open sea

Chapter 169
Outside Guangcheng under nightfall, small flag arrows exploded into a cloud of gunpowder smoke.

The Japanese pirates who had rushed to the city gate were attacked on the flanks, and they were attacked by weapons they had never seen before in the chaos, which made them panic.Even if two or three small flag arrows can only cause casualties to Japanese pirates in twos and threes when they are out of range, it still scares them.

Away from heavy gunpowder smoke, Chen Mu saw the gathered Japanese pirates running away in all directions, which made their formation even more chaotic. Under the hoarse urging of all the little leaders, the front and rear formations spread out, barely forming a long formation to face the officers and soldiers.

This is beneficial to them, the banner army continued to spread out and advance, and behind Chen Mu, several hundred subordinates led the banner army and left the empty small flag and arrow wooden boxes, and used the gunpowder smoke to obscure the enemy's sight in front of the formation and ran forward for more than ten steps. , Another general banner under each hundred households obeyed the order and moved forward, and continued to order to the subordinate banner army.

"Small flag arrow, let go!"

"Tiger Squat!"

This time the volley was more intensive. Not only did the four hundred households of Chen Mu's department let go of the remaining forty small flags and arrows, Deng Zilong's flag army also crossed the hillside and fired small flags and arrows at the Japanese pirates outside the city gate from the high slope at the same time. The screams of the guns rise and fall one after another within a hundred steps in the middle of the battlefield, dragging out rays of light and bursting gunpowder smoke around or above the Japanese pirates. In the gunpowder smoke, fine projectiles fly around, and screams and wailing in various languages ​​are endless in the Japanese pirate formation. Absolutely.

This is a good time to charge. When the gunpowder has not cleared, it is enough for them to attack in a formation. The Japanese pirates are not enough in combat power or morale to fight hand-to-hand with the prosperous banner army, and they have no choice but to be defeated.

But Chen Mu did not give the order to move forward, and the long formation was set up at a distance of nearly a hundred paces from the enemy army. The banner troops of each hundred households used wooden mallets to nail down the tiger squatting guns before the formation, and the big bamboo tubes were filled with gunpowder and powder. The stone bullets were poured into the barrel of the gun, and the gunpowder smoke covering the front of the Japanese pirates' formation slowly dissipated, revealing their scattered fronts.

"Tiger squatting cannon..." Chen Mu ordered loudly, and the flag bearers with torches beside him immediately came out to wave the flag, and all the banner troops were about to ignite the tiger squatting cannon. Suddenly, Chen Mu cursed and blurted out: "Fuck!"

Almost at the same time as he issued the order, several bright lights burst out from different directions in the Japanese pirate formation, and the stone bullets blasted towards him with a shrieking sound. The next moment, a long card blocking him was instantly pierced, and the stone bullets carried The huge impact was almost wrapped by the body of the Banner Army behind the long card. Chen Mu only felt a chill on his left forearm, and then the arm of the shield hand slammed into his right shoulder hard, almost knocking him down. He turned his head and smashed his helmet A's servant has flown out.

Lined with mail armor and pierced on the outside, the family soldiers who were almost armed to the teeth didn't even have time to scream, their bodies bent into strange shapes and fell a few steps in front of the shield wall of the Hundred Houses Formation behind them, already out of breath.

"Franco cannon!"

At least four Franc cannons blasted at him in the Japanese pirate formation, one flew over everyone's heads and hit nowhere, one smashed into the rear formation and also smashed the shield to death, and one killed Chen Mu in front of him. The shield holder holding the guard, another one... Chen Mu Yuguang saw his command flag fall forward from the side and back, and he paused for a moment before hearing the scream of the flag bearer.

Looking back, the torch fell to the ground, and the young standard-bearer was lifting his shoulder without his right arm and screaming hysterically.

The flag cannot fall!
The flag cannot fall!
The waist knife fell to the ground, but the long pole flag that was tilted down was held tightly. Chen Mu wanted to wave the flag with both hands, but his left hand couldn't use any strength. Only then did he see blood oozing from the iron armguard. There are lead pieces deformed by bird guns embedded in it.

He didn't know pain when he was unconscious, but once he became conscious, it seemed that all the pain sensations came into his brain, making him press half of his body on the flagpole, and almost shouted the interrupted command with all his strength, "Tiger crouching gun— -put!"

Long Junxiong flashed out in front of himself, and he smashed the long shield into the soil hard, and stacked it with the big shield of the servant next to him. When he ran out of the shield wall, his body froze unnaturally, and then he ran two steps to catch up. Chen Mu held the flag in his hand. On the flagpole there was still half of the arm that was left of the previous flag bearer, and the broken bone was dripping with blood.

Behind them, hundreds of households lined up in front of the phalanx roared one after another, and hundreds of stone pellets scattered in the air, hitting the Japanese pirates in pieces, with great momentum.

Picking up the waist knife that was inserted obliquely into the soil, Chen Mu shouted loudly: "Forward! The bird guns go forward and shoot in volley!"

Before the flag fell, the army array did not disperse, the flag army who was suddenly bombarded was still in shock, but the tiger squatting gun salvo had regained its momentum. Under the guidance of the flag, hundreds of households loudly ordered one after another. Lang Jipao was terrified, and his movements were inconsistent when he was ordered, and only [-]% of the hundreds of bird guns could obey the order.

Fortunately, after a while, the enemy did not know whether the Japanese pirates with the Fran machine guns were all wounded by the tiger squatting guns or so. The gunpowder smoke cleared and no shells came again. Walking forward, the blunderbuss sounded like popping beans in front of the formation.

A salvo is more lethal than a random scatter. Chen Mu's volley fired for a while before resting. Deng Zilong, who spread out on the right wing, also shot a volley of bird guns. Deputy Qianhu rushed even closer, and when they all raised their guns, they were almost fifty paces closer to the enemy in a half-encircled formation.

Chen Mubu only hit [-]% of his hits at [-] steps, and Deputy Deng Qianhu could knock down a Japanese with three guns at [-] steps.

Of course, this is not Deng Qianhu's early development of the lobster soldier's slapstick tactics. It is purely a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.

Deng Zilong, who was used to approaching with fast guns, was also taken aback when the officer was bombarded by the Japanese pirates earlier. He hurriedly stabilized the morale of the army, and only after he gave the order to advance did he realize that all the four hundred households under his command had already changed into forty percent bird guns. Only then hastily ordered to stop and shoot when approaching fifty paces.

How many Japanese pirates outside the city can fight against Xiangshan Qianhu?
The number of people who were attacked repeatedly, killed by artillery shells, rockets, and tigers crouched was not many. In fact, it was less than a hundred people, but it was enough to make Japanese pirates with chaotic orders and lax discipline form. The trend of defeat is just that there is too little time left for them, so they will not be defeated directly.

A few Francophones bombarded Chen Mu to regain some of their momentum, but this momentum was immediately dissipated by Chen and Deng's Babu Hundred Banner Army bird volleys, and nearly a hundred people at the front of the battle were released in one round. It's not intuitive enough, but everyone can feel the landing of dozens of torches, and it suddenly becomes chaotic.

Chen Mu had just ordered the blunderbuss to retreat and reload, and the spearman was in front to advance under the cover of the long card, but Deng Zilong's side was like a tiger descending the mountain, and he had already set up a spear array with great momentum to stab the Japanese pirates and break the right wing. up.

Chen Qianhu hurriedly followed behind, calling to the leader of the Shiqi tribe on the far left, and said: "Take the palm thunder and light it...forward, the city gate!"

Just when he was about to use [-] or [-] grenades to blow up a gap under the city gate, he saw a dozen or so steps away, the Japanese pirates who were in a hurry and didn't know whether to flee into the city or out of the city, yelling and killing, followed closely by the big and round waist. Hu Liangpeng, the statue in the temple, held a big knife and led his battalion soldiers with helmets and armor to fight out.

Chen Qianhu made an abrupt turn in the middle of his order, and threw a lit grenade like locusts towards the gate of the city crowded with Japanese pirates.

　　Some friends misunderstood. When I said that the update is unstable, it does not mean that there is no update, but the time is unstable.

　　But today the plot went unexpectedly smoothly!I went out to play all day yesterday, and wrote slowly all night when I came back at night. I still wrote today's two chapters slowly before dawn!

　　At 05:30, it’s really boring to check. If friends find a typo, I’m tired and catch a bug. This chapter tells me, and I wake up to revise.

　　Thank you!
