"This kind of pure cold weapon class, unless it can form a certain scale and impact us for hand-to-hand combat, it is useless at all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

If there are a few scattered rushing over, we don't have to pay casualties, we just shoot at a distance one by one. ”

The proprietor is right. Zhao Hu will understand and answer loudly, so that everyone around him can hear it.

"What kind of strength does Zhu Jiu have, even Hai Yan Luo is much inferior, how can he use so many corpse soldiers.

It must be a great price to ask someone to help, but the number will never be too much. ”

Hearing that the number of these strange corpse soldiers may not be very large, and seeing hundreds of people coming on the opposite side, the faces of the guards who were originally a little worried were burned.

If the four or five hundred people on the opposite side are all at this level, even if they are not, there are dozens of so-called corpse soldiers of the level just now, and this battle may be very difficult to fight.

As he spoke, the large army led by Zhu Jiu had already arrived, and it did not stop until it was near the trap area.

What reassured the Mixed Yuan Guan side was that the large army of hundreds of people on the opposite side did not immediately attack after they arrived, but stopped to discuss things, and there seemed to be some disputes.

Now, it gives the escort team more time to rest and prepare.

After a while, dozens of people from the opposite side came out of the formation, rubbing near the trap area, slowly stabbing down with long sticks and the like, as if they wanted to remove all the traps before attacking.

However, the farthest edge of the trap area was less than two hundred meters away from the position of the escort, how could Li Xian let people destroy his own arrangement so easily, and hurriedly led a few snipers to shoot and shoot those enemies who were in front of him one by one.

Zhu Jiu's subordinates obviously didn't expect the muskets on this side to shoot so far, and they were caught off guard by paying seven or eight corpses, and the rest hurriedly turned around and fled.

Then, two or three groups of people came over, trying to destroy the trap, but they were still easily shot to death by Li Xian's side, causing twenty or thirty casualties on the opposite side.

Seeing that the people on the other side were ordinary people who could be killed with a single shot, not the strange masters who could hardly be injured by ordinary swords before, the morale of the guards suddenly increased a lot.

Zhu Jiu also had muskets on his side, and he also sent some teams forward to suppress the firepower on this side, but the escorts were all hidden in the trenches and suffered no losses at all.

Li Xian heard the sound of gunshots, and carefully watched the shooting situation of the musket on the opposite side, and let go of his general thoughts, it turned out that the quality of the musket used by the other party was quite poor, and the firing range was much worse than his own ordinary smoothbore gun, and there was no rifled gun, and the effective firing range could be sixty or seventy meters.

What's more, the training of Zhu Jiu's subordinates is obviously very insufficient, and their shooting ability is similar to that of a recruit who touches a gun for the first time, and the queue is chaotic and has no power at all.

Zhu Jiu's subordinates were afraid of the rifled guns on this side, so they didn't dare to get closer, and they didn't dare to let go of their guns when they were more than three hundred meters away, and it was impossible to cause any casualties.

In fact, the high-quality rifled guns of this era also had a high lethality against the enemy at a distance of 400 meters, and the famous sniper Ferguson, who invented the Ferguson rifle, was also shot by a US sniper from a distance of 400 meters.

With a few gunners with particularly excellent shooting ability, such as Li Xian and Wang Erlang, they can actually hit these enemies who shoot from a distance, but at this time, there is little point in shooting, so they endure and watch the enemy shoot from a distance.

Seeing that the Mixed Yuan Guan side was no longer shooting, Zhu Jiu's side probably thought that his side had successfully suppressed the gunners of the Mixed Yuan Temple, and let out cheers, and then dozens of people stepped forward and pushed the four artillery pieces to the front of the formation.

Li Xian has good eyesight, and when he saw that these cannons didn't seem to be very heavy, they seemed to be only at the level of three-pounder guns or six-pounder guns, and these cannons had no gun carriages or gun racks, but a few people carried the cannons and barrels to the front of the battle, put them directly on the ground, and then began to clean the gun chambers, put gunpowder and shells, etc.

"Everyone should be careful to hide, and it is better not to come out of the way. Li Xian secretly gave an order.

In the minds of ordinary people, the power of artillery is definitely much higher than that of muskets, and many people show some fear, but inspired by the previous victory, they don't have much intention of retreating, but just hide according to Li Xian's orders.

After a while, Zhu Jiu's side adjusted the artillery and began to shoot this way, and the escort team immediately shrank in the trench.

After the cannon was ignited and fired, the sound was quite loud and the ground shook, but the effect was really unsatisfactory.

It turned out that the firing range of these four guns was extremely low, and none of the projectiles fired could reach the vicinity of the trenches, and they all fell down dozens of meters away, and the accuracy was also very poor, and the deviation was very serious.

Li Xian didn't hide it all the time, revealing half of his head to look at the effect of the artillery, and he couldn't help sneering when he saw this, the Qing artillery of this era was at this level.

Judging from the data of the Opium War, the British artillery had a maximum firing range of about 1,900 meters, and an effective firing range of 1,100 to 1,200 meters, while the imperial army of the Qing Dynasty did not have a maximum firing range of more than 500 meters, and the effective firing range was even more significant.

Li Xian had already seen that the artillery used by Zhu Jiu was all old-fashioned artillery used by the Qing official army, the kind that was to be ignited with a fire rope, the caliber was small and dilapidated, the maximum firing range would never exceed 300 meters, and the effective firing range was probably about 100 to 150 meters.

Zhu Jiu's artillery was all fired on the ground, and after the launch was completed, the barrel was jumped by the recoil, and they all pointed to their own troops behind, and the dozens of people who carried the artillery before rushed forward again, and after a while of cleaning up, they pointed the muzzle of the cannon to the front again, and began to clean it up again.

After two or three minutes, the artillery was finished and the projectile was fired again, this time after adjustment, the range of the artillery was increased a little, but only one shell passed through the trench where the escort was located and smashed into the open space more than ten meters behind, and the other three shells still barely reached the trench.

Then the artillerymen repeated the operation again, firing the projectile again.

However, after firing three rounds, the cannon was no longer used, but rushed over with a bucket or something, apparently to cool down the cannon and use it again.

"This cannon doesn't look good, doesn't it? Wang Erlang, or Wang Xiaoming, originally led his own team to stand by next to Li Xian, but when he saw the power of the artillery, he frowned and commented.

"The maximum range of these guns is not as good as rifled rifles, and the effective range is not as good as rifled rifles, so they are not very useful at all.

Even if they pushed in the artillery, narrowed the distance, and hit the shells near the trenches, we hid so tightly and the distance between everyone was long enough that the shells would hardly hurt us.

What's more, it only took more than ten minutes for four guns to fire 12 shells, and the density of this fire was too low.

Unless someone usually does something angry and resentful, and God wants to take this opportunity to accept him, otherwise we don't have to worry about being killed by shelling. Li Xian smiled slightly and made a spicy comment.

Wang Xiaoming was a squad leader during this time, and he was usually taught a lot of basic knowledge by Li Xian, and he was an excellent sniper, and he knew the meaning of terms such as maximum range, effective range and firepower density, and when he heard Li Xian's words, he nodded, and his fear of artillery was immediately eliminated a lot.

Zhu Jiu's side may have felt that the previous musket shooting and artillery shooting had some effect, at least the mixed yuan view side stopped shooting, and he became bolder, and took advantage of the moment when the dozens of gunners cooled the barrels, and sent more than a hundred people forward.
