Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 396 Severe Challenge

"These Tartars are really brave, cannons in red clothes can't blow them up? They are worthy of being eagles on the grassland! But let you have a taste of the power of my Ming sniper!"

Seeing these armored and heavily armored cavalry from the Mongol Tartars continue to rush towards them amidst the flurry of artillery fire, Lin Yi's sneering face showed a hint of cruelty.

Once again in the range of sniping, Lin Yiguo disconnected the gun, and a bullet accurately nailed into the left eye of an armored cavalry with the sound of the gun. As blood and flesh spattered, the tartar screamed and fell off his saddle. Suddenly, he was trampled by the horses rushing from behind, leaving no one in sight.

Ji Dong's shot showed the direction for the other five snipers, and they stopped shooting at the chaotic camel artillery team, because it didn't make much sense to shoot at the already paralyzed team. The target turned to the rolling armored cavalry.

These armored warriors are undoubtedly their greatest threat.

Now the five snipers are getting more and more calm, including the thirty auxiliary soldiers, and they are getting more and more confident in themselves. They feel that they are too great, and just over 30 of them can be worth fighting. The mighty army of the Tartars will brag proudly wherever they go in the future.

But the team in front of them is another serious challenge for them.

Because of their metal armor, not only they but also their horses are covered with metal armor, only 4 hooves are exposed underneath, only the eyes of the horse are exposed in front, and the rest are covered by the metal armor , This is the real iron cavalry.

It is said that this team, no matter whether they are men or horses, will do nothing for them. The soldiers of these women's battalions will listen to the soldiers of the men's battalion describe the thrilling defeat outside the capital of the Qing Dynasty not long ago.

Therefore, the snipers of the five women's battalions now aimed their muskets at their eyes.

Because these Mongolian Tartars, no matter how strong the metal armor is, no matter how tightly sealed, their eyes must be exposed.In addition, the nostrils and mouth must also be exposed, but the nostrils and mouth on the armor can be designed to face downwards, only the eyes are and must be exposed.

So they followed Ji Dong's example and used the two eyes of the Tartars as their shooting targets, which undoubtedly made it more difficult for them.

But compared to the difficulty of shooting Xiangtou 200 meters away at night, this difficulty is nothing to them.

Some female snipers really feel unsure, so they aim at the eyes of the horses. The concept of shooting people first shoots horses is not incorrect.After all, the eyes of a war horse are much larger than those of a human, and it is easier to aim at a larger target.

So after Ji Dong's gun went off, the five snipers crackled and pulled the triggers in their hands.

The bullets flew towards the Tartars' men and horses accurately. When the gunshots fired, the Tartars who rushed in front were either hit in the left eye, the right eye, or the horse's eyes. middle.

No matter which eye was hit, these Mongolian Tartars would scream and fall off their horses.Then he was trampled like mud by the armored warhorse rushing over from behind.

A shot in the eye of a horse is not much better. A galloping horse suddenly has one eye popped out, and the livestock can't stand it. It's also the horse that is turned over by others, and the horses are still falling off the horse. Doom.

Because no matter how tightly they are covered in heavy armor, even though they can stand up to being chopped with knives and axes, sometimes they are safe from being hit by muskets.

But they can't stand the trampling of the war horses. These armored war horses trample people too hard. One horse can't do two, two can't do N horses. People, even people made of iron, have to be trampled flat.

All of a sudden, the Tartars rushing to the front were shot and fell off their horses, and most of these Tartars who were shot and fell from their horses escaped death.

But these Tartars are really ruthless. Faced with the fierce bombardment of the red-clothed cannons and the indiscriminate shooting of these Ming snipers, the Tartars who survived the disaster are of course the majority and are still rushing forward. They are getting closer.

200 meters...150 meters...100 meters...

This is the distance they can use bows and arrows to fight back immediately, and these Mongolian Tartars are also good at drawing bows immediately.

So these Tartars rushed forward, while shooting the prepared bows and arrows at Ji Dong and the others.

It’s just that he was shooting blindly. The reason for shooting blindly is that they still haven’t found a Ming army. They only know that these powerful Ming soldiers must be lurking on the wormwood and trees not far in front, so they can only rely on their senses. shoot arrows.

Even so, the wind of arrows was whistling, and arrows flowed like rain. From time to time, arrows fell into the wormwood, some passed through the branches of trees, and fell on the grass, some were directly nailed to the trunk, and some were inserted obliquely into the grass. .

"75... 89... 93..." The little Han girl next to Lin Yi, who was in charge of handing the gun, obviously speeded up, and her face became tense at this time.

But Ji Dong still kept pushing her, "Hurry up! Hurry up... Hurry up..."

Now Ji Dong is not afraid of exposing the target, he takes the gun and shoots without needing to aim at all.

This was because the Tartars were getting closer and closer. At this time, the five auxiliary soldiers could not keep up.

Some of them were responsible for reloading, some were responsible for filling explosives, and some were passing guns, that is, they took away the used guns from Ji Dong's hands and reloaded them, and then handed over the loaded muskets to Ji Dong to shoot.

The five female battalion soldiers are in an assembly line, and each is responsible for a link. They cooperate with each other, and they are all agile. One by one, the muskets are in their hands as quickly as a shuttle. They are all carefully selected gun masters. All of them are very proficient in operating this kind of self-seeking flintlock, loading and reloading the gun, switching the safety, they can complete these tasks with their eyes closed.

But even so, the five of them couldn't support Ji Dong alone now. In the two sniper battles just now, the five of them served Ji Yi alone, and they all felt very relaxed, but now they are a little stretched.

Because from the beginning to now, their Master Lin has fired nearly a hundred bullets, and the six muskets have gone through fifteen or sixteen rounds, and some of the barrels of the guns are already hot to the touch.

It was a long time ago that a single musket fired so many times in such a short period of time.

And now Ji Dong is still speeding up, they have to race against time, if they can't confess to the adults, it will be bad, so the five girls speed up, come as fast as they can, they spare no effort, unknowingly they Already drenched in sweat.

At this time, none of the five girls cared about seeing where these armored men rushed to and how far away they were, so they had no time to care about these things. They all concentrated on their own division of labor, just like the production flow in a factory. production line, because once a link fails to keep up, it will affect the entire production line, and the consequences are of course very serious.

Even though the arrows passed through the grass branches and leaves in front of their faces from time to time, they all turned a blind eye.

"Ok!"

Suddenly the little Han girl let out a deep cry. When the other girls watched, a long arrow pierced through the wormwood, pierced through the armor, and nailed hard to her right side of the abdomen, and immediately the bright red blood gushed out continuously.

"Oh, you're hurt?" the other girl yelped when she found out and handed the gun loaded and ammunition.

"Shut up! Give me the gun!"

The little girl held back the pain with just a cry, and then desperately covered the wound with one hand, and snatched the loaded gun from another girl with the other hand, and handed it to the girl. Lin Yi said, "My lord, 98!"

"Can you do it? Why don't you take a break first... Hold on and let them come..." Lin Yi took the gun and looked at the arrow on her lower right abdomen and the bean-sized beads of sweat on her face, frowning. wrinkled.

"My lord, I'm fine, I can do it!" The little girl bit her pink lips tightly and nodded vigorously. At this time, the blood in her abdomen had already stained her armor...

In just such a delay, a tartar had already rushed 50 meters away from Ji Dong.

50 meters may be a long way, but for a fast-running horse, this is a very dangerous distance. It can be said that it is close at hand, and it can be reached in the blink of an eye, because Ji Dong has already seen his horse soaring, and the tartar opened his eyes. Dazui, raised the long saber in his hand high, and was about to face the fellows under the several big wormwood trees that were hiding together.

"Pa—" Lin Yi raised his hand and fired a shot. It may be because he was too close, or it may be because the gun contained a little more explosives. This shot was louder than any other shot.

As a puff of white smoke dissipated, the tartar's head was blown out. The bullet shot in from the mouth and flew out from the back of the head, blowing off the skull, and the colorful brains and blood were scattered all over the place. Flowers exploded in the air, so that his helmet couldn't fit anymore, and he flew too.

This Tartar didn't even have a chance to scream, because he opened his mouth wide just now, but now he threw the knife and fell off the horse, dying desperately.

After the horse was cut off, even the head was gone, and it became a mass of blood scattered in the grass and trampled by the horse.Because this time also frightened his war horse, the iron armored horse without an owner was startled, and with a long hiss, it rushed towards the iron armored horse behind.

At this time, a mandarin followed the horse not far behind. After the man in front was shot in the head by Ji Yi, the bullet still remained and hit his nose bone. Fortunately, there was an iron mask to block it. All of a sudden, with a bang, bloody bullets splashed everywhere, then changed direction and flew down the grass.

Although the bullet missed him, the sparks just hit his eyes, and he couldn't open his eyes for a moment. The pain made him groan, and he rubbed his eyes with his hands, but he still held the rein. Changing direction, the armored warhorse sat down and rushed towards their own team in a circle.

The war horse suddenly changed direction, and the tartar on the horse couldn't sit still, and fell off the horse, just rolled under the horse's hoof, and was crushed immediately.

The two armored cavalry horses without their owners ran wildly and randomly, and the iron cavalry of these Tartars rushing towards Ji Yi got messed up.

Ji Dong took this opportunity to shoot more than a dozen shots in a row, and more than a dozen Tartars fell off their horses in response, rolling to the ground, blood staining the grass and trees.

Now the Tartars behind didn't dare to rush over, they changed directions one after another in the chaos, some ran back, some rushed in other directions, the chaos...

Ji Dong was able to breathe here, but when he turned his head to see the five snipers, Ji Dong was taken aback...
