Chapter 1386 Tonight
Shotguns are not new, what is new are shotguns that hit so accurately and cover such a small area.

The Fran cannon can shoot shotguns, and the front-mounted bronze cannon can also shoot shotguns.

As long as the angle is correct and the shooting distance is long enough, this parabolic trajectory will be formed in the end.

The nine-foot-long falcon cannon is equivalent to the Ming army's Wujin Zhenshuo General. If you want to hit such a trajectory, you can use a 45-degree cannon angle to fire a scatter tube containing [-] projectiles five miles away.

Eventually coverage will be scattered within a radius of four hundred steps.

In other words, if the six-pound bronze falcon cannon made in England or the five-pound general Zhenshuo made in Ming Dynasty, which bombarded the car array at this time, could achieve such an effect.

It is not difficult to hit the Cossacks five miles away and use forty wall cars to form a 25 six-step gap car formation.

According to the research example of the Xuanfu Military Weapons Bureau of the Ming Dynasty, as long as you can aim, you can use shotguns even without calibration, and some scattered bullets may fall into the vehicle formation, but it is difficult to kill the enemy.

Because in terms of probability, walking with scatterers is almost like dropping one scatter in one step, and only [-] or [-] scatterers can hit the car formation with one shot, and they will be blocked by the wall of the car during the shooting.

In the end, it is a question of whether a single scatter can hit a person, let alone be blocked by armor, leather jacket, cotton armor and other multi-layered winter protection.

In this case, the ballistic of the tiger crouching gun is amazing.

It has a shorter range, easier to aim, and the ballistic parabola is different from that of a long gun, and its coverage is much smaller.

Although there is only one general flag, there are eight tiger squatting cannons bombarding it on all sides at the same time, and [-] scatterers rained down on the car array almost instantly after the cannon fired.

The Cossacks under the south wall are within range of the tiger guns outside the north wall; the Cossacks under the east wall are also within range of the tiger guns outside the west wall.

There are almost no dead ends.

The sound of tearing cloth reached the ears for a moment, causing all the Cossacks in the car formation to collapse.

What kind of gun is this?
He was shot from all angles, and the spoon standing in the middle of the car array was directly hit by a volley of shotguns from eight guns. Every tiger squatting gun in every direction could hit him with scattered bullets. The worst thing is luck No good not dead yet.

This is the case for more than half of the Cossacks in the car formation. Arms, legs, buttocks, and frontal positions that lack protection are hit by lead pellets. The tiger squatting cannon does limited damage and cannot kill anyone.

Hit the nose, embedded in the cartilage; hit the arm and leg, embedded in the flesh... The probability of being directly killed is too low, usually it is a loss of combat effectiveness.

But Shaozi was more miserable. He was hit by more than 30 bullets all over his body. Even under the chain armor, lead pellets escaped the armor ring and penetrated into the flesh.

It didn't frighten him, but blinded him, and he froze for two seconds by raising his hand, before lying on the ground and writhing in pain.

During those two long seconds, the brain that stopped working was thinking deeply about a question: Where should I cover it?

The wounded and the uninjured rolled all over the ground and looked for cover immediately, but there was no cover at this time, and the wounded lying on the ground could only be used as cover.

Just as we were getting ready here, the second cannon shot outside the car array had already come.

The tiger squatting cannon fired three times in succession.

After the second cannon rang, a crazy Cossack rushed out from the gap in the car wall holding the Moonblade Axe, rolling and crawling.

There was no hope of life, and for those who rushed out, their biggest thought was to see the enemy before being killed.

From the arrival of the Ming army in Shibaozi, the fate of the Cossacks was already doomed.

Whether they crossed the river to attack or defended the city, set up a car formation or captured the trenches, they had only one dead end.

The only choice is how to die.

Was he killed by Tianxia Taiping guns in the field and then trampled into flesh by armored cavalry, or was he successfully killed by a landmine in the attack on Wanlihao, or died of a tiger crouching cannon.

Even if they don't cross the river, they may be killed by the flying fish soldiers transferred from Qi Jiguang by Dong Yiyuan, who has been suffocating for the whole winter, if he defends it until next spring.

Even if they give up the city of Iscal, they will starve to death and freeze to death.

They saw it, and they got it.

After the third volley of tiger squatting guns, the first thing they saw were two unarmed figures with torches in one hand and flag spears in the other, all covered in red foam nailed cotton armor.

Against the mighty and bloated figure is the helmet gun with a small blue flag on his helmet.

They stood at the very edge of the line, one on the left and one on the right.

Behind the two is an officer with a flag on his back, and everyone is in the same bloated cotton armor... In this region and this season, bloated armor is not a derogatory term but a sign of happiness.

The entire three rows of soldiers, like a squad of 11, have been reproduced ten times. Five soldiers with helmet guns on their heads and six soldiers without helmet guns.

Some people wear waist knives, some wear amputation axes, some carry bones, and some carry scapegoats in their backpacks.

After seeing them, the Ming army in the first row did not squat down and shoot in the standard posture, but leaned sideways on their horses, and set up the Tianxia Taiping gun in their hands diagonally forward and backward.

The field of vision in the snow was extremely poor, and they were already very close when they found it. Wanli did not allow them to shoot and aim at such a distance during the training process. The next step was to order the flag officer to charge with the gun.

This posture can scare the Cossack who was struggling out of the car camp with a drop of blood dripping from his body, and directly extinguished his heart for hand-to-hand combat.

If the first one surrendered, there would be another one. As a result, the Ming army fired a gun and advanced a hundred steps. The first thing to do was to tie up the ropes and let the military doctors drag them down for treatment.

After the tiger crouched and the cannon washed the ground, it was easier for the Mongolian Qingqi to explore the car formation. They rode their horses through the periphery of the car formation and broke into the formation through the gap. None, each was either killed on the spot or captured alive.

Zhu Yu, the commander who arrived with flags and drums, arrived late, and the military music that was supposed to be used as a charge turned into a celebration of victory.

The two hundred horse-riding infantry who went to the river came back with their horses after a while. The Cossack boats had ropes, and more than 20 boats were on the bank for fear of being stolen by the enemy. They simply dragged the boats with horses. Pulled back.

This made Shibaozi's Dong Yiyuan laugh from ear to ear, and immediately ordered the boat to stay where it was, and wait for him to send someone to interrogate the prisoners before deciding on the next move.

The six long-lived soldiers had just pulled their troops back to Shibaozi, and just had time to drink a sip of hot soup, the general's order was delivered again, and the banner army who sent the order said to them helplessly: I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep tonight, The general said that I will cross the river tonight, and this boat has to be pulled back again.

Because the captives who were beaten to pieces by the tiger squatting cannon said that there are less than [-] defenders in the city of Isker, lack of clothing and food, and scurvy is prevalent, and they are waiting for reinforcements from [-] regular troops from Moscow.

For Dong Yiyuan, speed is the most important thing, and the chance to capture the city of Isker is tonight.
