Chapter 358: Careless Hand-to-hand combat

After saying this, the atmosphere below was already stirred, and after a pause, the soldiers of the 5th Battalion of the Revolution outside the city rushed out with shouts.

In the Jiaozhou battalion, the salary and treatment of the musketeers are generally one and a half times or two times that of the spearmen, in addition to the firecrackers are the soldiers with higher technical requirements, they are also the soldiers who participate in the hand-to-hand combat, and the firecrackers are the highest quality soldiers in the Jiaozhou battalion.

In the small roads in the northwest direction of the battlefield, there were already firecrackers who dropped their firearms in their hands, blocked the side of the path with large shields and stabbing swords, and behind them were layers of spearmen, slightly raised with earth in the gap of the array, and the firecrackers stayed on them, holding the firearms with wooden forks and preparing to shoot.

The officers and men near the river could feel the scorching heat of the burning boats in the river, not to mention the smoke and dust, and many of them were choking and coughing.

Looking at the depths of these paths, the figures of He Yilong's subordinates finally appeared, but it was not a group of individual soldiers, the first column was pushing the cart forward, which happened to cover the soldiers behind.

The ships of the Huaiyang army on the river are naturally inseparable from the soldiers holding thick bamboo poles against the fire boats, but this time they have also prepared in advance, each ship has four or five thick bamboo poles in the bow, the front is covered with iron, and it is half fixed in the bow, and these warships and boats are anchored in the water, which is equivalent to stabilizing there.

The fireboat went down the river, that is, it crashed into this kind of bamboo pole, and the firewood and grass on those wooden boats were originally poured with oil, and they burned very quickly, as long as they were blocked, they would burn and sink after a while.

However, the main significance of the fireboat that He Yilong put down upstream was not to attack the ships of the officers and soldiers, because the weather was not very windy, and the thick smoke that burned was filled, which already affected the mood of the officers and soldiers very much.

Chen Liu's eyes were already flowing with tears. Seeing the cart gradually approaching, he knew that there must be some problems with his own arrangement, and shouted loudly:

"Adjust the gun. Smashed the cart to ......"

The shouting of killing at the east gate of Yingshang City was already loud, and the officers in front had already sent someone to deliver a message, and shouted:

"Lord Chen. This thief is rushing again!! ”

The thieves are outlaws, though. But after suffering so much. It was even possible to organize a second attack. It's really not conventional. This time, the 5th Battalion of the Left Wing fought with officers and soldiers. Indeed, the earth has made up its mind. Prepare to fight to the death regardless of losses this time.

Officers and non-commissioned officers on all fronts of the Huaiyang Army shouted at the top of their voices. Stabilize the formation. Resist the opponent's second attack. The enemy is vicious. However, the Huaiyang soldiers were not afraid. Because the battle has proven that even such a ferocious attack can withstand the ground.

The key is to flank the ground in a northwesterly direction. If the enemy rushes in from this direction. Then everything is over. In this direction. The Huaiyang army's ground firearms and tactics were not fully wielded at all. Let alone. There was also smoke billowing from the river. Affects line of sight.

He Yilong's team pushed over, and the big shield in front of the cart was hung with sandbags. The path itself is narrow. There was such a cart pushing in front. The soldiers of the camp were all shrunk back. Instead, there were people with muskets and bows and arrows that kept probing from behind the carts. Look at how far it is from the ground line of the officers and soldiers.

Chen Liu stood on the high platform. It is also very irritating by this smoke. This leather left five camp arrangement. actually let the Huaiyang army suffer enemies everywhere at this moment. This is also helpless. After all, the Huaiyang army took the route of elite soldiers. Moreover, there is a great reliance on firearms. The fifth battalion of the left is here, although there are only three battalions. But the number of people is also far superior to that of the Huaiyang army.

He wiped his tears and cried out loudly:

"The musketeers in the rear took their swords and shields and prepared to take them. Be on guard on the shore. Don't move the artillery, it's still against Yingshang City!! ”

"The first row doesn't move. The back row continues to move forward, leaning closer, leaning closer!! ”

The officers on the road in the northwest gave a loud order, watching the opponent's cart gradually approach, and they could only avoid the opponent's tactics from scattering their own side first.

The cart entered the firing range, and the musketeers standing high on both sides of the intersection had already begun to fire, but the castrated muskets hit the sandbags at most to open a hole, but there was no damage.

The formation cannot be chaotic, although this brings combat effectiveness and prestige to the soldiers and horses of the Jiaozhou battalion system, but it is also a loss of opportunity here.

I could only watch as the other party pushed the carts forward, and behind the carts on each road were the firearms and archers of the 5th camp of the Levant Battalion, which gradually came into their range.

The archers of the fifth camp of Gezuo still have an elevation angle to shoot, and the soldiers with firearms do not dare to show their heads, and the fast guns and bird guns in their hands are not as powerful and accurate as the opponent's heavy smoothbore guns, but the bows and arrows have already caused trouble to the spearmen of the Huaiyang army.

But across a cart, it was a backshot, this power was just like that, and it was pushed forward a few steps, but it stopped moving, and when it was pushing, there were no bows or arrows or firebolts to hit, and it was obvious that the formation and team were adjusted, and the Huaiyang arms guns on both sides of the crossing were still fired in turn.

But this space is too small, the firecrackers are heavy, and it is inconvenient to rotate, when there are still more than a dozen steps or so away, the firecrackers hit the shield of the car, at most it is to stir up smoke and dust, but because the distance is relatively close, from the angle it can already hit the homeless soldiers behind, and began to cause killing, but this distance is close enough.

Behind the roam, I could hear the soldiers shouting in unison, and the movement of the rook suddenly accelerated a lot, and it collided with the front line of officers and soldiers.

The soldiers with shields and swords felt bad about the huge oars that they could not collide with each other face to face, but there were more than ten people pushing them there, and there were heavy oars to increase the impulse.

Almost a knee-jerk reaction, the soldiers with swords and shields rolled to both sides, a few intersections, and took the fast-reacting officers and non-commissioned officers shouted orders:

"Spear flat!!"

The spears of the soldiers in the first few rows were immediately flat, and the more than a dozen spears were immediately flat fingers, and they collided with the cart, and the spearmen in the first row had some huge momentum on the opposite side, and felt that the body could not control the balance and fell directly to the back, but the rows were closely together, and the people behind them blocked and couldn't fall down at all.

The spear line at the intersection was a few steps back, but it still held on.

But there were also soldiers with swords and shields in front of two intersections who rolled to both sides, and the spearmen behind didn't have time to flatten down, and were directly hit by the cart, and the already incomplete spearmen formation suddenly collapsed.

As soon as the cart rushed in, the homeless soldiers who followed followed followed, these were the elite of Ge Li Yanhe Yilong, dressed shortly, wearing straw sandals on his feet, holding knives and axes in his hands, rushing in was slashing.

The only attack that the scattered spearmen could do so far was to whip them with their spear shafts, but they took advantage of them and were immediately cut to the ground.

The spearmen of the Jiaozhou battalion were wearing short knives and bayonets according to the discipline, but this time the light soldiers rushed forward and asked for three days of dry food, as far as possible without superfluous things, and as a result, some spearmen did not take this second weapon as clever as possible, which is also the reason why the spearmen basically did not suffer losses in battle. Let these soldiers of the Huaiyang Army be a little careless, but at this time, the short soldiers are in contact, and the spears in their hands are not in formation, how can they withstand the hand-to-hand combat of those homeless soldiers.

What's even more troublesome is that several other intersections rushed in, but the intersections that had been blocked were attacked from several directions, and they could only retreat, and Ge Li Yanhe Yilong's soldiers and horses began to rush into the front line of the Huaiyang army.

The sky was filled with thick smoke, and the sound of killing behind him shook the sky, but it was the first time for the firecrackers behind the low wall to pass through such a scene, and they were a little flustered, and the effect of this shooting was much worse.

Chen Liu stood on the high platform, his eyes were stinging and tearful, but he was still desperately staring at the battle around him, his face was already iron-blue, who would have thought that he would suffer such a big loss when he was arranged everywhere.

The following generals were all a little anxious, and one of them shouted:

"Lord Chen, there are still a few battalions on the ship, transfer them down and fight!!"

"Transfer your grandma, in such a big place, what soldiers and horses can move, tell the low wall, they are just to take care of the thieves on the other side for me, and they don't have to worry about the rest, if you mess up, the military law is ruthless, the pro-soldier team, follow Lao Tzu!!"

The northwest direction was fighting fiercely, but it was still stalemate, and the pro-soldiers hurriedly went to the front to give the order, Chen Liu untied his big sword, picked up a broad-bladed axe in his hand, and prepared to enter the battle with the pro-soldier team.

The pro-soldier teams of various armies and Li Meng's pro-military battalions, the training of these soldiers is the training of short weapons and hand-to-hand combat, and this kind of short-range combat is indeed the most suitable for them.

Update it, one step at a time, Lao Bai changed the rhythm, but he was so tired
