"Launch! Launch! ”

"The enemy is coming up, speed up the launch!"

The road between the two brothers, Guni Yinbu and Bhaktan, was broken by Geng Jingzhong with a small tribulus terrestris, but the crazy attack of Enai achieved a certain effect, and after losing nearly thirty percent of the soldiers and horses, Enai finally commanded the remaining more than 1,000 people to approach to a distance of less than fifty meters from the Mawei military formation.

At this time, the sky above the Mawei military formation was already shrouded in a thick layer of white smoke, and the thick smell of gunpowder smoke choked almost everyone coughed non-stop. Because the vision was so blurred, the horsetail soldiers were greatly affected in terms of shooting accuracy and reload speed. A squadron leader ran to Luo Cheng's side and shouted at the top of his voice: "Brigade commander, our rifles are firing too fast, and some of the barrels are already red. ”

"No way!" Luo Cheng shouted at the top of his voice: "The enemy is about to press up, if we slow down the shooting speed, it won't take a few breaths for them to rush to us, and then we will be in trouble!" ”

"Your Excellency...... The enemy is rushing up! As soon as Luo Cheng's words fell, someone next to him shouted loudly. Luo Cheng turned his head and saw that on the right side of the phalanx, seven or eight enemies had advanced to the front of the phalanx with the help of the cover of shields, rushed into the phalanx and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with several warriors.

"Quick, drive those enemies out, and don't let them disrupt our phalanx!" See something like this. Luo Cheng's eyes suddenly turned red. The advantage of the horsetail army is the sharpness of firearms. The enemy's advantage lies in his proficiency in hand-to-hand combat. In this regard, there is a lot of difference between the Mawei Army and these elites of the Qing Army who have obviously fought on the battlefield for several years, you must know that this part of the Mawei Army of the former army is still a new army in the real sense, and it has only been an army for less than a year! If you let the enemy break into the phalanx, it will be equivalent to hitting the enemy's long length with your own short, and the losses will be great.

"Kill!" A Qing soldier in heavy armor rushed out from behind a wooden shield and rushed into the Mawei military formation like a whirlwind. He holds a small round shield in his left hand. Wielding a long knife in his right hand, he slashed at the shoulder of a horsetail soldier, and the soldier's left shoulder was cut off and fell to the ground with his arm in the first place. The soldier didn't see it alive either. But at this moment, the reaction speed of the other Mawei soldiers was not slow, and then a cold light flashed in front of the eyes of this Qing army. The Qing soldier hurriedly waved the small round shield in his hand to block it, only to hear a "dang" sound, and the bayonet of a horsetail soldier had already stabbed his round shield with a crisp sound.

"Kill!" Before the Qing soldier could come to his senses, two more soldiers stabbed him with rifles, and the black-gray bayonets flashed with the cold light of the forest. The soldier tried to flash his body and let go of the bayonet on the left, but the bayonet on the right did not dodge, he only felt a chill pass through the corner of his eye, and then a cold sensation came from his neck. A tingling pain ensued. Immediately, his eyes went dark and he knew nothing.

One of the soldiers withdrew his bayonet, and the soldier's heavy body fell to the ground like a sack. It's just that the warrior hasn't had time to rejoice. An arrow shot lightning at the front door, and suddenly the warrior was shot into the head by the arrow, and died without saying a word.

In the direction from which the arrow flew, a Qing archer in cotton armor showed his body behind a shield cart and saw that he had shot down a horsetail. He immediately drew another arrow from the receiver behind him, aimed it at the other ponytail and opened his bow. It has to be said that he moves very quickly, but he has no chance to shoot a second arrow. A few sounds like fried beans sounded, and a large hole was opened in the archer's lower abdomen, and a stream of blood mixed with blue-gray intestines poured out of the large hole. Because he was shot in the abdomen, the archer did not die in the first place, and the great pain made him throw away the longbow in his hand and fall to the ground in the first time, wailing and rolling, because the intestines had flowed out of the stomach, so when he rolled, the blue-gray intestines were also dragged to the ground, like a long and ugly earthworm squirming.

Geng Jingzhong naturally saw the news that the front row of the phalanx had been broken through, he took a deep breath, and ordered the heralds beside him: "Order the phalanx behind to move forward, replace the two phalanxes in front, and then order the follow-up troops to prepare grenades, and give me everything to destroy this part of the Qing army!" ”

"Yes!"

"Knock knock...... Knock Knock...... Knock knock knock ......"

The eight-sided drum behind Geng Jingzhong began to sound rhythmically, and after hearing the drum, the soldiers of the two phalanxes behind began to trot all the way to the back of the two phalanxes in front and began to prepare to take over the two phalanxes in front and retreat. About one-fifth of the warriors at the forefront of the two new phalanxes each had a heavy cloth bag hanging from their waists, and at the same time a fire fold in their left hand. Four hundred other warriors, holding large shields, plunged in.

At this time, the battle in the front of the phalanx had begun to become fierce, and the Qing soldiers continued to break into the formation, and the soldiers kept driving them out. However, due to the fact that the Qing soldiers wore armor, their fighting ability was indeed very strong, and the soldiers often had to pay a large price to kill them, and that's it, almost one for another, such a loss was really difficult for the Mawei Army to accept. Soon, the arrival of the follow-up troops greatly relieved the pressure on the former army Luo Cheng, and a heavy shield with a face that was more than half a person tall could withstand most of the flying arrows after being erected.

"Brigade commander, the Metropolitan Governor sent a grenade and ordered us to quickly defeat this Qing army!" The heralds who came up from the follow-up phalanx reported to Luo Chengyu.

"Then don't hurry!" After the heavy shield on this side was erected, Luo Cheng also heard this, so he hurriedly shouted: "Quick, grenade ready!" ”

As the orders were given, the soldiers who had just come up began to move forward again, only to see that their right hand opened the cloth bag on their waists and took out a swarthy thing from it, which was obviously the grenade that the Mawei Army had been using last year. After the fuse was lit, there was a "whoosh" sound, and then the soldiers quickly threw the things in their hands towards the front of the battle.

At the same time, nearly 300 black things that were still braving sparks rained down in front of the Qing army.

"Boom Boom"

"Boom Boom"

"Boom Boom"

As the black dot landed, it was followed by bursts of explosions sounding one after another more than thirty meters away, and these explosions were so loud. The explosion was accompanied by puffs of smoke. This was followed by screams from the Qing army's attacking ranks. In fact, the grenade has been invented in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty called it "ten thousand enemies". It's just that the gunpowder manufacturing technology of the Ming Dynasty was too poor, and the Ming Dynasty version of the grenade was too heavy, so the Ming army at that time generally only used it when defending the city. The grenades used by the Mawei Army are each one pound and six taels, although the power is not as great as that of the grenades of later generations, but it is not a problem to kill and injure within a range of two meters.

At this moment, the Qing soldiers who had never seen this kind of attack were stunned. As grenades fell among the enemy troops, the sound of explosions continued to sound, and many Qing soldiers who were about to rush over were blown up in the bursts of explosions.

"Boom Boom"

"Boom Boom"

"Boom Boom"

A grenade exploded next to a shield cart, and the shield cart made of thick planks was shattered in the explosion, killing the archers who had been hiding behind it and shooting arrows at the Matails.

"Okay, just throw it like that, blow him up a shit!" Because the explosion came so suddenly, the Qing soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the attack was forced to stop. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two phalanxes in the back also took the opportunity to replace the two phalanxes in front.

1,600 fresh troops came on the field, and Luo Cheng also raised his eyebrows a lot, and soon bursts of gunfire immediately sounded on the phalanx. The Mawei Army, which had restored the rate of fire, was defeated by the Qing soldiers for a while, and suffered heavy casualties

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

A sound like fried beans continued to sound, and several Qing soldiers who were brandishing long knives and roaring forward fell to the ground as if they had been kicked in the chest, and blood foamed out of their mouths. At this moment, Enai was brandishing a long knife and directing a group of soldiers to charge regardless of a qiē, and in front of him there were seven or eight Qing soldiers holding high wooden shields to resist Minnie's bullets for him, and at this time he was roaring like crazy: "Charge me...... Rush forward, and the rebel array will soon break through! ”

For the phalanx at this time, there is no need for Luo Cheng to personally command, for the soldiers, the battlefield has always been the best teacher, a real actual combat is far more than a hundred rigorous training can make the soldiers grow. After nearly half an hour of fighting, these warriors, who had only fought one or two battles, quickly matured. Tearing open the rationed gunpowder pack, pouring it into the barrel, putting the Mini bullet into the barrel, pestle, raising the gun, and shooting all of these things became almost instinctive, and all the soldiers were doing these things in an orderly manner, and now their only purpose was to kill all the enemies in front of them in armor.

Since the four phalanxes had completed their alternation, the firing speed had returned to normal levels, and the dense rain of bullets had beaten the Qing soldiers to the ground. As the war dragged on, the situation on the battlefield was radically reversed. After fighting for so long, some Qing archers shot more than a dozen arrows, but most of them were killed by the Mawei soldiers after only shooting one or two arrows. (To be continued......)
