Just like a scene in the movie Casting Letter, the Qing soldiers faced the fire attack of the morgue, with countless casualties, rushed into the attack distance, and immediately fired arrows.

Thousands of arrows rained down into the Taiping army, and immediately shot the Taiping army's firecrackers so that people turned over on their backs, and they did not form a queue.

The two sides fired wildly at each other's range, and the archers' rate of fire was overwhelmingly superior, quickly disrupting the Taiping army, and then brandishing broadswords and spears to rush into the battle, and lay the foundation for victory.

But...... This didn't happen here.

Random arrows were shot down, both throwing and direct, and the sound of a rain of arrows hitting paper armor was endless.

The few arrows fired directly were so powerful that they knocked the Musketeer down, but the Musketeer quickly got up and continued to shoot.

As for the thrown arrows, they can basically only play the role of interference.

Xiao Jun, the capital of the Fire Gun Battalion, also suffered two arrows on his body, and he swung his knife to cut it off casually, shouting: "His grandmother's! The quality of this paper armor is better than what it was made for Qi Shuai and them at the beginning! What are you afraid of, keep shooting, keep fighting them! Who's afraid of whom! ”

The fire battalion let out a shout in unison, and the rain of arrows did not disrupt their formation, nor did it destroy their morale, but after seeing that their own equipment completely crushed their opponents, their morale skyrocketed.

The speed of loading and firing in the hand was faster, and under the counterfire, the archers of the White Lotus Sect suffered heavy casualties.

The knife player could not resist the bombardment of the lead, and one by one the shields were pierced and shot and died.

The gunpowder used by Fan Zhuoyuan for the fire gun camp was the best formula and refined gunpowder, which was more lethal than the firearms commonly equipped by the Ming army in this era.

If it weren't for the fact that the caliber of the bird gun was too small to limit the power, it only extended the range, otherwise it would be changed to a coarser caliber, and a shot would be like a cannon in the past, and the long card could be directly shattered!

The White Lotus Sect only ran forward to a distance of thirty steps, and one step was one step each with the left and right feet, so it was equivalent to 1.5 meters.

That is, the distance of more than 40 meters, this distance, the power of the bow and arrow can also be fully exerted, and some arrows using heavy arrows can also shoot through the paper armor and hurt the human body, but only direct shot.

Suddenly, there were scattered casualties in the fire battalion, and instead of being frightened by this casualty, the soldiers who had already become familiar with the fever were quickened by the frenzied secretion of adrenaline, and had reached the high efficiency of firing three bullets in one minute.

At this time, the sword players of the White Lotus Sect guarding in front were the first to be unable to bear it, and every time the fire gun burst like beans, a large number of people fell backwards to the ground, and every soldier who followed the charge was full of great psychological pressure.

The soldiers in the back row, seeing that the soldiers in the front row instantly vacated a large area, their hearts were naturally full of fear, and they turned around and ran, and after the first person to escape appeared, the panic immediately spread, and a group of people ran backwards.

As soon as the archers saw that the sword players who were in charge of hand-to-hand combat had withdrawn, of course, it was impossible for them to stand in place stupidly and fight to the death with this group of elite officers and soldiers of the court wearing white armor, and they also ran back with a roar.

Seeing this, the White Lotus Sect Elder was greatly stunned, and turned around and glared at the hundred households, "Why did they withdraw!" ”

Baihu opened his mouth, only to feel very bitter, and muttered in his mouth: "This shot more than a dozen rounds, and I didn't even see the explosion?" Grandma, if the ordnance of the imperial court is so sophisticated, how can Lao Tzu still ......"

The thief in the back didn't dare to say it, looked at the elder, and smiled awkwardly.

"This group of officers and soldiers is so elite, you see, general, they are wearing white armor, that's ......"

Immediately, he explained the paper armor again, and finally spread his hands and said: "It's really impossible to shoot through the bow and arrow, so it's not their opponent to shoot at close range." ”

The elder was furious, "This can't do this, that can't work, what are you going to do!" Could it be that the neck is stretched out and this group of officers and soldiers will be cut down! ”

Baihu gritted his teeth, "They have few people, no matter how many of us have tens of thousands of people, they will be copied in three loaves, if they want to defend on three sides, the firepower density will inevitably be reduced, then it will not be able to deal much damage." ”

The elder looked at the Zhenjiang city wall, the defenders on it were cheering loudly for the victory of the officers and soldiers outside the city, morale fighting, and even the hidden soldiers occasionally saw people running out, as if they wanted to fight back together.

"This group of officers and soldiers must be taken, otherwise the matter of taking Zhenjiang explained by the sect leader will not be done, then there will be no way to arrange defenses in Jiangbei, and it will be a strategic disadvantage in the face of the army coming from the imperial court."

Baihu had no choice, so he hurriedly beckoned a few generals to come over, asked them to select 10,000 homeless people each, and then led them with more than 1,000 elites, trying to divide this group of 2,500 officers and soldiers into three breads.

Xiao Jun, the capital of the Fire Gun Battalion, turned back to Pang Xu and said, "Hey, they're starting to move, it looks like they're going to outflank us in three parts!" ”

Pang Xu frowned and said, "General Fan is arranging, let's stay where we are and wait for his instructions." ”

"Do you still do it as you did at the beginning?"

Pang Xu nodded solemnly and said: "Even if we are very elite, but the number is so small, it is impossible to fight a positional battle, only a little breakthrough!" ”

As he was talking, there was a sudden sound of artillery roaring in the east, which was the sound of dozens of small artillery shelling.

At this time, I saw that the 800 people led by Fan Zhuoyuan had already left the protection range of the battleship's artillery, and they were only one and a half miles away from the enemy's central army, and then I saw dozens of small cannons such as tiger squat cannons and sub-mother cannons in front of the formation.

All filled with solid bullets, a salvo, and it was really an earthquake and a mountain shake.

The power of the small cannon is not as good as that of the heavy artillery, but the lethality is still good, and it directly rushed towards the Chinese army of the White Lotus Sect, until the crowd exploded, crying for father and mother.

Pang Xu saw Fan Zhuoyuan's letter arrow, which was a signal agreed at the beginning.

He immediately sneered: "Don't wait, just kill now, only kill the Chinese army!" Neither wing matters! ”

"Run forward!" Xiao Jun roared angrily, and all the firecrackers trotted towards the White Lotus Sect's central army.

Behind him, a thousand spear phalanx also trotted to follow, and every thirty or so steps of the two battalions advanced, the whole team was suspended, and then trotted dozens of steps, and the formation was not scattered.

Seeing this, the hundred households in the White Lotus Sect dropped their jaws in shock, "My God, the Qi family army of Qi Shuai back then has never seen a queue that can still maintain a tight queue while marching!" ”

The elder slapped him in the face, "Now you still have the heart to think about this?" They're coming back and forth! Three bread copy, how to copy three bread, I only know that dozens of cannons in the east are blown up on the head! ”

Baihu held back the fire in his heart and said, "I didn't know that these 800 officers and soldiers actually hid so many small cannons!"

Then we can only continue to copy the more than 2,000 officers and troops on the front, and then gather all the elites to try to rush these 800 people, they are few, as long as they can rush down, they can get dozens of artillery, and it is just right to use them to deal with the more than 2,000 officers and troops in the west! ”

The elder pointed at him and said, "You personally led the elite to rush, if you can't rush down, don't come back, die at the hands of the officials and soldiers!" ”

Baihu gritted his teeth and confessed, and immediately rode down to summon people, but his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"His grandmother's, there is no good life with this gang of White Lotus thieves, if you can, Lao Tzu really wants to vote for this official army in person!"
