The breakthrough of the Polish soldiers in other directions of the town of Beshew was relatively smooth, because there were not too many senior musketeers of the Taiping Army guarding there, but the main force led by Krysztof was struggling, fighting with the Taiping musketeers for every house and every block!

When the elite main force led by Kresztof broke through to the periphery of the square in the town of Beshew, the core of the Polish hussars was less than a thousand, and the other Polish infantry and Polish cavalry that followed were seriously attrition!

You know, Krysztof concentrated the highest quality of the remaining Polish army, and even so, they still paid more than 2 to 1 to attack here, and if the soldiers of the defending side in the street battle really made up their minds to die, the lethality caused was really appalling.

Krysztof looked at the square of the town of Beshev, where his vision had become wider, and suddenly felt that victory was already in sight, because there were not many Taiping musketeers arranged in the square.

"Hmph, Hong Tiancheng's men are estimated to be almost dead, warriors, let's give this group of Tatars who are still alive and breathing the final blow!"

"Long live Greater Poland!!

As the flag bearer raised the crown flag of the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania fluttered in the wind, the Polish hussars were in front, and the other elite infantry were hula and charged towards the square with a wide field of vision.

However, as the distance approached, Krysztoff's expression became more and more ugly, because he found that the few Taiping musketeers stationed in the square on the opposite side did not fire, but looked calm and straight like a statue, watching the Polish army stride close!

As a battle-hardened general, Krysztof naturally knew that the closer the musket was, the more lethal it would be, but the soldiers' mental endurance was limited, and they couldn't wait to fire from a distance just when they saw a figure, how many of them could bear to put the enemy in front of them and shoot?

Before, the Taiping Army only used conventional shooting tactics, and Krysztof had not noticed anything, but at this moment, in the face of the calm and indifferent Taiping Army musketeers, Krysztof really realized the horror of this group of Taiping Army madmen!

Religious fanatics, although troublesome, are nothing in the eyes of real military commanders, because they do not know how to fight and only know how to charge without brains.

But a group of religious fanatics with iron-clad combat discipline was terrifying, and the Ottoman Turks were able to force the entire Christian world to confront it precisely because of the tactics and fanatical religious morale of its elite Ottoman Janissaries.

As Krysztof had expected, when the Polish hussars in the vanguard approached less than 20 meters from the Taiping musketeers in the square, a volley suddenly came from the opposite side.

The elite musketeers of the Taiping Army in the square held flintlock muskets, squatted in the front row, stood upright in the back and opened fire together, and at such a close distance, they almost missed a shot into the pile of Polish hussars!

Of course, this kind of close-range salvo is a blow to morale and the lethality of the soldiers, but the high morale of the Polish hussars is not enough to collapse under a salvo, and they also think in their hearts that there is only one salvo opportunity on the opposite side, and the distance of less than 20 meters is not enough for them to hit a second salvo!

However, after the volley of the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army stationed below the square, the windows and improvised chiseled firing ports of the towers in the center of the town in the rear suddenly stretched out densely with muzzles, spraying pieces of projectiles at the humans diagonally below!

More than 400 elite musketeers of the Taiping Army were all arranged here by Hong Tiancheng, and the firepower output that broke out at close range was completely beyond the cognition of the Polish hussars, who had never seen such fierce firepower when they were so big.

It's so close!

The Polish hussars felt like a prisoner being shot on the execution ground, shot with lead bullets from the muzzle to the chest!

In fact, the reality is much the same......

The first few rows of Polish hussars were knocked down like wheat under the continuous volley of more than 400 elite musketeers of the Taiping Army, and a large area was emptied in an instant.

The Polish soldiers who were charging were completely blinded for a while, in an instinctive attachment to life, and the soldiers behind couldn't help but stop, avoiding the death zone in front, but the soldiers in the rear couldn't see the Shura field in front of them, and they were still crowded forward under the momentum of the charge.

After such a blockage, the front and back were counteracted, and the Polish military formation immediately became chaotic, and the momentum of the charge slowed down suddenly, and many Polish soldiers who witnessed the scene of the friendly troops in front of them falling in pieces, after reacting, turned around and squeezed backwards, adding to the confusion of the charging formation.

On the other hand, the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army on the opposite side were meticulously loaded with ammunition, and they did not even glance at the Polish soldiers crowded in front of them.

The biggest advantage of the flintlock pistol corresponding to the arquebus is vividly reflected at this moment, the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army are the most skilled flintlock musketeers, coupled with excellent psychological quality, the flintlock pistol perfectly plays the firing frequency of 2 to 3 rounds a minute.

When the second round of alternating salvos came, the momentum of the Polish soldiers' charge was completely crushed, and Krysztoff, who was standing behind, was stunned to look at the 'elite' of his own side that had been broken down in just a few minutes, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"Oh! My God! That's impossible! Overseer Warband! Where's the Warlord?! ”

"General, we are defeated, let's withdraw quickly, the Taiping army has changed into hand-to-hand weapons and fought back!"

Unable to accept the fact of defeat, Krysztof was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at the battlefield in the town square again, he found that the Taiping musketeers in the square had changed their swords and hung at the end of the collapsed Polish soldiers, slashing wildly.

The Taiping shooters in the center of the town turned on the free-fire mode, wantonly slaughtering the scattered Polish soldiers in the square.

At the same time, many elite musketeers of the Taiping Army poured out from the center of the town, drawing their melee cold weapons and joining the pursuit.

Krysztof turned his head with a sad face, biting his bloodstained lip and holding back two words: "Retreat!" ”

The Polish hussars, who rushed to the forefront, lost more than two-thirds of their lives in the first two volleys in an instant, and were frightened away, not to mention morale, and even their faith in battle was violently shaken.

Hong Tiancheng naturally would not let go of the opportunity to beat the water dogs, and after the Polish army retreated from the town square, he sent out all his elite musketeer battalions of the Taiping Army, creating a momentum of all-out counteroffensive!

Hong Tiancheng, who had gathered a large number of Polish hussars in the town square, regained his self-confidence and resolutely launched a major counteroffensive, as long as he won the battle, he could be compensated for all the losses in this battle from the all-out war system!
