open sea

Chapter 29
A bang of a gun started Bai Yuanjie's war against the Japanese.

Seventy or eighty steps away, Chen Mu was not sure about aiming at the head, but chose between the chest and abdomen of the Japanese pirate who was walking and jumping, which was the most likely position to hit.But at the moment of firing the gun, Chen Mu felt his hands tremble, and he knew it was broken.

Unexpectedly, as the gunpowder smoke gradually dissipated in front of his eyes, there was a burst of cheers from his side, and he saw that the Japanese pirate holding the golden fan was still holding his hand high, and his body had slowly fallen back.Unable to see exactly where he was shot, Chen Mu felt as if the blunderbuss hit the Japanese pirates in the forehead.

A blind cat meets a dead mouse!

This blunderbuss boosted the morale of one's own army, but the Japanese pirates did not have the horror Chen Mu had imagined. More than 30 Japanese pirates were divided into three teams for a while, and people on both sides took long bamboo bows and shot arrows here. Seven or eight Japanese pirates jumped forward with Japanese swords and naginata, and there was not much noise during the whole process.

On the contrary, our own reaction was a bit slow, and more than a dozen feathered arrows landed in the formation. Most of the feathered arrows missed, but injured a few people, but one shot straight towards Chen Mu, and it grew bigger and bigger before his eyes. .

'Ding! '

Chen Xiaoqi was so frightened that his whole body was covered in cold sweat. There was a long arrow stuck in the center of his hat and iron helmet, and then it fell slowly and was thrown aside by Chen Mu.

Immediately after two bangs from the left and right, the Bai family soldiers held the blunderbuss and threw it at the Japanese pirates' archers. Chen Mu didn't even care to see if he hit it, because Shi Qi had already handed over his blunderbuss, and Wei Balang would also The Japanese blunderbuss took away the load.

No one knows what kind of ups and downs Chen Xiaoqi's heart experienced in the short three or four seconds from killing the No.1 Japanese pirate with his gun to his head. The Japanese gun on the bed was different, and it was so familiar that he raised his hand and raised the gun to hit a Japanese man wielding a large naginata again. The lead pellet hit the chest and abdomen, and passed through the coir raincoat without hindrance, and the thief immediately spilled blood on the spot.

The blunderbuss returned Shi Qi's charge, and Chen Mu had the opportunity to look around the battlefield. The Japanese pirates in front of him had jumped thirty steps away while walking. The quality of the hard bow is not good, and the arrows shot are light and weak. If the Japanese archers are farther away, they can still rely on the weight of the thrown arrows to cause casualties to them. As before, it makes people very angry.

"The first row of gunners, fire the guns!"

Following Chen Mu's order, Shao Tingda, who was on the ground with a knife in his hand, held a wooden shield in one hand and a torch in the other, and lit the gunpowder pool for the three firemen in the first row in turn. Three gunshots sounded successively, although only one bullet hit the leading Japanese pirate's leg. , but brought a lot of horror to the Japanese pirates behind him.

This was also Chen Mu's quick wisdom before the war, because he had seen the military household under Zhang Yongshou who was too nervous and killed his comrades before the battle. Chen Mu specially asked Shao Tingda to hold a torch to light them for them. After all, there were no more than three gunners in a row. It is enough to ignite the fire once, and it can also prevent military households from taking the lead in firing their guns and messing up their positions.

After all, firecrackers are not bird blunderbusses. With a range of [-] paces, you don’t know where the projectile will fly, and you can only aim at [-] or [-] paces. If they release the blunderbuss early due to nervousness, they will not be able to kill the enemy. The medicine time will miss the best time to release the gun, and you won't even be able to release a single shot when the battle comes!

The big naginata also fell to the side, and the Japanese pirates who fell to the ground yelled and knelt on the ground and yelled loudly while hugging their injured legs. They wanted to stand up but couldn't do it. Swapping with the gunners in the first row, after lighting the fire, all three lead shots hit the abdomen and back, killing him.

Only then did Chen Mu discover one thing, the way the musketeers fired their guns seemed to be different from his!They squatted to charge the powder, and applied the shooting process to an extremely simple level-do not aim, just shoot it forward.

Charge the gun wholeheartedly, and fire the gun at will.

It seems that the gunners with this problem have not mastered the correct way to use the bird gun, and they can light it by aiming at the enemy roughly.

This shooting action reminded him of black African uncles shooting guns in the past.

What made Chen Mu even more concerned was that before the Japanese pirate died, he seemed to shout a sentence in Chinese, but the voice was not heard clearly by Chen Mu before it disappeared in the sound of gunfire in front of him.

Dead boy Wei Balang has much tougher nerves and more pure courage than others. It seems that Wei Balang has regarded killing and being killed as a game in his heart. Although he has never hurt anyone with his own hands, he is not afraid of the guns and fire around him The charging Japanese pirates, even Shi Qi's medicine-loading hand would spill the powder from the bamboo tube from time to time, but Wei Balang pretended to be good and fast, just as Shao Tingda ignited the six firecrackers, he held up the gun with a smile on his face. Passed the blunderbuss to Chen Mu, and then...he held up his own blunderbuss filled with medicine and handed it to Shao Tingda's torch, bang!
The dead boy fired a gun into the sky, right behind Shao Tingda's ear, making the big man jump up in fright.

When Chen Mu wanted to aim again, several Japanese pirates had rushed to the front of the formation ten steps away. Bai Yuanjie's order sounded behind him, and the spearmen on both wings moved accordingly. Can't fire the blunderbuss, because Shao Tingda and other sword and shield players have jumped into the battle circle, and they are in close contact with the Japanese pirates who are charging ahead.

Regardless of the order, the gunners shouted and swung their guns to break away from the front line. They shouted with great momentum, but their morale was very low—only one of the six gunners rushed forward with the guns, and the other four rushed forward. Run left and run right.

Chen Mu thought for a while before he realized that one was charged, four were broken, and the remaining one exceeded Chen Mu's expectations for the guards. He steadily picked up the torch that Shao Tingda had dropped on the ground and ignited the The firecracker under the trap, bang!
Iron flakes shot everywhere, screams sounded beside Chen Mu's ears, and the gun exploded. The owner's face was blood red, and chaos reappeared in shock.

Shao Tingda, who charged forward, was extremely brave. The Japanese pirate's sword in front of him was raised above his head and was about to jump up, but he kicked him to the ground, and then slapped him like a bear with a wooden shield. New targets, left and right spearmen rushed up, and several Japanese pirates seemed to have good force, but they were all outnumbered and were pierced by spears. After a moment of stalemate, they were killed to death.

The sound of whining conch shells sounded in the enemy formation, and the forests on both sides flickered, and a large number of figures fled in all directions.Bai Yuanjie ordered the pursuit. Chen Mu stood still and hit a Japanese pirate in iron armor in the forest again. He could no longer see the enemy around him. The battlefield full of corpses came and went quickly. Chen Mu held the iron helmet After looking at the dent of Shangyu's arrow for a long time, he walked in to look at the corpse of the Japanese pirate who had been hit by four bullets, and swallowed the non-existent saliva in his dry throat.

"Is this the pirate?"

　Good morning!
