Chapter Seventy-Five: The Peng Family's Toast II
It's just that the accuracy of the rocket slip is too poor, so the method of using the rocket slip is that a number of mountain soldiers carry rockets and launchers on their backs, and after arriving at the predetermined location, they swing a row of rocket launchers in a row, put the rockets on them, and then ignite. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Twelve mountain soldiers planted twelve rockets, aimed them at the cottage, and then lit the fuse behind the rockets.
"Whoosh" The whistling sound of a row of rockets, twelve rockets spitting tongues of fire, dragging white smoke, roared towards the cottage. To tell the truth, the accuracy of the rocket slip is really poor, and many rockets flew into the sky, spun, deviated from the course, and fell to the ground halfway; And some rockets don't know where they flew. However, five rockets still landed in the cottage, two of which hit the wall, blowing up the wall made of mud bricks; Three other rockets fell behind the wall and exploded, knocking over more than a dozen soldiers.
The power of the rocket lies in the fact that the reload speed is very fast. Just after the first round, the rocketeers took the new rockets from the auxiliaries, stepped forward and placed the rockets on the slightly hot copper launcher, and completed the loading.
The rocketeer with a torch lit the rocket fuse next to him, and the lead coated with nitrate powder "swished" burned and jumped, gradually burrowing into the tail nozzle of the rocket. Immediately after that, another line of rockets took off into the air, pulled out a low and straight trajectory, and burrowed into the cottage. Although the hit rate was less than 40%, the rocket fired four rounds in a row, and the mortar gun fired only one round.
The Ming army carried out eight rounds of rocket bombardment and two rounds of flowering shells, and the wall was already blown to pieces.
"We can't be beaten like this anymore! Must rush down! Otherwise, we're all going to be blown up! Peng Hu shouted, pulled out his Miao knife and pointed down the mountain, "Brothers, kill down the mountain and kill the false Ming traitor!" ”
The gate of the cottage opened, and about 500 Qing soldiers rushed out of the gate of the village and killed the Ming army under the mountain.
"Good time!" Ma Hongyi sneered and ordered, "Line up, prepare to meet the enemy!" ”
The Ba mountain soldiers lined up in a neat formation, with musketeers in front, pikemen in the back, and sharpshooters and rifled spear skirmishers on both wings, ready to meet the attack of the Qing army's native soldiers.
Before the Qing army's Miao soldiers rushed within the range of the bow and arrow, the rifled gunners of the Ming army's Ba people and mountain soldiers had already opened fire, and fifty rifled gunners pulled the trigger one after another, and at a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, the muskets spewed fire. A row of gunshots sounded, and more than 20 Miao Tu soldiers spewed blood mist and fell halfway. The rifled gunner then stepped back, nervously reloading. Several mortars and rockets of the Ming army turned around and aimed at the Qing army.
The mortar cannon roared, the rocket roared, and the accuracy was not high, but it still knocked down more than 50 Miao Tu soldiers.
"Quick, rush forward!" Peng Hu shouted, "If you rush closer, the thief's firearms will be useless!" ”
Fifty archers drew their bows and arrows, and rows of arrows were fired. These Ba native archers are all from Orion, they used to use hunting bows, and now after changing to pulley bows, their power has increased greatly, and their archery skills are honestly not lost to the elite Eight Banner soldiers, sharp arrows are shot, and many Miao Tu soldiers are unwilling to fall halfway.
Although the pulley compound bow has a long range and the force of opening the bow is also much saved, the rate of fire is slower. After the archer shoots one round, he opens his bow and shoots another round, and his opponent will get close to him.
Peng Hu's Miao Tubing finally got a chance to play, and the Miao Tubing stretched out their bows and arrows, shooting rows of feather arrows. However, the arrow was shot at the white pole soldier wearing rattan armor, and the white pole soldier was unscathed.
"Fire!" Ma Hongyi roared.
The Ba people and the mountain soldiers raised their muskets, a row of flintlock guns spewed fire, and the Miao soldiers who only had simple bamboo armor on their bodies were shot one after another, and fell down one after another.
The white pole soldier standing in front took out the grenade from his waist, pulled the string, and threw it at the Qing army Miao Tu soldier who had rushed to within thirty paces. Only a series of explosions were heard, the flames were continuous, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the sound of rolling thunderous explosions sounded, and rows of Miao Tu soldiers fell in the billowing smoke.
"Damn, how can a thief's artillery shoot at such close range? Or do you bloom shells and you won't hurt your own people? Seeing his native soldiers fall under the "flowering cannonballs" in pieces, Peng Hu was terrified.
Miao Tubing couldn't resist anymore, so they turned around and ran.
"Chase!" Ma Hongyi gave an order.
Three hundred white-pole soldiers chased after the Miao Tu soldiers, and the neat spears were like the letters of poisonous snakes, stabbing the Miao Tu soldiers running behind one after another.
The Miao Tubing, who ran fast, fled into the cottage, closed the gate of the village, and left more than 100 Miao Tubing behind behind.
The Ming army rushed up, and the Miao Tubing who were locked out of the door had no way to enter the sky and no door, so they could only surrender on their knees.
The battle came to this point, and Peng Hu knew very well in his heart that he had indeed underestimated the Ming army. At this time, he regretted it, why did he listen to the words of the great toast Peng Ding and resolutely resist the Ming army? It's just that there is no regret medicine in this world, and the Ming army with absolute strength has already begun to attack the cottage, and it is too late for him to surrender at this time. He had heard others say that when the time for the Ming army to give others an ultimatum was up, if they didn't surrender, then the Ming army wouldn't mind killing the Qing army's guards!
In order for his family to survive, Peng Hu had to fight hard. It's really unwilling to die like this, what if you fight it? Maybe he'll survive.
"I'd rather be broken than broken, Lao Tzu wants to die, and he has to be buried with thousands of people in the village!" Peng Hu's brain suddenly became evil, he brandished his war knife, and yelled at Peng Zhong beside him: "Quickly organize all men!" No, the elderly, children, and women also have to go up to the wall to block these bright dogs outside! ”
Miao Tubing pulled out all the Miao people in the cottage and shouted: "Master Tusi has an order!" Men, women and children in the village must go up to block the Ming dog Han people! If the Minggou Han people break through the village, no one will want to live! The Ming dog Han people are even more fierce than the Manchu and Mongolian Tatars in the north! ”
The people in the village were pulled out, and the Miao people looked at the Ming army that was attacking the hillside, and many people's eyes were full of doubts and puzzles: they only had a few Han people, most of them were Ba people, Yao people, and even Miao people like themselves! They broke through the cottage, will they kill themselves? But everyone knows that with the old and weak women and children, how can they resist the white pole soldiers who have been powerful in the world more than 20 years ago?
Seeing the hesitant eyes of the people in the village, Peng Hu shouted: "Those Miao people are traitors to the Miao people!" They shamelessly took refuge in the Han and Ba people! They're even more cruel to us! Block them! Otherwise, even if you don't die, you will become their slaves! You will make cattle and horses for them for the rest of their lives, and eventually they will die of exhaustion in the mountains! ”
