Ma Bao looked at the posture of the Guards Brigade of the Huaxia Army and snorted coldly, he has fought against the Huaxia Army many times, and he knows that the weapons of the Huaxia Army are powerful, and the battle formation tactics are powerful, but what is the use of being powerful?

That's 30,000 soldiers and horses, I still have 20,000 soldiers and horses here, ten times as many as you, this time you rode lightly, the ammunition you brought must be insufficient, I just need to surround you with 30,000 soldiers and horses, even if these 30,000 soldiers and horses are dead and scattered, I still have 20,000 soldiers and horses, and this is also close to the city of Linyi Mansion, soon Hong Chengchou will bring people to rescue, I see how your 5,000 soldiers and horses escape from the palm of my hand.

I thought that this retreat of the Lu army was defeated, a fiasco, and I wanted to turn over in the future, it was impossible, there was a blood transfusion of the Qing Dynasty before, and now the Lu country is isolated and helpless, surrounded by the Huaxia army on all sides, the enemy is strong and I am weak, Ma Bao is still a little disheartened, and wants to escape, except for fleeing from the sea to the territory of the Qing Dynasty, there is nowhere to go, I didn't expect a seemingly failed retreat, it will actually catch the big fish, the guards brigade of the Huaxia army, from the flag, it is the first brigade of the guards brigade, Who doesn't know that the First Brigade of the Guards Brigade is the guard unit directly under Zhang Qiang, the chief of the bandits of the Huaxia Army, and where he goes, where does the First Brigade of the Guards Brigade go, that is to say, the bandit leader is in this unit.

Compared with these people, the rising Huaxia Army and Zhang Qiang are rebellious, bandits, only the Qing Dynasty is orthodox, although they also rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and established the Lu State, but their own qualifications are the generals of the Qing Dynasty, civil officials, but the concept is different, not the rebellion of the Qing Dynasty, they are actually still the people of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty has been in the customs for more than ten years has made them accept the Qing Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts.

Ma Bao felt here that the 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Huaxia Army Guards Brigade were dead, and the more than 5,000 soldiers of the Huaxia Army Guards Brigade were not?

After a long time of running, one day and one night, now it is equivalent to two days and one night, without sufficient rest, even if the strong-willed person faces the overwhelming enemy, like a natural disaster, there is fear and pressure in his heart, not to mention that this fear and pressure has been amplified by physical and mental exhaustion and neurasthenia, and it is even more terrible.

They now look desperate.

But in the face of survival, under despair, people can often stimulate more potential, concentrate, look at the overwhelming enemy, everyone concentrates, skillfully pull the bolt, the number of loaded bullets, compared to the general Guards brigade soldiers, the cavalry of the Guards is even more powerful, they hold part of the rifled arquebus, part of the rifled flintlock pistol, single one rearloading rifled rifle, so their range and accuracy are more powerful and fast than those soldiers holding smoothbore flintlock guns.

The enemy is still at a distance of 400 meters, they take serious aim, and when the enemy breaks through to a distance of 300 meters, they have already opened fire, although the firepower is not much, but the accuracy rate is as high as 50 percent, the enemy rushed to the front of the cavalry brandishing sabers, shouting, the next moment, abruptly stopped, fell off the horse, and was trampled into a pulp by the cavalry behind him.

"Bang bang," the gunshots rang out in the sky.

The enemy fell off their horses one after another, and some of the enemy's cavalry with their blood, and the dream of wanting to be promoted and make a fortune stimulated them, so that they forgot their fears, lost their perception of the surroundings, and some comrades fell off their horses, and they could not measure the situation, so they rushed forward as always, and after that, as long as the people who rushed to the position of the leader in front were knocked off their horses, the rifled guns of two or three hundred people were not played, and they may not be able to restrain the enemy's charge on all fronts, but they can make all the enemies who rushed to the front continue to fall off their horses.

At a distance of 200 meters, the soldiers of the Guards Brigade armed with smoothbore guns also opened fire one after another, perhaps their accuracy rate was less than 15 percent, and sometimes even about 10 percent, but it helped the rifled guns of the soldiers in front of them to make up for the shortcomings of insufficient firepower, and it was only at this time that the enemy's casualties increased, and only then did the enemy react.

However, many people still think that so many people charge, they may not be able to hit me, the next one is definitely not me, with such a fluke, everyone continues to charge, and the infantrymen who are boiling in blood behind also charge forward like chicken blood, chaotic, the officers don't care about those soldiers, they only care about their own horses and charges, no one cares, and the troops are all sheep.

Some of the three-pounder cannons carried in the center also began to fire, they fired solid shells, because there were not many artillery, only solid bullets could be fired, and there were not many flowering bullets, and they had to be used at critical moments, and scattered bullets were only effective at a distance of 30 meters, at this time the enemy was still wandering at a distance of 180 meters to 220 meters, and was blocked by the muskets of the soldiers of the guards and other musketeers at a distance of more than 180 meters, and the other soldiers did not have that level of shooting, so they could only wait quietly for the enemy to approach.

This distance dragged on for about fifteen minutes, and at last a cavalry rushed to a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, and a massive salvo began, and the whole front was filled with smoke and gunfire.

The smoke emitted was rushed to the enemy's side by the wind, blocking the enemy's line of sight, and had little impact on the line of sight of the Huaxia army, so the Huaxia army could block the enemy at a distance of one hundred and thirty meters, at this time the enemy's infantry also joined in, and the enemy infantry carrying arquebuses fired at this distance, theoretically the enemy's Jingai-1 arquebus did nothing at a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, and their effective range was fifty-five meters, even if it was sixty meters, and now there were three times the distance from this distance, They simply did not have the opportunity to kill or injure the soldiers of the Huaxia Army.

The soldiers of the Huaxia Army who knew all this were not afraid at all, they still stood and fired, and did their own things in a hurry, but with the increase in the number of enemies and the increase in arquebuses, stray bullets were inevitable, and the distance of the Qing army's shotgun flying over 150 meters could also hurt people, but what was missing was the accurate head, that is, who you want to hit, in fact, it was just inaccurate, it might hit 108,000 miles, and hit the person who should not be hit.

But this side only has the Huaxia Army, even if it is a stray bullet, it can make the Huaxia Army attrition if it hits, although the shotgun, the low-level version of the gold reform 1 is not very powerful, but it is also annoying, the unlucky eggs keep appearing, either they are hit in the stomach, or they are hit in the arm, although it is just a "ah," a pain, and then they can continue to fight, but there are also unlucky people who are hit in the eye, or important parts, such as the face, fingers, calves, although the power is not large, but these vital parts can still make people non-combat attrition, Soon twenty or thirty people were dragged out of the queue by the reservists behind and handed over to the military for medical treatment.

After more than 40 minutes, the continuous firing made it impossible for the smoke on the position of the Guards Brigade of the Huaxia Army, which was still using black gunpowder, to be blown away by the wind in time, which affected the accuracy, and the enemy took the opportunity to approach, and the Huaxia Army had to retreat for more than 20 meters, distance itself from the enemy, and take the opportunity to retreat and wait for the smoke to dissipate.

As soon as the fire weakened, the enemy took the opportunity to rush up, approaching a distance of a hundred meters, and at this time the gunfire was again loud, and it was a neat salvo, the whole army fired a salvo, and even the members of the reserve joined in.

A neat salvo made the enemy in the charge lose more than a thousand soldiers and horses at once, but the enemy was still charging, and when the enemy rushed into the thirty meters, the salvo sounded again, this time the enemy lost more than 2,000 people, this time the enemy hesitated, there were not many cavalry rushing in front, and the largest blow of the two salvos was the cavalry, and two or three thousand cavalry were almost dead.

At this time, the regiments of the Guards Brigade of the Chinese Army took turns firing, the left flank, the right flank, and the middle, with the sound of drums from the rear, changed their tricks, and commanded and operated according to the number of enemies and the strength of the impact.

The person in command was of course Zhang Qiang, who was sitting on a war horse from afar.

The rhythmic command made the enemy have a headache, this side just rushed to eighty meters, the enemy fired a salvo, from eighty meters to one hundred and twenty meters in depth all the soldiers were killed or seriously wounded, even if a few soldiers who could get away with it and continue to charge, after feeling their situation, a little hesitation, in all directions, the rifled flintlock musketeers in the column would shoot freely, each killed, even if there was no enemy hit, away from the commander of the Guards Brigade at the front, Or the commander would immediately order his team to fire a salvo, and then immediately switch places with the other teams in the rear and retreat to the rear to reload, so as to ensure that the fire on the front line continued.

A "beep ——," trombone sounded, the entire queue quickly advanced ten steps forward together, and raised their guns together, "beep ——," trombone quickly changed its rhythm, and a few hurried short sounds signaled the troops in front to quickly make a salvo.

So the firepower of fried beans came to the enemy with an all-out fire.

"Woo——,woo woo ——," two short horn sounds, the soldiers in the front row quickly retreated, and the soldiers in the second row quickly changed to the front row and raised their guns.

"Knock knock," the drums on the left flank sounded, and the soldiers on the left flank fired a volley together, and then quickly retreated to the third platoon to reload, and the third platoon soldiers quickly advanced, waiting for the drums to fall, and looked forward together, waiting for orders from the rear.

Ma Bao was already crying at this time, repeated several times, the soldiers in his hands quickly decreased, and seven or eight thousand people had died, and those soldiers who were still enthusiastic just now and wanted to be promoted and make a fortune had become hesitant, even the cavalry in the rear who wanted to grab the merit also stopped, or slowed down the horse, wondering if he would return immediately, or avoid this slaughterhouse-like place.

Until now, the cavalry who charged at the beginning were almost dead, and the infantry who caught up later had already died a few times, everyone was shocked, scared, and wanted to turn around and escape, but the impact of tens of thousands of people, the front wanted to stop, and the back did not know the situation in front, everyone gathered in a space of two hundred meters in length, people were crowded, how could there be room for them to retreat, some smart people had already run to both sides, but most people still kept pushing the people in front of them to continue to rush forward, maybe the people in the middle also noticed that the situation was wrong, can see that he is only 100 meters away from the Huaxia Army, and there are so many people in front, as long as he rushes, the distance of 100 meters is only more than a minute, and he will soon be able to rush over, and when the people in front of him die, he will be able to kill a few Huaxia Army soldiers and receive the reward.
