"Bang la la blah." At this time, the private army of Wei nobles who heard the order began to advance. They want to get as close to their opponents as possible.

"Look, they're coming towards us. It looks like we're going to go to war for real. "I saw the Wei army advancing on the opposite side. An IRA soldier whispered.

"Leave him alone. When the war starts, I'll run. The Republican soldier on the side said. A considerable number of the Republican soldiers who came here joined the army with the intention of receiving military salaries. They had no affection for the new country, and they had nothing for the nobility, so they had nothing in the first place, so they had no interest in the country, in the first place.

Such people are involved. The combat effectiveness of the Republican Army can be imagined.

"My lord, we should let the shield advance first. And then. Order our archers to follow, fire arrows to protect our shieldmen, and kill and wound the opponent's musketeers. The strategist who was sitting next to him suggested.

"Good. That's it. The nobleman said.

"Shieldman, forward. Archers, subsequently. The strategist said to the generals behind him.

"Whoa." One of the generals agreed to leave, and the order was swiftly delivered.

The battle began instantly.

The Wei army was still advancing slowly. They are still being tempted. However, the first to engage in combat were shield soldiers and archers. The spearmen and halberdiers in the back followed.

On the other side, the Republican Army had a fairly simple formation, they didn't know how to arrange their troops at all, and their commander was just a veteran who had participated in the battle, so he entrusted him with the task of participating in such a tragic battle.

The front of the IRA was very simple. It is simply to spread out the musketeers and the ordinary infantry behind them in a flat line, and the tactical arrangement is that the musketeers shoot and disrupt the opponent's formation. Then launch a charge, rush over in a swarm, and take advantage of the numerical advantage to crush the opponent. The tactics are very simple, because, if it is too complicated, if it is too complicated to arrange more than 4,000 people without any military training, the whole tactic cannot be completed, so the veteran is still reasonable, but I don't know how strong the combat effectiveness is.

"Throw such a group of people who have no military training into battle. It's nothing short of a disaster. The commander said. He was not in the slightest interested in winning such a battle.

"Stop." At this time, the Wei army stopped advancing. And the phalanx of shields and archers in front was ordered to move on. They left the formation alone as strikers.

"Whoa." The shieldmen with heavy shields slowly approached each other with heavy steps. The combat distance between the two sides was three hundred paces. They need to walk these three hundred steps to get close to each other's combat distance.

"It's not good, the other side sent shield soldiers and archers, and they seem to want to kill and wound our people before fighting us." The chief of staff of the commander on the side whispered.

"Do we have a solution?" The commander asked.

"This." The chief of staff could not answer.

"We don't have anything. How to fight. The commander asked.

"We don't have artillery, if we have cannons, we can stop it, however, we don't have anything. We only have infantry, a bunch of infantry who can't do anything, and I really don't know if we will win such a battle. The commander said with some frustration.

"But we also have to do something?" The chief of staff on the side said.

"What do we have and what can we do? Nothing can be done. Wait. The commander said negatively. In this regard, the chief of staff was helpless, he did not know what to do, they only had infantry in their hands, and they themselves did not know what these infantry could do. If he let the infantry shoot forward, he really didn't know if those soldiers would have the courage to go on like this.

"Forward." Wei's private vanguard was still slowly approaching them. The Republican soldiers, on the other hand, remained motionless.

"Shall we stay like this?" An IRA asked.

"I don't know, as soon as the battle began, we ran." A soldier whispered.

For a moment, the battle fell into a kind of silent confrontation. Both sides are quietly waiting for the moment of contact.

"Knock knock." The drums of war of the Wei army were beating incessantly. The Wei army was constantly approaching the republican army. And the soldiers on both sides repeatedly heard nothing in their hearts. They waited for the moment when the battle began.

"You say, this war, will we win?" The nobleman asked his advisor.

"We will win, although they have muskets, but they are a bunch of lowly slaves who can't fight, they are not our opponents." The advisor said.

"That's a good point." The nobleman nodded.

"We're going to beat them up, or they'll know nothing." The nobleman said.

"Yes." The advisor said.

In the free time between the nobles and the strategists, the shield soldiers and archers of the Wei army had reached a position of one hundred and fifty paces, which was exactly the distance of the archers' attack.

"Order our archers, release the arrows." The nobleman commanded loudly at this time.

"Whoa, whoa." A flag bearer in the back waved a flag.

"Archers stop." In the midst of the phalanx of archers, a man who looked like an officer shouted loudly.

"Whoa." At this time, the archers stopped advancing.

"Ready." The officer shouted loudly.

"Whoa." The archers took out their arrows and placed them on the bowstrings. They used all their arm strength to pull their bows and arrows, and then pointed them at an angle in the direction of the Republican Army.

"Put." The archer needs good arm strength to release the arrow, and if the bow is not released for a long time, it will lead to poor accuracy and physical recovery. As a result, the archer had only one shot. They don't let the archers stay in this position for long. That's a disservice for them.

"Whoa." The released arrow flew out at once.

"Whoosh." The bow and arrow soon crossed a beautiful curve in the sky and fell towards the Republican army. However, most of the arrows fell in front of the Republican Army, and only a small part fell in the Republican Army. But for the Republican Army, they suffered losses.

"Ahh "Ahh "Poof." The arrows kept hitting the musketeers who were waiting to shoot. The musketeers continued to fall with arrows. Many soldiers had arrows stuck in their bodies, shouted loudly, and kept rolling on the ground, which seriously affected the combat mood of other soldiers.

"Order the men to carry away the soldiers who were shot." The commander said.

"Put." The officer again brandished his short sword and ordered the archers to fire their arrows.

"Whoosh." The archer unleashes his bow again. This time, the weakness of the bow and arrow was slightly closer to the position of the Republican Army, and there were many more Republican soldiers who fell from the arrow. But there was still no large-scale rout among the Republican soldiers. They were still standing still.

"Don't move. Standing, we're just going to shoot. will be won. The officer shouted incessantly through the crowd. And constantly people fall from arrows, and the infantry behind will carry away the wounded. Their wails can have a serious impact on morale.

There were not many archers in the Wei army, only more than three hundred, and their shooting skills were not in place, so archers needed a certain amount of training. It is difficult for an improvised patchwork archer to hit the opposing formation. Because. The distance is far, and there are more things to consider. Wind direction can seriously affect the stability of archery.

The Wei archers did not do much harm to the republican army. But it's not small. Many of the soldiers fell from their arrows, which made many musketeers realize. This is the real war. The splash of blood made them feel the cruelty of war for the first time in their hearts.

"Whoa." The shield soldiers of the Wei army, who continued to advance, were only fifty paces away from the republican army at this time. The combat distance between the two sides is already relatively close.

"Shoot." The commander gave the order at this time.

"Whoa." An IRA soldier waves a flag in his hand.

"Isn't it too early to shoot." At this time, the chief of staff on the side asked loudly.

"Let's shoot, it's not too early." The commander said.

"Or shoot within thirty paces so we can kill more people." The chief of staff suggested.

"Fifty steps, and someone will fall." The commander said.

"Let those lads, shoot more. Shoot it. It will be good for them. The commander said.

"Well, it's not good." The chief of staff objected.

"The war has begun." The commander said directly.

"Raise your gun." At this time, the officers of the Republican army had already begun to shout loudly.

"Whoa." The musketeers lined up in three and four rows, and they raised their muskets in a dense row.

"Aim." The officer shouted again.

"Whoa." All the soldiers obeyed the order and opened the fire door.

"Put." The officer shouted loudly.

"Bang bang." There was a thunderous sound of lightning. The musketeers fired intensively at the approaching shieldmen.

"Bang. Bang. "Some bullets hit the shield and sparks.

"Poof. Burst. "Some of the bullets grazed the gaps and edges of the shields and hit the Wei soldiers, some of whom were killed. Or he was hit by a bullet and fell to the ground.

"Ahh When the soldier who had been shot fell to the ground, he wailed loudly. And the soldiers in the back continued to maintain formation and advanced. Those who fall will not be rescued.

"Reload your bullets." The officer shouted loudly at this time.

"Whoa." At one time, the musketeers, all of whom were shooting, began to reload their ammunition. Many of them are not proficient in how to reload bullets quickly. It's a big test.
