As soon as the order was given, the departments began to get busy, and the artillery was not afraid that the rebel cavalry was rushing towards them, and in front of the artillery array, there was a temporary bunker, and there were rejecting horses, even if the enemy cavalry rushed over, they could not kill their artillery positions, and the artillery also had their own musketeers to protect them, and once the enemy broke through the defensive line, someone would go up to stop them.

So these artillerymen continued to reload and reset in an orderly manner, and at this time the companies had begun to allow them to shoot freely according to the platoon units, and the reload could also be freely chosen according to the needs.

But the artillerymen, without exception, at this time all chose grapeshot and shotgun, these two types of ammunition are the most suitable for dealing with the enemy army at the moment, and now if you use solid bullets, it is estimated that the officer should be swept to the end after this battle, and go home to pick up the child.

So, with an almost frantic speed, they began to reload the cannon and push it back into place.

The biggest disadvantage of the retreating artillery is that every time a cannon is fired, the cannon must be pushed back to the gun position, which is quite a large consumption for the artillery, and most of their strength has to be used to push the cannon, so even in the winter, if the battle is tense, they will still throw off their arms in the heat.

A cannon, you start to scramble for fire, although scattered shooting, not as shocking as the kind of fire salvo just now, but the power has not decreased much, on the contrary, the effectiveness of killing and injuring the enemy is higher, these artillery are where there are many people, where the enemy is dense, they will fire at where, grapeshot and shotgun are the most suitable for this, every cannon passes, almost no miss, at least two or three enemy soldiers must be killed, more than one cannon over, it is not strange to overturn seven or eight.

At this time, the musketeers in the infantry phalanx armed with wolf's tooth rifles were all lined up in the forefront, showing a three-stage strike formation, which was actually just a tactical name, and in a situation like today, in order to maintain the continuity of firepower, the three-stage attack was not fully effective.

In order to maximize the effectiveness of the muskets, the officers lined up the musketeers in five rows, and the five rows of musketeers took turns to fire, which greatly shortened the time between each salvo, made the fire more continuous, and also reduced the waste of ammunition caused by ineffective shooting.

The five platoons of musketeers were ordered to fire in turn, the first platoon retreated to the last, and the second platoon, until it was their turn to fire again, and the soldiers in the first platoon had already finished reloading again, so there was no interruption in the musket salvo at all.

There was only six or seven seconds between each salvo, which required the musketeers to be able to reload twice per minute, which was crucial for the musketeers' usual training, otherwise it would be difficult for the musketeers to achieve such a reload rate in wartime.

Therefore, I only saw the front of the infantry phalanx of the home army, and the flames of the muskets, like a shuttle, went back and forth, and the front of them was shrouded in a cloud of gunsmoke, so that later the musketeers could no longer see the enemy's situation clearly, and could only shoot in the almost blind way of firing a volley.

This time the rebels were unlucky, the shells and shells of the Yu family army were intertwined, and they rained down on them, although they frantically urged the war horses, wanting to rush to the front of the enemy formation, but one after another were knocked to the ground by the shells and shells, and became the victims of this battle.

Chen sometimes felt that there was a roar in his brain, and the whole person almost felt a little dizzy, as if today's battle was very unreal, like a dream, only to see those subordinates around him, who kept spitting blood mist on their bodies, one after another, even people and horses fell to the ground, trampled under the feet of the people and horses behind.

Guns and cannons kept flying past his ears, making a whistling sound, making people's hairs stand on end, shuddering, and then even he himself was a little numb, this short distance of more than 200 steps, as if it would never end, a qiē became so slow, the cannonballs in their crowd, constantly stirred up clouds of dust, the bullets fell on the ground, and also shot out a slip of dust and smoke.

Just when he finally rushed to the front of the enemy more than 100 steps, good luck finally left him, he only felt that his body suddenly shook violently, and there was a sharp pain in his chest, as if he had been punched in the chest, and he was lifted off from behind the horse's buttocks with his back facing the sky, and fell heavily to the ground, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Several of his own soldiers exclaimed, "The general has fallen off his horse!" Hurry up the general! Disperse! Disperse! Don't come here! Hugh will hurt the general again! ”

A few pro-soldiers frantically reined in the horse's reins, circled the horse's head and turned around, driving away the rebel generals who followed behind, and ordered them to bypass Chen Shishi, who fell off the horse, and not to step on Chen Shi again.

But their efforts were so powerless in the face of the artillery fire of the family army, their roars were almost all drowned out by the guns of the Yu family army, and few people could hear what they were shouting, and the cavalry behind them still lowered their heads, like stupid, and rushed forward with their heads stuffy, and the two pro-soldiers who had just jumped off the horse were knocked out on the spot, and then they were trampled into meat paste by the horses.

Frightened, the rest of the pro-soldiers didn't dare to dismount lightly, so they could only scream frantically, and tried to save Chen several times, but they couldn't succeed, and the two pro-soldiers were knocked to the ground by the bullets from behind.

At this time, someone finally saw Chen Shi who fell from the horse, at this time Chen Shi was lying on the ground, his mouth kept spurting blood outward, his eyes were half-open, looking at the sky, not moving, his legs twitched slightly, because he was covered with thick armor, and he couldn't see where the injury was, but he could see that he was seriously injured from a large pool of blood soaked under him, and he was already in a dying state at this time.

Fortunately, he was not stepped on again, otherwise Chen would have died on the spot, but the soldiers also saw that Chen was sometimes out of breath and less in breath.

"General Chen is dead! General Chen is dead! Oh no, General Chen was killed......" More people among the rebels immediately shouted in surprise, and more and more people heard it, and the shouts became louder and louder, and the rebel army immediately began to disperse.

The ancient army and even the modern army, the most taboo is that the general dies in battle, the general is the core and backbone of the army, once there is a death, the morale of the whole army will immediately fall to the bottom, the rebels as an army without roots, they have no owner and no country, and there is no one to rely on, all by these rebel generals to lead them, to give them courage and encouragement, they can follow the chaos.

But once the rebel general fell, then the pillar in their hearts also fell together, when they heard the news of Chen Shi's death, all the rebels immediately panicked, including those rebel generals among them, they were also at a loss for a while, almost everyone's first reaction was that the generals were dead, and they were still a fart! Run!

So the rebel cavalry who were charging began to restrain their horses one after another, turned their horses' heads on the spot, and began to turn around and urge their horses to flee from the battlefield.

They are like a group of prey, cut over to the ground like rice cuts, and they can only watch themselves being beaten, but they can't fight back, this kind of aggrieved mood is needless to mention, it is really depressing and wants to spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Now that even their main general has been killed, they naturally can't continue to rush over, so the rebels who were still roaring and screaming just now shouted and screamed again in the blink of an eye, and began to turn their horses' heads and run away on the way they came.

Even the speed at which they fled exceeded the speed of the charge, which caught the generals of the Yu family army a little off guard.

But Meng Fei still accurately grasped the crux of the problem, and was the first to shout: "The traitor will be killed!" They collapsed! Ha ha! Keep firing and give them a ride! Hit, hit hard, and the more you kill, the better! ”

The musketeers and artillerymen, without stopping, continued to fire desperately, and the smoke of gunpowder enveloped them, and they could not see the enemy's location clearly, so they adopted the method of blind fire and carried out a collective salvo, in short, as long as they hit more, there were always so many bullets that could hit the enemy's soldiers and horses.

Therefore, in front of the Yu family's army, the sound of gunfire did not stop for almost a moment, and the shooting continued, knocking the rebels who had begun to turn around and flee to the ground piece by piece.

Yu Xiaotian also realized at this time that the rebel general was killed, at least he might have been seriously injured, otherwise the rebel army would not have collapsed so quickly, so he immediately ordered: "Cavalry company, get on the horse and pursue!" Kill as many as you can! It's better to capture them alive! These guys are good cavalrymen! Tsk, it's a pity to kill them all! ”

Lin Yiyang, who followed Yu Xiaotian, turned his head and glanced at Yu Xiaotian, this guy was still thinking about these shit at this time, with a lewd expression on his face, he smashed his mouth with a slurrel, and looked salivating, so he despised this guy in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak.

The cavalry company was ready to attack at this time, they knew too well the firepower of the infantry phalanx on their side, although there were a lot of rebel cavalry, but in the face of a large formation like them, they could only be beaten, and they would not be able to break through their large formation at all, and they would be defeated sooner or later, so what they had to do was to be ready to attack at any time, ready to pursue the enemy's rout.

Therefore, when the enemy began to charge, they also tightened the saddles of their horses, and were ready to get on their horses, and one by one they hugged their beloved mounts, comforting these their beloved horses, and the war horses listened to the rumbling cannons, and they were all excited, and they snorted vigorously one by one, and kept stepping on the horses' hooves, looking eager to try.
