And at this moment, the figure of more than a hundred musketeers of the guard company suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

More than a hundred musketeers, lined up in a very loose offensive formation, under the cover of muskets and artillery, like a gust of wind, quickly rushed towards the city walls!

In the face of the enemy's situation, the defenders of the city knew that as long as these more than 100 musketeers approached the city wall, they would inflict a devastating blow on the soldiers under their command.

Therefore, the guard general gave the order to counterattack without thinking about it, forcing his soldiers to raise their guns to counterattack.

However, under the threat of lead bullets flying overhead, the officers and men of the New Army, who had been completely overshadowed by fear, did not carry out the military order.

They were really forced by the officers around them, and they had completely lost the courage to fight, so they shouted directly......

"The musket is here, why should we send us to death...... You have the ability to raise a gun yourself to fight back......"

A word to wake up the dreamer...... This shout, full of anger and dissatisfaction, quickly spread around. The eyes of ordinary soldiers, as if they had been discussed, gathered at the same time on the officers around them.

If one or two subordinates looked at themselves like this, the officer would definitely draw his broadsword and sue them with military law, and the authority of the officer in the army would not be provocative.

But when all his subordinates glared at him, he did it. What awaits him must be the mass attack of all his subordinates.

As an officer who was on the battlefield, he knew very well that continuous fighting had brought these subordinates to the brink of collapse.

If one is not handled well, these soldiers under his command will collapse directly.

Therefore, in the face of more than a dozen pairs of angry eyes, he stared at himself. Just now he was still an officer with a murderous face. Straightforwardly compromised.

Thereupon. In order to survive, such a scene appeared directly on the battlefield......

Under the suppression of the Haw Par Army's clever muskets, the remaining soldiers of the new army at the head of the city, like turtles with shrunken heads, all hid behind the city stomping.

Then, raising the musket with both hands, he did not aim, and shot lead bullets aimlessly outside the city.

In the first two attacks. The lead bullets fired by the officers and men of the New Army after simple aiming could not cause much damage to the scattered attacking troops of the Haw Par Army, let alone their aimless shooting now.

Therefore, under the cover of the three musket companies behind them, the attack of more than a hundred musketeers of the guard company had almost no losses.

On the other hand, the soldiers of the New Army who hid behind the stomping of the city dodged the oncoming lead bullets. However, there is no way to dodge the flowering bombs that fall from the sky.

Therefore, every explosion on the city wall will take the lives of so many defenders in an instant......

Then. The face of the guard who had been sticking to the city wall slowly showed a trace of despair......

In his opinion. If this battle continues like this, it won't be long before the only 1,000 troops left under his command will be completely consumed by the Tiger and Par Army's flowering bombs......

When the time comes, no matter how many advanced firearms and grenades you have...... In the absence of people, there is no power to return to heaven to defeat the attack of the Haw Par Army.

At this moment, a thousand generals beside him suddenly reminded: "General, artillery battalion, artillery battalion, artillery battalion and nine red-clothed cannons...... Let the artillery battalion open fire, and it will definitely be able to repel the attack of the Haw Par Army......"

The guard's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Yes, although the red-coated artillery of the artillery battalion can't bombard the mortars of the Tiger and Par Army. However, it can bombard the Tiger and Panther Musketeers...... One shot can kill at least seven or eight Haw Par Army musketeers......"

"General Ben ordered the remaining red-coated cannons in the artillery battalion to fire immediately, and to disperse the tiger and leopard musket array for Ben General...... Cover the counterattack of the officers and men of the New Army and repel the attack of the Tiger and Par Army. ”

Compared with the musketeers of the new army, there are basically no artillerymen who have participated in close combat, and they have no will to fight.

Therefore, when more than half of the artillery battalion was lost, they had completely lost the courage to bombard the artillery of the Tiger and Par Army.

After the order of the defenders to counterattack reached the artillery battalion, the first thought of the more than 100 gunners was not how to counterattack and use artillery fire to repel the attack of the Tiger and Par Army.

Instead, he was thinking about how to shirk this military order. Or how to delay the time after receiving the order, not to fire artillery as much as possible, and not to show up on the battlefield.

However, what the commander of the artillery battalion did not expect was that it was because of his prevarication and delay. Let the remaining nine red-coated cannons in the artillery battalion become trophies of the Haw Par Army before they have time to fire.

Just when the defenders of the new army were anxiously waiting for the red-coated cannon to fire.

More than a hundred musketeers of the guard company had already rushed to a distance of less than forty paces from the city wall.

The defender, who was forced to be helpless, had to order his subordinates to use grenades instead, hoping that the grenades could block the attack of more than 100 tiger and leopard troops.

No matter which unit the Haw Par Army is in, the guards are the elite of the elite.

Therefore, the arm strength of more than a hundred musketeers in the guard company definitely exceeds that of ordinary musketeers.

When the dense grenades flew out of the city wall and smashed into the guard company, more than 100 grenades also flew towards the city.

As the sound of violent explosions resounded on the battlefield, both on the city walls and outside the city were enveloped in gunpowder smoke from the explosion of grenades. The only difference is that after the grenade exploded, more than 100 Haw Par troops, whether they were alive or dead, all lay on the ground.

The officers and men of the New Army defending Chengtou were killed or injured by hundreds of volley-blasting grenades, and as long as they fell to the ground, they were either killed or wounded, and all of them lost their combat effectiveness.

At a glance, the defenders, who were already less than a thousand people, paid more than half of the casualties in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the remaining soldiers of the new army at the head of the city, under the threat of death so closely, finally collapsed......

No matter how much the officer roared, he even directly drew a broadsword and threatened him with death. There is no way to stop their collapse......

Such a good opportunity, the guard company that lost more than half of it outside the city, of course, will not let it go......

After a loud shout sounded on the battlefield, more than seventy musketeers, like leopards that had discovered their prey, rushed towards the city gate with unprecedented charging speed......

A "......boom" explosion shook the mountains and sounded in the city gate hole, and the city gate hole, which was still a black hole just now, was directly blown open.

Subsequently, more than 70 musketeers of the guard company rushed into Qingchuan County along the city gate.

Of course, the three musket companies and more than 400 musketeers who had been shooting covering a hundred paces away also rushed to the battlefield in a very timely manner, closely following behind the guard company and entering Qingchuan County.

"We won, we won this battle...... Now I really want to until, what kind of officers and soldiers are the new imperial army defending Qingchuan County, and they have such combat effectiveness, which is beyond my understanding of the imperial court officers and soldiers......" The tense face of the regiment commander Xiao Dan finally relaxed. Then, he said calmly......

What Xiao Dan didn't expect was that the battle in front of him made the Tiger and Leopard Army reacquaint themselves with the imperial court. At the same time, Wei Zheng had to change his attitude towards the imperial court and change the development phalanx of the Haw Par Army...... (To be continued......)
