Chapter 81: Van Wei Sect Master II

The first battalion of Shandong is the original second battalion of Taihang Mountain, which is much better than other teams in terms of overall formation and individual firearms, so this kind of bayonet work is still the safest for them.

The first battalion here was carefully encircled, not every scout was sleeping, and the reason for not sleeping was not because he had to stand guard for his brothers, but because he was simply idle and couldn't sleep.

There were about fifty or sixty scouts in the three waves, and there were seven or eight of them in total, and it was daytime, so there was no way to expect a 100% success in the sneak attack.

While the first battalion went to besiege the scouts, the other troops bypassed the scouts and continued to approach the Qing camp.

Sure enough, when Li Qingyuan arrived two miles outside the Qing army camp, there was the sound of bird guns shooting behind him, Li Qingyuan did not hesitate, and the troops immediately launched an attack on the Qing army camp!

Even if the Qing army was lazy, the camp of the regular army was still a little shapely, and the walls and watchtowers were complete, so when the Qing army watchtower saw that Li Qingyuan's troops began to beat the gong to notify inside, the demomen arranged by Li Qingyuan had already come to the enemy two hundred meters away.

The Qing army didn't know what to do in the camp, but it wasn't until the Demoman came to the wall that the first Qing army went to the wall, and after the Demoman lit the fuse and exited, the door to the Qing camp was hurriedly opened.

Then there was a few bangs, and the Qing army camps on both sides were blown out of a big gap, and the Qing army was immediately at a loss, and the two camps had different ways to deal with it.

The one on the left began to drive out of the camp, trying to fight the incoming men outside the camp.

The one on the right saw that a gap had been blown out of the wall, and the enemy had already entered within 500 steps, so he hurriedly asked everyone to guard the wall, the gate, and the gap.

No matter how the Qing army responded, Li Qingyuan's musket battalion just followed the order and slowly pressed towards the Qing army's camp, 500 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters, and went into the firing range, everyone unloaded the muskets on their backs and put them in their hands and began to prepare to shoot.

The troops continued to move forward, and after entering 200 meters, the camp on the left of the Qing army barely lined up in the first few rows, and the soldiers also lit the arquebuses with shotguns and prepared to start shooting.

However, Li Qingyuan's troops advanced to one hundred and fifty meters and did not move, and the troops began to put their guns in shape in the final form.

Qing Jun looked at the other party's strangely shaped firearms, and there was no arquebus, and it was still one hundred and fifty steps away, and felt that the other party's series of behaviors did not look like a war at all.

The Qing army officers even judged that the other party must be waiting for them to attack, so the Qing army was still unhurriedly sorting out the formation behind them.

As a result, at this time, the gunshots rang out, and when the Qing army had not had time to laugh at the other party's empty guns, they were shocked to find that someone on their side had fallen to the ground, and it was not one or two, but there were as many as two or three hundred people in one round.

The Qing soldiers began to stir a little, and the Qing officers were busy maintaining the formation while thinking about countermeasures, all of this was like a dream, how could these people's firearms shoot so far?

When the Qing army was still in a stunned daze, Li Qingyuan's troops completely pulled the Qing army back to reality after eight seconds later, after the second round of shooting, the enemy can indeed send so far, what should they do, more than 200 people were killed in the second round of shooting, and the strength of the entire Qing army's left battalion has been reimbursed by a quarter.

Seeing that he couldn't reach the enemy, the officer couldn't be beaten passively like this, so he didn't care about organizing the formation, and immediately ordered the Qing army to start advancing.

After advancing seven or eight steps, they were shot one more round, and after another round of shooting, the Qing army saw that they could not bear it and began to retreat, but when they retreated, they were hit by another round, and the Qing army collapsed directly and fled desperately to the camp, but on the way to escape, they were hit two more rounds from behind.

The troops only fired seven shots, and the Qing army suffered more than half of the casualties, looking at the moans of those who were wounded and fell to the ground, and those who were a little less injured and stumbling towards the camp, Li Qingyuan knew that the real battle was not like the one on TV who was shot and died.

The Qing troops on the left had less than two minutes from the time they fired the first shot to the time they collapsed, and at this time the troops on the right had just reached 150 meters outside the Qing army camp to form their formation.

The Qing army relied on the large camp, hiding behind the wall or behind the shield, and had sufficient time to prepare, and the officers planned to hide in the camp after seeing the encounter on the left.

Li Qingyuan was not in a hurry, and when he reached 150 meters, he ordered the troops to shoot, but after the gun rang out, the walls and shields that the Qing army regarded as relying on did not bring them safety, and the first bullet of the musket battalion was slow, so the penetration was amazing, and a small shield and log wall could not play a role in blocking it at all.

However, it is not that it is useless, with the blocking of the wall and shield, Li Qingyuan can't see the specific location of the enemy clearly, so a round of shooting on this side only caused more than 100 casualties.

But Li Qingyuan is not in a hurry, as long as he dares to dodge, he can shoot slowly like this.

The enemy hid in the camp, and he was all a target in actual combat, but after three rounds of shooting, the Qing army was a little unbearable, and when will the days when this can only be beaten and cannot fight back?

More than 400 people were killed in three rounds of shooting, will more than 2,000 people be killed by more than a dozen rounds of shooting? The Qing army hurriedly dispersed.

The anxiety of the Qing army was the same for Li Qingyuan, at first the Qing army was dense, which was fine, but now the Qing army began to disperse, and the difficulty of striking was greater, and the muskets were inaccurate, and now it is even more difficult to hit accurately once dispersed.

Li Qingyuan simply gritted his teeth and ordered the troops to continue to advance to a hundred meters, and the Qing army hurriedly raised their guns to shoot when they saw the enemy moving forward, but their bird guns with an effective range of seventy or eighty meters were really useless.

But when it came to a hundred meters, the situation was different, hundreds of shotgunners in the Qing army could more or less blind cats touch dead mice, and injuries on Li Qingyuan's side began to appear.

The effective range of the bird gun is seventy or eighty steps, not that he can only hit so far, but that he is enough to kill people at such a distance, and the lethality of the bullet begins to decrease at this distance, but there is also a process of reduction, so it is still no problem to hurt people in a hundred meters, if there is bad luck and is hit in a vulnerable part, it is also possible to die, but the probability is a little bit.

Seeing that their weapons could inflict damage on the enemy, the Qing army gradually regained a little confidence, but when Li Qingyuan's troops raised their guns, the confidence of the Qing army fell back into the abyss.

With rifling-blessed bullets, the soldier's shooting accuracy has been greatly improved, and although it cannot be said that the distance of 100 meters can not be said to hit ten rings, at least the number of missed targets has been greatly reduced.

Training in peacetime can ensure at least 50 percent of the target rate, and even if there are psychological factors on the battlefield and so on, it can also ensure a 30 percent target rate.
