Chapter 290: The Battle for Saltpeter (4)

After being close to Qingguo's 100-strong soldiers, the advantage of the musket seemed to be reduced to a minimum. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 However, Chu Hui had long thought about how to maintain his combat effectiveness in this situation.

Xu Tianyong gave an order, and all the brothers of the Sichuan Zi Army loaded a bright bayonet on their guns.

This bayonet is made by the bureau, and the craftsmanship used is far beyond the level of this world. What's more, the weapons in the hands of Qingguo soldiers are not the highest level in this world.

After the bayonets were loaded with muskets, the Sichuan soldiers spread out in a semicircle, surrounding the Qing soldiers who rushed over.

While some of them relied on the power of their bayonets to resist the Qingguo soldiers head-on, the other part did not sit idle, raising their guns and firing continuously.

After all, the deterrent power of bullets is much greater than that of a blade, and under the threat of bullets, the attack of Qingguo soldiers is a little powerless. They fought and retreated, and by this time the soldiers on the left and right flanks of the Sichuan Army had dispersed far enough that it was extremely difficult for them to divide their forces to attack both flanks.

At this time, even Fu Renjian was at a loss, he knew that he was defeated under the black pipe in the hands of Chen Guo's soldiers.

This is the second time he has seen the role of this easy-to-operate weapon on the battlefield, and this time he also felt thrilling.

He couldn't help but think that if every soldier in Chen Guo had such a black pipe in his hands, not to mention Qingguo, even if the old overlord Daheng came, would he be able to get benefits?

If Qingguo has this kind of sharp weapon, not to mention the small Chen Guo, even if he defeats the entire Daheng, the chances of winning will be greatly increased!

Gunpowder! He knew from the familiar sound of the shot that it was also the majesty of gunpowder.

Fu Renjian didn't want to fight anymore, one was that even if the Qing army won, it wouldn't be able to take advantage, and the enemy's reinforcements would come soon; Second, he urgently wanted to tell Liu Tingfeng, a veteran, the importance of gunpowder, even if Liu Tingfeng now attaches great importance to gunpowder, he still feels that it is not enough, and he must be exhausted, and even put all his energy on gunpowder!

He could clearly see that Chen Guo's soldiers were floating in their footsteps, and although they were skillful in their movements, they still revealed imperfections in the run-in.

This group of soldiers is very likely to be recruits, and a group of recruits, with the majesty of gunpowder, or under the condition of being calculated by themselves, can actually deal with the veterans of a hundred battles under their own hands, and they are still faintly in an advantageous position.

Such a shocking thing happened in front of him, fortunately, a young man like Fu Renjian saw it with his own eyes, if he was exchanged for a veteran who had fought all his life, he would not believe anything.

Maybe he'll be an old stubborn, with an unbelievable view of the efficacy of gunpowder.

After retreating, Fu Renjian did not order the soldiers to retreat, but let them continue to rush and kill before.

The soldiers on both sides seemed to have become live targets at this moment, and even if the more than 20 archers with the army were trying to shoot arrows to cover, the enemy's firepower was still full. Soldiers on both sides continued to fall, and if it weren't for Fu Ren's order to all the soldiers to melee among the Chen Guo soldiers, the casualties might have been even greater.

With experience, Fu Ren did not give wrong orders.

His correct orders apparently allowed his soldiers to survive a few more. Although the enemy has also been defeated by himself and others, if he continues to fight according to the situation just now, it is very likely that the final loser will still be Qingguo's side.

After throwing away more than a dozen lives as a price, Qingguo's soldiers, who intended to infiltrate Chen Guo's side, finally escaped.

After they fled, the battle was over.

Although the Sichuan army successfully defeated the Qingguo people with similar numbers, no one could laugh when they looked at the corpses of their compatriots all over the ground.

Xu Tianyong knelt on the ground, tears streaming out of his eyes.

This was the victory of the Sichuan Army, and it was also the biggest defeat in the history of the Sichuan Army.

Looking at the bloodstained ground, Xu Tianyong cried out, and Tie Han also had tenderness, although his tears at this time were all grief and indignation.

"Brothers, I can't stop you! After I drive the people of Qingguo out of Chen, I will give you an account with my life. ”

I want to thank the people of Qingguo for being alive, they are ugly, so that this good man did not choose the wrong path.

As the sun sets, Chen Guochuan is in the temporary residence of the word camp.

Chen Baichuan looked at Xu Tianyong, who was kneeling in front of him, and couldn't say a word of reproach.

This guy has already tortured himself to the point that he has no personal appearance, how can Chen Baichuan be so ruthless that he will blame him again. After all, he was not the only one who had died with so many brothers who were sad.

This time, the losses of the Sichuan army were unprecedentedly huge.

The Sichuan army led by his subordinates accounted for only one-third, that is, more than 1,000 people.

This time, the casualties were almost one-twentieth.

In other words, the power in his hands, as long as there is another casualty of the same scale, will be weakened by one layer.

However, after the previous investigation and the reports of the soldiers present, Chen Baichuan already had a deep understanding of the situation this time.

The casualties of the Sichuan army this time were not unjust.

Because the advantage of the musket has been greatly diminished by the approach of the enemy pretending to be from the same camp. And the flaws of the unstable foundation were also revealed in this battle, most of the Sichuan army was on the battlefield for the first time, and after facing the hand-to-hand combat that was obviously elite on the opposite side, it was Chu Hui's teaching that did not collapse at the first time.

This time, the performance of the Sichuan Zijun is still very good.

"Xu Tianyong, get up." Master Chen smiled bitterly and looked at the people in the tent who kowtowed and couldn't kneel, "I can't blame you this time, but there is only so little left of your mining team." I'm not going to give you more people, can you accept that? ”

Xu Tianyong had the idea of revenge in his heart, and he didn't want to go down like this, he resolutely said: "The last general thanks the great kindness of the adults, the revenge of the brothers under him, naturally I want to take revenge with my own hands, before driving out all the thieves in Qingguo and killing them, I am willing to go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire to serve the adults." ”

Chen Baichuan also knows about this Xu Tianyong, and knows that he is not a person who can only talk about the scene, since these words are spoken, he will try his best to complete them.

"Well, you go down." After hearing his oath, Chen Baichuan nodded and asked him to retire first.

He needed to be quiet tonight, and he needed to try to construct a method in his mind if he encountered this enemy again.

The Sichuan army faced the huge number of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, and if it could not be able to fight with one as ten, it would be impossible to reach the end.
