If it is a Jianqi unit that has already dealt with the model army several times, then they probably won't stop and form a whole team every ten or so steps when facing the model army, because they know how much damage the model army's firepower can bring them if they go slowly like this, so they would rather let the formation be scattered, and they will also try to compress the time for the two sides to approach. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 As a result, the Jangs would usually try to maintain their speed until they were fifty or sixty paces away before accelerating, while their white-armored soldiers would fire a volley of heavy arrows at the Model Army's array when they were more than ten paces away, and then engage in hand-to-hand combat (if they had not already been defeated).

Considering that the Jianshen would launch a charge in the final stage, if the gun was fired too early, I was afraid that it would not be too late to fire the second shot before entering the hand-to-hand combat stage, so after conducting research within the Model Army, some people (these people were later nicknamed the Bayonet Wave Cult within the Model Army) felt that on the premise of having heavy cavalry, except for the skirmishers, all artillery and flintlock pistols should wait for the enemy to approach to an extremely close distance before completing the final blow, and then the heavy cavalry took advantage of the shock of this blow to immediately attack. Infantry and light cavalry followed him in a white-knuckle assault that routed the enemy in one fell swoop. And Gan Hui, who likes to fight since he was a child and graduated with perfect marks in hand-to-hand combat at the Model Army School, is naturally also a believer in the Bayonet Wave Stream God Sect. In fact, the model army also did not have much experience in fighting with the eastern army other than Jianxin, so Gan Hui naturally planned to deal with Zhang Xianzhong's army according to the experience of dealing with Jianzhi.

However, the way Zhang Xianzhong's army approached slowly was completely beyond Gan Hui's expectations, and they walked to a place of about eighty paces and stopped once to form a group, and when they reached seventy steps they stopped to form a whole team.

"At this speed, we could shoot him for several rounds!" Gan Hui looked at the slowly advancing enemy, almost unable to believe his eyes.

Since his opponent's movements were so slow, Gan Hui felt as if he had time to finish a salvo and then load up the last round. Although he is a member of the Bayonet Wave Cult, he will not refuse to kill his opponent more before hand-to-hand combat.

Taking advantage of the efforts of Zhang Xianzhong's troops in the whole team, Gan Hui called several company commanders over again and conveyed his brand new order: "When the enemy army reaches sixty paces, it will definitely stop again to form a team, take advantage of the time of the enemy's whole team, everyone listen to the command of my whistle and shoot a salvo, Yu Xin, you didn't hear the whistle of my order for the heavy cavalry to attack, don't you rush out yourself, you know?" ”

"Got it, battalion commander!" Yu Xin replied loudly.

"Alright, let's get back to our places." Gan Hui said.

Just as Gan Hui expected, the rogue on the opposite side really stopped to reorganize the formation after advancing ten steps. At this time, the artillery and infantry of the Model Army were also ready to shoot.

"Raise your gun! Aim! "There was a series of orders from the infantry lined up on either side of the formation. The soldiers all raised their guns. Gan Hui glanced at the rogue who was still in the team, put the whistle in his mouth, and suddenly blew out a long note.

Just after the whistle blew, a volley of gunfire rang out. Sixty paces is already quite accurate for a well-made flintlock pistol. In addition, it was a dense target shooting, so this round of salvo at least knocked down more than a hundred rogues. Before the gunfire had disappeared, the six 12-pounder guns in the formation of the car roared at the same time, spraying countless six-dollar iron balls at the opposite target, and this round of shelling knocked down more than 100 people. The volley of this round inflicted at least more than 300 casualties on the opponent.

This number of casualties is actually not very large compared to the tens of thousands of thieves, but the killing of such a thing in an instant still shocked the rogue generals, including Zhang Xianzhong.

"Mother, this musket, this cannon is so powerful! I'm afraid I'm going to suffer again this time! Zhang Xianzhong, who was standing a little higher in the distance, couldn't help but say.

Rather than killing, the bigger problem that this round of attacks brought to the rogue is probably chaos, such a blow made many soldiers in the front couldn't help but want to run back, and the rogue army, like other armies of this era, lacked good enough grassroots officers to control the chaos immediately. When Sun Kewang's personal soldiers finally reorganized the troops by cutting off people's heads, the model army on the opposite side fired another volley, which brought them another three or four hundred casualties at once.

"It's over, this battle is over!" In the distance, Zhang Xianzhong had already made such a judgment, "The boys get on the horse, ready to lose things, ready to run away!" ”

Sun Kewang knew that if he continued like this, as long as there were two more rounds of shooting, he was afraid that the whole army would collapse. Now the plan is to no longer care about the whole team, the best way is to no matter what the formation, just rush up and fight.

"Order, let them stop forming a team and rush straight up!" Sun Kewang shouted.

But compared to the model army, the command system of the Rogue Army is much more primitive. They don't have a flag system, and they can't convey complex information a little farther away. There is no complicated whistle command system, so to speak, it is still in a state where the order is basically roared, which makes it take a lot of time for Sun Kewang's orders to be transmitted, and the problem of the lack of high-level officers of sufficient quality in the Liukou Army also makes the execution of orders very problematic. As a result, during this period, they received another volley.

"What are they doing there? Whether it's rushing up or retreating, it's better than standing dry! "Yu Xin ran to the artillery at this time, (it is higher here, so you can see it more clearly.) Said to Chen Peng.

"Isn't that good?" Chen Peng smiled, then turned to the artillerymen and shouted, "Brothers, work harder, give them another guy!" ”

"Let the infantry advance on their own initiative, approaching to twenty paces at a salvo. Then the bayonet charged. Let the artillery change grenades for shrapnel and hit targets in the back row! Get the heavy cavalry ready to attack! Gan Hui looked at the chaotic enemy army opposite, and he decided to take advantage of the confusion of the enemy army and take the initiative to attack.

Because of the proximity, the command did not use the flag. Several heralds quickly conveyed the order. And Gan Hui himself drew his pistol and also walked into the ranks of the infantry.

The drums sounded, followed by the melodious sound of the trumpet. To the beat of the drums, the infantry of the Model Army, with flintlock pistols on their shoulders, began to approach the Rogue army with neat steps.

The soldiers in Gan Hui's infantry battalion were only 400 men, which was at a significant disadvantage in terms of numbers compared to the rogue army opposite them. However, because the model army uses a relatively shallow depth and only two rows of horizontal formations, the front of the array is very wide, and from the front, the number of people seems to be quite large. In addition, the formation training level of the model army was even more unthinkable when the rogue army dreamed of it, a horizontal team of hundreds of people, step by step, from the beginning of the advance, the whole team has maintained a straight horizontal line as if measured with a ruler. Hundreds of people strode forward at the same time, which foot was lifted and which foot was dropped, but they were exactly the same, and their neat footsteps could be heard throughout the battlefield.

This neatness carries with it a huge, inhuman deterrent. Not to mention the rogue soldiers who faced them at the front, even Zhang Xianzhong, who was holding a telescope in the back, was frightened. The telescope he had always cherished fell from his hand and landed directly on the ground.

"Holy shit, is this a person? It's over, it's over, Lao Tzu's battle is over, and he is going to run away again. ”

The distance of forty paces allowed the Liukou army to walk, and on the premise of maintaining the formation, it also took a long time, but the model army went up almost in the blink of an eye, and with a short and high whistle, the whole team stopped at once. It was as if time had suddenly frozen. The drums and trumpets also stopped, and the whole battlefield fell silent at once, even the rogues were silent, and the rogues who were still in chaos just now looked at their opponents with wide eyes in horror.

"Raise your gun, aim!" The command was heard, and the entire squad raised the flintlock pistol in a neat and unanimous motion, and the muzzle of the black hole was pointed at the rogue on the opposite side.

"Ah......" waited until he saw the muzzle of the black hole pointed at him, and some of the stunned rogues came to their senses, and they turned around screaming wildly, trying to get behind others, and the formation of the rogues was suddenly chaotic. Some of the wicked people who were blocked by the people behind and couldn't run have already begun to shout: "Defeated, defeated, run!" ”

"Boom! Rumble! "At this time, the cannon in the back was the first to fire. Six shrapnel rounds crossed the front row and knocked down hundreds of people from behind. This time, even the back row was in chaos.

"Fire!" Gan Hui shouted, and a puff of white smoke erupted from his outstretched handcuff.

With this gunshot, four hundred flintlock pistols were fired at the same time, and a storm of bullets swept past, and one guy swept almost the entire front of the rogue.

Before the smoke of the shooting had dissipated, the earth shook slightly, and from behind Gan Hui, there was a thunderous sound of horses' hooves. Gan Hui put away his handcuffs, turned his head, and saw that the men and horses were all draped, like the heavy cavalry of iron men and iron horses were holding their spears, and swept over like a burst of fire from the passage deliberately set aside by the infantry. The heavy cavalry were lined up in three rows, and even when charging at high speed, they maintained a tight formation. There were three horses between each row and the previous one, and no two cavalry in each row were more than an arm's length apart, and the whole team was like a wall of steel, crushing the enemy on the opposite side with a thunderous force.
