“All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-All-

However, what Zhang Hanqing did not expect was that just as he finished speaking, the sound of the Ming army's muskets on the opposite side sounded again, without the pause he imagined.

‘What’s going on? Why does Mingjun’s muskets seem to be not loaded?’

When they rushed forward with the continuous fire of the five military camps, not only Zhang Hanqing, but also other rebel soldiers were also full of doubts and confusion.

"I said you can't put these barbarians closer and then hit them. I haven't even released this arrow yet, so we can enjoy it!"

Just as the Bozhou rebels were still wondering about the continuous fire of the Ming army's muskets, the Ming army, looking at the enemies who were constantly falling under the shooting of the muskets in front of the formation, the archers couldn't help but start to complain.

There is no way. Although the maximum range of the step bow in their hands can reach about 140 steps, at this distance, let alone the accurate head. The arrow shot out has no lethality at all, and can only waste the arrow.

If you want to shoot the enemy effectively, you must at least put the opponent at a distance of 80 steps. But at this distance, the arrows shot by ordinary soldiers are not accurate at all. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the Ming army's infringing archers will shoot arrows at a distance of about 50 steps.

But now, let alone fifty steps, when the flintlock rifled gun started shooting from a distance of two hundred steps, the Bozhou rebels who rushed to the formation had not even rushed to a distance of one hundred and twenty steps!

"Haha, just keep some strength. This is just an appetizer. Do you think Yang Yinglong is stupid, he will be so stupid that he only uses ten thousand barbarians to rush forward?"

Indeed, when the muskets of the Fifth Army Camp sounded, Yang Yinglong on the opposite side had already noticed their muskets.

There is no way, a distance of two hundred steps, let alone bows and arrows, even crossbows cannot hurt people at this distance.

So, seeing that ten thousand men had fallen nearly half before they even rushed out of a hundred steps, Yang Yinglong immediately began to re-allocate the attacking forces.

"Lou Guo, you will lead another 10,000 people to support Sun Hanqing in the front attack. He Hanliang and Yang Zhaolin, you will lead 10,000 people to attack from left and right. Remember to prepare more crossbows to suppress their muskets!"

It has to be said that although Yang Yinglong has a violent and cruel personality, he still has this basic military literacy. He instantly thought of using the large number of crossbows equipped by the Bozhou Army to suppress the Ming army's muskets.

You should know that although the firing rate of this crossbow is also lower than that of the bow and arrow, at least the firing range and strength are stronger than that of the bow and arrow. Therefore, when the troops are superior, it is the most suitable to suppress the fire guns of the Ming army.

...

"Facial armor, put on the facial armor! Shield player is careful and beware of the barbarian's crossbow arrows!"

Seeing the large number of raised crossbows in the attack formation that came from the opposite side again, Zhao Zhilong quickly called everyone to put down the armor and shield hands.

Speaking of which, although there are not as many firearms as Yulin Guards, it is precisely because of this that the shield players used to deal with crossbows, the Five Military Camp has more guards than Yulin Guards equipped with all firearms.

There is no way, the Yulin Guard's combat philosophy is to use attack instead of defense, and to block the enemy from the range of the crossbow and press it against the attack. And even if the enemy rushes into the shooting distance of the crossbow, there are still grenades and armor on his body!

"Swish swish swish swish swish..."

Faced with the three-sided siege of more than 30,000 Bozhou troops, there were only two thousand flintlock guns and no "massive weapon" such as tiger squat cannons, as a supplementary firepower, the Five Military Camps, which soon could no longer block the enemy a hundred steps away.

If you cannot stop it a hundred steps away, it means that the enemy has the means to fight back.

Therefore, with the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air, dense crossbow arrows instantly bit towards the fifth army camp.

"Tu tu tu tu tu..."

"Ding Ding Ding Ding..."

“Ah~”

As the light suddenly darkened, dense crossbow arrows fell into the formation of the Five Military Camps in just one moment.

However, thanks to the well-made Ming armor in Beijing, even when facing this crossbow arrow that is much stronger than the bow and arrow, except for the soldiers who are really unlucky to be shot at the critical point, most of the soldiers were only slightly injured in flesh and blood. They did not end up like in movies and TV dramas, no matter how thick the armor you have, anyway, as long as the arrow is shot, it will definitely end up with a burp.

"Everything is available, grenade preparation!"

Under the suppression of the rebels' crossbows, seeing that the rebels were getting closer, Zhao Zhilong simply gave up the counterattack of the bow and arrow and musket, preparing to hold on until the enemy entered the throwing distance of the grenade.

"Everyone is ready!"

Just as Zhao Zhilong resisted the rebels' attack and was about to use the killer weapon of the grenade to give the opponent a fatal blow, Zhang Weiming, as the main general, turned around and issued an order to prepare for the two thousand soldiers in the city.

"bomb!"

Just when Zhang Weiming ordered the soldiers to get on the horse, after resisting the opponent's attack of a round of crossbow arrows, Zhao Zhilong suddenly stretched out his hand and raised a grenade with a faint blue smoke immediately emerged, and each of them threw the rebels surrounding him over.

"Swoosh swish swish swish..."

Soon, thousands of grenades that were also emitting light blue smoke flew out of the military formation and smashed towards the Bozhou rebels around them!

"Stone? Are these Ming dogs beaten to death?"

Looking at the "little stones" flying out of the Ming army from afar, Yang Yinglong and a group of rebel generals in the distance were immediately confused.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

It didn't make Yang Yinglong and others confused for a long time. As the dense "bolts of the blue" sounded, the rebels who were about to rush into the Ming army were instantly blown away and they were wailing.

"Damn the barbarian, look at my palm, hahahaha!"

Looking at the Bozhou rebels who were blown up and howled, a barman from Yulin Guard threw out the grenade again, but he couldn't help but yell.

"Oh my God, it turns out it's the thunder in the palm of the Heavenly Master Mansion!"

Many rebels who were already frightened by grenades, were frightened to death after hearing the three words "Palm Thunder". They turned around and ran away, regardless of whether they could escape.

There is no way, these rebels are basically Miaomin and some other "barbarians", and they have always been superstitious. So it would be strange if they are not afraid when they see their companions blown by the "palm thunder"!

"Eat my palm thunder!"

"The thunder in the palm of the Heavenly Master Mansion is coming!"

Seeing that the three words "Palm Thunder" were so useful, the soldiers of the five military camps immediately followed suit, and they shouted the three words "Palm Thunder" when they were throwing, and some even brought out the Tianshi Mansion.

Now it's good. Originally, only a few people knew that the Ming army had "Thunder in the Palm". After the shouts from thousands of Ming troops, they all knew about it.

"Run quickly, the Ming army has the thunder in the palm of Zhang Tianshi..."

Just kidding, how can the flesh and blood of mortals fight against the immortal divine thunder? Accompanied by the roar of "palm thunder", the Bozhou rebels instantly released the sheep and turned around and ran wildly.

"Open the city gate!"
