Boom Boom Boom ......

Under several rounds of continuous shelling, Lu Shisang had nothing to do.

They were not even fully armed, and they could not even imagine encountering such a terrible thing as artillery.

Although only a few just landed in the crowd, each one would cause dozens of deaths, and some who were not dead were wailing in the battle.

Seeing that the army's heart was unstable, the generals around him were dumbfounded, and he had no choice but to charge.

"The only way to do this now is to fight to the death, otherwise the three kings will not be spared. Rush!"

A group of people rushed over, and many of them fled behind.

Lu Zhishen was also shocked by the artillery just now, although he didn't have a telescope, but listening to the screams in the distance, he naturally understood that the enemy army had suffered heavy casualties.

Thinking about whether it will collapse without fighting, I am regretting that I didn't have a chance to perform.

Now that the other party is actually charging, he is about to meet him with a Zen staff, but he is pulled by Mu Hong.

"Master Lu, the order in the army is forbidden. Without an order, no one is allowed to act rashly, and violators will be executed immediately. ”

Lu Zhishen looked at the Chinese army's steady Lin Chao and the staff officers, and thrust his Zen staff into the ground.

"It's really unlucky, there is no stronger opponent for the Sprinkle family to fight. ”

When the announcer shouted two hundred steps, the crossbowmen of the alchemy army all checked whether the arrows were in place, and then looked ahead, not daring to twist their heads.

According to military regulations, the enemy entered the final stage of preparation for the attack at 200 paces, and those who dared to move were killed.

"One hundred and fifty steps!"

A rumble sounded behind him, shells flew overhead, and the crossbowmen did not dare to blink.

"One shot!"

With a whin, the crossbowmen in the first and second rows quickly shot out the three arrows in their hands, and immediately sat on the ground and loaded their arrows.

"Two shots!"

The third and fourth rows of crossbowmen also fired their crossbows and shots, and then sat down as they were.

A large number of people on the other side fell, but there were also people who fought back with bows and arrows.

The front row shield bearers put their large shields on the ground, and the pikemen immediately hid behind, only outstretching their guns.

The shield bearers in the back hold their shields above their heads to form a single unit.

The sparse arrows flew in, and they had no effect.

Finally, the cavalry rushed to fifty paces, but the alchemy army still did not move, and although the cavalry on both sides was eager to try, no one stepped out of the formation.

"Fire!"

50 musketeers rushed to the gap between the pikemen and the shieldmen, pulled the trigger, and the flint inside ignited the gunpowder under the impact.

Puff puff...... Muffled voice.

This musket, which has an effective attack distance of less than 50 paces, is the first time it has entered actual combat, and it is far from meeting the requirements of Lin Chao.

Almost half of the muskets did not ignite and had to be shot again.

Fortunately, both the barrel and the projectile are accurate after a thousand years, only to see a flash of fire and all kinds of wails ahead.

The cavalry, which had managed to rush over, immediately fell, both men and horses, and were knocked out in front of the muskets.

Someone was shot in the face, but he was not dead, kneeling on the ground and howling, and the terrible scream made people feel terrified.

The musketeers quickly retreated, and like the artillery, the auxiliaries immediately emptied their barrels to reload their ammunition.

At this time, it has entered the hand-to-hand encounter, the crossbowmen behind are throwing, the musketeers in the middle are slowly firing, and the pikemen and shield men in front are in full array.

Looking at the scattered enemies rushing over, Lin waved his fan.

"Enter!"

First the trumpet commander blew, then the trumpet, then the trumpeters of each company, and the loud trumpets sounded.

This was the end of the experiments of the musketeers, all of whom retreated to the guards, the pikemen and shieldmen began to move forward step by step, and the cavalrymen began to wander away with scimitars and crossbows.

Lu Zhishen felt useless in the team, watching the pieces of people falling, and the rear was still firing cannons, and couldn't help but ask.

"How much money did the official family give, why does the Sprinkle family think it's not cost-effective?"

What kind of artillery assault muskets, so many arrows, to hit this group of poor people who want to rush over with sticks, it is simply a loss.

Look at those horses, they are really skinny compared to the horses of the Alchemy Army.

was said by Lu Zhishen, and Mu Hong also became serious.

"I'm all optimistic with the master, and every thief will be cleaned up, and not a single hair will be allowed to fall. ”

A female general in a red robe rode by next to her, stopped and said, "Deputy Battalion Commander Mu, pay attention to your title." ”

Mu Hong immediately smiled and raised his hand and said, "Order." ”

Then he looked around and said, "In the future, no one is allowed to call the master, but the chief." ”

Lu Zhishen looked at Mu Hong, who was once a bandit, in surprise, and asked when he saw the female general leaving: "This kind of little lady is afraid of what she will do, and one of the Sprinkle family can fight a hundred." ”

Mu Hong told him to be quiet.

"This is a member of the Dharma Protector Regiment, Lord Lin's direct guard, take care of everything, don't offend. ”

Lu Zhishen said: "The Sprinkle family really can't stand this kind of bird spirit. ”

Mu Hong said: "How does the Alchemy Army compare to your Western Army?"

Lu Zhishen's face became heavy, it was not that he didn't know the importance of discipline, but he just said it with a cheerful temperament.

The main force of the alchemy army slowly advanced to the beat of the drum, except for the cavalry on both sides wandering, the infantry phalanx in the middle remained stable.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The earth-shattering roar appeared, and the two banners of the "Alchemy Army" and "only seeking defeat" were waved in the wind.

The minions of Shaohua Mountain and Erlong Mountain, who were in the reserve behind, were dumbfounded, this is a war of five thousand to fifteen, it's as simple as that.

Why is this completely different from the officers and soldiers who fight each other in peacetime?

But listening to the roar of artillery still ringing, countless crossbows and bows ringing, the neat and orderly phalanx, and the armored cavalry with crossbows, it seems that everything is logical.

They are sure to be winners, and they are bound to lose.

......

Lu Shisang had already fled, and the alchemy army had won the first battle, and camped in place, preparing to directly attack Fangxiang tomorrow.

Scout cavalry has been scattered everywhere to snask for information and intercept enemy prying eyes.

Lin Chao was very busy, and all the surplus iron tools he picked up on the battlefield were sent to the barracks, and he was making shell casings.

Ling Zhen's artillery battalion had a total of 500 people, 100 gunners, and the remaining 400 people were intensively repairing artillery carriages, assault guns, and making shells.

Lin Chao also found that at present, the one-meter-four-long musket is not up to the task, and it only shoots twice a minute.

Maybe the current ammunition is not up to par, the flint is too rough, and he doesn't know what the problem is.

He summoned Ling Zhen and took out the newly made two-meter barrel of the musket.

"Ling Cannon, find a way to increase the rate of fire, increase the range and power. ”

Ling Zhen was very satisfied with his nickname, and today's artillery first battle blew up the other party at a loss.

He picked up the new barrel, felt a little heavy, and said, "My lord, it's inconvenient to shoot so long." ”

Lin Lan said: "Then two people will shoot each other." ”

Ling Zhen asked, "What about the auxiliaries who loaded the ammunition?"

Lin Chao had a bit of a headache, if the musketeers needed one shot for three people in a battle of 10,000 people, then they had to reach the power of three long-range shooters.

Otherwise, the enemy can sacrifice the first few rows of people to kill, and at that time the musket is not as good as the burning stick.

If later in the field you had to deal with cavalry, without a quick and dense salvo, the musketeers would be useless.

If it's a defensive battle, it can be very useful.

You can rely on the wall battlements for one person and one gun, and load ammunition alone, and you can be condescending and more lethal.
