Chapter Seventy-Three: My Lord, It's Time for Us to Retreat......

However, the next musket shot made Lin Ziran show a satisfied expression.

Hundreds of people fired intensively at the cavalry search squad of about seven or eight Guang'an rebels two or three hundred meters away, still using Mini rifles, even if these soldiers were not good marksmanship, but they couldn't stand up to the large number.

As soon as the shot rang out, half of the opposing cavalry fell on the spot, and several of them had several blood holes in their bodies, obviously hit by several bullets.

Among the remaining cavalry, one of the leading corporal was frightened into a cold sweat, and he clearly saw a puff of white smoke floating from the originally empty hill in front of him.

Even a fool can see that this is an enemy musket attack.

Although he still didn't know why he was hit by such a distance, he still directly urged the carriage to run backwards quickly, and at the same time did not forget to shout: "Withdraw!" ”

Those cavalry rode backwards wildly, very fast, and the terrain here is not flat, these cavalry also know how to use the terrain to avoid bullets, and they will disappear from sight after a while.

The sudden sound of gunfire, especially the explosion of the shells around them, directly caused a commotion among the more than 500 Guang'an rebels, which would have known that they had been ambushed.

However, although there was a commotion among the soldiers, they did not panic, and the more than 100 soldiers in the front of the vanguard, under the leadership of several officers, quickly stabilized, and at this time, a Guang'an officer who was riding a horse and wearing the military title of the middle doctor also saw the white smoke four or five hundred meters ahead, which was the smoke after the guns were fired.

Immediately said loudly: "Start the battle formation immediately!" ”

Although the terrain here is hilly, it is not very suitable for large-scale troop combat, but it is still possible to have small troops lined up.

Soon, the more than 100 Guang'an musketeers in front of them lined up several lines and lined up to prepare for battle.

Lin Ziran, who was on the other side, looked at the formation they quickly listed, and knew that he must have encountered hard stubble.

Being able to list the battle formation so quickly when attacked is not something that ordinary armies can do, not even regular troops, but elite troops.

As for his own Qingshan Patrol Battalion, it is estimated that a few minutes will not be enough to list such a standard battle line formation!

After listing the formation, the other party did not rush to attack, but waited for a while, and soon a scout cavalry reported to the Zhongdafu officer in the Guang'an rebel army: "In front is a Luo'an thief army, estimated to have about 500 people, and the list is the banner of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion." ”

After that, the scout continued: "Their formation is rather scattered! ”

After hearing that it was the patrol camp, a trace of ruthlessness appeared on the face of this middle doctor!

"The patrol battalion even dared to ambush us, I really don't know whether we are dead or alive!"

"The first company was ordered to move forward, the second and third companies moved to advance on the left and right flanks, and the fourth company followed the palace, and we rushed up and swallowed them in one go!"

The patrol battalion or the troops of various guards are all local second-line troops, which is an almost universally recognized fact in all parts of Daheng.

The combat effectiveness of this kind of local second-line troops is very limited, far from being comparable to the regular army, not to mention that the formation of the Luo'an ambush troops on the opposite side is still very scattered.

At first glance, you can tell that it is a tactic made up by a tactical idiot.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Ziran saw that the Guang'an rebels on the opposite side quickly spread out in formation, and it was also an offensive formation, trying to rush up.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ziran didn't know what to say.

Shouldn't the other side immediately disperse to avoid the fire, or turn around and leave?

Why don't you retreat and advance, and you directly list the line formation of frontal combat!

Luo Mazi came to his side at this time, and his voice was trembling: "Big ...... My lord, we, what are we going to do, is it time to withdraw! ”

Lin Ziran didn't answer immediately, but quickly glanced at the enemy in front of him and the speed of advancement, and then said, "Wait a minute!" ”

Then he shouted again: "Free fire!" ”

The front of the other party is still four or five hundred meters away, and the other troops are farther away, and their advance speed is quite slow, Lin Ziran can take the opportunity to fight a few rounds first, and then retreat.

Retreat is meant to retreat, but not so early.

After Lin Ziran gave the order, Luo Mazi on the side showed even more frightened looks, but he didn't dare to say anything else.

After Lin Ziran ordered free shooting, the soldiers under his command were each loaded, and after loading, they aimed and fired.

The distance in front of the other party is more than 400 meters away, although the distance is very far, even if it is a Mini rifle, it is not accurate, but the sound of gunfire can strengthen courage!

The crackling sound of guns made many recruits in Qingshan Town feel that their firepower was fierce and they had a sense of security.

As for killing, I'm sorry, I didn't kill the other party for a few minutes.

This kind of scene made the sergeant company commander who led the attack of the first company of the Guang'an striker on the opposite side sneer.

Shooting at such a distance will hardly have any effect except for wasting ammunition!

So he said with a light expression: "Leave them alone, let's move on, stabilize the formation, tighter, closer!" ”

This forward company of more than 100 people marched at a steady pace, neither fast nor slow, even if it was hit by a shot in the middle, and several soldiers were knocked off the spot by the shells, it did not allow them to cause the slightest disturbance in their line formation.

But all this changed as they continued to get closer.

When they were still more than 400 meters away, there were no casualties, but when they entered the distance of 400 meters, there were occasional casualties.

When they reached a distance of almost three hundred meters, the casualties began to increase dramatically.

At this time, Lin Ziran saw the other party's company commander walking at the forefront on horseback, and beckoned Luo Mazi next to him and said, "Aim at the other party's company commander with me!" ”

Although Luo Mazi is afraid of death, his marksmanship is still good, and in Lin Ziran's opinion, he is only a little worse than himself.

The company commander of the other party didn't know whether he was alive or dead, so he rode a horse directly at the front, and he didn't beat him.

After aiming, he took a deep breath, then held his breath, and in the next moment, Lin Ziran pulled the trigger, and after the gunshot, the other party was still riding a horse, and there was no.

At this time, Luo Mazi on the side also pulled the trigger!

After the gunshot, the company commander on the other side fell directly to the ground.

This will Luo Mazi shouted excitedly: "Hit, hit!" ”

shouted twice, Luo Mazi saw Lin Ziran's plain expression, I don't know why, I feel that the eyes of adults are so terrible!
