Chapter 383 Enjoying a Baby-like Sleep
The other barbarian cavalrymen all shouted, "Fourteenth Master! Give the order! I see that the collapsed wall hasn't been repaired yet. We can definitely take it with a single charge!"
If it were the era of cold weapons, facing his men's willingness to fight, Zuo Jiha Lang would probably applaud and praise the barbarian men for their bravery. But now, as the Fourteenth Master, he at least had intelligence. He knew that China had entered the era of firearms, and he also knew clearly what artillery was.
and so……
As soon as he saw the black thing on the opposite city wall, he clearly understood that the other party must have come with weapons.
Soldiers can get things done based on their bravery, but leaders cannot, because a single misjudgment could cost the lives of all your men.
But if they just leave like this, what are they doing here?
If the news got back, it would be stupid that Zuo Jihalang threw a shuriken from thirty miles away and was scared away by the Qin army's artillery.
So Zuo Jihalang immediately sent the soldier who was about to charge, and asked him to go and investigate what was going on. After finding out, he should come back and report, and it would not be too late to send troops later.
The soldier who was named was also helpless!
Originally, he said this to show off his bravery, okay? But with the Fourteenth Master's attitude, he had to show off on his own!
Although he was a bit timid, fortunately he was riding a horse. If something went wrong, he would always have time to run away, right?
That's it...
The warrior rode his horse, howling like a ghost, and headed towards the gap in the Goryeo capital.
The Qin army on the city wall had actually noticed these people a long time ago, but they ignored them because they didn't take the barbarian cavalry of equal numbers seriously. Even if the other side was real barbarians, not the two Qi troops and the two barbarians!
If they encountered the enemy in the wild, they might have to deploy their troops and be in a panic.
But we're already in the city, okay? They're all having lunch and afternoon tea inside, and these guys are just arriving! What's wrong with the cavalry? Can you barbarian cavalry actually attack a city on horseback?
Not only were they not nervous at all, even the two Qin soldiers on the wall made a bet when they saw the idiot coming towards them screaming and yelling.
"Hey, do you think I can kill that guy with one shot?"
Hearing this, the guy next to him looked at the barbarian cavalry approaching from a distance, then looked at the gun in his hand. He said, "I admit that you, Zhang Chao, are the best marksman in our regiment! But, isn't that a bit far away? If you can hit it, you'll be awesome!"
"Underestimating me? Believe it or not, do you see those flowers over there? As soon as this guy gets there, I guarantee he'll get his head blown off immediately!"
Zhang Chao pointed to the distant flowers on the grass below the city wall, and everyone was amazed by what he heard.
What kind of eyesight is that? How can he see so far away, there is a flower on the grass?
"Stop bragging! If you can hit it from such a distance, especially when it's a moving target, I'll wash your stinky socks for you...for a month!"
"This is what you said!"
Just like that, under the urging of the crowd, Zhang Chao picked up the rifle in his hand.
Take out a bag of gunpowder, bite it open and pour it into the gun chamber, then take out the bullet and put it in, and also carry a small wooden hammer with you to knock inside.
The range of a rifled musket is vastly different from that of a flintlock, but because of the rifling inside, loading a bullet is a difficult task! To get the bullet in from the front, you have to hammer it in.
Because the inside is not smooth, it has spiral patterns.
After finishing, Zhang Chao picked up the gun in his hand. His rifle was different from others.
Not only is there a "monocular telescope" installed on it, but the barrel is also longer than others. Fortunately, this guy is over 1.8 meters tall, otherwise it would be difficult to load bullets with such a long barrel.
After he was done, he aimed at the barbarian who was still howling and pulled the trigger.
boom!
I only saw the horse just arrive near the flower, and then the barbarian cavalryman's helmet flew up directly, and the man fell backwards to the ground, unconscious no longer.
The Qin soldiers at the scene were stunned. Holy crap! This is incredible! So far away? And it hit the cavalry while they were moving, and it was a precise shot in the head. What kind of marksmanship is this?
They were dumbfounded, and the barbarian cavalry on the opposite side spoke the truth collectively.
"Altai is charging!"
“Altai is howling!”
"Altai is sleeping!"
Everyone was excited when they saw their bravest cavalry charging with howls, but what made them depressed was that the Korean civilians at the foot of the wall were in a panic, but were ordered by the Qin army guarding them not to run away. They pretended not to see anything and continued to repair the city wall.
The most infuriating thing was that the Qi soldiers on the wall were pointing at Altai and laughing, like they were playing with monkeys.
when?
The barbarians are not satisfied with playing, and the invincible army with tens of thousands of enemies has become a laughing stock of these people?
Damn it! This is such a shame and humiliation!
Everyone was shouting at Zuo Jiharang, "Fourteenth Master, give the order!"
"Fourteenth Master, these Qi people are simply too abominable. I want to capture this city, I want to rip off their smiling faces and use them as a snack for my wine, I want to see if they can still smile when the time comes."
but……
Zuo Jihalang didn't say anything, just stared ahead, which made the soldiers very angry.
Until there was a loud bang, everyone was petrified on the spot, not daring to move.
Shit! They suddenly thought, it’s really nice to stay here. If they charge now, will they be the ones lying on the ground sleeping like a baby?
"This group of Qi people, what kind of weapons are they using?"
"Did they cast a spell? Why did Altai die?"
"It looks like a musket! A brother who came back injured saw it before."
The entire barbarian team was in a panic. How could the Qi army have such powerful weapons? What should they do now?
Do we all still want to charge forward?
For a moment, everyone was at a loss and began to panic. They all turned their heads to look at the Fourteenth Master Zuo Jihalang.
Zojihalang squinted his eyes at the top of the wall. He suddenly noticed that although the Qin army didn't seem to have any iron or armor, almost every one of them was armed with the same weapon that had just killed Altai. Not only that, there were also black cannons between the parapets. If these were enlarged muskets...
What can these three thousand people do?
Three thousand men might be enough to deal with the entire Goryeo, but he really had no idea how to deal with the Qin army that had a strong city and firearms.
"Everyone! Retreat!"
