People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 397 The power of the flintlock gun! The people on the island feel as if they have met God!
Ahh!

Under Majapahit's attack, the common people had no power to fight back.

Although they wanted to defend their country, they were really incapable and could only watch their companions fall.

They are desperate.

Is it true that human beings cannot conquer heaven?
Don’t you and others have the ability to protect your home and country?
Who can save myself and others?

Who can save this country?

They are desperate!
Just when they were desperate, they suddenly heard a deafening sound.

These sounds were like thunder, coming from behind them.

The ground trembled.

The whistling shells flew over their heads and hit the Majapahit County camp hard.

Of course God cannot hear their prayers.

So he ordered his troops to attack immediately.

No one will give them answers.

"Who is attacking us?"

When the common people saw this scene, they even thought:
Could it be that God saw our prayers and ordered the God of Thunder to come down as punishment? Otherwise, how could it be so powerful?

They haven't seen it!

They roared and rushed out of the woods.

Majapayi's army never thought that there was such a team in front of them. They were easily solving these people, but suddenly they were attacked by enemy troops from the rear.

"Hide!"

But the morale of these soldiers is really high.

They were asking each other while hiding.

"what……"

Without giving the Majapahit army on the opposite side any time to react, they immediately jumped into the battle.

I even thought in my heart that the weapons used by this team just now were just a bluff, but now that we see such a large number, we are immediately discouraged.

Then I saw those arrogant Majapahit troops. The soldiers who were blown away were like stones thrown into the air, flying high.

The common people saw that the two armies were going to fight head-on and gave way to the battlefield.

After a stalemate for a while, the generals of the Majapahit Army finally did not want to endure it any longer. In their eyes, no matter what kind of army was ahead, they must be destroyed. The order they received was to occupy the Ayu Prefecture in front, and then There they rested and waited for more reinforcements to arrive.

Some people even knelt on the ground and prayed to God that this group of Majapahit troops would be driven out of their own country soon.

The common people knelt on the ground and soon saw that God who saved them was a group of people.

But after a period of rest, they found that this team did not seem to be attacking, and they immediately began to look down upon them.

What they were wearing was not the military uniform of Sanviqi that they were familiar with.

With the powerful artillery support of the Tiger Crouching Cannon, the common people saw that the Majapahit army behind them began to become chaotic.

In the end, Wang Bi couldn't hold back and let the troops start attacking.

God finally heard our prayers, finally saw the abomination of these Majapahit troops, and finally couldn't bear to abandon their people.

All the soldiers were squatting on the ground, ready to fire under the command of the herald.

"Help!"

"Hide!"

OK!

"Ah..."

"How is this going?"

They didn't even see what the shells were.

Correct!
It must be punishment from the God of Thunder!

Majapayi's army was stunned for a moment when they saw that it was not Sanfoqi's army.

Because it was Wang Bi who came to save them on behalf of God.

Boom boom boom...

Never heard of it!
They have been on this island for so many years, but they have never heard that Srivijaya has such a powerful weapon.

Sometimes Wang Bi understands that completing combat goals is the biggest goal, but in this struggle between rationality and sensibility, he ultimately has to compromise with himself. He is not qualified to say that he can completely defeat sensibility.

Until this moment, they had not seen where the enemy was. The use of this weapon allowed Majapahit and others to retreat blindly.

Under the command of Wang Bi, the Ming army began to look for favorable terrain and stood on the hillside in a stepped formation to form a three-stage formation.

However, after the experience of being shelled just now, they did not move forward rashly. Even though they saw that the opponent did not seem to have many people.

It was a military uniform with the same color as the blue sky and white clouds that they had never seen before.

At that time, they will need to follow the reinforcements to destroy more cities, and at the same time, they will also need to follow this team to capture the capital of Sanviqi.

Because of such an arduous task, even if they see such a powerful team blocking their way, they must resolutely push through.

"attack!!"

The general gave the order.

On this road that is not spacious, their mobility is completely restricted, but they believe that with their numerical advantage, they can still crush the thousands of people blocking them in front.

Because they have fought this kind of war many times, and every time they have ended in victory.

Although they would encounter some obstacles every time during a siege, as long as they got all the siege equipment and climbed onto the tower, the defenders would surrender very quickly.

This is their experience.

Therefore, when fighting in the wild, they often push forward with all their strength as quickly as possible, and then eliminate Sanfuqi's effective forces as much as possible.

Completely destroy their will to fight.

But what they didn't know this time was that they were actually encountering the Ming army.

The Ming army had the same purpose as them.

Wang Bi knew very well that in the absence of large siege equipment, all he could do was to conduct field battles with the Majapahit army in the wild and eliminate their effective forces as much as possible, so as to ensure that he would achieve more results.

The Majapahit army formed a phalanx and rushed up on the mountain road that was only seven meters wide.

Faced with this formation of lining up to be shot, the Ming army liked it best.

The reason why they chose to ambush here in the first place was that there were mountains on both sides of the place and the advantage of a passage in the middle.

And this Majapayi army may have never dreamed that even though Wang Bi only had 5,000 men in his hand, he even divided a thousand men and went around behind the Majapayi army.

Of course, he never thought that with these 5,000 men, he could completely wipe out tens of thousands of people. Instead, he wanted to disrupt the enemy's combat deployment as much as possible so that they could not look at each other and were in chaos.

This will help you win more with less.

The Majapahit army was fighting rookies like the Sanviqi army. They had no strategy at all. They were just using human sea tactics to confront the enemy head-on. Wherever they encountered the Ming army, their strategies and tactics were far superior to theirs.

It’s no wonder they have been living on such a small island. How many wars have they experienced?
So their tactics only stayed at the human sea tactics.

It is estimated that these people have never seen a large army of more than 100,000 fighting.

The Central Plains region where the Ming army is located is where large-scale battles involving hundreds of thousands of troops often occur, so of course it is much more advanced than them.

And just as Wang Bi and the others thought, in this situation, Majapahit's army always thought that as long as they had enough numbers, they could defeat the opponent.

Then they saw a scene they would never forget.

The few hundred people they saw in front of them had just rushed forward, and even saw the Ming Dynasty's army standing there motionless from a distance. They thought they were shocked by the domineering aura in them.

I thought that the Sanviqi army was frightened by so many troops.

Of course, the Majapahit army did have pride. Because there is no such a large army dispatched together on this island.

This time they brought a total of more than 43,000 people, using 90% of their main force here.

At this time, the commander-in-chief was even more convinced that he would become famous and become the most famous general in history.

He is even still dreaming that an outstanding general like himself will be rewarded by the king, and his life will be high in the future.

While he was dreaming, a sudden burst of gunfire interrupted his thoughts.

It turned out that on Wang Bi's side, the herald was waving the flag in his hand. When Majapahit's army was only fifty meters away and both sides could see what the other's beard looked like, the herald finally gave the order to open fire. .

To be honest, if the psychological quality of the naval officers was not strong enough, people's mentality would really collapse if they did this at such a close distance.

Even if they were all infantry at a distance of fifty meters, they would be there in one charge, but the ordering soldier really calmed down and only then waved his little flag and ordered to fire.

The Ming army wanted to shoot as soon as possible to ensure their own safety.

But during training, there is a very strict rule, that is, when using a musket, if you fire before hearing the slogan of the orderer, you will have to pay a very expensive price.

When Chen Han made the regulations for the musketeers, the first one he wrote was to follow the command before firing, otherwise the most serious ones would have to be shot.

Although Chen Han now equips the musketeers with the most advanced muskets-flintlock guns.

The best bullets were also given - custom-loaded paper shell bullets.

It is much more advanced than the previous fire door gun, but one thing must be made clear, that is, the reloading speed is still not very fast.

So orderliness is very important.

Once there is disorder, a dense rain of bullets cannot be formed, and effective lethality cannot be formed.

It is under the guidance of this kind of thinking that the messenger becomes very important.

Although this messenger does not need to carry a gun and shoot the enemy personally, his judgment is the most important guarantee for whether the army can severely damage the enemy.

With this messenger, the soldiers can stay in order.

"One row, fight!!"

When the messenger saw that the enemy had reached fifty meters, he ordered to fire.

bang bang bang...

The soldiers opened fire.

Sure enough, under the intensive firepower, hundreds of people in front of the enemy were shot instantly.

Because the distance between the two is only fifty meters.

The effective lethality of the new flintlock gun is now about 200 meters. At a distance of 50 meters, the enemy does not wear any effective protective armor and will be penetrated instantly, or even two with one shot.

Ahhh...

The intensive attack by a row of 500 people gave the Majapahit army, which was almost densely packed and airtight, a chill. More than 700 people in the front row fell instantly, and at least 100 people in the back were injured.

"what happened?"

"what is going on?"

"The enemy is evil!"

"What weapons did they use?"

"They must be using witchcraft!"

"witchcraft!"

"They're using witchcraft!"

War is an art!
He didn't want it to be as logical as anything else.

This doesn't seem to do much damage, so you can charge forward anyway.

Even within this short distance, a few charges may be able to eat the opponent.

But no matter who goes to the battlefield, it is difficult for him to sacrifice his life to a certain extent.

Many soldiers who fight are not so willing to go to the battlefield, but the supervising team is behind them. If you dare to retreat, you will die.

So when this group of people saw that they hadn't even gotten close to each other, or even reached the jointly built shooting accuracy position, they were knocked down by hundreds of people on their side by weapons that emitted white smoke. The impact was really real. It's too big.

I was immediately frightened when I saw this scene.

No one dared to rush forward as they did just now, but thought about going backwards.

But in a war like this, especially one in which tens of thousands of people are crowded together, how can you alone decide how to move?

So in front of the Ming army, they saw a scene that made them very happy.

The Majapahit army in front did not want to rush forward, and the Majapahit army behind could not see what was going on in front. They did not dare to retreat because they could clearly see the bright swords of the supervising team charging. to them.

So those in the middle are out of luck, unable to enter or retreat.

Caught in the middle.

Many Majapahit troops were not killed by the Ming army, but were trampled to death by their own people.

Wang Bi saw this scene on the hillside and kept sending signals to the troops below.

For example: Don't attack too densely, leaving enough time for the soldiers to reload.

After the messenger received the order, the frequency of firing was indeed slower.

"Second row, fight!!"

bang bang bang...

After the orderer shouted the order, the gunner immediately opened fire.

If you are on flat ground, at this time you must consider finishing a row, retreating, and replacing it with a wave.

But now we have the advantage of a sloping ground. After the front row is finished, we should immediately stand up and refill the gunpowder.

Even if the brothers at the back squat down to aim and shoot, because there are several steps, they will not reach the heads of the brothers in the front row.

This is the most ideal terrain.

The reason why you have to stand up to reload ammunition is because if you squat for a long time, your legs will easily become numb, which is not conducive to aiming.

Looking at such details, the Ming army could notice it, how could they not win the battle.

After the second row finished fighting, they saw that five or six hundred people on the opposite side were wiped out again.

Now the enemy army became even more panicked. The enemy army in front refused to rush forward and pushed back desperately, which soon caused a serious stampede accident.

The enemy troops crowded in front had dug furrows in the ground, making it difficult to retreat.

"Back off! Back off!"

"The enemy has witchcraft! They are monsters, retreat back!"

"Withdraw!"

"Quickly retreat!"

"I'm going to fuck your mother! Get out now!"

"Ah... don't step on it! Don't step on it..."

"You can't push forward!"

"You have to move forward quickly!"

The general behind the valley saw the army retreating. He had no idea what was going on ahead.

He only knows that his task now is to move forward, how can he stop.

So he shouted the order: "No retreat! No one is allowed to retreat!!"
