Boom ~ Boom ~ Boom......

A loud bang came from the city gates, like a death knell's hammer, and slammed into the hearts of the armed Polish militiamen in the town.

After accepting the notion that the Tatar bandits outside would not be left behind, the Polish militia finally understood the cruel fact that 'the city is in the people' and regained their resolve to resist.

However, determination is one thing, and it is another thing to go up to the city to face the enemy's buckshot......

No one in the Polish militia in the town was willing to go up to die, only prayed that time would pass quickly, and when it was dark the Taiping army retreated, they would retake the city.

Even the battlements on the earthen fence were not repaired, and even if the Polish militia tried to sneak up on it, it was difficult to guarantee that they would not be shot......

In fact, the town's earthen fence was nothing more than an obstacle to prevent cavalry charges, and the earthen fence was more than three meters high, enough to stop any cavalry.

However, when the city gate made a violent bang, the Polish militia could no longer sit still, and many of the more courageous Polish militiamen ganged up, and drove majestically to the city under the 'gratifying' gaze of the mayor of Loren.

Then, the musket team of the Taiping Army, which had been waiting for a long time, had to work again, and the roar of muskets rang out one after another, and one after another the Polish militiamen who walked up to the city with their chests held out screamed and fell down again......

Even a lot of Polish musket militiamen who were killed, not a single shot was fired!

They were completely stunned by the sudden burst of musket fire, everywhere there were a flurry of lead bullets and lead bullets hitting the debris of the earthen wall, and the smoke of gunpowder even drifted up to the city with the breeze, and the Taiping Army musket team under the city lined up to fire like target training!

Those veteran musketeers of the Taiping Army were even more incredible, they completely played the feeling of 'accurate shooting'......

This really killed the bloody brave men of the Polish militia, who felt like they were adding fuel to the tactics, and the last batch died in the last batch, and it became extremely difficult to even fire the first shot!

This is the advantage of the side that aims first, especially the aiming strength of the senior musketeers of the Taiping Army, which makes the Polish militia feel desperate!

It didn't take long for the Polish militia to stop trying this senseless act of sending to death, and most of the hope in the eyes of Mayor Loren had disappeared, he didn't know how to fight, but simply thought that as long as these worthless militiamen had the courage to rush to the city, they could win back a game, after all, their own militia still had an advantage in numbers, even if there were more than 300 corpses lying up and down the soil fence now, the Polish militia still occupied the advantage in numbers!

Contrary to Kaspersky's expectations, the population of the town is far more than a thousand, and the population of the entire town has already exceeded the 3,000 mark due to the influx of large and even armed villagers in the surrounding area, as well as the migration of Polish refugees who have been bullied by Ukrainian Cossacks around the city of Kyiv.

In this era when as long as men have to take up arms and become militiamen, the mayor of Loren has selected more than 500 men from the refugees to serve as militiamen, and among the people who can survive the escape, the proportion of young and strong men is still quite large.

Moreover, the average age of civilians in this era is only about 30 years old, and men who seem to be old are actually in their 30s, and they can take up arms and go to the battlefield as 'cannon fodder'!

Therefore, there is no shortage of lean old men in their 30s in the Polish militia, and the mayor of Loren does not need to conduct so-called military training for these people, they are not regular troops, as long as they can swing the sickle and pull the trigger, it is enough.

After the last wave of Polish militia was bombed off the city, the remaining Polish militia no longer dared to fight for the 'right to garrison' the city, and could only raise their weapons with desperate faces and aim at the cracked wooden city gate.

Among the surviving Polish musket militia, the most accurate person was already standing directly opposite the city gate, and the mayor of Loren did not know how to fight, but the city security officer still understood, he himself was a retired officer.

Under the sheriff's order, the Polish musket militia formed more than a dozen columns of round-fire at a 'safe distance' directly opposite the city gate, descending from the first row to the back according to the musket shooting proficiency, with the first row responsible for shooting and the men behind for loading.

In this way, the Polish musket militia did not have to change queues, which they did not understand at all, but simply stood in place and performed their duties, and the shooter in front died, and the people in the second row went up.

This mechanism of round-fire arquebuses is the most suitable combat method for militia musketeers in actual combat, because it has very low requirements for formation, and the emotions of the soldiers on the battlefield are very nervous......

This is the reason why the shooting queue of the European Army team simplifies the array change behavior when shooting as much as possible, and it is also the reason why the modern European Army emphasizes taking the correct step in the queue.

As the city gate broke with a loud bang, a loud cheer suddenly broke out outside the city gate, and the musket team composed of the newly recruited soldiers of the Taiping Army rushed in in the smoke and dust with a fanatical shout in a firing queue!

"Kill the White Demon and go to Heaven!"

"Fire !!"

The new recruits of the Taiping Army who rushed into the city gate immediately saw the Polish musket militia lined up in a neat musket firing phalanx on the opposite side, and subconsciously raised the gun to the general direction and pulled the trigger, and the fire rope on the bolt suddenly entered the medicine room, and after a delay of half a second to a second, the lead bullet rushed out of the barrel of the gun under the power of the black powder explosion and shot into the soft and tough human body!

At the same time, the Polish musket militia, which had been waiting behind the city gate, sprayed a piece of fire almost at the same time, and the two sides were at a distance of less than 30 meters, so face to face came to a passionate fire, so close to the distance, the soldiers on both sides of the same horizontal line basically could not have missed, and completed more than eighty percent of the hit rate!

In just a few seconds, whether it was the first platoon of the Polish musket militia or the first platoon of the Taiping Army's new conscripted musket team, they all fell backwards and even flew up to the ground.

Because many soldiers were hit by more than one lead bullet, the huge kinetic energy directly brought the entire human body up!

All of a sudden, the broken city gate was filled with gunpowder smoke and sprayed bright red blood, the first row was all killed, and the second and third rows also had unlucky eggs fall to the ground at the same time, this kind of close-range shooting is the correct 'way to open' the musket to exert its maximum power!
