The biggest advantage of the long snake formation is that it can give full play to the combat effectiveness of the entire team, and will not harbor the troops, but it also has great shortcomings, first of all, its weaknesses are often obvious, that is, the middle road, as long as the enemy breaks through the middle road, then the entire formation will be defeated, and secondly, the problem of the two wings, in ancient times, the communication was not developed, and the army commander gave orders to the subordinates to rely on the sound of drums or battle flags, and divided the battle flags into different colors, Representing forward, backward, left and right directions, the two sides of the long snake formation are far from the center, and it is easy to have poor command and irrational movement of the soldiers on both wings. Later, Li Zicheng is said to have brought more than one million troops, and what was placed in Shanhaiguan was a long snake formation, but the Qing cavalry who suddenly broke through the formation, resulting in Li Zicheng's fiasco.

"Hmph, no matter what, I'll make you regret it! The first battle and the decisive battle, the first battle is decided, let everyone go together, can only advance and not retreat, order the young and strong in the front, the old battalion in the back, if someone in the squad escapes, the squad leader dies, if someone in the squad escapes, the captain dies, if they all escape, order the old battalion to kill them all, and then continue to attack. "Aiqi can see that team, in front of them is the bird gunner, behind the spearmen, in the middle is the strange shield hand, although this team is neat and magnificent, but as long as they attack the middle position, first let those young people absorb firepower, consume officers and soldiers, and then let the people of the old battalion come forward, they will definitely be able to break through the formation of this long snake formation, and then the victory will be their own. The key to this is not to give the officers and soldiers a chance to breathe, not to give them time to regroup, so he issued the most severe order to ensure that his troops can continue to attack, once those cannon fodder send their old battalion to the front of the officers and soldiers, then everything can be determined.

"Beat the drums, attack!" Aitch could shout.

With the sound of the drums, the army of thieves began to move slowly, and the way they attacked was to use a conical formation, a formation with few people in front and many people in the back.

"The thieves moved, and they began to attack. Look, they're all attacking together! Chen Daquan stood on the hillside behind him, looked at the black crowd, and began to walk slowly towards the phalanx of the guards soldiers. He was very scared in his heart, he didn't know what kind of long snake formation this was, he was just worried that these soldiers would not be able to defend those thieves who did not want to die, what kind of people were those people, they were all outlaws, and their combat effectiveness was no worse than that of the officers and soldiers if they did not want to die.

The 1,000-man Son-Mother Electric Bolt was lined up in three rows this time and stood in the middle of the line, because the middle was the key to the entire phalanx, and the enemy would definitely focus on attacking here. If it is a firearm in the front hall, they cannot reload ammunition on the ground, but the electric switch is a firearm in the rear hall, and they can reload on the ground, so the first row of firearms is lying on the ground, the second row is half crouching, and the third row is standing to shoot.

Yang Baihu was standing on the side of the team, with a flag bearer by his side.

The accurate distance of this electric switch is only about 70 steps, but such a platoon of guns can still kill people within a range of 300 steps, of course, it also depends on luck.

"First platoon, fire!" Yang Baihu gave the order when the thief reached the position of three hundred steps.

When the firearms men opened fire, a platoon hit a dozen thieves, but it caused a commotion among the thieves, not because there were many dead, but because they began to be injured at such a distance, which was three hundred steps, which did not fit their cognition.

"Brothers, rush me!" Although there were still 300 steps to go, it was not yet time to accelerate and run, but with the sound of the bird's gun, they instinctively accelerated.

"Second platoon, open fire." Yang Baihu roared.

"Third platoon, open fire."

When the soldiers of the peasant army ran up, they found that more and more people died, because they got closer and closer, the accuracy and damage of this electric switch gun became higher and higher, and they were not facing an ordinary bird gun, which can be said to be the most sophisticated fire gun of the Ming Dynasty, and the biggest point is that the shooting speed is fast!

Basically, every five breaths, there would be a round of buckshot flying towards them, and their people would fall in batches, and the people in front would die, and the people in the back would continue to deliver. In the course of a while, the thieves had advanced a hundred paces, but hundreds of people had died, and more and more, and fear spread throughout the ranks.

Of course, Ai Qi Neng also saw this amazing scene, the frequency of this musket is simply too fast, he has also seen the musket, when they attack the local fort or meet a large family, there are also some sporadic bird guns, but those bird guns release one shot, it is basically difficult to release the second shot, and it is disorderly and disorderly, and when their people rush to fifty paces, those people will be scared to the bottom of the urine, so they all despise this firearm, the sound sounds to scare people, but when they fight, there is no use for fart. But today, this bird gun has refreshed his team's understanding of firearms, and this firearm is simply amazing.

Chen Daquan on the mountain saw this grand occasion, dancing and cheering, those ignorant thieves, although they were not afraid of death and rushed forward, but every step had to pay a heavy price, he peeked at Qin Yiming beside him, the more he looked at Qin Yiming, the more he liked it, and secretly decided in his heart that he must pull a talent like Qin Yiming to his father-in-law Gao Qiqian's account, and let him serve Gao Qiqian.

"Rush, we can get to them soon, and kill them all then!" Now there was not only buckshot, but arrows flew like them, and the archers began to shoot freely. Fear spreads, and the captains of the thieves keep encouraging their soldiers, and when they see that there is a hesitation, they will not hesitate to slash at it.

The bandits had suffered heavy casualties, but they were also advancing, and they had reached a position of about fifty paces.

"Everyone, salvo!" Yang Baihu ordered, and the firearms of the three platoons fired together, and more than two hundred people fell at once.

"Firearms stand back!" Yang Baihu continued to order. At this time, the thieves have already attacked, and if the firearms are still here, it will be the fate of being slaughtered.

When the rain of buckshot had passed, and the thieves had seen the birds and gunners retreating, they were all excited, and they finally reached the front of the officers and soldiers, and the next thing was to break through the phalanx, and then they broke the officers and soldiers.

But this was not what they saw, and when the Bird Gunners had withdrawn, they saw a row of large hexagonal wooden boxes, with hundreds of arrows on the end of the wooden chests, glowing with cold light! They didn't know what it was, but just looking at the arrows gave them a feeling of unsteady.

This is a swarm of bees, a swarm of bees tied to jackdaw arrows, and it's an upgraded version. This jackdaw arrow is an ordinary arrow, with ** tied to it, with ** as the driving force, this ** has been optimized, the power is stronger, and the number of arrows in this swarm has greatly increased, Qin Yiming increased the previous thirty-two arrows by more than a hundred, the original swarm of bees has damage in the range of ten meters to forty meters in length and width, but because there are too few arrows, the average square meter range cannot ensure that there is an arrow, all Qin Yiming has made two improvements, one is to increase the number of its arrows, and the second is to densely place a swarm of beesto compensate for its shortcomings.

"Ignition!" Yang Baihu ordered.

Next to each swarm of bees was a man, and they began to light a fire with tongues of fire. The next scene was spectacular, the arrows flew out with smoke and whistling sounds, a little unevenly, some neatly flying out, quite spectacular.

"This is the real rain of arrows!" When Chen Daquan saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
