Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 134
The five horse thieves who were killed and injured by the first round of the bird's beak gun fell to the ground. Even if the three survived on the spot, they were immediately trampled to death by the horses rushing up from behind. When they died, they uttered terrifying screams.

And the five horses that were killed or injured also caused a lot of trouble for the horse thieves who charged behind. The two dead horses became obstacles for the horse thieves who charged behind at high speed.A horse thief with excellent riding skills jumped over the corpses of the two dead horses, and the three horse thieves with average riding skills tripped over the two dead horses and caused an even bigger obstacle.

As for the two original horse thieves on the dead horse, one fell off the horse and broke his leg. When he struggled to get up, several horses behind him had already bumped into him. When he was on the ground, his whole body was broken into pieces.As for the other horse thief, he was slightly injured when he fell off the horse, but fortunately no horse thief behind him rushed over.

In addition, there were three injured horses that were not dead, screaming and jumping around. Although the three horse thieves on the horse tried their best to control them, they also caused a lot of trouble for the horse thieves behind.

After a round of bird-billed gun strikes by the soldiers of Wuzhaibao, nearly ten horse thieves were killed or injured, and chaos was caused. Many horses were neighing, and the horse thieves behind them tried desperately to control the horses. Undoubtedly, many horse thieves have slowed down their charge, and most importantly, the fear in many people's hearts has begun to permeate.

On the Wuzhaibao sergeant's side, after the first row of fourteen blunderbusses struck, the blunderbuss quickly retreated to their small flag formation. Put the blunderbuss in his hand on the ground, draw out his two-handed long knife, and prepare for hand-to-hand combat.

The thirteen blunderbuss soldiers in the second row took a step forward, and heard the sound of the commanding horn of the central army. Immediately, the blunderbuss blared again.

There was another scream of people and horses. Since the horse thieves were closer than before, the power of the bird's beak gun was also greater. The bird's gun was different from the guns of later generations. The power is not strong, but when it hits a person or a horse, it is like a heavy object smashing hard, and the flesh and blood are bloody. That kind of tragedy is really unbearable.

Because the horse thieves didn't know the echelon team, they were all crowded together when charging, and some horse thieves slowed down during the previous chaos, so this round of attack was more effective, and six more horse thieves were killed and injured , rolled to the ground, screaming loudly.Several horses were injured, with huge wounds on their bodies. They neighed miserably and frantically, making the horse thieves on the horses uncontrollable, and even two of them fell down.

Soon, with the sound of a trumpet, the third round of blows came. Amidst the deafening sound of bird guns, the dazzling flames from the muzzle, and the pungent gunpowder smoke, there were nearly ten horse thieves or horses. Casualties.Counting now, the four hundred horse thieves have lost nearly 30 people, especially the tragic situation when their companions were injured or died, which made the horse thieves behind have great fear. Many people have tightened up intentionally or unintentionally The reins, the thought of running away came into my mind.

The little leader surnamed Yang saw his comrades falling down and falling off his horse. His heart went from fear to anger. Didn't he never fight with officers and soldiers before? When did he suffer such a big loss?He brandished the long knife in his hand, roared wildly, and led the rest of the horse thieves to charge towards the Wuzhaibao sergeants.

The horse thieves beside him mustered up their courage, all with red eyes, waving their sabers, and followed him on horseback. As long as they charged up again, those officers and soldiers would let them slaughter.Besides, they also saw that the blunderbuss soldiers who terrified them had retreated.It makes them feel more at ease.

The horse thieves had already rushed to fifty paces, and nearly thirty Wuzhaibao sergeants pointed their bows and arrows at them. , and also served as an archer in wartime.Each of them cooperates with a strong bow and thirty big arrows.This combination bow is a one-stone strong bow, within thirty steps, it can break through iron armor, and within fifty steps, it is naturally easy to fight against these horse thieves who are only wearing cloth robes.

The horse thieves had just rushed fifty paces, when there was a rain of arrows in front of them, thirty big arrows whizzed over, there was a burst of screams, at least twelve horse thieves were shot through the chest, and ten horses were shot and wounded.

Counting the dead and injured horse thieves, more than 400 horse thieves have lost more than 40 people before they touched each other's bodies. Along the way, there are horse thieves or horse corpses lying on the ground. Most of these corpses are Bloody and bloody, the death was extremely ugly.

Even if these horse thieves are strong, they still charged forward after [-]% of the casualties. If they were placed on some Daming Guards, such a formation, such a casualty ratio, would have collapsed long ago.

After shooting the arrows, the archers of Wuzhai Fort returned to their small flags. The small flag leader drew out his sharp waist knife and prepared to fight. The three-meter-long spear stood behind the wolf-whip hand holding a five-meter-long wolf-whip, ready to meet the enemy.Behind the spearmen are rattan players and long card players. In foot combat, they stand at the front of the line to block the opponent's heavy arrows or javelins.But when facing the cavalry without bows and arrows, they stood behind the pikemen or wolf gunners. They each held a sharp one-meter-long heavy javelin in their hands, ready to shoot when the enemy rushed to ten steps.

The little leader surnamed Yang chopped down a big arrow that was shot at him. He didn't think about anything now, he just wanted to rush forward and kill those damn Wuzhaibao soldiers, but he rushed nearly 20 While walking, after the gunpowder smoke in front of the formation was almost cleared, he found a problem.

That is, about eight steps away from the Wuzhai Fort queues, there are some rejecting horses placed in a haphazard manner. Should we go around and follow the scrambled routes left by those rejecting horses, or jump over with the horses?Before he could figure it out, he suddenly saw a cannon facing him. The little leader surnamed Yang recognized that it was a tiger squatting cannon of the Ming army. The fire rope was burning, and it was shining with the cold light of death.

The shadow of death loomed over his heart, and the little leader surnamed Yang screamed wildly.

The Tiger Squat Cannon is a small cannon that is commonly equipped in various armies of the Ming Dynasty. The cannon body weighs only a few dozen kilograms, is easy to move, and has an effective lethality of about [-] paces. One hundred pieces of lead shot weighed in money, or filled with some ceramic chips and stones.At this time, several Wuzhaibao gunners had already loaded lead bullets and shot, and lit the matchlock.

The little leader surnamed Yang and some horse thieves rushing in front naturally knew how powerful this tiger squatted. They screamed wildly and wanted to run away, but the people behind were about to rush up. All of a sudden, the horse thieves were crowded and chaotic. into a ball.

There was a loud noise, a thick flame burst out, and the pungent gunpowder smoke filled the air.Like a big broom, the lead pellets and stones shot by the tiger squatting cannon swept a large number of horse thieves, whether they were people or horses, to the ground, and their flesh and blood flew all over the place. At least eight horse thieves and several horses were beaten to death by the lead pellets on the spot. The hands and feet of many people were broken, and they fell to the ground, screaming miserably.And the lead bullet whizzed out, knocking the heads of the little leader surnamed Yang and the horse under him into the air, and the headless corpses of the man and the horse spurted out a fountain of blood, and then fell heavily to the ground.

This kind of tragedy caused the horse thieves beside them to collapse. They screamed wildly, hit their horses desperately, and retreated.The horse thieves farther away from them did not see the situation here. When they rushed to the front of the rejecting horses according to their inertia, they couldn't decide whether to go around the rejecting horses or jump over the horses. Dozens of hundreds of horse thieves squeezed in front of the rejection horse and huddled together.

Those rattan players in Wuzhai Fort had already prepared sharp heavy javelins, and these huddled horse thieves were less than ten steps away from the formation of Wuzhai Fort, which was a good target. After throwing twenty heavy javelins, , without exception.Amidst the whistling sound, there was another scream. After the heavy javelin fell, people and horses really entered the cave. Many horse thieves, both men and horses, were nailed together.

Seeing such a dire situation, and seeing that the opponents are waiting in full force, the stern wolf traps and spears are facing them. At this time, the horse thieves have already lost their advantage in charging. At this time, facing the infantry, they are just some lambs waiting to be killed.

And the Wuzhai Fort rattan card holders over there, each of them brought two heavy javelins, and they threw twenty javelins at this time, killing twenty horse thieves.Seeing that they were about to take javelins to shoot again, and hearing the screams of the little leader surnamed Yang, the horse thieves here also collapsed.

They screamed wildly, shouting in their mouths: "I lost, I lost, I lost." While shouting, they beat their horses desperately and fled away.

Some horse thieves who ran slowly died under the heavy javelins that followed.

During this process, Liu Shaoan, the leader of the horse thieves, had been standing on the hill to watch the battle. After seeing the power of the Wuzhaibao soldiers' guns, his face turned pale.The two brothers Liu Ke and Liu Kezhi also gritted their teeth, and their bodies trembled slightly. Obviously, it was the firearms fired by the Wuzhaibao soldiers in front of them, which reminded them of the previous situation, and the feeling of terror came to them again. heart.

And the more than 100 horse thieves who stayed behind Liu Shaoan looked at the situation in front of them, and they all had ugly faces. The officers and soldiers have fought, when have they seen this kind of firearms?

Different from the officers and soldiers they had seen before, these Wuzhaibao firearms soldiers, their firearms were well aimed and steady, and they could hold back until they were within range before firing, which caused their brothers a lot of losses.These people figured that if they were fighting, there was no other way but to disperse at a distance. The previous method of fighting like a swarm of beacons was very powerful, but in front of the soldiers of Wuzhai Fort, But only to be slaughtered.
