The flintlock pistol has much greater advantages than the arquebus, greatly simplifies the shooting process, improves the firing rate and shooting accuracy, is easy to use, and the cost is low, which is convenient for mass production.

It was developed in just one year, and gradually began to be equipped on a large scale, and in the Wanli Dynasty, the arquebus had gradually withdrawn from the stage of history and was quickly replaced by the flintlock pistol.

More than a thousand soldiers poured in, shouting and killing to the sky.

Bang bang!!

The shouts of killing were loud, accompanied by the sound of dense gunfire, and the whistling bullets made the more than 1,000 centaurs like weeds blown by the wind, and large swaths of bullets pierced through the corpses.

The key to the paper bullet is that it saves a lot of time in the reloading step: it is a paper cartridge covered with grease on the outside, and inside it contains a certain amount of gunpowder and a projectile weighing 20-30 grams.

The soldier only needs to bite the cartridge open with his teeth, pour part of the gunpowder into the firing pool, and then stuff the remaining gunpowder and projectile into the barrel with a strip, and after rigorous training, it only takes more than ten seconds from pouring gunpowder to pulling the trigger.

With flintlock pistols and cartridge-packed ammunition, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion can currently do five rounds a minute.

This allowed the Shenji Battalion to shoot a dense rain of bullets, even in the face of charging cavalry.

At this time, there were thousands of soldiers of the Shenji Battalion in front of the Donghua Gate, arranged in ten rows, within the range of the enemy's approach, the first row of guns, and then the horses returned from the left and right sides of the battle formation to the back to reload ammunition, the second row followed, then the third row, the fourth row..., so as to form continuous firepower.

This tactic seems simple, but in fact it requires a long period of consistent training, the formation of muscle memory, even in the face of cavalry charges, can not panic, methodical rotation queues.

In this way, even if there is a dozen seconds of reload, the firepower will not disappear.

Bang bang bang!

Blood flowers exploded one after another, and the screams were endless, and the distance of less than 100 meters caused more than 1,000 people led by Shi Heng to suffer heavy casualties.

Even though they were all equipped with armor, they still suffered heavy casualties in the continuous shooting of the Shenji Battalion, and in just ten seconds, more than 100 people died, compared to more than 1,000 people.

But there were many wounded, at least three hundred, lying on the ground like dying beasts, wailing in pain, which was terrifying to the ears of the other soldiers, and most of the courage that had just been inspired by the reward disappeared at once.

"Ahhhh

"My arm, my arm is broken, stop the bleeding for me!"

"It hurts!!"

............

Shi Heng is also a good fighter, taking the lead in the charge, but just after running a distance, a deafening gunshot sounded in his ears, and then the soldiers around him fell in large pieces like cut straw, and the casualties were extremely heavy.

Seeing the soldiers around him fall one by one, fear surrounded Shi Heng.

His reaction was not much slower than Zhu Qizhen's, and in an instant, he shrank his head and rolled back, crawling backwards, and his mind was blank.

What kind of firearm is this???

The rate of fire is so fast?

The army is also equipped with firearms, the kind of bird guns that are said to be the most advanced, the rope is too long, and if you are not careful, it will ignite the bullet belt on your back, the rate of fire is extremely slow, it cannot be used in rainy days, and when you shoot it, it is like a smoke bomb that will seriously blind the sight of your own army.

In his eyes, this thing was not much different from a burning stick, even if it was given to him.

Seeing that Shi Heng, who had taken the lead, retreated, the morale of the other soldiers dropped a lot.

"Bring a bow to !!"

Li Rusong stared at Shi Heng tightly, and with a shout, someone sent a big bow more than one meter long.

As the commander of the Shenji Battalion, the reason why he does not use a flintlock pistol is because he has practiced volleys since he was a child, and he is skilled in bows and horses, and can penetrate Yang in a hundred steps, and in his hands, the accuracy of the bow and arrow is better than that of the flintlock pistol.

Draw the bow, tie the arrow, aim.

Sou!

Arrows burst through the air.

Laugh at!

An arrow pierced Shi Heng's shoulder in an instant, and just as he screamed, another arrow flew and pierced his other shoulder.

"Ahhhh

This time he finally let out a scream, and the next moment, two more arrows flew through his legs, splattering blood, causing him to lose his mobility and fall to the ground.

This Shi Heng was ordered by His Majesty Jingtai to deliberately spare his life and kill him alive.

Zhu Qiyu values him very much, but this guy betrays, so Zhu Qiyu hates him very much and doesn't want him to die cheaply.

With a continuous burst of shooting, more than 1,000 soldiers and horses led by Shi Heng completely collapsed, as the saying goes, the defeat is like a mountain, and those who are still alive and can still run hurriedly flee for their lives.

Seeing that his side had suffered heavy casualties, Zhu Qizhen was stunned and panicked, and hurriedly asked: "Uncle, Xu Youzhen, what should I do now?" "

At this time, Xu Youzhen, Yang Shan and others also became a pot of porridge, hearing Zhu Qizhen's inquiry, Sun Jizong's mouth opened, and he couldn't say a word, Xu Youzhen took a few deep breaths:

"Your Majesty, stay in Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, since the palace change failed, we can only escape, leave the capital, flee to Wara, ask for help first, let him help you reset the throne."

Zhang Xuan nodded: "If you don't want to die, this is the only way, take advantage of them not chasing, run away quickly!" "

So they gathered the collapsed centaurs as fast as they could, but they stopped before they could run a few steps.

Ahead, there was the neighing of a large number of war horses, and then five hundred iron horsemen appeared in their field of vision.

Zhu Gaoxu rode on a tall horse and laughed: "Surprised, surprised, not surprised? "

He had already led people to ambush behind, just waiting to make dumplings.

"Zhu Qizhen, Xu Youzhen and others conspired against each other and attacked the palace at night, the crime is unforgivable, and they will all be taken!"

The five hundred iron horsemen who completed the array began to charge, holding a three-meter-long cavalry spear in their hands, straddle the war horse and continue to accelerate, like a stormy wave pushing forward, as the speed accelerated, the horse's hooves stepped out of the thunderous sound, and the deafening response instantly shattered everyone's minds.

Zhu Qizhen and the others trembled all over, subconsciously fled backwards, and collided with the people behind them at once, and then everyone screamed and turned back, like a toppled domino spreading.

However, the Shenji battalion in the rear is also advancing.

On one side were the guns and bullets of the Shenji Battalion, and on the other side were the war horses and spears of the iron cavalry, like a huge meat grinder, which soon created a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

They can't escape, the outside of the Donghua Gate is completely closed, the front and back are the city gates, and the left and right are the city walls several zhang high, like an urn city.

Countless corpses piled up outside the originally empty Donghua Gate, some were killed by bullets, some were trampled to death, some were pierced by riding spears, some were hacked to death by knives, some were hit to death by war horses, trampled to death, blood flowed, and the pungent smell of blood was disgusting.

A huge palace coup came to an end.
