The rise of the poor

Chapter 2129 The Massacre Begins

"The massacre has begun! Officers and soldiers, are you ready to go to the west? Grandpa will send you off now! Kill!"

After a round of arrows, the Japanese pirates had rushed to more than 40 meters in front of the Zhejiang army. They were all full of confidence, with bloodthirsty looks on their faces. They shouted and killed ferociously, holding Japanese swords and other weapons, and jumped forward impatiently.

Forty meters

Thirty-nine meters

Thirty-eight meters

In just a few breaths, the Japanese pirates had pounced, leaped and rushed to a distance of more than 30 meters in front of the Zhejiang army.

The Zhejiang soldiers in the front row could clearly see the hideous wrinkles on the Japanese pirates' faces, their yellow teeth showing when they roared, and their bloodshot eyeballs and whites.

"It seems that the Zhejiang army is really scared. The men have rushed to a distance of 30 meters, but they are still motionless. A massacre is about to begin." Mao Haifeng slightly pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a bloodthirsty grin.

"The massacre has begun." At this time, Otomo Sadakawa couldn't help but reveal a bloodthirsty smile.

"My sword is thirsty for blood! Prepare to die, you dog!"

"Kill!"

"Kill all the Zhejiang dogs!"

The Japanese pirates shouted and killed ferociously, brandished their Japanese swords, and rushed towards the Zhejiang army that was close at hand. They were like a tiger about to rush into a flock of sheep, and they could not wait to start a killing spree.

"put!"

At this moment, a long-suppressed shout rang out in the Zhejiang Army camp, like a bolt from the blue.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

As soon as the Zhejiang Army's sergeant finished speaking, a dense and orderly burst of musketry sounded. The three rows of soldiers in the first team of the Zhejiang Army, squatting, bending over, and standing upright, opened fire at the same time, and flames and smoke filled the air.

In front of them, blood-red waves exploded from the bodies of the Japanese pirates who were descending from the mountain like tigers.

"what!"

"Uh!"

"Help!"

The Japanese pirates screamed miserably, and fell to the ground one after another like wheat being cut by a knife in a wheat field.

The first team of Zhejiang Army's muskets killed almost all of the Japanese pirates in the front row who were charging fiercely. Only a few dozen of the Japanese pirate generals who were rushing in the front were still standing, and the others were all knocked down.

The reason why the line-up shooting tactic was so popular in the era of muskets and why the British lobster soldiers, who were very lacking in virtue, regarded it as their guiding principle was because of the terrifying lethality of the line-up shooting tactic. The lethality of a musket attacking the face at close range was enough to scare the enemy to death.

The Zhejiang Army formed a long and narrow line of rifle troops, with three rows of soldiers in each team, four hundred men in each row, and a total of one thousand two hundred men in one team.

Twelve hundred muskets firing at the same time, what a scene this is, it means that twelve hundred bullets are hitting the face at the same time.

Thirty meters, such a close distance, and such dense bullets, the Japanese pirates could not avoid them even if Bodhidharma were alive.

Moreover, the lethality of the musket is beyond the reach of bows and arrows, not to mention that the gunpowder of the Zhejiang Army's musket is black gunpowder that Zhu Ping'an has improved with knowledge beyond this era, and its lethality is doubled.

Although the Japanese pirates in the front row were the elite among the elite, they were all wearing iron armor and even leather armor inside the iron armor, but they were still as fragile as paper in front of the muskets at a distance of 30 meters.

One shot into the soul.

The iron armor was easily torn apart by the musket bullets and penetrated deep into the internal organs. The unlucky Japanese pirates were even pierced through by the muskets.

This terrifying killing power and this terrifying killing efficiency directly stunned the Japanese pirates.

its not right!

no!

That's not what the script is like!

Shouldn't the script be that we rush over and launch a bloody, inhumane massacre against the Zhejiang Army? !

The script is reversed?!

The Japanese pirates were stunned by the first round of musket fire from the Zhejiang Army.

In the previous second, Mao Haifeng and Otomo Sadakawa of the Japanese pirates' center army had the crooked-mouthed dragon king look on their faces as if they were thinking "the massacre is about to begin". In the next second, they saw the first team of the Zhejiang army firing a volley of muskets. The Japanese pirates who had rushed to the front of the Zhejiang army thirty meters away were like wheat being mowed, and were mowed one after another. The curves of their mouths withered instantly.

Before they could react, the three rows of soldiers from the first team of the Zhejiang Army opened fire and retreated, and the second team came up.

One out, one in, smoother than Dove.

After the second team of Zhejiang troops came up, they squatted, bent over, and stood up straight in the blink of an eye, holding their muskets horizontally.

"Release!" an order was given.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The second team of Zhejiang army soldiers opened fire, and the neat and dense sound of muskets rang out again.

A burst of fire lit up, and the smoke around became heavier.

On the opposite side, blood-red waves bloomed again, one after another, and the blood-red waves were vying to bloom, beautiful and charming.

The Japanese pirates let out screams one after another, and once again fell down one after another like wheat being cut in a wheat field.

After the second group of Japanese pirates opened fire, they retreated again. The third group of Zhejiang troops came up, very smoothly.

Another shout of “release!”

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Another round of neat and dense musketry sounds rang out, another large field of blood-red flowers bloomed, another round of screams were heard, and another group of Japanese pirates fell to the ground.

The total time spent firing these three rounds of musketry was only a few tens of seconds, not even a minute.

The Japanese pirates fell to the ground one after another. In less than a minute, more than a thousand Japanese pirates fell to the ground.

At a distance of thirty meters, the Zhejiang Army opened fire in such a dense line without even having to aim, and the hit rate reached an astonishing level.

The Japanese pirates had expected it right. It was indeed a massacre, but they had mistaken their targets. They thought they were the butchers and the Zhejiang army were the lambs to be slaughtered. But in the end, in this massacre, the Zhejiang army became the butchers and they became the lambs to be slaughtered.

Before they even reached the Zhejiang Army, before they even inflicted any harm on them, they had already lost more than a thousand people.

This is no longer just a massacre, it is a bloodbath, and the efficiency of this massacre is too brutal.

It was just three teams of Zhejiang troops firing a round of musketry!

The Zhejiang Army has a formation like this, and there are three more behind them. By the time they are all released, won’t all of our elite front troops be wiped out? !

"Fuck!"

"Dad! Mom!"

"help!"

The injured Japanese pirates who fell to the ground screamed for help. The Japanese pirates behind who were not hit by the muskets saw their Japanese friends falling in front of them and beside them. They were so scared that they cried for their parents and their momentum of rushing forward was instantly slowed down.

The Japanese pirates in front stopped in fright, but the ones behind couldn't stop. The inertia of their bodies made them rush onto the pirates in front. The already messy formation of the Japanese pirates became even more messy at this moment.

"No! The Zhejiang Army is too fierce! Run!"

"We can't run! If we charge into the Zhejiang army's formation, their muskets will become useless. That's when it's time for us to take revenge!"

"I'm going to charge at you!"

"Damn it, did you think the leaders would let you go if you ran away?!"

The Japanese pirates were stunned by the three rounds of fire from the Zhejiang Army. Some of them wanted to escape, but some were very brave and continued to charge forward. For a while, the Japanese pirates' formation was in a mess. (End of this chapter)
