Chapter 99 The Battle of Shanhaiguan 5
"Hear up the gun in the first row... aim... release!" The officers in charge of command in the front row roared one by one and issued a series of orders one after another.
The first row of firemen immediately followed the command, immediately raised and flattened the flinch gun, pushed the shoulder support on their right shoulders, adjusted their breathing slightly, and quickly locked a target opposite through the gap and front sight above the musket. After hearing the hysterical roar of the officers. These first row of firemans immediately gently pulled the trigger with their index fingers.
Through years of development, the large and medium-sized army thorn gun has become skilled with a large number of craftsmen at this time. In addition, the craftsmen are constantly making small improvements, which has been completely matured. Not only the quality of the reeds produced in the thorn device has stabilized, but also the manufacturing accuracy has also improved a lot. It turns out that the trigger is not easy. Problems such as pulling and low firing rate have been basically solved now, especially the reduction of the force of the trigger, which has also reduced the impact on the firing of the firearm. In addition, the promotion of semi-mechanized drilling technology and the improvement of the quality of the barrel, the Dazhong Army's flimp is not only The power is getting bigger and bigger, and the accuracy is getting higher and higher.
After the first row of fireguns pulled the trigger, a roar of fire immediately sounded on the battlefield. Because the gunfire was so dense, the sound of the sound of explosive beans could not be heard. Many gunshots were mixed together, and only a series of roars could be heard.
When the slaves on the side of the construction slave army were still busy loading, they squinted and saw with the afterglow of the corners of their eyes that the firearms of the Dazhong Army had been loaded, and raised the "birds" in the roar of the generals, so many slaves were even more panicked. Some of them even shook their hands so much that they couldn't even stuff their sticks into the rods. It's in.
Think about it, they know that the other party's bird is about to fire, but they can't dodge and can't dodge. They can only stand here and wait to be shot. What's the difference between this and waiting for torture? Even the boldest people, it is impossible not to be nervous, not to mention these Han soldiers who are afraid of death?
So it was too late to complete the loading. The other party's Dazhong army had raised the bird's mouth again, and a row of black holes pointed to them. These slaves standing in the front row were a little panicked. Several slaves really couldn't stand this fear. Unexpectedly, the water gate opened and immediately peed a pair of his trousers, emitting coquett. The smell, and the slaves were so scared that they cried, but they didn't dare to run, because behind them were the soldiers who supervised the war, staring at them with knives. Whoever turned his head, what was waiting for them was the sharp blade.
When the gunfire of the Dazhong Army sounded, a mass of smoke and a bunch of flames immediately spewed out in front of the Dazhong Army array, and a blood fog immediately rose in the front row of Jiannu's array. Seventy steps were enough for the Dazhong Army's Fluff guns to show off their power. Looking at Jiannu's front row, There was a scream. He cut rice one after another and fell on his back to the sky, and some people fell to the ground without saying a word.
The armor on their bodies could not play an effective protective role in front of the flying projectiles at all. After the bullets of the large and medium-sized army tore them apart, they continued to tear the bodies of the slaves. After entering the bodies, they smashed their internal organs. After some soldiers fell, they screamed like killing pigs. After hearing it, the scalp is numb for a while.
Some slaves were so scared that some slaves behind them shook their hands and even the birds in their hands fell to the ground. King Sanshun watched the battle in the back, and everyone pulled out a pile of black lines on their faces. They secretly said in their hearts: The Dazhong army is really powerful! They loaded too fast! How did they do it? Why don't their birds use fire ropes? ......
But at this time, no one can answer these questions for them. They only saw that after the first row of firearms of the opposite Dazhong Army opened fire, they didn't even look at the battlefield at all. They turned around and immediately retreated, and let the firearms in the back row go to the front. Once again, in the roar of the officers of the Dazhong Army, they raised them in rows. "Birds".
The generals of Jiannu's command in front are also panicked at this moment. Now it's a real battle, which is completely different from their usual practice. At least this bloody scene is enough to make people collapse. Only then, as soon as they came into contact, they gave them a sway, and saw that the second row of the opponent was ready to fire. But they are still noisy on their side.
So some generals panicked and didn't care to check whether the slaves around them had completed loading and whether they were ready to fire, so they began to roar because they couldn't stand such pressure: "Fire"
How can those soldiers who have been frightened take care of so much! As long as the slave soldiers who finished loading and lit the fire rope, they began to raise the birds in their hands and began to catch fire towards the large and medium-sized army array opposite one after another. Before Jiannu's array, there was also a sound of ping-pong.
Even some slaves holding three-eyed soldiers raised their three-eyed arrays and began to fire at the large and medium-sized army 70 steps away.
But under the tension, they forgot how far the effective range of their three-eyed gun is, and the effective range of 30 steps is weaker. They want to shoot the large and medium-sized soldiers who wear solid breastplates beyond 70 steps. Unless they can directly hit the face of the big and medium-sized munitions, they may not even be able to get injured. .
However, Jiannu's fire still caused casualties to the soldiers of the large and medium army to a certain extent. In the array, the sparse fireman hand of the Dazhong army hummed or screamed and fell to the ground. After all, although the bird's caliber is not large, the range is not too far. If it is used effectively, it can still be 70. The step distance caused fatal casualties, and some firearms of the large and medium-sized soldiers were immediately shot, and casualties began to appear.
However, compared with the casualties they caused to the Jiannu side, the casualties on the side of the Dazhong Army were obviously much lower. First of all, after the first round of volley shooting, the first row of slaves fell down a lot. In panic, they raised their guns or even had time to aim, so they followed the people next to them and began to hold fire. As a result, their birds were Either it is raised or raised too low. A large number of birds hit the sky or on the ground in front of the two armies, so they are lively, but in fact, the hit rate is very low.
Coupled with the chest armor that is now popularized by the Dazhong Army, the whole covers the critical position of the soldier's chest and abdomen. Even if it is hit accurately, because the quality of the bullet is small, it can't effectively penetrate the thick chest armor of the Dazhong Army. It just makes a bang on it, and there is a pit on the chest armor, flat Even if the projectile flies out, it will scare the person who shot a lot.
As for the three-eyed bullet, it's a joke. If you want to hit a person seventy steps away, it's already a big luck, and if you hit it on the chest armor, you can't even hit it out of the pit, and it fell to the ground with a click.
Only when the bullet of the slave soldier bird gun directly hits the face of the big and medium-sized munitions, it is possible to cause fatal casualties to the big and medium-sized munitions. Even if it hits the limbs of the Dazhong army soldiers without iron armor protection, it can only hurt them, but it cannot cause fatal damage to the large and medium-sized soldiers.
Therefore, after the two sides opened fire, the advantages and disadvantages of the weapons of the two sides were immediately judged. Although the slave soldiers fought, they were very lively, but the exchange ratio of casualties was very different.
Although the large and medium-sized munitioners were counterattacked, there was no chaos. The munitioners clenched their teeth and did not look around at all. They immediately raised their guns step by step under the orders of the officers, and then fired collectively according to the order.
So in front of the two armies, all kinds of gunshots sounded one after another as if they were boiling a pot. As long as the big and medium army fired once, the slaves in the slaves in the slave queue were turned to the ground in rows like cutting rice, but on the side of the big and middle army, the fallen firearms were very limited, and some of the wounded were very As for not even falling down after the injury, you can retreat to the back of the array and find a medical staff to bandage.
The Han soldiers on the other side of Jiannu were even more panicked, especially those in the back row. They watched the brothers in front of them being killed and dogs one after another. They were even more scared by the dampness and heat in their crotch, and then they smelled a stream of urine.
Originally, according to the regulations, when they saw the firearmed hand in front of him fall, the firearmed hand behind him had to immediately take up for their position to take their place. However, some slaves were so scared that they did not dare to move forward, and even wanted to hide behind others. According to the rules, after the front row of the firearmed hand opened fire, the back row had to move forward. The way of three-stage attack is to keep fire, but after the fight, some soldiers in the back row have been scared to be soft, and they dare not step forward to replace the position of the fireman in front. After the front fire, the fireman who was lucky enough to save his life and was eager to retreat and reload it, but the people behind did not come up, neither Getting out of the way, Jiannu's array suddenly turned into a swarm of bees. Someone immediately cursed and squeezed back in panic.
Therefore, Jiannu, the generals of Wuzhenchaoha Battalion, had practiced a decent three-stage attack during this period. After the battle between the two sides, it began to appear in chaos quickly, and the officers could no longer effectively command their subordinates to shoot in unison. In addition, the army generals were so scared that they were at a loss and only cared about shouting away. The fire made those slaves and firemen not know what to do, so the three-stage attack completely disintegrated and turned into a mess of scattering.
The technology and accuracy of the muskets in this era are limited. If you want to give full play to the power of the musket, you can only improve the hit rate by firing a large number of projectiles at one time. This is why musketers in this era foolishly line up in a horizontal row, and then face the enemy's shooting and fire together. An important reason.
Before the invention of the rear rifle, this kind of tactic of lining up and shooting was the king's way. He didn't think about lying shooting at all, especially in the field, when it was impossible for both sides to build trenches, especially so. Obviously, Jiannu wanted to try his best to imitate Xingtian. The tactics of the army, but the quality of their soldiers and their training, let them only learn the furry, and they can still look decent when they perform, but in actual combat, facing the bombs of the large and medium-sized army in rows after row, the Wuzhenchaoha camp under the command of the Sanshun King immediately turned into a pot of porridge.
