Chapter 906: Under the Gunshots(1/3)
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, which frightened the birds in the woods and flew towards the sky with flapping wings.
A flash of fire flashed from the muzzle of the Dresser rifle in Prince Rupert's hand.
The drowsy soldier who was leaning against the big tree fell down at the sound.
Prince Rupert also learned in detail how to use the Dresser rifle.
Moreover, Prince Rupert's marksmanship is not bad and his hit rate is very high.
"What happened?"
"What is this sound? Where does it come from?"
"It's dead, it's dead!"
In an instant, other soldiers standing guard were also alerted by the sound of gunfire.
They found the soldier whom Prince Rupert had killed.
The soldier fell on the root of a tree, and the bullet passed through his chest, leaving a hole as thick as a thumb. Blood kept seeping out of it, and the ground beneath him was dyed red with blood.
"Arquebus, arquebus, this is an arquebus! There are enemies!"
A soldier looked at the soldier lying on the ground and suddenly screamed loudly.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack, His Highness the King's army is coming, His Highness the King's army is coming!"
A soldier shouted loudly, and the surrounding soldiers dispersed and ran towards the camp.
"Come forward, rush in directly!"
Prince Rupert raised the Dresser rifle in his hand high and rushed forward.
The one hundred people following Prince Rupert also hurriedly followed Prince Rupert's footsteps and rushed over.
This gunshot was also heard by people in the camp. The officer who questioned Prince Rupert yesterday walked out of his barracks and looked towards the camp door with a puzzled look on his face.
"What is this sound? The sound of a matchlock gun? It seems to be coming from outside the camp gate. What is going on?" The officer looked confused, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
He walked quickly towards the camp gate. Just a few steps out, the soldiers standing guard outside rushed into the camp gate.
These soldiers looked at the officers who were walking over. Without saying a word, they shouted loudly to the officers, "It's all bad. It's all bad. His Highness the King is coming. His Highness the King is coming. His Royal Highness's army is here now."
Outside, what should we do? What should we do?"
A soldier came to the officer and shouted at the officer in a panic.
This soldier was just an ordinary farmer a few months ago. After joining the parliamentary army, he rarely received systematic training, and his combat effectiveness was really worrying.
The officer calmed down. To be honest, he didn't believe what the soldier said.
Inexplicably, His Royal Highness's army suddenly appeared outside the camp. How is this possible?
"You all, please calm down, please calm down!"
The officer looked calm and scolded the soldiers in front of him loudly.
"All the officers in the general, come to me!" the officer shouted to the soldiers.
However, before these soldiers could leave, Prince Rupert led his own men and rushed outside the camp gate.
Although this officer has a certain sense of crisis, due to his background and lack of systematic study, his camp is full of flaws.
When Prince Rupert led the people and rushed to the gate of the camp, there was not even a decent team organized in the camp.
The people in the camp never thought that anyone would attack them, so both the defense and the vigilance were very unsatisfactory. There were not even soldiers on guard on the walls of the camp, only soldiers standing guard outside the camp, and these
The soldiers are still some bastards.
The gate of the camp was closed tightly. Prince Rupert looked at the gate of the camp in front of him and sneered twice.
"Haha, let's use you to test the weapons we bought today. How is it going?"
Prince Rupert turned around and shouted to his men behind him: "Take out the grenades and blow up the gate of the camp in front of me!"
When Thomas purchased firearms, he also purchased a considerable number of grenades. As his first purchase, Zhao Wen also presented some grenades to Thomas. This time, Prince Rupert brought some grenades with him when he came out.
As soon as Prince Rupert's voice fell, a dozen of his men rushed over with grenades.
Seven or eight minutes later, the dozen or so men placed the grenades in their hands under the camp gate.
Seeing this, Prince Rupert took the people behind him and retreated fifty or sixty steps.
When the last of his men left the camp gate, he pulled the strings of several grenades.
"Bang!!!"
A huge explosion exploded at the camp gate, and even the ground under Prince Rupert's feet began to tremble slightly.
At the moment of the explosion, the wooden camp door was blown to pieces, and the wood fragments flew in all directions.
The high temperature generated during the explosion ignited the wood, and the camp gate burned.
The moment the huge explosion sounded, the officer stood in the middle of the camp and looked in the direction of the camp gate in disbelief.
"What's going on? Is there thunder in the sky? Why is there such a big movement? What's going on with that explosion? The camp door was blown away!"
The officer suddenly became frightened for no reason. He had never seen such a huge explosion in his whole life. He had no idea what a grenade was. The explosion in front of him really overturned his knowledge.
The officer's legs kept shaking. If the soldiers beside him hadn't supported him, he might have fallen to the ground.
At this time, the junior officers in the army had not arrived yet. When these junior officers walked halfway, they saw the explosion in the direction of the camp gate.
The reaction of these junior officers was no better than that of that officer. Some were even worse than that officer and even peed their pants.
Some officers simply couldn't move their legs and were frozen on the ground, unable to move forward.
The soldiers in the camp also heard the noise, and they all ran out of the barracks and looked towards the camp gate.
They didn't know what caused the explosion or why it appeared outside the camp.
People always panic when faced with a mystery, and these soldiers in the camp are no exception.
Panic began to spread in the camp.
These soldiers were not honest soldiers to begin with, and they didn't know what to do when something like this happened now.
Their superiors were so frightened, let alone them.
"Come in and kill them all!"
Prince Rupert's eyes were scarlet as he rushed towards the broken camp gate.
Prince Rupert took the lead and rushed through the camp gate first.
The cry of killing rang out and spread towards the camp.
The officer finally believed what the soldier who had reported the news said before.
"Is it really His Highness the King who came here? How did they come here?
How did those people call just now? Why didn't I get any news before? Are they ghosts?"
The officer looked towards the camp gate in disbelief.
As Prince Rupert rushed into the camp gate, the officer finally saw Prince Rupert's face clearly.
The officer's pupils kept shrinking, and his face was full of surprise.
"How is it possible? Isn't he an old acquaintance of the Earl of Essex? Isn't he an old friend of the Earl of Essex? How could he rush in with his men?"
"Oops, he is not an old friend of the Earl of Essex at all, he is a member of His Royal Highness the King!"
In an instant, the officer understood all this, and cold sweat began to break out from the officer's forehead.
The current officer regretted very much. He regretted that he did not recognize Prince Rupert's identity yesterday.
What he regretted even more was that he actually told Prince Rupert himself where he was stationed.
"Hurry up and organize resistance, they are enemies, they are enemies!"
The officer shouted loudly and ran towards the depths of the camp.
The soldiers following him also hurriedly ran to various parts of the camp.
However, soldiers like them, who were both good and bad, could not organize a decent resistance at all.
Prince Rupert and a hundred soldiers rushed towards the camp in all directions with strange cries like wolves among sheep.
Although the soldiers in the camp are all amateurs, they can't handle the large number of them. There are more than a hundred soldiers in the camp. Although time is short, hundreds of soldiers can be organized in a short time.
But most of the soldiers were like headless flies, running around in the camp, and rumors spread among these soldiers.
Some people shouted loudly, saying that Charles I sent an army of more than a thousand people to attack them, some said that he sent an army of tens of thousands to attack them, and even worse, said that he sent an army of hundreds of thousands.
Under these rumors, the camp became increasingly panicked.
The front of the camp has become a chaotic scene. After the soldiers here rushed out of the barracks, they met Prince Rupert and the others.
They didn't dare to resist at all, they threw away their weapons and fled in all directions.
Prince Rupert raised the Dresser rifle in his hand and aimed at a panicked soldier in front of him. He did not hesitate and pulled the trigger.
