The so-called "overhead" refers to Shang Zhen because of the relatively large angle of the arrow, and the arrow's flight trajectory is parabolic. The arrow jumped over the top of the Japanese pirate's head before it pierced down.
Although the arrow speed will be slower than the previous one, but for the Japanese pirates behind, when they saw the arrow, the arrow was already in front of them.
Then what defense would they have
This is because Shang Zhen’s arrows were eager to shoot, the Japanese pirates were too crowded, and the fields were narrow. The three factors combined, it would be difficult for the Japanese pirates behind to get an arrow!
At this time, Shang Zhen shot three arrows in a row, but it was endless!
Shang Zhen stood there and shot nine arrows one after another.
The nine arrows may have missed one or two arrows, or were dropped by Japanese pirates with swords and spears, but the rest did not miss.
All of a sudden, the Japanese pirates who came after them stopped, and they were frightened!
"Why are you looking at me? Let the wounded run away, we will have a trick in a while!" Shang Zhen glanced back and shouted.
In fact, there is no need for Shang Zhen to shout, the wounded are already running away.
As for their good people, they think that they can't escape the Japanese pirates, but they won't let the family catch up.
Everyone wanted to see Shang Zhen's archery miracle!
And Shang Zhen just had time to say such a sentence. At this time, hundreds of Japanese pirates on the opposite side yelled together, and the Japanese pirates rushed forward!
At this time, Shang Zhen had no chance to speak again, but the short bow in his hand shot another nine arrows in a row.
But although there were another Japanese pirates hitting the ground with arrows, those Japanese pirates were almost a hundred paces away!
Shang Zhen hung his short bow around his waist and this time he touched a long bow again, but just as he was about to open the bow again, suddenly came the shout of Han Wenmu from behind: "The people in front are all down. !"
With just this sentence, Shang Zhen stopped shooting arrows, but his reaction was to get directly on the ground faster than anyone else.
At this time, Zhu Xi and the rest of the guards were also directly on the ground.
Although everyone hasn't looked back, do you still have to ask what the people behind are going to do
So when everyone just got down, they heard a "bang", "bang" and "bang" shotgun sound between this paddy field.
Han Wenmu led more than a dozen people in a row, all kneeling on one knee while holding shotguns, and a piece of white gunpowder was rising from their muzzles.
In order to deploy their troops, except for two of them on the road in the field, the rest of them were already lined up in the rice fields on both sides of the road.
If you want to say that you can’t run in the rice, you can’t run after a few steps, but what does it matter if you kneel there
It's just that their round of shooting is not finished yet, but there are still two rows of gunmen standing behind them.
Before the smoke from the first row was cleared, the gunfire from the second row rang again.
When the people in the second row finished firing their guns, they squatted on the ground again, and the guns of the people in the third row rang again.
Shotguns are actually a kind of firecrackers, and firecrackers are later named matchlocks.
Due to the slow filling of matchlock guns, this three- or four-row round shooting method has become the first choice in current operations in Asia and Europe.
This not only avoids the shortcoming of too slow filling of the gunpowder lead bombs, but also staggers when firing the enemy on the opposite side.
The enemy in the first row on the opposite side was knocked down, and the second row behind was exposed.
At this time, the second row of guns fired, and the people in the second row on the opposite side were also knocked down.
In this way, the enemy in the first row on the opposite side is prevented from being a meat shield!
However, the penetrating power of the lead shot from this shotgun is really weak nowadays. This is mainly because the barrel is not well sealed and too much kinetic energy escapes.
Therefore, the power of lead bullets nowadays is by no means any stronger than bows and arrows.
It's just that because the lead bullet is too small, the person on the other side can't see it at all, unlike a feather arrow, no matter how fast it is shot, there is still a trace to be found, which can be dialed with a weapon.
Because of its low power, the people who were hit were more injured and less dead.
Even so, after Han Wenmu these shotgunners had three rows of guns, the Japanese pirates on the opposite field road had also been knocked down!
It happened that there were very few lead bullets hitting the head, and the undead who hit the head couldn't move.
But the lead bullets hitting the other parts of the Japanese pirates were strange.
Nowadays, shotguns don't even have a front sight. It's not even a three-point line. It's good to be able to hit people.
In fact, this shooting method is more like the heavy machine guns of later generations. It is about area coverage and not focused on burst shooting.
But because the Japanese pirates catching up were too crowded, someone was always shot.
Moreover, the place where the shot was shot is also very different, and even a Japanese pirate clutched his crotch and started howling. It is estimated that he would not want to pass on the line even if he was immortal!
Within a distance of sixty or seventy steps, the Japanese pirates had already fallen to the ground, panting, struggling, and howling. This situation was like hell.
The courage of the previous Japanese pirates in chasing and killing was finally broken up by these three rows of shotguns.
At this moment, Shang Zhen hung a pot of arrows, took a longbow and led several other archers back towards the Japanese pirates.
Shang Zhenli had great arrows, but he was shooting those Japanese pirates who didn't hit the arrow behind, while those archers were specifically shooting those Japanese pirates who were struggling on the ground.
Suddenly, the Japanese pirates were in great chaos, and finally they yelled and retreated!
After rushing forward fifty or sixty steps, Shang Zhen waved his hand to stop, and they ran back again.
As a result, the distance between the enemy and us was finally widened, leaving only a few dozen Japanese pirates who were dying and struggling there in the middle section of the field road.
Shang Zhen and they started a new retreat, and Shang Zhen was undoubtedly staying at the end.
In the midst of such a run, Zhu Xi and his brocade guards, who ran ahead of the Shang Zhen, looked complicated.
By now, the Jinyiweis seemed to have forgotten how Shang Zhen used stones to beat them into embarrassment.
The Shang Zhen led people to rescue them. At the beginning, they were resisting, but as the Shang Zhen continued to release goodwill, their hostility to the Shang Zhen had dropped significantly.
In terms of arresting these people in Shang Zhen, they are arresting fast and they are officials, while in Shang Zhen they are thieves and thieves.
But this situation is just as Shang Zhen thought, it is only a contradiction between Han people.
When they, Jinyiwei, saw those Yingren who were not tall and maintained a weird shape, the contradictions among the Han people became weaker, and they already felt a sense of the same enemy.
And when their favor for Shang Zhen increased, they discovered that when they arrested Shang Zhen at the earliest, even though they called Shang Zhen behind their backs as a little murderer, the little murderer released their kindness.
That is, Shang Zhen only shot them with stones, and most of the time, Shang Zhen only used stones and their lower limbs.
Although the stone hit their legs and it hurts, the most painful one would fall to the ground and cry for father and mother, and the lighter one would make them jump straight on one leg.
However, they were all skin and flesh wounds, even if they were injured to the bones, they did not cause serious injuries.
It seems that people really don't want to be enemies with them!
As a result, the Jinyi Guards paid attention to Zhu Xi's expression as they ran.
As subordinates, they would certainly think about Shangzheng well, but they are Jin Yiwei. This kind of peace with the culprits, after all, needs Zhu Xi to call the shots.
