Chapter 258: The Fruits of Victory

Tang Jinyi said with a smile: "You focused on archery, you definitely didn't see the raft slightly upturned when the two women fell, so her position became a little lower." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"That's the case, count her lucky. Chang Wei shook his head.

As he spoke, the march of the musketeers of "Di Di ~ Di Di ~ Da Da, Di Di ~ Di Di ~ Da Da ~ Da Da" was already sounding at the edge of the swamp.

"Let's go, it's time for us to pick up the fruits of victory. "When I walked out of the valley, I saw the musket team striding towards the swamp in a dense formation, where hundreds of thieves were crowding in the camp.

Suddenly, the music changed, and the musketeers stopped advancing and stood with their guns armed, but the order to aim and shoot was not given.

A few simple orders were transmitted, and the rear gunners carried small and light Tiger squat guns and ran to the musketeers and arranged three rows of improvised artillery positions of twenty guns each.

Chang Wei saw Li Hong, the No. 2 gunner of the Volunteer Battalion, holding a thousand-mile barrel while observing, and shouted: "The distance is one hundred and twenty steps, and the standard elevation angle is standard." ”

Carrying the red flag, the herald ran quickly past the artillery position, repeating Li Hong's order.

"One hundred and twenty paces away, standard elevation angle. ”

The artillery positions, which were the main attack, immediately became operational.

"Aim at the target!"

"Calibrate the cannon, the cannonball is loaded!"

"A test shot!"

"Ignition!"

With the command, the gun position in the middle of the first column of the artillery position began to fire, and with a loud bang, the tiger squat cannon was shaken by the strong recoil and jumped up half a foot high on the spot, and smashed heavily on the solid position.

Woooooo

The fiery red solid iron cannonball bombarded away with a sharp and sharp whistling, and a muffled sound came from the bang, and the cannonball hit a group of thieves who were scurrying around, and several thieves were instantly blasted into flesh and blood foam, mixed with the loess in the sky to form a greasy and viscous paste-like substance, splashing indiscriminately in the air.

Under the powerful kinetic energy of gunpowder, the fiery red projectile jumped and rolled dozens of times one after another, killing more than a dozen thieves before stopping.

Then, with the crackling sound of a rain hitting plantains, a hundred and ten small pebbles smashed into the rest of the enemies, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of the dense crowd fell.

The tiger squat cannon is easy to carry and simple to operate, each time it is fired, it can be loaded with 100 bullets weighing five coins, and a mother bomb of 30 taels, after ignition, the sub-mother bombs fly out together, the roar is like thunder, the lethality and radiation range are very large, especially suitable for field battles and dense combat formations.

The thieves in front of him are huddled together, and they are the most suitable targets for bombardment.

"Hit the target!" the gunner replied loudly.

The companion quickly pulled the Tiger Squat Cannon back into place and secured the bracket with copper nails.

"Whoa, hit!" shouted the musketeers who stood in formation.

Compared with the cheers of the volunteer battalion, the thieves were frightened, and the cries and screams rang out. They have more or less fought with the officers and soldiers, and they have seen artillery, but such accurate artillery has never been seen before.

The herald immediately waved the red flag and spread the firing parameters throughout the artillery positions.

"The target is directly ahead, all of them are tested in one shot!"

I don't know if it was influenced by Wang Zhuang, and the gunners liked to howl like wolves.

"Fire!"

With the rumbling sound of artillery, a large cloud of cyan smoke rose from the position, and the choking smell of gunpowder spread in the array. The artillerymen and musketeers were accustomed to such scenes, and the choking smell of gunpowder was a pleasure for them, and everyone sniffed and greedily savored the smell of gunpowder.

The thieves were the opposite, they lost their weapons and turned around and ran towards the high slope behind.

The red flag on the artillery position waved again and again, "All fire, barrage cover!"

The deterrent effect brought by the successive bombardment of sixty tiger squat cannons was extremely amazing, and the deafening sound continued to sound on this small plain, and the fiery red cannonballs carried infinite might, harvesting the fragile lives of the thieves in large areas.

The thieves completely collapsed, and even the murderous demon-like Bai Zitong and Fang Greedy Wolf in the rear couldn't stop their fear of cannonballs.

They were originally just ordinary peasants, many of them did not travel within a radius of ten miles, and the farthest place they had ever been to was only the county seat, and they were pitiful with little knowledge, and they rebelled under the instigation of the White Lotus Sect because of the difficulty of life.

Taking advantage of the brute force, blood and bravery, and daring to kill someone along the current, the ordinary shelling of the officials and soldiers in the past can also stabilize the spirit. But today's all-firepower war is far beyond their barren imagination, coupled with the death and escape of the Dharma Protector Fan Zhen and the three holy women, they simply do not have the courage to confront.

In the face of the completely collapsed thieves, there is no need for shelling, although the military discipline of the volunteer battalion is harsh, but they are only fulfilling the accusations of soldiers, not cruel and murderous people.

"Playing music!" This time it was Liao Shun who was in charge of commanding the musket team.

The light and rhythmic march of the musketeers resounded again on the plain, and the musketeers, to the sound of strict commands, lined up in marching columns, crossed the paths in the swamp, and again formed an assault column on the camp.

"No wonder their shells didn't fly, it turned out to be a guide. Chang Wei looked at Cheng Shiyu at the end of the team and smiled happily, "This guy is clever." ”

Driven by the musketeers, the thieves ran backwards without their lives, and Han Chai and the others, who had been chasing and killing, had to return to the hillside and firmly block their escape route.

Amid loud military music, the musketeers approached within fifty paces of the enemy.

"Stop!"

Liao Shun raised the knife in his hand and ordered loudly: "First team, raise your gun and aim!"

The captain and team leader repeated the order: "Raise your gun and aim!"

Whew!

Forty black hole muzzles were aimed at the huddled thieves.

Liao Shun's long knife suddenly slashed down, "Shoot!"

"Shoot!"

Bang bang bang!

With the command, a bean-like gunshot rang out, and this huddled enemy was the best target for shooting, and as long as the standard tactical moves were completed, the enemy could be hit.

After the first platoon of soldiers finished shooting, they immediately retreated from both sides to the last platoon to carry out the tactical action of cleaning and loading.

"Don't fight, we surrender, we all surrender!"

After a round of gunfire, the desperate thief immediately lost his weapon and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"This?" Liao Shun hesitated, his duty was to eliminate the thieves, and he did not receive the order to surrender, this kind of thing was completely beyond the scope of his duty.

"Although the tactic of lining up to shoot can produce a large number of qualified soldiers in a short period of time, it is easy to make the mistake of dogmatism, and a commander cannot even make the decision on this little thing. ”

Chang Wei sighed secretly and walked towards the musket team from the mouth of the valley, only he could be the master at this time.

"I suggest you accept surrender!" Suddenly, a clear voice made Chang Wei pause, and he looked up to see that it was a person carrying a suona who spoke.

Chang Wei immediately recognized the Xiucai who indirectly gave birth to the Musketeer's March, "Lu Wenmao!"

Liao Shun hurriedly asked, "Why? There are thousands of people here, and we only have a few hundred people, and it is not enough to take care of them." Besides, so many people were arrested and brought back, and the prisons in Nanjing and Zhenjiang could not be closed. ”

Chang Wei listened carefully to the conversation between the two, and he wanted to see if this Lu Wenmao had any advantages in addition to being proficient in music. (To be continued.) )
