When Captain Han You led the grenadiers to gradually climb to the top of the ruins, the heavy infantry of the Liuzhou Independent Regiment, which was originally located on the top of the ruins, had already retreated one after another.

Because if the musketeers of the Ming army stepped forward to shoot, it would be impossible for these heavy infantry to block the medium and close range of bullets, so they chose to retreat on their own initiative in order to avoid unnecessary casualties.

The hoplites retreated to the anti-slope to avoid casualties, but the grenadiers jumped over their bodies and returned to the top of the ruins, and it was time for the grenadiers!

Even in the Ming army on the other side of the ruins, their ordinary infantry retreated to both sides, giving up the battlefield to the musketeers in the Musket Battalion.

For the Ming army, the next battle belonged to the musketeers!

When the musketeers of the Ming army gradually stepped forward, and the grenadiers of the Tang army stepped forward simultaneously, these two armies, which can be regarded as representing the most advanced combat effectiveness of the contemporary era, gradually approached.

And their next battle will be bloody and brutal, because the tactics of the two sides are so similar, the grenadiers of the Tang Army are also a kind of musketeers, and when the musketeers of the Tang Army fight, their pattern is almost fixed, that is, they list the line to shoot!

The musket battalion organized and trained by Wang Yue was originally modeled after the training method of the pseudo-Tang thief army, whether it was equipment or establishment, or combat methods, it was naturally the Tang army that learned from it.

So, the combat modes of the two will be the same, at least on the surface.

Their battle mode is to lay out a neat and dense formation, raise their guns and shoot at the enemy, in the process, they will be hard to pit the enemy's various counterattacks, whether it is artillery fire, bow and arrow shooting, or musket shooting, absolutely cannot be shaken, let alone retreat, and even lying down and dodging are not allowed.

When the teacher of the Tang Army and the students of the Ming Army's musket battalion used the same mode to fight, their fighting mode was what later generations often called 'lining up to shoot'.

In this mode of battle, the winner of the battle is determined by which of the two sides is more tolerant of casualties, and whose soldiers are more trained and fire more bullets.

In the history of human warfare, there has never been a way of fighting that has been so stupid to line up to be shot, and people who don't know will shout: Are they all stupid, why don't they disperse, why don't they lie down to avoid bullets and shells?

But this seemingly silly way of fighting is the most efficient way of fighting, or in other words, the most efficient way to kill.

When they think they are smart and lie down or spread out, then they are not far from collapse, because there is no way to reload the front-loading rifle when they lie down, and there is no way to form a dense fire when they are scattered.

When the enemy lined up in a neat formation to fire row after row, and finally launched a bayonet charge, these lying or scattered armies had only one result: collapse!

After Han You led the grenadiers to the top of the ruins, the Ming musketeers who were about eighty meters away on the opposite side of the ruins suddenly became nervous, and saw a leading Ming army general shouting loudly: "Shoot, shoot quickly!" ”

With his loud shout, some of the musketeers of the more than 300 Ming troops pulled the trigger and fired, but only nearly 100 musketeers in the front row fired, and naturally the back row had no chance to shoot.

As the musketeers of the Ming army preemptively carried out the first round of volleys, the grenadiers of the Tang army inevitably fell seven or eight people, no way, the hit rate of shooting from a distance of 100 meters was very low, and these Ming soldiers were able to hit seven or eight grenadiers of the Tang army at more than 80 meters, which was already qualified.

However, although there were casualties at the beginning, the entire line of grenadiers remained motionless, and the grenadiers were organizing their formations while making final reloads and various preparations!

Captain Han You was already standing on a huge boulder of ruins at this time, as if he didn't see the arrows and bullets constantly flying towards his camp, and gave a flat and calm order!

"Musketeers in front, a hundred distances!"

"First row ready!"

"Aim!"

"Shoot!"

After the order to shoot was given, dozens of grenadiers in the first row pulled the trigger in unison, and after the crisp gunshot, a puff of white smoke rose from the queue, and at the same time, more than a dozen people fell directly in the queue of Ming musketeers on the opposite side!

Although the strength of the grenadiers was less than that of the Ming army on the opposite side, the grenadiers of the Tang Army were the elite of the musketeers, and many veterans who had been in the army for more than a year had frequent daily live-fire training, and they had rich experience in actual combat, so this marksmanship was naturally better.

When fighting in a line, the soldiers are not accurate, in addition to technology, in fact, it also has a great relationship with the mentality, a calm grenadier shot out of the bullet, must be more accurate than the Ming army musketeers whose hands are trembling.

Captain Han You didn't even look at the casualties of the Ming soldiers on the other side, and continued to shout the password:

"Second row ready!"

But before he could shout the next password, the Ming army on the opposite side continued to sound fragmented gunshots, but he was directly hit in the arm by a bullet from the Ming army, and he was hit hard by the blow He directly turned to the side, and the command knife in his hand was thrown to the other side, and the severe pain made him let out a muffled scream, and the herald next to him immediately stepped forward to check his situation!

However, Han You's fall still didn't stop this grenadier unit from fighting!

The captain of the 2nd Grenadier took over the command almost immediately, holding his command knife high and continuing to shout: "Second platoon aim!" ”

"Shoot!"

There was another burst of white smoke, and in the crisp gunfire, the Ming army on the opposite side fell another seven or eight people.

"Third row ready!

"Aim!"

"Shoot!"

These more than 100 grenadiers used the most familiar and classic three-row rounds of musketeers of the Tang Dynasty Division to shoot at the Ming army muskets that were only more than 80 meters away and they also crossed the ruins of the city wall that were difficult to cross.

The generals of the Ming army on the opposite side watched their soldiers fall continuously, but the musketeers of the pseudo-Tang thief army on the opposite side did not fall much, and they didn't know what was happening there.

The musket and pistol skills of their own side were too poor, and the two sides fired at a distance of more than 80 meters, even if the number of people was doubled, but they could not take advantage of anything, but the casualties were even worse.

Immediately, he shouted loudly: Go up, go up and shoot!

Since the marksmanship is not good, it is natural to shoot from the front!

But if the distance is farther, although the hit rate of hitting the enemy is not high, but the casualties suffered by your own side are also small, and now the Ming army continues to advance, and the casualties increase rapidly.

When they were fifty meters away, before they could shoot in a group, the grenadiers were already firing two rows in succession.

The musketeers in the front row of the Ming army almost fell in unison, and the soldiers in the front row almost fell more than half, if from the perspective of the entire strength of the Ming army, the fall was only more than 30 people, which was nothing at all for this musketeer unit of four or five hundred people, but this kind of heavy casualties that fell in an instant completely crushed the courage of the musketeers of the Ming army in the front row.

The surviving Ming musketeers were able to reload at first, but the painful groans of their fallen comrades kept coming into their ears, and many of them were even stained with the blood of their comrades, at this time their hands and feet trembled, and the loading errors continued, sometimes the amount of gunpowder was poured too much, or multiple lead bullets were continuously stuffed, and some soldiers even forgot to take out the connecting strip after completing the loading, so they directly lit the arquebus and fired, and the result was obvious, it must be a bore!

This is still the musketeers in the front row, and when the musketeers in the back row saw their comrades in the front row fall together, they were even more horrified, because at this time, the next bullet from the pseudo-Tang thief army would hit them, but it would hit them, because there were no comrades in front of them who could help them block the bullets.

The proximity of the distance, the large number of casualties that appeared instantly caused turmoil in this musket battalion, which originally looked quite good, and several middle-level officers of the Ming army on the front line could not even stop the neat platoon shooting, they could only let the soldiers instinctively shoot freely.

However, looking at the grenadiers of the pseudo-Tang thief army above the ruins, although many people fell in their ranks, the queue of more than 180 people was actually less than 140 people, and the front shooting had already caused them to lose more than 40 people, and the line was almost full of dead and wounded

！

However, their queues were still tight, and after the casualties of their comrades in the front row, the grenadiers in the back row would immediately step forward to replenish their positions, stand on the side of the dead and wounded to reload and shoot, and always maintain the fire of the entire line.

In this kind of competition for casualty bearing combat effectiveness, the grenadiers finally showed the qualities they should have!

Even if the casualties are not small, these grenadiers are like robots, reloading, replenishing positions, shooting and all other tactical actions are as if instinctive.

And several officers of the grenadiers did not bother to glance at the bullets that kept flying near them, still holding their command knives high, and kept repeating the command 'prepare, aim, shoot'.

The grenadiers, who did not look at the enemy's casualties and could even ignore their own casualties, made the soldiers of the Liuzhou Independent Regiment in the rear stunned.

Nima, is this still human?

The soldiers of the Liuzhou Independent Regiment were surprised, while the generals of the Ming Army Musket Battalion on the opposite side were frightened and even desperate!
