Chapter 340: Attack on the North Sea No. 5
Looking at the Eight Banners cavalry that fell in pieces like harvested weeds, Xiao Gongchen only felt that his blood was full of blood, and his blood was boiling. He secretly said in his heart: If I had such a sharp weapon back then, why would I let Jiannu occupy the Central Plains! I'm afraid that even the old slave and Huang Taiji have been beaten to minced meat!
The machine cannon is infinitely powerful, and once hit by a cannonball, the men and horses are shattered, turning into a canopy of scattered blood mist.
The four machine guns and two machine guns were strategically placed at six different points to form crossfire, which could mercilessly slaughter the enemy who fell into the fire net.
Wu Bin shook the handle of the four-barreled machine gun, and with each rotation of the handle, the connecting rod and cam drove four sets of firing devices in turn, constantly hitting the primer and throwing out the shells at the same time. The two platoons above the bolt feed were constantly shortening, and the hot shells rained down on the snow. The loader was in a hurry, constantly unplugging the finished cartridge and inserting a new one to maintain the continuity of the machine gun fire.
"Be careful, don't shake too fast, watch out for the barrel to be hot!" An officer shouted.
Although the barrel is made of the latest technology of this era and is made of fine steel, it is still not as good as the barrel of later generations, if the machine gunner is red-eyed and shakes the handle too fast, the barrel will quickly become hot, and in serious cases, the bullet will jam and even cause an explosion.
Four machine guns and two machine guns, even in the future, are extremely powerful existences, even if 10,000 modern infantry can block them, they will suffer heavy losses under this kind of firepower, not to mention the cavalry of this era. Even such primitive machine guns and machine guns are not trivial. Not to mention, in addition to four machine guns and two machine guns, there were rifles in the hands of infantrymen, artillery artillery.
Looking at the Eight Banners cavalry that kept falling, He Tuo felt deep despair. In his impression, a firearm is fired once, and it takes a long time to load, unless it is a swarm of rockets from the Ming army. However, the rocket has a large dispersion area and poor accuracy, so it has no effect at close range. Now they have come across a weapon that can be fired continuously at close range, and the fire has never stopped for a moment, even if it is a swarm of rockets, there is time to stop and reload! There is no such devilish firearm, as if it can't be finished, constantly wielding the scythe of death, and reaping life to the fullest.
The Eight Banners cavalry finally felt desperate and frightened, and they turned their heads one after another, desperately riding their horses to escape from this terrible killing field. But at this time, there were less than a thousand cavalry left of the five thousand Eight Banners!
In fact, even if they continued to rush forward, they would be able to break through the fire interception of machine guns and machine guns, and there would be a large number of infantry in front of them. The Minnie riflemen had bayonets on their guns, and they could fight near and far, as well as the knife soldiers carrying six-wheeled pistols and grenades, and if the Eight Banners rushed to the front, they could only be killed.
Tu Hai had just left the city when he saw the Eight Banners cavalry rushing up, and he didn't have time to stop it. But after a while, he only saw the Eight Banners cavalry being slaughtered like pigs and dogs, and he only felt that his heart was dripping blood.
Less than a thousand Eight Banner cavalry fled back in embarrassment, Chang Ning passed by Tu Hai and shouted: "Master Tu, go quickly!" ”
The Eight Banners ran away, and the Han Eight Banners, who were originally supervising the battle behind the Clothed Soldiers, also turned around, spread their legs and fled back to the city quickly, and the remaining Clothed Soldiers turned around and wanted to run, but the cannonballs and bullets chased their buttocks and shot over, knocking down a large number of them.
Xiao Gongchen ordered the machine guns and machine guns to stop firing, he knew that although these weapons were powerful, they were also very delicate, and if the shooting time was a little longer, the barrel would be hot, and the barrel life was not long, a barrel would wear out the rifling after firing about a thousand rounds, and the barrel needed to be replaced. These barrels were so expensive that Zheng Zheng couldn't produce them himself, so he had to transport them from the south. In addition, these machine guns and machine guns consume too much ammunition, and the number of shells and bullets is limited, so they cannot be produced by themselves, and need to be transported over long distances.
However, these big killing weapons had a shocking effect on the Qing soldiers in the city, and presumably the Qing soldiers would not dare to go out of the city to face the battle again.
In fact, machine guns and machine guns not only shocked the Qing soldiers in the city, but also greatly shocked the Russian troops in the city.
The Russian officers who stood at the head of the city to watch the battle picked up the binoculars and looked at the fierce battle, and at first they only felt that the opponent was just more powerful artillery. Seeing the back, when he saw a large number of clothed soldiers falling in front of the barbed wire, the Russian officer Chernyaev turned his head and said: "It seems that the barbed wire and trench tactics of the Ming people are very effective. It's just hard to figure out how their rifles could be so fast? Rifles are hard to load, and they can do that. ”
"Maybe there's something wrong with their rifles." Another Russian officer said.
Next, the Russians' barbed wire fence was filled with the corpses of the clothed soldiers, and the Eight Banners cavalry were seen rushing up. The Russians also thought that this round of charge of the Eight Banners Cavalry would inevitably break through the Ming army's defensive line. But the next scene made the Russian army stunned: I saw that six tongues of fire suddenly spit out from the Ming army's position, and then two strange sounds sounded, and the group of Eight Banner cavalry seemed to hit an invisible wall and fell in front of the position.
"Could it be that the Ming people have muskets that can be fired continuously? That's horrible, too! Chernyaev put down his binoculars and turned his head with a solemn face.
"I know that the Ming people have a firearm that launches very quickly, which is a swarm of rockets. But this time I didn't see them launch rockets at all, they looked like a kind of gun! This gun can shoot continuously! It's horrible! The face of the Russian officer on the side had changed.
Chernyaev said: "There are many incredible things for the Ming people, listening to those Tatars, the Ming people have fire dragon warships that can walk automatically on the water, as well as fire dragon cars that walk on land!" A Tatar spy in the south saw that the dragon chariot walked on two railroad tracks, ran faster than a horse, and could run on its own without being pulled by a horse. On the surface of the water, there are dragon boats, emitting black smoke, running on their own, it's terrible! I don't know what kind of magic they used! ”
"Maybe it's not magic, maybe it's a new technology." The officer on the side said.
Chernyaev said: "We must figure out these things as soon as possible, and we must also imitate these warships, as well as the weapons of the Ming people!" So that we can sweep across the continent and trample all those people in Western Europe under our feet! First of all, Turkey must be destroyed! ”
At this time, the fierce battle has come to an end, the abandoned clothed soldiers could not all run away, more than 300 Ming army breeched gunners rode on horses and rushed out, shot with guns from a distance, approached with knives to chop, leaving many clothed soldiers in front of the position.
