The left flank of the Tuanshan Army, Gao Yuanliangbu, was a unit that was in close contact with the Qing army, and the musketeers on both sides only fired two volleys before falling into a fierce hand-to-hand combat.

In the previous battle, the Qing army had already learned the power of the bayonet of the Tuanshan army, and they also wanted to learn it, but this small bayonet contained great scientific and technological power.

The bayonet of the Tuanshan Army was fastened to the top of the gun pipe by an iron movable clasp, and the bayonet could also be disassembled, so it was more convenient to carry. There is a very important technical parameter here, that is, the caliber of the gun tube requires that the smaller the error, the better. This is not a problem for the Tuanshan army, but for the Qing army's various firearms, it is almost an impossible task.

Therefore, the Qing army could not use bayonets if they wanted to, so they could only have a machete on their waists -- as the saying goes, if the Qing army was equipped with another cold weapon, the number of other weapons carried would be very small. Yes, thunder in the palm of your hand.

Palm Mine needs a large cotton bag to hold it, and the pockets must be separated by cotton balls, otherwise the collision caused by the fierce movement during the battle is enough to produce a self-explosion.

The Qing army had no choice but to set aside a part of the special "grenadiers" to use the palm mine, and the rest of the soldiers did not carry this weapon.

After installing bayonets on the barrels of the Tuanshan musketeers, in hand-to-hand combat, the length of the weapon was first taken advantage of, and secondly, the mines in the palm of the hand could be used.......

And the most headache for the Qing army is not this, the veterans of the Tuanshan Army have a load-bearing capacity that exceeds that of ordinary soldiers, and they do not use mines in their palms. Instead, he had three or four wheel-rotor guns stuck in his waist. After the improvement of the Tuanshan Fort Workshop, the size of this thing has been greatly reduced. Although it was still only possible to shoot six shots, the number of man-portable shots increased. This means that the lethality has skyrocketed.

It's not just the melee revolver that fires the cold gun, but also the "sniper" that blends in with the crowd. These people used rifled guns, did not fight ordinary soldiers, and specialized in fighting low-ranking officers of the Qing army......

In the previous battle of Songyue Mountain, due to the lack of supplies of the Tuanshan army, the advantage was not as great as it is now. And the hand-to-hand combat under the eyes can be described as extremely fierce, the Qing army obviously felt the huge pressure, and the left wing was already shaking!

If it weren't for Hong Chengchou's reward of "Dasuo January" being too "powerful", it would be impossible for these Qing troops to insist even if they were a lot of white flowers......

This is true for the left, and it is the same for the right!

Pan Batian can kill sexually. has already rolled up his sleeves and acted as a "sniper" by himself. Pan Batian was good at using firearms as early as when he was in the city of Nanjing, and although his official position has risen in recent years, he has not abandoned musket training.

As a senior general of the Tuanshan Army, it is naturally impossible for him to carry a bayonet to fight hard, but leading the guards to release cold guns together is Pan Batian's favorite. At a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, the enemy has no artillery, and Pan Batian is still very confident in his safety!

The Qing army on the left and right flanks was somewhat unable to support it, so they began to move closer to the Chinese army - and the Chinese army. It is Hong Chengchou's biggest trump card in this battle - 3,000 franc mercenaries!

At this moment, the focus of the battlefield is all focused on the confrontation between the Chinese armies on both sides, that is, the battle between the Fudo Battalion and the Franco mercenaries.

These Francoix mercenaries are Swiss mercenaries to be precise, but Hong Chengchou doesn't know what Switzerland or Sweden is. Even England, France, and Prussia have no interest in him, anyway, they spend money to buy their lives and love whomever they love.

From the 13th century onwards it was a neutral Swiss Confederation. In fact, it is one of the most warlike countries in the world and the most militarized in the world. The Swiss mountain people are known in Europe for their bravery and skillful warfare. Swiss mercenaries are also the country's most famous export project.

The Governor of Macau, Ma Shijialu, did not trick him with Spanish sailors or English drunkards. Instead, three thousand brave soldiers were recruited from Switzerland. It's not that Mascolus is sincere, but that Governor Ma doesn't want to make a hammer deal, and he wants to continue to knock on the bamboo pole of "I am Daqing". It's a pity that "I Daqing" now has no surplus food at home, far less powerful than the late Qing Dynasty, and only needs a one-day trip to Tianjin and Nanjing to sign a treaty......

No, Hong Chengchou originally wanted to hire another 7,000 people, but Mashigaru quoted 7 million taels, which immediately scared Taishi Hong away - I have to admit that Taishi Hong was also born at the wrong time, if at the end of the Qing Dynasty, only 7 million taels, it would be so easy!

These 3,000 Swiss mercenaries were also all flintlock muskets, and they were also divided into three tiers, and they took three shots!

"Bang Bang" A fierce shot rang out, and first the immovable battalion of the Tuanshan Army opened fire one hundred and fifty paces away, and immediately many Swiss fell.

However, unlike the Qing army, they were professional soldiers. The pace of the Swiss mercenaries did not stop, they even stepped up!

Fifty paces, just half a pillar of incense, the immovable battalion also entered the range of Swiss mercenaries.

There was another fierce burst of gunfire - "Bang Bang Bang", and the Swiss mercenaries opened fire. This fire, and some soldiers fell in the first column on the front of the immovable battalion.

When the immovable battalion was reloaded, it immediately returned with a more violent salvo -

The Swiss mercenaries were killed in large numbers, but their tactics were three volleys! That's why the gunfire didn't stop in front of them!

The immovable battalion needed to be reloaded, which took about a minute or so, but the Swiss mercenaries used three shots to connect seamlessly, and the gunfire was heard one after another......

Originally, Hong Chengchou saw that the left and right wings could no longer withstand it, and they were all approaching like the Chinese army, and he couldn't help but feel a little hairy in his heart. At this moment, when I saw the situation of the Chinese army fighting, I was overjoyed.

"Hahahaha--our army didn't stop firing, but the mountain army fired a volley and stopped for a long time. If this continues, the Tuanshan army will be defeated! ”

The Qing generals beside Hong Chengchou were not fools, and the situation on the battlefield was clear at a glance - one side continued to fire, while the other side stopped fighting, who do you say wins and who loses?

"Master Hong is wise!"

"Master Hong is mighty!"

"Taishi Hong is strategizing, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away-ah, no......" This sycophant sentence is obviously not in the situation, and the speaker does not know what to continue to say.

Hong Chengchou was in a good mood at the moment, but he didn't care, and laughed: "After this battle, I will also train the army according to the Western Law in the Qing Dynasty!" Study hard, and after destroying the Tuanshan Army, go back to Shenyang to train such an elite soldier for Ben Taishi! ”

The generals nodded yes one by one, and bluntly said that the moon of Westerners is clearer than mine, and then it was a flattery, which made Hong Chengchou inevitably feel more and more complacent...... (To be continued.) )
