Chapter 32: A Great Victory
Some people may ask, since the Florian machine is so powerful to shoot shots, why do you still need to use a bird gun? This involves a range issue.
In order to pursue high-fire, the Flang machine adopts a mother-and-child gun configuration, which is not airtight, and the range when firing solid bullets is less than two miles, and the range for a shotgun is less than fifty feet. Moreover, even if this distance hits, it will not cause fatal damage.
The closer the distance, the greater the power of the shotgun. If it is within ten feet, as long as it hits, even if the enemy is wearing double armor, it can still penetrate the armor and cause fatal damage.
The guards in front of him were less than twenty steps away, and they could just swing the maximum power of the shotgun. If one round of shotgun was gone, all those who were hit the ground.
A large number of troops in the charge of the garrison immediately appeared in front of them. This round of shotguns caused at least one hundred casualties and injuries. The servants' team was almost wiped out. Even if they did not die on the spot, they would have no combat effectiveness.
"What's going on?"
"Why do I seem to hear the sound of cannons?"
"Didn't it meant it was just a chaotic army? How could there be cannons?"
Sudden screams and questions surged in the rear, and the senior officers of the garrison made the sound.
Their questions did not affect the soldiers in front of them. Although a large number of soldiers fell in front of them, the soldiers behind them were unable to see clearly what was in the enemy formation, so they still rushed forward.
Kong Youde issued an order to fire freely. The artillery soldiers had already attacked the city many times, so they skillfully took out the gun that had been fired, embedded the gun that had been loaded long ago, and ignited the lead.
"Boom boom boom"
After a moment, the cannons roared again, and thousands of shotguns flew towards the enemy.
Another blood mist was raised. There were more soldiers knocked down this time than the first time. Most of the servants who took the projectiles for the first time were servants. The servants all had armor. The shotgun passed through the armor and then penetrated into the human body, and they lost the energy to advance. Even if they could penetrate from behind, they could not cause damage to other enemies.
This time, the shotgun was blocked by the armor and penetrated the first person's body and continued to penetrate the second person's body, causing even greater damage.
After two rounds of shotgun baptism, the crowded team in front became instantly sparse, and the soldiers behind also saw the mixed impression in front. They could no longer bear the fear in their hearts, threw away the weapons in their hands and ran back frantically.
However, the distance is too close, and it is too late for them to run now. They are still within the best range of shotguns in less than twenty steps, and it is not so easy to find the right direction to escape in panic.
"Boom boom boom"
The sound of artillery sounded one after another, and fleeing guards were shot and fell to the ground. The artillerymen would not miss such a good opportunity.
In fact, after the fifth row of musket soldiers fired, they retreated to the back. They saw a large number of enemy troops, and were less than twenty steps away, and they were very panicked inside, and even felt that their lives might be explained here.
Then, after panic, there was anger. Although the guards had fled, they were still firing fires. All their sub-guns had been loaded and they could just replace and ignite. In a short time, they shot out all the shotguns of the remaining four sub-guns.
When the guards escaped from the range of shotguns, the artillery soldiers still felt unsatisfied. The range of solid artillery shells was much longer than that of scattered. The artillery soldiers replaced the solid artillery shells and continued to bombard the escaped enemy.
Kong Youde did not stop him. Solid bullets could be recycled and used, so that they could practice artillery techniques and relieve their anger.
When the enemy began to retreat, Kong Youde breathed a sigh of relief. This was the first battle he participated in after coming to this world. The siege before was nothing, and the pressure he faced on the battlefield was unimaginable before.
The victory of this battle was a bit thrilling. Kong Youde was still afraid for a while. If the enemy was not a guard's army, even if it was a victory, it would be a tragic victory. The guard's army's ability to withstand casualties was extremely low. More than 20% would definitely collapse, and some even 10% of the casualties were enough to make them start to flee.
Once defeated, there is basically no possibility of turning defeat into victory. In this case, five people can chase one hundred people. During the War of Resistance, this scene often occurs between the Japanese army and the royal army that successfully turned into Taiwan.
Even if everyone knows that there are only five people who are chasing, no one will think about turning back and blocking. What if they turn back and blocking, but they don’t look back but continue running? They are facing five people. It’s better to continue running. As long as they run faster than comrades, they can survive. Everyone has this idea and will naturally flee all the way.
In fact, since the beginning of the battle, Luo Zizhong and Cheng Molin and other senior officers found something wrong. The fire of the musket soldiers on the opposite side was so neat, not like a chaotic army at all. Fortunately, they were just bird gun soldiers, and the losses were a little bigger. At that time, they must ask Bi Ziyin for more money to compensate.
Until the sound of artillery sounded, they found that the casualties might be greater this time, and the servants would definitely pay some money, but when they saw the soldiers rushing to the enemy, they could still win this battle, and in a while they would see the enemy's defeat.
However, after the two gunfires, the situation took a sharp turn. The soldiers in the front all fell to the ground like they were possessed by evil spirits, and the soldiers behind all began to turn around and run away.
Luo Zizhong was shocked and scared, feeling his whole body and limbs as if he was numb, and his mind was in a state of stagnation, and he could not think about the situation in front of him.
It was not until Cheng Molin grabbed his sleeve and called him to run away quickly that he pulled his thinking back to reality.
Luo Zizhongyi felt deceived by Bi Ziyin, and then when he saw the servant who was also stunned, he suddenly became angry and slashed at the servant's neck with a knife. Due to lack of strength, the knife was stuck on the neck. Luo Zizhong was too lazy to control the knife, so he turned his horse's head and ran away.
.........
After seeing that the guards all ran out of the range of the Folang aircraft, Kong Youde did not order the pursuit. The musket soldiers were not suitable for pursuit. The task of pursuing the defeated soldiers was handed over to Li Yingyuan. Next, you only need to wait for news from Li Yingyuan, and the next step is to clean up the battlefield.
"Everyone is ready to clean the battlefield, and all the captures belong to you. All the injured enemy troops will be put to the end, and those who are not injured will be taken into custody."
Kong Youde gradually learned how to act in this world. Keeping these wounded soldiers is a burden, and there is no need to be so kind to the enemy. By the way, it can also enhance the courage of the soldiers in the firearm camp.
It is a completely different feeling to kill a person from a distance with a musket and kill a person from a knife.
The losses in this battle were minimal, with only four unlucky guys hitting the key points by bows and arrows or bird guns, and eight were injured.
Three of them were purely injured by themselves. The loading of the musket was too large, and the musket they took was not of the best quality, and then it exploded. Fortunately, it was not fatal. Kong Youde asked someone to take these wounded soldiers back to the county town and seek treatment from the doctor. Now Bi Ziyin is dead, so he is not afraid that the doctor will not be treated.
