As the officers shouted orders, the hundreds of men of the 3rd Battalion stopped in unison, and the spearmen in the center of the line began to further organize their formation, which had inevitably loosened a little as they moved around and suffered casualties during their previous advances.

Now, they're going to take advantage of the last time to sort out the formation.

The archers in the back row hurried to throw the last round of arrows, because they knew that after even a few seconds, they would not have a chance to release their arrows, because at that time, their own army would launch a full charge, and the two sides would be in a scuffle, and they would not have a chance to release their arrows.

Of course, the main force of the charge will not be them, not even the heavily armored sword and shield soldiers, but the spearmen and musketeers in front!

The musketeers on both wings of the line raised their muskets in unison, and then took aim respectively!

At this time, the Franc machine on the opposite side also sensed that something was wrong, and they shot several rounds before and after, although they caused certain casualties to the Tang army on the opposite side, but it was still a certain distance to completely defeat them, but at this time, the other party had already rushed to a distance of thirty meters, and was ready to shoot at him.

They could already feel that the Grim Reaper had raised the scythe in front of them, and the next moment they would swing it down with the huge scythe, and then slash at themselves!

Even if these Franc Men are also highly trained modern troops, but in this case, it is still inevitable that they will be shaken, and many of the Franc Machine's musketeers have begun to tremble when they are loading, and some people are looking left and right, looking panicked.

It didn't take long for the officers of the Datang Army on the opposite side to shout the latest password!

"Shoot!"

After the order to shoot was given, the musketeers pulled the trigger in unison, and the ignited arquebus was caught by the firing mechanism and hit in the powder pool, and its spark instantly ignited the gunpowder inside, and then followed!

The dense gunfire rang out, and a puff of white smoke rose from the array on both wings of the third battalion, and at the same time, the Franc machine people on the opposite side fell in unison!

A close-range salvo of thirty meters was enough to offset the shortcomings of the arquebus in this era with a low enough hit rate, and the bullets fired were enough to inflict heavy casualties on the enemy!

When the Franc machine on the opposite side fell down in a large area, the officers of the third battalion had already shouted the latest order: "Charge the whole army!" ”

Launching a bayonet charge after a 30-meter salvo is a tactic that the musketeers of the Tang Army have always used, and the previous Ming army has suffered under this tactic, and now, it is the turn of the Franco.

The musketeers rushed forward with their rifles, which had already loaded their bayonets, and at the same time, the spearmen in the center of the array also rushed forward, even further.

When the salvo is over, the main force of hand-to-hand combat is not actually the musketeers, but the spearmen who are armed with spears that are fully four and a half meters long, especially the two rows of heavily armored spearmen in front of them, who are the backbone of hand-to-hand combat.

Seeing that the hundreds of people on the opposite side rushed over with overwhelming momentum, they had just suffered heavy casualties in the salvo, and the panicked Francophile was even more panicked!

Although it is still holding on and not retreating for the time being, in fact, it is already a loss of morale and confusion in the army!

What's more, the previous round of salvo had already killed and injured most of their soldiers in the front row, which also caused a hole in their formation.

And this kind of close-range charge hand-to-hand combat, whether the formation of the two sides can be maintained, that is crucial, once the formation is chaotic, then it will be far from collapse.

At this time, although many Franco-robot musketeers who had completed loading fired back, and they also successfully hit many Tang Army officers and soldiers on the way to the charge, but these sporadic bullets did not stop the torrent of hundreds of people in front of them at all!

In the next moment, the arrays of the two sides collided violently!

At this time, the musketeers on the opposite side of the Franc machine man have all lost their effect, why?

Because their arquebuses were not equipped with bayonets!

Loading bayonets on muskets is definitely the first to belong to the Tang Dynasty, and in the Tang Dynasty, musket bayonets have been developed for two generations, and the early plug-in bayonets have long been abandoned, but it is time to use casing bayonets.

Naturally, the Franco-robot musketeers without bayonets could not play a role in this kind of hand-to-hand combat, and they could only retreat and let their spearmen and swordsmen come forward to fight.

However, this also led to a further increase in the gap between the forces of the two sides, and the regular army of the Franco-Robot was originally only about 100 people, and then 200 sailors were added to the temporary mobilization, and the number of musketeers accounted for about half.

Excluding the casualties who they had endured salvos of bows and arrows and muskets in the early stage, that is to say, the Francophone people who are now fighting against the Tang Army are only a little more than a hundred at most.

However, they had to deal with more than 180 spearmen, nearly 150 musketeers, nearly 100 heavily armored sword and shield men in the rear, and unarmored sword and shield men who were temporary and part-time archers.

This kind of disparity in strength makes them have no power to fight back in the face of the charge of the Tang Army!

The two sides engaged in battle for just over ten seconds, and the Francophile who dared to resist in person was already killed and wounded by dozens of people!

There's no way, the spear and the musket with the bayonet, it's so simple to kill and injure the enemy, just go forward and stab it, but it won't be like in the film and television drama, the two sides still want you to come and go, entangled for a long time!

In the first moment of contact between the two sides, there will basically be a large number of casualties, and then, this is the case for both the Franco-Robot and the Datang Army.

And then, it's time to compete in the thickness of the forces of both sides!

After the soldiers in the first row were killed and wounded, the second row was on top, the second row was also killed and wounded, and the third row and even the fourth row were on top!

On the side of the Tang Army, the thickness of the strength is the standard six platoons, and as for the Franc machine, they also maintain a full six platoons, but there is one point, their troops are too small, so that they are besieged.

That is, they need to resist not only the frontal enemy, but also the enemy on the flanks!

And this has led to their heavy losses in a short period of time!

In the case of heavy losses, there is only one thing left for them to do, and that is to escape!

The hand-to-hand combat between the two sides lasted only half a minute, just half a minute, and the Franco machine man on the opposite side completely collapsed and fled, and the fleeing Franco machine man was no better than the Ming army to get there, and it was still shouting to father and mother, oh, no, they shouted "The emperor is coming, and he will also throw down his weapon and run away in a panic."

"Catch up!" The leading captains and officers brandished bloodstained command knives, and the whole person stood up with their feet supported by the stirrups, waved the command knife in their hands forward, and shouted: "Kill all these barbarians!" ”

"Charge, don't stop!"

"Long live Datang!"

The officers shouted a variety of different slogans and orders, leading the troops to continue to charge!

At this time, in the face of the Franco-man, who had already completely routed and fled, an officer ordered a part of the lightly armored spearmen to directly throw away the spears that were in the way, and then picked up their waist knives and continued to move forward, and chased the pace of the fastest musketeer!

At this time, the advantages of the musketeers were also reflected, even if the muskets in their hands were added with bayonets, they were only more than two meters, and the pursuit did not affect the action, but those spearmen could not carry a full four and a half long spears to pursue.

At the same time, those heavily armored units can't run fast because they have dozens of pounds of armor on their bodies, so the main force shouldering the pursuit task has become those musketeers.

This pursuit battle lasted for half an hour, and the whole process not only killed the infantry of the Francoman, but also effortlessly occupied the artillery position of the Francoman, and captured many artillery pieces, shells, and powder kegs.

When the infantry of the Franco-Robot was routed by the tiger, their rear artillery also retreated as soon as possible!

If you don't leave at this time, is it possible to be stupid and wait for the enemy to kill you?

Subsequently, they also chased these Franc manimen all the way to the small pier by the sea, but at this time, the naval guns of the Franco man's men also began to exert their might, and many naval guns opened fire, forcing the officers and men of the third battalion of the pursuing to stop the pursuit!

Dai Liliang looked at the armed merchant ships in front of him, and then looked at the hundreds of Franc people who had collapsed and were fleeing on the ship in a panic, and there were many Franc people who were carrying goods on the wharf, trying to move all the goods in the dock warehouse onto the ship, and immediately said: "Pull up all the artillery for this officer, especially those heavy artillery that we have just captured, set up the artillery and kill them!" ”

These Franco-mechanics want to rely on the cover of naval guns, and then organize a retreat, and they also want to go with the goods, how can there be such a good thing!

Soon, the guns of the 3rd Battalion itself, as well as the captured guns of the dozen or so Franc Mechists, were pulled over, and then hurriedly clamped on the beachhead, aimed at the pier and began shelling.

Why didn't they fire on the ships of the Franc man?

What are you kidding, these Francophiles have a dozen ships. , there are hundreds of artillery pieces on it, and most of them are robes, and there are a lot of twelve or eighteen pounds, which is more than the heavy artillery of the entire Tang Navy!

Dai Liliang didn't have the courage to use more than 20 small and medium-caliber artillery pieces and hundreds of other people's artillery pieces on the beachhead, and it was also medium and large-caliber artillery!

That's not bravery, it's stupidity!

Shelling the docks, that's what he's aiming for!

After a burst of shelling of the dock, the Francophone finally knew that to stay at the dock was to wait for death, so he had to give up all kinds of supplies on the shore and flee in a hurry!

However, at this time, looking at the Francophone fleet that fled in gray, Dai Liliang had a smile on the corner of his mouth, because he had already seen a fleet appear in the open sea through a single-pass telescope!

A fleet with a red dragon and a sword!

That's the fleet of the Datang Navy!

At this time, I want to escape, it's too late, so I have to ask the Datang Navy if I agree!
