Like dozens of strings of firecrackers exploding at the same time, more than 600 Chu army musketeers fired their first row of guns.

After the gunshots rang out, many figures of the Western Army crackled and fell, and the formation became even more sparse.

Immediately after that, there was a second platoon of guns.

The third platoon of guns.

In the continuous fire of the three-stage type, the 2,000 musketeers fired about 2,000 bullets, and less than half of the soldiers in the first two platoons of the Western Army remained, and the other more than 100 people were either killed directly, or fell to the ground after being wounded, wailing in pain.

Liu Wenxiu watched the battle from a high place, and nodded slightly after seeing this scene, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Quick! Hurry up and rush up to Lao Tzu! Qi Sansheng was even more excited, and waved the horse sword in his hand vigorously, urging the Western soldiers to speed up the charge.

Skirmish tactics worked!

Two thousand bullets only knocked down more than 100 people, the hit rate was less than one-tenth, Liu Wenxiu and Qi Sansheng were already very satisfied with this result, in the battle on the river beach just now, the Western army was lined up in a dense formation, and the Chu army's musketeers had an astonishingly high hit rate, and the platoon guns were defeated in a few rounds, but the current losses were within a bearable range, and Qi Sansheng's muscles and bones were not injured.

Hurry up!

Liu Wenxiu secretly cheered for the Western Army.

In order to deal with the Chu army, Liu Wenxiu put a lot of effort into the tactics of the musketeers some time ago, according to his understanding, the musketeers are a bit like Cheng Biting Jin's three-plate axe, the first three rows of guns in the three-stage shooting have the fastest rate of fire, and they are also the most accurate, but then they have to complete the tactical actions such as loading ammunition and formation rotation, and the rate of fire will inevitably decrease, because of the influence of gunpowder and gunpowder, the accuracy of shooting will also decrease, and the soldiers will make all kinds of mistakes in the tense battle, and more firearms will malfunction. The density of fire is getting lower and lower...... All in all, judging from the proportion of casualties caused by the previous three platoons of guns, as long as the soldiers of the Western Army gritted their teeth and rushed forward, they would definitely be able to break through the enemy's fire interception and win this battle.

Hurry up!

The musketeers of the Chu army have all finished firing the first bullet, and although the three-stage shooting can maintain the continuity of the shooting to a certain extent, there will be a small pause in the middle, as long as you seize this opportunity, you can easily rush up a large distance.

"Kill!"

The soldiers of the Western Army burst out with all their might, running forward with heavy iron armor on their backs, and the soldiers in the back row stepped forward in time to fill in the gaps in the front row, they were all the bravest soldiers under Qi Sansheng, and they had enough consciousness to sacrifice themselves and create opportunities for their companions.

"Bang bang bang!"

The guns of the Chu army rang out again, and the soldiers of the Western army who rushed to the front fell on the hillside one after another as if they had been hit head-on by a heavy hammer.

Immediately after that, there was the second platoon of guns.

The third platoon of guns.

Another round of three-stage shooting was completed.

Liu Wenxiu's body straightened violently, as if he had also been hit by a bullet.

It was too fast, the rate of fire of the Chu army was too fast, and the loading was completed in such a short time, which was twice as fast as the battle on the river beach just now, and it was completely beyond the scope of his cognition.

"Is this the true skill of the Chu army? No wonder the Eight Banners were vulnerable in front of them...... Such elite soldiers are truly invincible! ”

What Liu Wenxiu didn't know was that these 3,000 musketeers were all the elite of the elite, and the personnel and equipment were all the best of the best, and there was no second such unit in the Chu army.

What Liu Wenxiu didn't know was that the other musketeers in the Chu army were also growing rapidly, but the production speed of flintlock pistols was too slow, and most of the Chu army had not yet changed their outfits.

Liu Wenxiu only knew that if the Chu army had maintained such a rate of fire, it would be able to offset the advantage of the Western Army's straggler charge, and whether the Western Army soldiers could rush in front of them was now a big question mark.

"Three rows, reload."

Wu Lao Bing silently recited in his heart, his knees naturally clamped the body of the gun, his right hand pinched the gunpowder bag and wiped it lightly on the side of his mouth, and was bitten open by his teeth, and his thumb was picked up at the same time, and the damage on the gunpowder bag became a funnel of just the right size, his wrist immediately flipped over, and the gunpowder inside was poured into the barrel with a brush, and his left hand was sent at the same time to the throughbar, and before the throughstrip was inserted into the muzzle, a lead bullet fell from the middle of the finger and fell into the chamber of the gun first......

The whole set of movements is familiar and flowing, and after repeated optimization, only after long-term rigorous training, will form this effect like a conditioned reflex, all the actions have formed a memory in the muscles and nerves, into an instinct that does not need to think, just like the old driver driving, the left foot stepped on the clutch at the same time, the right foot will inevitably release the throttle, at the same time the right hand to shift gears, the left hand grips the steering wheel, the back against the seat back, eyes and ears are also observing the road situation...... There is not a single superfluous movement in the whole body, no mistakes will be made, and no time will be wasted.

Wu veteran still remembers that when he used to bite open the gunpowder bag, he was used to sending it to his mouth with his backhand, but this would be one more wrist turning action than his forehand, and he would delay a little bit of time, so he was targeted by the big bull who was still the platoon commander at the time, and stared at him with a small stick every time he trained, as long as he forgot to use his forehand, he immediately threw a stick up, and for more than ten days in a row, Wu Veteran's hands and neck were swollen like pig's trotters, and his face and mouth were also scarred, and then he completely changed this problem, but later there was also a sequelae, Wu veteran's meal has also become a forehand chopsticks, how to eat how awkward, every time he eats with outsiders, he is stared at.

"Three rows, reload!"

The voice of the platoon leader came out, and the old soldier Wu's left hand was strengthened, compacting the ammunition with the whole strip, and then standing with the gun, and at the same time using the corner of his eye to find the position of his companions on the left and right, he felt that he was standing a little off, and moved two inches to the left.

Even when the battle is at its most intense, veteran Wu will check his state at any time and eliminate all unsafe factors in advance, and those recruits who have not been born or died will definitely not be as calm as him.

"Three rows, two steps forward." Veteran Wu thought silently in his heart as he raised his eyes to look at the battlefield ahead.

"Three rows, two steps forward." Da Guniu's order is rigid, Wu veteran has long been prepared, Da Guniu's words did not fall, he stepped forward, arrived at his combat position, his arm muscles subconsciously tensed, ready to raise his gun at any time, his eyes were already fixed on a Western soldier in front of him.

"Three rows, guns raised, aiming." Old soldier Wu silently recited the next order that Da Guniu would issue in his heart, and made preparations in advance, his eyes were always aimed at the Western soldier who was staring, but the corner of his eye glanced at the direction of Da Guniu, if Da Guniu temporarily changed the next order, he would not be caught off guard.

On the battlefield, the sound of gunfire and shouting and killing rang out, and many other officers were also giving orders, their voices were noisy and chaotic, but the veteran Wu turned a deaf ear, and put his whole body and mind on Da Guniu and the soldier of the Western Army, keeping an eye on their every move, only a veteran who has experienced a hundred battles would be so focused on the battlefield.

"Three rows, guns raised, aiming." As soon as Da Gu Niu's words fell, Wu Veteran's flintlock pistol was already shoulder-high, and the depression in the middle of the Wangshan Mountain locked on the Western Army soldier who had been staring at him for a long time.

"Three platoons, fire." Veteran Wu silently counted one, two, three in his heart, his fingers were slightly tense, and he was about to pull the trigger at the last touch.

"Three platoons, fire." Da Gu Niu suddenly swung down his sword, Wu Lao pulled the trigger almost at the same time, his bullet was like a sprinter who started with a gun, and the referee just fired the starting gun, and immediately rushed out of the chamber......

When he retreated and reloaded, the smoke in front of the position dissipated slightly, and the old soldier Wu swept his eyes, and the figure of the soldier of the Western Army was gone, and at the same time, the musketeers of the Chu army in the back row came to the front row and raised their guns to aim...... Like a precision gear, the Chu army's musketeers rolled back and forth in turns, constantly firing deadly bullets, and after many battles with the Qing army, the Chu army had been honed into an efficient war machine, and the musketeers were the sharpest weapons on this war machine.

It's so fast! The rate of fire of the Chu army is too fast!

Qi Sansheng didn't know how they did it, but the fact was right in front of him, three rounds of three-stage shooting in a row, because of the tight connection, the rhythm of the three-stage shooting could no longer be heard, and each round would knock down more than a hundred soldiers of the Western Army, and Qi Sansheng's casualties had exceeded four hundred in the blink of an eye.

"I like to stand on the ground and shoot, steady, and not waste time."

When the veteran Wu once again completed the loading, and when observing the situation on the battlefield, he found that the Western Army suffered heavy casualties, indicating that the effect of the first few rounds of shooting was very good, although the loose formation of the Western Army made the hit rate of the flintlock pistol drop significantly, but the Chu Army's musketeers solved this problem with dense formation and skillful tactics, and the rate of fire was doubled compared with that on the river beach, and there were many enemies killed and wounded.

As for the battle on the river beach, the soldiers of the Chu army either stood on rickety boats or in the turbulent river, because the cabins were narrow and hindered each other, and the rate of fire and the rate of hit were greatly affected, if it were not for the dense and neat formation of the Western Army, they might not have won so easily.

"Looks like today is another big win." Zhu Huaqi commanded the battle of the whole company, his eyes swept across the battlefield in his busy schedule, and he nodded secretly in his heart.

The Western Army was wearing heavy armor, and the speed of the desperate charge was limited, and they had already suffered heavy casualties when they had just rushed to a distance of sixty or seventy paces, and according to this ratio, even if they were all madmen who did not want to die, it would be difficult for them to rush into the thirty-step cordon if they threw six thousand armored soldiers on this battlefield.

According to the Chu army's code, if the enemy rushed within 30 paces, the musketeers would fire the last shot, put on their bayonets and prepare for a white-knuckle battle, and conversely, if the enemy could not even reach the 30-step warning belt, the musketeers would achieve a complete victory with few casualties.

Yes, the musketeers of the Chu army also suffered casualties now, and there were some warriors in the western army wearing several layers of armor, who rushed to a closer place under the rain of bullets, and returned fire at the musketeers of the Chu army with bows and arrows, the musketeers were not armored, and some people were shot by bows and arrows, and there were casualties, but there were not many of them.
