Daming pirates

And the common people of the Ming Dynasty also saw the firelight from the Yu Jiajun position and heard the rumbling sound of artillery. Many people closed their eyes in pain, waiting for the artillery shells to fall on their heads in the next moment.

Tear them into pieces.

However, they waited for a long time, but did not find any artillery shells falling in the crowd. Instead, they heard the slave soldiers behind them shouting and screaming in the crowd. When they turned around, they saw

There was a commotion among the Jiannu people behind them, and then someone realized that something didn't seem right.

"Look, the cannonballs have hit the slave-building crowd! Look!" Some brave people in the crowd kept their eyes open and were observing the trajectory of the cannonballs flying in the air. They saw a swarm of cannonballs flying above their heads.

Flying over, they finally landed among the group of Jiannu soldiers behind them, and they suddenly shouted in ecstasy.

The common people quickly turned their heads to look around. As a result, many people behind them saw that many cannonballs smashed into the soldiers of the slaves, beating many slaves until their flesh and blood flew everywhere, and they were torn apart in an instant.

into pieces.

The common people were destined to die anyway, but now they were not too scared, and quite a few people actually cheered.

Jiannu was being bombarded like this. He was angry and scared. He had nowhere to vent his anger. When he heard the Ming people in front of him making a sound of applause, he was so angry that he immediately used swords and guns to kill some people who were walking at the end.

He was beheaded on the spot to vent their anger.

Yu Xiaotian stood on the military observation deck, using his binoculars to keep an eye on the battlefield. When he saw that most of the artillery shells had successfully fallen into the enemy group, he put down his binoculars and banged them hard with his fist.

The wooden railing in front of him shouted: "Okay! Just hit me like this! Good fight! Change to the shells! Keep hitting me!"

His order was conveyed in the form of an order flag in an instant. The officers on the artillery position received the order and immediately ordered: "Everyone has it, the scale is 400 steps! Change to the shells! Continue loading, and give me a hard blow."

beat!"

At this time, the artillerymen who had completed the first round of shelling had already pushed the retreating artillery back to the gun position. The gunners were methodically extinguishing the remaining sparks in the gun barrel at flying speed, cleaning the gun barrel, and preparing for reloading.

.

After receiving the order, the gunner responsible for selecting the type of ammunition immediately responded to the order loudly, quickly took out the shells one by one from the ammunition box on the front car of the gun carriage, and handed them to the gunner responsible for loading.

The gunners shouted loudly and ordered the gunner to adjust the muzzle elevation and calibrate the shooting distance. The ammunition package was quickly loaded into the gun barrel and pushed to the bottom of the gun chamber...

Following the officer's stern roar, the Yu Jiajun artillery position soon began a second round of shelling. The explosive shells smoked and flew out of the gun barrel, drawing arcs in the air and passing over the people of the Ming Dynasty.

The tops of their heads finally smashed into the crowd of Jiannu people again, killing dozens more people in an instant.

The group of Jiannu soldiers suddenly burst into exclamations and curses. It’s not like this. It’s obvious that the people of Ming Dynasty are in front. How can you turn a blind eye and only beat me? What’s wrong with this Yu Jiajun artilleryman?

Did they do it? They really can't figure it out, but the facts are here. Their cannons seem to have eyes. Instead of hitting the people of the Ming Dynasty, they want to hit the slaves who are hiding behind the people. These slaves just stare.

There is no way.

But before their curses could fall to the ground, Yu Jiajun gave them another huge surprise. More than half of the second batch of shells that fell into their crowd, after landing for a moment,

Suddenly there was a roar, and it exploded among the enemy group.

Large pieces of shrapnel roared and flew among the crowd. The flying shrapnel whirled and cut everything they could hit along the way. Every time a shell exploded, a clearing was cleared among the group of slave soldiers. In an instant, the surrounding area

Some of the slave soldiers will be thrown away and fall to the ground with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Such explosive bombs were new to the inexperienced Jiannu slaves. They couldn't figure out why the round iron lump would explode after it fell to the ground, and it could actually blow them away. So the Jiannu slaves

The soldiers immediately became even more commotion.

In order to avoid these terrible explosive shells, some slaves had to evacuate their formation quickly, so that the shells would explode as soon as they hit the ground.

In fact, the actual explosive power of these explosive bombs is not great. The thickness of the spherical grenade itself is very large and uneven. In addition, the power of black powder is small. Even the power of granular gunpowder is definitely not as powerful as the most common high explosives.

Therefore, when there is an explosion, there is often a sound, but not many fragments are actually exploded. Sometimes there are even a lot of blind fires. Even if it explodes, it will often break into two halves.

But even so, for the bumpkin-like slave soldiers, this is still shocking enough. Even if they are hit by the air wave, they will be scared to death. Think about it, it is normal. Even if people in later generations celebrate the New Year, they will be blown away.

If Lei Zi were to die not far away, it would make people's ears roar and startle them. What's more, what about these slave soldiers who have never seen a big scene in this era?

Therefore, the actual killing effect of these explosive bombs was not as good as people thought, but the psychological shock they caused far exceeded their own lethality. The Jiannu were blown to pieces, and they involuntarily tried to disperse towards the two wings.

I no longer dare to crowd behind the people of Ming Dynasty.

The explosive shells also had some impact on the people of the Ming Dynasty. After all, the accuracy of cannons in this era was limited. Some shells fell into the crowd of people, killing and injuring a small number of people. Therefore, they also affected the people of the Ming Dynasty in front to some extent.

This caused them to scatter to both sides involuntarily.

When Jiannu saw the commotion among the people of Ming Dynasty, and some people were running to both sides, he immediately rushed out some cavalry, rushed to both sides of the crowd of people of Ming Dynasty, slashed with swords, and circled these people back, forcing them to move towards

Walk in the front direction.

In this way, the slave-building army pushed the Ming people forward while resisting the Yu Jiajun's artillery bombardment, slowly pushing towards the Yu Jiajun's defense line.

When they reached a distance of about 200 steps, on the left and right sides of the two brigade lines of the Yu family army, those top marksmen who had been waiting for the enemy finally received the order.

The officer suddenly shouted: "Aim at the Jiannu on both sides and hit me!"

This time, these musketeers did not use concentrated fire to shoot. Instead, they lay on the parapet in front of them. They placed their Wolf Fang rifles on the parapet, adjusted the ruler, and began to use the gap to aim the crosshair, carefully

Aimed.

When they realized that they had firmly trapped a Jiannu soldier general, they chose the opportunity to fire on their own, only to hear a scattered but dense sound of musketry from the front lines on both sides.

Explosive bean-like gunshots sounded one after another, and small clouds of gunpowder smoke rose up from both sides of the Yu's army's front. At first, such sporadic shooting did not attract the Jiannu's attention, but soon they found that things were not as simple as they thought.

.

Because the slaves were shelled by explosive shells, they unconsciously dispersed their formation. Some of their soldiers gradually emerged from both sides of the crowd of Ming people who were blocking them. In order to prevent the Ming people from escaping in both directions, there was also a group of soldiers.

A number of slave soldiers and generals were built, running back and forth on both sides of the crowd of common people, controlling the common people to move forward.

Therefore, these people have become the targets of these Yu Jiajun's excellent shooters. Although these shooters fired scattered shots and did not have the shocking feeling of volley shooting, they used precise aiming and shooting, completely pursuing

It is the accuracy of a single shot.

Once they opened fire, the protruding Jiannu slaves on both sides were quickly shot one after another and fell to the ground. The distance of two hundred steps was the distance where the Wolf Fang rifle could fully exert its power.

Generally, it is quite difficult for a musketeer to accurately hit a human-sized target at this distance, and it is also a moving target.

But this time, all the excellent shooters who were drawn out from each company of Yu Jiajun were sharpshooters. Although they were not many in number, they were very good at shooting and had high shooting accuracy. For them,

It is not that difficult to accurately hit a moving target the size of a human body at about two hundred steps, or closer. Even if some people miss it, they still knock over a lot of slaves.

After a while, the slaves on both sides found that the people around them were groaning one after another, or screaming and falling to the ground. They were stunned for a while at first, but when they found that more and more people were being beaten,

When they turned it over, they realized what had happened.

This is a distance of nearly two hundred steps! They couldn't imagine that the Yu Jiajun's muskets could actually shoot so far and so accurately, shooting them one by one as if by roll call.

on the road.

So the Jiannu soldiers were immediately frightened, and hurriedly gathered in the middle to hide behind the crowd of Ming people.

By this time, Jiannu had discovered that these Yu Jiajun really cherished these Ming people. Whether they were firing cannons or shooting, they actually tried their best to avoid these Ming people and singled them out for attack.

This made the Jian slaves very angry. They finally came up with this method, but they still couldn't stop the Yu Jiajun from shooting them, so they had to desperately drive these common people towards the Yu Jiajun's line.

, many of them secretly thought, since you are not willing to kill these Ming people, then let's see if you can kill these strangers when they rush towards you.

The Jiannu cavalry who were originally on both sides to intercept the people and dispersed, after being knocked down some of them, began to disperse and hid behind the crowd of Ming people.
