Puff puff......

As the white smoke in front of the Swedish veteran musketeers gradually thickened, the thickness of the array of conscripted peasants was efficiently reduced, and under each round of roar, there would be batches of conscripted peasants spraying blood like cutting wheat and falling to the ground.

On the real battlefield, people's hearts are in fear of being harvested at any time, and who can care so much about human flesh or dirt under their feet at this time?

Being able to keep yourself from tripping is already a bit of a quick deal......

As the infantry phalanx marched slowly, the soldiers walked briskly, and according to common sense, in broad daylight, humans rarely stumbled at this walking speed, but the environment was replaced by a battlefield full of flesh and blood, and tripping became a matter of course......

Not all of the conscripted peasant soldiers who fell to the ground were killed by lead bullets, many of them were killed by the soldiers in front of them or on their sides, and some were even dragged down by the people who were dying!

Many soldiers do not die immediately after falling to the ground, they are trampled on their backs by bigfoot, and instinctively reach out to grasp things around them, so they ......

In just a few minutes, thousands of conscripted peasant soldiers were formed into formations and collapsed, but the commander-in-chief of Rostov was very satisfied with the current situation in front of him, because his projection troops had stepped on the corpses of conscripted peasants into the effective range of crossbows and arquebuses!

After all, these projection troops are from mercenaries who have been in a hundred battles, and their combat quality is still certain.

The projection troops, armed with bows and crossbows and arquebuses, stood in a focused position, and under the orders of the squad leader, they quickly formed a simple horizontal column, while the hand-to-hand soldiers naturally retreated behind the projection troops, waiting for the order to attack.

Of course, these hand-to-hand soldiers are not idle, if the projection troops in front of them are killed, the hand-to-hand soldiers will also pick up their weapons and continue to attack, they may not be able to play with bows and arrows, but they will still use crossbows and arquebuses.

In the 16th century, mercenaries in Europe had to deal with all kinds of wars, and almost every veteran mercenary learned to use a variety of common weapons.

In addition to the weapons that take too long, such as bows and arrows, crossbow machines, muskets, broadswords, spears, battle axes, etc., cannot be said to be perfect, but there is absolutely no problem in everything.

In fact, in the cold weapon war, as long as the soldiers are listed as elite, almost all kinds of weapons in the conventional sense can be used, and the classification criteria for hand-to-hand combat and projectile soldiers are not only the question of whether they are accurate or not, but mainly about courage.

After the Rostov projection troops stood still, the conscripted peasants finally went around to the flank of the battlefield and retreated to the main position as if they were freed......

Of course, in the main army of Rostov-on-Don, no one cares about the troops composed of a group of lowly serfs, even if they die, the noble lords will not frown, and ordinary mercenaries and soldiers of the city defense army, at most, sigh in the chat, how miserable the group of serfs died......

The soldiers' feelings were more of a worry about their future than pity for the conscripted peasants.

In this era, the social status of human beings is very clear, people of the same level will be sympathetic, true feelings, people of different levels, only high eyes, and low eyebrows pleasing helplessness.

"Ready~"

Bang bang bang......

The conscripted peasant soldiers had just retreated, and when the group of Rostov projection troops were drawing their bows and raising their guns under the orders of the junior officers, the Swedish veteran musketeers on the opposite side suddenly shot out a rain of bullets......

However, the Swedish veteran musketeers were able to achieve such a perfect connection, not because of the timely delivery of Colonel Gustav's orders, but because of the strict adherence to discipline of the soldiers!

These veteran Swedish musketeers from the conquest system were clearly more like soldiers than the original Swedish musketeers in history, and they lived up to the word 'senior', and as long as the officer ordered a cease-fire, the soldiers could stand quietly and face the enemy at hand!

From the point of view of discipline alone, the Swedish veteran musketeers completely destroyed all the elite units of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, including those trained by the system's lords, and although the loyalty of the system's lords was on par with the Swedish veteran musketeers, the interpretation of discipline was very different.

Before the first shot of the Rostov projection unit could be fired, the rhythm of the landing time was disrupted in this volley, and many of the squad leaders commanded were taken away by a wave of lead bullets......

As a result, the mercenaries of the Rostov projection unit naturally could not continue to follow the unified order to shoot, and in the midst of the wailing, the Rostov projection soldiers roared, cursed, and cried and pulled the trigger and released the bowstring!

The Swedish veteran musketeers suffered their first casualties, and due to the overwhelming numerical superiority of Rostov's projection troops, there were a large number of substitutes behind to pick up the weapons of the dead to replenish them, which caused great losses to the Swedish veteran musketeers.

At this moment, 500 arquebusiers who had already received orders jogged up and supplemented the firepower of the Swedish senior musketeers, but due to the inefficiency of the arquebuses and the discipline of the subjects, they could not follow the example of the Swedish senior musketeers.

If you learn the shooting pattern of the Swedish veteran musketeers, it can only evolve into individual free fire, and the formation is crowded together......

Just like the current Rostov projection troops, after the first round of fires by the crossbowmen and musketeers, the projection troops behind them stepped forward, and the projection troops in front forgot to retreat, and as a result, they were jammed......

The 500 musketeers carried out the standard arquebus wheel-firing mechanism, the front row shot the person behind the person who was responsible for loading, and when the shooter died, the person behind would step forward to take the place of the firing position, and everyone would use the arquebus anyway, without delay at all.

Each firing position has several arquebuses, and two or three arquebuses are reloaded, so that the arquebusier in front always has an arquebus ready to shoot.

As a result, Rostov-on-Don's projection troops and all the infantry musketeers under Shu Zifeng began to fire passionately.

The commander-in-chief of the army in Rostov will soon learn that the course of the war can never be relied upon on paper data.
