Daming pirates

As soon as the order was issued, all the ministries began to get busy. The artillerymen were not afraid that the rebel cavalry was rushing towards them. In front of the artillery formation, there was a temporary bunker with resisting horses. Even if the enemy cavalry rushed over, they would not be able to do so.

Their artillery positions cannot be penetrated, and the artillerymen also have their own musketeers to protect them. Once the enemy breaks through the defense line, there will be people to stop them.

So these artillerymen continued to load and reset in an orderly manner. At this time, each company had begun to rank units according to their ranking, allowing them to fire freely, and they could freely choose to load ammunition according to their needs.

But the artillerymen, without exception, chose grapeshot and shotgun at this time. These two types of ammunition are the most suitable for dealing with the enemy at the moment. If they use solid bullets now, it is estimated that the officers will be fired after this battle.

After finishing it, I went home to hold my baby.

So at an almost crazy speed, they began to reload the cannon and push the cannon back into position.

The biggest disadvantage of the retractable artillery is that every time a shot is fired, the cannon must be pushed back to the gun position. This is quite physically demanding for the artillerymen. Most of their energy is used to push the cannon, so even if it is

In the winter, if the battle is tense, they will still throw their arms around in the heat.

The cannons began to fire one after another. Although the scattered firing was not as shocking as the concentrated fire just now, the power was not reduced much. On the contrary, it was more effective in killing the enemy.

Where do these artillerymen come from?

, fire at wherever the enemy troops are densely packed, and grapeshot and grapeshot are best suited for this. Every time a shot passes, there is almost no miss. At least two or three enemy soldiers must be killed. When there are more, one shot will kill them.

There is nothing strange about turning over seven or eight of them.

At this time, the musketeers holding mace rifles in the infantry square were all lined up at the front, showing a three-stage attack formation. The three-stage attack was actually just a tactical name. Like today's

Due to the situation, in order to maintain the continuity of firepower, the three-stage attack is no longer able to fully exert its effectiveness.

In order to maximize the shooting efficiency of the muskets, the officers arranged the musketeers into five rows. The five rows of musketeers took turns to fire, which greatly shortened the time between each salvo, making the firepower more continuous and reducing the

This eliminates the waste of ammunition caused by ineffective shooting.

Five rows of musketeers were ordered to fire in turn. The first row retreated to the end, and the second row came up. When it was their turn to fire again, the soldiers in the first row had already completed loading again, so there would be no muskets at all.

Interruption of salvo.

There is only six or seven seconds between each round of volleys. This requires the musketeers to be able to reach the level of reloading twice per minute. This is very critical for the musketeers' daily training. Otherwise,

It is difficult for a musketeer to achieve such a reloading speed during wartime.

Therefore, in front of the infantry phalanx of the home army, the flames spitting out from the muskets were like shuttles, reciprocating non-stop. The front of their formation was shrouded in smoke, so that the musketeers could no longer see the enemy clearly.

In this situation, the only way to shoot is through concentrated fire and volley fire, which is an almost blind fire method.

This time the rebels were in bad luck. Yu Jiajun's artillery shells and bullets were intertwined and rained down on them. Although they frantically urged their horses to rush to the enemy's formation, they failed.

One group after another were knocked to the ground by artillery shells and bullets, and became the victims of this battle.

Chen sometimes felt like there was a roar in his head, and he almost felt a little dizzy. It seemed that today's battle was unreal, like a dream. He could only see the subordinates around him, and there were people there all the time.

Blood mist was spitting out from their bodies, and one after another, people and horses fell to the ground and were trampled under the feet of the people and horses behind them.

Bullets and artillery shells kept flying past his ears, making a whistling sound that made people's hair stand on end and shudder. Later, even he himself became a little numb. This short distance of more than 200 steps seemed to last forever.

There was no end in sight, everything became so sluggish, the shells kept stirring up clouds of dust among the crowd, and the bullets fell on the ground, sending out clouds of dust and smoke.

Just when he finally rushed more than a hundred steps in front of the enemy's formation, his good luck finally left him. He felt his body suddenly shake violently, and there was a sharp pain in his chest, as if he had been tricked.

As if he was punched hard in the chest, the man who was lying on his back was pushed off from behind the horse's buttocks and fell heavily to the ground, with a mouthful of blood spurting out.

Several soldiers exclaimed: "The general has fallen off his horse! Come on, general! Disperse! Disperse! Don't come over! Don't hurt the general again!"

Several soldiers frantically reined in the horses, circled the horse's head, turned around, and drove away the rebel soldiers who were following behind, telling them to avoid Chen Tongyou who fell off his horse and not to step on Chen Tongyou again.

However, their efforts seemed so powerless in front of the Yu Jiajun's artillery fire. Their roars were almost drowned by the Yu Jiajun's gunfire. Few people could hear what they were shouting.

The cavalrymen still lowered their heads, as if they were stupid, and rushed forward with their heads down. The two soldiers who had just jumped off their horses were knocked away on the spot, and were then trampled into a pulp by the random horses.

The remaining soldiers were so frightened that they did not dare to dismount easily. They could only scream wildly. They tried several times to rescue Chen Youchou, but failed. The two soldiers were knocked to the ground by bullets fired from behind.

.

At this time, someone finally saw Chen Youyou who fell from the horse. At this time, Chen Youyou was lying on the ground, with blood spurting out from his mouth. His eyes were half open, looking at the sky, motionless, and his legs

He was twitching slightly. Because he was covered with thick armor, he couldn't see where the injury was, but from the large pool of blood under his body, it could be seen that he was seriously injured and he was already dying.

status.

Fortunately, no one stepped on him again, otherwise Chen sometimes would have definitely died on the spot, but the soldiers could also see that Chen sometimes had more air coming out than in.

"General Chen is dead! General Chen was killed in battle! Oh no, General Chen was killed..." Immediately more people among the rebels screamed and shouted, and more and more people heard it.

The shouts became louder and louder, and the rebel army suddenly began to disperse.

In ancient armies and even modern armies, the most taboo thing is for generals to die in battle. Generally speaking, generals are the core and backbone of the army. Once killed in battle, the morale of the entire army will immediately fall to the bottom. As an army without roots, the rebels have nothing to lose.

The Lord has no country, and he has no support. It depends on these rebel generals to lead them and give them courage, so that they can follow suit and cause rebellion.

But once the rebel generals fell, the pillar in their hearts also fell with them. After hearing the news that Chen You had died in battle, all the rebels immediately panicked, including the rebel generals among them.

They were all at a loss for a moment. The first reaction of almost everyone was that the generals were dead, and they still gave a shit! Run!

So the charging rebel cavalry all began to rein in their horses, turned their horses' heads on the spot, and began to turn around and urge their horses to flee the battlefield. This battlefield was too scary, and the firearms in the hands of these Fujian officers and soldiers were too sharp.

, they were almost unable to parry, let alone fight back.

They were like a group of prey, being cut down in clumps like rice, but they could only watch themselves being beaten, but could not fight back. This kind of aggrieved feeling need not be mentioned.

, it is really depressing and makes people want to spit out old blood.

Now that even their general had been beaten to death, they naturally could not continue to rush over, so the rebels who were roaring just now were shouting and screaming again in the blink of an eye, and they started to swarm

He turned his horse's head and ran towards the road he came from.

Even the speed at which they escaped was much faster than the speed at which they charged, which made the soldiers of the Yu family army feel a little unprepared.

But Meng Fei still accurately grasped the key to the problem. He was the first to shout: "The rebel general was killed! They collapsed! Haha! Keep firing and send them away! Beat, beat hard, beat to death more and more!"

The more the merrier!”

The musketeers and artillerymen continued to fire desperately without stopping. The smoke of gunpowder enveloped them. They couldn't see clearly where the enemy was, so they used blind shooting and launched a collective salvo. In short, as long as there were more hits, there would always be some.

A few bullets can defeat the enemy's troops.

Therefore, in front of the Yu Jiajun formation, the sound of guns and artillery almost never stopped, and they continued to shoot, knocking down the rebels who had started to turn around and flee, one by one.

At this time, Yu Xiaotian also realized that the rebel general might have been killed in battle, or at least he might have been seriously injured, otherwise the rebel army would not collapse so quickly, so he immediately ordered: "Cavalry company, mount up and pursue!

Kill as many as you can! It's best to capture them alive! These guys are all good cavalry! Tsk, tsk, it would be a pity to kill them all!"

Lin Yiyang, who was following Yu Xiaotian, turned his head and glanced at Yu Xiaotian. This guy was still thinking about these nonsense at this time, with a lustful expression on his face, smacking his tongue, and looking like he was salivating, so

I greatly despised this guy in my heart, but I didn't dare to speak.

The cavalry company was already ready to attack at this time. They were very aware of the firepower of their infantry phalanx. Although there were many rebel cavalry, facing a large formation like theirs, they could only take a beating.

It is impossible to break through their large formation, and they will be defeated sooner or later, so what they have to do is to be ready to attack at any time and prepare to chase the enemy's defeated troops.

So when the enemy army started to charge, they all tightened the saddles of their war horses and got ready to mount their horses. They hugged their beloved mounts one by one and comforted their beloved horses. The war horses listened to the roar.

The roar of cannons also made everyone excited. They snorted hard and kept stepping on their horses' hooves, looking eager to try.
