"Each firearms team starts shooting as a team!"

The Qing army had already entered the range of the bird's gun, and Lou Jiye, who was in charge of commanding the first bureau, silently counted the steps of the Qing army in accordance with the regulations of the drill code, and when he saw that the Qing army had entered the effective firing range, he ordered the firearms team to start shooting.

The firearms queue was in two staggered rows. The captain and deputy captain live on the left and right of the team, and in wartime, the captain commands, and the deputy captain shoots together, and if the captain is killed or injured and cannot continue to command the battle, then the deputy captain will continue to command the battle.

"Ready!"

After receiving the order, the soldiers of the firearms team immediately opened the fire door cover, and after confirming that the fire rope was still burning, they raised their bird guns and aimed forward.

"Fire!"

After scanning the movements of his firearms crew, the firearms captains immediately gave the order to shoot.

The firearms crew of the first platoon immediately pulled the trigger after receiving the order from the captain. After only hearing the sound of a bird firing, gunpowder smoke gushed out with orange-red firelight, and the lead bullet was also propelled by the gas produced by the combustion of gunpowder to carry a huge kinetic energy in a very small volume to the opposite Qing army's front.

According to the rules of conduct, no one, including the captain of the firearms, is allowed to observe the results of the shooting. After the firearms captains glanced at their own team again, they issued the next order.

"The front row retreats to reload, and the back row steps forward to shoot!"

After receiving the order, the firearms team members in the front row who had completed shooting turned and retreated as they did on a daily basis. At the same time, the firearms team members in the back row stepped forward with bird guns, opened the fire door cover after the captain gave the order to prepare, and then aimed and fired.

At the end of the second row of shooting, the firearms captain glanced at the firearms team members who had just finished shooting, and then further opened his eyes to the firing position of the deputy captain on the far right of the first row, and at the same time confirmed that he had completed loading and returned to the first row, he ordered the front and rear rows to switch positions, and so on.

In this way, the captain gave the order by observing the reloading of the vice-captain, who always fired with the original first platoon. With long-term training, the firearms members of the Nantang Battalion can achieve an average rate of one to two rounds per minute, and the staggered positioning can also ensure that they do not cause unnecessary contact and collision when moving.

As the deputy captain of the firearms team of the Fourth Infantry Team of the First Bureau, Feng Biao hardly had too many command tasks. When the infantry team acts alone, it is commanded by the captain of the Mandarin Duck Array Killer Team, assisted by the captain of the firearms team, and he will only appear as a substitute when the captain of the firearms team is unable to perform the command task, just like when the captain of the Mandarin Duck Array Killer Team is unable to command the battle, the captain with a long card is responsible for commanding.

The third round of shooting was over, and Feng Biao didn't dare to observe the shooting results, so he glanced to the left while waiting for the captain's order to return to the back row. In previous training, out of habit, he would always observe the results after shooting, whether it was live-fire training or normal queue reloading training. For this reason, he has not been less prone to eating leather whips after training, so much so that now he has formed a conditioned reflex.

Back in the second row, Feng Biao began to reload with the rest of the firearms crew. At this moment, under the fire of the Ming army's firearms team, the Qing army still kept advancing, but it was a little slower than before. On the contrary, the regiments located on the two flanks have slowed down their training speed, which is quite a bit of a sense of daunting.

Quickly completing the loading, Feng Biao immediately stepped forward and signaled that he had completed the loading. But at this moment, there was a muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground on the left. glanced to the left, but saw that the captain of Feng Biao's team had fallen to the ground, and a feather arrow was inserted in his chest, and there was no sound.

"The front row shoots with its head down, and the back row retreats to the rear of the formation to reload!"

The rain of arrows of the Qing army had arrived, Feng Biao hurriedly took over the command, only under his order, among the firearms members of the team, those who had completed shooting retreated to the rear of the formation as if relieved, while the reloaded back row stood in place, bowed their heads and defended against the stray arrows with the helmets on their heads.

This is a defensive method specially trained by the Nantang battalion according to the impact of bow and arrow projectiles on the firearms team, and when the arrows of the Qing army have begun to cover the area where the firearms team is located, the captains of each team have shouted like Feng Biao to order the team members to bow their heads in order to resist the damage of the stray arrows.

But even so, the arrows fired by the archers in the back row of the Qing army were still a great threat to these unarmored firearms members. The arrows thrown by the Qing army were like casting a net to catch a fish, and even if most of them could not be hit, or if they were shot on the helmet and bounced off, there would always be arrows that hit the firearms of the Ming army.

Each hit meant wounded or killed, and after the round of shooting, the front row of the firearms team retreated. At the same time, the Mandarin Duck Killer Team behind the firearms team also showed its thin and firm figure from behind the formation.

On the battlefield here, the firearms team of the first bureau of the Nantang Battalion retreated to the rear of the formation, and after the team was reorganized, they scattered to guard the flanks. However, the Qing army they needed to face was in the hands of the Qing army commander Ma San Province, with nearly 800 Qing army green battalions and more than 700 regimental training troops, except for part of the reserves.

The difference in strength from one to seven to eight led to the fact that the Mandarin Duck Array killer team in the first game could only maintain a one-layer line, and this was only possible under the cover of the flanks of the firearms team.

Since the firearms team had retreated to the rear of the formation, there was no longer the suppression of the Ming army's long-range weapons on the battlefield, and the Qing army suddenly accelerated its speed after breathing a sigh of relief, and soon entered the range of throwing javelins, throwing axes and other weapons under the continuous projectile of bows and arrows. Under the officer's order, the sword and shield soldiers of the Qing army immediately threw their throwing weapons towards the battle formation of the Ming army.

It's just that at this moment, the first game of the Nantang camp is still in a state of vertical formation, and most of the throwing weapons of the Qing army are thrown to the left of each mandarin duck formation, and only a small number of them can be thrown to the position of the Ming army, and almost all of them are blocked by the long players and rattan players in the front row. After inflicting only minimal damage, the Qing army began a second round of throwing......

"Dashuai, these Tartars in Jinhua Town are too far worse than the Raising Battalion."

"Well, it's really too far off."

At this moment, Chen Wen did not advance with the first game, and even the flag stood in place and did not come forward. Standing on this platform that could be stacked high, Chen Wen could easily feel that the Qing army's formation far exceeded the thickness of the Ming army. This was something he had expected before, and because of the historical record of Ma Jinbao and the battle in the north of Hengdian Zhenbei that could hardly be called a battle, Chen Wen did not hesitate to choose to break through the Qing army line with infantry in the middle, and he believed that these veterans under his command could do it.

Unlike the Raising Battalion, this Qing army did not accelerate its advance while continuing to suppress with throwing weapons, and it was impossible for it to launch a charge with throwing weapons. At present, this Qing army is in an extremely stable position like a defense tower, only moving one or two meters in front and behind, returning immediately after throwing weapons forward, and then throwing again......

Under the general's flag, Chen Wen and Yin Yue could only vaguely see that the Qing army could only charge forward. But it was precisely this difference that made Chen Wen feel that he had attacked Tiantai with great fanfare before, creating the illusion of participating in the Taizhou chaos; disguised as a bandit again, deliberately deceived the defenders of Dongyang County, and took such a lot of trouble to use the risk, it seems that the level of the Qing army in Jinhua Town was probably overestimated.

"Although the front and rear attacks are incoherent, they should still be stronger than the Shaoxing Green Battalion, at least they still dare to come out to fight."

Chen Wen's sarcasm immediately attracted laughter from several officers around him, including Yin Yue, the last time the Shaoxing Green Battalion was directly scared away by the prisoners from the Tibiao Battalion and Li Rong's general flag, and they didn't even have the desire to fight, and they had been cited as a joke within the Nantang Battalion.

"It's better than the Tartar that was deceived in Hengdian Town a few days ago."

Hearing this, Chen Wen shook his head with a smile. "Vice General Yin, this group of Tartars is already much stronger than the rookies last time, it is not kind for you to insult your opponent like this."

"The last will be convicted."

Yin Yue's smiling confession reined Chen Wen's laughter, and at the same time, the Qing army immediately pounced on the Ming army, which was separated by a distance from each other and was protected by long and rattan cards.

The Qing army stopped fifty paces away to throw their weapons, and then restarted the attack from there, which really made the soldiers of the first game of the Nantang battalion very unaccustomed. The first game of this Nantang battalion was almost entirely composed of veterans, and the first opponent they faced when they came out of the army was the elite of the southern green battalion like the Zhejiang Admiral Biao Battalion, and there was no real battle since.

This time, I encountered such an opponent who was far inferior to the standard battalion even in the attack rhythm, as if I had faced all the national players in the previous game of Go, and suddenly the opponent became a primary school student, and when the primary school student played Go as a backgammon, it was probably like this.

Lou Jiye watched the actions of the Qing army, and suddenly became a little overwhelmed - should he be conservative and change the formation into a junior formation to fight a defensive counterattack, or should he be more radical and take out the junior talent formation to directly break the enemy?

The Qing army is still maintaining the pace of advancement, and Lou Jiye, who has a certain difficulty in choosing, still feels that he should seek stability after thinking for a while. So, after he gave an order, the sixteen mandarin duck array killer teams in the first game of the Nantang camp immediately transformed into a junior talent formation, and put on a posture of receiving the enemy.

The killer team of the Mandarin Duck Formation in the first game of the Nantang Battalion did not face the Qing army after changing formations, but only maintained a defensive counterattack posture and waited for the opponent to meet and break the bloodstream, and the firearms team had also dispersed to the two wings at the moment, ready to shoot after completing the loading.

Due to Tian Xiong's concealment of the battle behind the palace of Siming Mountain, and the number of Jinhua people in the standard camp of Jinhua Town is very small, especially among the officers, there are those Anqing or northerners who came with Ma Jinbao from Anqing, they are extremely unfamiliar with the Mandarin Duck Array, so that at this moment, they are still stunned as when they are fighting with other Ming troops or other armed forces on weekdays.

The junior is centered with long and wisters, with the wolf player on the back and outside of the player's side, the pikeman behind the wolf side and the palladium boring hand in the back row to protect his teammates. This trapezoidal position, always maintaining a variety of weapons on each attack point, and the formation immediately made the green battalion soldiers of the Jinhua Town Standard Battalion fall into the same predicament as the previous Raised Left Battalion.

The wolf is pressed in the array, the long card guards the front of the formation, the rattan card cooperates with the spear to attack and kill, and the boring palladium is responsible for protecting the flank, and the mandarin duck formation of the Nantang battalion has been practiced for a long time, and there is quite a measure between advance and retreat, and the Qing army in Jinhua Town immediately fell into the point of being passively beaten.

If you follow the rhythm of the previous battle behind the Siming Mountain Palace, it won't be long before the infantry of the main formation of the Qing army will collapse. But at this moment, the more than 300 horsemen of the Qing army suddenly moved!
