"Knock knock ......"

The drums beat on the empty riverbank.

Everyone stared nervously ahead.

And the foot soldiers who stood at the forefront of the [Nine Dragon Field] almost pinched the blood of their fingers with the fire guns in their hands.

Among them, they are either escorts with boats, or patrols for flood control, or water catchers to exterminate small water bandits.

In their lives, their greatest wish may be to make more money from this canal, to pull some cloth for women, and to buy some food for their children.

They never imagined that one day they would face the most terrible Tatars in the steppe.

A grassland, an inland canal, just like that, two groups of people who will never touch the border, were arranged by fate to the small place of Zhangjiawan.

The drums fell, and everyone held their breath, desperately thinking about every detail of the [temporary training camp] arranged for them by that Xu Juma before they set off.

Untie the bamboo tube from your waist - pour out the medicine in the paper tube - fill it with a push rod - when you see the enemy a hundred paces away, light the fire rope with a smoldering fire fold - shoot!

When everyone thought of this, they only felt the ground trembling slightly under their feet.

The sound of horses' hooves was like a talisman, which made everyone panic all at once.

At this moment, a voice from the head of each row of [Kowloon Field] shouted: "Calm down! What row are you? ”

The soldiers standing in the front row subconsciously shouted loudly according to the training: "First row! ”

A voice roared out in unison, and suddenly everyone's fear was slightly relieved.

Immediately after that, someone behind them shouted, "Calm down! What row are you? ”

"Second row!"

Immediately after [3rd row], [4th row]...... The voices came out one after another.

After one thousand households finished shouting, another thousand households on the right hand side started again.

The fur coat on the ship also seemed to have a slight blood color on his face after hearing the shouts of the firecrackers.

"Loud sound, the Tatars are coming!"

Xu He was still holding a monocular and looking at the enemy brigade that was a mile away.

"Only more than a thousand people came, and it is estimated that they are the vanguard of the enemy!"

Hearing that it was not as expected, most of the Tatars pressed it, and the wool coat suddenly changed its face.

Xu He didn't pay attention, but signaled the flag bearer to give the order.

After a while, the fire gunners finished their inspection.

At this moment, the formation of the sword and shield soldiers on both sides changed, and the soldiers at the front crouched down, revealing the crossbowmen who were surrounded in the middle.

……

At this time, more than 1,000 Tartar pioneers were less than 500 steps away from the [Kowloon Field] in Zhangjiawan.

The Tatar generals who led the army burst out laughing when they saw the almost one-man tall wooden fence and the firecrackers behind the wooden fence.

"Wei Gou really likes to shrink behind things, even if it is in the field, he can make a bend!"

"Are these firecrackers ready to stop our Tartar warriors with such tall gadgets?"

As soon as his words fell, there was a chorus of laughter around him.

These days, the cowardice of the Wei people has made these guys completely unblind.

The leading general waved his hand without even thinking about it: "Rush over and knock their obstacles away!" ”

"Whoa......

……

"They're coming!" Mao Bao's face is pale, and his palms are full of sweat!

"Loud, order!" He anxiously stared at the enemy rushing over like a wolf on the battlefield, and turned his head to look at Xu He.

Xu He didn't speak, just stared at the battlefield.

Three hundred paces, the speed of the enemy's war horse has risen.

Two hundred steps, the speed of the enemy's war horse has reached its peak.

"Loud, order!"

Xu He's forehead was also faintly sweating, and he shouted in a hoarse voice: "Wait!!!! ”

One hundred and fifty steps!

One hundred and forty steps!

……

Xu He turned his head at this time and shouted, "Order!" ”

The standard-bearer had been staring at Xu He for a long time in a sweat, waiting for his words.

Hearing Xu He's order, the flag bearer raised the red flag and green flag in his left and right hands, and waved it down in unison.

"Bang...... Bang bang bang ......"

On the battlefield, the first row of [Kowloon Field] was filled with gunsmoke, instantly obscuring the sight of the people behind him.

But at this moment, the first row of Cao soldiers' firecrackers quickly squatted down and silently recited: "Untie the bamboo tube from your waist - pour out the medicine in the paper tube - fill it with a push rod - when you see the enemy a hundred paces away, use a smoldering fire fold to light the fire rope - shoot!" ”

Just as they were just as they began to pronounce the beginning, there was a "bang ......bang" sound behind them, the smoke became thicker, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

At this time, the crossbowmen on both sides had already shot the arrows in their hands.

Then, the third, fourth, and fifth rows......

By the time they reached the fourth row, the musketeers in the first row had already loaded their ammunition, their hearts were as if they were being clung to something, and they didn't dare to breathe, but in their ears came the neighing and wailing of the terrible horses with people falling.

When the fog cleared, everyone in the Nine Dragons Field was surprised to find that the open space in front of them was like Shura Hell at the moment.

The wounded horse lay on the place, struggling and stretching its neck.

And more bloody corpses were displayed in front of them.

The enemy was not stupid, and they wanted to retreat in the face of the constant fire, but the speed of the horses they raised made it impossible for them to turn back.

In the end, more than 1,000 people, only more than 200 of the rear team saw that the situation was not right, and desperately strangled the reins so that they did not crash headlong into hell.

Wei Dog, Wei Dog, what kind of tactics is this?

They actually concentrated such a large number of firearms, and in the past, as long as Wei Gou let go of the firearms, it would be extremely troublesome to reload, that is to say, as long as the first wave of firecrackers was over, these people would be the souls of their swords.

But today......

The nightmare "thump" sound caused his companions to fall down like grass blown by a strong wind.

Mao Bao, who was standing on the boat, was shocked to see this scene.

"This, this...... This is my Cao Bing? They ......"

Suddenly, he reacted, where was his bravery, it was obviously the result of Xu He's training in Pingdu.

"Liangsheng, you are so godly! It's amazing! ”

Xu He smiled, what is the god here.

It's just an upgraded version of the "three-stage strike".

Three dan strikes, during the Warring States period of Sumoto, Oda Nobunaga used this move to defeat Takeda Shingen's Akabi in the Battle of Nagashino.

And the ancestor who really played the three-stage attack was in another time and space, when the south was pacified in the early Ming Dynasty, Mu Ying used the method used by Mu Ying to deal with the elephant soldiers in Yunnan.

To a certain extent, this method solves the disadvantages of slow reloading speed and no way to fire continuously.

Later, the Europeans even invented the six-stage attack and the nine-stage attack on this basis, thus opening the era of line infantry lining up to shoot.

Xu He now thinks of the Kowloon Field where he lined up during the imperial examination, and then improved the three-stage attack, and took the opponent by surprise with the help of the terrain.

If he wanted to really turn the three-stage attack into a sharp weapon against the cavalry, the Franc machine he asked for from the imperial court was the beginning, but before he could start the experiment, the Tatars entered the army.

"Horses, commanders, the enemy is here again!"

On the watchtower of the blessed boat, the watchman shouted in panic, "This time there are more!" ”
