"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The gunshots came and went in the first line of defense of Jilong Harbor, and Li Tianyang did not equip the arquebus in the naval battle, because Li Tianyang was ready to fight hand-to-hand combat, so the arquebus would bring a lot of inconvenience to the Hongmen soldiers compared to cold weapons.

In the end, Li Tianyang handed over all the arquebuses in his hands to the defense forces and the Public Security Bureau, as well as the soldiers of the special operations battalion.

The training of the defense force is naturally much weaker than that of Hong Tang, but Li Tianyang and the others have never been stingy in teaching everyone the operation methods of new firearms, because he understands that firearms will inevitably be the protagonists of the battlefield in the future, and the early start of training will naturally give them a little more opportunity.

Not to mention, after equipping the arquebus into the hands of the defense team, it really gave the defense team some combat effectiveness, at least compared to fighting with real knives and guns, facing the emotional fluctuations between life and death hiding behind a fortification, slowly aiming and shooting, but it can somewhat calm the soldiers of the defense team.

Of course, most of the first-time soldiers of the defense force are really bad enough to shoot, and they can deviate to targets more than ten feet away, but they still make a lot of contributions to the first line of defense.

The soldiers of the special operations battalion, the arquebus in their hands is a flintlock spear carefully created for them by the Bengang Research and Development Institute, although I don't know if it is the first team in the whole world to be equipped with a flintlock lance, but it is definitely the first team in the Eastern world to be equipped with a flintlock lance.

The biggest difference between flintlock pistols and ordinary arquebuses is that there is no problem of ignition of open flames, and there is no need to ignite the arquebus above the butt with flint and incense sticks while aiming.

Another obvious difference is that the flintlock spear that they have improved and developed can achieve a success rate of about 80%, which is much higher than the success rate of arquebuses at 50%.

At the same time, the flintlock pistol also significantly accelerated the speed at which the fighters could reload their ammunition.

It takes about two minutes for ordinary arquebuses to complete the steps of clearing, burying medicine, loading, and adding arquebuses, which is also an important reason why arquebuses have not been officially recognized by the Ming Dynasty and have been gradually abandoned.

However, the flintlock spear equipped with the special operations battalion has shortened the time to reload ammunition and shoot within one minute, and even the most skilled shooter in the special operations battalion can shoot twice a minute, which is of great significance to the musket!

The only reason why Hongmen has not been able to replace all of these flintlock spears is that they are limited by the unique craftsmanship of flintlock pistols, as well as the drag of vital raw materials such as hammers and reeds, which can only be created one by one by the exquisite craftsmen of the craftsman's workshop!

With a special operations battalion with flintlock spears, it can be said that it is like a fish in water, which is also the reason why Li Tianyang dared to send this team to the frontal battlefield to fight with the Flying Dragon Gang. The three-stage shot, combined with the easier and more sophisticated way of firing the flintlock lance, gave the arquebus more overall lethality than the bow for the first time.

The distance of less than a hundred zhang, in the eyes of the Flying Dragon Gang pirates at this time, was as far away as a moat, and the sound of musket shooting one after another made the Flying Dragon Gang soldiers rush to the halfway, and then their bodies fell to the ground and convulsed, gradually waiting for death.

Zheng Zhibao was brave enough to rush to the front line with his gang, and he was also the first target to be targeted by the soldiers of the special operations battalion, and he didn't know where he fell in this area at this time.

Without the leadership of Zheng Zhibao, the prestige leader of the house, several other small leaders couldn't hold back the scene to be honest, and soon, the offensive of the Flying Dragon Gang was beaten back by the Hongmen soldiers.

While Zheng Zhilong was attacking the Hongmen fleet at sea, he did not forget to pay attention to the war on land, and when he found that the offensive of the people still on land had been frustrated, he couldn't help but start scolding his mother!

However, he knew his cousin's strength and character, he had always been a master who dared to fight, and now he was repelled by the defenders of Chicken Coop Harbor, which showed that they were really strong in resistance.

Even across the sea, Zheng Zhilong could hear and see the continuous sound of gunfire outside the chicken coop harbor, as well as the sound of muffled grenades.

The more the Hongmen warriors did not hesitate to defend against the attacks of their own gangs on land, the more Zheng Zhilong felt that the Hongmen had reached the verge of collapse, and maybe as long as he used his own strength, he would be able to open the gate of Jilong Harbor.

There was a dim fire everywhere outside the Chicken Coop Harbor, and it was already night, and the dim starlight and moonlight in the sky were not enough to illuminate the entire battlefield.

For Zheng Zhilong, this is the last great opportunity for him to take a risk.

Influenced by the tough combat style of the natives, and the damage caused by Wu Juren's rough use of the "Yang Fan" warships in order to make up for the weak relationship between the natives in operating Western-style warships, the eight warships now not only have hidden dangers in their hulls, but also lose more than half of the rabbit spirit warriors on board.

Rather than throwing less than a thousand soldiers into the fierce battle now, it is better to block the retreat of the Wyvern Gang and let it be eaten away by the Hongmen step by step.

Hongmen generally have a superstition about Li Tianyang from the heart, believing that many of the things Li Tianyang said will be transformed into reality.

In the dark night, Wu Juren, who was hanging alone, couldn't figure out the situation on the battlefield, and finally out of trust in Li Tianyang, he followed his instructions and kept guarding the retreat of the Flying Dragon Gang.

However, how did he know that in fact, the strength of the Hongmen fleet at sea can be said to be at a critical juncture.

After all, it is a team composed of a group of remnants and recruits, and it is not easy for Wu Jie and them to lead the team to hold on until now. According to Wu Jie and Zhao Xingdou's estimates, in half an hour, their team positions will be destroyed by the Wyvern Gang, and they can only retreat to the dock, relying on the familiar terrain and fortifications to entangle with the other party.

However, soon, Wu Jie and the others discovered an obvious problem, it seemed that there was also a problem with the Flying Dragon Gang that launched the attack, and their offensive was weakened a lot at once, giving the Hongmen front, which was struggling to support it, a little respite.

Although I don't know whether the Flying Dragon Gang is making plan adjustments, or if they are really sleepy and have reduced their offensive, as long as it is a change that is beneficial to Hongmen at this time, it is all good, Wu Jie and they are naturally happy to let the follow-up toss how to toss, and they can just take this opportunity to adjust the deployment.
