Chapter 524 Intercepting the Qing Army (2)

The bird gun soldiers were loading slowly, and the nine-headed bird heavy musket was even slower. Li Guodong did not intend to take the three-stage attack method. Instead, after launching a round, he used Camel City, heavy cavalry and Folang machines to hold the Qing army to gain time to reload the firearms again. Then the second round was a volley. After the volley was completed, the bird gun soldiers in front blocked the Qing army as short spear soldiers, and the firearms in the back took the opportunity to load and output fire again and again.

Groups of Qing troops rushed up, and thirty hundred-pound light Folang cannons had already been mounted on the hump. The camel squatted on the ground with sandbags piled on them. The Ming army gunners used the depression between the hump as the battlements of the city wall and placed the Folang cannon in the middle of the hump.

"Let me go!" He Xing yelled.

Thirty Folang machine cannons made a deafening roar, and thirty half-pound iron bullets roared out, accurately smashing into the Qing army crowd.

The dense crowd of Qing soldiers watched a row of shells roaring towards him. All the Qing soldiers stared at the shells with an intention of dodging, but where did they hide in the formation?

The shells smashed into the Qing army formation, and the row of Qing soldiers standing in the front immediately smashed themselves to pieces. The shells were filled with blood mist and shot into the center of the Qing army crowd. Thirty shells pulled out thirty flesh and blood alleys. The Qing army crowd screamed in pain, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, broken limbs and broken legs and various weapons fragments spread all over the ground, and a large number of Qing soldiers with few arms and legs were lying on the ground wailing.

Although Li Guodong's Folang cannons were mostly seized from the Qing army, most of the Zi Guns were changed by him. He changed the iron sub-gun of the Folang cannon to a copper shell with iron core. In this way, when the shells were fired, the copper shells would expand, seal the connection between the sub-gun and the cannon chamber, reducing air leakage, increasing range, accuracy and power, and the copper shells could withstand greater chamber pressure and load more gunpowder. The power of these Folang cannons greatly increased, and a shell could penetrate more than a dozen Qing soldiers.

Thirty Folang machine cannons fired in a volley, and almost more than 400 Qing soldiers fell down.

After firing the shells, the Ming army gunner immediately pulled out the iron bolt to fix the sub-gun and pulled out the hot sub-gun with an iron hook. The gunner threw the shot sub-gun to the ground. The gunner picked up the new sub-gun and put it into the abdomen, so that the head of the sub-gun was inserted into the cannon chamber, and then inserted an iron bolt into the fixing hole at the tail to fix the sub-gun, and then ignited it with a torch.

However, in just seven breaths, thirty Folang machine cannons roared again.

Another row of shells hit, and hundreds of people fell down in the blink of an eye.

After two rounds of artillery attacks, the Qing army lost about a thousand people. The Qing army could afford such losses, and most of the losses were pushed to the front.

The Qing army infantry had approached, and the Folang machine cannons no longer fired at the Qing army infantry. The gunners took off the cannons from the hump, watched the Folang machine and ran towards the wings.

Behind the camel, the three rows of Ming army bird gunmen in front were lying on the ground, squatting or standing behind, and the neatly slit guns aimed at the Qing army that was already close to them.

"Let me go!" Wang Quan roared.

More than a thousand bird gun soldiers pulled the trigger together, and the bean-like bird guns sounded, and thousands of bird guns fired in unison, with the roar being comparable to the sound of cannons! A piece of white smoke rose from the Camel City, and the Qing soldiers who had rushed to within thirty steps were left screaming and fell down a large area.

The volley shot within thirty steps was extremely powerful. The row of Qing soldiers in front was immediately beaten into a hornet's nest, screaming one by one and falling over in a pool of blood.

After the bird gunman behind him finished firing the bullet, he immediately squatted down, took out the fixed bullet, bite the bullet shell, and began to load the bullet.

The three rows of bird gunmen in front suddenly stood up from the ground, aimed at the Qing soldiers who were less than twenty steps away, and pulled the trigger in unison. Fierce fire lights emerged, and the smoke of gunfire rose, and a roar of thunder like a thunder. The Qing soldiers who were close to each other sprayed large balls of blood mist on their bodies, falling down in pieces.

The bird gun soldiers behind the Qing army also opened fire. More than 30 bird gunmen fell down by Ming army, but the Qing army was shot by these two rounds of bird guns, which damaged at least more than 400 people.

"Kill slave!" The bird gunners in the front row had no time to load the bullets. They picked up the bird guns with bayonets and rushed forward to the Qing army, and bought loading time for the bird gunners and the nine-headed bird heavy musketeers in the back row.

The Folang gunner, who had moved to both wings, aimed at the heavy cavalry of the Qing army who were rushing out two hundred steps away and ignited the artillery.

Thirty shells rolled into the formation of the Qing cavalry with a harsh whistling sound. A Qing cavalry who was rushing in the front was galloping. Suddenly, a shell hit his war horse's neck. The horse did not even neigh, and the entire horse's neck was smashed to pieces. The huge horse's head fell down. The war horse, which was beaten to the other side, fell down, and threw the Qing soldiers on the horse's back several feet away. The remaining shells fell on the hard ground, jumped up, and knocked over a war horse again. It lost its kinetic energy and the artillery shells with blood fell into the soil.

The Qing cavalry was bombarded and more than 40 people fell down.

The Folang machine gunner immediately pulled out the ammunition gun, replaced it with the gun loaded with shotgun, and aimed at the Qing army again.

The Qing cavalry was less than fifty steps left. The Fran machine gunner once again ignited the cannon, and a row of shotguns scattered into the Qing cavalry crowd, killing the Qing soldiers and screaming in succession.

With less than fifty steps away, even the fastest loading machine is not too late to load. At this distance, the cavalry whose speed has been increased to the highest can only rush to the front of the carriage with three to four breaths.

The gunners took the Fran cannon from the camel's back and drove the camel to stand up.

The whip hit the camel, and the camel carrying a sandbag rushed towards the group of Qing cavalry. In a blink of an eye, dozens of cavalry were knocked over, forcing the Qing cavalry to reduce the charge speed.

"Kill!" Li Guodong's horse lance and cavalry also arrived. One thousand horse lances were erected, like a thousand sapling soldiers charging on horseback, arranged in a neat and dense formation, and rushed straight towards the heavy cavalry of the Qing army.

The horse lance heavy cavalry is the most expensive cavalry, and it is a super long slinger on horseback. It can not only overcome heavy cavalry, but also light cavalry and all melee infantry, and also overcome infantry archers. Only firearms can penetrate their armor. However, the disadvantage of the horse lance cavalry is that the horse lance is too expensive and cannot be trained too much. Moreover, the speed of killing infantry is not as fast as that of the sabers and cavalry, nor as fast as heavy cavalry holding hammers and axes. Because the horse lance attacks slowly, it does not have short weapons to swing, and is not good at chasing and killing defeated enemy infantry.

The heavy cavalry of the Qing army met Li Guodong's horse-sling cavalry. As soon as they met, they were hit by the long spear of the Ming army. Even the Bayala soldiers wearing three thick armors, the heavy armor on their bodies was easily torn apart by the armor-breaking cone under the impact of the horse-sling with the help of horse-power.

In a round of hedging between the two sides, Li Guodong's horse-sling cavalry lost more than 30 people, but at least more than 400 heavy cavalrymen in the Qing army were dismissed.

"Bang bang bang" The roar of the three-eyed guns sounded, and the three-eyed gun cavalry behind the horse-sling heavy cavalry ignited the muskets. The sound of the guns roared and shot down many heavy cavalry of the Qing army. The three-eyed gun cavalry who had fired bullets in front swung the three-eyed guns as iron hammers, collided with the Qing army. The round three-eyed guns smashed the Qing army's brains and ribs. The three-eyed gun cavalry behind who had not finished shooting the bullets took the opportunity to fire, killing the Qing soldiers passing by themselves one after another. However, the Qing army also caused certain losses to Li Guodong's three-eyed gun cavalry.

The last one came up were heavy cavalry, axes, hammers, maces, page hammers and other blunt objects carrying various heavy weapons, and they were hit and could not stop the armor on their bodies.

The Qing army infantry had already crossed the Camel City and killed the Ming army's bird gun soldiers.

The bird gun soldiers in front blocked the Qing soldiers with bayonets, and bought loading time for the bird gun soldiers and heavy musket soldiers behind. The two sides had already launched a fierce close-fits-all battle. Although Li Guodong's bird gun soldiers had a very strong combat after adding bayonets, the Qing soldiers who were trapped in beasts continued to fight and rushed into the Camel City.
