However, the group of teenage marksmen did not seem to intend to let go of this group of unlucky people who were lying on the ground in fear. After all, they received an order to "destroy this group of artillery."

However, the opponent is lying on the ground, and if you shoot flat, it is really difficult to hit. So, they had to send someone back to ask for "tactical guidance".

Marin looked at it with a telescope and gave guidance-

"Let the marksmen stand on top of the wheelbarrow and shoot down on the artillerymen lying on the ground!"

Standing on a high place, it was easy to see the bodies of the surviving enemy artillerymen lying on the ground. The more you stand as a plaintiff, the larger the area you see.

Of course, Marin is not in a position to let those young marksmen stand on the turret and shoot now. It just so happened that there was now a row of Yu Dayou's wheelbarrows in front of the formation. Standing up, the perspective is much better than standing on the ground.

After receiving the "tactical guidance", Hank immediately arranged for the young marksmen to climb onto Yu Dayou's wheelbarrow and stand on a high place to aim. On the side, there were infantry to help them hold the chariot and help the teenagers stabilize their bodies.

"Bang-bang-bang-" After a round of shooting, the teenagers standing on the wheelbarrow were all recoiled and unsteady. Fortunately, there were strong adult infantrymen on the side of the car to help support him, so he didn't let him fall.

On the opposite side, of the thirty or forty surviving artillerymen, about 10 more people were shot......

In fact, the teenage marksmen could have shot more people. After all, standing on a unicycle, the viewing angle is much better.

But the problem is that for the enemy artillery lying there, these inexperienced teenagers can't tell which one fell by a bullet and which one is lying there to dodge......

But it doesn't matter, shoot a few more rounds......

After a few rounds, there were only five or six people left in the coalition artillerymen who were really alive. None of them dared to lie on the artillery position, but retreated into the crowd of infantry and fled for their lives......

The good-faced Brunswick - Henry, Duke of Wolfenbüttle, was so angry that he wanted to execute the few fleeing artillerymen, but was stopped by Charlie, Earl of Geldon-

"Lord Duke, if we kill them, none of us will know how to operate artillery!"

"But they can't fire now!"

"Leave them behind, at least, let them teach a new batch of gunners!" Count Charles sighed. Some of the artillerymen who died just now were artillerymen from the Earl of Gelldon.

……

And after clearing the artillery on the opposite side, the group of young sharpshooters also planned to call it a day and retreat......

It's not that they don't want to continue fighting, but because - they didn't have many steel core single-headed bombs this time......

Originally, Ma Lin didn't plan to let this group of teenagers carry the banner immediately this time, but planned to take them to feel the atmosphere of the battlefield. Therefore, this time Marin was also unprepared, and each teenager only brought a dozen rounds of steel-core single-headed bullets, all of which were carefully packed in wooden boxes.

After clearing the enemy artillery, these teenagers ran out of bullets and had to retreat. Moreover, Marin also only asked them to clean up the artillery on the opposite side, and did not ask them to be responsible for anything else.

But before leaving, Hank was unwilling to flash like this. It just so happened that he noticed that several people had a bullet or two left. So, he ordered:

"You guys, go to the right flank and kill the commander of the musketeers on the opposite side!"

The ancients were not smart, and there were many steps to reload ammunition from a front-loading gun. Many people usually remember it very well, but when they go to the battlefield, they forget the steps all of a sudden because they are nervous.

Therefore, in the era of queuing to shoot, each platoon of musketeers would have a commander, shouting the password and instructing the musketeers to load ammunition, so that those recruits would not forget what to do because they were nervous.

This is necessary, and without this guidance, recruits can make a mistake. For example, during the Civil War, there were recruits who forgot to put gunpowder in the barrel of their guns and pressed buckshot directly into it. Then, pull the trigger - naturally, there is no response......

The most exaggerated thing is that a certain recruit egg stuffed more than 20 rounds of lead bullets into the barrel of the gun. But because there was no gunpowder, it naturally couldn't be fired. Then, the recruit died...... The rifle, which was stuffed with lead bullet but had no gunpowder, was found on the corpse......

As a result, musketeers on the battlefield often need commanders to shout commands to instruct recruits on how to load. And this kind of officer who shouted the password later evolved into a platoon commander in the modern army...... Because, these ancient platoon commanders, the task is to loudly instruct those recruits how to load ammunition, as well as instruct them to fire together...... Because they were in charge of a platoon of musketeers, and then this kind of officer who shouted the command evolved into the later platoon commander......

Of course, this shouting of the command to guide the platoon commander to reload was mainly aimed at the recruit musketeers. Because, recruits are most likely to forget the steps on the battlefield because they are nervous and afraid. As for the veteran musketeers, there is basically no need to be reminded. For example, the musketeers of the First and Second Legions of the North Sea State do not need to be reminded.

However, after entering the era of musket shooting, because the musketeers fired at each other, the loss of personnel was relatively large. At the end of each war, a new group of musketeers would be added to the army. Most of the people who came in were recruits, and they needed to be shouted and guided by the platoon commander. Therefore, the platoon commander later became a permanent position......

……

The last few little guys, who still had one or two rounds of steel-core one-headed shells, quietly passed through the artillery positions after the large force withdrew, and came to the place where the muskets on the right flank were fired at each other......

At this time, the musketeers on both sides, still about a hundred yards apart from each other, shot at each other to see who had the most ......

And most of the musketeer commanders on both sides were still alive. After all, with this level of mutual shooting, only the unlucky will get shot......

But when these teenage marksmen come over, it's different......

"Bang-bang-bang-" After a few shots, there were a few less "heralds" (not called platoon commanders at this time) in the arquebus unit opposite......

With the death of a few slogan-shouting "heralds", the reloading level of the Musketeers of the Gerdenbeth Kingdom immediately dropped significantly......

After all, these musketeers of the Gerden Nation were also the first time to use muskets in actual combat, and they were inevitably extremely nervous.

Once there was no one to shout the command, many musketeers were in a hurry. As mentioned before, some of the musketeers of the Gerden Count Kingdom forgot to pour the gunpowder and directly wrapped the buckshot in the deerskin and stabbed it into the barrel of the gun. Then, stuffed inside and can't be removed......

With the increase in mistakes, plus the fact that it was already no match for the opposite musketeer. After some time, the musketeers of the Gerden Kingdom were completely suppressed by the musketeers of the opposite North Sea State......

……

Charlie, Earl of Geldon, looked at it—this is not going to work......

So, at his suggestion, the two Dukes of Henry ordered the coalition forces to make a charge, wanting to break through the positions of the Beihai ** team......

However, they underestimated the power of Yu Dayou's wheelbarrow. When the coalition soldiers rushed forward, they first loaded a row of wheelbarrows with four spears mounted at the front. They wanted to lift the chariot, but there were spearmen standing behind the chariot of the North Sea Kingdom.

If a coalition soldier tries to pull away the spear in front of the chariot with his hand, he will be stabbed by the spearman of the North Sea Country......

If you want a spear to drive away the wheelbarrow...... Sorry, the wheelbarrow has two hind foot brackets inserted into the earth, and the wheels form a stable triangle. It seems a bit difficult to move the wheelbarrow......

In this way, in the head-to-head duel in which the chariots stabbed each other, the coalition forces of the princes of the eight countries did not take any advantage. After a strong attack, the allied forces of the princes of the Eight Kingdoms had to retreat.

However, in the previous battle, Charlie, Earl of Geldon, gave a blow to the Beihai ** team - he sent a group of spearmen from the Earl of Gairdon to rush to the artillery position of the Beihai State, directly used the spears in his hand as javelins, and threw and killed a group of Beihai artillerymen......

In this way, more than half of the artillery losses of the Beihai State seriously affected the firing of artillery......

……

However, just as the battle was in the midst of the melee, there was a sudden sound of "bang-bang" from the southeast behind the allied forces of the princes of the eight countries......

Don't get me wrong, it's not the sound of muskets, it's the movement of three cannons......

Marin had an expression of ecstasy on his face when he saw the three artillery shots that exploded in the air. Because, these three artillery battles are signal flares for the Beihai ** team. This indicates - the reinforcements that Marin was expecting (the 3rd Army and the Cossack cavalry) came......
