Zhang Lixin is not a person who has not experienced the battlefield, just from the looks of some soldiers of the new battalion not far away, he subconsciously felt: if it is as he thought before: let the team in the defensive position continue to let the other party throw fireworks and lead bullets, even if there are fortifications that have been prepared for a long time, it is useless. After all, this is not the age of firearms in the true sense of the word.

Faced with the enemy's more cautious attack under the cover of the infantry team, it seemed that he would not continue to advance if he stayed at a distance of about 100 paces, Zhang Lixin felt that it was necessary to organize an attack in the real sense in order to disintegrate the opponent. Staying in a fixed position is the result of being surrounded by the four breads under the suppression of the opponent, and falling into a rain of arrows and melee siege in all directions.

In this way, taking advantage of the concealed fortifications that had been secretly built in the past month or so, which were quite spacious and large enough for the company-sized team to assemble under cover with equipment, the team of more than 80 people who were ready to attack was reorganized, a total of three detachments, with an average of 25 people per detachment, and Cheng Hai and Li Yi other than Zhang Lixin and Wang Wei, Zhang Wen and several others who stood out in the previous battle were in charge. Wang Wei was responsible for commanding the left-behind detachment to organize the artillery team to cover the flanks.

The three detachments ready for the attack had six trebuchets and six artillery carriages that covered and loaded ammunition. Of course, the trebuchet has already completed the preparation for the first round of launches, so there is no need to prepare on the battlefield.

Even though many drills had been organized before such a battle, Zhang Lixin still asked: "Do you plan to quit now?" Don't wait until you're on top of the battle formation to come out and endanger everyone! ”

Seeing that no one replied, Zhang Lixin ordered to report the number as quickly as possible. Of course, this is not for the purpose of naming names, but to see what the tone of voice of these people is when they reply.

Sure enough, just as Zhang Lixin had guessed before, at least five of the more than eighty people who had gathered to prepare for the battle had obviously made a mistake when reporting the numbers, and their expressions were obviously too nervous.

"Tian Yun, Dong Xiaofang, Hou Cheng, Li Hui, and Zhang Yang are listed! I ordered: You don't have to go to war for the time being, wait for the next time! Zhang Lixin said in a commanding tone at this time.

In this way, after replacing these five people with volunteers who answered more simply in the left-behind detachment, Zhang Lixin asked the entire team to sing a high song according to the people who were specially responsible for beating the drums in each detachment, and walked out of the concealed shelter in disguise and neatly. The location of the exit is actually the other side of the entire exposed position at a certain distance.

The team that suddenly emerged from the other end of the far underground suddenly made the opponent in the distance restless. Around this moment, the rumbling of cannon rang out again. Wang Wei and the others took cover with two remaining heavy guns and many reloaded stone-wood composite cannons regardless of the danger of exploding, while the team marched forward with courageous singing, singing: "We are all sharpshooters, and we kill a piece of enemy soldiers every time we throw them; We are all spearmen, even if any of them are enemies... There is no food or clothing, and the enemy is sent forward, and there is no gun, no armor, and the enemy has made it for us... ”

This is not the best song that Zhang Lixin is familiar with, but it seems that because it is a march adaptation, the rhythm is the most appropriate. The lyrics, which are a little less serious and humorous, obviously relieve a large part of the pressure when the soldiers who feel the great pressure on the battlefield barely sing it. And for those who seemed to be unable to sing in fear, Zhang Lixin and other officers in charge of command quickly arranged these people around them, in places that were easy to supervise, so that for the time being, the not so consolidated team did not become chaotic when they advanced under the tremendous pressure of the battle.

Of course, even so, when they slowly advanced only about forty or fifty meters, the formation of the whole team was a little scattered. After all: this is a brand new team that has only been established for about a month, and it is far from being comparable to the elite main forces of the Napoleonic Wars. What's even more dangerous is that when gradually approaching the enemy brigade, at least ten large and small artillery carriages were also retreated to the front of the dismounted infantry team of the Zhongshun battalion, ready to fire at the team of Zhang Lixin and others.

According to the feeling of the general at this time: such a thin team of less than a hundred people, there is no shield car as a cover, even if the armor and individual shields are still complete, it is not of much significance. Basically, a single round of fire would have to bring these people to a halt and panic. At that time, the horses on both wings were set out, and soon the team of the hundred men would collapse without a fight. At worst, it is also a significant weakening of the opponent's projection ability, and the attacking team of men and horses drown these opponents with an absolute superiority in strength...

However, just as the enemy soldiers were about to prepare to fire the artillery arranged in front of the formation, Zhang Lixin gave the order to cut the hook at the top of the long arm behind the catapult. In just over a breath, six pottery balls wrapped in clay weighing more than thirty flew out, each containing hundreds of iron balls that were burned red in four or five taels.

When the clay balls that were not strong hit the ground, countless hot iron balls splashed out. Although this is not the most effective attack method for opponents with some protection, it interferes with opponents in a large area to the greatest extent, although the accuracy of the attack is not ideal, and the fire of several groups of opponents is rejected. Only three guns were still firing in order as the team advanced.

The buckshot with the whistling wind was not fast, and the accuracy was not ideal. One was missed, one was dodged by someone with his head bowed, and one fell in front of the team, and when it rebounded, the two warriors were immediately smashed to the ground along with the shield they were wearing in front of them, and the speed of the entire team was instantly weakened. The singing began to become dull and disorganized.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the enemy cavalry on both flanks once again dispatched one after another, preparing to launch an outflanking attack. However, after Zhang Lixin and the others personally commanded six heavy artillery guns composed of 100 catties and barrels, and knocked down more than 30 horses and more than 10 people with the fierce bombardment of more than 2,000 shotguns of six or seven coins, the opponent's horse team did not dare to bypass too closely. The continuous sound of their own artillery seemed to inspire courage once again, and the ranks that had been stagnant under the enemy artillery bombardment once again began to advance.

"The other party just fired! The catapult is also used up, and at this time, we will directly rely on the number of people to rush straight over, and we will definitely let the thief escape! Under the instruction of General Ma and the pressure of the formation, at this time, the infantry team of the Zhongshun battalion, which was only about seventy or eighty meters away, began to hold shields from the front row, relying on the advantage of the large number of people to approach in a mighty way, and soon put tremendous pressure on the team led by Zhang Lixin, and it was difficult to advance in a neat formation.

Obviously, compared with some of the teams that Zhang Lixin had seen on the Liaodong front, even if the freshman battalion that had just been established had made unusual preparations, most of the people who had just experienced the battle formation were still very unstable.
