Although the Wei army also saw this strange-looking vanguard team, first, they were eager to make meritorious contributions, and secondly, they relied on the large number of people and did not take these thousands of people in their eyes at all, and continued to press forward.

Just when the Wei army was only a hundred steps away from the formation of the Northwest Army, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, Meng Ping, suddenly shouted: "The first platoon aims at the target. ”

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, who were standing in the first row, immediately pointed their guns at the enemy closest to them.

At this time, Meng Ping silently counted the distance of the Wei army in his heart.

Ninety steps, eighty steps, seventy steps......

When the Wei army had just stepped into a distance of about sixty paces, Meng Ping immediately ordered loudly: "Fire!" ”

Although the musket can reach the target within 100 paces, the best shooting distance is within 60 paces, and its lethality is also the greatest. This had already been verified in daily training, so Meng Ping deliberately waited until this distance before giving the order to fire.

At his command, a thousand musketeers in the first row pulled the trigger almost simultaneously.

"Canopy, canopy, canopy......" With a muffled sound, fires erupted everywhere, and countless smoke rose from among the soldiers.

At the same time as these smoke rose, thousands of black lead bullets flew together at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, hitting more than 600 people almost instantly.

The Wei soldiers who were shot by lead bullets didn't even know what was going on, and they only felt that their bodies were in great pain as if they had been stabbed by the head of a gun.

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of blood rushed out of the wound that suddenly appeared, causing them to lose their ability to move in an instant.

Seeing that the colleagues in the front suddenly fell to the ground screaming, the soldiers behind were all stunned.

At first, they thought it was the Northwest Army shooting arrows, but they didn't see half of the arrow flying, and they only saw their colleagues in front of them fall inexplicably, completely unaware of what was happening in front of them.

On the side of the Northwest Army, I saw that the 1,000 musketeers, after firing the first shot, immediately went around to the end of the line, gave up their positions to their comrades in the second row, and then hurried up to reload their ammunition with great skill.

"Second platoon aim, fire!" Meng Ping ordered again.

In just a few seconds, the second round of shooting began again, and the same countless fires and smoke rose in an instant.

This round of shooting again hit more than 500 people.

At this time, Wei Jun finally reacted and saw that it was those strange-looking "iron rods" that caused damage to his colleagues.

Faced with this unprecedented new weapon, many Wei soldiers were dumbfounded and did not know what to do.

But before they could make a move, the third round of shooting began again.

"Tents, tents, tents......" There was another round of muffled noises, firelight, and smoke appeared one after another, and more than 500 or 600 people were once again hit by lead bullets and fell to the ground.

Seeing that one after another of their colleagues fell to the ground and bled all over the ground, many Wei soldiers became frightened and did not dare to go any further.

But there were people behind them, and they couldn't even turn around and run away, and they were even pushed forward by the army behind them.

With no way out of the Wei army, the slaughter of them really began.

Not only does buckshot have a strong penetrating power, but it also produces a great impact force, and once you are shot in the body, you will be knocked down by the impact force.

At this distance, unless it is a specially made thickened iron shield, both leather and wooden shields will be easily penetrated by lead bullets.

But on the battlefield, who will fight with an extremely heavy iron shield, and he will be exhausted to death, and he will not have the strength to kill the enemy.

Therefore, in the eyes of the musketeers of the Shenji Battalion, the Wei soldiers standing together are simply living meat targets, and they can be hit whatever they want.

Although the unrifled cottage flintlock pistol only has a hit rate of about 50% within 100 paces, if thousands of gunners shoot at the same time, its lethality is completely incomparable to that of traditional bows and arrows.

As Chi Fei said, as long as everyone shoots together, a large number of lead bullets will be like a "wall" flying onwards, making it impossible for people to dodge at all.

Especially if the enemy is standing together, even if the lead bullet misses the enemy it is aiming at, it is very likely to hit the person next to it, so the hit rate is almost negligible.

Rows and rows of buckshot bombs continued to hit the crowd like a raging storm, causing a large number of casualties in almost every round.

But that's not the worst thing, the most terrible thing is that the interval between the gunshots is so short that it hardly stops.

Originally, in Chi Fei's original plan, the number of people in the platoon was three people in a column, which was a relatively standard number.

In this way, after the first three rounds of shooting, as long as you wait about ten seconds to reload the ammunition, you can carry out the second wave of continuous fire.

However, Ning Zhiyuan relied on the large number of guns in the Shenji Battalion, so he simply changed the number of the platoon shooting squad from three people to five people.

In this way, when the first person finishes shooting, the ammunition loading starts at the end, plus the time for everyone to run, so that by the time the fourth person finishes shooting, the first person has already finished loading.

In this way, the musket squad of five people in a column can shoot almost uninterrupted continuously, and even the time to reload is saved.

Just imagine how terrible it is for a team of muskets that can shoot non-stop.

Moreover, this kind of musket squad is not dozens or hundreds, but thousands, a large-scale gun array composed of a total of 5,000 people, such a gun array is simply a killing machine.

And now, for the first time, this killing machine has appeared on the battlefield and has begun to harvest human lives in a frenzy.

"Canopy, canopy, canopy......"

"Canopy, canopy, canopy......"

"Canopy, canopy, canopy......"

Whenever these muffled noises and thick smoke appeared, hundreds of Wei soldiers would be shot and fall to the ground, suffering heavy casualties.

Almost everyone hoped that the nightmarish sounds would stop, but the truth was brutal, and after only a few seconds of each sound, a new round of sounds would be heard again.

In just a dozen rounds of volleys, the battlefield was already full of wounded and corpses of Wei soldiers, but the people behind could not even advance three feet away.

The Wei soldiers even had the illusion that they and their colleagues had all turned into a swarm of moths and were constantly throwing themselves into the fire.

In the face of this cross-era killing machine, human life is indeed as fragile as paper.

Eventually, some of the soldiers began to take it anymore and ran to the sides of the group screaming loudly, which was their only way out.

When someone starts doing this, it quickly leads to more people following suit, after all, no one wants to die.

For a while, the originally outnumbered Great Wei army collapsed in an instant, and a large number of soldiers in the front row began to flee to the left and right, unable to suppress it.

"Don't run, don't run! Whoever dares to run away will be killed! The general of the Wei army had already pulled out the long knife at his waist and shouted loudly.

But the so-called defeat is like a mountain, and this army is in chaos, where can it be recovered.

Countless Wei soldiers still fled desperately, and the scene was completely uncontrollable.

Seeing this scene, except for the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, everyone in the Northwest Army was dumbfounded.

Is this a win?

The generals who had thought that there would be a fierce battle could not believe that the victory had come so suddenly and easily.
