"Put the horses on the ground and let them lie on their stomachs," Zhang Qiang pressed the bullets and pressed the lead bullets tightly with a cleaning rod, while shouting to the guard cavalry who surrounded him.

Some wounded horses neighed, struggled, and wanted to get up from the ground. This not only disrupted the defensive circle of the guard cavalry, but also greatly reduced their shooting accuracy.

First there was the throwing of javelins, sneak attack with bows and arrows, then the brave attack of the barbaric aborigines who were ambushing in the grass on both sides of the road, and then the arquebus fire from the hillsides on both sides. The cavalry pro-guards lost more than 50 people, of whom more than 30 were seriously injured, and more than a dozen people died immediately.

Some people were frightened by their horses and ran around with their knights, some ran back, some ran towards the barracks of the matchlock gun factory, but most of the knights were not overturned by the horses on the way, and dragged bloody , They were killed and injured by bows and arrows and matchlock guns. These knights caused Zhang Qiang's team to lose more than 20 people.

Since the other knights were in the center circle of the guards, protecting Zhang Qiang, they immediately reacted and charged on their horses. The charge of more than 30 knights wiped out those barbaric natives in ten minutes, and scattered those bows and arrows at the same time. It also caused damage to some arquebus shooters, disrupted their shooting rhythm and team, and even caused the death of seven or eight people.

But the contribution of those thirty knights was nothing more than that. They were accurately hit by bullets fired from farther away. Either the horses fell to the ground and were crushed below, seriously injured and screaming, or they were the same as the previous ones. Like a knight, the corpse was dragged by the horse and fled in all directions.

About 90 people stayed beside Zhang Qiang, were organized, hid under the cover of the body of the horse, and used the matchlock guns on their bodies to fight back in an organized manner.

Divided into the front, middle, rear, and one on the left hillside, there are a total of seven organized resistance positions.

Just when Zhang Qiang thought that with the resistance of these people, he could get reinforcements from the nearby guards, the ruthless reality shattered his thoughts.

The gunshots on both sides became louder and louder, and under the organization of some people on the other side, the opponent's arquebus gunners in a team of twenty or thirty neatly wiped out the guard cavalry on the outer cavalry positions of his three resisting positions.

Although it also caused some damage to the opponent, Zhang Qiang estimated that the damage was not too great, because the opponent's gunfire became more and more intensive, and under the bright moonlight, one could see the enemy's gunmen gathering together.

The first time the opponent fired, Zhang Qiang estimated that it was about twenty or thirty matchlock guns, and the second fire was fifty matchlock guns.

If we say that these foreign devils are still in the early stages of the platoon shooting tactics, it is estimated that they only use a two-stage shooting method of one row to two rows, and then there are pikemen, pikemen, and even heavy armored soldiers next to them. Heavy infantry covered the front and rear sides.

Twenty or thirty matchlock guns, at the beginning, five or six shots were fired in turn. After three to four shots, there was a pause for about 30 seconds.

Even if the method of three-stage shooting can make loading cumbersome, and the arquebus that takes a long time to reload can use this method to achieve continuous strikes, output firepower, and inflict a lot of damage to the enemy, but even so, once three rounds, or the number of people arranged When it is exhausted, the shooting interval of the matchlock gun is still very long, the longest is 1 minute, and the shortest is about ten seconds.

Maybe it was the night, maybe they were flustered, maybe they were not elite arquebus shooters, they could be said to be skilled arquebus shooters, compared to the Qing and Ming, these orientals who didn’t like to use these firearms by nature, They are already considered elites, but even so, they can only be regarded as qualified or average, and some are even mediocre in the regular army of those matchlock gunners in the West.

This led to their continuous shooting, three rounds, or four rounds. When the number of people was exhausted, the shooters in the first round hadn't loaded the bullets, or they loaded in a hurry, and many people made mistakes.

Therefore, when they restarted a round of shooting, there was still time.

This gave Zhang Qiang time to calculate their regularity, and time for his team to breathe. Zhang Qiang quickly adjusted his tactics.

The troops were quickly assembled and their thoughts were stabilized. These cavalry quickly organized and gathered together. The remaining four groups quickly formed a defensive formation with a figure of eight. About ninety cavalry hung on their horses. The long matchlock guns and short-fire blunderbusses fired salvos at the opponent's assembly point, and the two sides launched the first battle of firearms in the eastern country of Ming Dynasty.

Still in such a situation of being ambushed by the opponent.

However, when the opponent has also adjusted his tactics, the opponent's number of muskets, as well as the timing of the ambush, the location of the ambush, the number of people and muskets are more than Zhang Qiang's side, the situation on Zhang Qiang's side becomes more obvious. Be passive.

Being suppressed again, Zhang Qiang vaguely saw the other party rushing down a large group of people from both sides and the hillside grass in front. He was still holding a shield, and he was wearing a heavy helmet that was armed to the teeth like a European heavy infantry, and his entire head was wrapped inside.

"A matchlock salvo, one round."

Zhang Qiang shouted quickly.

"clap clap"

Gunshots rang out in groups of three and four, as if they were frying beans.

Zhang Qiang's arquebus volley was different from the Europeans who stood in a row and fired at a group of people. He used a strategy of three or five people in a group and focused fire on one person.

This is a tactical method that is usually trained.

Of course, in the decisive battle, he would still use the European line infantry volley method, but when the team faced the enemy, or faced with a small number of enemies, it was a bit wasteful, so Zhang Qiang created this method. The salvo method can eliminate the threat to the greatest extent.

Those who rushed to the front fell to the ground one after another, no matter how vigorous they were, no matter how they looked like they were swaying, no matter how solid they looked, but nowadays, the barrel of the finger is thick, and the matchlock gun weighing more than ten catties , some even weigh more than 20 kilograms, and that lead bullet is as big as a pea. If such a lead bullet hits a person's body, even if you are wearing steel armor, you will die miserably.

After paying more than a dozen casualties, Zhang Qiang saw corpses lying on the mountain in front or on both sides.

The casualties of these dozens of people were caused by the opponent's arquebus shooters who used these cavalrymen to shoot the charging soldiers with focused fire, or accurate shooting, causing damage to Zhang Qiang's side.

But the situation remains serious.

Because the opponent's cold weaponry seems to be exhausted, but they still have more matchlock guns than Zhang Qiang's here.

"Captain Pete, you can't fight like this, you have to give it your all, give it your all, understand?"

Tian Bin saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.Half an hour had passed since the battle, and it was only three miles away from the arquebus factory, and only five miles away from the nearest garrison camp in the mountains.

Look at the beacon fires lit on the beacon towers all over the mountains and plains, and you will know that the enemy has mobilized on a large scale.

Maybe the enemy didn't know what was going on at the beginning, so they sent reconnaissance troops to visit, and mobilized resting soldiers to prepare for war.

Maybe they will be more prudent, because they are guarding a very important strategic factory of the Jinhua Rebel Army, they have to be more cautious, and they can't rush to send rescuers as soon as they see the beacon, but they will always send rescuers.

Captain Pete sneered and said to Tian Bin, "Do you know where Captain Vasari went?"

Tian Bin is very anxious now, because he is already a traitor with Zhang Qiang, a betrayer, betrayed twice, narrowly escaped once, if he is surrounded by the army in the mountains, then he will undoubtedly die if he is caught.
