The fast speed of a bullet is actually not scary. What is really scary is the bullet that is slower and can stay in your body longer.
These bullets will release a lot of kinetic energy in your body, crushing your internal organs.
This is the situation that the soldiers in Beidaying are facing now. If they don't block the bullets, they will pass through their armor and bodies and then quickly escape without causing much secondary damage.
But now that they were blocking the bullets with their shields, the speed of the bullets decreased, and at the same time, the bullets, which were not of very good quality, immediately scattered after penetrating the shields, becoming veritable shrapnel.
The fragments of these bullets entered their bodies and ran around like parasites, turning their originally healthy bodies into pieces.
With a volley of fire from hundreds of flintlock rifles, the front row of soldiers in the Beidaying camp fell down, and the spearmen in the back were directly exposed to the muzzles of the flintlock rifles.
In an instant, the entire Beidaying was in chaos!
What a joke! What kind of magic is this? The reliable comrade who was standing in front of me like a mountain just now died in an instant. How can I fight this battle?
What made them even more desperate was that after the first row of gunners finished shooting, they retreated in a well-trained manner, and the second row of gunners immediately raised their muskets and aimed at the target, and the second round of shooting was ready.
Bang bang bang!
Another burst of gunfire rang out, and another group of soldiers from Beidaying fell down. The Chinese Academy of Sciences smoothly replaced the soldiers with the third row of gunners.
After finally waiting for the third row of gunners to finish firing, nearly half of the men on the Beidaying side had been killed or wounded. They also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was finally their turn to charge.
Then, they saw the first row of riflemen who had just been rotated out stood at the front again and raised their guns.
Three-stage shooting is something that Lu Chen has been promoting. Now, not only the Jinyiwei, but even the technicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have mastered this technology.
Bang bang bang!
Another burst of gunfire rang out, and the soldiers of Beidaying fell to the ground again, and then they were defeated.
Why were the soldiers of the Great Qi not as good as those of the Liao and Jin? Firstly, it was because the cavalry of the Liao and Jin were indeed strong. Secondly, it was because the soldiers of the Great Qi did not have a strong enough fighting spirit and were easily defeated.
In fact, in this era, an important indicator to measure whether an army is strong is the casualty rate at which the army will collapse.
Obviously, the higher this value is, the better. According to statistics from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the value for Liao and Jin was around 35%, while that for Qi was only a pitiful 20%.
The fact that the soldiers of Beidaying were able to withstand a round of three-stage shooting before being defeated is enough to prove that the quality of these soldiers is indeed good.
No wonder they had the confidence to directly surround the Chinese Academy of Sciences. They were indeed capable, but unfortunately they met a cheating Lu Chen.
"Don't run! Everyone, get back! Reorganize your formation! They can't have unlimited ammunition. Keep charging!"
The commander of the Beidaying waved the long sword in his hand and roared, but his voice was insignificant in front of the fleeing soldiers.
At this point, the defeat was inevitable. No matter how much the supervisors waved their swords, they could not stop the fleeing soldiers.
Even in the face of such a great situation, if the supervisory team really dared to swing their blades and chop down, the defeated soldiers would most likely turn against them and attack them.
The general in Beidaying was so angry that he couldn't understand why things turned out like this.
They clearly had an absolute numerical advantage, and the distance between the two sides was not far, so why did they lose? And why was their defeat so complete?
The general would probably never know the answer, because he did not realize that there was someone pointing a spear at him from beginning to end.
This man did not participate in the previous three shootings, and his gun was always locked on the general.
With a bang, a scorching flame spurted out of the muzzle of the gun, and a bloody hole appeared between the eyebrows of the general riding on the white horse. The next second, his body stiffened and he fell heavily from the horse's back.
I don’t know who shouted that the general was dead, but the entire Beidaying became even more chaotic.
At this time, Ye Wuchen waved his hand decisively and said, "Forward! Press forward!"
At the same time, he roared at the panicked Beidaying soldiers, "Put down your weapons, and I will spare your lives!"
The Jinyiwei also followed Ye Wuchen and shouted at the soldiers to lay down their weapons.
When the first soldier who laid down his weapon found out that he was not killed, more and more people laid down their weapons.
Come to think of it, he had only participated in a small rebellion. Such a crime would not fall on those at the bottom, and the higher-ups would help them bear the consequences.
We have no grudges against each other, so there is no need to kill everyone.
When all the soldiers of Beidaying laid down their weapons, the situation was under control.
Soon Lu Chen and others knew what had happened. The queen and the eldest prince had rebelled.
Now their people have taken control of some important places in the city, and the entire imperial city and all officials are under their control.
If nothing unexpected happens, as long as Li Xiang is changed, the eldest prince will be able to ascend the throne smoothly.
Unfortunately, accidents usually happen even when nothing unexpected happens, and this time is no exception.
"So, Your Majesty has been controlled by them, and may even have been killed by them, right?"
Sitting in the office, Lu Chen calmly analyzed the current situation.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The eldest prince's move was too sudden, and no one expected things to turn out like this.
We were all happily eating hotpot and singing songs together, how come everyone suddenly disappeared?
"Master, what should we do next?" Li Xiang's eyes were red, obviously she had been crying.
Now his father's life or death is uncertain, and the one who did it was his brother. This kid should be sad indeed.
"What should we do? What else can we do? Of course we should attack them! Even the Liao and Jin people were beaten to death by us. Why do they think they can control the capital?"
"Ye Wuchen, gather our people immediately. All of us. In the name of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, go to the palace and serve the king!"
Ye Wuchen stood up suddenly, he knew that the time had come to make great achievements!
Lu Chen turned to Li Xiang and said, "Be strong. This country and the royal family are relying on you now. You will lead the troops out and eliminate all the reactionary forces in the city. Rescue the ministers from the palace first."
"Once we've cleared out all the traitors in the city, we'll defend the Imperial City. I'd like to see what kind of trouble a loser like the First Prince can stir up!"
