Chapter 793: I retreated to the ship first

Xia Guoxiang heard that Wei Wujun's firearms were not the same as those of Guanning's army.

The guns they use shoot farther and shoot at an astonishing rate.

At this time, he saw Wei Wujun who was pressing over, all of them were black helmets, black armor and black tassels, walking in neat steps, carrying fire guns, and advancing with the sound of steps and drums, the momentum was huge, and he unconsciously gave him a huge coercion.

If it was a war in the past, who would dare to send so many guns to press it, it would be a pure act of seeking death for him, but today Xia Guoxiang is no longer firm.

"Order, the enemy enters the firing range, the Franc machine bombards first, the fire gun is second, the bow and arrow throw at thirty paces, the sword and shield hands, and the pikemen meet the attack, and fight with the enemy fire gunners!" Xia Guoxiang had a calm face and gave orders.

More than 300 steps away, Wei Wujun was already about to enter the range of the Franc cannon.

Xia Guoxiang's hand was raised high and he shouted loudly, "Ready!" ”

The Franc gunner in the front row immediately lit the torch and slowly approached the lead, waiting for an order to fire a shell.

At this moment, there were suddenly a few piercing screams in the air, Xia Guoxiang was shocked, looked up, and saw a few iron bullets, flashing in the air, they had already smashed into the infantry formation, and suddenly the stumps flew and wailed into pieces.

Hit so far? At such a distance, all the weapons of the Guanning army could not reach it, so it was no wonder that Mandahai could only change from defense to attack.

Although he had heard of this kind of cannon for a long time, but it was the first time he had experienced it in person, Xia Guoxiang's heart sank, and he hurriedly roared, "Fire!" ”

At this time, the Guanning Iron Cavalry on the left flank had been entangled by the Xuanhu Horse Army led by Zhang Xuan, and after the artillery array lost its threat, it immediately aimed the muzzle of the black hole at the dense Guanning Army infantry formation.

Compared with bombarding moving cavalry and hitting dense infantry arrays, the power of copper cannons can be truly reflected.

On the battlefield, the firecrackers of the victorious army pressed forward in a horizontal formation, and the soldiers in the front row could see the strict military formation of the officers and soldiers opposite.

The soldiers in the front row saw the artillery in front of the Guan Ning army, and saw the fire gun raised behind the shield, and their mouths couldn't help but feel a little dry, and the palms holding the guns were slightly sweaty, but fortunately, they were surrounded by their own comrades, and everyone was almost arm to arm, and the distance between them was only a few fists, which made the soldiers feel a sense of security in their hearts.

At this time, a muffled thunderous cannon sounded, and the experienced soldiers immediately realized that it was the Franc machine in the Guanning army that began to fire, and the bronze cannon of the Wei Wu army was airtight and the cannon sound was loud, while the Franc cannon was airtight and the cannon sound was mute.

The soldiers in the front row immediately looked up, and saw clouds of white smoke rising in front of the Guanning army, and a vacancy was immediately punched out around them.

The Wei Wu army is in a horizontal formation, the depth of the array is very shallow, the power of the frontal shooting of the Guanning army is limited, and if the front line is penetrated, it will kill and injure four or five people, which is not as good as the Wei Wu army's artillery array, and shoot the Guanning army diagonally from the side, and a long diagonal line can be ploughed out by one cannon.

For a time, the artillery roared on the battlefield, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the artillery teams of both sides smashed each other's infantry lines again.

At this time, the advancing Wei Wu sergeants saw the Buddha Lang machine on the opposite side, which kept spewing out clouds of smoke, and a black projectile slammed into the front of the line, splashing a cloud of mud, and the cannonball immediately jumped up again.

On the front, there was a scream from time to time, that is, the advancing soldiers were pierced by cannonballs, and the soldiers on the front line continued to fly backwards, raising a cloud of blood mist.

This made many soldiers a little flustered, but in the back row of the supplementary queue, there were immediately soldiers with guns, who stepped forward to fill the vacancy and continued to move forward in the sound of drums.

When Wei Wu's army was shelled, the Guanning army on the opposite side had already been hit with many vacancies, and there was a riot in the strict formation.

"The whole division, the gun on the shoulder, the first row holds the gun to the chest!" There were more than 300 Wei Wu troops, a small horizontal formation.

When the front line approached one hundred and fifty paces, the commanders of each division gave orders one after another, and a commotion was immediately remembered in the horizontal formation, and the soldiers in the first row held the guns in both hands and raised the guns obliquely to their chests, while the soldiers in the back row carried the guns on their shoulders, and the guns rose and fell with the pace of the soldiers, and the scene was full of blood.

In the sound of "dong dong dong" step drums, thousands of Wei Wu troops moved in unison, advancing forward in unison, and narrowing the distance between the two fronts at an even speed.

Xia Guoxiang's brows were already twisted, and the closer he became, the stronger the crisis became, and he wanted to stop Wei Wujun from approaching, but Guan Ningjun had no other weapons except for the Franc machine gun, and he could shoot such a long distance, so he could only wait for Wei Wujun to get close to within fifty steps and shoot at the gun.

Entering seventy steps, a suona sounded, the drums of each division suddenly stopped, and the commanders of each division suddenly shouted, "Stop!" ”

There was a loud bang, and the advancing horizontal formation stopped, and the soldiers with firearms stomped on the ground and stood still.

The cold weapon killer team that followed behind the firecrackers and on both sides also stopped.

On the battlefield, the sound of drums and footsteps suddenly disappeared, and Wei Wu's army suddenly stopped within seventy steps of the Guanning army.

The bird gun equipped by the Guan Ning army was within fifty steps of the armor breaking distance, but Wei Wujun stopped seventy steps away, Xia Guoxiang's heart tightened, but before he had time to do anything, Wei Wujun on the opposite side was in a "ready" sound, and at the same time raised the fire gun, and aimed the mouth of the black hole at the Guan Ning army.

The range of the self-generated fire gun is greater than that of the bird gun, and it can break the armor within 70 steps, while the bird gun of the Guan Ning army can only cause a lot of damage within 50 steps, so Wei Wujun does not need to stick it up.

The front of the Guanning army was not a firecracker, but a sword, shield and spear, which were too close, and the enemy soldiers rushed directly over and fought hand-to-hand, and the firecrackers were not cold weapon opponents at all.

Platoon guns are fired in rotation, and the lethality in the front is huge, but the disadvantage is that it is close to hand-to-hand combat, as well as the surprise attack of the two wings and cavalry.

In the Ming Dynasty, the duel between the flintlock pistol platoon and the traditional infantry array was the battle between the veteran Chen Ze and the Dutch platoon in the battle of Zheng Chenggong's recovery of Taiwan.

Elites such as the Zheng army were also difficult to defeat the Dutch gun formation head-on, but used the art of war, fighting and retreating head-on, luring the enemy deep, and then outflanking and crushing the Dutch.

The click of a hammer being pulled apart sounded, and the fire guns that were all flattened were all in a firing state, and the Guan Ning army on the opposite side showed a look of fear on their faces, and the battlefield fell silent.

"Shoot!" There was another suona, and the commanders of the brigade hissed and let out an angry roar.

The soldiers in the front row pulled the trigger in unison, and the hammer struck a spark in the fire door, and the rod against the soldier's shoulder immediately shook backwards, and the punch flung upward, and in a loud noise, a piece of orange-red flame and white gunpowder smoke were sprayed forward.

On the battle line, which was more than a mile long, a long white smoke ribbon was formed in an instant.

On the opposite side, in the front row of the Guan Ning Army, the projectile hit the shield, the fire splashed, and shot into the soldier's leg, the shield soldier knelt down with a scream, revealing the soldier behind him, and a projectile hit the chest of the soldier, and the soldier immediately flew upside down.

"Bang bang bang!" Without waiting for Prime Minister Xia to order, the gunners of the Guan Ning army opened fire in unison and launched a counterattack.

The guns and pills were intertwined, and the Guanning army was beaten to the ground in pieces, but there were few casualties in the front row of the Wei Wu army.

Countless projectiles with a scream, shot into Guan Ning's infantry formation, the soldiers with shields, protecting their chests and unable to protect their heads and legs, the projectiles hit them, revealing the hands behind them, sending out a series of popping projectiles into the body, bringing up clouds of blood mist.

Xia Guoxiang was shocked, this was completely standing as a target and being shot passively.

"Press it up!" Xia Guoxiang roared angrily.

Guan Ning's infantry did not immediately carry out the order, but was bombarded and instinctively retreated.

Seeing this, Xu Heihu immediately waved his hand, "The right-wing horse army is assaulting!" ”

More than 1,500 tiger horse troops on the right flank were already ready to go, and with an order, the cavalry suddenly slowly raised the speed of their horses, rushed forward, and directly pounced on the right wing of the Guanning army.

On the vast battlefield, the middle infantry battle, the fire bolt fired, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the war horses on both wings galloped, and the scene was spectacular.

With the infantry fighting, Xu Heihu immediately saw that the Kesheng infantry army stabilized the Guanning infantry formation, and the Xuan Hu Ma Army only needed to contain the remaining Guan Ning Ma Army, and the Wei Wu Army would inevitably win, so he did not hesitate to let the right wing of the Xuan Hu Battalion press up.

The muscles on Xia Guoxiang's face twitched unnaturally in Guan Ning's army, he had already found that the infantry army was not Wei Wujun's opponent, not Guan Ning's soldiers, and the opponent's firepower was too fierce.

If the infantry army had rushed forward earlier, there might have been a fight, but now the infantry army has been bombarded for a while, all the sharp energy is lost, the formation is scattered, and it is difficult to charge.

At this time, the opponent's cavalry is all bet, and if he also bets the cavalry, once the infantry is defeated, the cavalry will also be entangled.

Xia Guoxiang gritted his teeth, took out the tradition of the Guanning Army, and made a very wise decision, "Pass the order, retreat!" ”

Retreating at this time is no different from escaping, but at least it can keep the horse army, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry is the foundation of the Guanning army.

The sound of the horn rose to the sky, and the two wings of Guan Ning's iron horsemen did not hesitate to pull out their horses and leave.

The Guanning army can survive to this day, in addition to its strong combat power, it is also able to judge the situation and not make unnecessary sacrifices, and escape is also their skill.

The Guan Ning infantry who were fighting hard in the center of the battlefield were dumbfounded when they heard this horn, and many people did not react, but the horse troops on both wings moved when they heard the sound, pulled the reins of the horses, turned the heads of the horses, and quickly withdrew from the battlefield with superb riding skills, throwing them a decisive back.

In the Wei Wu army, Xu Heihu suddenly exclaimed, "Lie down ~ chase me ~"
