Chapter 444: Thoughts Fly
Those Houjin soldiers who went out to pursue the spy platoon without authorization paid a heavy price for their recklessness.
More than 160 flintlock muskets fired at dozens of Houjin troops with short weapons at a very close distance.
Although it is a smoothbore gun, in this position, the 18.5mm caliber flintlock pistol does not have any lack of accuracy or bullshit about the ammunition stopping effect is not enough.
The enemies who came out of the chase were all knocked down by this fierce salvo, and they could no longer stand up.
And the soldiers of the three infantry platoons, after firing such a volley and making the surrounding area smuffled, immediately stood up and began to run towards their own infantry formation like the soldiers of the three special service platoons who had retreated before.
The Houjin infantry was in a large formation that was embarrassed by a series of blows, and the Houjin officers were stunned for a while, then looked at Duoduo's location and waited for orders.
At this moment, Duoduo's face was pale, he never expected that the more than two hundred Huaxia Army stragglers who had not been taken into his eyes would have such powerful firepower.
He also thought that the Huaxia Army was just like him, sending stragglers to carry out sporadic harassment, preparing to disrupt the rhythm of his own attack, where would he have thought that such a thing would happen.
He glanced at his array and saw that in just a short tea hour, at least three hundred of his men had fallen.
However, this is not the main reason for his blue face, although this short exchange of fire is a great shame for his side, but at the same time, it also exposes the foundation of the Huaxia army.
That is, the other side actually has a firearm that can fire 7 or 8 times in a row.
To tell the truth, Duoduo has seen a lot of repeating firearms, from the three-eyed guns and hundred tigers running arrows that the Guanning army is equipped with a large number of, to the thunderbolts and tiger wings and other things that the elders in the clan say, he has really seen a lot of firearms.
However, he had never seen a thing like today, where a single tube could fire 7 or 8 leads in a row.
And, the most important thing is that the accuracy of the opponent's firearm is far beyond that of the three-eyed gun, and the range is far beyond the tiger's wing, which is simply incredible.
This kind of thing, let alone seeing it, I've never even heard of it!
Therefore, at this moment, Duoduo's face turned blue, in addition to feeling ashamed, the most important reason was that in the short tea time just now, he felt a deep fear.
The Huaxia Army, who has this kind of terrifying firearm, is no different from the devil in his eyes.
If the Huaxia Army is equipped with a large number of such firearms, then what is the matter with their Dajin Kingdom?
Immediately, however, Dodor reacted.
Yes, if Huaxia is really equipped with a large number of such firearms, then why is it still shrinking to the opposite position and not coming out?
Also, a total of 6 teams of the Huaxia Army came out just now, but only 3 of them used the kind of firearms that could be fired continuously, and the other half of the people and horses all used that kind of ordinary muskets!
So, does it mean that the construction of such firearms is very cumbersome, or very expensive?
Troublesome, or so expensive that with Huaxia's financial resources, can only be equipped with a small amount of that kind of firearms?
Thinking of this, Duoduo's face slowly began to return to normal.
Duoduo, who had walked out of the dead end, finally returned to his usual level.
Although after clarifying his thoughts, Duoduo was no longer afraid, but today's unfinished battle really gave him a baptism.
In the past, he had always been very disgusted with his own firearms.
Because, in the previous ten years of confrontation with the Ming army, he clearly felt that the rate of fire of bows and arrows far exceeded the rate of fire of various firearms of the Ming army.
Moreover, as the internal corruption of the Ming Kingdom became more and more serious, the quality of the firearms created became worse and worse, and slowly, the power of Houjin's bows and arrows far exceeded those burning sticks that were more and more perfunctory.
Therefore, he has reason to look down on firearms, Wu Zhenchaoha, who was equipped by Huang Taiji, and Kong Youde, who are in the New Han Army.
However, after experiencing today's unfinished war, he has not even touched the hair of the Huaxia Army, and he has found a lot of different things.
The Huaxia Army in front of us is a strict formation, strictly disciplined, well-equipped, outstanding, and high-morale, and everything shows that the Huaxia Army in front of us and the Ming Army are two completely different teams.
Duoduo had a clear understanding that the Huaxia Army and the Ming Army were completely different from each other. It's a tough rival.
Although Duoduo really didn't want to fight anymore in his heart, it was up to him to decide whether to fight or not.
The current situation is that there is a blockade in front and then chasing soldiers, just the thousand numbers in front of him, less than 2,000 people, he is fighting so hard, if there are more than 2,000 Chinese infantry behind to catch up, what it will be like, he can't imagine it.
If he doesn't want to fight again, unless he surrenders to the Huaxia army on the opposite side, he may still be able to survive.
But how could he be a shameless surrender to the enemy, and he was not a cheeky guy like Mang Gurtai, who could not do anything to surrender an army composed of his slave rebellion.
Therefore, now Duoduo really has no other way but to make a desperate bet and continue to fight, and there is no second way.
This series of thoughts seems to be very large and chaotic, but in fact, it has not been long.
After all, the Huaxia muskets on the opposite side were still firing, and even if Duoduo wanted to think about it, the right wing of the 1st Mixed Brigade led by Zachdan would not give him this opportunity.
When the enemy stops, it's simply the best target, and a fool will let go of such a good target.
In just a few moments, a large number of unlucky people fell in the Houjin Army array.
This made the Houjin officers even more restless, and the guys who were closer to Duoduo hurriedly rushed over and called out to Duoduo's side.
"Master!"
"Master!"
"Lord Belle!"
"Lord Belle!"
The cries of the soldiers were mixed in with the screams of the soldiers, and it was very noisy, and Dodor immediately came to his senses.
Seeing the inquiring eyes of several officers around him, Duoduo rebuked him unceremoniously.
"What are you doing there? Waiting to be besieged here? Do you want to go home? ”
Dodor's words worked immediately, and a group of officers, as well as the Bayaras who were standing at the end of the line, as overseers, immediately went into action.
They drove the whole team and continued to advance towards the Huaxia army.
