"First row, shoot." The officer in front of the formation slashed down with his iron sword and shouted loudly.

The sound of ping-pong gunfire was accompanied by bursts of choking gunsmoke, and the approaching Jin soldiers fell down with a scream, the muskets of these years were not very powerful, they did not hit the vital point, and they basically would not hang up on the spot, but the terrible howl of lying down in a pool of blood and struggling and shouting was even more terrifying.

The Jin army general who was charging forward was draped in several layers of heavy armor that could withstand swords and arrows, and was shot in the chest and abdomen, and the lead bullet did not penetrate the heavy armor, but the powerful impact kinetic energy shattered all his internal organs.

He knelt on his knees, looked down at his chest and abdomen, and the heavy armor obviously blocked the bullet, but ...... But...... Why is it still injured?

He fell on his back, his eyes wide open, and he didn't understand the reason until he died.

"Shoot."

In the Ming army formation, under the order of the officers, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were trained as usual, the soldiers in the first row immediately retreated after putting their guns and quickly loaded their ammunition, and the soldiers in the second row stepped forward, knelt on one knee, lit the fuse with the fire rope, and then raised their guns to aim at the rushing target.

Under the guidance of Zhu Jian, the elites of the Academy of Science and Technology have developed a rear-loading pistol, and have been mass-produced, but due to the backwardness of science and technology, production equipment and other reasons, the output is so low that the output is fatally low, even if the input cost, increase the production line and workers, day and night, only make a thousand rear-loading pistols, the snipers of the hunter battalion are the first to give priority, followed by the Phoenix Legion under the command of Lu Hongniang.

Although Li Xin and Cao Bianjiao have hot eyes, they can't help it, the output is too low, the wolves are more and less meaty, and they are really not enough to distribute, and the three armies are too scattered to highlight the power of the rear-loading rifle rapid fire, it is better to use it intensively, Lu Shuai is the favorite concubine of the Son of Heaven, and it is normal for the Phoenix Legion to give priority to equipment, not to mention that the training intensity of the Phoenix Legion is not weaker than theirs, and it is also a strong army in the true sense.

The rear-loading pistol has been mass-produced, and sooner or later it will be their turn to load, and they are not in a hurry for a while, the two of them can still see it, and the current front-loading Lu Mi gun is already very sophisticated, and the training of loading ammunition during usual training can still increase the rate of fire, not to mention that the paper cartridge shells are now used, and the speed of loading ammunition is N seconds faster than before.

In addition to the training of queues and physical fitness, the three new armies in peacetime are trained in the speed of loading ammunition, and those who do not meet the standard will be punished for cleaning the latrines or halved their food, and those who exceed the standard will be rewarded with various rewards, such as silver rewards, increased food, and holidays, forcing everyone to train desperately to exceed the training standards, and at worst they must meet the standards.

Practice loading ammunition is to increase the rate of fire, practice three or four sections of line up shooting is to train battlefield coordination and tacit understanding, if there is a mistake, the coordination is not good, not only affects the integrity of the formation, but also affects the rate of fire, on the battlefield, sometimes the slightest mistake is fatal.

In order to temper and enhance the soldiers' perseverance in the face of danger, Zhu Jian also transferred the horse team, imitating the Jin Army's iron cavalry rushing into battle, the rumbling iron hooves and the terrifying momentum of destroying all creatures in the world when thousands of troops and horses galloped at the same time really made people frightened, and the soldiers were really frightened when they first received training.

Of course, this kind of training is very dangerous, the equestrian skills are not perfect, the war horse is not well controlled, it will inevitably cause disability, the slightly injured will return to the team after being healed, and the disabled will be treated as injured in the line of fire, and a pension will be paid, and appropriate work will be arranged according to the disability.

It is precisely because of such a proper arrangement that the soldiers' initial worries have disappeared, they have no worries, they are no longer afraid during training, and even if they are so nervous that their faces are pale and bloodless, they can grit their teeth and hold on, so as not to cause the collapse of the battle formation, and then cause the rout of the whole army.

It is precisely because of these hellish intensive training and sophisticated weapons and equipment that Li Xin has the courage and confidence to fight a field battle with the Jin army.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion only fired two rounds of guns, and almost all of the more than 200 gold soldiers who attacked lay down, and only two or three people with super luck were so frightened that they turned around and fled.

In the center of the square, Li Xin, who was standing in the carriage, held a monocular to observe the enemy's situation, and saw that the cavalry of the Jin Army in the distance was ready to attack, the corners of his lips were slightly curled, and a faint smile escaped, and he ordered the whole army to advance slowly, keeping the formation intact, until it exceeded the range of the Franc machine gun more than ten paces away.

This general uses his body as bait, and there is a kind of coming to hit me, come, see if your iron cavalry is powerful or the musket of my Shenji battalion is powerful?

"Attack!"

In the formation of the Jin army, the three thousand cavalry were already ready to attack, with the commander's order, the warriors immediately urged their mounts, like a flood without embankment, surging towards the three defensive phalanxes of the Shenji battalion, the rumbling iron hooves almost broke people's hearts, thick smoke billowed out, covering the sky and the sun, and the earth shook for it.

When there was still a certain distance, the two thousand iron horsemen divided left and right, circled to the sides, and attacked the two wings of the Shenji Battalion respectively.

"Stop moving forward and change formations."

Li Xin quickly made adjustments and ordered the phalanx in front to stop advancing, and the two phalanxes in the rear moved forward to form a verbal formation, encircling the medical guards, logistics auxiliaries, and baggage in the center.

The first battle was on the front, and when the iron cavalry of the 1,000-gold army charged from the front, and when it was about to enter the range of the cavalry bow, the warrior riding on the high-headed war horse took off the cavalry bow, stretched out the bow and arrows, and prepared to shoot.

"Steady, steady for me, like the usual training, don't be afraid, our Lumi guns have a long range and enough firepower, let's beat them first, and then we will fight like just now, steady, listen to my orders and shoot again."

In the Ming army formation, the officers shouted loudly, and kept cheering up their subordinates to stabilize the military heart and formation, in fact, they themselves were also so nervous, even the voice when shouting was a little out of tune, it is true that they often receive such training, but after all, it is just training, and the cavalry will not really rush into battle, but now on the battlefield, the Jin Army Iron Cavalry not only really rushes into battle, but also uses knives to cut people.

"Listen to me, first row, squat."

With the officer's loud order, the officers and men of the Shenji Battalion standing in the first row squatted down in unison, holding a gun in one hand and a lit fire rope in the other, ready to shoot.

Everyone was so nervous that they were sweating all over, their palms were wet with sweat, their faces were pale, and their hearts were beating wildly, but no one screamed in fright, and they all gritted their teeth and held on.

"First platoon, listen to me, shoot."

Ping-pong gunshots rang out, and choking clouds of gunpowder smoke rose from the front of the Shenji Battalion.

On the opposite side, the warriors of the Jin Army who were charging at the forefront had not had time to shoot the powerful arrows in their hands, and suddenly felt a violent shock to their bodies, followed by a sharp pain in their hearts, screaming and falling from their horses, and most of them were stepping down from the war horses with a long neighing sound, rumbling and falling, throwing the knights on their backs away, or pressing them under their bodies, all of them broke their hands and feet, and lay on the grass wailing.

With the second round of gunfire, the frontal charging Jin army iron cavalry scrambled to the first game and fell, and when the third round of gunfire rang out, the entire high-speed charging cavalry formation was cut off the front three layers, and the ground was full of human corpses and horse corpses, most of them were only injured, but they let out a terrible howl because of the severe pain.

The iron cavalry of the Jin Army is indeed fierce, they braved the rain of bullets and bullets to charge bravely, one after another, so that Li Xin, who was in command in the formation, couldn't help but praise, such an opponent is indeed awe-inspiring.
