Maybe it's because there are too many people, and the people behind can't see the tragedy ahead; Or maybe it's because the bullets are too small and inconspicuous, although they pass by their ears with a "chirp" sound from time to time, but these invisible deaths are not as good as the bright sword...... For other reasons, the main force of the Houjin Army, which did not seem to be very reliable, did not collapse halfway as Xiao Lang expected, but maintained its forward momentum in the continuous gunfire.

Of course, human will is no match for nature, and although those white-armored elite soldiers who pressed the formation could barely control the direction of the Han army's advance with ruthless and bloody killing, forcing them to attack the short-haired position with increasing firepower. But after all, it is impossible for those people to walk slowly forward with bullets in a neat queue like the Western armies in the era of "lining up to shoot" era.

The strings that were too tight broke quickly, so it wasn't long before the army was in complete frenzy as the first man let out a wolf-like howl and began to gallop forward in spite of a single qiē. Everyone rushed wildly—mostly in the direction of Joan's naval position.

On the hillside, Xiao Lang didn't panic when he saw this scene, but couldn't help but chuckle. Although the other party did not collapse and escape, this early outbreak was not much different from what he hoped - you must know that when these people started running, they were still five or six hundred meters away from this side of the defense line! After more than a mile, they began to run wildly, and it was a question whether their bodies could run this distance, and they still wanted to cut people?

Of course, these people had an advantage over the previous batch of white-armored soldiers - they did not have too thick armor, and the burden was lighter than the previous elite soldiers. And after discovering that the armor helmet could not stop the green-skinned bullets on the opposite side at all, some people simply stripped all the things that were in the way on their bodies, dragged a braid, carried a knife, and rushed forward shirtless.

The scene of thousands of people charging at the same time was spectacular, and it was by no means comparable to any war movie that Xiao Lang had seen before. But Xiao Lang is certainly not in the mood to enjoy blockbusters at the moment. Although intellectually he knew very well that most of these people's bodies would not last long, he saw so many people rushing towards him regardless of a single qiē, all with red eyes and wanted to cut off their heads. It still made Xiao Lang, who had never experienced a major war since the Battle of Lingao, tremble.

――Maybe you're too aggressive?

Such a thought only flashed through him, when Xiao Lang's gaze turned to the soldiers around him. only to find that they were far calmer than they were. Do whatever you have to do, and you won't be moved by the momentum of the other side. If you think about it carefully, this third regiment has fought against tens of thousands of rebels in Dengzhou, and it can be called the unit with the most experience in actual combat in the Qiong navy, and they are even more experienced than themselves in this kind of "big scene".

As a commander, he definitely can't show his unbearable face in front of his subordinates, so Xiao Lang sat down again after standing up for a while. Pose as if you are not surprised. It's just that the telescope in his hand is always held in front of him, carefully watching the movements of the Houjin cavalry.

The cavalry was also very experienced veterans, and was not in a hurry because of the madness of the infantry. A few of them weren't even on their horses yet, but were just leading their mounts. Standing there unhurriedly, apparently calculating the best time to strike.

After a while, the cavalry seemed to feel that the time had come, and finally mounted their horses one after another, and pressed towards the side of the position in a very open and dispersed formation. At first they didn't move too fast. It even seemed a little lazy, but as the pace of the horses gradually increased, the power of the cavalry charge gradually began to appear. Although there were only about 200 cavalry, their momentum seemed to surpass the thousands of infantry in front. Moreover, at this time, they had not yet raised their speed to the maximum - even cavalry could not charge at full speed from a distance of more than a thousand meters, and experienced riders would try to control the distance as much as possible. Reach maximum speed when approaching the target. In this way, the body of the war horse can be saved, and its ability to continue fighting will be stronger.

It's just that the Qiong Navy will not give them the opportunity to adjust so calmly, those cavalry have just attacked not long ago, and there are still seven or eight hundred meters away from this position, only to hear the sound of a gunshot, a knight fell off his horse upside down - the troops sent by Xiao Lang to stop them were led by the sharpshooter Ah Shui himself, his rifle barrel and ammunition are specially matched, and he can hit a human-sized target at a distance of 800 meters, and he has a greater grasp of dealing with cavalry.

After a shot was fired, Ah Shui did not care about the subsequent loading, but casually handed the rifle to the assistant beside him, and at the same time took another loaded gun from the assistant, and continued to aim and fire in a hurry.

In such a succession, every shot must be accompanied by the fall of a cavalryman, although only Ah Shui's firepower is in force for the time being, it is enough to make those Houjin cavalry frightened. Involuntarily, they sped up. In the process, they naturally tried their best to dodge the bullets, hiding in stirrups, swaying from side to side, and other tricks, but this had no effect on the Joan Navy - people don't care what kind of tricks you play, and it doesn't matter if you can't hit people and horses, anyway, a buckshot hit even a high-headed horse will fall.

As the distance approached, more and more archers joined the attack sequence, and naturally more and more cavalry fell, and the remaining people all kicked the horse's belly, and could no longer care about keeping the horse's body, and all of them increased their speed to the extreme, hoping to rush to the front of those hateful green-skinned soldiers immediately, so as to vent their anger - this feeling of being beaten but not fighting back is really depressing!

And Xiao Lang observed for a moment with the binoculars, and was sure that the other party had nothing to do, so he picked up his rifle and greeted the last reservists around him:

"Brothers, follow me!"

Then he rushed down the hill with them, went to assist Ah Shui, and went to talk to the leader of the Houjin army, no matter who he was, anyway, to have a good "exchange" face to face.

…………

The battle has finally entered the final moment.

So far, both sides have taken out all the hole cards, and there is no strategy or tactics to talk about, just try their best to fight to the death with each other, and whoever can reach the end will win.

On the frontal battlefield, the gunfire is not as dense as it was at the beginning. The battle didn't last too long, but the intensity of the battle was unprecedented—both for the Later Jin Army and the Qiong Navy itself. Needless to say, the Houjin army has always been fighting against their opponents since Nurhachi raised their troops, so how could they have encountered this kind of war mode in which most of the casualties were lost before they met the opponent? As for the Qiong Navy, even if the 3rd Regiment had the experience of counterinsurgency in Dengzhou, it also had the experience of defeating tens of thousands of enemy troops head-on. But without artillery support, they encountered such a stubborn opponent, but it also greatly exceeded their expectations.

After a long period of fierce fighting, various problems began to emerge - such as the problem of smoke, although the troops had taken this aspect into account as much as possible when laying out the defensive line, but after a long battle, a large amount of smoke still gathered, not to mention the choking, and even more strictly affected the observation and aiming of the soldiers. On the other hand, after a long period of continuous high-intensity work, even the Qionghai rifle, which is known for its durability, began to increase sharply in its firearm failure rate. Some of them are due to the soldier's operational error, and the accident of ignoring the blow up of the gun chamber or dipping it in water to cool down the barrel is neglected. Others are due to metal material problems, such as the deformation of the barrel, which makes the rifle no longer able to fire smoothly, and even if it can be fired, the trajectory can no longer remain as stable as before.

The trouble caused by these failures was further magnified by the numerical disadvantage of the Joan navy, with only one gun per soldier, no spare weapons except bayonets, and a point of fire would be lost if damaged. There are only more than 400 people in total, and one less firepower point can weaken the enemy's blow by one point. So far, dozens of rifles have been muted. The intensity of fire has been greatly weakened. Fortunately, those soldiers were well trained, had experienced several battles, and were courageous. Although he couldn't shoot, he didn't panic. Even some soldiers who had been wounded in the head and face, as long as they could still fight, silently mounted their bayonets on the barrels of their guns, and at the same time took out their grenades and put them in front of them, preparing for the final white-knuckle battle -- judging from the current posture, a white-knuckle battle was inevitable.

The Joan navy is not good on this side, but their opponents are only worse. At the beginning of the charge, there were as many as six or seven thousand troops, and now I am afraid that there are not even three thousand. It wasn't necessarily all bullets that were knocked over, some fled to both sides, and some lay on the ground and pretended to be dead - of course, only those on the edge of the line dared to do so, and lying down in the middle of the crowd was purely looking for death.

As for the formation of the formation, there is no need to mention anything, it is completely scattered. Those who rushed fast had already run to a hundred meters in front of the Qiong Navy's formation, and those who were dragging behind were still two or three hundred meters away. The whole posture is completely like a street ruffian fighting in a group, and it can be said that the sheep have been completely herded.

The reason why they haven't flown so far is entirely because the group that dragged them back was all white-armored soldiers - this time, except for the white-armored elite in the Houjin army who rushed up at the beginning and were completely annihilated, the remaining nearly 1,000 people were all arranged as a supervising team. They lined up in a sparse but wide array at the rear, driving the Han army like sheep, and if anyone dared to run backwards or deliberately delay backwards, they would be slashed to death as soon as they appeared in front of them. If they fled in both directions, they were shot with bows and arrows - and if they missed, of course, they had to be left alone. U
