The attack of the Xiaoguo army began. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info They took the sword and shield soldiers as the front, and the spearmen as the wings, stepping on neat steps, slowly approaching.

They aren't fast, but they feel oppressive.

The near-uniform sound of footsteps, accompanied by the "thud" of the long knife striking on the shield...... Revile! "Voice, the military academy of Shenji Town on Li Qin's side saw a dark red wave in a trance, and the crazy tide rushed towards him.

This is the momentum of a strong army, and the young military academy has heard that there is such a special thing in a strong army at the study review meeting. How exactly did this kind of thing come about, the military school has not heard of it. It's just that with his understanding of the momentum field, he feels that this should be the result of a highly unified and powerful will condensed together.

“…… Simply put, it's faith. What you want to fight for, these people still have such a thing? "The military school was a little puzzled.

It is indeed ironic that a group of scum who burned, killed and looted should have an imposing field and a goal to fight to the end at all costs. At least in the eyes of military schools, this is not justified.

It's just that no matter whether it is reasonable or not, the enemy you have to face does have such ability, and they are indeed elite, which is a fact that cannot be erased.

Watching them slowly close the distance between themselves and their side, watching their powerful momentum field weigh heavily on the hearts of these brothers under them, making them nervous, their faces turned pale, and the military academy's heart suddenly secretly said that something was wrong.

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, the soldiers on the edge of the city had erect muscles in their hands, their arms trembled, and they looked so nervous that they couldn't get any longer, and the military academy felt that they had to say something.

"Think about what you're fighting for! Think about what exactly those people on the other side did? Jiangdu is such a magnificent metropolis, now you see what this place has become by their scourge. Don't be afraid of them, because we are Avengers, and the muskets in our hands will be enough to support us in defeating them. The military academy said loudly.

Why fight? Naturally, we are fighting for the peace of the people! Fight for the fields your own family has already acquired! Fight for the kindness of General Lee!

Most of Li Qin's subordinates were young and strong people selected from among the refugees from all over the country, and they entered Li Qin's military camp and received Li Qin's various views on them:

They knew that their downfall was entirely due to the exploitation of the emperor, the bureaucracy, and the family. They knew that they were far away from home because of the chaos of careerists.

They were lucky to be able to come under Li Qin's rule. They have encountered more unfortunate things, seen them, and heard of them even worse. They have a sense of kinship and empathy for this kind of misfortune. For those who caused this misfortune, they rightly hated the house and the black.

After all, if it weren't for Li Qin, he was afraid that they were also one of those unfortunate people. They accepted Li Qin's favor and received land from Li Qin, which was not very large and only four or five acres, but it was the foundation for them to pass on their families.

The thirst for land was unimaginable to Li Chin. These soldiers who were allotted land were infinitely grateful to Li Qin. They were all willing to die for Li Qin. Because they know that there is no better place in the world except for Li Qin.

For the sake of themselves, for their relatives, for the descendants they have or may have in the future, and in order to repay their kindness, they joined Li Qin's command and trained hard only to be able to fight the enemy on the battlefield.

Of course, the more enemies they kill, the more military feats they make, the more land they can allocate. Naturally, this is also fighting for their own interests.

"Steady! Don't be nervous, don't be afraid. The muskets in our hands are enough to penetrate the general's iron armor, so why worry about these soldiers who only wear leather armor? Steady, do not tremble, and follow the command. We will definitely be able to put theirs before the long knives in their hands are cut down on themselves. ”

After listening to the words of the military academy, these strictly trained novices on the battlefield finally calmed their nervous hearts a little, their hands became steady, one eye was quietly closed, and the other eye was slightly squinted, staring at those opposite them with an interesting gaze.

"These are all military exploits."

So they thought.

The Xiaoguo army advanced slowly.

The god machine is calm and guarded as above.

Two hundred paces, the distance between the two sides is shortening.

A hundred steps, both sides can see some small movements in the other army's formation.

Fifty paces, the speed of the Xiaoguo army began to increase. They were ready to storm the formation.

Thirty steps......

"Fire!" At this distance, the military school gave a loud order.

Thirty paces is a distance of nearly fifty meters, which is extremely close in terms of the range of a flintlock gun.

If it weren't for the military academy's repeated confirmation that the Xiaoguo army on the opposite side was not equipped with a bow and crossbow capable of long-range attacks, he would not have dared to put the enemy down this distance before attacking.

You must know that this distance is also the distance that the average archer can shoot arrows well.

Being able to attack the enemy and the enemy can attack you is almost inevitable - fortunately, this is not the case now.

At the sound of an order, the sound of fierce guns rang out in waves, bursts of white smoke came out of the muzzles made of stainless steel, and the scorching lead sank into the opposite military formation at a high speed that was unattainable to the naked eye.

The first row to fire was the first row lying on their stomachs, then the second row squatting, and finally the third row standing up.

Although it may seem like a salvo, there is actually a breath or so between each row. This time was just a blink of an eye for the whole battle, and he didn't notice the difference at all, and he only felt that the gunshots on Li Qin's side were one after another, and they were endless.

A well-trained musketeer is capable of firing about 2-3 rounds per minute when firing with a flintlock pistol - which is certainly not fast.

However, if you use rotational fire, the musketeer's rate of fire will be increased by about 3-4 times under the guarantee of powerful musket preparation logistics, which means that the musketeer can fire 6-12 rounds per minute.

Of course, on the battlefield such a rate of fire tends to be lower, and even if it is low, 6-10 rounds per minute can still be guaranteed.

And after using three rows of round formations to shoot and nine rows to support, Li Qin's side fired faster. Because almost immediately after the musketeers pull the trigger, a new loaded musket is delivered to them, which allows them to simply lift and shoot.

You don't even need to do anything to aim - thirty steps and fifty meters, this distance is too close. In the case of a volley of guns, with the opposing side also maintaining a dense formation, the hit rate of the musketeers reached almost half.

In other words, as long as the soldiers on Li Qin's side pulled the trigger, half of the Xiaoguo army that maintained a fairly dense formation with him would have to fall. The cowhide wooden shield in the hands of the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army could not resist the attack of lead bullets.

With the shooting from Li Qin's side almost continuously, in just ten breaths, most of the more than 200 people Yuwen Chengdu used to test Li Qin had already been killed or injured.

Those who were hit to the vital point died easily, of course, while those who were shot in torso limbs fell to the ground in agony and wailed loudly. Their voices were miserable, making the originally high-spirited soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army feel as if they had been beaten with a single head, their eyes were clouded, and they didn't know what to say or do in their hearts.

The soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army are all martial arts practitioners, and their ability to endure pain is much stronger than that of ordinary soldiers, but no matter how strong they are, they are also human beings, and they are also flesh and blood.

Ten breaths, their charge had not yet begun.

Ten breaths, they had lost more than half of their comrades.

Ten breaths, they have fallen from heaven to hell.

After ten breaths, the shooting from the opposite side stopped.

Ten breaths later, they had completely collapsed.

The broken soldiers rushed back to their camp in frenzy. Yuwen Chengdu looked at their loss of will, waved his hand lightly to the soldiers around him, and his own subordinates led the team to drive the nearly 100 defeated soldiers aside and deal with them as necessary.

This treatment may be a massacre, or it may be a detention - these little things Yuwen Chengdu doesn't care.

At this moment, Yuwen Chengdu's fierce eyes like an eagle dove were staring at the street hundreds of feet away, and the turbulent waves had already stirred up in his heart.

"These guys are so ruthless...... It's only been a long time! He actually defeated one of my soldiers! Damn, the strange iron pipe in their hands has the power of a powerful crossbow, but the rate of fire is much faster than that of a strong crossbow. In such a narrow place, if I were to meet them head-on, I would only be afraid ......"

Thinking about it, Yuwen Chengdu's heart was cold:

"As long as the iron pipe in their hands can still shoot bullets, as long as my men can't rush in front of them in time, then I can't win."

What to do?

Yuwen Chengdu pondered for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion that he didn't know if it was reliable: "If you want to deal with them, in addition to having a strong enough bow and crossbow force, you must have a smart and fast cavalry." ”

Excellent archers and equally good cavalry are quite skilled soldiers, and it is difficult for ordinary people to have them at the same time.

However, Yuwen Chengdu quickly became excited again: "Excellent archers and cavalry, we have Xiaoguo Army, but there is no need to worry." As long as I tell Zhiji and Big Brother about their strengths and weaknesses, then we can still defeat them. ”

Yuwen Chengdu felt that he had seen through something. He eagerly recruited his own personal guards, told them all the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy, and asked them to send the information to Yu Wenhua and Yu Wen Zhiji.

"I hope the two brothers can accept my suggestion and suffer less." After sending off the personal guards who reported the news, Yuwen Chengdu began to prepare for a new attack.

After all, the previous temptation has already come to fruition, and now it's time to send a big meal to the person opposite.

"Although it will take a while for the wise archers to support me, I can eat the hundreds of people on the other side, and I can do it on my own." Yuwen Chengdu thought about it and ordered the division of troops. He dispatched 10,000 men under his command and divided them into ten teams to outflank them from the streets of Yangzhou City, in order to attack the flanks or backs of these people on the opposite side.

'They have a lot of frontal attacking strength, but I don't believe they have a lot of wings and backs. As things stand, their weapons are resistant to long-range rather than melee combat...... This means that if you can really appear on their flanks and backs and break into their formation, they will have nothing to do but wait for their death. ”

Yuwen Chengdu analyzed.

He told the generals under his command: "If you want to win, you can't do it slowly." You have to be fast, and only fast can bring you victory. ”

"Hurry!" The generals and colonels of the Xiaoguo Army are not fools, they know Yuwen Chengdu's intentions, think about it for a while, and recognize that this is a good way.

So, they ran and marched along the streets of Jiangdu City, and with their knowledge of the terrain of Jiangdu, they began to outflank and attack Li Qin's troops.

Fighting in the streets in an unfamiliar environment is Li Qin's biggest problem at the moment.

Although before launching the Battle of Jiangdu, Li Qin urgently made a batch of maps of Jiangdu and distributed them to his military academies to let them know what kind of city Jiangdu City was, but the soldiers and officers who entered Jiangdu City were all coming to this prosperous city for the first time, and it was really difficult for them to match the map of Jiangdu City with Jiangdu City itself.

Fortunately, the advance of Li Qin's troops was not particularly fast, and the distance between the two troops was not too far, coupled with the support and escort of artillery and cavalry, Li Qin was still very assured of the combat strength of his men.

"Steady and steady, shrink appropriately! There is no need for us to fight with the Xiaoguo army, and use your strengths to attack from afar, and greet them with bows, crossbows, and muskets. This is the order that Li Qin gave to the generals and colonels at the front after receiving the encounter with the Chengcheng Xiaoguo Army at the front.

Although the musket was a new, huge, and powerful weapon, and Li Qin had only just equipped his troops, Li Qin's idea of army building had been based on firearms and cold weapons from the very beginning.

Initially without muskets, Li Qin armed his troops with strong bows and crossbows. In order to ensure the density of firepower, Li Qin increased the proportion of crossbowmen in the establishment.

In the case of Dangtu Zhen, who used him as a template for standard infantry, the ratio between crossbowmen and guards (i.e., sword and shield men and pikemen) was about six to four. Sixty percent of the crossbowmen and four percent of the guards, which was also the standard equipment of the strong army during the Qin and Han dynasties.

Li Qin made a comparison, according to this configuration, the firepower that a thousand foot soldiers could project at a distance of 100 meters was roughly equivalent to the firepower that a 450 musketeers who fired in shifts.

"It's a configuration, if it's used for defense. I guess I can hold it as solid as a rock. Li Qin muttered quietly.

Although he still doesn't know what means Yu Wenhua used to boost the morale of the Xiaoguo army and make them so crazy, Li Qin believes that in the face of his own firepower, any madness will have to calm down under the attack of waves of lead bullets and arrows.

"As long as we can ensure that the establishment is intact and the ammunition is sufficient, even if the Xiaoguo army comes over with 100,000 people, we can still eat it." Li Qin had full confidence in his soldiers.
