But Chen still refuses to admit it sometimes, they are not the opponents of these Fujian officers and soldiers, aren't they just a little more powerful in artillery? Fujian is in the south, and they can buy some good cannons, but do they dare to fight with Lao Tzu in close quarters?

Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, Lao Tzu led his troops to rush in front of you, aren't you afraid? As long as Lao Tzu rushes over, you must step on your artillery array! Chen sometimes pondered this as a matter of course, still leading his cavalry, and continued to accelerate towards the phalanx on the side of the artillery position of the Yu family's army.

When the war horse rushed to a distance of about 300 meters, Yu's army was not in chaos, and the infantry company protecting the artillery position had already begun to prepare to shoot at this time.

One by one, the swarthy wolf's tooth rifles had already begun to be raised, aiming their black muzzles at the oncoming rebel cavalry, but the officers did not give the order to fire, and they did not fire immediately.

"Grapeshit! Reload grapeshot! Let them come and fight together! Meng Fei sat in the phalanx on this side, shouting loudly and ordering.

The artillerymen methodically and quickly reloaded the guns at the gun emplacement, loaded bags of grape shells the size of pigeon eggs into the barrels, lowered the muzzles of the guns, and pushed the guns back to the gun position, and the muzzles pointed in the direction of the enemy cavalry.

The speed of their movements was almost a bit dazzling, which was also greatly unexpected by the rebels.

Based on the rebels' understanding of artillery, on the battlefield, the artillery of the Ming army can often only have one chance to fire when the enemy is charging, especially in the face of the fast-moving cavalry attack, because they are too slow to reload, and the speed of the enemy is fast, and their psychological pressure is great, which makes their speed very slow.

Often, after firing a shot, the gunners saw the enemy rushing towards them, so they had no time to reload, turned around and fled, and threw away the cannon.

However, they underestimated the ability of the artillery of the Yu family's army, and at this time, they could prepare for the artillery bombardment again so quickly.

After the cannon was reset, this time the cannon was not fired immediately, because the range of grape bullets was closer than that of solid bullets, and the closer the range, the greater the power, and the best firing range, within 200 to 300 steps, just formed an excellent fan, which was when the grapeshot was the most powerful.

And it takes a little time for the rebels to rush from 400 steps to 200 to 300 steps, and at such a close distance, the artillery of the Yu family army can actually complete a reload, which makes many people afraid that they can't believe it.

After the rebels entered the distance of two hundred to three hundred paces, they also entered the effective range of the wolf's tooth rifle, although the musketeer could not achieve an effective hit against the rapidly moving target, but the concentrated fire salvo could still make up for the lack of accuracy, so the cannon and the wolf's tooth rifle combined with the salvo, the power would be very great, Meng Fei made up his mind to give the rebels another big surprise.

Chen sometimes just lowered his head at this time, led the generals, and rushed forward, and couldn't see clearly that the other party had dug a pit and was waiting for him to arrive.

Therefore, the rebels shouted one by one at this time, cheering themselves up, urging the war horses to move forward, but at this time, they still did not raise the speed of the war horses to the highest, and still maintained a certain slow progress.

Because they know very well that if they want the war horse to increase its speed to the fastest speed when it is impacting, it needs to be within two hundred steps to completely urge the war horse, otherwise the war horse will be exhausted and slow down before it can rush in front of the enemy.

Looking at the appearance of the rebel cavalry, most of the generals of the Yu family army secretly sighed in their hearts that it was a pity that these rebel cavalry were indeed elite, but it was a pity that they were going to be slaughtered by them today.

It was only after Chen Shi led his troops and rushed into the front of the artillery position between two hundred and three hundred paces, and most of the rebel cavalry had already entered this range, that Meng Fei suddenly roared: "Gather fire and fire a salvo!" Beat! ”

More than thirty artillery pieces, plus seven or eight hundred wolf-tooth rifles, were finally ordered to open fire at this time, and the gunners and musketeers immediately moved.

I saw it in front of the Yu family's army array, and at this time, it was as if a volcano had suddenly erupted, and one cannon after another roared angrily, spewing out clusters of dazzling flames, and one wolf tooth rifle after another, and then began to spray small balls of flames.

At this time, the sound of gunfire and artillery was intertwined, like a grand war symphony, and all kinds of shells and Miner's shells swept towards the rebels like a storm.

A large number of rebels looked at the scene in front of the Fujian officers and soldiers in front of them in a daze, and they were a little frightened, and some of them were stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and even despised these Fujian officers and soldiers a little.

More than 200 steps! You Southern barbarians, you actually started to beat with bird guns, can you beat Zhonglaozi? This Fujian officer and soldier is still tender in the end!

But this thought of them was only a fleeting one, and then, the rebels who rushed to the front were like crashing head-on into an invisible wall, and even men and horses began to spew blood mist all over their bodies, and one after another fell on the path of the charge.

Especially the grape shells fired by those cannons, these shells weigh more than ordinary small particle shotguns, the flight speed is very fast, the kinetic energy is also very large, the human body is next to each other, being pierced is the least, even the war horse can be pierced front and rear, and a pack of grape bullets, is dozens, sweeping a large area, there are almost no blind spots.

Dozens of cannons, together with grapevine shells, almost completely blocked the entire frontal battlefield, so that the rebels had no place to hide, and in addition to a large number of Migne bullets fired from wolf tooth rifles, the entire front of the battlefield was almost blocked by their projectiles.

The rebel cavalry who rushed to the front could almost be said to have no chance of escaping, as if they had hit a wall, and they were rushing with blood, and they fell to the ground with a loud chatter, and this salvo killed at least more than 100 rebel soldiers and horses, and the entire rebel front was almost swept away.

Even the rebels who were further behind were not spared, and were cut to the ground by the missing bullets, which made the rebels suffer very heavy losses, and many rebels were almost scared to pee their pants, but they could not contain the war horses, so they could only step on the corpses of their comrades all over the ground and the fragments of the war horses, and continue to rush forward.

"Damn! What's going on? Chen was sometimes lucky not to be hit on the spot by this round of barrage, but he was really frightened and scolded, he couldn't understand why these Fujian officers and soldiers fired so fast, why these Fujian officers and soldiers hit so far, this was too unexpected for him.

At this time, Chen sometimes didn't dare to despise these Fujian officers and soldiers in front of him anymore, and he now understood why Li Fujie and others were wiped out by the Fujian officers and soldiers in Pingdu.

This group of Fujian soldiers is really powerful, at least these cannons in their hands are fierce enough, it is the first time that he has been subjected to such fierce shelling on the battlefield, and it seems that the other party's bird guns are beyond his imagination.

In his mind, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and remembered the news that Chen Guangfu had sent back from Muping County, Ninghai Prefecture at the beginning of the year, saying that they had encountered a fierce counterattack by a group of villagers called He Village, and suffered heavy casualties.

At that time, many people thought that this was Chen Guangfu's prevarication, which could only show that Chen Guangfu was too good, but today, these bird guns in the hands of these Fujian soldiers that can fight two or three hundred steps reminded him of this matter, is this true? Is there really a bird in the world that can hit two or three hundred paces away? And the Fujian soldiers are also southerners, and they happen to have this kind of thing in their hands?

If that's the case, then it's troublesome, Chen sometimes thinks of this, only to feel that the entire spine is chilled, goosebumps have arisen on his body, and his hairs stand up.

If this was true, then he would be in danger today, and wouldn't he ...... at the thought that they were now within range of the enemy's terrible birds, and God knew when a bullet would hit him in the head?

Chen was sometimes so shocked that the hairs on his body stood up, and for a while he only felt a boom in his head, and he didn't know what to react to, whether to retreat or continue to rush forward, and he himself was a little overwhelmed at this time.

Although a volley of cannons and guns just now, shooting and killing many rebels and horses, the rebels still maintained that momentum at this time, continued to pass over the corpses of those fallen men and horses, and advanced towards the array of the Yu family's army, and did not collapse immediately.

And after they rushed into two hundred steps, they had already begun to urge the war horses with all their strength and accelerate again, which even the generals of the Yu family army admired them a little.

But admiration is admiration, this battle still has to be fought, people, of course, they have to continue to kill, look at the appearance of these rebels, the generals of the Yu family army also know why they can be so arrogant, these guys are indeed a little arrogant, if the ordinary soldiers and horses meet them, it is really not easy to deal with them.

That is, they are in the army, fortunately they have sharp firearms in their hands, as well as perfect battle formation coordination, and more perfect tactics and troop coordination, and they are not afraid of these rebel cavalry, otherwise, it will be really dangerous to run into them.

Now they occupy the absolute initiative on the battlefield in their own army, and the number of infantry far exceeds that of the enemy army, so no one is nervous.

Meng Fei was also a little surprised to see that the rebels were beaten so wildly without collapsing, and after sneering, he ordered: "The artillery is free to fire, and the infantry musketeers start to fire in three stages!" Call me! You can't even recognize them! Kill! ”
