Bang bang bang......

The private's musket fired, and the ping-pong was happy, but the hit rate was zero, and the distance was too far to be within effective range, but it still brought a certain incentive to the charging companions.

"Kill......"

The private soldiers roared and charged again, the first rows were shield soldiers, and the back were holding various weapons, running forward in the mud, and some of them accidentally fell and became mud figures when they got up.

"Fire!"

After the fortifications were built from cloth bags filled with wet mud and sand, the officers in front of the battle shouted loudly.

Bang bang bang –

The soldiers who were waiting for the battle shot a wave of guns, and the shield soldiers who rushed to the front screamed and fell, and they couldn't understand until they died, why the shields that could block the arrows were useless.

"The second team stepped forward and opened fire."

Under the command of the officer, the soldiers of the independent battalion of the Royal Guards advanced and retreated in a very orderly manner, firing wave after wave of guns, several rounds of bombardment, the charging private soldiers fell one after another, the muddy ground was covered with corpses of various appearances, and a large number of wounded soldiers who were struggling and howling, and the mud was stained red with blood.

These private soldiers are more sophisticated in weapons and equipment than ordinary local government soldiers, but they have not received much training, and it may be okay to fight a good battle, but it is unbearable to fight this kind of tough battle, seeing the corpses all over the ground and the wounded soldiers who are shouting, the rest are so frightened that they are colorless, and they all desperately flee back.

"Don't retreat, violators will be killed!"

The Donglin Party boss who commanded the troops roared loudly and ordered the supervising team to cut down the soldiers who dared to retreat, and after the supervising team slashed and killed more than 20 deserters, the chaotic situation was finally stabilized.

"Cannons, where are our cannons? Hurry up! ”

Four bulky homemade earthen cannons were laboriously lifted up, and the gunners loaded gunpowder, inserted solid iron bullets from the muzzles, lit the fuses, ran to the side, crouched down, and covered their ears with their hands.

Boom –

With a deafening loud bang, the solid iron bullet came out of its chamber and shot into the barracks opposite, knocking down a watchtower in the camp, causing all the private soldiers to cheer, and the originally reduced morale was boosted again.

"Attack."

The Donglin Party boss ordered the attack again, this time, he ordered the shield men to cover the musketeers and archers to press forward and release their arrows and guns, suppress the enemy, and cover the charging of the soldiers.

"The target is so dense."

Behind the fortifications of the fourth line of defense, several senior officers who were watching the battle with monoculars seemed to be muttering to themselves, and as if they were saying to Gao Jie, the commander who was standing next to the battle, that the targets were dense, and if the bombardier was allowed to throw the thunder, it would definitely blow up crookedly, but unfortunately Gao Shuai ordered that the thunder should not be used.

Gao Jie has been holding a monocular to observe, and the complaints of his subordinates should only be inaudible, such a dense target, why don't he want to use the powerful thunder, but he is afraid that he will fight too hard and scare away the rebel army.

He turned his head to look up at the sky, and what about the wolf smoke? What about the wolf smoke that was said to be good? Why haven't you seen the signal yet?

Boom, boom, boom -

The four earthen cannons of the private army roared continuously, saying that it was continuous, but in fact, there was an interval of nearly ten minutes, and after a shot, the slag in the gun chamber had to be cleaned up before it could be loaded with gunpowder, otherwise it might cause an explosion.

No, the other earthen cannon next to it, because it was too urgent by the commander, the residue was not cleaned up and the gunpowder was discharged, and the consequence was that the bore was blown up, the gunner was blown up into human shape, and the cannon was also damaged, but fortunately it did not affect the gunpowder piled up next to it, otherwise it would have been even worse.

This kind of old cannon can be regarded as a cannon at best, the sound of the cannon is rumbling and deafening, which can not only inspire the morale of the soldiers of the party, but also shock the enemy and kill and injure the enemy, and the effect is not small.

After several rounds of shelling, the solid iron bullets still killed two rebel soldiers, collapsed two watchtowers, and injured a dozen, and the results were so-so, which was better than those musketeers with zero records.

Bows and muskets are long-range weapons, but they must be effective in order to be effective, and they must be accurate, so the private army's musket guns are tragic, they are under the cover of shield soldiers, they rush forward, and after firing a shot, they are scrambling to reload ammunition.

Before the ammunition was loaded, the buddies on the opposite side had already shot out three waves of guns, and all the shield soldiers in the front were shot down, and when they loaded the ammunition, the fourth wave of guns had been shot on the opposite side, and the dense rain of bullets hit the human body, blowing up a puff of blood, and those private soldiers fell down with a scream, and when the sixth wave of guns rang out, almost all the musketeers of the private army fell, and the remaining dozens were so frightened that they threw the muskets in their hands, turned around and fled, and finally were cut down by the warlords.

The archers were better, the rate of fire was quite fast, and the rain of arrows still wounded dozens of soldiers, and the soldiers of the Royal Guards Independent Battalion wore field iron helmets, and two iron plates were placed on the chest and back of the tactical vests, blocking the vital parts, most of them were arrows in the shoulders and arms, and were carried down by the field medics for treatment.

There is no shield soldier in front to cover as cannon fodder, these archers can only shoot a few rounds of arrow rain, the good luck is over, in the death net built by the dense bullet rain, no creature can be spared, the remaining archers are so frightened that they hurriedly retreat, stand far away and release the arrows, whether they can shoot the enemy on the opposite side, they don't care, as long as they don't run back, they will be all right if they are cut down by the warlords.

Although the private army suffered heavy casualties, under the pressure of the warlords, they had to attack again.

"Let the brothers abandon their positions and retreat."

After three waves of guns were fired, and a lot of private soldiers were shot down, Gao Jie ordered to give up the third line of defense and withdraw to the fourth line of defense to hold on, which is also the last line of defense, and it can't be withdrawn anymore.

A burst of cheers erupted in the private army's formation, and under their brave charge one after another, they finally broke through the other line of defense of the rebels, and for a while, the originally low soldiers were once again boosted.

"Rush, keep rushing, take the last line of defense in one go!" The boss of the Donglin Party who commanded the troops was also in high spirits, waving his long sword and roaring, the last line of defense, brothers, work hard, destroy the rebels on the opposite side, and the old man will be rewarded. Well, reward you with a glass of poisonous wine, don't blame the old man for being ruthless, who let you know too much.

The morale-boosting private soldiers carried the spirit of the winning streak, roared and launched a charge, wanting to break through the last line of defense of the rebels in one go, and the private soldiers in the rear were also desperately pushing the remaining three bulky earthen cannons forward, the range of the self-made earthen cannons was much more than the official Franc machine cannon slag, the range was not too far, and it had to enter the range of the cannonballs to be effective.

Bang –

On a high platform made of wet mud and sand and reinforced with wooden stakes, a sniper shot and killed a private army leader, while the assistant in charge of observation next to him desperately waved a small red flag, and he saw three thick clouds of smoke rising from the rear in the distance, and hurriedly signaled.

"Wolf smoke, haha, handsome, wolf smoke is coming."

Several senior officers saw the red flag waving on the high platform, and at the same time saw three clouds of smoke rushing into the sky, all of them shouted happily, grandma is a bear, the signal to fight back has finally come, this battle has been fought too aggrieved, and now they can finally let go.
