open sea

Chapter 243
In a battle line of hundreds of paces, no one can ignore the loud noise of hundreds of blunderbuss salvos, even if they shouted to kill from three sides.

It's just that the changes in the formation of the two wings are not as subtle as Wu Dui on the artillery position, who was watching nervously with a telescope. In his eyes, Chen Mu's two wings were on the verge of defeat, and the Tatar cavalry from the north changed formation in an instant, like a green hill. If you want to fall, you can't do anything.

There were already six or seven hundred enemy cavalry crossing the bridge. When they divided into two formations and rushed to attack the weak wings, it would bring disaster to Chen Mu's army. Underground made up his mind to put down the binoculars and turned to Chen Ju and shouted, "I'm going to lose, Chen You..."

Boom, boom!

The muffled sound of the volley of bird guns sounded in front of the formation.

Wu Dui didn't need binoculars anymore. Wu Dui turned his head hastily and couldn't see the fire from the trenches. He could only see a large cloud of gunpowder smoke rising from the left and right in front of the trench canopy, and then it was extinguished by the rain curtain in a blink of an eye. Pian Beilu's cavalry fell down.

Regardless of horses, regardless of shield armor.

Nothing can stop a bird gun from killing people.

The binoculars that Chen Ju was holding tightly were creaked by the eunuch who claimed to be a man, and he saw that the army was in a panic.Not only the northern captive cavalry formation that is about to change, even the recruits on the two wings of our own side were suffocated by the sudden sound of gunfire. , seemed to be frozen for a moment.

Within thirty to fifty steps, Chen Ju didn't know how many Beilu soldiers were killed by the salvo, but he could clearly see a whole row of cavalry falling down on the side of the trench.

Bang bang bang, bang!
But within a few breaths, the gunpowder reappeared, and the uninterrupted volley of blunderbusses stunned the ferocious northern captive cavalry. The horse fell to the ground and the people stood up, and then fell down when the second volley came.

Fast, too fast.

Then the third salvo came, and Chen Ju could even imagine that if it hadn't rained, the smoke from the three salvos would even form a large white mist in the air.

In just a few breaths, three volleys were fired, and three hundred blunderbusses spewed out projectiles one after another, harvesting the lives of the enemy in pieces, breaking up the entire cavalry formation in the east of the bridge, and hundreds of people fell to the ground in an instant and were injured more.

Almost only for a while, the offensive and defensive situation changed, and the first reaction of many cavalry near the bridge came back to their senses was to turn their horses and run towards the bridge.

But where can they run on the bridge that has already been crowded with follow-up cavalry?

Those in the back continued to move forward without knowing what happened, while those in front were frightened by the bird guns and retreated suddenly, and the formation became chaotic.

There must be brave men in a city of ten houses, and the northern captives are no exception. Except for the large number of cavalry who are frightened, there are always brave men who are beyond ordinary people among them. Stepping forward, the momentum is unmatched.

But in the rain, they couldn't see the barbed spears in front of the trench clearly. When they got closer to see clearly, they had no time to turn around. Most of the time, the bow and arrow in their hands had not been shot, and the strong chest hit the spears hard with their strong chests. , In the clear and crisp sound of the wooden spear breaking, there was an exclamation, the feathered arrow flew to nowhere, the knight on the horse was also violently lifted, and then fell heavily in front of the trench.

boom!
Chen Mu put down the smoking pistol and threw it to the soldiers, and killed an enemy who was pushed two steps forward by the horse corpse after falling and was still struggling to get up. He shouted in the trench: "Raise the pistol in front!"

They had more than 300 guns, but the total number of three volleys was less than [-].

What Wu Dui and Chen Ju saw in the artillery position was that their rotation was excellent, and what Chen Mu saw was that the strongest banner army under his command still had a lot of room for improvement in front of the battle.

The first three volleys were over, and there was a stagnation of nearly ten breaths in the middle. The front team of the bird guns loaded the ammunition and raised the guns again. For the first part, the gunners of the former team actually used a speed of nearly forty breaths to load the bird guns.

They are still not very familiar with round strikes.

Boom!

After a while, Chen Mu was not satisfied with the results of the battle. Except for a few cavalry who rushed forward, most of the enemy troops had figured out that there was a group of musketeers who were not afraid of rain in the trenches, and they were the most elite musketeers of the Ming army. ——They are all equipped with three-eyed guns!
And it is a three-eyed gun with a super long range!

They have seen the three-eyed blunderbuss before. Although there is not much equipment for this thing in northern Xinjiang, for the Tumet people, it is the weapon that is second only to the magic arrow among the individual firearms of the Ming people, so they need to keep a distance.

Therefore, Chen Mu saw the enemy army rushing towards the bridge like a crowd. The nearest northern prisoner was seventy or eighty steps away from the trench after four volleys. Insufficient, it is difficult to directly kill the enemy cavalry like before.

this is not good.

"Wave the black flag and blast them back!"

On the left side of Chen Mu, the soldiers were ordered to rush out of the trench. Three black flags were waving in the rain, and the fifth salvo came as planned.

"General Chen is mighty!"

In the artillery position, Wu Dui looked excitedly at the battlefield. Although he was wearing Yunyan scarlet robe, he punched the pole of the awning like a military officer, his face overflowing with unbearable overjoy. The binoculars had long since been thrown away. Going to the side, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth at Chen Ju and said, "General Nan is good at the moment of decisive victory, and his offense and defense are easy. If it is so, the fierce and fierce Luqi is so weak in front of General Chen, just like... This kills people like cutting wheat!"

"That's not true! Our man said it, this General Chen is capable! It can't be wrong!"

Chen Ju was also excited, even a little bit more excited than Wu Dui. He was a person who experienced the Gengxu Revolution in Beijing. He was only 12 years old and followed the eunuch Gao Zhong in full armor to guard the city and the Hulu broke through the barriers. The ferocity left too many terrifying impressions on him, so when encountering a military incident, he should be cautious and cautious, and the imprint left by him when he was a child will often accompany him throughout his life.

When have you seen such a scene?
The sixteen cannons were placed in the position without firing them, and the cavalry were beaten to the point of crying by the guns alone, like harvesting wheat. The northern captives said nothing, and the cavalry was frightened by the infantry and retreated. A hundred steps, even the horse dare not move.

Eh!
Chen Ju's smiling face was fixed on his face, thinking, he seemed to think of something very important just now, what is it?
Looking around, Chen Ju saw sixteen black-painted cannons on the ground!

"Cannon, cannon!" Chen Ju was still young after all, panicked all of a sudden, raised his hands and gathered his sleeves to look around, then grabbed the binoculars hanging on his chest and looked towards the front of the formation, and saw three black guns in the smoke. The flag fluttered left and right like weeds in the wind, "The artillerymen obey orders—let them go!"

In the eunuch's high-pitched and bright voice, sixteen cannons fired wildly at the preset target, where the captive soldiers of the West Shuanma Bridge Brigade gathered.

boom!Boom!

Although it was a bit late, it was not a problem to Chen Mu. General Chen led the banner army to abandon the guns and jumped out of the trench with soldiers, drew his waist knife, and shouted: "Order the two wings, cover and kill!"
