For a time, the musketeers on the left flank of the coalition army of the princes of the Eight Kingdoms and the right flank of the Beihai ** team fell into a strange circle of "hurting each other".

If the tactics of later generations are taken into account, the best option for the musketeers of the North Sea at this time is to charge with bayonets. However, in these days, it would be unwise to charge with a bayonet. Because, three-quarters of the soldiers of the opposing side are spearmen. A mere bayonet, in front of a spear a few meters, is simply not enough to see.

In addition, it was also the first large-scale musket war in European history, and it was a rare opportunity. The reason why Marin let his subordinates shoot at each other stupidly is to let his soldiers adapt to this extremely cruel shooting.

Why is it said that musket shooting is so cruel? Because, being hit by dozens of grams of spherical buckshot is basically not good. Dozens of grams of lead bullet can cause too much damage. What's even more terrifying is that the spherical lead bullet will roll in the human body and stir the flesh and blood. Once the lead bullet penetrates the human body, it will never stop without stirring up a big blood hole. Of course, there are exceptions. That is, buckshot hit the bone......

But that's just as miserable. Because, this means, the bones will be broken or even smashed by lead bullets. Even if it can be saved, it will become a cripple.

Also, lead bullet is lead poison. After entering the human body, it can adversely affect the human body. In addition, when lead bullets are fired into the human body, they will also carry fragments of the victim's clothing into the human body. And the rags of the clothes, including the buckshot itself, were very dirty. If you come into contact with flesh and blood, you can easily get infected.

Therefore, when Marin watched the movies of the South American War in the United States in his last life, the doctor always saw the legs and amputated the legs of those soldiers who were shot in the legs, which was very terrifying. Therefore, the musket shooting of this spherical lead bullet can be called cruel.

Even, the damage of this spherical lead bullet is much heavier than the damage of the pointed bullet in later generations. The pointed bullets of later generations, although more powerful, also had a longer range. However, when ingested into the human body, it does not tumble violently. If it is a steel warhead, it is likely to pass through the human body, leaving a blood hole directly on the human body. Such a wound, as long as it does not hit the vital points and arteries, is bandaged, and attention is paid to hemostasis and disinfection, it will be fine. The smaller the caliber of the bullet, the less damage it will do.

For example, during the Anti-Japanese War, the devil's 38 big cover, because of its small caliber, was only 6.5 mm, plus the range was long and powerful. As a result, it hit the Eighth Route Army and passed through the body, leaving only a blood hole. Many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army bandaged the blood hole and continued to fight, but nothing happened. However, because of the large caliber of 7.92 mm and the short range, after the bullet enters the human body, it is easy to stay in the body, and if the pointed bullet is trapped in the human body, it will also have a certain rolling effect, and the damage will be higher. This, of course, refers to shooting at close range. If it is a long-distance shot, it must be a three-eight big cover.

The spherical lead bullet is different, because the spherical bullet has a large modeling resistance, and it will definitely stay in the human body after being shot into the human body, plus it will roll and stir in the human body, and it often hurts more than the pointed bullet. If you are shot, it is more deadly than if you are hit by modern rifles.

……

Right now, the musketeers on both sides, who are firing at each other on the battlefield, feel this the most. Especially, the unlucky ones who got shot. At the moment, they are in pain......

In contrast, the 50-gram pellets of the Gerdenberg Musketeers were more damaging. Of the dozens of Beihai musketeers who were shot, several of them were killed on the spot. And those who survive are either not far from death or doomed to be crippled.

But before they died or were crippled, they could only fall to the ground in agony and wail......

However, war is brutal. It will not stop the pace of war because of their wailing of pain. The two sides continued to fire at each other, but the North Sea Musketeers had the upper hand.

Why? Because the musketeers of the North Sea Kingdom used clockwork muskets. Because there is no arquebus, I am not afraid of accidentally igniting the ammunition of my comrades on the side. Therefore, the musketeers of the North Sea Country lined up more closely and fired more intensively. The musketeers of the Gerdon Country, on the other hand, had to be separated by 1 metre from each other because they were using arquebuses. In terms of firepower density, it is naturally inferior to the opponent.

In addition, the reloading of the clockwork musket is also faster than that of the arquebus. Because, when the arquebus is loaded, the arquebus must first be removed from the clamp. Then, reloading ammunition begins. After loading the ammunition, the arquebus tied to the left hand was again clamped to the clamp on the musket. Then adjust it so that it can smoothly extend the burning arquebus into the powder pool after pulling the trigger.

As a result, the arquebus reloads slowly. Marin's clockwork musket only takes about 30 seconds to load on average. The arquebus of the Gelldon Earland, on the other hand, takes at least 1 minute to reload.

At first, in the first round of three dans, I couldn't see it. However, after the first round of three dans, the gap was shown, and the second round of three dans of the North Sea Kingdom began quickly, while the arquebusiers of the Gaardon Kingdom took more than 30 seconds to start the second round of three dans......

Taking advantage of the 30 seconds of waiting, the commander of the Beihai National Musket Brigade took the opportunity to send someone to carry the wounded musketeers to the back and send them to the field hospital for emergency treatment......

After a few rounds of shooting, the commander of the musketeers of the North Sea Kingdom felt that something was wrong, why did more musketeers on his side fall than the other side? However, he didn't have time to think about anything else, so he could only grit his teeth and insist on continuing to shoot......

……

At this time, the central army and the left flank of the Beihai Kingdom were not idle, waiting for them to wait, waiting for the artillery of the allied forces of the princes of the eight countries......

Sure enough, 40 small bronze cannons appeared in the Chinese army of the alliance of the princes of the Eight Kingdoms......

These 40 bronze cannons are the family background of the princes of the eight countries, and they were put together by the eight princes to fight the Chinese army of the Beihai ** team. However, these guns are not large, generally only one or two pound class, and the largest is a three-pounder gun. Moreover, its style is also the most popular Furlong rear-loading gun in Europe.

Originally, these guns should have been placed in front of the battle early. Because, these guns are all old guns without gun carriages and lugs, only a bare barrel. Before each battle, people must be sent to dig pits and bury them in front of the battle.

However, Charles, Earl of Geldon, thought that setting up so many artillery pieces too soon would scare Marin from going out of the city with the main force. Therefore, these guns were not pulled to the front of the battle at first, but were hidden in the middle of the battle formation.

When the musketeers on the left flank of the coalition army took the lead and began to fire at the musketeers of the Beihai Kingdom, the coalition artillery hidden in the middle of the middle lane was finally carried to the front of the battle and began to dig and bury ......

And Marin, who had been observing with a telescope from a high place behind the formation, also ordered at this time:

"It's finally out! It's waiting for you! Order, it's time for our three-pounder to come out too! ”

So, under the rhythmic command of the military horn, the Middle Route Army of the Beihai ** Brigade also pulled out dozens of three-pounder guns from the inside to the front of the formation and aimed them at the artillery positions on the opposite side......
