From a 'theoretical' point of view, it is also beneficial that the first two rows are almost empty, because the first row of people all fall to the ground, and the musketeers in the back suddenly become more visible, and there is no need to wait for the front row to step back or hand over the arquebus, and the people in the back row can just raise their guns and shoot, if there is no fear of human beings, the next round of salvo will empty the second row, and then the next round of the third row......

Well, in this way, the musketeers are not even required to reload, because the soldiers in the front row who fired the shots are basically dead......

Therefore, the new recruits of the Taiping Army, who had been washed by religious fanaticism, were just stunned for a moment after seeing their colleagues in the front row collectively rushing into the street, and subconsciously raised their guns and pulled the trigger on the enemy troops in front.

However, the Polish musket militia is not a group of madmen like the Taiping soldiers, although there are also those old qualifications who react quickly, after the Polish musket militia saw the gun raised on the opposite side, they subconsciously raised the arquebus in their hand that should have been handed over to the 'dead ghost' in the front row, and pulled the trigger to shoot, but more than half of the Polish musket militia were frightened by the tragic scene in front of them!

The physical reaction of these Polish militia friends, who were frightened by the tragic scene, was to turn around and flee to the left, right, and backwards, in short, they couldn't face the muzzle of the gun on the opposite side......

As a result, the second round of passionate firing fired almost simultaneously, the ranks of the Polish musket militia only sprayed a few lead bullets, but the new recruits of the Taiping Army fired another volley!

The results can be imagined......

The first shot can be said to be a defeat for both sides, and even in the narrow city gate hole, the new recruits of the Taiping Army, who were almost crowded, suffered more casualties, as long as it was not the lead bullets that hit the sky and washed the ground, all of them were pierced into human flesh.

But after the second shooting, the new recruits of the Taiping Army only lost a few people, and the influx of soldiers also rushed through the not too deep city gate hole, on the other hand, the Polish musket militia's original shooting queue that neatly blocked the city gate hole has become a pot of porridge!

The officers shouted loudly not to mess around, and even pulled out their knives to chop the deserters, but they still could not avoid the chaotic scene of the Polish musket militia, and those Polish militiamen saw that the people who fled the queue were hacked to death by the officers who supervised the battle, and they were very 'shrewd' to start drilling back in the original queue, anyway, as long as there was someone in front of the muzzle, they could live.

This truth is still very understandable to the Polish militia......

In particular, when all the musketeers of the Taiping Army's new recruits poured into the city gate hole and lined up in two columns to aim at the chaotic queue of Polish musket militia, which was much larger than their own, their own people in the shooting queue of the Polish musket militia were the first to explode.

The daring Polish musket militia almost all died in the first two rounds of fire, and the remaining Polish militiamen, even if they were bold, did not intend to try their luck with their bodies in the face of corpses all over the ground and the muzzles of the black holes on the opposite side......

With a fairly neat salvo sounded, hugging together you pushed me in front, and I drilled into the ranks of Polish musket militia behind you like a meat target, and was beaten into a patch of blood, in this round of volleys, the Polish musket militia on the opposite side did not even shoot a single bullet to resist, and patronized to find the 'bulletproof meat shield'......

After three rounds of shooting, the first to enter the Taiping Army's new recruits and musketeers have already fired, they immediately retreated to both sides of the city gate after shooting, and then, the 40 Taiping Army senior musketeers who followed behind rushed in, divided into two firing phalanxes, and fired two rounds of salvos again at the Polish militia group that had begun to retreat, completely crushing the courage of the Polish musket militia to resist.

After fighting the arquebus bullets in their hands, the senior soldiers of the Taiping Army also retreated to both sides, and finally the new soldiers of the Taiping Army armed with cold weapons poured into the city gate, and rushed to the Polish militia team that had begun to retreat in a large area with a non-stop shout.

The battle of Chengmen Cave was won or lost in just a few minutes, and the original Polish musket militia had an advantage in both numbers and geography, and could not be compared with the new soldiers of the Taiping Army in terms of courage alone, and the result was no suspense......

The city security officer knew very well that there were no fortifications in the town at all, and that taking advantage of the terrain of the city gate cave was the best battlefield to block the small number of Tatar bandits, so he sent all the most capable members of the Polish militia, and in an irresponsible sentence, the Polish militia stationed outside the city gate cave were all 'elite militia'.

It's a pity that the 'elite militia', which was pinned on by the city's prevention and security officials, didn't even support it for ten minutes, and was followed by the Taiping Army's new recruits and cold weapons troops who rushed in from the city gate to the square in the center of the town!

As for the city prevention and security officer who came to the front line to command, in the melee, he was beaten into a sieve by the musketeers of the Taiping Army, and the Polish militia had retreated in a large area, but this city prevention and security officer was still standing in a conspicuous position and shouting and trying to turn the tide.

Mayor Loren received the news of the loss of the city gate as soon as he received the news, and with a heavy face, he summoned all the leaders and faces in the town and their guards.

Mayor Loren stood on the high platform of the town administration hall with a sad and angry face, waving his arms and shouting: "The bloodthirsty and tyrannical Tatar bandits have stormed our homeland, and everyone's shop wealth is here, do you choose to fight the Tatar bandits with me, or hide in your own house and wait for the Tatar bandits to take knives to plunder your wealth and humiliate your wives and daughters?!" ”

The mayor of Loren summoned the most unlikely to surrender to the Tatar bandits in the town, they were not necessarily the local tyrants, but they all had their own property in the town, they had a higher social status than the villagers in the countryside, and they could also rely on their own property to support their families, many of whom were well mixed and even hired a lot of guards and slaves.

Historically, after the city was destroyed, this group of people was the first group of people to be stabbed, for the simple reason that more than ninety percent of the money in the town or city except for the property of the government was in the hands of this group of propertied free citizens, and those poor people who even had a problem with food were too lazy to take care of the plunderers......

Even ordinary bandits would not let go of this group of people, let alone the Tatar bandits who have always been in opposition, and these people naturally understand this in their hearts.

Therefore, as soon as the words of the mayor of Loren came out, they immediately received a response, these propertied people did not care about their identity at this moment, all the men and even the strong women, took up arms and rushed out, they were fighting for themselves!

Although the large town militia had been defeated, the sporadic resistance in the town was fierce because of the Tatars' historical notoriety.
