Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Thunderbolt

Absurd war.

Yang Zhaolong, who led the army to the city, roughly asked why the conflict happened, but after knowing the reason, it was better for him not to know.

What is this, that trouble comes from the mouth?

Although Chen Mu didn't say that to Yang Zhaolong, his thoughts at this time were the same as those of his brother-in-law, once the war started, it didn't matter why it started, it was important to win.

He's going to get his people out.

The Yang flag on the ship was removed, and more than 300 people carried two large flags and rushed from the coast to Bali City in two formations.

Except for the banner army led by Liu Baihu, most of the rest are not accustomed to war, but they are already accustomed to fighting when they were born in Banzhou, especially among them, there are a large number of Tumiao men who are all soldiers. If it weren't for the need to leave combat power to guard the fleet, Yang Zhaolong would even be able to send all the women to the front.

In Banshu, women can also throw spears and open small crossbows.

The group was mighty, and although there were weapons that Chen Mu had left for his brother-in-law earlier, the Banzhou soldiers would not use them without training. If you leave a strong crossbow and a strong bow and spear, Chen Mu will make a lot of bird guns and rockets, where will these people make it?

People are still more accustomed to throwing spears and crossbows, and when they take these guys, their morale is like a rainbow, and they look more majestic than the most advanced weapons.

Yang Zhaolong is messing around, Liu Baihu will not make trouble, the flag army under his command pried open the arms box left by Chen Ye, and the eyes of each eye shined, the hundred flag army had three hundred guns, and the handcuffs and birds were armed to the teeth, pushing two-pound cannons and general flag arrows, and several flag soldiers were still carrying Zhao Shizhen's newly made thunderbolts on their shoulders.

Liu Baihu said: It's worth a war.

They swept towards Bali, and the people of Bali also fled to the coast, and there were many Han people in this place, because Yang Zhaolong's gang was rampant in Bali City, leading to conflicts between the local natives, and the Banzhou people were aggressive, and there were casualties in the struggle, and the matter should have been over.

However, the disaster did not subside, but because Yang Zhaolong killed more than a dozen local pursuers, some people fled back to the city, gathered hundreds of people to vent anger at the Banzhou people who had no time to leave the city, because the two ethnic groups looked different, and also brought disasters to the local Han people.

When Yang Zhaolong quickly arrived in Bali, he was catching up with hundreds of Han people who escaped from the city in front of him, and were chased and killed by hundreds of Manchu Boyi soldiers with local young people, this time Liu Baihu was much more decisive, and immediately ordered the banner army to change the formation to guard both sides of the forest road, and the spears and big cards were all thrown on the ground to leave a passage for the Han people, and they were ready to block the enemy with birds.

At the moment of the regular army, Yang Zhaolong was anxious in his eyes when he looked at the back, and he found that he was useless, so he had to shout: "Wave the banner and cheer!" ”

Although Liu Baihu only had 100 people, he didn't treat Yang Zhaolong's men as soldiers at all, and he didn't plan to let them participate in the battle at all.

This was also the reason why he didn't want to fight with Bali City in Majapahit before, because he felt that he might not be able to fight, even if Yang Zhaolong promised five hundred taels of silver, he was not sure of victory.

Everyone loves money, but wealth has to be taken with a life, if Yang Zhaolong dies here, he won't want to live.

Not to mention that Chen Mu punished him in private, just because he didn't complete his mission, this is a big crime in military law.

However, with the weapon that Chen Mu left to Yang Zhaolong, this battle can probably be fought in one battle.

"Let's try Zhao Zhixian's thunderbolt first!"

Zhao Shizhen was called Secretary Zhao by the Nanyang Flag Army in the past, and later became the magistrate of Manila.

The thunderbolt is a new thing he made after returning from Beijing, the cost is low and easy to obtain, in fact, it is four wrist-thick round iron cylinders tied together, there is a handle with a trigger in front, the arquebus head is at the end of the barrel, and the inside is a small rocket wrapped in bamboo paper, the four barrels can be rotated, and the materials are all taken from Manila.

With Liu Baihu's order, the four flag soldiers with blocked ears carrying thunderbolts on their shoulders in front of the formation squatted on one knee on the ground, and then the four flag soldiers stabbed the rocket tail inside from the outside of the barrel with wire, causing the gunpowder to leak out in the medicine pot, and then the front flag army pulled the trigger, with a snort of gunpowder ignition, a single rocket was blown out.

Immediately after that, the flag army turned the quiver and stabbed the rockets in turn, and the front flag army pulled the trigger again and again, and in the blink of an eye, sixteen rockets successively dragged out with a shrill and ran out in an irregular trajectory, exploding fifty or sixty paces away, and slag, gravel, iron pieces and gunpowder smoke flew everywhere.

There is no technical difficulty in the Thunderbolt launcher, and it is easy to make rockets, and Zhao Shizhen's small toy actually used Bali for the first time, I am afraid he couldn't even imagine it.

The rocket crossed the front of the enemy army and pursued the most ferocious regular army, and landed in the formation of a large number of natives and young men behind it, and immediately exploded a ghost crying wolf howl.

It is difficult for this thing to kill people directly, but it is a good trick to create panic on the battlefield, sixteen rockets exploded in the enemy formation, it is difficult to be killed directly, but it is even more difficult to be unscathed, and the enemy army was shocked for a while, and even the regular army that rushed to the front looked behind him.

Seeing that the thunderbolt was killing well, Liu Baihu ordered expressionlessly: "Raise the gun!" ”

The small flags of each department successively ordered, the first dozen or so flag soldiers raised their bird guns to aim at the enemy, and after the small flag officer gave the order, a row of gunpowder smoke rose from the front of the formation, followed by the second row of flag troops to raise the bird guns and follow the military order to shoot.

Their experience and training are incomparable to the Banshu army behind them, and their movements are coherent and their hearts are like stopping water, and this kind of battle is like a game for them who resist the Mongolian cavalry and survive, and they shoot out the three-wheeled bird gun in an instant.

This inflicted great casualties on the regular Majapahit army, but there were still many of them, shouting and rushing forward, especially a squad of more than thirty men.

Either the bird guns, or the old firearms used by the Yuan army when they entered the Koumanchu Boyi in the past, were all newly made and had no improvements, and they were carried up by these sergeants, intending to launch a blow at the Banzhou army from thirty paces away.

In fact, when they found Liu Baihu and the others a hundred steps away, they had already let go of a burst of guns, but first, the guns couldn't hit so far, and second, the crowd in front of them was in chaos by the thunderbolt collapse, and they didn't even have the effect of shock.

What's more, even if there are only 100 people in the Nanyang Banner Army, it is impossible to be suppressed by the old firecracker.

The three rounds of bird guns brought a lot of casualties to the enemy, and before the smoke of gunfire was over, the two general flags had jumped out with swords, and the flag army behind them put down the bird guns and drew their waist handcuffs to aim at the approaching enemy troops, and released two rounds of fire again.

The handcuff has always been an embarrassing weapon for Chen Mujun, even if it has a short range and small power, it is as slow to charge as a bird, so it is a disposable weapon in every battle. Even so, not many people actually use it.

For a firepower monster like the Nanyang Banner Army, few enemies can carry a cannon into a range of thirty paces, and they are often beaten and cried by a bird gun fifty steps away.

This time it was different, the Majapahit Army, who was beaten by the thunderbolt, saw that the Banzhou army had few soldiers, and rushed forward thirty steps one by one, so that the handcuffs gave Liu Baihu a good face.

All the guns simply drove the enemy back!

"What are you waiting for!" Liu Baihu turned around and shouted to Yang Zhaolong: "Son, don't hurry up and push out the two-pound cannon with good shots, if you don't fight at this time, when will you wait!" ”
