Chapter 133: Fear

Zhou Changshou is the captain of the team, and he wears riveted cloth armor with iron plates in the armor, and the bow and arrow shot from this distance cannot penetrate the armor on his body, and the helmet on his head can also protect his head.

Zhou Changshou gritted his teeth and stared at the fire door in his hand that was ignited by the three-eyed gun.

The helmet obscured his vision, and he couldn't see the hungry soldiers rushing in front of him, but the sound of footsteps in his ears made it clear to him that the enemy was getting closer and closer.

Fear lingered in his heart, but he didn't hear the sound of the military horn, and Zhou Changshou didn't dare to use fire to ignite the three-eyed gun in his hand.

On Zhou Changshou's side, a group of soldiers wearing helmets all lowered their heads, they held their firearms, clenched their teeth like Zhou Changshou, and they were all waiting for the military horn to be released.

Many people have all the green tendons in their hands bulging because they hold the gun too tightly, but no one dares to shoot the three-eyed gun in their hands.

Military Order, Gunner, Article 1 - Those who release guns without an order will be beheaded immediately!

Hundreds of light arrows drew beautiful parabolas in the air and fell into the Ming army's formation, Zhou Changshou only felt a pain in his body, and the sound of arrows came from all directions.

Zhou Changshou's eyes were slightly cold, Rao was aware that it was impossible for such a light arrow to penetrate the armor on his body, but he couldn't control his body's instinctive reaction, and his body was trembling.

In addition to the arrows that fell into the battle, there were also many arrows that were lost in front of the battle.

Zhou Changshou had a lot of falling arrows stuck in front of him.

This burst of arrows was more dense and faster than the previous ones.

Zhou Changshou was not injured because of the arrow, but it does not mean that other people were not injured.

Although most of the soldiers in the front are wearing cotton armor, although the cotton armor also has a good ability to protect against arrows, its protection is worse than that of iron armor after all.

Many of the armor had been shot through, but only a few of them were shot to the ground, and many more were still standing in place.

The arrows did pierce through their armor, but the kinetic energy carried by the arrows was also depleted.

The arrow did not penetrate the flesh deeply and did not cause any fatal injuries, and most of the people who were hit by the arrow remained in shape.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!

Zhou Changshou trembled, holding the fire fold and almost lit the three-eyed fire door in his hand, but at the last moment he still stabilized his figure.

He heard the sound of a gun, but it was clear that the trumpet did not sound.

Wrong......

The sound of the bell came from in front of him!

Zhou Changshou raised his head and looked ahead, and at this time, a few more fires appeared on the scattered front of the wanderers.

It's the rogue soldiers who are releasing their guns!

A painful wail came from his side, Zhou Changshou's heart was beating wildly, and someone was hit......

Most of the rogues were formerly ordinary peasant poor people who knew how to use firearms.

Those veterans who can use firearms are all classified into the sequence of horse elite cavalry, and the soldiers in the infantry team have not undergone much training at all, and their training is extremely low, only to the stage of being able to release their equipment.

At this time, no matter how unbearable the battalion soldiers are, they will use the method of rotational shooting, although the temporary loading will be panicked, but it also has the power to fight again.

Even if the guards are not able to complete the loading of ammunition when the army is stable.

But for the rogues, their guns are basically one-time consumables, and it's already good to be able to put a shot in battle.

Even if their three-eyed guns and bird guns are shot chaotically and do not have many accurate heads, the quality of their firearms is extremely worrying, but no matter what, they are still firearms, and they still have great power when they hit people.

Zhou Changshou didn't dare to turn his head to check the situation on his side, the law in the army - the military formation is established, and those who move their feet back will be cut immediately!

Zhou Changshou's eyes widened, and he clearly heard his heartbeat.

The enemy army in front of him was approaching, but the military order to release the gun had not been issued for a long time, and Zhou Changshou felt that the string in his mind had reached a critical point.

But the string in his mind soon didn't need to be tightened.

Hu Zhiyi raised his hand, and the golden hand standing beside him blew the horn vigorously, and the sharp sound of the swan suddenly spread throughout the entire array.

"Bang! Bang! Bang bang bang!

Countless fires in front of the more than 400-step military formation were connected together, and more than 300 three-eyed guns were fired almost simultaneously.

With the sound of heavy white smoke, countless lead bullets flew out, and in an instant, they had already shot a distance of twenty paces.

Buckshot easily shot into the torsos of the hungry soldiers who rushed to the front, and then continued to deform and disintegrate in their bodies, forming a cavity effect, and the blood of the wounded spurted out of the body along those holes, turning into streams of bloody arrows.

"Peng!" "Peng!" "Peng!"

The deafening sound of cannon fire rolled in all directions like thunder, and a large number of flying stones rushed out from the tiger squatting cannon in front of the formation.

The loud sound pierced Zhou Changshou's eardrums, and the smoke of gunpowder obscured everyone's vision for a moment.

The white mist obscured everyone's field of vision, and it also made Zhou Changshou's mind slowly calm down.

Just now, he turned the three-eyed gun in his hand and sent out three guns one after another at the fastest speed in his life.

The sound of the swan sounded again, Zhou Changshou subconsciously stood up, turned around and retreated with the three-eyed gun in his hand, and the soldiers in the second row had already squatted down at this time.

This kind of action has been trained countless times as early as the training ground.

"Bang! Bang! Bang bang bang!

The deafening sound of the platoon sounded again.

Feeling the cold touch of the gun tube in his hand, Zhou Changshou's spirit was slightly trance-like.

The smell of gunpowder smoke in the air was reassuring, and the sound of the gun blast dispelled his fear.

Zhou Changshou subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction of the Chinese army, the fiery red flag was still fluttering in the wind.

Two rows of more than 700 three-eyed guns, plus more than 20 tiger squat cannons and fifteen Fran machines, intertwined a firepower net that was enough to tear apart all the flesh and blood.

The madness of the rogue was shattered after a fierce volley.

Pieces of stone bullets were sprayed almost in the face, and the front of the originally surging rogues was almost cleared.

The scattered bullets fired by the Tiger Squat Cannon were fan-shaped sprayed out, and even those wearing armor stomachs were not spared from being hit by the Tiger Squat Cannon at such a close distance, not to mention those hungry soldiers who only had a single coat on their bodies.

In the blink of an eye, the hungry soldiers in front of them had fallen in large pieces, and the stench of blood splattered on the bodies and faces of the others.

The huge casualties and the fear of artillery caused the morale of the rogues to drop to the bottom in an instant.

The fear of death completely overpowered, and the hungry soldiers who were lucky enough to survive were almost completely out of their minds.

Their expressions were crazy, they didn't know what they were shouting, their weapons were thrown to the ground in a haphazard manner, no one dared to take a step forward, they fled desperately to the rear, desperately backwards......

The infantry armor soldiers who were supervising the battle behind the battle were no longer able to stop the rout of the hungry soldiers this time, and even were carried backwards by the crowd.

"Winter!" "Winter!" "Winter!"

The rapid drums sounded suddenly, and the eyes of the wandering infantry and hungry soldiers who had no time to flee were all unfree and involuntary towards the Ming army's military formation

Just in the formation of the Ming army, there was a large number of dense footsteps, a flaming red banner was terrifying, a piece of red armor Ling Ran was frightened, and the Ming army's army array split to both sides like a wave splitting.

A large number of armor soldiers wearing high-topped helmets, armbands and fine iron bindings, and wearing three layers of heavy armor have suddenly poured out from the Ming army's formation, killing the generals......

……

Under the fiery red banner, Chen Wang led a group of armored horsemen to live in the Chinese army, and his heart was not as light as it seemed.

The plan and strategy were all set by Chen Wang, pretending to send out the camp to aid the Hanzhong Guards, attracting the Liukou to come and besiege them.

The crowd tactics of the thieves are indeed intimidating, and manpower is not much different from endless to them.

As long as the cavalry did not lose, they could quickly pull up thousands of hungry soldiers after defeat.

For Liukou, even if it is to exchange the lives of dozens of people for one person in the Ming army, it is worth it.

And that's what they did.

The problem of Pingkou is a political and livelihood problem, not a military one.

Chen Wang is very aware of this, in terms of politics and people's livelihood, he is powerless now, so what he can take is to treat the symptoms.

This method, like his other methods, was actually learned from the Qing army.

The solution is very simple, that is, to completely hurt the enemy in one battle, so that everyone on the enemy will suffer from fear of them.

Just like the Ming army was defeated again and again in battles with the Qing army, when facing the Qing army later, it was already seven points of cowardice before the battle.

When the rogue attacked in a big way, he directly destroyed the morale of the attacking rogue with a salvo of three-eyed guns, tiger squat cannons, and Franco, and finally handed over the hoplites left in the army.

Most of the things were not much different from his original plan, except for Hu Zhiyi, who was almost twenty paces apart before he made the crazy decision to release the gun.

Twenty paces away, that is, more than thirty meters.

What is the concept of a distance of more than 30 meters, the speed of a normal adult running 100 meters is about 13 to 15 seconds, and the time required for the enemy to charge is only a short four or five seconds.

In the era of queuing to shoot, only the army under Napoleon, as well as the British army, could reach a distance of nearly 30 paces and still stabilize the array, and wait until the military order was issued before firing the gun.

Of course, there is no equivalence between the two, after all, during the Napoleonic period, there was not much difference in the armament of the armies of European countries, and they were often at war with each other.

Their opponents are the poorly armed rogues, who have a great psychological advantage because of successive victories.

Months of constant training, as well as a huge psychological advantage, allowed them to wait until the bugle sounded to shoot them in the face of the threat of death.
