Chapter Seventy-One: The First Battle between the Dragon God Sect and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom (Part II)

The forwards of the Taiping Army, who rushed the fastest, were devastated by a salvo of cannons, and they couldn't believe that this was the situation at the beginning.

They did not understand the power of firearms, and had only seen the garbage cannons of the rotten Qing army, the kind that were so short of range that they would blow themselves up at every turn.

But they also know fear. At the beginning, it was bombarded by artillery, and after hundreds of people died, the people behind slowed down the charge, and even hesitated. After seeing the power of the cannon for the first time, I began to understand that flesh and blood seemed to be unable to compete with it......

But at this time, the crowd of the Taiping army resounded with inspiring and incendiary words.

"Brothers, worship God, do you frighten you with such a little difficulty? The Heavenly King, the Heavenly Father, and the Heavenly Brother are all watching us. Come on! Rush towards the clear demon in front of you! The souls of brothers who die in battle can go directly to heaven to enjoy all the glory and wealth. Lucky brethren, you may even have access to the power bestowed by the Heavenly King! Kill the demons! ”

The Taiping Army, which had already begun to gradually show fear, was incited by such words, and the fear and horror in their eyes subsided. Becoming frenzied again, one by one let out a roar similar to that of a beast, and once again brandished the spear and sword in his hand and rushed forward without fear of death.

The face of the officer on the side of the Dragon God Sect changed slightly, but he didn't expect that the deterrence caused by the round of cannon salvo just now to the Taiping Army only lasted for a short time. The other party became fierce and fearless of death again, and even dared to stare directly at the bombardment charge of the cannon with his flesh and blood.

But after thinking about it, it feels normal, if it were in the name of the dragon god, they would probably make the same choice and attack the enemy!

With such a belief and cohesion in the army, it is no wonder that the regular army of the Manchu court was able to beat the regular army of the Manchu court to the ground with very rudimentary weapons. However, now that the Taiping army encountered the army of the Dragon God Sect, which was also brave, and they had much better equipment than the imperial army, there was nothing they could do......

"Gunners prepare! The second round of salvos begins! Try to keep the enemy forces in a long-range way for strike and destruction. ”

The officers of the Dragon God Sect gave the order. So in the loud rumbling sound, the swarthy steel cannons once again spewed out scorching tongues of fire, emitting thick white smoke, and in the roar of the cannonballs, hundreds of Taiping soldiers were killed......

The artillery only had a chance to fire three volleys, and after taking away the Taiping army of more than 1,000 people, the other side had basically rushed to the front. The bombardment of artillery has no effect.

"Prepare the musketeers! Three-stage shooting! ”

The officers of the Dragon God Sect's army decisively gave the order. The soldiers who had already been prepared rushed forward in unison, lined up in three rows.

This three-stage shooting method was as early as the Battle of Humen, and Chen Liansheng, who was responsible for guarding the Dajiao and Shajiao forts, had already let all his subordinates master it. There were many casualties on the British soldiers who landed, and they lasted for a long time. Later, as the power of the Dragon God Sect grew, it naturally became the standard for all troops carrying firearms. And it just so happened that the general soldiers of Yunfu and Maoming had participated in the Battle of Humen, and all of them were simply handy.

Bang bang bang, bang!

After the improvement of the craftsmen of the Dragon God Sect, the range and stability of the musket have improved a lot, and the whistling projectiles bring a muffled sound of flesh being pierced. The Taiping troops who rushed to the front fell like wheat in droves, lying on the ground and wailing uncontrollably—even if they were motivated by religious fanaticism, they could not bear the painful howls after being shot.

Therefore, the three-stage shooting method firmly nailed the offensive front of the Taiping Army dozens of meters away. It was as if a belt of corpses had been formed there!

After continuous rotation, more than 2,000 Taiping troops were taken away. The two armies have not yet really clashed, and they are still quite far apart. The Dragon God Sect wiped out the 3,000 Taiping army at the cost of zero casualties. This is a landslide victory!

But the officers of the Dragon God Sect's army were not too relaxed. Because the other party's style of play, which was obviously filled with human lives, made him feel a little frightened - although the worship of the Dragon God Sect was fanatical, its teachings were generally upward and scientific. Belief in the ability to remain rational is also theoretically to maintain respect for everyone's life. All the sworn battles are not only for the dragon god, but also for the rise and recovery of the Chinese nation.

But the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom obviously did not have such a height and thought, and it was more of a brainwashing model. It's like a master with a sword in his hand, who is a little nervous in the face of a mad dog who doesn't care at all......

After paying nearly 5,000 casualties, the Taiping army finally got the opportunity to engage the Dragon God Sect's army in a short fight. This time the gap is even greater.

Although the armies of Yunfu and Maoming are not the most elite under the command of the Dragon God Sect, they are also above average. In battle, it is natural to form combat squads that cooperate well with each other, and then many combat squads merge into one brigade. Defensive, almost like cutting leeks to eliminate the Taiping army......

The casualty ratio is too striking, even after a hand-to-hand fight; The Dragon God Sect also exchanged a hundred casualties for thousands of people on the Taiping army's side!

This first duel between the Dragon God Sect and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is about to end with the overwhelming advantage of the Dragon God Sect!

But at this time, a mutation suddenly appeared!

A soldier of the Dragon God Sect wearing a camouflage combat uniform had just pierced the heart of a worshipper with a bayonet in his hand to confirm the death of the other party. Under the cover of his comrades, he was just about to turn around and continue to fight, fighting with other enemy troops. Suddenly, I heard an exclamation from my comrades.

"Dogs! Watch out behind you!! ”

He was startled, knowing that there might be a sudden sneak attack. But there are also some doubts, the only enemy soldier who can attack him very close to himself is the enemy soldier who was stabbed through the heart with a bayonet just now?

But the good fighting quality made this Dragon God Sect soldier who was called "Dog Egg" by his comrades-in-arms even if he had doubts in his heart, he could quickly turn to the side, twist his waist and turn around quickly, and stab out with the bayonet in his hand without looking at it......

Then he felt that the bayonet was blocked by something, as if it were the feeling of being held by someone!

His eyes saw the scene behind him clearly, and he was taken aback!!

"How so?! How could the enemy soldier who had been confirmed dead by me piercing the heart just now come back to life?! (To be continued.) )
