Two hundred gunners lined up.
These two hundred musketeers were affiliated with the Royal Horse Guards. Qin Kan was ordered to leave the capital. Zhang Yong received 500,000 taels of silver to relieve his urgent need. In order to thank the righteous Marquis of Qin, he generously seconded two thousand warriors. The soldiers of the battalion also selflessly dedicated these two hundred gunmen. The four words "eating people with short mouths" were very typical for Eunuch Zhang.
Originally, Qin Kan thought that they were not needed and had been using them as honor guards for imperial envoys. Unexpectedly, they were actually used today.
Three rows of gunners lined up from squatting to standing, the black muzzles of their guns aimed at the hills beside the official road. After the first round of firing, many muffled screams were heard in the grass, and crossbow arrows filled the sky. After a while, after the second round of salvos, the arrow rain had been completely suppressed, and only a few scattered arrows were shot out without pain.
Qin Kan¡¯s right arm was in excruciating pain. It was the first time he discovered that dislocating his arm was so painful. While he was sweating from the pain, he kept staring at the musketeers firing their guns, and he had a rough idea of ??the power of the two-round muskets.
Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty's bird muskets still use the front barrel filled with matchlock. The process is very complicated. First, gunpowder is stuffed into the barrel, tamped with a small iron rod, then lead bullets are filled, and finally a igniting matchcord is pulled out from the top of the tail. When used, a match is lit, and the match burns into the barrel of the gun, igniting the gunpowder in the tube to form a small explosion, which triggers lead bullets to shoot out and injure the enemy. The principle is actually similar to that of fireworks hundreds of years later.
Qin Kan watched the entire filling and firing process intently. He counted the time silently and found that to complete the entire process of attacking the enemy, based on the time in his previous life, it would take about two or three minutes to fire a shot, and the gunpowder should not be damp. , if it rains or snows, the bird gun will be completely useless and will be useless.
Qin Kan's brows furrowed. Before he left the capital, he was still thinking about whether to equip the five hundred young soldiers who had been trained in a low-key manner with firearms and then become a divine machine battalion dedicated to serving him. However, today he saw the bird with his own eyes. After shooting the gun, I found that if it is used on the battlefield, it is basically a disposable consumable. After firing once, you can only throw it away. After all, opportunities are fleeting on the battlefield, and the enemy will not wait for you for two or three minutes in a graceful manner. The second charge kills theirs.
The biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty was in the north. The greatest strength of the northern Tatars was cavalry, and the only weapons the Ming Dynasty could use were firearms. How to maximize their strengths and avoid their weaknesses was a big problem. This problem was not solved by the Ming Dynasty for nearly three hundred years. In the end In the end, they were invaded by foreign tribes from the north, which ended the Ming Dynasty, and the last Han Dynasty fell to the ground.
The firearms of the Ming Dynasty are indeed a strength, but this strength is not long enough, and the firearms still need to be improved.

Qin Kan, who was surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers, was thinking about the future of the Han Dynasty. The two hundred gunmen outside had fired several rounds of guns. The enemy was suppressed to the point where they could not raise their heads. The remaining officers and soldiers began to surround him on the left and right up the mountain. The entire situation has gradually turned from defensive to offensive.
The military commander was lying in the grass, staring at Qin Kan, who was dozens of feet away and being guarded by layers of soldiers, with vicious eyes.
If Qin Kan can be eliminated, Eunuch Liu will be promoted to an official and generously rewarded, and his future will be limitless. His future is just ten feet away in front of him, and it seems to be within reach.
A sharp look flashed in his eyes, and Wu Hu showed a crazy expression on his face.
Putting two fingers into his mouth, Wu Hu made a sharp whistle. When the Xichang subordinates who were lying in the grass heard the whistle, they immediately stood up from all over the hill. With a wave of the steel knife in his hand, less than three people were left. Hundreds of people actually launched a frantic attack on Qin Kan's location.
The military commander is not a reckless person. He dares to ambush Qin Kan with only 400 people. Naturally, he has the confidence. His confidence is the 400.
The West Factory reopened in the first year of Zhengde. In order for the West Factory to effectively control Jinyiwei and the East Factory, Liu Jin put a lot of effort into reorganizing the West Factory. He was very strict in the selection of personnel. The upper structure of the West Factory was naturally Gong. There are eunuchs here, and from the main stall down, they recruit people with martial arts skills.
Although the imperial court was somewhat disgusted with the Jianghu people, and many ministers had said repressive words such as "chivalry used force to break the ban", Liu Jin did not care so much. At that time, he first took over the power of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and had great control over Jinyiwei and Dongchang Zheng. At a time when he was extremely fearful, Mr. Liu needed an extraordinary armed force to contain the factory guards. The Jianghu people became the backbone of the West Factory at the beginning of its establishment.
There is a group of eunuchs who are accustomed to the intrigues in the palace to escort and guide the West Factory, and there is a group of desperadoes to drive them. In just one year, the West Factory has indeed formed a considerable restraint on Jin Yiwei and the East Factory. Dai Yi often cried in front of Qin Kan and complained about how Liu Jin bullied him. This can be seen in the development of Xichang.Got erect.
This time, Liu Jin spent a lot of money to get rid of Qin Kan, a thorn in his side. The people sent by the West Factory were all top martial arts masters. They were very powerful. They could be called an all-star lineup. This was also the reason for the military commanders to fight against the enemy even in the three thousand rebels. On the premise that he failed to arrive on time, he dared to ambush Qin Kan with only 400 people.
Qin Kan¡¯s gunmen in front knocked down a group of Xichang soldiers, and with the officers and soldiers outflanking them, the military commander finally became anxious and made a desperate decision.
If we can risk our lives to kill Qin Kan today, no matter how many people die, it will be worth it. Eunuch Liu will be rewarded heavily after returning to the capital. If Qin Kan is safe and sound, but so many masters have died in Xichang, he will be damned after returning to the capital. He was the one who became violent.
Following the military commander's order, Xichang's subordinates all dropped their crossbows and jumped out of the bushes, giving up long-range attacks. Everyone rushed towards the 200 gunmen like crazy. After several rounds of muskets, they had already killed nearly Xichang. Hundreds of people, this threat must be removed first.
Soon, Xichang Fanzi rushed in front of the gunman. Once he got into close combat, the gunfire lost all its power.
The masters of the West Factory were extremely powerful, and their attacks were often fatal with one move. They were extremely vicious. Li Er, who was watching from a distance, had a serious expression on his face. He had not yet pulled out the arrow from his shoulder. He was grinning in pain, but he shouted loudly and surrounded him on both sides. The school captains closed up and shrank, and the more than a hundred school captains blocking Qin Kan's body also put their swords on top of him.
With screams, the bird gunners fell down one by one in front of the masters of the West Factory. These masters used vicious attacks and focused on the fatal points. Few of the fallen were injured, and all of them died.
The situation is getting more and more critical.
"Master Marquis, let the soldiers protect you and retreat first. These hundreds of people are not easy to attack. They are so powerful that we may not be able to stop them" Li Er said anxiously.
"Fart! There are strong winds and waves. A few hundred people were so scared that I ran away. Do you still want my face? Li Er, if you dare to retreat again, I will kill you in front of the formation!" Qin Kan snapped.
Hearing screams one after another, Qin Kan's face twitched violently several times, but his mind was spinning rapidly.
No wonder a few hundred people here dared to ambush him. It turns out that it¡¯s not like a fierce dragon can cross the river. This group of people does have some real skills. I just underestimated them.
At this time, the outflanking captains had also gathered together, but the outflanking had no effect. The West Factory masters did not wait for them to attack, so they all rushed to the official road and fought with the gunners. Look at their skills. After finishing After the gunshots were fired, it was the turn of the captains. It seemed obvious that the captains were no match for them.
The two sides have been fighting until now. Qin Kan, who originally had a slight advantage in military strength, has lost his advantage at this moment. If the situation continues to develop, the possibility of being captured alive or even killed by these hundreds of enemies is increasing.
Li Er stamped his feet and said anxiously: "Master Hou, if you don't run away, how can you deal with the situation in front of you? Please ask Master Hou to get a charter."
Qin Kan took a deep breath, glanced over, and saw the grass where the Xichang master was lurking just now, and then flicked the crossbow arrow stuck behind Li Er's shoulder. Li Er's face turned pale in pain and he took a breath.
"Is this a crossbow?"
"yes¡¡"
"If there are crossbow arrows, there should be a crossbow, right?" Qin Kan thought thoughtfully.
"That's natural"
"Since they threw down their crossbows and engaged in close combat, let's use our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. Li Er, separate 200 people into the grass and find the crossbows they dropped"
"ah?"
¡°Shoot them!¡±
Li Er stayed for a moment, and then excitedly waved his hand behind him. Two hundred captains jumped into the grass decisively, and soon found nearly a hundred crossbows in the grass. It can be seen that in order to kill Qin Kan, the West Factory Committee was really determined. capital.
Hundreds of machine crossbows have changed their owners at this moment, and there are still arrows left in the crossbows. Just as the masters of Xichang slaughtered the bird gunners without realizing it, hundreds of machine crossbows were aimed at them.
It must be said that this was a stroke of genius. Even the warriors who were fighting did not expect that the hundreds of machine crossbows he ordered to throw down would cause him big trouble.
The quick wit of Mr. Qin is definitely not comparable to that of the stall owner of Xiaoxiaoxichang.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? A shotgun kill, when he looked up inadvertently, the military commander and the masters of the West factory were stunned.
Hundreds of crossbows were quietly ten steps away from them, surrounding them in a semicircle.
Li Er's eyes were focused on the center of the official road, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth. He shook the steel knife in his hand and shouted: "Fire the arrow!"
Whoosh whoosh!
The crossbows and arrows were fired, and dozens of Xichang masters fell to the ground in anger, while the rest fled in panic.
In the chaos, Wu Hu was filled with grief and anger, and shouted angrily: "How despicable! Let's pick up the blunderbuss and fight with them!"
Without hesitation, everyone subconsciously leaned down to pick up the blunderbuss, and then their movements stagnated and they fell silent.
"If Qin Kan could maintain his grace and give them time to calm down and fill the potion, tamp it, install the match rope, and light the firethen the two sides could be worthy of a battle. But now
The blunderbuss in the hands of the masters in Xichang are not much better than fire sticks.
Facing the pitiful gazes of the Jinyi captains, Wu Hu turned pale and looked up to the sky with a despairing sigh.
"Fight with them!" The masters of the West Factory raised their arms and shouted, swinging the gun in their hands like a tiger.
