Chapter 41: Guns and Fire (Part II)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In the queues and formations, time passed quickly, and it was not long before the start of the war came.
I saw that the fog of the game in front of the horizontal team gradually dissipated, and the same three long horizontal arrays appeared in front of them, and the soldiers with strict eyes, carrying muskets of almost high height, were quietly confronting each other.
Xiaomei zoomed in the camera and counted the number of soldiers on the other side, and now the blue camp of "marrying a machine qì person as a wife" has a total of 95 officers and 11,000 soldiers, which is 2,000 fewer than the red side.
She was shaken by the huge array of two sides, and if there were players below, there would only be a high mercenary fee that would allow them to remain silent on the battlefield of this game without chatting and typing.
However, she quickly remembered her task and quickly recorded, "Ladies and gentlemen, now that the red and blue sides have been deployed, the red side has a total of 13,000 soldiers, and the blue side has a total of 11,000 soldiers. ”
When she finished recording, she heard the officers in the front row of the red side in her ears start to walk back and forth to give lectures and boost morale.
"Valiant soldiers, honor and money are ahead, and you have only one thing to do, which is to aim at each other, fire, fire non-stop, take turns in three rows, and maintain uninterrupted firepower............"
The blue side is also doing a similar mobilization, the captains and officers on both sides have all their strength to motivate their soldiers, for them, once they win, the reward will be huge, dozens of times higher than the reward of ordinary players, of course, the requirements for them are also higher, requiring them to be able to lead their companies in time to make accurate tactical moves according to orders.
Ten minutes after the mobilization, the two arrays fell into a silent standoff.
None of them moved first.
Although we all know that the British lobster soldiers rely on the initiative to attack to defeat most of the miscellaneous soldiers, but that is based on good training, now the soldiers on both sides are not well trained, although it is based on game operations, compared to reality, there is no fear, no pressure, it is much easier to walk in line, but there will also be a variety of scattered formations, once you can't maintain the formation, it is a terrible disaster.
Therefore, neither officer gave the order to attack on the initiative first.
Time passed quickly, and more than ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye.
At this time, more than 10,000 players on the sidelines were coaxing.
"It's a gentleman, just hurry up and fight the bayonet!"
"Always squatting where and when is the end, hurry up and charge, run forward" This is a certain military blind person who is making random ideas.
"It's so boring, my eyes are sore when I see it, I haven't moved half a step yet, I'm bored, I'm going to line up and shoot it,"
"I'm all playing with the turtle stream, hiding there and not going out first, what kind of thing"
Many people are afraid that it is not lively enough, but it is a pity that the people inside can't hear their comments, otherwise those players who have not undergone much training will already be scolded by each other, and there will not even be a lack of those who are not excited, directly charge and destroy the formation.
………………
Ling Chen looked at the formation and waved his hand downward.
Then the trumpeter next to him blew the horn of advance.
As the horn of the march sounded, the military music of the game also sounded, and the captains and officers standing on the left side of the array, holding their sabers, shouted and ordered their soldiers to advance according to the previous training according to the drum beat.
The first to approach each other were three horizontal columns, which stepped on the drums, and the game characters moved forward at almost the same pace under the control. There is no artillery on both sides, and there is also a lack of roaring artillery and gunsmoke, although it lacks the grandeur of the battlefield, but it is good news for the advance of the soldiers, and there is no need to worry about walking and being unlucky to receive a solid bullet.
While the three horizontal columns marched in order, the three columns were not idle, and the left and right columns were outflanking the enemy's flanks in a detour to a higher degree, and if the opponent wanted to switch formations to fight them, he would have to bear the blow of the central column.
The blue camp, as if they had expected the two columns of the assault on them, formed five columns of the same width and maneuvered to the flanks to meet the two bold enemy forces who were trying to outflank them.
The three horizontal columns of the red camp, with a wide front of 4,500 men, were approaching the soldiers of the blue camp.
Looking at the bright bayonets and the black hole muzzle approaching him, the soldiers of the blue camp were highly nervous, of course, the officers were not worried, because the two sides had already agreed privately in this battle that they could not deliberately snipe the officers, but the accuracy of the smoothbore guns on the battlefield was very poor, and they could not guarantee that they would not hit the opposing officer.
The distance between the two sides was about 500 meters at first, but as the red team advanced, it would not take more than five minutes to get close to the effective range of both sides.
The distance is getting closer and closer, from the first 500 meters to 300 meters, then to 200 meters, and finally to the 100-meter threshold.
At a distance of 100 meters, the muskets of the 17th century were still inaccurate, but many motley armies had already fired at this distance, and the result was that the first reload of ammunition was wasted, and the first salvo, which should have been the most powerful, was wasted.
At 100 meters, the blue side had not yet fired, and the red team was still advancing.
"Baoshan Youbao" is in the queue of the first row, because it is stipulated that the first queue can get double rewards, but the pressure is also huge, there is an enemy in front of him, only a hundred meters, he can almost see the other side's player characters from this angle, knowing their fear and excitement.
This is very scary, it is difficult for people to kill another person directly in a face-to-face situation, unless after a few actual battles, this is why veterans are more resilient, they are more emotionally indifferent, they can forget about life and death in the war, and bravely face the battlefield in the face of a qiē.
Fortunately, this is a game after all, although when the horizontal team advances, it is not perfect, and it is often seen that those soldiers in the front row suddenly quit the queue without any attack, these are obviously those players who can't hold on, they only have more than twenty, this kind of game will not really be dead after all, so those players who quit the array, although they were dealt with by military law, but they didn't care.
This point was keenly seen by Ling Chen, who was observing later, but now it was time to adjust, and it was still time to change the employment system.
The horizontal team continued to advance, one hundred meters, ninety meters, eighty, seventy, sixty, and the opposite player horizontal team had been patient, and did not fire a single shot.
When it was fifty meters, the long-lost sound of the order finally sounded in the blue camp.
"The first horizontal team raises a gun,"
"Aim"
"Fire" With a command, the first horizontal team composed of 2ooo muskets opened fire, and the 2ooo muskets sounded almost simultaneously, and after the first horizontal team finished firing, they quickly stood in the last line and began to load.
"The second horizontal team raises the gun"
"Aim"
“fire!”
I could only hear the sound of fried beans, and in the red team that was approaching the blue camp, there was a large gap in the first team, and the people from the second team immediately filled it, followed by the third team to make up for the second team.
The player soldiers who spent nearly 1,000 yuan on the hir, at this time before they had any effective value, there were 6oo people who were shot, killed or wounded, and exited the battle sequence, and this time hundreds of thousands of dollars were thrown away in vain, and those players who were watching couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this scene.
However, the 17th century musketeers in real history are synonymous with cheapness, the reason why muskets replace bows and arrows is not because of good performance at the beginning, but because the musketeers are easy to train, and the musket equipment is simple to manufacture, from sixty or seventy-year-old people to teenage children, they can use muskets after a little training, muskets can be made in a handicraft workshop in a day, and archers shoot and range are past this time of muskets, but an archer needs several years of training, and a qualified bow also takes several years to build.
