Chapter 164: The White Lotus in Blood
This ratio is already quite high, after all, there are only more than 30 muskets on your side, and if you shoot at a distance of about 100 meters, you are lucky to be able to hit one or two people, that is, you can achieve such a high hit rate at a distance of 50 meters.
The other party seemed to be stunned because of his fierceness, or because he was simply stunned, the fall of seven or eight people did not make them stop, but continued to rush forward.
At this time, the musketeers of the 1st Musketeers were still loading!
However, at this time, the archers in the middle of the array also began to bend their bows and shoot arrows one after another, they did not need to change formations to shoot arrows like musketeers and spearmen, and they actually couldn't quickly change formations, so they chose to turn around on the spot, and then the archers began to shoot their own arrows without the commander's order.
These archers did not have the same rigorous training as musketeers and spearmen, and they still maintained the same status as the old fritter bandits, so don't expect the formation or anything.
Don't expect them to come in a neat rain of arrows!
But even if it was scattered free fire, there were a lot of archers, and the opponent had already rushed to a distance of thirty or forty meters, which was enough for the archers to inflict heavy damage on them.
Archers have a faster rate of fire, and fast archers are almost not simple in bending their bows to shoot arrows, and they can shoot several arrows in a single effort.
With the covering shot of the bow and arrow, the bandits who rushed up seemed to be frightened at last, and after dropping five or six people, they finally made a move that Fang Dongquan was very familiar with: turn around and run away!
At this time, the first musket team had already completed the second loading, but Wang Danxu did not give the order to shoot, because there was no need to shoot, and the enemy himself ran out.
Just a round of musket fire and a wave of bows and arrows intercepted made the charge of more than forty people on the other side useless, and at least a dozen people were left lying on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Fang Dongquan, as the commander of the whole army, showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, this is not a smile, nor a sneer, but a wild laugh!
He won this battle!
He drew his waist knife, turned to look at the main force of more than 100 bandits that were pressing up in front of him, and then shouted: "The Chinese army presses up, and the sword and shield team will attack their flanks!" ”
He didn't wait for the first musketeer team to change formation to come and support, and he didn't even wait for the archers to come to support, he just let more than a hundred spearmen of the Chinese army press on it!
At the same time, the heavily armored sword and shield team commanded by Cai Erhu temporarily had already rushed out from the left flank, like a scimitar plunged from the left flank into the front bandits.
Speaking of the ability to charge into battle, the heavy-armored sword and shield soldiers in the Tang Dynasty King Division are the backbone, they generally wear double armor, a layer of cotton iron armor and a layer of iron armor, wearing an iron helmet, holding a round shield in their hands, and holding a waist knife made of pure steel in their hands, the value of this equipment is enough to arm three or four musketeers or spearmen.
Because they are wearing a heavy armor, the speed of the charge is not fast, and the soldiers in the heavy armor sword and shield soldiers are real bandits, they do not line up at all, and they rush up in a swarm of swarms, but this also has the advantage, that is, they are more flexible.
So much so that when they were heavily armoured, they were faster and more imposing than the spearmen who needed to maintain a tight formation.
Among them, Cai Erhu was the first, he rode a war horse, holding a water mill Zen staff that he was accustomed to, and after rushing over, he picked up the water mill Zen staff in his hand and smashed it into a bandit in front of him.
The bandit also seemed to be a ruthless man, and instead of retreating, he raised a wooden shield to resist, and at the same time brandished the long knife in his hand to fight back.
But he didn't expect that Cai Erhu was a real fierce man, and he was the kind of butcher Chen who fought like half a catty, and the water-milled Zen staff in one hand made him even more fascinated.
When the water mill Zen staff smashed into the wooden shield of the bandit in front of him, it actually smashed the wooden shield in half, and the bandit under the wooden shield was naturally not spared, and his head was directly flattened.
Lifting the water mill Zen staff again, Cai Erhu shouted wildly: "Kill!" ”
When he shouted, the water mill Zen staff in his hand was rounded, and the huge impact force directly hit the knives and guns of the first few bandits in front of him, and at this time, the war horse under his crotch was also unable to continue charging because of the weakened speed, and it also affected many of his movements on horseback, so he simply kicked his legs and jumped directly from the horse.
He wants horses to fight on foot!
And after dismounting, Cai Erhu looked even more violent, waving a water-mill Zen staff in one hand, and no one dared to approach!
Looking at a bandit in front of him who was frightened by him and threw away the sword and shield in his hand and ran away, Cai Erhu let out a haha laugh!
In today's battle, Cai Erhu seems to have regained the feeling of being the boss of the Black Tiger Village, and there are nearly five hundred people on both sides on the entire battlefield, but no one can surpass him in bravery!
He put the heavy water mill Zen staff on the ground, his eyes swept across the surrounding enemy troops, and his heart was suddenly full of pride!
The world is big, and the first fierce will be who will be me!
Even if Butcher Chen is here today, he Cai Erhu dares to say that among so many people, he is the bravest!
Cai Erhu was full of pride in killing over there, and Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren in the rear were also very excited, because as the distance between the two sides approached, under the pressure of more than 100 spearmen, the other party had already stopped moving forward, and then those in front of them began to retreat involuntarily.
And more people are already secretly turning and running away.
After this happened, they knew quite well what would happen next, more and more people on the other side were fleeing, and then there was a total collapse.
There is no doubt about winning, the only thing you need to worry about next is how many people you can catch!
At the same time, Fang Dongquan said to the people around him: "Let the first musket team come forward, don't let them run." ”
The 1st Musketeers in the rear had now completed another change of formation, and the 1st Musketeers were small in number and agile in their movements, unlike these spearmen, who needed to maneuver as a whole in order to maintain their actual combat effectiveness.
Wang Danxu quickly stepped forward with the First Musket Brigade, which had changed from a horizontal formation to a column, and they crossed the spearmen from the edge of the right flank of the battlefield, and even wanted to cross the bandits under the command of Lord Li Zhai.
The discerning man knew at a glance that they wanted to run to the rear to intercept these bandits and prevent them from escaping.
On the other side, Li Zhai watched his people constantly retreating, and did not say a word, but kept a calm and calm expression!
Half an hour later, he slowly raised his hand on the thin horse, and in an instant, the bandit phalanx seemed to be quiet in an instant, and then I saw him draw out his long knife and raise the long knife in his hand high, as if the long knife in his hand would be waved down in the next moment to lead his soldiers to charge.
But if you look closely, you will see that there is a small white flag tied to the tip of this knife.
On the bloody battlefield, this little white flag is as eye-catching as the delicate white lotus!
