Chapter 471: Platoon Guns

I saw the soldiers of the immovable battalion standing in three rows and slowly advancing towards the center of the battlefield, each soldier with a rifled gun in his hand and a bright bayonet on the muzzle.

The speed of their march was not fast, but the formation was exceptionally neat, and even the pace was surprisingly consistent, and it was clear that it was only through arduous training that such an effect could be achieved. In this era, many ordinary soldiers couldn't even distinguish between left and right when they first joined the army, but it was not easy for the immovable battalion to have such a neat military appearance.

At the same time, another unit that had never been used since the beginning of the war also joined the battle - it was none other than Chaolu's cavalry. The cavalry of the 5,000 regiments of the mountain army was divided into two equal parts, and each of the 2,500 cavalry appeared behind the left and right flanks of the immovable battalion, leaving enough distance for the horses to speed up, and then they followed in a hurry...... The cavalry of the Tuanshan Army did not charge at all, but only played the role of protecting the two wings of the immovable battalion.

Dolgon was stunned behind the battle, and the surprise in his heart can be imagined: the Tuanshan army turned out to be cavalry covering infantry, what kind of routine is this? This is a tactic that has never been seen before!

When the immovable battalion marched slowly and advanced to the battlefield, the Tartars, who had been killing happily, were also blindfolded, and for a while they did not know how to deal with these musketeers who were walking in a neat pace and covered by a large number of cavalry behind them.

At this time, the front was in a bitter battle, and all the officers and men of the Tuanshan Army, who were about to be unable to support it, retreated to the two wings of the immovable camp as quickly as possible, and no one dared to appear in the front of the immovable battalion.

Soon, when the front of the camp was full of Tartar infantry, and the distance was one hundred and fifty paces, the musketeers of the camp began to shoot.

"Papa-" After a volley, a large number of people fell in front of the Tartars.

One hundred and fifty paces, a distance beyond the effective range of the Tartar flintlock pistols - for they could only shoot a hundred. And the effective killing is only sixty or seventy steps!

Firing at a distance of one hundred and fifty paces is a complete one-sided slaughter for the Tartar musketeers!

After the first volley, the immovable battalion stopped and reloaded on the spot, and all the two thousand soldiers were like one man. It's so uniform.

They quickly completed the process of loading their ammunition, and then walked slowly forward with neat steps.

When any enemy within a hundred and fifty paces of the camp appears in front of the camp, they stop and fire a salvo, then reload their ammunition on the spot and move on!

On the front of the immovable battalion, not a single Tartar could stand! There were the brave Jurchen heavy infantry who tried to approach while the camp was reloading, but the soldiers of the camp were reloading quickly, and the Tartars had not yet rushed to the front. And another volley was fired, and their lives were harvested.

After all, there were very few people on the Tartar side who charged quickly and came to the close range of the immovable camp, but there were very few of them after all, and all of them were killed by bayonets.

The camp was not completely free of casualties, and there was a small group of brave Jurchen Tartars who estimated that they were hunters in the past, so their running speed was really amazing. As soon as they got closer, they drew their broadswords from their waists and began to slash at the soldiers of the immovable battalion.

Several of the soldiers of the immovable battalion were cut down to the ground by them. However, the Tartars did not stay complacent for long, and to their despair, the rest of the soldiers of the Immovable Battalion seemed to have not been affected at all. Immediately a few soldiers were added from the rear - and at last all the Tartars were all killed by the bright bayonets.

After doing this several times, the Tartars no longer dared to charge, and tens of thousands of people on the entire battlefield could not stand on their feet. Of course, the Tartars are not stupid, and there are those who want to outflank them from the flanks of the immovable camp. However, the two wings of the Fudo Battalion were also a large number of ordinary infantry of the Tuanshan Army, and even the five thousand cavalry of Chaolu had been following the Fudo Battalion and slowly moving forward.

The entire 2,000 soldiers of the immovable battalion were like a whole. No, it should be said that like a bulldozer, it was pushed flat towards the Tartar line, and there was nothing to hinder their progress along the way.

One hundred and fifty paces, at this distance the flintlock pistols of the Tartars and the mines in the palms were completely ineffective. Able to fight against the immovable battalion. There are only the arrows of the white tooth soldiers.

Sure enough, the white-toothed soldiers who had a batch of four-layer armor immediately came up and began to shoot at the immovable battalion!

Although the Camp used rifled guns and minni rounds, no matter how well trained, it took about a minute to complete a reload, and in a minute the Tartars could shoot three feathered arrows

This looks very good, and it is very beneficial to the white tooth soldiers!

However, the actual situation was completely unexpected by Dolgon, who was watching from behind, and by all the Tartars! Although the rate of fire of the White Swing Tooth Lama was three times that of the immovable battalion, they had previously concealed behind the ordinary Jurchen infantry and fired cold arrows, and they had no formation to speak of. This will hula come out to shoot, first of all, the formation is very poor. It was often the white swing teeth who shot down some of the soldiers of the immovable battalion, but the soldiers at the back of the three rows of the immovable battalion immediately replenished it, and then returned with a volley.

After doing this three times, the White Tooth Soldier sadly discovered that it was useless to shoot the musketeers who were walking slowly on the opposite side! Because they were not at all flustered, someone immediately replenished it, and then responded with a more violent projectile.

Originally, the white tooth soldiers wore four layers of armor, especially the three layers of cotton armor outside, which was very good for the defense of the projectile, although it was not as good as the body armor of later generations, but it was not easy to shoot through. But the bullets fired by the immovable battalion seem to have some kind of magic power, as long as the white tooth soldiers are shot, they will immediately lose their combat effectiveness, and the three layers of cotton armor are like paper paste!

The white tooth soldiers said that they were not afraid of death and were extremely fierce, but in fact, a big reason was that the layers of armor on their bodies brought them infinite confidence. Now, this armor like a talisman has no defense at all, and this blow to the confidence of the white tooth soldiers can be described as fatal!

When the first White Tooth Soldier on the battlefield threw away his bow and arrows, spread his legs and fled backwards, all the White Tooth Soldiers began to flee in unison as if they were infected with the plague at the same time!

It was only at this time that Zhang Li, who was watching the battle at the temporary command place, breathed a sigh of relief, and calmly said to Li Dingguo beside him: "In this battle, the Tartars have lost. ”

Lined up to shoot, this is the way the immovable battalion operates.

This is the way of fighting that most relies on the will of the warrior, each warrior faces the test of death directly, and it is impossible to leave the queue to survive alone, and all individual heroism has no market here.

Zhang Zhang knows that from now on there will be an era without combat heroes, but the Tuanshan Army has already stepped into the category of modern armies with one foot! (To be continued.) )
