Chapter 166: The Grenadier Strikes

Suddenly, a hundred shots were fired!

Hundreds of solid shells streaked across the sky and smashed into the advancing Ming army.

Some shells hit the chariots at the front of the Ming array, leaving a deep dent on the chariots, but more shells crashed into the Ming array, and a single shell pierced a row of Ming soldiers.

At this time, the safest place in the Ming army's array was the place behind the chariot.

Seeing someone falling, the surrounding Ming soldiers were frightened, and they were almost the ones who died, they were scared, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to move forward.

"Don't stop, let's go!" The officer not far away shouted loudly, and the short-tempered officer directly whipped it.

With the efforts of the officers, the small number of problems in the Ming army array were quickly restored.

Under a round of artillery bombardment by the People's Army, the Ming army suffered hundreds of casualties, which was insignificant for the Ming army, which had a strength of nearly 80,000, but the Ming army was unwilling to be shelled in vain, and accelerated the march as much as possible, and at the same time, the Ming army was also ready to counterattack with artillery.

In this era, the biggest feature of the Franc machine gun compared with other artillery is the rate of fire, the three Franc machine gun battalions of the People's Army fired six rounds in a salvo, bringing thousands of casualties to the Ming army, and the counterattack of the Ming army was slowly late.

Hundreds of solid artillery shells passed through the firearms units of the KPA and smashed directly into the array of cold-weapon units, causing considerable casualties to the KPA.

"Don't stop, keep going."

There are too many new recruits in the cold weapons unit of the People's Army, and it is easier to be stunned when they see their comrades-in-arms fall in front of them, and the officers can only wake up these fighters with words, and there are others who will pull the stunned comrades-in-arms.

The faint death did not stop the advance of the Ming army, nor did it stop the advance of the people's army, braving artillery fire, the two armies were approaching rapidly, and the distance was already less than five hundred meters.

Suddenly, the KPA stopped.

"Ready! Fire! ”

The commanders of the six infantry companies brandished their Yanling knives in unison, and the next moment, more than 250 tiger head guns opened fire on the advancing Ming army.

I saw that more than 250 lead bullets pierced into the advancing Ming army's array like lightning, most of the lead bullets were blocked by the Ming army's chariots, but there were also dozens of lead bullets drilled into the gaps between the chariots, bringing dozens of casualties to the Ming army.

The six infantry companies fired several rounds in a row, but only brought hundreds of casualties to the Ming army, which was not as high as the number of casualties caused by the four artillery battalions to the Ming army.

"Let the two infantry battalions of the firearms unit cease fire, and the army continues to advance!"

Seeing that the tiger head gun could not bring much damage to the Ming army, Wang Shengrong immediately issued a new order, and soon, two infantry battalions were withdrawn from the front of the queue, and the first troops and grenadiers filled the vacancies, and the people's army continued to stride forward.

Three hundred meters

Two hundred meters

The distance between the People's Army and the Ming Army was getting closer and closer, and when the distance between the two armies was less than 150 meters, this time it was the turn of the Ming Army to stop, and many Ming soldiers carrying muskets rushed out from behind the chariots, aimed the firearms at the People's Army, and shot lead bullets representing death.

The musket equipped by the Ming army is a front-loading smoothbore gun, a distance of more than 100 meters, the lead bullet does not know where to fly, it may be in the sky or on the ground, some lead bullets hit the soldiers of the People's Army, but at such a long distance, the power of the lead bullet will also be greatly reduced, blocked by the soldiers of the first army holding shields, and the people who were accidentally shot by the Ming army are pitiful.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The rapid sound of war drums sounded, and the soldiers of the People's Army turned from walking briskly to running, and rushed towards the Ming army that had stopped.

The soldiers of the first unit held the shields in their hands tightly, and the soldiers of the grenadier unit took out one of the grenades from their special backpacks behind them and held it tightly in their hands.

"Rush! Rush! ”

At a distance of more than 100 meters, the heavily armed KPA soldiers needed to run for more than 20 seconds, while the Ming soldiers had only one chance to fire.

As the Ming army opened fire again, this time the number of KPA casualties increased, and the shields in the hands of many soldiers of the advance troops were pierced by lead bullets, and finally lead bullets pierced into their bodies.

Seeing the People's Army rushing over, the Ming Army Gunners, who were no longer able to carry out the next round of shooting, did not stupidly stay at the front of the array to fight against the People's Army, they quickly withdrew to the back of the chariot, and at the same time, many Ming soldiers with cold weapons came out of the back of the chariot, and rushed forward with their weapons clenched in the sound of the Ming army's war drums.

"Kill!"

"Kill all the thieves!"

In the shouting and killing, the two sides got closer and closer, and just when the two armies were less than ten meters recently, hundreds of grenades flew out of the People's Army array and fell into the ranks of the Ming army.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

A series of explosions sounded in the ranks of the Ming army, and the exploded grenades turned into countless fragments, harvesting the lives of the surrounding Ming soldiers.

At this moment, the earth was stained red by the blood of the Ming soldiers, and at this moment, the shouts of the Ming army were replaced by the wails of the wounded Ming soldiers.

The sudden change of scene stunned many uninjured Ming soldiers, who saw the grenade for the first time and didn't understand what was going on.

Just when most of the Ming soldiers were stunned, the soldiers of the People's Army's first unit rushed forward with big knives and battle axes.

Blood splattered!

The soldiers of the first landing unit were fighting with the Ming army, and the grenadier soldiers behind the first arrival unit had already taken out a second grenade, lit it, and threw it fiercely forward.

There was another series of explosions, and thousands of Ming soldiers fell in this explosion, and a long "vacuum zone" appeared in the Ming army's array, and no one in the vacuum zone was standing, so that the Ming soldiers behind did not dare to step forward for a while.

"Dead, all dead."

"Is this a thief's magic method?"

All kinds of thoughts flashed in the minds of the Ming army, and the fear in his heart increased suddenly, and for a while, the morale of the Ming army plummeted!

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The Ming army was scared and trembled, but the People's Army did not, and the soldiers of the Xiandeng unit rushed forward frantically, and hundreds of Ming soldiers fell every second.

Soon, the third round of grenadiers of the grenadier unit struck, and in the explosion, thousands of Ming troops fell.

"Run!"

I don't know who was the first to escape, many Ming soldiers turned around and fled, under the desperate fight of the People's Army's first troops, under the bombardment of three rounds of grenades by the grenadier troops, the Ming army's front was finally defeated!

At this time, Song Yingchang, who was in the Chinese army wearing ordinary soldiers' clothes, had no time to think about whether he would be shot by the enemy from a distance, he climbed the high platform and looked at the front army from a distance, only to see the front army that had been routed and kept fleeing backwards.

"What's the situation? How did you lose? ”
