On the night of May 25, 1641, Mo Ming stood solemnly behind a bunker made of several wooden boxes, carefully observing everything outside the camp. As early as an hour ago, the scouts began to relay information from the outside world back until the barbarian brigade approached and they were completely driven back to the camp.

However, just one hour was enough for Mo Ming and the others to make a relatively clear judgment. Although night had already covered the land, and a heavy fog had fallen outside, the movement of thousands of people could not be hidden. The East Bank Army camp was a triangular camp along the river facing north-east, with a total of two barbed wire fences. Because of the rush of time, the second barbed wire fence had not yet come to hang the barbs in a hurry. The distance between the two barbed wire fences was about 20 meters, and the soldiers of the engineering battalion were urgently hanging barbs on the second barbed wire fence while throwing a large amount of thistle terrestris between the two barbed wire fences.

The soldiers of the 103rd and 104th companies were assigned to the southeast flank, which was likely to be attacked by the enemy. The 360 officers and men of the two companies were all wearing helmets and armor, lined up in three lines, and prepared to fire in three rounds to maintain the continuous firepower. In front of them are rows of spear-wielding samurai who will use their spears to stab the enemy as they approach the barbed wire fence to stall the enemy and give the musketeers more time to shoot.

Under the command of Sergeant Salvador, more than 300 musketeers of the River Security Regiment lined up in the northwest corner of the second barbed wire fence. Besides, there are still many veterans in the security regiment who have been in battle. There are them who are setting an example. The pacification effect on recruits is enormous.

As for the most elite army 1st company. was pinched by Mo Ming in his hands as a reserve, and when the time came, he would be transferred to wherever it was urgent. There will also be some artificially left gaps between the barbed wire fences, and deep pits have been dug between the gaps, and the bottom of the pits is also sprinkled with thistles. And in the gap between the inner barbed wire, a cannon was placed, and the artillery brothers placed the shells (mainly scattered and grapefire) in the roughly dug bunkers, ready to surprise the approaching barbarians.

All in all, the well-trained East Bank soldiers had already turned the camp into a hedgehog in just two or three hours. They were fairly well prepared. Calm and relaxed, there was even time to finish dinner in batches before the battle.

Suddenly there was a cacophony of shouts in the night, followed by a slightly chaotic sound of running footsteps.

"Attention, the barbarians are attacking." Some veteran non-commissioned officers and platoon commanders began to warn the soldiers under their command, and the soldiers of the 103rd and 104th companies were either nonchalant, some were biting their lips, some were silently pinching their rifles, and some were panting heavily, with different expressions on their faces, but one thing was the same, when the leading officer raised the command knife in his hand, they all raised their rifles forward with a resolute face at the same time.

"Boom! Rumble! "The artillery brothers have already fired more than a dozen solid iron bullets in front of them, and they don't know what the results of the battle have been caused by the road in the dark.

"Shoot!" Chang Kaisheng, who was heavily armed, listened to the footsteps. After estimating the distance, he suddenly waved the command knife in his hand.

"Bang! Bang! "More than a hundred rifles were fired at almost the same time, albeit under the influence of damp mist. But the firing rate is still more than 70%. There were some screams faintly heard in the darkness, but they were quickly drowned out by the sound of more dense footsteps. The first row of musketeers quickly retreated and reloaded, while the second row of musketeers stepped forward quickly, standing behind a simple breastwall of wooden boxes and began to shoot. In the darkness, spear flames erupted from the barrel of the gun, like blooming flowers of death, taking away fresh lives.

"Whew!" Hundreds of throwing spears were projected into the camp of the East Coast people over a distance of tens of meters with a sound of breaking through the air. Although they were fully armed, a considerable number of them were shot in the head and limbs, and fell to the ground screaming, especially the Eight Banner warriors who were only equipped with leather armor and hats. Their thin armor was completely unable to block the sharp spears that broke through the air, and many of them were shot from the chest to the back, and fell down without saying a word. The medics, with the assistance of the soldiers of the baggage battalion, carried the wounded soldiers off the line of fire and transported them to the bank of the river for emergency treatment.

The fastest savages had already rushed to the first barbed wire, and the torches hung on the stakes illuminated their hideous faces. Most of them were naked, with only a short skirt around their waists, and they were a little overwhelmed by the barbed wire, and some of the reckless ones were about to climb over but were stabbed by the barbs on them. However, the people behind did not know why the road stopped in front of the road, they only knew that the road rushed forward vigorously, so many barbarians had just established themselves in front of the barbed wire fence before the people behind them were completely squeezed down on the barbed wire.

Heart-rending screams rang out in front of the barbed wire. The barbarians who rushed to the front were completely slapped on the barbed wire by the surging crowd behind, acting as a stepping stone for those behind. The barbarians behind stepped on their bodies, braving a dense barrife of musket bullets and rifle shots, leaping over the barbed wire more than a meter high, holding short spears in their hands, and howling into the first barbed wire. However, their screams suddenly increased at this time. The first line of barbed wire was covered with sharp thistles that easily pierced the soles of their feet, and many of them sat directly on the ground in pain, but it hurt them even more.

The soldiers of the East Coast Army calmly fired musket volleys, and as the barbarians at the first line of barbed wire became denser and denser, so did their success. At this time, under the command of Li Wenchang, the artillery units were also uniformly reloaded with scattered bullets, and at a short distance of several tens of meters, glass slags, broken iron pieces, broken stones, iron nails, and other items splashed out of the muzzles of the guns caused extremely terrifying casualties in the dense crowd. Often, a single shot of a diffuse projectile can create an open space in a fan-shaped area in front of it, and all the barbarians in this fan-shaped area fall to the ground screaming, and many of them are covered in blood and fall to the ground without even reacting.

But there are too many barbarians. Under the multiple firepower strikes, more and more people rushed into the net over the first barbed wire, and some fierce people even endured severe pain and roared angrily and rushed to the second barbed wire fence more than 20 meters away, but they were naturally killed by the foot bows of the Eight Banner warriors, and the few who rushed to the front were also stabbed with spears and fell to the ground unwillingly. The battle has heated as more and more barbarians rush in, their corpses even covering the open space between the two barbed wires, and the barbarians outside the barbed wire are also throwing short spears inward to disrupt the firing rhythm of the soldiers on the east bank.

Mo Ming's hand holding the telescope also trembled slightly. The battle was so fierce that the barbarians' way of fighting regardless of casualties greatly shocked him, and the ground inside and outside the first barbed wire fence was covered with a thick layer of corpses, and the air was filled with an extremely thick smell of blood, and even gradually tended to cover up the smell of gunpowder burning.

After many years of fighting, it is only today that he truly understands what the legendary crowd tactics are. These barbarians are so crazy that they have killed and wounded hundreds of people, and they are still charging forward one after another. Don't these barbarians and ordinary soldiers know what fear is? Mo Ming didn't understand a little, maybe they couldn't see the situation in the darkness and fog clearly, so they only knew that they were moving forward vigorously; Maybe these barbarians really don't know what the fear of the Dao is, and Mo Ming is faintly unwilling to believe in the latter possibility.

More and more barbarians rushed to the second barbed wire, trampling on the corpses of their companions, roaring and screaming at the East Coasters hiding behind the barbed wire. However, their efforts were halted by the spear formation of the Eight Banners samurai waiting behind the barbed wire, and more than a thousand Eight Banner samurai armed with three-meter standard spears continued to stab their spears forward, then retract, stab again, and retract again under the unified command of the officers. Each stab will cause a large number of barbarians to bleed in the chest and lower abdomen, and fall to the ground screaming. Of course, the barbarians' counterattack also caused them some casualties, but the men in front were killed and wounded and the people behind immediately made up for it to ensure the stability of the spear line.

The cruising Eight Banner Foot archers calmly roamed behind the second barbed wire, and from time to time they used their powerful infantry bows to shoot at the barbarians outside. Their targets were mainly barbarians who looked like officers, as well as some guys who danced particularly happily. The damage they inflicted on the barbarians was also enormous, and many of the barbarian officers or warriors fell silently to the ground under these precise rifle shots. The barbarians who had lost their command were in confusion and could only rush forward with their heads covered, and small-scale cluster spear shooting like the one before was becoming less and less common, much to the relief of the soldiers on the east coast.

The artillery continued to fire, and their terrifying lethality was on full display in this battle. Even the barbarian soldiers, who didn't seem to have much fear of death, developed a great fear of this monster capable of tearing apart people's bodies, consciously or unconsciously out of the range of artillery fire, and crowded into a narrow area where other artillery could not fire, but this provided excellent targets for the musketeers on the east coast to fire volleys of guns.

In front of the barbed wire, rivers of blood flowed and dead bodies were everywhere, like hell on earth. (To be continued......)
