As soon as Wei Zheng finished speaking, a string of gunshots like bursting beans reached everyone's ears.

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, the figure of the musketeer on the front line of the earthen wall was already shrouded in white smoke from the musket fire.

Therefore, the civil and military officials headed by Li Wenxuan and Zhang Wu did not see the specific combat process of the musketeers.

However, the results of the first round of lead bullets fired by the musketeers on the battlefield are clear to everyone.

Shots rang out, and the rebel musketeers, who had to gather in order to maintain the density of fire, were like ripe wheat, cut straight to the ground in pieces by the whistling lead bullets. In the blink of an eye, the rebels' dense musket array was beaten by the Haw Par Army muskets and lead bullets, and some gaps were made alive.

Seeing this, dozens of civil and military officials standing behind Wei Zheng subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Because, if the rebels suffer casualties, it means that the Haw Par Army's counterattack is effective, which means that the Haw Par Army may block the rebel attack and ensure everyone's safety.

However, the next scene on the battlefield once again shocked their newly calmed mood.

Of course, this shock was not because of fear and fear, but because of the shock, the shock of the strong combat effectiveness of the Haw Par Army.

The storm of death brought by the first round of gunfire to the rebel musketeers has not stopped, and the fierce artillery sound from the positions of the Haw Par Army has already reached everyone's ears.

Compared with the deafening sound of the rebels' artillery, the cannon sound of the Haw Par Army can be directly described by the words 'the earth shakes the mountains'.

Hundreds of guns were fired at the same time, some using shotshots. Some used solid shells to quickly move forward in front of the position into an impenetrable storm of steel, with the breath of death. Pounced on the rebel artillery positions.

At a distance of more than 100 paces, although Li Wenxuan and the others could not really see the tragic scene behind the rebel artillery position. However, the picture of the dense rebels being harvested by shells and lead bullets and falling to the ground is still clearly seen in Li Wenxuan's eyes.

Until the second round of gunfire fired by the Haw Par Army reached Li Wenxuan's ears. Li Wenxuan, who was once again enveloped by shock in his heart, reacted from the shock.

Especially when he saw the rebel attacking troops, once again dropping dozens of corpses in the second round of gunfire from the Haw Par Army, he could no longer hold back the doubts and curiosity in his heart. Grabbing Wei Zheng, he asked, "My lord, how many cannons and muskets are the Haw Par Army equipped with, and how can it be so powerful." ”

"And. How could the muskets of the Haw Par Army shoot so far? The muskets equipped by the rebels could not even touch the positions of the Haw Par Army, but the muskets equipped by the Haw Par Army could already kill the rebel attacking troops lightly......"

"You know, the rebels are armed with arquebuses. All of them were captured on the battlefield in Shaanxi. And they were all allocated by the imperial court. Although it can't be said to be a match, it is already very powerful in terms of power. However, the muskets equipped by the Haw Par Army are even more powerful than these arquebuses..."

Just as Li Wenxuan was about to continue to ask, Zhang Wu directly rushed to ask: "My lord, the last general just saw that the musket equipped by the Tiger and Leopard Army has a very fast rate of fire. It's safe to say. It is the most elite Beijing battalion of our Ming Dynasty, in terms of firearms combat. It's not as good as the Haw Par Army you command. ”

"The last general has just calculated carefully, the time it takes for our arquebus in the Ming Dynasty to shoot three rounds of lead bullets, and the muskets equipped by the Tiger and Par Army can shoot at least five rounds of lead bullets."

"With the rate of fire and range far inferior to the Haw Par Army, the rebel musketeers attacked the Haw Par Army, and in addition to being passively beaten to death, they could not even damage the fur of the Haw Par Army, let alone attack the positions of the Haw Par Army."

"Now I finally know why you are so confident in this battle, my lord."

"It turns out that the Haw Par Army under your command not only has strong fighting soldiers, but also has sophisticated equipment that far surpasses the rebels."

As he spoke, the rebels, who had been hit by several rounds of attacks by the Haw Par Army in a row, could not stand this passive situation.

Regardless of whether he attacks the range of the arquebus in his hand or not, he ignites the arquebus directly and pulls the trigger forward.

After the sound of gunfire like beans, a dense stream of lead bullets flew towards the position of the Tiger and Par Army with a whistling sound. The rebels' attacking troops, lined up in dense musket formations, were also instantly enveloped in white smoke from their own musket fire.

At this moment, the battlefield became more and more lively.

On the battlefield completely shrouded in white smoke, everyone couldn't see each other's situation clearly. However, in the face of life and death, the well-trained officers and men of the two armies relied on their feelings and battlefield experience to use their fastest speed to reload, shoot, and reload the muskets in their hands...... Repeat the same action over and over again.

As the saying goes, 'the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear', the soldiers who came to the battlefield did not know the situation of the other side, but Li Wenxuan and others, who were on the battlefield to watch the battle, could judge the situation of the battlefield constantly changing by the intensity of gunfire.

In particular, the rebel artillery positions, which were hit by hundreds of artillery pieces at the same time, were attacked by the Haw Par Army one after another. The huge battlefield has been full of corpses of rebels in various postures, even missing arms and broken arms.

As a result, the battlefield that was still rumbling with artillery just now, except for death, could no longer be seen or heard.

As for the rebel attacking forces, shrouded in white smoke, as the battle continued, the sound of their bean-like shots of lead bullets became weaker and weaker. It is certain that under the sharp blows of the Haw Par Musket Regiment, the losses of the rebel attacking troops must have been very huge.

On the other hand, the Haw Par Army, which is sticking to the front line of the earthen wall, from the beginning of the battle to the present, not only has the sound of bean-like gunfire not weakened in the slightest, but has become more and more dense.

Seeing this, a heartfelt smile quickly appeared on Wei Zheng's face.

In front of all the civil and military officials of Datong Mansion, he said proudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, if nothing happens, the battle is about to end." These rebels will surely pay a heavy price of thousands of lives for their actions against the enemy. ”

On the position of the Haw Par Army, which was completely shrouded in white smoke, including Wang Feng, the faces of every soldier were blackened by gunsmoke.

Even so, the 1,000 musketeers were still trained to reload and shoot their pistols with great skill, unaffected by any external factors.

Because they knew very well and believed in the power of the muskets in their hands, and believed that under the protection of the flintlock muskets, the old arquebuses in the hands of the rebels could not hurt themselves at all. What you need to do is to use your fastest rate of fire to shoot as many lead bullets forward as possible to hit the rebels and prevent them from approaching you.

Wang Feng, who was diametrically opposed to his subordinates' constant movements, leaned against the earthen wall, pressed his ears against the earthen wall, and listened intently to any movement that might sound in front of the position.

According to these movements, the most timely and accurate combat orders are issued to the subordinates.

When he heard the gunfire fired by the rebels in front of the position, it turned from strong to weak, and even showed signs of disappearing. Wang Feng's calm face quickly flashed with a trace of excitement.

It was as if he had suddenly taken a stimulant, and shouted excitedly.

"Stop shooting, everyone stop shooting......"

After the orders were passed to the ears of each soldier layer after layer, the battlefield, which was still lively just now, instantly became quiet.

At this moment, the former musketeers, whose arms were already a little numb, directly heard the constant wails of the rebels in front of the position.

"Why is it that there is only the wailing of the rebels, and there is no sound of the rebels' attack and gunfire....Could it be that the rebel attacking force has been repulsed by us?" This thought quickly spread among the 1,000 musketeers on the front line of the earthen wall.

As the smoke shrouded in the battlefield slowly dissipated, the bloody battlefield slowly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

After a glance, everyone was surprised to find that the 1,000 musketeers who attacked them were not repelled by themselves, but all of them were shot on the battlefield by themselves.

Ninety to a hundred paces in front of the position, almost an entire layer of rebel corpses was covered.

Of course, there are also some rebels who were shot and did not die immediately, lying among the corpses, making some heart-rending screams, which are unusually infiltrating.

Facing the battlefield situation in front of you, which is like hell, very tragic. A thousand musketeers had nothing, because, the tragic battle in which the muskets of Tongguò shot thousands of enemies on the spot, they had all experienced, not to mention the rebels who had just a thousand men in front of them.

So, after only the first surprise of the thousand musketeers, their faces regained their composure. And turned his gaze to the commander beside him, waiting for a new order to be given.

At this moment, a personal guard who was following Wei Zheng suddenly rushed over and shouted loudly: "The chief soldier has an order, all the officers and men of the Haw Par Army are on standby, and they will be transferred to rest immediately..."

"Stand by now... Could it be that the battlefield is just put here and not cleaned..."Wang Feng muttered to himself with a puzzled face.

However, the next scene on the battlefield directly told Wang Feng this answer.

Under the order of Wei Zheng, the 10,000 Datongfu garrisons approached the battlefield step by step with a pale face.

When the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke and blood permeated their surroundings, some of the pale recruits squatted directly on the ground and began to vomit in large gulps.

Even those recruits who mustered up the courage to go into battle were not much better.

Looking at the corpses in various postures in front of him, he directly became at a loss for what to do.

The hundreds of officers of the Haw Par Army who had already entered the garrison of Datong Mansion frowned and roared loudly at the soldiers under their command.

"What are you doing in a daze, and you will clean up the battlefield immediately...... In pairs, all the corpses of the rebels were carried out of the battlefield and buried. As for the injuries on the battlefield, if the injuries are too serious to be saved, all of them will be mended to him and give him a good time. Those who can be saved are all carried to the rear for treatment..."

Obviously, Wei Zheng wanted to clean the battlefield in a way that would make the recruits more accustomed to the battlefield and know what life and death were.

Not to mention, as there are fewer and fewer corpses on the battlefield, the faces of many recruits who were still defeated just now have become calm unconsciously. Needless to say, these people have adapted to the brutality and bloodshed of the battlefield, and as long as they are trained, they will become a very qualified soldier. (To be continued......)
