Chapter 107
"Prepare, put..."
It has to be said that Zhao Xu's achievements today are really because he is good at learning. The musket team under the Sultan of Azam Tulansha who had seen at the city of Bosaro was used as a means. The musket team, which originally had 500 people, doubled for attacking the Mussier General Mengge. After all, when he was doing business with Pearl Sprig Xiejielai Duer in Huangsha City, he bought a lot of muskets.
Unfortunately, the Mongols did not understand that things like muskets need to be used in a concentrated manner, just like other firearms. In this case, the concentration of firearms is a necessary prerequisite. At this moment, the 1,000 musketeers under Zhao Xu were lined up in two rows at the foot of the mountain, and a formation like a crescent formation was set up in a section of the mountain. This is not all, their terrain is not low, probably opposite the highland hidden by the "Muzakayi Assassin".
On the half-up slope, Zhao Xu's men raised their headlights to illuminate the opposite hillside. The "wooden assassin" who was disguised as "rocks" could no longer hide under the bright lights. They had to give up concealing, and the bows and grenades in their hands greeted the people climbing the hillside. They were cavalry led by Liu Qian. This time, as the main attacker, he carried many short guns and muskets.
As mentioned earlier, Zhao Xu got this weapon from Azam Tulansha Sultan and immediately imitated it. Although his short gun was far less sophisticated than the one made by Huaxia Island, it was generally enough. At this time, a group of cavalrymen who abandoned their war horses and climbed up the mountain with a short gun with a knife with a hand and a knife with a hand. They did not use bows and arrows, because the 1,000 musketeers on the opposite hillside made sufficient cover for them.
"Target, crossbow, set off!"
Among the 1,000 people, Zhao He drew 100 musketeers, all of whom had mastered the correct usage of the sights. In the past, most of these people were also archers with excellent archery skills, but using muskets became simpler and more effective. These 100 people did not follow Zhao He's orders to shoot volleys. They put the long muskets on the rocks and fired accurately.
The assassins on the opposite mountain holding pulley bows were shot to the ground one by one under their precise blow. Two "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbows" on the mountain were fired by as many as 300 people. The bullets exceeded the speed of sound under the excitement of gunpowder. The explosion at the muzzle was actually the sound of the bullet breaking through the speed of sound.
The shooting of 300 spears formed a dense barrage. Although the wooden general and the soldiers under the captain of the artillery team wanted to re-open and shoot the deletion faces. However, the round of bullets per minute made it impossible to get close to the two "Flying Swallow Iii type crossbows". Although it was covered in a wooden board, the projectiles flying from afar still made the "Flying Swallow Iii type crossbows" sound randomly in the carriage of the "Flying Swallow Iii type crossbows".
"Look up and think of a solution. If it is too late, the cannon will be broken and it will be useless to unfold it."
The soldiers lying on the ground couldn't raise their heads at all. Some people stood up in the gap between gunfire and planned to open the other wooden boards on the car. However, a fire flashed on the opposite hillside, and more than 300 bullets flew over. Although the distance was quite long, the fire-gathering fire made up for the lack of accuracy. The gunner who had just stood up was hit by a bullet that could only be regarded as a "travel bullet".
The huge kinetic energy was completely released in his body. Compared with the steel bullet, the range was slightly longer. The accuracy of the lead ball was worse, but the stopping effect was very good. The gunner was seriously injured with one shot. Although the multi-layer breastplate saved his life, the powerful kinetic energy broke his ribs. At this time, he could only lie underground and leave his fate, and could not move.
"Let's find a way..."
None of the shells lying nearby dared to stand up under the dense bullets. When they shouted, they were trembling as if they were about to cry. In the midst of shooting, a wooden board on all sides of the "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbow" was finally put down.
"Quick, prepare quickly!"
The "Flying Swallow Iii type crossbow" requires power. Although it is only three people who use the bicycle sprocket system to provide power, it still requires continuous power, otherwise its continuous fire function will not be realized at all. As the crossbow unfolds, the surviving gunners cheer and jump onto the cannon car. However, before they could get on, dense bullets roared again.
The bodies of several gunners were like grass in the storm, trembling and spinning down from the cannon cart. At this distance, the accuracy of the musket was insufficient, but its power was not small at all. And this was not the maximum range of the musket. Speaking of the so-called range of the musket, it actually refers to the effective range. Because the initial musket had no rifle, no sight and ruler, and more importantly, the barrel forging technology did not meet the requirements. Therefore, early muskets could only use close-range fire shooting to increase the hit rate.
After flying out of 600 meters, the lead balls of the musket still have considerable lethality. When there is no accurate head, the lethality counts nothing. From this we can see that in fact, the muskets used by Zhao Xu at this time were already quite accurate, because they had sight and sight, which is the so-called ruler. The accuracy has been greatly improved, but the effective range is still only about 300 meters.
The gunners became desperate under the dense and continuous attacks of gunfires, because when they could not sit on the crossbow's gun position, the dense bullets did not give them such a chance. The "Flying Swallow Iii type crossbow" was relatively fast, but in such a situation, I'm afraid that even if it was opened, there would be no way to shoot. At this time, a problem emerged, that is, Zhao Weinan had no firepower configuration in his heart, so naturally it was impossible to deal with the situation in front of him.
When the "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbow" with a range of 1,000 meters failed, the firepower configuration of his army immediately appeared in a huge gap. At this time, the archer's pulley bow with a maximum range of 200 meters was no longer able to cause any damage to the musketeers opposite the hillside. Since it could not deal with the musketeers on the opposite hillside, it would be impossible to deal with the soldiers who were climbing along the hillside under his feet with short guns and general swords.
When the war has reached this level, it can be said that the fate of this team of "wooden assassins" has been decided. Because on the mountain road opposite them, He Qi was leading his musketeers to advance quickly, and their way back has been cut off!
