This time, Wei Tycoon came out in line, charging forward, waving the long sword in his hand, and taking the lead in running to the queue of official musketeers. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The thief army who followed Wei Daheng also saw that the thief army in the front row was kneeling to clean the gun chamber and load ammunition, so they all plucked up Yu Yong again, shouting "Kill the dog officers and soldiers to avenge the brothers", while waving their swords and rushing over.

The distance of more than thirty steps, a few breaths away, is simply instantaneous.

The musketeers, who were quick to load, once again reloaded when the thieves were about ten paces away, and fired their second projectile.

However, there were more musketeers, and before they could finish loading, some of the panicked musketeers immediately retreated, and soon the formation of the musketeers fluctuated.

Seeing this, Wei Daheng seemed to be greatly encouraged, and turned back and shouted as he ran:

"The dog officers and soldiers have retreated, come with me! The dog officers and soldiers have retreated, come with me! ”

After Wei Daheng shouted this, the morale of the thief army who followed him was greatly boosted, and the people who were originally timid and ran behind also instantly increased their speed.

However, after Wei Daheng finished shouting these words, he just turned his head and found that he didn't know when a spear had been stabbed in front of him, and he was rushing forward quickly, so he didn't have time to dodge at all, and slammed into the one-foot-six-inch long steel spear.

The long spear pierced Wei Daheng's leather armor and also pierced his chest, entering through the front chest and exiting the back of the heart.

Before he could rush into the official formation, he died in a daze at the hands of an unknown spearman under Lu Xiangguan.

Like Wei Daheng, there were many thieves who had encountered the spear stab, they had already rushed to the front of the official musketeers, and some had even swung their swords and axes at the musketeers who retreated from Empress Cang, but their forward steps came to an abrupt end in front of a dense array of spears that suddenly stabbed.

At the same time as their footsteps, there was also their lives.

Because the pikemen under the command of Lu Xiangguan had already swarmed from not far behind the musketeers.

The pre-dawn darkness limited the speed at which the officers and musketeers could reload the second round of ammunition, but it also affected the vision of Wei and his bandits.

In the distance, there was still a large area of fire illuminating the battlefield.

The position of the officers and soldiers, after all, is far away from the burning Niangniang Temple, especially the spear battalion led by Lu Xiangguan, which is dozens of steps away behind the two rows of musketeers in front and behind.

A spear about two feet long, like a dense jungle, stood not far behind the formation of the musketers.

At the same time that the musketeers fired the first round of projectiles, Lu Xiangguan ordered his pikemen to attack, although it was not agreed in advance, but the timing was just right.

The pikemen of the Tianxiong Battalion have also been practicing for a long time, and these pikemen, who generally appear to be short and stocky, are the soldiers of the pikemen battalion specially selected by the Tianxiong Battalion according to the requirements of the new army drill code set by the emperor.

In addition to the queue and physical fitness, the only training in the daily day is marching according to the gun and stabbing with the gun, and at this time it is finally time for actual combat.

Although under the command of Lu Xiangguan, when they rushed forward with guns quickly, the formation was scattered, and they did not show the level of ordinary training at all, but when they arrived in front of the formation in time and stabbed the spear in their hands unexpectedly, the effect was still very good.

The wave of thieves who followed Wei Daheng to the front were almost all pierced by this sudden burst of spears.

Although the thieves who rushed behind these people were on guard and retreated again and again, instead of repeating the mistakes of the past, they also created an opportunity for Li Bei's musketeers to safely reload their ammunition.

In the chaotic battle formation of the officers and soldiers, Lu Xiangguan held a spear in his hand, and saw most of the musketeers rushing up with their guns again, knowing that the musketeers were ready to shoot, he immediately pulled back the spear that had pierced the body of the thief army, and shouted: "Spear battalion!" Harvest! ”

The pikemen, who obeyed the order, quickly withdrew the spears they had stabbed, held their guns at an upward angle, took a few steps back, retreated behind the second row of musketeers, and stopped to line up under the command of their respective teams.

The Lancer's withdrawal from the battle caused the Musketeer to face the thieves again.

However, the remaining thief army is less than one-third of what Wei Daheng brought out before, and he is standing in front of the official army at a loss at the moment.

Some of the thieves were turning around and calling out to the accomplices behind them, that is, the large number of Shennanyu thieves who had stopped and watched from a distance.

Some of the thieves are still eager to beat and curse the officers and soldiers.

Of course, as Li Bei's order sounded again, the officers and musketeers also lined up again, and the formation was more dense than before: "Ready!" Fire! ”

After the officer musketeer has loaded his ammunition, he will pull the dragon head inlaid with flint and strike the iron, and then take the position of the gun with the muzzle facing up, which will shoot at the friendly troops in the front row in order to prevent misfire, and as soon as the prepared password is given, the muzzle will rush forward and make an aiming action.

As soon as this action was made, the thieves who were stranded in front of the formation suddenly panicked, and many people began to retreat, but at this moment, these thieves were only ten paces away from the official musketeers, and it was too late to retreat no matter how fast they retreated.

As Li Bei's firing order was issued, thousands of densely arranged muskets were fired instantly, followed by a bang-bang bang and the thick gunpowder smoke that followed.

By the time the smoke cleared, there was no longer a single thief in front of the army musketeers who could still stand.

The ground was full of screaming and wailing thieves, with miserable screams and cruel scenes.

And Li Bei did not hesitate or pause because the thief army in front of him was swept away by the musketeers under his command, but continued to shout coldly, over and over again, giving orders:

"Reload! Obey the command! Reload your ammo! Obey the command! ”

Because of the brief confusion before, he felt annoyed and ashamed.

Li Bei, who had never entered the lecture hall, was a traditional infantry general from the Shaanxi Border Army, and had previously directed archers to shoot more than to command musketeers to fight the queuing tactics that the emperor insisted on demanding.

Although the musketeers were very skilled in training, the situation on the battlefield was ever-changing.

In this regard, he is not as good as his nephew Li Xianzhong, because after all, he is a middle-aged veteran, and he is not so well adapted to the new tactics recommended by the emperor.

However, fortunately, he is a general who prohibits orders, even if he doesn't understand it very well, but he chooses to implement it resolutely and thoroughly.

Moreover, in the battle of the north peak of Shimen Pass, the musketeers played an extremely important role in defending against the tidal offensive of the thief army, which also made him a little superstitious about the power of Chongzhen's musket.

And the combination of these two aspects caused a brief moment of confusion in the formation of muskets in this time.

However, at this moment, Li Pei did not have much time to review the gains and losses of the command, and after the officers and musketeers raised their guns one after another, indicating that they had finished loading, Li Bei ordered again:

"Drumming! Stay in formation! Queue up! ”

After this order was issued, the soldiers who followed Li Bei quickly raised a huge snare drum, and then the drums of "Dong Dong" and "Dong Dong" sounded.

The musketeers stepped on the drum and began to advance according to their guns.

Ten steps, twenty steps, thirty steps.

The musketeers under Li Bei's command marched forward to the rhythm of the drums, ignoring the corpses in front of them and under their feet, the wounded thieves who fell to the ground and wailed, and the large number of thieves who were retreating a hundred and ten paces away.

The spearmen of the Lu Xiangguan Institute, who followed closely behind the musketeers, stepped forward one by one and stabbed to death the wounded soldiers of the thief army who fell to the ground and were still howling in pain.

At this time, in front of the confrontation between the two armies, neither Lu Xiangguan nor Li Bei had the heart to stop and contain the prisoners.

And the screams of the wounded of the thieves when they were stabbed to death, as well as the musketeers who were approaching step by step, made Zhang Cunmeng feel sincere fear.

A large group of thieves like them have retreated to the Niangniang Temple, where the fire has not yet been extinguished, there are too many of them, and the thief army on the periphery has no way to retreat.

Just when Zhang Cunmeng didn't know what to do, Wang Guozhong, who was behind the thieves, suddenly shouted:

"Let's come down! Don't fight, we're down! ”
