Although the Eastern Turk soldiers who rushed to the front row were immediately knocked down by a volley of Western Regions muskets on the defensive line, more Eastern Turkic soldiers continued to charge the defensive line without fear of death. Completely ignoring the fact that the Eastern Turk soldiers in front of him were shot and fell to the ground, he directly passed the wounded and dead who fell to the ground and continued to run forward with the crowd.

No matter how strong the line of defense is, it is made up of people, and no matter how strong a person's nerves are, there is a limit. Therefore, under the fierce and fearless charge of the Eastern Turks, some of the soldiers temporarily recruited from Wuwei County were some of them shocked by the momentum of the Eastern Turk soldiers and some were at a loss, so in a hurry, even the speed of musket loading was reduced, and at the same time, there was a gap in the firepower of the volley line.

As far as the Eastern Turkic soldiers are concerned, they don't even know what the weapons used by the Han people on the other side are, but judging from the experience of many battles, this kind of weapon against the Han people, as long as they are pulled to the close range to engage in hand-to-hand combat, can offset the terrifying lethality brought by this weapon. Therefore, the Eastern Turkic soldiers made a gamble this time, they gambled that they would be able to rush into the Han Chinese defense line before their charging team died, and then end the battle with their best hand-to-hand combat.

Fear is one of the most contagious and contagious of all human emotions, beginning when the first improvised soldier drops his musket and screams and flees to the rear of the ranks. The soldiers on the entire defensive line gradually loosened, and deserters appeared in various places, and even the military commanders of each team were a little difficult to control the situation for a while.

The situation of the Han army on the defense line has long been in full view of Tuoba Shishu at this time. Although he didn't have much hope for this attack at this time, it would be a good gain if he could take advantage of the situation to capture the Han defense line, so he said to the soldiers on the side: "Let the troops attacking in front of them work harder, and tell them that as long as they can defeat the Han people in front of them, when they attack Wuwei County, they will have the right of priority for all the spoils." ”

After being encouraged by Tuoba Shishu, the attacking Eastern Turks became even more frenzied. The distance of death of a few hundred meters of musket fire was filled with countless bones, and after crossing the last few meters, the Eastern Turks finally rushed to the side of the soldiers of the second line of defense.

The Eastern Turkic soldiers relied on their infinite brute strength, and kicked the soldiers of the Western Regions Army who had just dropped their muskets and pulled out their long knives on the defense line to the ground for close combat, and then directly put the saber in their hands upright, and then stabbed down hard, nailing the soldiers of the Western Regions Army to the ground. Then he stepped on the body of the soldier of the Western Regions Army, pulled out the saber, and wiped it on the body that was gradually getting colder, and continued to look for the next target.

Battles go straight to the climax in an instant, and melee combat has been the strength of the Eastern Turks since ancient times. They relied on their brute strength and were not afraid to fight for their lives against the enemy. Although there are also many bloody men in the Western Regions Army, they are still shorter than the Eastern Turkic soldiers in terms of strength after all, so soon after the contact, the Western Regions Army on the entire defense line is inferior.

In the previous battle, these temporarily conscripted soldiers were able to follow the command to hold their positions and shoot at the Eastern Turks, but at this moment when life and death were at stake, some people who were not firm in their minds quietly slipped to the edge of the battlefield and began to flee backwards while they were unprepared and gradually detached from the battlefield.

In short, the Western Regions Army is completely underwhelmed, and if it weren't for the regular group army of the Western Regions brought by Wang Ping as the military backbone distributed on the defense line at this moment, I am afraid that the entire defense line would have already fallen apart. At this time, some military commanders of the Western Regions Army were patrolling the rear of the entire large array on horseback, shouting to boost the morale of their troops, while gathering deserters and driving them back to the front line to fight. But after all, they still have to occasionally appear at the forefront of the battle line to eliminate some elite Turkic army with high martial arts, so at this moment, under the distraction, they are a little lax in the supervision of deserters, so some people take this opportunity to fly to the rear of the battle line.

But before they could escape far, they saw a group of soldiers in black armor and armed with long-handled Mo knives lined up, slowly walking in the direction of the front line. These people walked neatly as if they were a person, and every time they landed, it was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of these deserters.

"The boss has an order, and those who dare to retreat will be killed. Nian Er and other first-time offenders returned to the front line without remembering the fault of desertion. ”

These black-armored Mo sword soldiers were marching towards the front line unhurriedly, and at the same time shouted at the deserters on the oncoming defensive line. At this time, the shouts of countless black-armored Mo sword soldiers in unison soared into the sky, as if under their shouts, even the sound of fighting on the front line became a little weaker.

Some knowledgeable people among these deserters knew that these black-armored Mo sword soldiers were none other than the military police used by Li Wenyuan to restrain military discipline. During their short period of intensive training, they may not have an accurate memory of military regulations, but they still remember these black-armored Mo sword soldiers. If they really just dutifully guard the soldiers in the army and strictly observe military discipline, it would be fine, but they can easily suppress any soldier in the army in terms of force. There were many temporary soldiers who came from the sign of the Wuwei Army and wanted to leave the army and return home at the moment of battle, so they forced the defense line of the black-armored Mo sword soldiers guarding the camp gate. As a result, more than a dozen people were put to the ground by three black-armored Mo sword soldiers, and they could barely walk on the ground after lying for half a month. From then on, the soldiers in the army walked around the road when they saw these black-armored soldiers, for fear that they would accidentally attract the extra attention of these gendarmes to themselves.

But what they don't know is that these black-armored Mo sword soldiers are the elite of the elite selected from various armies, and they are responsible for maintaining the military discipline of the entire army on weekdays, but when the war is critical, they will be put into the battlefield as the last reserve force of this army, and they will fight to the death. That is, when they appear, it means that this army no longer has any reserves.
