Chapter 1277: Slaughter
At this time.
Chang Pingwei stopped advancing.
This sudden movement made the Spaniard on the other side feel strange.
Next, they raised their guns one after another.
Uncle Fang's 1512 reinforced muskets were raised one after another.
The swarthy muzzle of the gun was aimed at the Spanish infantry opposite.
Sir Francisco had long been aware that the other side also had powerful firearms.
This added another haze to his trip to the Ming Dynasty.
But...... When he saw such a distance, the other party raised his musket, Sir Francisco breathed a sigh of relief.
The other side was in a bit of a hurry, which was not at all within the range of fire.
You know, the arquebus, which has the fastest rate of fire, uses iron bars to reload, and the arquebus also takes a few minutes to reload.
Therefore, this is a precious opportunity for a good commander to order fire when he accurately determines that the opponent has reached his best range.
The Ming army is really not skilled enough.
Sir Francisco thought so much to himself, and he cried out, "Soldiers, go on." ”
Advance!
The artillery fire has stopped, after all, the two sides are getting closer and closer, and rash artillery fire will cause accidental injuries.
But at this moment......
Bang Bang ......
Countless Uncle Fang's Model 1512 muskets erupted flames from the muzzle.
No......
It's not this that really strained.
But...... The soldiers in the first row lay down.
The soldiers of the second row crouched on the ground.
The soldiers in the third row are cat-waisted.
The soldiers in the fourth row stood up straight.
Four rows of soldiers, with simultaneous salvos.
More than 2,000 people, neatly and neatly, exactly four rows.
Countless bullets, whizzing out.
Smoke fills the air.
And in an instant, the Spanish soldiers a hundred paces away fell as if they were cutting wheat.
In an instant, hundreds of people were killed and wounded.
“……”
Sir Francisco was stunned.
Is there such a fight?
Shouldn't it be, the first row fires, the second row loads, and the third row continues to load...... Then, take turns shooting.
This method was chosen because arquebuses had a long time to reload, and only in this way could they ensure a continuous output of firepower.
Like the Spaniards, they had more than a thousand arquebusiers, but each salvo could only maintain the size of three or four hundred.
But...... The opposite side actually came directly to the salvo.
Whoop......
Uh......h
Around, there were wails everywhere.
Countless people wept bitterly.
Francisco never expected that the opponent's musket would have such a long range.
At this point, the queue is already more chaotic.
These brave soldiers suddenly realized something.
And immediately afterwards, the opponent did not give the Spaniard any respite.
The soldiers of the fourth platoon of Changping Wei quickly pulled the bolt, loaded the bullets that had been prepared into the bomb bay, pulled the bolt, and then ......
It's a suffocating operation.
Bang Bang ......
Before the Spaniards could react, another volley was fired.
More people are falling.
The Spanish soldiers were completely panicked.
Before the enemy was within his range, the opponent's bullets were constantly coming.
The snapping gunshot sounded like a life talisman.
Some Spaniards began to lie down.
Someone tried to back off.
There are still people moving forward.
The whole phalanx, complete chaos.
The most fearful thing about people is the unknown, and the unknown enemy is extremely terrifying, because you can never figure out the other party's routine, and you don't know how the other party will play their cards.
That's what happened to the Spaniards now.
didn't wait to get closer, and was beaten down.
Gunfire erupted.
Sir Francisco was already frightened.
He looked incredulously at the enemy in front of him.
This short distance of dozens of steps is like a moat for him.
And the other party ...... It's a crazy catharsis of bullets.
Uncle Fang's 1512 musket, the most terrifying of this kind of rear-loading flintlock pistol, can be easily reloaded.
As a result, countless Spaniards fell in pools of blood, and the remaining people subconsciously began to look for cover.
And once you find cover, then ...... This means that they are completely finished.
The most fatal weakness of the arquebus is that it needs to be loaded with gunpowder and bullets, and because most of the arquebuses have extremely long barrels, when loading, it is necessary to use a iron bar, that is, an iron bar, inserted into the barrel, to compact the gunpowder.
It is very troublesome to reload ammunition when a person is lying down, or in other words, the length of a person's arm is too limited to do this.
At this time, the crackling of gunfire continued.
Under Zhu Houzhao's orders, Changpingwei began to advance, and they moved forward step by step, loading ammunition and shooting at the same time.
Sir Francisco did not realize until this moment that he had seen hell.
He remembered Wang Xizuo.
Thinking of Wang Xizuo's honest smile......
The soldiers around him were constantly being shot.
The bullets landed, splattered stones, raised dust, pierced the bodies of countless people, and splattered blood.
Finished.
No one is immune.
It was a one-sided massacre because ...... Francisco realized that even if he wanted to retreat, there was no way for him to retreat.
He became desperate, so he roared: "Go forward......"
It's a pity...... No one dared to move forward anymore.
………………
Emperor Hongzhi held a telescope and looked at the city.
From the beginning of the pinching sweat, and then ...... Emperor Hongji's expression began to become strange.
What he saw was not a battle at all.
And like a flock of sheep, locked up by lions, and then slaughtered unilaterally.
All...... It's like in a dream.
He saw a man in the Spanish phalanx falling, bleeding profusely.
Thereupon...... He hurriedly turned his direction and looked at the soldiers of Changpingwei.
The soldiers were carrying a kind of long, narrow firearms...... Because it's too far away, you can't really see it.
However, Emperor Hongzhi was almost certain that this was a very sharp divine weapon.
Just before, Changpingwei, who was just a group of sheep, was reborn now.
They kept moving forward, shooting and killing those who tried to get up in vain and try to flee reflexively.
As a result, fewer and fewer Spaniards stood up, and occasionally Spaniards stood up, and soon shot into a hornet's nest.
And that's when ......
He saw a heroic figure.
With musket fire everywhere, a man, on horseback, with a majestic self-rear, carrying a long knife, like a valiant knight, rushed to the front of the flank.
Is that...... Fang Jifan......
looked at Fang Jifan's heroic appearance...... Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt a sense of anger.
The successor is still very ......... Heroic.
As Chang Pingwei approached step by step.
They stopped firing, after which they raised the bayonets on their muskets, the bayonets of the snowy ......
The Spaniards on the ground also tried to stand up and fight the approaching Ming army.
But...... The soldiers of Changpingwei did not give them any chance, and the bayonets stabbed down fiercely.
Soon, the body of the person on the ground who wanted to roll over began to shake, and finally ...... There was no more sound.
"Come, old man take a look, old man take a look."
Behind him, someone was holding a telescope, and the telescope in his hand was about to be snatched over.
But the person with the telescope refused to give it, and dragged his telescope to death.
"Master Wang, why are you so stingy."
The person holding the telescope was Wang Bushi, Wang Bushi said: "This telescope was bought from Gonggong Xiao, a thousand taels of silver, you don't buy it yourself, why did you come to grab it?" ”
The man showed a look of shame on his face, but he was not convinced, and he was probably muttering in his heart, is it great to have money, hum.
The rest of the hundred officials couldn't see what was happening below, but they all looked at Xiao Jing with a look of resentment.
Xiao Jing smiled and said: "Yes, yes, the telescope is some, only a thousand taels of silver, yes, yes, it's so exciting, it's so exciting, you can't see it, this ...... It's an eye-opener, it's ...... Simply ......"
As he spoke, he held up a telescope to look down at the city.
The officials listened to it and scratched their hearts like a hundred claws.
But...... One thousand taels of silver, on the market, a telescope, it's only three taels, why don't you grab it?
Shen Wen couldn't hold it back.
His son-in-law is still in the city, and he doesn't know what to do. And...... The son-in-law still owes himself silver, and he doesn't know if he will pay it back in the future, so he stomped his feet anxiously, and was reluctant to buy a telescope, so he said, "Your Majesty ......"
Emperor Hongzhi held the telescope and seemed to be very fascinated, and from time to time he made strange sounds such as 'hey' and 'ah'.
"Your Majesty, Gonggong Xiao, he is simply messing around, and you don't care about it, Your Majesty." Shen Wen is a relative of the emperor, but he is not afraid of Xiao Jing, and it is inevitable that he will speak up.
The officials nodded one after another, although they were silent, but their eyes seemed to say, yes, Xiao Jing, this old dog, is not a good thing.
Emperor Hongzhi was still unconscious, and let out a smack sound: "Okay, okay...... There is great merit, there is great merit...... Bad...... Succession, succession of the domain, he ......"
As soon as I heard the word Jifan, someone finally couldn't help it.
"I'll buy it." It's Ma Wensheng.
Ma Wensheng said: "I owe it." ”
Xiao Jing cheered up: "It's okay to owe it, the interest rate of Xishan Qianzhuang." ”
Ma Wensheng: "......"
Fortunately, a few days ago, Ma Wensheng earned a sum of money in the stock of Happiness Group, he is the secretary of the Ministry of War, how can he be indifferent to the war in front of him.
Finally, he gritted his teeth: "Okay." ”
Xiao Jing snapped his fingers, and we have a eunuch who has taken a new telescope.
Ma Wensheng took it, sighed in his heart, and was busy holding the telescope and looking down.
Really...... He saw Fang Jifan at a glance.
Fang Jifan was too outstanding, everyone else was on foot, only he was riding on a horse, waving a war knife in his hand, and galloping with a roar...... Well? What about the Spaniards?
As soon as he looked down, he realized that the Spaniards were lying on the ground, almost helpless.
"Qi Guogong, it's really heroic, it seems like this, but I don't know how many beheadings he has beheaded."
This time, Emperor Hongzhi seemed to hear it sincerely, and said with interest: "Seventeen." ”
Shen Wen was angry, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to ......."
"Yike...... "Emperor Hongzhi began to wander again, and a strange sound came out of his mouth.
