Lord of Ming Dynasty

However, the enemy's artillery opened fire before the orderer could finish repeating the order.

Seeing more than 30 cannonballs flying straight towards them, McConjie had closed his eyes and began to pray to Jesus, Christ, the Virgin Mary, and all the gods he could find.

But after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear the screams from their phalanx, so he couldn't help opening his eyes, and saw, oh, it was their artillery unit that was hitting.

But poor artillerymen.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a person standing on his back. More than a dozen cannons were destroyed at once. More than 200 artillerymen lay on the ground. The carriages pulling the cannons were overturned everywhere. Heartbroken, that's miserable.

More importantly, what caused the damage to more than a dozen cannons seemed to be a powder keg explosion. It is impossible for the solid bullets of more than [-] cannons to hit the scattered artillery positions at once, unless their shells can hit them in a straight line from the side of the artillery positions. Come on, the shells have enough kinetic energy to smash a few cannons and still have the strength to bounce on the ground a few more times.

This is obviously impossible.

The artillery position is abolished, this is his point of view, with such a large damage, I really think that the British are invincible aliens, I really think that those auxiliary artillery and gray cattle are thugs who are not afraid of death. Can you still maintain military discipline and continue to operate the cannon to fire under the scolding and command of the officer?

Riding on the chaos, they had already disappeared without a trace, and even the British artillerymen also ran away from the position.

The artillery positions on one side, the Portuguese artillery positions, and their British and Portuguese phalanxes have not been hit from the beginning to the end. Although they may be hit next, they are slow, step by step, and staggering Advance, also advance, finally moved to 80 meters in front of the enemy.

The enemy's army was standing still, the artillery had already begun to retreat, and the enemy was already close to 60 meters, which is a distance that can be hit by a musket gun.

It's not easy. Next, let's see our musketeers of the British Empire reap your lives. There are only a few thousand people in the area. There are tens of thousands of support troops behind us, thousands of arquebus troops. Although the quality of the Japanese iron cannons Not very good, the range is not very far, although those timid and lazy gray cattle can't be reused, but it is still very useful for fighting with the wind.

Chapter 4 and Three

The Portuguese governor, Schroeder, doesn't think about the hapless Spanish governor, Javier, or what is happening to his brother, the Dutch governor, the governor of the Netherlands. They have successfully approached the enemy at a distance of 60 meters, and they are about to win , let you see what is the volley shooting tactics of the Westerners, what is the three-stage shooting tactic, and see what is called civilized people's war.

He raised his hand high, and the tempo of the snare drum suddenly changed, becoming slow and heavy, "Boom--", "Boom--," "Boom--,".

Whether it is the Portuguese phalanx, the disabled Spanish phalanx, or the even worse Dutch phalanx, or the phalanx that has broken through to a distance of 50 meters, it is almost gun to gun and muzzle to gun with the enemy. In the ranks of the British army aiming at the mouth, there were cheers one after another.

"Stand,"

"gun off the shoulder,"

"Raise the gun,"

"preparation,"

There was a silence of about ten seconds in the middle.

Except for the damaged cannons, artillery carts, and pack horses, the artillerymen of the Huaxia Army are all in the process of shifting positions. There is no way. The enemy has run under their noses. They have to retreat. At this time, the Portuguese opened up A round of artillery, and then quiet down, can not fire any more, if you fire again, you will hit your own people.

Today's artillery does not say that it can shoot directly. The entire formation has now blocked the firing range of their artillery, unless they want to fire behind their own flanks.

While the queue was moving, there was still room for them to shoot sideways. When the queue stopped and unfolded, this section was closed. Now is the time for the two sides to compete with each other.

"Fire."

This order was not issued by the queue in front of the Portuguese coalition army, but by the Chinese army column not far away.

How could the impatient Huaxia Army who had been waiting for such a long time be so stupid, Zhang Qiang just waited for this moment.

Nowadays, except for some people who are equipped with Jin Kai 1 matchlock guns in a hurry, another part of the field brigade is equipped with Jin Kai 2 matchlock guns, and most of the soldiers of the guard regiment are equipped with smoothbore flintlock guns.

60 meters is a good distance, and the enemy's aim will not be that high, because they use at most Jinkai 1-level matchlock guns.

This point is to say that Zhang Qiang sold the matchlock guns to Zheng Chenggong earlier. Zheng Chenggong not only regarded these guns as the treasures of his trade, but also paid a high price to the Spaniards, earning a lot of money from the Spaniards. The gun is used for imitation. Although the quality of the imitation product is not as good as that of the Huaxia Army, the various parameters still reach about 1% of the Huaxia Army's Jinkai [-] matchlock gun.

The Spaniards also bought these guns, so the Spanish army is equipped with a lot of genuine Huaxia Army Jinkai 1 matchlock guns, as well as Zheng Chenggong's copycat Jinkai 1 matchlock guns, as well as their own Spanish matchlock guns. Purchased British and Dutch arquebus guns, as well as their own imitation of Zheng Chenggong's imitation arquebus guns.

In order to shoot stably, each of their arquebus guns is very heavy and requires a stand to fire, which resulted in a few more steps in the procedure and a little more time for preparation.

The matchlock guns of the British are not bad, but the matchlock guns of the Portuguese are all bought from others. Although they also imitate them, they don’t have special people to study them. It would be nice to be able to make other people’s matchlock guns.

In terms of research, only the local military department can do research.

Most of the Dutch are also equipped with their own matchlock guns, and a small part are equipped with matchlock guns and rifled matchlock guns developed by them.

When they were not firing, no one knew whether these miscellaneous matchlock guns could fight against the smoothbore flintlocks of the strongest guard regiment of the Huaxia Army.

With the order to fire.

After waiting for a long time, and having endured several rounds of artillery, the Huaxia Army, which had killed or injured hundreds of people, opened fire unceremoniously.

The continuous firepower, crisp, muffled, gunshots resounded throughout the battlefield, and the smoke rose, wrapping all the firing Chinese troops in the smoke.

For the Huaxia Army's matchlock guns and flintlock guns that can hit more than 100 meters, the distance of 60 meters is really good. Standing on a high place, Zhang Qiang standing at the end of the team can see that the frontal enemy team is like dominoes without binoculars same down.

Peeled like the skin of an onion.

"Okay." Zhang Qiang was very happy.

Schroeder on the opposite side was not happy.

The first platoon of Portuguese soldiers who were about to shoot were all dead.How does this work?

In order to allow as many soldiers as possible to participate in the shooting, the first round of shooting, whether it is the Portuguese, the Spaniards, or the Dutch, has advanced to a distance of 50 meters. The British use misplaced shooting as much as possible, that is, two soldiers stand Open a certain distance, turn your shoulders slightly sideways, and then the soldiers in the back row use this space to join the shooting ranks. Anyway, there are people in the third row behind, who have already loaded their ammunition and can fill their positions.

After the people in the second row finished shooting, they immediately left the open space, and let the comrades who were not shooting next to them and were blocked by the people in the first row in front become the first row, and let the comrades in the third row quickly plug in to fill the empty seats in the first row. Form a new first row, so that all the first row squats down, the second row becomes the first row, the number is still enough, and they become the third row of the reserve, although the number of the third row is less, it will soon be able to Change positions with the comrades in the second row, and participate in the shooting with the comrades in the first row who squatted down. This is a two-stage shooting, and try to use the firepower of the initial strike as much as possible.

Wait for the battle to enter a continuous truncation, and then shoot three shots, because even if you don't want to, you have to shoot three shots, because at that time, many comrades must be killed by the opponent.

At that time, it depends on who is determined and who can persevere.

Those who are determined will finally move forward and engage in a bayonet decisive battle.At this time, the comrades who have no chance to shoot because the width of the battlefield is blocked will rush to make up for the lack of manpower, but they can only engage in bayonet hand-to-hand combat.

So the troops behind are all physically strong fighters.

In the first round of blows, the British died the most, because they rushed to the front, so that there were two hundred households of flintlock troops equipped with improved Dutch muskets.

There were more than 400 people in the area, and only one round of shooting caused the British to lose 120 soldiers in the front line, and the undead also lost their combat effectiveness.

The British hadn't reacted yet. A few seconds later, the Huaxia army, which had been reloaded with bullets, fired again. At this time, the British in the second row had just reacted from their ignorance, and immediately raised their guns. They didn't wait for the order to shoot. The people fired in a panic, forming a confrontation with the second fire of the Huaxia Army.

Due to the haste, only dozens of guns fired, and the bullets of 20 guns were lucky to hit the enemy. The enemy immediately lay down more than [-] people. Not every bullet can kill the enemy, because the enemy is wearing armor. , scratches will not lose combat power.

In a hurry, the remaining bruised soldiers of the Huaxia Army also opened fire indiscriminately, and another five or six fell on the British side. In addition to the more than 100 flintlock guns that had been fired before, the British army fell down another row, and the second The platoon was all but wiped out again.

The British were stupid. The other phalanx was wiped out once, and both sides were in the tense loading, or in the replacement queue, and they were shot twice by the enemy. Don't they need to change the queue?

Yes, the Huaxia Army has changed the queue this time. Although there is still a bullet in the front row that has not been fired, it still needs to change the bullet.It had already been delayed for a few seconds before, and if it was delayed for a few more seconds, the opponent's experienced veteran shooter could also finish loading the bullets in ten seconds, so the officer leading the team decisively issued an order to change the queue, and let the loaded second Line up and shoot.

So the third platoon of the British army hadn't finished changing the queue, or had just stood up, and the officer hadn't raised the command knife, and the enemy opened fire again. The Chinese army didn't need to wait, their bullets had already been loaded, and they just needed to fire. up.

So the third row of the British army and the Huaxia army fired at each other again. This time, the British army lost 80.00%, and the Huaxia army lost [-] or [-] people.

The remaining dozens of people quickly changed the queue, and the Huaxia Army standing in the second row fired again, finishing the last bullet.
