Chapter 134: How to Fight

"Haha... Why are you so stupid? The Qing army who was asked laughed loudly

"Poof..."

The flesh on the arm of a green battalion soldier in front of them was beaten so that blood flew straight away, and blood splattered on the faces of the two. The bullet continued through the gap between the two and hit the arm of another Qing soldier.

Only then did the two wounded Qing soldiers react, sitting on the ground with their arms covered and screaming.

"It's... This... What just happened, is it really asking God to come up? The Qing soldiers, who were laughing loudly just now, became frightened at this moment, and their voices trembled a little.

As soon as Li Shuyao heard the sound of gunshots, he felt that things were in trouble, and he also began to be scared at this time. This time, 14,000 people were still defeated, and he didn't know how to face this result.

"Bang..."

"Bang..."

Before Li Shiyao could react, the third platoon of gunshots had already sounded. According to what Li Shiyao knew, the fourth ring would start soon.

At this time, the battlefield was filled with gunsmoke.

"Flag officer, issue the flag, let all the soldiers not rest again. Beat the drums and charge. Li Shiyao hurriedly ordered loudly to the flag officer beside him

Li Shiyao couldn't help but give such an order. Although there are many people in the Qing army, how many of them can withstand such consumption? Li Shiyao really didn't dare to think about it, so he had to try to take advantage of the crowd to charge collectively to see if he could break through the distance in front of him.

"Bang..."

"Bang..."

"Knock knock..."

After the fifth platoon, the Qing army drums sounded.

At the beginning, the drums of the charge sounded, and many of the generals of the Qing army were confused. However, the military order is like this, and they can't hesitate.

When they heard the rapid drumming of the Qing army, the bandit army stopped. Shoot on the spot.

When the Qing army charged, the number of people killed and wounded by the bandit army reached 1,45. If these people had been a small Qing army, the battle would have been over long ago. But more than 1,000 casualties were not enough to retreat in front of more than 14,000 people.

"Rush..."

The three phalanxes of the Qing army, more than 10,000 horses and horses shouted and charged. The sheer size of this shout was earth-shattering.

The rapid and loud drums could no longer drown out the shouts and footsteps of the charge.

It takes about two minutes for a normal person to finish 400 meters, but most people need to take a breath and rest after running.

Charging in the battlefield is different from running in a race, and it is generally necessary to close the distance and start charging within 50 meters to maintain physical strength and fight again.

Therefore, the generals of the Qing army were surprised to hear the drums calling for the charge so early. Charge over such a long distance, run with all your strength and still fight? You can't all lie down in front of the enemy and let people bleed one by one.

It is precisely because of this that the Qing soldiers are now charging loudly, but they are only running faster than walking.

At best, this speed is a rush to walk, not a run. After all, this distance is too far, everyone knows it, and whoever rushes to the front will die first.

The average walk for a person is about 60 to 80 meters a minute. Rapid walking will be faster, but it will not exceed 150 meters.

The 400-meter road allowed them to walk for nearly three minutes, but when they rushed to a distance of less than 15 zhang from the bandit army, the Qing army that rushed in front was frightened and retreated.

The characteristic of black powder is that it has a large smoke, and even if it is a well-proportioned and improved particle gunpowder, this situation is still inevitable.

The continuous muskets fired by the bandit army caused a smoke of gunpowder in front of them, blurring their vision. The Qing troops who rushed over could not see where the enemy was at all, but the Qing troops that rushed to the front changed almost again and again.

This distance of 400 meters allowed the bandit army to fire eight platoons of guns, and at least more than 2,000 to 3,000 people fell. The casualties everywhere even made it difficult for the Qing troops behind to even walk.

The casualties of the Qing soldiers who were beyond the range of the musketeers of the bandit squad were indeed much less, but it did not prevent them from being afraid when they saw this scene.

"Bang..."

When the bandit army fired the fourteenth platoon of guns, a Qing soldier could no longer stand the psychological pressure, threw away the knife in his hand and ran back. He also shouted, "Ah... Run! ”

Originally, the military quality of these green battalion soldiers of the Qing army was not high, that is, they relied on a large number of people to survive until now.

Now that I see the people in front of me lying on the ground with flesh and blood, how can they still stand it?

If it is someone who can see the enemy clearly, or the Qing army can rush down again. But I couldn't see anything in front of me, and the people around me kept dying after every shot.

In this way, no one wants to rush any further. No one knows if it will be themselves who will be killed or injured in the next moment. It's safe only to hide behind.

The Qing troops who rushed in front began to run back, and the back was naturally not stupid.

As the Qing soldiers in front of them all ran back, the Qing army formed a trend of retreat.

Although there were also generals shouting and rushing forward, everything was to no avail.

Looking at the corpses and wounded everywhere, none of the green battalion soldiers were willing to continue to maintain their physical strength and stay in this place of death, and they were all running back with all their might. The rout intensified.

Originally, the Qing soldiers who were in the back were not shot, but the people in front were desperately fleeing back, and they had no reason to return.

In particular, when they saw the wounded who were lying on the ground and constantly wailing and screaming, their hearts were even more reluctant to rush forward.

"Bang..."

When the bandit army reached the sixteenth platoon of guns, the Qing army completely retreated, and even the generals who were shouting ran back one after another, and the casualties all over the ground had shocked them, and the wails everywhere also made them tremble.

"This hasn't even touched the figure of the thief, it's already like this. How far is it ahead? I can't think about it! ”

The overseers behind did not stop at all, nor did they dare to stop them. When the retreat of the Qing army had just begun, they did stop it, but they also saw the wailing all over the place.

If it was only a small part of the rout, they could indeed cut a few people to stand up and block the rout. But thousands of people began to retreat, where did they dare to look for death there?

I can't say that when those green battalion soldiers fled past them, they were stabbed when they were upset, and they had nowhere to cry. Otherwise, the people in front of them should have been bulleted.

So when the overseers saw this, they no longer had any chance of military discipline. Picking up the knife in his hand, he began to run, even faster than the retreating Green Battalion soldiers.

The general trend is like this, and they don't want to be bulleted.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

The drums of the Qing army are still beating

This time, Li Shiyao did not order Mingjin to withdraw his troops, because it was no longer necessary.

The three phalanxes of the Qing army, and the charge of more than 10,000 people still had no way to break Zhang Rui's thin men.

Everything is beyond the scope of Li Shiyao's understanding, and his confidence in encirclement and suppression has completely lost Zhang Rui.

Looking at the retreating Qing army on the hillside, Li Shiyao's whole person seemed to be sick. The mouth kept reading:

"This anti-thief musket is so powerful, how can this battle be fought, how can it be fought?"
