The sound of ping-pong gunfire continued to ring, countless bullets whizzed by, and from time to time there were screams made by bullets hitting the human body.

The battle was a bit of a surprise for both sides.

David Copperfield, the leader of the British mercenaries, although he expected that their itinerary had been exposed, the Qin army was very likely to send a large group of men to intercept his side.

But he never expected that the men and horses sent by the Qin army would be so fast.

Moreover, the other party turned out to be a pure firearms unit.

And judging from the firepower of the other side, the firearms in the opponent's hands, whether it is range, accuracy or power, and even including the rate of fire, are not inferior to the muskets in their own hands.

This shocked and puzzled him.

In his heart, he absolutely did not want to believe that there were other countries in the whole world that were more advanced in weapons than the armies of the British Empire, but now it seems that this is probably a fact.

And he also remembered what Luo Kedi, the defender of the Dashun army in Jinling City, had told him before.

Suddenly, a very bad feeling arose in my heart.

If he confidently offered to help the Dashun army attack the Qin army before, the biggest reliance was that his own weapons were unparalleled in the world.

But now he suddenly discovered that the weapon they were so proud of was not exclusive to them, which was a bit embarrassing.

To put it bluntly, his mercenary army can go around the world, mainly relying on the weapons in his hands, which are far more advanced than the weapons of other countries and forces, which can become the biggest reason for them to crush the other party.

But now when he faced a new opponent, he found that their advantage was gone.

The original confidence was also becoming uneasy at this time.

At this time, both sides were still in the vanguard.

Because of the rapid march of the Qin army's firearms troops, the entire team also distanced themselves, and the army that arrived at Shangwang Village at this time was only a thousand-strong team, and the follow-up troops were still coming in a steady stream.

In the previous battle of the British mercenaries, it had been judged that there were not many people in ambush in this small village, and it was also a bandit army mainly with cold weapons, which made them even more careless, so there were only 500 people invested.

In the opinion of the leader of the mercenaries, David Copperfield, five hundred men were more than enough to completely crush a small bandit arm.

But they never imagined that just as they were about to capture the bandit leader, who was already seriously wounded, they ran into a real enemy.

The only thing to be thankful for is that they had killed almost all the bandits who had occupied the village.

So they have a lot of hiding places now.

Although the exchange of fire between the two sides sounded very intense, it was still in a state of fire testing.

However, what made Copperfield even more shocked was that the firearms unit that he saw from the clairvoyant mirror suddenly appeared, and their military uniforms turned out to be all short red uniforms.

The style of this military uniform was very familiar to him, because they were currently in the regular army of the British Empire.

Copperfield was puzzled.

He had no idea what was going on.

Why would this army opposite, which was pouring bullets on its own army, wear the uniform of the army of the British Empire?

What is the reason for this? He thought about it for a long time, trying to break his head, but there was no reasonable answer.

And apparently the other side was not only shocked by firearms and military uniforms, but also by the level of shooting and combat ability of the other party.

The enemy's shooting was extremely high-level, not as he had imagined, as he thought, as evidenced by the screams of his own personnel who were constantly being shot and falling to the ground.

From the exchange of fire between the two sides to the present, although it has only been less than five minutes, David Copperfield has obviously heard, at least twenty screams, which means that at least 20 of his soldiers have lost their combat effectiveness, and even their lives.

"Damn, John, where the hell did this army come from? Could this be the Qin army that those rogues are talking about? Why do they have firearms as advanced as we do, and their uniforms are the same as those of our soldiers of the British Empire, can anyone tell me why? ”

David Copperfield, who was hiding behind a bunker, roared angrily at his side, and John, a black man who was shooting with a short gun in his hand, roared loudly.

Naturally, the black man John was also surprised and puzzled, and he could not answer the chief's question at all.

David Copperfield, after a moment's roar, knew that his roar would not help, so he ordered the large army resting in the rear to throw another thousand men into the battle.

The glorious history of this mercenary army made him unable to accept the two outcomes of retreat or defeat, and the only way to maintain the honor of this army was to completely eliminate the army in front of him.

In his opinion, although the other side has advanced firearms that are comparable to his own, their strength will definitely not be too much, because he knows very well how much capital investment and how much effort is required to establish a huge pure firearms force.

In his opinion, on a continent that was still in the midst of chaotic warfare, it was impossible to give birth to a large army of pure firearms.

Even if there is a firearm in front of him, the army must be the so-called Qin King Jiangchuan, and he spent a lot of money to build all the firearm power.

He didn't believe that the other party would have a firearms force of tens of thousands of people like him, and if that was the case, it would be really crazy!

Just when the reinforcements dispatched by David Copperfield quickly advanced to Shangwang Village, the second thousand-man team of the Qin Army's firearms unit also rushed to the east of Shangwang Village.

In addition to the 800 musketeers, the remaining 200 were artillery men carrying more than a dozen light mortars.

When the British mercenaries were shocked by the firepower of the Qin army, the Qin army also felt tremendous pressure from this British mercenary.

In the past, the Qin army basically crushed the enemy in the process of exterminating the Japanese and going all the way south, showing an overwhelming absolute superiority.

However, in the face of this British mercenary army, the two sides were indistinguishable for a while, and from the opponent's accurate shooting and various skillful tactics, it is not difficult to see that the other party is an army with very rich combat experience.

In the short time of fighting, the first thousand-man squad of the Qin army had already suffered more than 30 casualties.

Although this casualty can be regarded as negligible in a battle.

However, this is a huge shame for the firearms troops of the Qin army, which has always been invincible and invincible.

Therefore, the commanders of the two thousand-man teams of the Qin army also put away their contempt for the enemy, and began to treat the uninvited foreign mercenaries in front of them with a calm and dignified attitude.
