chaos, and the chances of him trying to escape by taking advantage of the chaos are very small.

He didn't want to die in this foreign country. He came here for gold and silver. Before he made enough money, he wouldn't die casually.

His sharp eyes scanned the Burmese army slowly passing by below, as well as those Burmese officers who were obviously low-level officers. ……oh!Saw a big fish!Dressed in neat armor and a military helmet, and there are many people guarding him, this is at least a mid-level officer, right?Waiting any longer may not be able to wait for the person who needs to wait, so the most important thing is to make a quick decision, kill this guy, and then take advantage of the chaos to escape.

He raised his gun and aimed at that person with the crosshairs. The distance is relatively far and there are many people protecting him. There is no guarantee that he can aim at the head, but at least it is necessary to hit the vital parts of the body. Attacking the head is a must. You will definitely die, but you may not die if you hit other places. What's more, if poisonous things like lead bullets hit the human body, if you don't die, you will have to amputate your limbs.

Aim, aim, aim.

Come closer, come closer, come closer!
It's now!

As an experienced musketeer, he saw the most suitable moment, pulled the trigger, and struck the hammer, across the fire, causing a burst of sparks, which ignited the priming powder on the fire door, directly triggering the explosion of the gunpowder. Burning, the violent combustion of the gunpowder brought a huge explosive driving force, and this driving force directly pushed the bullet out of the barrel, spirally rotating, piercing the air, and rushing towards the man who was shot by him. The fancy Burmese mid-level officer.

With the sound of piercing through the air, the bullet rushed towards the "Burmese mid-level officer" at an undeniable speed, passing through the soldiers protecting him inconceivably. When he was yelling some incomprehensible words, he was shot through his head by a bullet. Under the staring eyes of the guards around him, his body swayed twice like a pendulum. He fell to the ground and lost his vitality.

At this time, these Spanish musketeers didn't know that his gun, which could only be fired once, just hit Luochai. After seeing the Burmese army in chaos below, he tried a way to leave here, moved to the depths of the dense forest, and ran away. While running, he found many Siamese soldiers and even his musketeer companions running in the opposite direction, with a very excited look on their faces. He grabbed a companion and asked why.

"Haven't you heard? Those savages escaped! It seems that their general was killed, so they escaped! Go after them immediately! If we can kill a few people, we can get a lot of rewards!"

His companion reminded him kindly.

He didn't care, and his heart was full of joy, so he followed to chase.

When Min Qide saw the corpses of his trusted generals in front of him, he was unusually calm. His calmness was almost abnormal, which made the people around him very worried. After losing a general in the previous night attack, he now lost another No. 2 General, before the official decisive battle with Narexuan, he lost two outstanding generals in a row, one of whom was his childhood friend. This must have dealt a heavy blow to Min Qide.

But unlike before when he vomited blood when he was angry, Min Qide seemed very calm this time. He just waved his hand and asked the guards around him to take Luochai's body down and burn it. The ashes were packed, and then he ordered the 77 Luochai survivors to be brought back. The personal guards killed and buried Luochai together. After that, they ordered all the [-] artillery pieces that can be mobilized to be pushed to the front line, and at the same time ordered the elephant troops to prepare for the attack.

Now, the dense forest must be full of arrogant Siamese, it must be like this, so, as long as the artillery bombardment is used, regardless of the cost of the bombardment, they will definitely be able to drive them out of the dense forest, and then...

It's not that Min Qide is not angry, but that he is too angry. You can't tell that he is very angry. He is already dominated by anger. He no longer uses his own force cautiously, but wants to destroy it quickly in a more crazy way. Narisuan, and then fought to the death with the Ming army.

The 77 artillery pieces are divided into two rows, arranged on the opposite side of the dense forest, and the muzzles of the black holes are aimed at the dense forest.

The Spanish artillery captain raised the red flag in his hand, and then swung it down.

"fire!!!"
