I'm a big dick

Chapter 422 Fierce Battle

The roar of the muskets was deafening, and the flintlocks showed an astonishing rate of fire after firing round after round.

Azig frowned, this was beyond his expectation, it was not like this before.

Of course he didn't know that a flintlock gun plus a bayonet could not satisfy the emperor. The introduction of fixed-loaded paper-cased ammunition was the ultimate state of the front-loading flintlock gun.

Custom-loaded paper case ammunition is not a high-tech invention, and matchlock guns can also be used.

The specific method is to put a certain amount of gunpowder and projectiles into a waterproof paper cartridge, bite the paper tube open with your teeth when filling, pour part of the gunpowder inside into the fire pool, and then put the remaining gunpowder and projectiles in a general-purpose cartridge. Just stuff it into the barrel.

Using fixed paper shells, well-trained musketeers can achieve two to three rounds per minute, or even a higher rate of fire.

The fast rate of fire means that musketeers can shoot more dense rain of bullets in the same time, greatly increasing the lethality to the enemy.

Moreover, the fixed paper shell bullet mainly simplifies the loading steps, and there is no fundamental change.Fusiliers don't need much training time to get used to it.

Arrows flew in the air, bullets shot in the air, and the firepower contest within a hundred meters became the beginning of the confrontation between the two sides.In terms of lethality, the Ming army clearly has the advantage.

A louder roar sounded, and the reloaded heavy musket roared.

The heavy musketeers had withdrawn to the back of the formation, standing on the dilapidated foundation of the fortress, taking advantage of the range, and fired condescendingly at Jiannu.

Blood and flesh splattered, and blood mist flew up. Jiannu's attacking team fell down a piece of bloody corpses, as well as stumps and broken arms.

A group of black cannonballs passed over the head of the queue and smashed towards Jiannu.

A moment later, one after another explosions erupted among the Jiannu crowd, clouds of black smoke rose, shrapnel shot out, and screams and wailing rang out.

The distance between the enemy and us was already very close, and just as the sound of the explosion stopped, the two rows of fusiliers finished firing bullets, shouted amidst the sharp whistle, and charged back with their bayonets while the momentum of the enemy's impact weakened.

The attacking Jiannu were attacked one after another, the team became chaotic, and the number of people became sparser.Before the gunpowder smoke dissipated, the Ming army with bayonets had already approached, fighting more and more in hand-to-hand combat.

Puff, puff, puff... The soldiers of the Ming army stabbed fiercely with their bayonets, making the sound of the bayonet piercing into the flesh.

Block, stab!The bayonet technique of the Ming army is very simple, abandoning all fancy movements, clean and tidy, full of vigor.

Captain Sobodo's forehead was scratched by shrapnel, and hot blood continued to flow down, which blocked his vision and made him look a little red.

Raising his arm to wipe his face, Sobodo felt much clearer.But that wasn't enough, his calf was also injured and his movement was greatly affected.

The explosion was not far from his feet, and he only suffered two non-fatal injuries. Sobodo was actually quite lucky.

In the gray and choking gunpowder smoke, he saw the soldiers of the Ming army rushing towards them, watching them fiercely unleash their bayonets and assassinate the Jurchen soldiers mercilessly.

Wielding his saber vigorously, Sobodo stepped forward with a roar, and knocked down a Ming soldier before the bayonet stabbed him.

Another bayonet was poked from the left, and Sobodo used the knife to parry, and instinctively made a movement of turning around and chopping, but the severe pain in his leg deformed his movement and slowed down.

boom!A shot was fired very close, white smoke rose, Sobodo staggered, and the buckshot hit his chest.Even with heavy armor, he was spitting blood from the huge impact.

puff!A bayonet stabbed sharply into his stomach; poof!Another bayonet stabbed obliquely into his left rib.

As the bayonet was pulled out, blood spurted out, Sobodo fell to the ground slumped, his strength was quickly drained, he stared wide-eyed, watching a few pairs of big feet pass by him, unable to even lift his hands.

Coward, despicable... Sobodo doesn't know which Ming soldier shot him.Otherwise, even if he is injured, he can still play several times.

Thoughts were rapidly becoming chaotic and dissipating. Sobodo, a slave-building officer who had experienced many battles and had accumulated meritorious service from a small soldier to a riding captain, finally swallowed his last breath of unwillingness.

The grenadier was throwing thunderbolts rapidly, causing a fault in the middle of the Jiannu attacking team.

The counter-charging Ming army killed and wounded the Jiannu who rushed forward, stopped their feet amidst the sound of gongs, and retreated quickly.

The close distance between the enemy and us was opened again. At about 40 meters, the Ming army once again adopted rounds of musket fire, and mercilessly fired rounds of bullets at the enemy.

The corpses are scattered all over the place, and the pillows are in a mess. Some are slaves, and some are from the Ming army who died in the counterattack.No matter which side it is from, it will become an obstacle for the Jiannu attacking behind, making it impossible for them to charge smoothly.

boom!Heavy muskets roared again from high places, and the indestructible heavy lead bullets caused casualties in Jiannu, as if the neat wheat fields were suddenly blown down by the wind.

The flintlock guns also fired in turn, striking Jiannu violently.

After a fierce counterattack, the battle situation between the two sides returned to the original situation.If Jiannu wanted to get close to hand-to-hand combat, he had to risk dense lead bullets to shoot.In long-range contests, the lethality of bows and arrows is not as good as that of muskets, and the casualties are disproportionate.

Azig observed the battle, frowning more and more tightly.

Although the Ming army was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, the defense after shrinking was very tenacious, and the rate of fire and power of the muskets also caused heavy casualties to the Houjin soldiers.

Only by entering the Ming army and starting a scuffle, the Hou Jin army can not only give full play to the advantages of close combat and melee combat, but also give full play to the advantages of military strength.But now, the actual situation of the battle is not what Azig expected.

Do you want the whole army to press up, without any feint, and attack from all sides?
Azig hesitated a little, but before he could make a decision, there was a booming cannon sound in the distance, which sounded like thunder from the sky.

It was Zhuo Na and Da Mubu's troops who started the battle with the Ming army. The strength of the army is equal. It should be no problem to block the enemy, right?

It was a confident arrangement at first, but Azig became a little worried when he heard the uninterrupted rumble of cannons.

In fact, Azig's worry is really correct.Zuoling Zhuo Na and Bei Yu Da Mubu led 3000 troops, and they are undergoing a fierce attack, and the situation is quite unfavorable.

The three thousand Ming army carried a large number of vehicles and luggage, pretending to be the rear team to escort supplies, just an appearance to deceive Jiannu.

The two thousand forwards of the Ming army carried heavy muskets almost from the whole association, while the three thousand adjourned Ming army carried artillery from the whole association, as well as the artillery deployed by Mao Wenlong to strengthen them.

The intentional distance between the two armies was also an arrangement to lure Jiannu into battle.

For the Jiannu who came to intercept along the main road, the Ming army launched a fierce attack with vehicles and artillery first, followed by muskets, and supplemented by a large number of artillery.

The menacing Jiannu was hit head-on, which surprised Zuolingzhuo Na and Beiyu Damubu very much.

The strength of the two sides is equal. In front of the brave warriors of Jianzhou, shouldn't it be the Ming army who hastily defended?
Boom, boom, boom... Dozens of shells hit the head and face, stretching for nearly a hundred meters, blowing up the Jiannu people on the avenue, and waking up Zhuo Na and Damub.
