Chapter 840 Water Riding Cooperation (7)

The black shells dragged the fire and soared into the air at a speed visible to the naked eye, smashing down on the Qing army's position in the Green Camp three hundred steps away. "Sky-surgery cannon!" Ma Degong shouted.

"The shells are coming, just be careful to hide!" someone shouted.

The Green Camp soldiers raised their heads one after another, looking at the shells falling from high altitude. Just as the shells were about to land, the Green Camp soldiers judged the landing location of the shells and spread out to both sides. Some people could not dodge and were hit by the smashed shells on their heads. The red tassel hat on their heads was immediately flattened and their brains burst; some people were hit on their shoulders, their entire arms fell off their shoulders, and they immediately fell to the ground, howling and screaming.

Most of the Qing soldiers avoided the shells. Who knew that after the shells fell on the ground, they rolled a few times. Before the Green Camp soldiers who were lucky enough to avoid the shells had time to be happy, they saw the rolling shells on the ground suddenly exploded with a ball of fire. With a loud bang, white smoke rose up, and the Qing soldiers around them fell down screaming and several of them fell down.

Some shells exploded in mid-air, and a flash of flames in the air, and debris spread to the Qing soldiers like the rain. Large areas of green camp soldiers fell down screaming.

"Damn it, this shell can explode!" Ma Degong said in shock.

After a round of shells, the mortar gunmen loaded the shells quickly. They first cleaned the cannon chamber with a wet mop, especially the medicine pool, and then wiped the cannon chamber with a dry mop, then took out a cylindrical fixed-loading package from the powder barrel, stuffed it into the cannon chamber, and pushed the package into the small pot with a wooden pole, and then put a shell cut through the fuse into the muzzle. When the gunmen were cleaning the cannon chamber and loading the medicine bag, someone cut the cannon fume on the side.

Then a gunner inserted a drug-guiding tube at the fire door at the tail of the gun, which completed the loading.

The loading speed of the twelve-pound mortar cannon is very fast, but it was completed in just fifteen breaths.

The gunner standing in front of the muzzle put the torch deep into the muzzle and ignited the fuse of the shell; then the gunner behind ignited the drug-induced tube inserted on the fire door.

"Bang" the mortar cannon roared again, and a "wave" cannonball with fire flashing light rose into the air and fell to the head of the Qing army's position. Then another mortar cannon roared, and the white smoke filled the air, and the shells flew up to the sky and fell to the opposite side.

This time the gunners fought more accurately than before. Several shells fell on the supplies vehicles outside the Qing army. Several supplies vehicles were blown to pieces and turned into piles of waste wood. The Qing soldiers hiding behind the supplies vehicles were also blown to tears and howls.

Before Ma Degong could react, he heard a row of guns. The Ming army scattered soldiers who were walking with their horses opened their guns a hundred steps away. The fire flashed and white smoke rose.

"The distance is still so far, Minggou fired the gun. It seems that they have not changed. They can only fire guns randomly." Ma Degong said to himself.

The Ming army scattered soldiers fired guns, which triggered the Qing army's bird gunners to pull the trigger and shoot randomly. However, the bullets they fired were useless, and Ma Degong was surprised to find that dozens of soldiers in his formation fell down screaming!

After one round of battle, more than 300 scattered soldiers immediately pulled out the silk-wrapped paper shell bullets from the bullet belt, and then pierced a hole at the tail of the shell with a bayonet, then stuffed the bullets into the muzzle, and then pushed them with a strip. Some bullets were difficult to load, so the scattered soldiers took out a small wooden hammer, knocked the strips, and stuffed the bullets to the bottom. However, with silk-wrapped bullets, most of the bullets were quickly pushed to the bottom by the strips, and only a small number of bullets had to be beaten with a wooden hammer.

The scattered soldiers who had completed the loading fired and fired again, and the flintlock rifled rifled sounds made a row of roars, and dozens of Qing soldiers on the opposite side fell down again.

The scattered soldiers were still a hundred steps away from the Qing army's positions. The Qing soldiers' bird guns and bows could not hit them at all. The solid artillery shells fired by the Tiger Squat Cannon and the Folang aircraft did not pose any threat to the scattered soldiers. The reason why they are called scattered soldiers is that the formation is very scattered, and the solid artillery shells have almost no threat to the loose scattered soldiers.

"Bang bang bang" a row of guns sounded, and the Qing army gunners of the Green Camp sprayed blood mist on their heads and fell down screaming.

Almost at the same time, the Qing army was bombarded by three rounds of mortars. The explosion of fire continued to rise, and countless green camp soldiers had fallen down in the chariot formation, some of which were dead, some of whom were wailing in pain in the pool of blood.

"It's really damn, where are the Mongolian cavalry? Why haven't you come yet?" Ma Degong, who could only be beaten for nothing but could not fight back, cursed.

In fact, the Mongolian cavalry was still fifteen miles away. Because the Green Camp soldiers were bait, the Mongolian cavalry did not dare to get too close to the Green Camp, for fear of exposing themselves, and the Ming army would be prepared. It would take at least a quarter of an hour to run over from fifteen miles away.

One quarter of the hour back then is equivalent to half an hour later. Half an hour is enough for scattered soldiers to fight fifteen rounds, and enough for the mortar to fire twenty rounds! This is because the mortar needs to cool down after fifteen rounds of continuous firing, otherwise the firing speed can be faster.

The gunners fired and bombarded again. After seven rounds of fire, the gunners lifted the bucket, poured the water into the barrel, then lifted the tail of the gun, poured out the hot water, and wiped the inner chamber with a dry mop. After drying, the gunners loaded the shells again.

The scattered soldiers fired slowly and fired at a rate of firing one bullet in about a minute. When each round of gunfire sounded, a group of green camp soldiers fell.

In half an hour, it was enough to completely destroy the Qing army of the Ten Thousand Green Camp.

Being beaten for nothing, but having no power to fight back, the morale of the Green Camp soldiers dropped rapidly and were approaching the brink of collapse. If Ma Degong's servant had not been holding a knife behind him, all the Green Camp soldiers would have turned around and ran away long ago.

"If the army gate doesn't rush out, I'm afraid the brothers will not be able to hold on to the Mongolian cavalry." A Qing army in the green camp begged the general.

"But after rushing out, our formation will be in chaos. We are infantry, and infantry charge towards the cavalry? Isn't that asking for death?" Ma Degong shook his head.

Before he finished speaking, another row of artillery shells fell, and a large number of Qing soldiers screamed and fell down. Then he heard a row of guns, and a blood mist splashed in the Qing army. This round of artillery and a round of musket shooting brought at least more than 300 casualties to the Qing army! The musket alone knocked down more than a hundred people!

"Run!"

"Minggou firearm is so powerful!"

The Green Camp soldiers, who had already approached the critical point, finally collapsed and turned around and ran away.

"Whoever escaped without permission without hearing the sound of gold will be killed!" The servant holding the sharp blade waved his knife without hesitation, and chopped the Qing soldiers who turned around and fled one by one in the pool of blood.

At this moment, I heard a row of deafening guns. Dozens of people fell down the supervision teams that were wielding their swords to kill deserters. As a result, a gap appeared in the supervision team like a dam collapsed. The defeated Qing soldiers were like a flood breaking the dam, surging out, causing a chain reaction, and the entire formation was completely chaotic.

"Kill!" Cao Bianjiao pointed forward in his hand.

"Kill slaves! Kill slaves!" More than 800 light cavalry, five hundred heavy cavalry and more than 600 dragon cavalry rushed out immediately and rushed towards the already dispersed Qing army formation. After the scattered soldiers completed the loading again, they also jumped on their horses and drove their horses to rush towards the defeated Qing army formation. The scattered soldiers did not need to rush forward. As long as the light cavalry began to drive sheep, the scattered soldiers could seize the opportunity to kill the horse and achieve success.

Ma Degong's servant suffered heavy losses and could no longer stop the defeated Qing army. He and the remaining servants also joined the defeated ranks.
