Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Why is the opponent's firearm accuracy so good?

Looking around at the corpses of the soldiers whose heads were shot by the enemy troops below the city as soon as they poked their heads out, Qin Qiong had this thought flashing through his mind.

You must know that although the batch of firearms he received from the Chang'an camp were powerful, their accuracy was much poorer.

But looking at the current situation, the gun in the opponent's hand is much more powerful than his own.

In fact, what Qin Qiong didn't know was that the development of firearms in the Tang Dynasty only took a few years.

And most of the processes were secretly copied from Lingnan and Dazhou, and there was no corresponding manufacturing chain at all.

Datang's firearms can be said to be the weakest among the three powers.

Lingnan has its own R&D team, as well as various materials and documents brought by Chu Mo for research and study.

And in Dazhou, Chu Xin even has a cheating existence.

In the field of firearms research and development and manufacturing, Datang was far behind.

The reason why Datang was still able to compete with it was because Chu Xin was afraid of Yang Hongyu and did not put all his energy on Li Shimin. Most of the reasons were because Li Shimin knew the importance of firearms.

Therefore, after the initial Battle of Luoyang, the whole country was mobilized to start manufacturing and producing firearms.

It was precisely because Li Shimin supplied all the firearms produced to the frontline troops as soon as possible that he withstood Chu Xiang's attack.

But it is precisely because of this that most of the generals and soldiers in the rear of the Tang Dynasty did not know enough about firearms.

The only thing that remains is that firearms are powerful, but they have various disadvantages. It is extremely difficult to promote them throughout the army.

In their understanding, the Tang Dynasty was a celestial kingdom, and they could not equip their entire army with firearms. It was even less possible for the Great Zhou Dynasty in the north and Lingnan in the south to equip their entire army with firearms.

Therefore, when Qin Qiong saw that each member of the Army of the Living Dead was armed with a blunderbuss with excellent accuracy, the horror in his heart was evident.

Seeing soldiers around him being shot in the head and falling to the ground dead, as the commander, he didn't have any way to deal with them for a moment.

Li Ji, who had just arrived, saw that the soldiers brought by Qin Qiong had no battlefield experience and kept showing up, becoming easy targets for others. It was fake to feel depressed.

When he found Qin Qiong, he immediately wanted to take over the other party's command.

Fortunately, Qin Qiong was also very capable. Knowing that he had no experience in dealing with fire guns, he did not insist and let Li Ji take over his soldiers.

After Li Ji took over the soldiers on the city wall, he gave strict orders that the soldiers should not show up, inspect or attack the Zhou army below the city.

Then, he gathered all the archers brought by Qin Qiong and asked them to shoot at the bottom of the city wall.

Then, he gathered a large number of swordsmen and spearmen to form a shield wall in front of the archers to defend against the Zhou soldiers who could board the city at any time.

Just when Li Ji was about to mobilize the fire gun soldiers under Qin Qiong's command as a backup army to respond at any time, an accident happened.

It turned out that most of the 15000 regular troops that Changsun Wuji had quietly transferred were the latest firepower soldiers scattered by the imperial court.

If Changsun Wuji had not used his hands and feet, there would have been 20000 fire gun soldiers at this time.

But when Li Ji nodded, he found that the number of fire rifle soldiers brought by the other party was actually less than 5000.

This is completely inconsistent with the situation reported by the other party.

However, this was a critical moment for defending the city, and Li Ji did not dare to say anything for fear of shaking the morale of the army.

I plan to wait until this battle is over and then find Qin Qiong to ask about the situation.

Just as Li Ji was busy arranging the city guards, the living dead army under the city, under the command of Chu Xiang, directly mobilized 10000 fire rifle soldiers and formed a formation less than 100 meters away from the city wall.

On the city wall, those soldiers who dared to take the lead carried out a large-scale sniper killing.

The remaining legion of the living dead abandoned their fire guns, held long knives in their mouths, and set up ladders, and began to quickly climb the city wall.

Although Li Ji's defensive tactics were very effective, and the power of his bow and arrow was also unparalleled.

But the space on the city wall is limited after all, and the army cannot fully deploy.

Moreover, the physical strength of archers is limited. An archer can shoot a dozen or twenty arrows at most, and then he will lose his strength and be unable to fight anymore.

Because they did not dare to show their heads and were unable to aim at effective targets, the archers' lethality and hit rate were greatly reduced. After several rounds of projectiles, although they effectively resisted the attack of the living dead army, it was not a long-term effective method.

As battlefield veterans, both Li Ji and Qin Qiong knew this truth.

After some discussion, the two decided to open the city gate at the critical moment, and Qin Qiong led the troops out of the city to engage the enemy in close combat and defeat the opponent's attack.

As the battle intensified, the soldiers on the city wall gradually began to lose their physical strength, and the army of the living dead began to slowly climb the city wall.

Seeing the former demons scaling the city wall again, the veterans in Shaanxi Temple were trembling in their hearts.

As for the new reinforcements, they didn't know the pros and cons. When they saw the opponent ascending the city wall, they immediately formed an array and pounced on them.

However, what shocked them was that the "monsters" who climbed onto the city wall, with pustules covering their faces and bodies, and bloodthirsty gleams in their eyes, refused to evade their siege.

The soldiers of the Legion of the Living Dead looked at the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were attacking them, as if they were hungry perverts who had been abstinent for thousands of years and were seeing beautiful women for the first time.

With no regard for his own life or death, he pounced on people when he saw them.

It doesn't matter how many weapons fall on him, or whether he will die as a result.

Their first reaction when they saw the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty was to pounce on them, then open their smelly mouths, bite the exposed parts of the soldiers' bodies, tear off a piece of flesh and blood, and swallow them directly. Eat.

If only one person was like this, the soldiers guarding the city would just treat him as a madman and kill him directly.

But the "monsters" who climbed onto the city wall, as soon as they saw fresh flesh and blood, all pounced on them and opened their mouths to bite them. Everyone who saw this was horrified.

Those former veterans of Shaanxi Guanguan were no longer surprised by this phenomenon.

And those new reinforcements are just new recruits. Many of them have never even seen blood before, let alone such a terrifying side.

Seeing the other party trying to bite a piece of flesh and blood from their comrades, robes, and brothers regardless of the situation, everyone was unable to react for a moment and were all shocked.
