Chapter 852: Within Range

As soon as the order was given, the sharp suona sounded, the drum tied to the waist was beaten rapidly, and the company was shouting loudly, ordering the platoons where they were to move forward, and they had to maintain each other's formation.

At this time, Zhao Jin did not go to the battle position with Ji Xiang, he was surrounded by the guards and the horse team, and Ji Xiang was on the right side of the first row of the guards.

The first order was passed on, and the reloaded firecrackers took the firecrackers, held the wooden forks in their arms, and kept blowing the burning fireropes, and walked forward so quickly, the archers followed behind them.

There is a seasoned archer by Meng Zhiqi's side, his archery skills may not be the best, but his eyesight is very good, and he can estimate the accurate distance with his squinting eyes.

The fire gunners and archers in front of them strode forward, and the three phalanxes behind them also moved forward, while the horse team followed slowly and slowly.

Seeing the enemy swaggering up, the official and military arrays couldn't help but stir, and they couldn't just let the enemy come close and do whatever they wanted.

The order was quickly handed down, and the officers and soldiers holding all kinds of firearms and bows and arrows also went to the front, compared to the heavy smoothbore guns in the hands of the Zhao Ziying Fire Gun Ding, the ones they held in their hands were varied, some looked like a cylinder, some were shorter, some were carved with fierce beasts, and some people were holding the shape of birds, but the details on it were different, and the archers were relatively strict.

Just walked head-on, the distance was quickly closer, Meng Zhiqi shouted: "Line up, prepare to shoot"

The order was conveyed by the main teams of companies at all levels, and the firecrackers immediately stopped, and began to line up in a horizontal line with Meng Zhiqi as the target, inserted the end of the wooden fork on the ground, and then set up the firecracker.

Different from the time when he met the cavalry, this time the people standing in the back row stared closely at the front, and then the fire gun in the back row also knew that he was being watched tightly by the archers, if anyone dared to fire first, then the people behind would use the killers, and no one dared to be ambiguous about the interlocking harsh punishment.

However, this time there is another difference from the last time, last time it was a cavalry raid, like lightning and thunder, and the momentum was terrifying, and this time it was a foot soldier who was also holding a firearm, just looking at the loose and messy opponent, it made Ding Dunsheng, the firecracker of Zhao Ziying's battalion, confident.

Although the firearms of the Zhao Ziying camp over there have stopped, but the footsteps of the officers and soldiers have not stopped, they are still walking forward in a chaotic manner, in their minds, all firearms shooting, within fifty steps to hurt people, this is all to say far away, if this is to be determined, it must be thirty steps, it is better to say that this fight is to let the archers get to the front, or to scare the other party first, so that the foot soldiers behind rush over.

Meng Zhiqi's eyes widened more and more, and Zhao Ziying looked down on the officers and soldiers up and down, but the bravery of this official army's foot soldiers was actually like this, the firearms on his own side had been set up, and the other party's footsteps were still non-stop, did he have anything to rely on, or did he get closer to shoot at the old man and the foreigner?

"Sue me when you are eighty paces" Meng Zhiqi gritted his teeth, he could also see that the officers and soldiers on the opposite side were blowing the fire rope to check the ammunition as they walked, and in order to be safe, he had to fire at the limit of the effective range.

The archer beside him didn't make a sound, compared to Meng Zhiqi's shock, the archer of some age only had surprise on his face, when did the official army use firearms so boldly?

"Prepare to prepare" Meng Zhiqi shouted in a long voice, he noticed that the nervous bodies of several firecrackers around him were trembling, but he still didn't dare to pull the trigger, just subconsciously blew the fire rope to keep it from extinguishing.

"Eighty steps" The archer was also a little nervous, Meng Zhiqi had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and immediately put the copper whistle in his mouth and blew it desperately.

The sharp whistle sounded, and both the enemy and us, who were less than a hundred paces away, were shocked, and the enemy was stunned.

At the moment when the firearm fired, the officers and soldiers holding firearms and bows and arrows all showed smug smiles on their faces

Many people didn't have a chance to continue thinking about it, the first, second, and third rows of firecrackers rang out one after another, like a life-harvesting sickle slashing, and in the dense explosion, the officers and soldiers fell down screaming, and the lead-iron projectiles that were several times heavier than the bird's guns hit the body, as long as they hit, they were huge wounds, broken bones, bleeding, and killing

This sudden blow completely blinded the soldiers armed with firearms and bows and arrows, but there was no next round of fire on this side, because the firecrackers were nervously loading their ammunition, and although the three rows of shots just now were in order, they were no different from salvos. Reloading this moment made it easy for the enemy to rush up, although according to the usual drills and calculations, within these eighty paces, there was enough time for the firecrackers to reload and fire again.

"The archers go forward, shoot two arrows and turn back," Bayin shouted in a slightly strange official dialect, and the archers agreed with a bang, and the bows and arrows hurried through the loose queue of the firecrackers, and now the distance between us and the enemy was still eighty paces, and the bows and arrows could not shoot so far.

After the experience of the cavalry charge, the archers were already very skilled, they knew that at this time the smoke was full of gunsmoke, and they could not see the exact position of the enemy, but in front of the enemy, as long as they opened their bows and arrows in the general direction, it was enough, and they could kill.

The rain of arrows poured over, everyone didn't look at the results of the battle, turned their heads and walked back, after seeing the battlefield, whether they were convinced or not, they were all convinced by the killing of the firecracker, and after winning enough time, let the firecracker swing

As soon as the archers of the Zhao battalion ran into the fire queue, the sparse explosion behind them was also alive, and the firearms of the officers and soldiers were fired, and at this time, Meng Zhiqi finally understood why the officers and soldiers had to keep moving forward, because at a distance of eighty paces or even more, the opponent's firearms had almost no possibility of hurting people except for the sound of smoke.

At this time, Zhao Ziying's fire gun had already completed loading, Meng Zhiqi frowned, took a deep breath, and suddenly shouted: "Ten steps forward and set fire"

The queue of the Fire Gun Family Ding obviously stopped, and Meng Zhiqi's expression was a little hideous at this time, and the roar was a little heartbreaking: "Those who don't listen to the order will be killed, ten steps forward, ten steps forward."

The archers standing behind the Fire Gun Ding Company naturally heard Meng Zhiqi's order, and the archers looked at each other and shook their heads.

But under the urging of such an order, the fire gun began to move forward, and these ten steps were not too far, because everyone's steps could not be said to be too big, and after ten steps, the fire was immediately fired.

This time, the results of the battle are very limited, even if the queue of the firecrackers is ten steps forward, but under the first round of shooting and the subsequent rain of arrows, the officers and soldiers who can run have already turned their heads and ran, there is no target in the range in front of them, the infantry of the opposite brigade is slowly moving forward, and the officer and army horse team also began to move, Xuzhou's firearms are really sharp, if they continue to fight like this, the battalion head opposite will be defeated if they don't do well.

However, Zhao Jin had already given the order first, and after this shooting, the fire gun family Ding did not like to fight, turned around and ran back towards the team, and the phalanx of Zhao Zi's battalion was also pressed

The Guard, the First Regiment, and the Second Regiment were not close to each other, and this gap was enough for the archers and firecrackers to circle and line up inside.

After so many years of training, all the family members have carved the queue into the bones, and the fire gun family may not be proficient in shooting and firing, but it is very efficient in lining up between the teams, relatively speaking, the archers are slightly slower, and in the Zhao Zi camp, the archers may be the worst in the queue.

"Brothers, rush up and smash those thieves," the leaders of the officers and soldiers in the barracks shouted loudly.

The smoke and dust have not yet dissipated, the screams are endless, and I vaguely saw that the brigade of the "Xuzhou thieves" was slowly pressing forward, and what I saw and heard made these officers and soldiers frightened.

Rushing to the past to quell the chaos and suppress the thieves, the thieves and the chaotic people looked more powerful than the one in front of them, but they were all embroidered pillows, once they rushed to the front, they were directly scattered without land, even if they were better, they were only able to resist for a moment.

But after the battle just now, I vaguely saw the formation in front of me, and the officers and soldiers themselves couldn't believe it, but what to do, now they can only believe what they can believe

"Kill, kill the thief" officers and soldiers from generals to soldiers, everyone let out a heart-rending howl, made a hideous and distorted expression on their faces, brandished knives and guns forward, the momentum must be enough, can scare the enemy to scare the enemy, but it is not a swarm of rushing up, the officers and soldiers also know to maintain the formation, many times, it is this strict formation, the enemy who has never seen the world oppresses and chaos, and directly collapses in fright.

The firearms had stopped firing, the smoke was no longer filling, and the two armies were approaching each other, and they could finally see each other clearly.

After seeing the formation of the Zhao Zi battalion clearly, the queue of the official army brigade came to a standstill, and just now I was thinking about using my own formation to suppress people, who would have thought that the formation of "Xuzhou thieves and chaotic people" was actually so strict, it looked like a copper wall and an iron wall, and between the square formations, those firearms and bows and arrows were all ready to wait.

I also heard the shouting orders from the other side, and the sound of drums and suona was moving, and I saw the spears facing me flat in rows, looking like steel thorns, and the eyes were shaking with the cold light of sharp blades.

What's that wearing? Is it ironclad? Look at your own body again, there is not a single iron in the so-called battle jacket, that is, the general of the team is wearing chain mail, is there a gold mountain in Xuzhou, how can he support such a battalion, how can he still fight?

"Brothers, thieves are like this, rush to them, and they will be defeated"
