Chapter 0401: War Changed
The ranks of the white pole soldiers were slowly advancing, and the brilliance of the military formation was strengthening their combat effectiveness. At the back of the queue, Shi Zhu Du Si Shu, a Ming general from the second rank, Qin Bangping, who was nearly fifty years old, was frowning and staring ahead. Through the gap in the gunfire, he could see the anti-thieves standing still on the opposite side - it was a group of female soldiers?
"Is the specialty of this Zhou's anti-thief a female soldier?"
Qin Bangping rushed all the way from Sichuan to Liaodong, made a circle and ran to Tianjin. has seen a lot of regional differences in a large span, and he is not very surprised that women go into battle. Not to mention the anti-thief female general who can fly just now, even his sister is a famous heroine - if a woman can go into battle, it must be extraordinary and must not be taken lightly.
But the female soldiers on the other side were really beyond Qin Bangping's imagination. They were neatly lined up, calm and serious, and they looked like they were well-trained, which was rare among male soldiers. The weapons they use are even more special, and the fire gun is used as scrap metal in the Ming army, and it will explode with one shot, and its notoriety is far and wide. But all of these female soldiers use firearms.
Compared with the general laxity of armament of the Ming army, the combat effectiveness of the border army and the Tusi army was much higher. Qin Bangping's official rank is not low but he is willing to go into battle in person, he stepped on the back of a white pole soldier and got up to look, about to estimate the strength of the opposite side. Waiting for the distance between the two sides to close to within twenty meters, he began to urge the entire gun array to move forward quickly and launch an assault.
Seeing that there was a group of women on the other side, the white-pole soldiers, who were generally slaves, were also quite excited, and even thought that if these women could be snatched up, it would be a pity to kill them. However, just as they accelerated to the final stage of their sprint, there was a shout of 'fire' from the opposite side, and a thumping projectile flew in.
With a distance of less than twenty meters, no matter how bad the accuracy is, you can hit it. Fifteen buckshot bullets slammed into the white pole soldier's gun formation with a scorching breath. The light of the cyan army formation was slightly wavering, unmoved, and resisted this attack. The white pole soldiers in the front row also felt that the impact launched by their own side was slightly blocked, and there was no other way.
Zhou Qingfeng did not fire, he would squat on a courtyard wall next to Dongdajie with a flintlock pistol on his waist, so as to gain a good command vision. A Tianjin family in the courtyard wall didn't have time to escape, and was trembling hugging each other, looking at the guy who appeared inexplicably on the wall of his house in horror. He glanced at the people of this troubled world, and once again focused his attention on the white-pole soldiers opposite.
The first round of fire did not work well, and the female soldier who had finished shooting turned around and walked backwards through the gap in the queue. The female soldiers in the second row stepped forward and took a shot, and Zhou Qingfeng immediately ordered a correction: "Step back and shoot." ”
The female soldiers in the second row immediately stopped, raised their guns and took aim forward, then pulled the trigger, and there was another thumping gunshot. The female soldiers who have finished shooting keep moving backwards, and the female soldiers in the next row do not move forward, trying to maintain a distance from the enemy.
The white pole soldiers on the opposite side were still trying to accelerate the impact, but every once or two breaths, more than a dozen buckshot bullets were fired from the opposite side, and each time they could cancel out their energetic momentum. Qin Bangping, who was commanding at the rear, used the defense of the military formation to resist waves of lead bullets on the opposite side, but he couldn't move forward a few steps after fighting for a long time. The whole process was very uncomfortable because I couldn't fight back just by being beaten.
Qin Bangping has been fighting for so many years, and he has never encountered such a situation. The female soldier on the opposite side fired mechanically, turned around, retreated, and fired again, endlessly. After more than a dozen rounds, the white pole soldiers, who are good at patience, are still gritting their teeth and taking steps, and the momentum of progress has been completely weakened, and it is difficult to advance an inch. The light of the military array is slowly thinning, which is not a good sign.
The queue of female soldiers slowly moved back, and Zhou Qingfeng stared coldly at the heavily armored spearmen opposite. This is indeed a very patient force that can withstand heavy pressure. No wonder they were undefeated in the battle with Jiannu, and finally forced Nurhachi to bring in artillery to blast their formation.
At present, Zhou Qingfeng has no artillery, and the artillerymen who went to transport shells will not be able to return for half a day. Zhou Qingfeng could only rely on the female soldiers who kept shooting to weaken the opponent. But at this moment, the triplane flew over his head, and then circled in the sky north of Tianjin. He cursed 'damn it' in a low voice, and then shouted to the pro-troops behind the array: "Let the cavalry take a detour to the north of the city." ”
Although he blamed himself for not being able to find this group of powerful enemies, Zhou Qingfeng clearly remembered that he sent scouts to search the entire Tianjin area. But this group of white pole soldiers came inexplicably, and the follow-up Ming army was also amazing, but the scouts did not react.
"In addition to the fire phoenix, I'm afraid that the enemy will have a powerful character coming. Otherwise, Lao Tzu's cavalry would not have had no news at all. This group of white-pole soldiers must be repelled as soon as possible, and there is no time to entangle with them. ”
The battle situation was urgent, and Zhou Qingfeng gave the order again, "Two rows of volleys." ”
The original single row of guns immediately changed, the female soldiers in the front row squatted, and the back row stood according to the guns.
"Fire."
Bang bang bang......
Firepower output doubled.
The white pole soldier formation was already overwhelmed by the platoon of guns, and he was irritable. The firepower suffered suddenly doubled, and Qin Bangping, who was in command at the rear, could not control it for a while, and the defense of the military formation was instantly weakened and loopholes appeared. The defensive glow of the heavy spearmen reached a dangerous point.
To be bad!
Qin Bangping didn't expect that the opponent would be able to burst out twice the attack output while fighting, or if it exploded, there was no sign at all, and it seemed extremely casual. He immediately urged the spiritual power in his body to the extreme, and at the same time shouted and shouted to boost the fighting spirit of the soldiers. The cyan brilliance of the entire array began to gradually increase again, filling in the weakened parts.
Just when the toast veteran felt that he had survived this catastrophe, Zhou Qingfeng on the opposite side sneered contemptuously, and changed the order again: "Three rows of salvos." ”
The female soldiers who finished shooting retreated and reloaded, and the new platoon of female soldiers immediately fell to the ground after listening to the order, the second row squatted, and the third row stood with guns.
Fire!
The banging of gunfire was deafening.
The white pole soldier on the opposite side was just in shock, and this time he suffered a critical hit. The firepower of the three rows of salvos intensified again, Qin Bangping could no longer hold on, and the defense of the army formation was immediately broken. Dozens of lead bullets whistled in, directly sweeping away all the heavily armored spearmen in the front row.
There was a terrible sound, and blood splashed.
Qin Bangping, who was commanding in the back, was shocked and shouted: "Rush forward!" ”
Without the defense of the military formation, the heavy armor that the white pole soldiers were proud of did not play any defensive role. They face an extremely dangerous situation, and they have to close the distance to win. After the front row was swept away by lead bullets, the heavy spearmen in the back row finally could not continue to keep calm, and they rushed forward with white-pole spears howling. But it was only a dozen meters, and they couldn't rush up.
Bang bang bang......
The sound of the platoon gun is furious and indifferent, it is both inherently powerful and mechanically monotonous. The female soldiers with firearms have all finished one round, but they have already finished the next round of reloading. By constantly retreating, they always keep a certain distance from the enemy, and just such a small distance can determine life and death, victory and defeat.
A row of gunshots rang out, and a platoon of gunmen fell; Another line of gunmen stepped forward, and another row of gunfire erupted.
No matter how tenacious, how explosive, and how hard the white pole soldiers were, the corpses of their colleagues under their feet just accumulated. When they arrived, not only did they not advance, but because there were too many dead men, they seemed to be retreating in formation—on the not very spacious East Street of Tianjin, the advancing spearmen had fallen.
Qin Bangping was originally standing behind several rows of spearmen array, but after a few rounds of fighting, he actually became forward. In the face of this unreasonable heavy casualty, the white pole soldiers under his command began to disobey orders, hesitated, and did not dare to charge forward fearlessly—this was something that had never happened before.
Qin Bangping couldn't keep calm anymore, he pulled out his waist knife and waved it high, threatening and intimidating the soldiers behind him to continue to attack. But his posture was always too conspicuous, and before he could cheer up the white pole soldiers, the flintlock pistol in Zhou Qingfeng's hand had already aimed at him.
Ye Na's flintlock pistol was taken by Zhao Ze for reference and research. When it was retrieved, almost the entire gun had been rebuilt except for the bolt part. The original rolled barrel was replaced with a forged one, and the caliber of the barrel was increased to fifteen millimeters, and with the powerful granular black powder, the power increased dramatically.
The flintlock pistol lacks a lot of trouble with the arquebus, and when the trigger is pulled, the flint closes and ignites, causing the smoke of the gunpowder to be transmitted into the barrel. With a bang, the butt recoiled. Qin Bangping, who was twenty meters away on the opposite side, immediately rushed to the ground with blood flowers on his body and fell to the ground.
As soon as Qin Bangping fell, the military formation disappeared, and the white pole soldiers below were completely exposed to the lead bullets of the firearms, and they could no longer control the bullet pressure. The female guards immediately seized the opportunity to move forward slowly, taking turns to shoot. Rows of white-pole soldiers can be seen killed and wounded in each round.
Qin Bangping is not dead yet, and the powerful lead bullet has been offset by the spiritual power of the body protector A lot of kinetic energy. The thick armor he wore barely provided some defense, and the buckshot was like a hammer, breaking several ribs in his left ribs, piercing through the armor and embedding it in flesh and broken bones. He fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
Seeing that the white pole soldiers he had trained were knocked down like mowing grass, Qin Bangping stretched out his hand and let out a hoarse roar. He was not only sad about his own losses, but also worried that the follow-up troops would hit this terrible rain of bullets, and hated how there could be such a fierce firecracker in this world - the firecrackers of the Ming Dynasty were very bad, but the firecrackers of this gang of thieves were completely different. After fighting for a long time, I didn't see anyone blow up.
The white pole soldiers couldn't bear it anymore and finally broke down and fled. The projectile chased them for hundreds of meters before stopping, and the female soldiers did not pursue.
"Stop firing, be on alert!"
"Migrant workers came up to clean up the battlefield and clean up the corpses. Reconstruct the barricades. ”
"That's right, let the logistics start cooking. It's been a long day of fighting, and it's time for the soldiers to have their stomachs full. ”
The battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, and at least more than 200 corpses fell on Dongdajie, which was the result of the female soldiers just now. Now those female soldiers have fully grown up, and they dare to fight in the face of strong enemies, and they are very calm.
In a corner of the alley, the tall cow who had completed the arming had just come back to report to Zhou Qingfeng. When he saw the slaughterhouse-like scene on the ground, he couldn't help but be shocked - this scene had happened outside the city, and it was again inside the city, this was a group of seemingly weak female soldiers with firearms. In the same battle, changing the spear infantry formation will definitely pay a lot of price. But these female soldiers .......
When Zhou Qingfeng said that he wanted to form a firearms unit, Gao Daniu and Wu Damen both felt that they were afraid that they would be wrong. How can a firearm be as reliable as an axe and a halberd? It was so complicated to use, and a single shot would have killed a lot of people.
But now that I look at it, the tall cow is convinced. He stood among the corpses, imagining how he would fight against those unarmored female soldiers. Come to think of it, it won't be any better than these heavily armored spearmen in front of you. He could even imagine the weakness and powerlessness of these heavily armored spearmen in the face of the firearms, fighting desperately and not even touching the enemy's edge.
The form of war has changed.
When he saw Zhou Qingfeng, Gao Daniu even forgot what he wanted to report. He only said in a deep voice: "Commander, equip us with this firecracker as well." This stuff is just amazing. As the commander said, the fire gun can sweep the world! ”
Zhou Qingfeng was scratching his head and worried, "If you have to have a light field artillery, you will have already broken down these dense infantry formations." When you turn around, you must force Zhao Ze to take out the artillery. ”
