Chapter 360: The Cavalry Dispatches
Suddenly, the gunfire on the bandit positions stopped.
Stopped?
For the Green Battalion Formation, which is still forming a formation at the moment, I don't know whether to say good or bad.
Among these green battalion soldiers, it is not that no one has ever touched the fire system.
Huotong, as long as it is beaten for a long time and gets hot, it can't be used for the time being. At this time, the bandit army stopped, it must have cooled down the fire system that had already been hot.
It doesn't take much time to cool down the fire, especially if there's a bucket of cold water, it's even faster.
If they don't rush forward now, when the fire of the anti-thieves cools down, they will all fill in, and it is estimated that they will not be able to reach the first line of defense against the thieves.
After all, the corpses and wailing wounded in front of them were a deep reminder to the people in their formation that the front was extremely dangerous.
Can they escape?
The answer, of course, is no.
Not to mention the overseers behind them, even the cavalry array behind them was also pulling out their swords and looking at them.
If they dare to make the slightest move at this time, what awaits them will not be killed by the bullets of the bandit army, but by the overseers behind them or by the cavalry behind.
What does it mean to cry without tears? The green battalion soldiers of the sixth formation have a deep understanding at this time.
"What did you just do? Just run with someone else. A green battalion soldier said with great regret, and slapped himself on the cheek a few times, and his face was slapped as if he didn't feel pain at all.
The pain of this Green Battalion soldier can be understood by others.
The muskets of the anti-thieves are powerful, and they know it too. Originally, I thought that I was in the sixth formation, dangerous, and the people in front should have been ironed. And by the time they go to the battlefield, the people in the front team should probably be fighting with the anti-thieves.
In that case, the thieves will not be able to fire muskets, and they will be much safer.
I didn't think everything was so ironic. Now, the people who fled back from the previous rout are considered safe, but those who thought they were safe are in the most dangerous place at this time.
……
"The anti-thief musket has stopped?"
"The anti-thief's musket actually stopped..."
Eji. He Mueller felt deeply insulted.
You must know that their Qing army is still on the offensive now, but now the thieves have actually driven them out of the range of muskets.
If the muskets of the bandit army have not stopped, Eji. He Mueller would not feel so insulted.
But now the original resounding musket of the bandit army has actually stopped, as if someone from the bandit army has come to Eji. In front of He Mule, facing Eji. He Mueller slapped his face with a "snap", and then said to him: You are such a waste, you actually let me fight until I stop, and talk about attacking our army.
Eji. He Mueller felt that he couldn't bear it, absolutely couldn't bear it.
Eji, who was already a little unconvinced. He Mueller, at this time, is even more desperate to get up.
"Banner officer, give me the order to go down and let the cavalry drive the green battalion soldiers in front to rush forward. Anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed. Regardless of today's casualties, I must see that our army has broken through at least the second line of defense at Ma'anshan. "Eji. He Mueller ordered angrily.
"Huh..."
Soon, the order was given.
At this moment, whether the green battalion formation, which was only left on the battlefield, was willing or not, they were waiting to take a step forward and charge.
Because if they really dare to be one step late, the people of the Overseer team behind them will really use knives to cut people.
"Rush... Rush..."
"Kill, kill all the thieves..."
With helplessness and tears, these green battalion soldiers rushed forward with shouts and courage.
Everyone doesn't know what the result will be in the next second, but if they dare not rush forward, they will definitely be killed by the overseers behind them.
The road ahead was so smooth, the army had crossed one hundred and forty zhang, and soon entered one hundred and thirty zhang, and was about to reach one hundred and twenty zhang...
The bandit army was still so quiet and peaceful at the moment, except for the gunpowder smoke above them that had not yet had time to be blown away by the mountain wind, they didn't even feel a trace of war there.
But within a hundred and twenty feet of their defensive line, there were corpses of the Qing army and wounded soldiers wailing there.
At this time, the green battalion soldiers who were charging, no one believed that the anti-thieves would treat them extraordinarily.
"Bang..."
Sure enough, after these green battalion soldiers entered within 120 zhang of the bandit army, a neat platoon of gunfire rang out.
The bullets from this row of guns flew like rain towards the Green Battalion soldiers who were running. At this moment, even the formation of the Green Battalion soldiers who were as loose as sand was instantly hit by hundreds of people.
It can hit hundreds of casualties at once, and there are many listeners. But for a team of more than 2,000 people, the casualties of these hundreds of people were not enough to break their bones.
Stepping on the blood-stained ground, stepping on the mutilated limbs and even the corpses that had already died on the ground or had not yet had time to die, these green battalion soldiers could only grit their teeth and run wildly.
After a long time, they came within a hundred feet of the bandit army (1). At this time, the gunfire of the bandit army rang out again.
"Smack... Bang bang..."
Under the continuous gunfire of gunfire, several dozen or even dozens of green battalion soldiers were hit and fell down every second.
However, even with the threat of death every second, people are dying every second.
The battle is not over yet, and these green battalion soldiers cannot retreat without hearing the sound of gold.
Because the shouts of the overseers behind them and the dense sound of horses' hooves reminded them all the time that retreat is death. And the one who dares to have a fluke mentality also pays the price he deserves.
"Rush, rush, the thief is in front, hurry up and rush through this land, the thief will die... If we can't rush over, we'll all have to die here..."At this time, someone cheered up.
"Kill..."
……
These charging Green Battalion soldiers are making their last stand.
Ninety zhang...
Seventy zhang ......
Fifty zhang .........
"Smack... Bang bang bang bang..."
The gunfire is getting more and more intense, and more and more Green Battalion soldiers are being hit...
"Phew..."
"Smack..."
"Ahh
One of the Green Battalion soldiers was hit by a bullet and was now sitting on the ground howling.
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."
"Smack..."
Another bullet flew in and hit him directly in the head. I saw that he lost his voice in an instant and fell to the ground.
"Smack... Bang bang..."
Although there was a constant mountain wind blowing, the smoke of gunpowder in the position of the bandit army was getting thicker and thicker.
"Thirty zhang..."
"Cavalry prepare, accelerate the charge..."
Note (1): The faster speed of 100 meters and 13 seconds is used here, and the firing rate of the guns of the bandit army is calculated at 6 rounds per minute. The data obtained is that for every twenty-three zhang or so run by the Qing army, the bandit army can fire once.
