Chapter 394 The Eight Banners Attacked

Kong Jie retreated into the trench, took out a fixed-load bullet from the bullet bag at his waist, bit off the tail of the paper shell bullet, stuffed the bullet into the muzzle, pushed it to the bottom with a straight bar, then picked up the bird gun, opened the medicine cover at the tail, put the lead medicine in, then covered the cover, and checked whether the fuse hanging on the neck was still burning.

The fuse was not extinguished, and Kong Jie hanged the fuse again on the hook connected to the rear of the bird gun trigger. This is the disadvantage of the fuse. After each shooting, the fuse will be bounced off. The fuse needs to be hung on the hook again before firing again. Moreover, when firing, the fuse will be bounced off by the explosive lead-in, which also prevents the bird gunner from being too dense, otherwise the fuse will easily hurt one's comrades. What's more serious is that once the bounced fuse accidentally touches the bullet bag on one's comrades, it is very likely to cause an ammunition explosion.

Kong Jie was loading very fast. It took only about one and a half minutes to load it. After the loading, he entered a fortress again and extended a bird gun from the shooting hole to shoot. He saw with his own eyes that the head of a Qing army in the green camp burst like a big watermelon hit by a hammer, and then he turned around and exited the fortress and continued to load ammunition.

The Ming army's twelve-pound howitzers also opened fire, and rows of shotguns were splashed out, and the Korean stick cannon fodders in front of them screamed and fell down a large area.

After the twelve-pound howitzer was powered, the turtledove guns in the hands of the auxiliary soldiers in the Ming army's fortress also opened fire. This time, the auxiliary soldiers loaded the turtledove guns with a shotgun. More than 500 turtledove guns were fired at the same time. The shotgun sprayed out like rain. The bullets like rain drilled into the Qing army's Goryeo soldiers and knocked down a large piece of Goryeo sticks.

With the successive power of the Ming army's flintlock rifles, bird guns, turtledove guns and cannons, the more than 10,000 Korean cannon fodder in front was almost completely lost. At this time, it was the turn of the Green Camp soldiers to come up as cannon fodder.

The Green Camp soldiers were the supervising team just now, and now it was their turn to be cannon fodder. The Green Camp soldiers were all wilted like eggplants beaten by frost. They were all the same. I will die. I will not die. When I was escorting others to die before, I felt better than the other one, but now it is my turn to die, so I am naturally extremely reluctant.

However, the Eight Banners soldiers behind were staring at them, and if they turned around and ran away at this time, they would not only be killed by the supervisory team for nothing, but also lost their pension after death. If they rush up and fell under the rain of bullets in the Ming army, their family would still get ten taels of silver pension after death.

Ten taels of silver are not a small amount, it is enough for the family to live for several years.

"Brothers, rush!" A green camp soldier with a scar on his face pulled out his sword and pointed forward, "Roar up! A dead person is facing the sky, and he will never die for thousands of years!"

After saying that, the fierce scarfaced rushed forward first. The green camp soldiers behind him were aroused by him, and they pulled out their swords and charged forward in the rain of bullets of the Ming army without hesitation.

The Green Camp soldiers stepped over the broken shield chariots everywhere, stepped on the corpses of Goryeo people all over the ground, and shouted and rushed towards the Ming army fortress more than twenty steps away in front. As a result, the shooting holes in the fortress kept spitting out flames, knocking the Green Camp soldiers into a pool of blood.

Kong Jie, who had already loaded up, found the most fierce scar face. He aimed at the target thirty steps away and pulled the trigger. He heard a roaring sound of guns. Kong Jie saw a ball of blood mist spurting out of the scar face's chest and fell backwards. He retreated and silently used a knife to carve a vertical line under the word "一" on the butt, which means that he had killed twelve Qing soldiers.

Every time the Qing army rushed within twenty steps, it was like hitting an insurmountable wall, and was shot back by the Ming army's artillery shotgun.

I don’t know how many Qing soldiers in the Green Camp were killed and injured, but finally someone began to climb the sandbags piled outside the city wall. When the Green Camp soldiers climbed up panting, their heads just appeared on the top of the city when they heard a row of gunfire sounds at the top of the city.

Blood splashed everywhere on the top of the city, and the green camp soldiers who had just climbed up the city were screaming and rolling down from the city.

Rows of iron-armored soldiers put down the fired flintlock rifle, took out the thunder from their waists, pulled the strings, and then threw the thunder from their feet.

The wooden handle with blue smoke thunder flew out in the air and landed at the foot of the city wall below the sandbag. Only a series of deafening explosions sounded at the foot of the city wall. The Green Camp soldiers climbing the sandbag were seriously injured.

"The fast attack is coming." Duoduo put down his telescope and said to the Quasi Tower beside him with satisfaction.

"Prince, look at the above again. Minggou's iron armored soldiers have come out." Junta said.

Duoduo picked up the telescope and looked at the platform above the fortress. He saw a row of Ming soldiers in iron armor standing on the platform. Under the sunlight, Ming soldiers in plate armor emitted a dazzling light, with silver light shining, looking majestic. From time to time, Qing army's feather arrows shot the iron armored soldiers, but the unscathed iron armored soldiers maintained their formation and advanced forward.

Duoduo put down his telescope, turned to Goshha and shouted: "It's time for our Eight Banners Warriors to come on!"

At this time, the Green Camp soldiers who had already attacked the top platform of the castle were fighting fiercely with the Ming army's iron armored soldiers. In fact, it was not so much a fierce battle, but rather a one-sided massacre of the Green Camp soldiers. The weapons in the hands of the Green Camp soldiers had no way to use those iron armored soldiers. The iron armored soldiers could easily kill the Green Camp soldiers with an axe. What's more, the iron armored soldiers were followed by a large number of new army flintlock spearmen.

The musketeers followed the iron armored soldiers, constantly outputting firepower and knocking down the green camp soldiers; the iron armored soldiers relied on their thick armor to act as a flesh shield for the musketeers behind them.

On the verge of the collapse of the formation of the Green Camp soldiers, the most elite Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing army finally moved.

"Kill the Ming Dog!" A large number of Eight Banners soldiers shouted and rushed towards the Ming Army Castle.

The flintlocked rifles in the fortress below the castle had all climbed onto the platform and output firepower behind the iron armored soldiers. At this time, only auxiliary soldiers were left behind the shooting holes in the fortress.

With the cover of the fortress, the auxiliary soldiers kept firing out of the shooting hole and knocked down many fierce Eight Banners soldiers. Kong Jie, who had just loaded up, extended the gun barrel from the shooting hole. He aimed at a Green Camp soldier when he was about to pull the trigger, but found that the Green Camp soldiers were following a large number of Eight Banners soldiers wearing lightning rod helmets and cotton armor.

So Kong Jie turned the gun barrel, gently let the Green Camp soldier go, and aimed at the Eight Banners soldier behind the Green Camp soldier. He held his breath and waited for the Eight Banners soldier to rush to the point where there were only twenty-five steps left from the shooting hole before he pulled the trigger.

"Boom" a deafening gun sounded, and twenty-five steps away the Eight Banners soldier sprayed a blood sword, screaming and falling backwards.

Kong Jie hurriedly left the shooting hole, and another auxiliary soldier came up and shot the gun barrel from the shooting hole to pull the trigger. Just after the auxiliary soldier finished shooting, he was about to exit the shooting hole. Who knew that a feather arrow accurately drilled in through the shooting hole and stabbed the auxiliary soldier in the face. Only a scream was heard, and the auxiliary soldier fell down.

The Eight Banners soldiers' archery skills were very accurate. From time to time, feather arrows drilled into the shooting hole accurately. Many auxiliary soldiers hiding behind the shooting hole were caught in the face and fell down screaming.

However, the auxiliary soldiers in the fortress were also shooting fiercely outside, and many Eight Banners soldiers were shot and fell. Although the exchange ratio between the two sides was comparable, the auxiliary soldiers were lost on one side, while the archers who had been trained for many years were lost. Such exchanges were obviously very unfavorable to the Qing army.

"Bang bang bang" A crisp sound of muskets sounded from the fortress in the distance. The self-generated poison guns in the hands of the scattered soldiers of the Ming army opened fire. Almost every rifled rifle shot a row of bullets, and the Eight Banners Arrowmen fell down.
