The other officers received the order and immediately ordered the soldiers to press the flat fire, aim, and shoot! In the blink of an eye, the horizontal team completed four rounds of volleys! The four volleys didn't cause much casualties to the Japanese people, but they caused a flurry of confusion that made their formation even slower!

When the front squad finished firing and began to load, the squad behind them passed them and continued forward. There was a slight confusion due to the staggering of the two teams. But when they separated, they returned to normal. After ten steps forward and under the command of the officer, they stood again and fired four rounds of volleys forward, which made the ranks of the Japanese even more confused!

At this time, Liu Haojia turned back to the family next to him and said, "Remember one more thing, when approaching the enemy, you should march in columns, and then reopen when you reach the predetermined position."

This tactic of advancing in columns was a very standard tactic in the era of smoothbore guns, but Liu Haojia was not familiar with smoothbore gun tactics after all, so he forgot about it. It wasn't until I saw the chaos in my own team that I finally remembered.

When your troops advance in columns towards enemy positions, it is very beneficial to reduce casualties under artillery fire. Because there are only two people facing the enemy, the chance of being hit is slim. And Liu Haojia will definitely face troops with artillery in the future, so using a horizontal team to advance is simply a target for artillery!

Of course, there are also very special cases, that is, a miraculous shell comes from the front, and one shell can kill a company! However, the probability of this happening is negligible.

The caretaker wrote it down, and Liu Haojia raised the telescope again to look at the front of the position. A lot of things are like this, and you will never find a problem until you actually use it. Now there are four or five questions written down in the family's little notebook, of which the march of the column that has just been discovered is an important one.

At this time, the group of soldiers who were loaded in place had already completed the loading and began to move forward, and when they were close to the soldiers in front, Huang Guojun commanded half of the soldiers in the horizontal column to bend on the right flank before crossing the front horizontal line. In Liu Haojia's opinion, his action already had the prototype of a column, so he immediately asked the name of the phalanx commander and memorized it, which will be one of the key training objects in the future.

However, at this time, Huang Guojun did not know that he had gone lucky, and he quickly commanded the backward soldiers to trot to catch up. After advancing ten steps, a pirate is again formed to aim at each other and fire a salvo.

At this time, they were already about seventy paces away from the Japanese people, and the lethality of the firecrackers was enough to reflect. However, those Japanese soldiers still treated the Ming army according to the old way.

That is to say, they tried to make the soldiers in the front row line up horizontally, the first row squatted down and used their spears to put out the rejection horses, and the second row of soldiers cooperated with the first row of rejection horses to stretch out their spears to stop the opponent, and then took this opportunity to gradually organize the formation in the back, advancing row by row.

However, they were facing the wrong pure firearms, and the two human walls, one high and one low, simply provided double the target, so under these four rounds of salvos, the casualties of the Japanese were extremely heavy!

The Japanese soldiers watched as the people around them were knocked to the ground by lead bullets, and if they were dead, it would be fine, but the living would let out a wail and cry out to chill their hearts! Especially on their faces, after their bodies were splashed with blood, those Japanese soldiers were already in two wars!

They have never fought this kind of battle, and in less than half an hour from the beginning of the battle to now, the situation of victory and defeat has been extremely reversed! The only reason why they didn't collapse now was that the iron guns and archers on both flanks had come closer and were ready to attack!

The soldiers of the archers carried the lowest loads, so they were the first to reach the battle line and were the first to launch a counterattack after hastily forming their formation. They raised their bows, more than a man high, and shot the first round of feathered arrows! However, due to the improper command of the officer, this round of feather arrows was not neat, and the landing points were uneven, but some feather arrows still fell into the shout.

However, the lethality of the bows and arrows of the Japanese people is too poor! Most of the feathered arrows that hit the target were bounced off by the helmet and cuirass, and the feathered arrows shot at the limbs did not penetrate deep into the flesh, so they were casually pulled out and thrown away by the soldiers, and then continued to move forward.

Seeing that his companion was injured, the firecracker who was shot a round of feathered arrows was angry! Since they entered the Wu'an Army, only when they beat people and were not beaten! though

It is said that the bows and arrows of the Japanese people are really bad, and not a single one dies within a distance of sixty or seventy paces, but this breath can be obtained!

Therefore, the firecrackers immediately stood on the spot, and fought back cleanly with the feathered arrows of the Japanese people! The lethality of the firebolt at a distance of about 60 paces is quite huge! So after four volleys, the first row of the archers was completely empty, the second row was uneven, and a large number of people were knocked out in the third row! The team of the archers was actually shot through!

Under this blow, the archers on both wings directly collapsed! From the time they rushed to the front of the formation to the time they collapsed, they only shot seven rounds of feather arrows, and the casualties caused were negligible!

Seeing that the archers were scattered, the firecrackers on both flanks did not leave. Because they saw the iron cannon ashigaru rushing towards them, they were ready to crush these people! And the central horizontal team commanded by Huang Guojun was faced with a long spear mixed with samurai, so they didn't mean to stop at all, but approached the other side 50 steps before firing the first salvo!

After four rounds of rapid volleys, Huang Guojun commanded the second horizontal team to step forward for four rounds of volleys, directly emptying the soldiers in the first three rows, and even the back rows were punched out! So as soon as the last round of samurai started, the soldiers on the opposite side scattered with a bang! The main force that the Shimazu family was proud of was completely crushed in this way in eight volleys!

This is not to say that the soldiers of the Shimazu family are too bad, you know, the Shimazu family is famous among the Japanese daimyos! Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to almost unify Kyushu! And the way they are now is because they have never fought this kind of battle!

Everyone uses iron cannons, why do your iron cannons hit far and accurately? Our iron cannon is like a slingshot? Someone in the iron cannon ashigaru dared to swear, he clearly saw his own iron cannon hit the other party's chest, but that guy just made a butt and stood up again!

How can you block the blow of an iron cannon while wearing a cuirass? So far, there has never been anything that can't be pierced by iron cannons on the entire three islands of Wakoku! And as long as the opponent's firearm is fired, someone will fall, and this battle can't be fought!
