It should be said that the Liang family in Detang still has some foundation. Because at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, firearms were not very mature. Therefore, the folk ban on crossbows and guns cannons can't help but be can't help birds, which makes the Liang family, who has a lot of influence in the entire Feng County and even the entire Xuzhou, not only have some foundation in martial arts such as bows and knives, but even the muskets used are also very sophisticated, even inferior to the Qi family's gun that was able to test the eighty-step peripheral target. When the more than 200 shotgunners, who were very skilled in the use of firearms, were divided into six batches of three platoons and two associations on the left and right, and orderly deployed their firepower at a distance of about 100 paces, they still showed quite a lot of firepower and momentum. If it is an ordinary peasant army or bandit who is not regular and does not get started. I'm afraid that at least hundreds of people will be killed and injured at a distance of about 100 paces.

However, at this time, the Liang family bird gun team that launched the fire from the front felt that some of the young soldiers did not look like fuel-efficient lamps, and the team of about 100 people was divided into two teams, the front one took off the small steel shield behind him, lowered his body and moved forward, and at the same time held a steel spear and was ready to fight hand-to-hand at any time. The rear team was ready to launch at any time under cover, but it seemed that they did not shoot at this distance, but approached very skillfully.

A nurse who had some experience in the Liaodong battle formation at a glance knew that he was likely to encounter hard stubble, and hurriedly ordered: After loading the ammunition, don't fire, let it get closer! Hit it closer! At about thirty paces, listen to my command to fire! ”

The Liang family's shotgun team is relatively well-known among the various forces in Xuzhou, so those who are very familiar with this aspect also understand. Perhaps some well-trained heavy infantry could use decent shields and armor to defend against the threat of firearms at the distance of ordinary bows and arrows, but judging from the shields that the young soldiers seemed to be very easy to handle, even if they were wrapped in iron sheets, plus the shields on their bodies, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses in front of the Liang family bird guns within thirty paces away.

If it was a fair field battle, such as facing an opponent like Jiannu, he might have encountered various means of killing and injury before this. However, these baby soldiers, who don't have any artillery and don't seem to have too elite heavy archers, don't seem to be much of a threat at all. Therefore, the Liang Family's Bird Gun Team, which is quite strong, did not have the usual panic in the battle formation when they launched their firepower, and it seemed like they were shooting targets in the face of these approaching baby soldiers.

However, when the "baby soldiers" who were advancing quickly with shields approached a distance of about thirty paces, although they were frequently shot in front of the birds with a high hit rate, but when no bullets penetrated the shields and knocked down even one person, many of the bird guns on the city began to panic.

In just about ten seconds between the firing sessions, those people thirty paces away approached fifteen paces and a distance of about twenty meters at the fastest speed.

When the Liang family courtyard at the head of the city was about to take the lead to shoot, it ushered in a salvo of shotguns with three or two guns that had been prepared at close range. Those projectiles that are only about a penny are fired with muskets, which may not have much effect on opponents like the Jianzhou armor soldiers or the Zheng family iron army with face armor, but these strong men in the courtyard are not so luxurious as to be fully armed to have face armor protection, under the fierce and calm fire, more than 30 people at one end were hit in an instant under the suppression and fire of fifty heavy fire guns that had long been loaded with ammunition, and the subsequent loading and counterattack also seemed panicked.

The young officers and soldiers who approached at close range seemed to be as natural as a drill, and it was a round of accurate black powder grenade throwing.

The old-fashioned black powder grenade weighing about a pound is of course two different things from the grenade in the modern sense in terms of killing effectiveness, and even the modern chemical additive black powder grenade in Germany or the Eighth Route Army of the Anti-Japanese War in the same war era is not comparable, and it cannot give any decent damage to even a person without armor at a distance other than a person, and only an explosion very close to the body can bring some threat. However, the sound, light, and even smoke effects brought by it completely suppressed the counterattack of the frontal defenders for a while, and even interrupted the movement and deployment of the defenders in the Tuwei in other directions. At a very close distance, a team of more than 100 people took the opportunity to quickly outflank in a very loose formation.

The Liangjia soil enclosure is not large, the size of a radius of about sixty or seventy steps. In other words: if it is not a special watchtower or built on a hill but only an earthen fence on the flat ground, this kind of earthen enclosure compound in the hinterland of the Central Plains will often have the defect that the defense area is too large for the defenders due to geometric reasons. Therefore, when the team of more than 100 people deployed accurate flanking and side-fire from the four corners of the wall. Under the flanking of black powder grenades and three or two bombs, the defenders in the earthen enclosure fell into passivity in the face of unprecedented offensive methods.

This offensive by the young officers and men, who lack the simple arms of artillery, may not be ineffective in dealing with them. However, this Liangjia Tuwei was not a so-called fortress from the beginning, and it did not have any experience in dealing with the simple means of attacking fortifications of the regular army at the level of the early eighteenth century. Although relying on the family in the village is not too loose and demoralized, it has not easily collapsed because of dozens of casualties, but at this time, he also involuntarily retreated to the middle of the house or the courtyard of the house, ready to make the last stubborn resistance. In the absence of the strict discipline of the warlords, this kind of performance is already commendable.

"I didn't expect the idea to be so hard, this time I'm afraid there will be a risk of casualties. However, the Liang family's approach is good, and it saves a lot of trouble! Liu Jin, a reserve member of the Datong Society who led the team, is the core backbone of the volunteer battalion, and has experienced a lot of vicious battles, although he may have to face the danger of the white soldiers against the enemy, but at this time there is not much fear.

Under the cover of the smoke of gunpowder brought by the continuous black powder grenades, the young officers and men, who had been prepared and trained for a long time, skilfully climbed over the not too tall earthen enclosure and bravely concentrated their capable forces to carry out concentrated sweeping and clearing the earthen enclosure. Under the effective arson and smoke screen attacks along the direction of the wind, many stubborn enemies hiding in the horns had to rush out and launch a fierce counterattack. However, the young officers and soldiers at this time were no longer the time when the capital was fighting a few months ago, and they were no longer afraid of such a white soldier confrontation.
