Chapter 162: Second Strike
The ship's response is not unfast, but it takes time for the ship to pull the anchor, raise the sails, take the oarsman in place and start paddling, etc.
Seeing that the ** soldiers were approaching rapidly, and the ship under his feet was barely a leap away from the shore, Zhang Wanbang, a young but experienced Xuanda warrior, shouted decisively: "The soldiers ride and abandon the horse!" The edge of the bulwark is lined up, and the guns are lined up in three ...... Prepare for the second stage! ”
Originally, what he practiced the most recently was the three-stage attack, that is, the three-row round-up shooting combat method that Gao Pragmatic came up with, so he almost said it in passing just now.
However, sometimes the war cannot be rigid, and in the current situation, the cavalry under his command is only fifty in total, and if it is divided into three rows, each row is less than twenty people, and the power of the salvo is too small, so he temporarily changed his words to a two-stage attack.
In fact, even if it is a second shot, the number of people is very insufficient, but there is no way, there are no weapons such as semi-automatic rifles, automatic rifles or even assault rifles these days, and the reload speed is too impressive, and the second stage can barely maintain the rhythm of firing one shot - wait a while - and shoot again.
And if after all the shots are fired, wait for this group of people to reload themselves and then fire the second shot, then the interval between them will be too long, even if the Mongols can't get on the boat after rushing to the shore, it is enough to launch several rounds of fire, at such a close distance, the Mongols can use armor-piercing arrows, not to mention those Jinghua boatmen who are not wearing battle armor, even if they can't withstand the armored dismounted cavalry, in that case, the casualties will become completely uncontrollable.
Zhang Wanbang's family members were originally leading the boat on their horses, and ran to the place arranged for them by the boat boss to appease the war horses who did not like to get on the boat, but at this time, Zhang Wanbang shouted, and they tied the horses casually, hurriedly picked up their guns and ammunition and ran back to the bulwark at the edge of the deck to line up.
Zhang Wanbang's previous position has not been high, and he often rushes to the front line, so this time when there are only fifty people under his hands, he simply wears multiple hats, not only as the "commander-in-chief", but also as the starting officer, watching the two columns of people standing, and immediately said loudly: "Loading charge - the first row comes forward, the target is the Tartar on the shore, and the salvo is ready!" Second row reload ready! ”
At this time, the forwards of the fried flower department were already less than two hundred steps away from them.
Even if it is an infantry, it will not take long to walk two hundred steps, let alone a cavalry in an accelerated state.
Zhang Wanbang's slightly narrowed eyes flashed with a cold cold light, and he slowly pulled out his waist knife expressionlessly, held it high above the top, and suddenly pressed forward violently, and let out a roar like spring thunder in his mouth: "First row - fire!" ”
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of gunshots as fast as fried beans sounded, and Duo ** soldiers, who had rushed to the shore less than fifty paces from the shore and were slowing down, made the first batch of test products.
For the first time, the Wanli one-style rifle version was used as a pure rifle, and this was the case of shooting.
The losses of the Duo ** soldiers were not serious, seven people were shot on horses and fell off their horses, life and death were uncertain, four war horses were shot, prostrate on the ground and the knights on the horses fell off their horses.
Even if all the people who fell off the horse were treated as killed in battle, the hit rate of this shot was only more than forty percent, and when this shot was fired, the opponent was only sixty or seventy paces away from the warship at most, which is already an excellent shooting distance, and the Wanli style because of the four shallow rifling lines in the barrel, the hit rate at this distance is actually quite high.
However, Zhang Wanbang did not blame his family for being useless, because he knew that the main reason for the obvious drop in shooting hit rate compared with the training was the boat.
Although Jinghua's gunboat is indeed a big ship on the Liao River, the river will still bring ups and downs to the hull, and there is rain today, and if there is rain, there will be wind, and if there is wind, it will cause the shooting accuracy to decrease, and second, it will increase the ups and downs of the ship.
All kinds of conditions combined, there can be more than forty percent of the hit rate, which is already very rare, and no matter how picky it is, it is completely picky.
Zhang Wanbang is not a junior brother on the battlefield, as a middle-level officer in the first batch of Wanli re-equipment troops, he is familiar enough with firearms to make such a common-sense mistake.
So his face remained unchanged, and he didn't even care about the momentary panic after the first baptism of this "strong firepower" by the soldiers on the opposite side, but just coldly continued to order: "The first platoon retreats and reloads the charge, and the second platoon steps forward, takes aim with the guns, and prepares to fire!" ”
Different from the Xin'ai Department and the Chahar Department, which had already suffered from Wanli's style, it was the first time that the cavalry of the Fried Flower Department had been "beaten" like this, and during the second wave of guns, because they rushed closer in a panic, some of the people in the front had even reached the shore, while Jinghua's gunboats only "drifted" about twenty steps away from the center of the river accordingly, so the distance between the two sides was closer when they opened fire this time, in fact, no more than thirty paces.
Another row of gunfire rang out, and the cavalry of the Duoyan Division fell fourteen people and five war horses! The shooting accuracy of the Ming army suddenly increased to seventy and a half!
Fried Flower Taiji himself rushed relatively high at the beginning, because he had not seen the power of Wanli One Style before today, and his understanding of the firepower level of the Ming Army came from the three-eyed gun that was popular in the northern border army in the past, and one percent came from the Longqing Second Style equipped at the turn of Longwan.
However, the total amount of equipment of the Longqing II style is not very large, and the importance of "Xihuai" at that time is greater than that of the "Eastern System", and the premise of the success of "Xihuai" is that according to Gao Gong, it is necessary to have a strong army first, so that Tumut does not dare to hope to force the Ming Dynasty to agree to open the border city, so the Longqing II style of clothing in that period is inclined to the west side of Xuanda Mountain, until later Tumut is more and more honest and content to maintain the existing situation, horses, equipment and other materials are inclined to Jiliao.
In addition, a small number of Longqing Type II muskets equipped by Liaodong were basically used by Li Chengliang to equip his own family and the family of other generals, so when the fried flower faced a small "Tan Ma", he didn't expect the other party to put a musket array out - not to mention that it was still on the boat.
As a result, Zhang Wanbang's first round of salvo almost directly "named" the fried flower Taiji, which was also the main reason for the confusion in the forward cavalry of the fried flower department just now - they were afraid that the fried flower would be killed on the spot, so they hurriedly escorted him into the rear formation.
At that time, he was also a little frightened, and he didn't have time to think about other things for a while, until after this second round of volleys, he became angry, how could the firearms of the Ming army be updated again? Or did Lao Tzu kick the iron plate, and in front of him was the family of an important person?
At this time, he suddenly remembered one thing: it was rumored that Jinghua was the largest supplier of firearms in the Ming Kingdom, so Gao Shishi's own guards had always been equipped with the best and latest firearms, and now the firearms on the opposite side were so sophisticated, and there was such a big ship, so could the people on this boat ...... It's him?
The eyes of the fried flowers were bright, and he shouted: "Shoot!" Shoot me the armor-piercing arrows in the front row! After a while, I want to shoot rockets! Bentaiji wants to leave this ship! ”
