174. Firearms mighty
The barracks were filled with the sound of "sucking" and eating noodles, and the soldiers licked the bowls clean.
After eating, the auxiliaries transported a large amount of ammunition and grenades to the front line, waiting for the war to be consumed and replenished at any time.
"The enemy has been pulled out!"
On a hillside in the rear, an erected antenna was erected to receive telegrams from the front.
The commander's tent was also here, and the herald turned his head and said to Liu Qiang, who was sitting there with his eyes closed.
"Keep watching, and report every 5 miles."
Liu Qiang's eyes didn't open, he was still thinking about whether his tactics were imperfect.
It was also the first time for him to command such a large-scale war, although he relied on the military books he had read before, and after several deductions and exercises, he knew how to deal with this kind of war, and he faced the enemy with cold weapons with hot weapons, even if he fought more with less, he also had the confidence to win!
However, being able to minimize one's own casualties and strike the enemy's living forces as much as possible is directly related to his arrangement.
Time passed bit by bit, there was a burst of trumpets outside, this is the militia regiment, the company is in the process of training, Liu Qiang went out to take a look, the militia regiment has been under the command of Lu Feihu, forming three phalanxes to standby.
The regular soldiers have also formed a phalanx.
When they charge, they do not have to form a formation like the militia, but they can use the trio as the basic unit, the platoon as the unit to cooperate with each other, and the company as the unit to cover each other, loosely combined, and more able to give full play to their own combat effectiveness.
"The forward troops of the thief army, there are still five miles away!"
The herald shouted.
Liu Qiang picked up the walkie-talkie and pressed the intercom button: "I'm Liu Qiang, check weapons and ammunition in all units and prepare for war!" ”
"Roger!"
The voices of the officers came over the intercom.
Liu Qiang stood on the high post and saw that the troops everywhere immediately took action.
The three phalanxes of the militia arrived at the predetermined position and formed a "[" formation.
When Liu Dajiang came to the battlefield selected for him by the Qingcheng regiment, what he saw was this group of soldiers who had set up their formations!
"The formation is loose, there are no gongs and drums, and there is no flag of the enemy army, will these people fight?"
Even if Liu Dajiang was a general from the peasant army, after years of study, he could not command and convey orders until he commanded the army with a snare drum and a command flag, and formed a corresponding formation to meet the enemy, so as to deal with the war with the enemy army in a formation that conformed to the terrain and the number of people.
And there was nothing on the other side.
"The master on the other side is a novice who doesn't understand anything, right?"
He couldn't help but think in his mind, "Could it be that those scouts before were really killed by the monsters?" ”
He knew about the monsters, and even when he was in Fengtai a few months ago, he encountered a monster rebellion, and was later killed by the officers and soldiers of the imperial court.
In the Mangshan Mountains of Northern Anhui, there are also rumors of monsters.
"General, these people are neatly organized, but I'm afraid that there is something else inside."
The staff member on the war horse next to him reminded him.
Even in the face of your own army, the enemy's formation is not chaotic at all.
"Send someone over first······· Not necessarily. ”
Liu Dajiang wanted to send someone to communicate, but at this time, the enemy army had already begun to march forward, which was obviously a signal for war!
"This group of people, it seems that there are less than 10,000 people, I just don't know where this army came from, and they are acting so arrogantly, but let me weigh and weigh what kind of quality you are, dare to stand in my way Liu Dajiang!
Go, press the cannon fodder and test it first.
The main troops were in front of each other, preparing to attack the enemy's three phalanxes.
The cavalry is ready and ready to attack from the flanks! ”
Liu Dajiang ordered.
Next, the herald immediately rode down and passed Liu Dajiang's order.
Liu Dajiang said it easily, but at this time, his heart was not easy at all.
Thousands of soldiers on the other side, without drums and flags, can step on the same pace, one by one, the order is forbidden, and the three phalanxes are approaching in unison, such an army has never been seen before, unheard of, and it is incomprehensible!
Zhang Heizi and his men, lined up in the first row of the middle phalanx, stepped on the sound of the "beep ~ beep" whistle and walked forward.
After more than half a month of patrolling and killing an unknown number of defeated soldiers, they looked at the enemy cannon fodder who rushed up with pickaxes, wooden sticks, and even bare hands, not only were they not afraid, but even felt a little funny.
What is there to fear from such a battle?
"Beep!"
"Stop!"
The company commander was given the order to stop through the walkie-talkie, and the whistle in his mouth stopped. At this moment, the team also stopped as it had done countless times before, except for the sound of breathing, the team was quiet, and one person stood there solemnly, like a strong wall, full of murderous aura!
They looked at the chaotic and swarming enemy troops rushing in the distance, and their faces were not moved in the slightest.
"First row, gun raised!"
The company commander's shouts were amplified by the horn he was holding.
At this moment, the militia integrated into the collective, as precise as a part of this large war machine, each doing its own thing at this time.
The militiamen in the first platoon of the three phalanxes all took a step forward and raised their flintlock pistols in their hands.
Wait silently, waiting for these enemy forces to reach their effective range!
One, two, three, four····· Everyone was silent, fingers on the trigger.
Thanks to the long training for the battle, the training procedures have been deeply engraved into their bones.
They have also experienced the task of cleaning up the defeated soldiers, and most of the militia have their hands stained with the lives of those defeated soldiers.
At the moment, the entire war machine is stable.
They kept an eye on the rushing enemy, and not one of them pulled the trigger in advance.
"Put!"
With an order.
Because of the enemy's dense formation, there was no need to consider the accuracy of the shot, and the order to shoot began at a distance of more than 200 steps (about 400 meters) from a distance of more than 200 steps.
"Bang bang bang!" There was a loud sound, but in a short time, the first row of the three phalanxes had already poured out the projectiles in the chambers.
At the same time, the cannon fodder who was being driven and running on the battlefield was suddenly dazed!
The cannon fodder that rushed up in a dense formation, in an instant, hundreds of people fell in the front row, and there were those who were not shot dead on the spot, they struggled, howled, and were trampled on.
Countless cannon fodder standing in front of them, looking at their fallen companions beside them, a cool breath suddenly rushed from the soles of their feet to their brains, and the feeling of fear instantly grew from their hearts, and they couldn't help but get goosebumps all over their bodies, and they trembled with fear.
They are just a bunch of untrained civilians who have been coerced by the rebels.
However, the people behind did not know the situation yet and were pushed and ran forward.
In front of the Qingcheng militia phalanx, a cloud of white smoke had already risen, blocking their vision.
Fortunately, they did not need to watch the enemy's casualties, they only needed to be ordered to shoot.
After the first row finished shooting, he immediately crouched down and began to quickly change ammunition.
The second platoon was already holding the gun and pulled the trigger.
When the trigger was pulled in the third row, in the first row in a skillful and mechanical movement, the reload had been completed and the trigger was pulled again!
It's almost seamless.
The white smoke became more and more filled, and the white expanse completely blocked the sight of the militiamen, but they were not afraid in their hearts, but only remembered the movements in their hands, quickly pulled back the bolt, stuffed the primer and the projectile, used the push rod to the end, raised the gun, pulled the trigger, and pulled back the bolt······· Repeating the mechanical action over and over again.
At an altitude of 300 meters, several drones are flying at the same time, either hovering in the air or quickly staggering by. Observe the enemy's movements at all times, and transmit any moves and changes to the command post on the hill in real time.
After two rounds, more than 4,000 enemy cannon fodder has fallen!
The two sides are still separated by more than a hundred steps, and the handover has not yet begun, and the enemy is already in chaos!
Some people turn around and run back, and countless people collide here, and chaos is born.
Liu Dajiang looked at the chaos on the front line, and his heart was extremely anxious!
"Immediately press it up, and the soldiers ······ The old battalion immediately pressed up! Disperse the people in front of you! Push the chariot up! Cover the archers, the archers throw! ”
He shouted loudly.
Seeing such a battle situation, even those newly recruited recruits pressed up, they were not much stronger than those cannon fodder!
can only press their own 3,000 old soldiers, only these people have the courage and ability to clean up the battlefield.
The herald immediately rode away.
Liu Dajiang's eyes were scarlet: "Damn, where is this troops, where is the damn troops!" There are firearms, such sharp firearms! Shoot in more than 200 steps, and still cause such casualties!
You fucking you, send out so many scouts, you can't even find out who the other party is, you want to have a fucking hair! ”
His temples jumped suddenly, and he raised the whip in his hand and threw it at a young general in silver armor next to him.
The silver-armored young general grabbed the whip with one hand and said with a cold face: "The general doesn't want to be so angry. ”
"Humph!"
Liu Dajiang twitched, put the whip back, and snorted coldly. Suddenly, he pulled out the long knife on the horseback, flashed in the void with a "whew", and cut off the head of the adjutant next to the silver-armored general, and the blood rushed wildly: "Liu Chunsheng, remember, this army is mine now!"
And you, my men! ”
The silver-armored youngster's chest rose and fell violently, and his eyes were about to breathe fire.
After all, he still clenched the hilt of the knife in his hand and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.
Liu Dajiang has a violent personality, but his command ability is not bad, and the main soldiers rushed forward in formation, instantly cutting through the chaotic soldiers in front.
Covering the archers rushed forward.
However, even if the bow and arrow are fired at a high angle, the shooting distance is only about 100 steps, and wanting to risk bullets to involve the other party is tantamount to a fool's dream.
As soon as the soldiers rushed out, they were hit by the power of the guns, and the chariot in front of them was covered with thick wooden planks of leather, and the sawdust was flying and crackling with flintlock projectiles! Moreover, the shield cart could not block everyone, and from time to time someone was hit by a projectile.
Finally, under the rain of bullets, I walked a hundred steps, and when I got closer, the power of the projectile was greater, and from time to time, the shield was pierced, hitting the soldiers behind the shield car, and then it was already difficult to move an inch!
"Archer!"
The archers behind bent their bows and shot upwards, and in an instant, thousands of arrows shot into the sky!
However, the effect is yes.
At the end of the strong crossbow, it is impossible to wear Lu Min. Most of the arrows did not fall into the militia phalanx at all, and the occasional arrow did not interrupt the rhythm of the militia party design.
Liu Dajiang stood on a high slope, looking at the scene on the battlefield, anxious: "No! It can't go on like this! Liu Chunsheng, you immediately lead people around the rear to harass the enemy's firearms battalion, you can't let them let go like this! ”
Just when Liu Dajiang was extremely anxious, Liu Qiang's mentality was much more relaxed than when he started the war, looking at the picture transmitted back by the drone on the monitor, judging the position of the enemy according to the grid distance above, and picking up the walkie-talkie: "Qin Sheng, prepare to ignite and fire." ”
