Kong Jie crawled into the fortress and felt that the smoke was everywhere in the fortress, which was very choking. Fortunately, two auxiliary soldiers were sitting in the fortress, constantly shaking the hand-crank blower to drive the smoke in the fortress out.

"Extend the gun barrel outside!" a senior soldier shouted.

In the era of black gunpowder, one problem that firearm soldiers need to face is that the smoke of gunfire is too large. Even in the open ground, musketeers continue to fire continuously, and the smoke generated will soon cover the sky and the sun and block the soldiers' vision.

This is still in the open wilderness. If it is in the sealed fortress, the white smoke will be even more serious. So when shooting, extend the barrel to the outside as much as possible. But even so, white smoke will appear at the fire door, and some of the white smoke produced by the gun barrel will be transmitted from the shooting hole. It will not be seen in a short time. Over time, the fortress will be filled with choking smoke.

So how do Western countries solve this problem? Zhao Peng knew that Western countries have special fan soldiers in castles. Musketeers shoot in castles, and soldiers holding fans will drive out the smoke from the castles.

Now Zhao Peng has a hand-crank blower in his hand. Isn’t this much more advanced than a fan? It just comes in handy.

Although the smoke in the fortress was still very strong and choking, it was at least something that people could bear. Kong Jie extended the barrel of the bird gun from the shooting hole and aimed at the Qing soldiers in front.

At this time, the Qing soldiers were less than thirty steps away from the castle. Kong Jie pulled the trigger. He heard a roaring gun. The Qing soldiers he was aiming at fell backwards. The shield in his hand failed to save his life. The close-range shooting within thirty steps, the bullet directly penetrated the wooden shield and took the life of the Green Camp soldier.

However, Kong Jie didn't have time to check his results, but quickly pulled back the gun barrel and turned around and walked out of the castle. With such a multi-stage round-shooting combat method, soldiers who had finished shooting in front must give way to the people behind in time to maintain the sustainability of firepower.

Kong Jie stood in the open ground behind, loading gunpowder and bullets. He only heard a deafening roar behind him, and smoke came from the cannon behind him. It was his cannon firing.

Twenty twelve-pound field cannons that had been loaded opened fire. The field cannons that had lowered their muzzles spewed out flames. The overwhelming shots formed a line of defense for death, and a blood mist was bursting into the Qing army formation.

The sound of the bird gun shooting, accompanied by the roar of cannons, was knocked down by a large number of Qing soldiers who entered twenty steps. The Qing soldiers who could still stand were twenty steps away, and within twenty steps, there were layers of corpses piled up.

The continuous fire of muskets and the last twelve-pound cannons fired shots completely, the Qing army and the Koreans in the Green Camp were completely timid. The Qing army's offensive collapsed across the board. The Qing army, which had just surged up like the sea water of high tide, quickly retreated back like the sea water of low tide.

The Qing soldiers of the Green Camp who collapsed back, the Koreans and Lian Yong, were immediately suppressed by the Eight Banners.

When the Green Camp soldiers, the Koreans and the trainees charged in front, the Eight Banners of Manchuria were staring at them from behind. When the cannon fodders collapsed, the Manchuria men were ready to catch people. More than 200 Qing soldiers running in the front were pressed to the ground by the Eight Banners of Manchuria men like eagles catching chickens.

This time, not only was the fastest-running deserter, but almost all the grassroots officers were arrested by the Eight Banners soldiers among the collapsed Qing army.

More than 500 people were held down by the Eight Banners soldiers and knelt on the ground.

"Chun!" The quartet gave the order.

The Eight Banners soldiers raised their swords and fell, and more than 500 heads rolled to the ground. Luo Yangxing saw that among the people who were killed, there were many of his veterans. You should know that more than 300 officers were killed this time, and many of these officers were veterans who had experienced many battles. Luo Yangxing only felt that his heart was bleeding. Every time the Eight Banners soldiers cut down, Luo Yangxing's mouth twitched.

Zhao Peng naturally saw every move of the Qing army.

It’s death to rush up, and it’s death to retreat. This situation made Zhao Peng unable to help but recall that in his previous life, there was a middle school classmate who was a futures speculator.

Futures are different from stocks. Only when stocks rise can you make money. When it falls, you can buy at the bottom, but you can't make money before it starts to rise. However, futures are different. Futures can buy long and short. The so-called buying too much means buying rise, and if it rises, you make money; and buying short means buying falling. After buying in, you make money when it falls.

So, futures are like a gambling for buying the size of the size, and because of high leverage, it is more exciting than buying the size of the size.

Some veterans who trade futures will not operate at full position, but only buy it with one-tenth to one-fifth of the funds in their account. When they find that they have bought the wrong ones, they buy too much, but are falling, they will operate in the opposite direction and quickly buy a short one to make up for the loss of buying the wrong ones, so that they can level up the loss.

But there is a situation like this. First, reverse operation is used to give a certain price difference to the futures exchange, because the futures exchange is a dealer in the futures market, and the dealer is stable to make a profit and never lose money. Whether you buy or sell, it means you have to cut off a piece of meat to the dealer first.

As a result, you bought the wrong one and your funds were decreasing. This was to cut the liquors to the market. Just like the Qing army is rushing upwards and being repelled by the powerful firepower of the Ming army, the Qing army is to cut the liquors. You operate in the reverse direction to grab the loss of property, but you are not sure about the time when you throw it out, and in the end both sides are losing money. This is to cut the liquors back and forth.

The Qing army fled back and was cut by the Eight Banners Supervisors Team. This was another time to cut the liquor, which was equivalent to cutting the liquor in the futures market in later generations.

When I came, I cut my meat once, and when I went back, I was cut my meat again. In this way, how many times could the Qing army withstand the cutting of the meat? Just like the people who played futures in later generations lost all their money.

The Qing army rushed from five hundred steps away to within twenty steps, and came all the way. The Ming army first greeted with cannons, then with smaller caliber cannons, rushed to the front, greeted with muskets, and finally greeted with cannons, and finally greeted with cannons. They almost came with corpses, but after they were defeated, they had to go back again, and they spread them with corpses all the way, so the Qing army might as well rush up directly with one go.

Zhao Peng stood in the fortress on a high place and used a monocular telescope to observe the movements of the Qing army. He saw that the Qing army was about to move, and it seemed that it was about to launch a third round of attack.

The auxiliary soldiers holding bird guns retreated to rest. The flintlock rifle in the hands of the New Army Musketeers had completely cooled down, and the soldiers loaded their flintlock rifles with gunpowder and bullets.

On the artillery position, the gunners were taking the time to cool the barrel. They poured water into the barrel, cooled the barrel, then poured the water out, used dry mops to clean the barrel, wiped the water in the barrel, then loaded it into a fixed loading pack, and then loaded it with solid shells.
