My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 232: Night Massacre
Seeing Yan Wen fall to the ground, Sun Er quickly pulled the bolt to eject the bullet, and then loaded a new bullet.

He smiled proudly, it seems that his marksmanship is quite good, his usual hard training finally paid off at this moment.

The first time I shot an enemy with a needle gun, it felt completely different from hacking at an enemy at close range with a knife on the battlefield.

The pleasure of being able to control other people's life and death from a distance gave him a wonderful feeling as if he had the world under his control with a gun in his hand.

The Ming army soldiers squatting nearby took the opportunity to flatter him and said, "Sun Xiaoqi can shoot an arrow through a target at a hundred paces. What a great spearmanship!"

The other Ming soldiers also laughed and said, "Sun Xiaoqi can be said to have taken the enemy's head from a thousand miles away. It really opened our eyes!"

"Get lost, stop flattering me, and stay where you are!" Sun Er laughed and scolded, "If you aim well, you can shoot so well!"

Although everyone lowered their voices, they were still talking and laughing. There was no trace of tension at all, and the atmosphere seemed relaxed and joyful.

However, Yanlong looked at the Ming army soldiers with some fear. He said with difficulty: "Gang, what happened just now?"

"Your chieftain was shot in the head by our Lord Sun!" said a Ming army soldier without even turning his head, but everyone could hear his tone, and he was as proud as can be.

When these words were spoken, Yanlong was stunned, and Zhao Hanzhong was also a little unbelievable.

"Sun Xiaoqi, did you just shoot Yan Wen in the head?"

"That's right, Lord Zhao, our Sun Xiaoqi's marksmanship is very accurate!" Before Sun Er could reply, a Ming army soldier rushed to speak.

Zhao Hanzhong gave a thumbs up and said sincerely: "Sun Xiaoqi is amazing!"

Yanlong, on the other hand, was filled with horror and speechless. What kind of firearms were used by the Ming army that were so terrifying?
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, opened his mouth, and was about to shout to inform the outside, but at this moment, Zhao Hanzhong, who had been staring at him, picked up a dough-rolling mallet and smashed it hard on his head, knocking Yanlong unconscious instantly.

This made Sun Er and the others look at him with new eyes. "Sir Zhao, you are decisive and ruthless. You are a real man!"

At this moment, a hundred steps away from the bamboo building, Yan Han couldn't believe what he saw. After a while, he finally reacted, "Dad!"

He hurriedly came to Yan Wen and squatted down, only to see a black hole suddenly appearing on Yan Wen's forehead, with blood gushing out of the hole.

Looking at Yan Wen's tragic death with his eyes wide open, Yan Han felt a sense of fear rising in his heart.

In just a flash, his father, the chieftain of the entire Mansa Tea Mountain, died?

He looked incredulous. What on earth had just happened?
Yan Wen's private soldiers all showed expressions of horror when they saw his death.

Li Cang and Ruan Chengping, who were following the team, were stunned for a while. Suddenly, Ruan Chengping pulled Li Cang to hide under a stilt house on the side and shouted loudly:
"The Ming army is using firearms. Hurry, stop being stunned, and launch an attack to avenge the chieftain!"

Ruan Chengping's shout finally brought Yan Han and others back to their senses. At this time, Yan Han looked at Yan Wen's tragic death, trembling all over, and the fear in his heart gradually turned into rage.

He drew out his Dai knife, pointed it at the bamboo building where the Ming army was, and shouted angrily:
"Kill them all!"

"Kill!"

The private soldiers raised their swords and shouted as they rushed towards the bamboo building where the Ming army was.

Sun Er smiled contemptuously, aiming his gun and saying, "Don't be impatient, wait until the enemy gets closer, then aim, just like in normal training." Seeing the Tusi's private soldiers getting closer, Sun Er took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice, "Shoot!"

As soon as the words fell, the Ming army soldiers, who had been unable to hold back any longer, pulled the trigger impatiently. In an instant, several tongues of fire erupted from the bamboo building, and the sound of "bang bang bang bang" of gunfire was heard incessantly!
In an instant, the private soldier in the front row was knocked to the ground, with black holes on his body and blood flowing.

Seeing that there was no sign of the Ming army and their own side had suffered heavy casualties, the private soldiers were frightened and stopped immediately.

Yan Han shouted angrily: "What are you doing? Charge!"

But no matter how Yan Han shouted and cursed, the private soldiers did not dare to move forward. When Li Cang saw this scene, he was so angry that he jumped to his feet.

"These damn mountain people are so cowardly, how can they achieve anything great!"

"The Tusi's private soldiers usually only bully the mountain folks. If they really go to the battlefield, they will die!"

After Ruan Chengping finished speaking, he stepped out from the bamboo building and shouted, "Yanhan, don't stop. It will take a long time for the Ming army to reload their ammunition. Keep charging while you have time. Don't waste the opportunity!"

However, before Ruan Chengping could finish his words, the Ming army soldiers had already replaced the bullets and started the second round of shooting.

At once, gunshots rang out everywhere, and a group of people fell down under the bamboo building. The private soldiers were all scared.

Yan Han's eyes turned red with anxiety, and he shouted furiously: "All of you rush over and chop off Han Gou's head for me. For each head, I will reward him with a gold cake!"

There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. A gold cake can buy a lot of good paddy fields, which is a huge fortune.

Stimulated by the golden cake, the private soldiers rushed forward desperately with their weapons in hand, but the fatal gunshots were heard again from the bamboo building!
Shooting, ejecting, reloading and aiming, the Ming army soldiers skillfully repeated the training movements. At this moment, they turned into cold war machines, ruthlessly reaping the lives of the chieftains' private soldiers!

The narrow stone road was now filled with corpses. Seeing the private soldiers falling to the ground one after another, Yan Han shouted wildly and had completely lost his mind.

However, Li Cang and Ruan Chengping were shocked beyond words by this scene. How could this be possible? They felt that their world had been completely turned upside down!

At this moment, they finally felt a fear and despair that penetrated deep into their bones and surged into their hearts!
What kind of firearms did the Ming army use, and why was the shooting speed so fast?

No wonder, no wonder the Ming army was able to destroy the Yuan court like a whirlwind and completely occupy the desert in just a few months. In the past, people thought that it was because the Yuan court was too corrupt and incompetent that the once invincible Mongolian cavalry fell into depravity and was defeated by the Han people.

Unexpectedly, it was because the Ming army possessed such powerful firearms that Yuan Ting’s death was not unjust!
There are only eleven people, but with eleven guns, they can massacre hundreds of people. This is truly one against ten!

What if hundreds of thousands of Ming troops were equipped with these muskets?
Li Cang and Ruan Chengping couldn't even imagine it, the scene was simply too horrifying!

No matter what kind of elaborate formation you arrange for your infantry, cavalry, or archers, no matter how many soldiers you have under your command, no matter how brave the soldiers are in battle, they are useless in front of such an army, absolutely useless.

Once they encountered the Ming army, they would be harvested and slaughtered. The only thing the soldiers could do was to wait for death in despair!

The Ming army is invincible!

Ruan Chengping was still in shock, but he pinched his thigh hard and only then did he calm down.

"Mr. Li, the power of the Ming army's firearms is beyond our imagination. We must hurry back to report to Prime Minister Li. Laos cannot be touched. We have to think carefully. Once we offend the Ming, we will be in an irreparable situation!"
