After the three volleys of the musketeers of the Taiping Army's new recruits, the Polish musket militia on the wall of Tuweizi suddenly fell into chaos and howling.

The confusion was mainly due to the fact that the squad leader of the Polish musket militia on the soil fence and other junior officers were able to take the lead in the streets under the first volley, resulting in many Polish musket militiamen directly losing their command system and becoming soldiers who 'fought for freedom'......

Free combat sounds like it's full of positive energy, but the last thing you need on the battlefield is this kind of freedom!

The Europeans colonized the whole world not by advanced firearms and political systems, but by a strict military system, and the key to maintaining the military system was not by military regulations written on paper, nor by military laws and decrees compiled into popular military songs, but by officers from the bottom to the top!

The reason why modern European armies can continue to fight when the casualty rate is generally more than half is not because of slogans and courage, but because of the quality of officers.

In the modern army of the European continent, the selection criteria for officers and soldiers are two extremes, and the selection of soldiers in the European continent will give priority to the selection of honest people with good health, and later because of the frequent wars and the lack of soldiers, even second-rate people, drunkards, robbers, thieves, robbers, × criminals and other scum at the bottom of the society, have turned into a glorious 'iron rice bowl'.

Of course, this iron rice bowl is not something that can be easily confused by drinking tea and chatting all day long, it is a fatal business, but the greater the danger, the greater the benefit, and many low-level scum soldiers, with the foreign aggression of European countries, grabbed it and called a fat.

At that time, the conquest of the Manchu Empire was a clear example, as soon as the Old Summer Palace was burned, the foreigners who entered the city of Beijing, even the lowest privates, lived a well-off life after returning to China......

In that era when it was a problem for the common class to have enough to eat, it was not possible for ordinary people to live a well-off life!

Even the private can be robbed of a small tyrant, not to mention those officers who take the big head, after these officers from noble backgrounds returned to China, they became the existence of heroes in the family one by one, and the family wealth skyrocketed overnight......

The chaos and 'freedom' on the earthen fence greatly reduced the resistance of the Polish musket militia, and the firepower output decreased exponentially, while on Hong Tiancheng's side, there were constantly new soldiers of the Taiping Army who were sent to the musket team under the city to pick up the arquebuses of the soldiers killed in the battle and keep the firepower from being weakened.

The new soldiers of the Taiping Army, who regarded death as home, shouted the slogan of 'Kill the White Demon to Heaven in their eyes', and stood meticulously under the range of muskets at the head of the city, fearlessly holding their chests up and loading ammunition as if they were training.

The Taiping Army's new recruits disregarded their own lives, or had the courage to die without life, and once again gave the Polish musket militia at the head of the city a critical blow at the spiritual level, as the saying goes, the strong are afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal is afraid of the dead, and standing in front of the Polish musket militia is a group of enemies who do not want to die!

The Polish musket militia, whose emotions were gradually eroded by 'negative energy', began to make a lot of mistakes when loading, and some Polish musket militiamen even shot the ram along with the ammunition, so you can imagine where this bullet would hit......

What's more, I don't know if he was scared stupid, after completing the loading steps that he didn't even know, he mechanically raised the gun and pulled the trigger, and then the gun didn't go off, so he put it up again to load the ammunition, as if he was practicing against the mold, and the fire rope on the bolt had long been burned out without seeing it......

Under the influence of the other, the Polish musket militia at the head of the city continued to fall in the fire, but the casualties of the new recruits of the Taiping Army were getting fewer and fewer!

When Hong Tiancheng felt that it was about the same, he instructed the heralds beside him: "Let the senior musketeers come forward and comprehensively suppress the opponent's firepower." ”

The senior musketeers of the Taiping Army were the treasures in Hong Tiancheng's eyes, and they were reluctant to die, so after the new soldiers of the Taiping Army slowly suppressed the firepower of the city, 40 senior musketeers of the Taiping Army were dispatched.

The already suppressed Polish musket militia, after the veteran musketeers of the Taiping Army, who had more accurate marksmanship and higher loading efficiency, joined the war group, and the Polish musket militia standing at the head of the city disappeared after only two volleys......

In fact, the new recruits of the Taiping Army seemed to be brave and fearless in raising their guns, but their marksmanship was not much better than those of the old Polish musket militia, and later generations generally believed that smoothbore guns could not be aimed, this idea was wrong, as long as the distance was close enough, aiming at a target as large as the human body could still be shot.

In the history of the earth, some countries have even used smoothbore guns to form sniper skirmishers to snipe individual enemy soldiers!

The Austrian skirmishers used smoothbore guns.

Therefore, the confrontation between the new recruits of the Taiping Army and the Polish musket militia seems to be a magnificent mess, the gunfire has not stopped, but there are not many people who are really killed, and the Polish musket militia at the head of the city is more numerous, more densely stationed, and has worse military quality, so there are more people who are shot, but it is far from being completely suppressed.

However, when the veteran musketeers of the Taiping Army joined, the Polish musket militia on the earthen fence at the head of the city were shot one after another, and the already poor morale finally collapsed, and the head of the city, which was considered a death zone, was withdrawn.

Although the sheriffs in the towns tried their best to boost morale, the militia could no longer muster the courage to go up and die in front of the corpses lying densely on the earthen fence......

If, according to the normal exchange ratio, all the Polish musket militia were not afraid of death, even if they fought badly, they could still kill more than half of the Taiping army, but unfortunately, all this is just a beautiful fantasy.

After the soldiers on the town's earthen fence were repulsed, the Taiping musketeers quickly spread out into a firing line, raising their guns to aim at the top of the earthen fence, and anyone who showed their head would be baptized with lead bullets.

Kaspersky's mouth seemed to be stuffed into a goose egg, standing beside Hong Tiancheng, he never expected that in less than an hour of musket fire, the large number of town militia would give up the defense of Tuweizi!

Is it because the Taiping army is too capable of fighting, or are the urban militia greedy for life and afraid of death?

"Now that the head of the city has been controlled by our musketeers, it should be safe for you to shout, tell the people in the town that there is still a chance to survive if you surrender immediately, otherwise the chickens and dogs will not be left!" Hong Tiancheng confidently ordered Kaspersky.
