On the edge of the forest at the foot of Jiulian Mountain, Pang Ban's face sank.

Pang Ban originally thought that tens of thousands of white-armored soldiers would attack, and there were only more than 800 soldiers (originally 1,000 and 5, but after the first few major battles, only more than 800 could still fight), and they were not able to capture it, not to mention that it was raining in the sky, and people's firearms were not easy to use.

I didn't expect the Huaxia Army's team to be so tenacious, and they could maintain the front at this time, and the most important thing was that according to the current combat situation, these more than 50,000 white-armored soldiers really couldn't beat these 800 human troops.

"When has this human army been so strong that it can fight to this extent without being defeated.

Moreover, what is the matter with those grenades, they can still explode normally in such heavy rain?"

As the most outstanding disciple of the Inhuman Temple's generation, Pang Ban has also participated in many battles against the Northern Martial Arts, and has also captured a large number of grenades in the process.

It is said that this kind of grenade is indeed very powerful and very useful, but when it is used, it is necessary to use the ignition to ignite the fuse and throw it, which is very affected in this rainy day, that is, the ignited fuse after throwing it may be extinguished in the air and form a dud, but now it seems that the grenade of the Huaxia Army is almost unaffected, what is going on.

After all, Pomban was in contact with the war a few years ago, and he only knew about the kind of grenade with an exposed lead, and he had never seen this kind of pull-ring grenade newly produced by the Huaxia Army, so he could not understand why the grenade of the Huaxia Army could explode in a rainy day.

Of course, Li Xian's 800 people have been able to persist until now, in addition to good weapons, proper tactics, complete arms, and high physical fitness of the soldiers, the most important point is that they have undergone strict training in peacetime and have undergone many harsh war trainings, so that the troops still do not give up confidence and can cooperate sincerely under such a bad situation.

If this were not the case, but with eight hundred martial arts masters, even if the overall martial arts cultivation and quality were higher than Li Xian's, I am afraid that they would be pushed down by the corpse soldiers because of insufficient cooperation.

Li Xian's side miraculously maintained the battle line, and the test on Hai Dagui's side finally came.

It stands to reason that Hai Dagui's side has built a camp in advance, and there are certain defensive facilities, and the forts are also complete, so it is easier to defend, but in fact this is not the case.

Li Xian camped here the day before and built a camp, which was originally strong, but it was a little reluctant to resist the attack of hundreds of thousands of corpse soldiers.

The defenses of the entire camp resemble several concentric circles superimposed on top of each other, and the outermost circle is a few trenches to prevent the enemy from sneaking up;

Behind the trench is a circle of barbed wire, and the wrought iron processing capacity of the Huaxia Army has been continuously improved, and it has the ability to produce a large number of high-quality iron wires, which can now afford to use barbed wire;

Behind the barbed wire was a trench, behind which was a low wall;

Inside the low wall, where the large army was stationed, there were a large number of artillery batteries and mountains of military supplies.

Normally, this arrangement is quite perfect, even if there are more than 100,000 Qing troops attacking, it is impossible to break through such a camp, but it is a pity that the current attack is wearing heavy armor and not knowing the fear of corpse soldiers, and the number is more than 200,000.

Whether it is rocket artillery or artillery, the maximum firing range is about 1,900 meters, and the effective firing range is 1,200 meters.

Now it is pouring rain, and the range of artillery is slightly affected, but the range is about 10 percent shorter; comparatively speaking, because of structural problems, rocket artillery is even more affected, and it can hardly hit a kilometer away.

The number of artillery pieces and rocket launchers displayed by the Huaxia Army had reached 150, but at this time, it took out all the belongings and it was as many as 200 guns, but the actual power was much worse than the 150 artillery pieces when it had not rained.

On the other side of the river, the white armor soldiers and Li Xian's troops were almost close to each other, and in order to avoid accidental injury, most of the artillery no longer fired at the other side of the river, and only 50 guns were still firing across the river.

Under the command of Hai Dagui, about 150 artillery pieces and rocket artillery fired at the approaching corpse soldiers, causing huge casualties to the white armor soldiers at once, and at least tens of thousands of corpse soldiers fell within a distance of 1,500 to 500 meters.

If it was an ordinary human soldier, he would have been frightened at this time and retreated, but the corpse soldier did not know the pain and was not afraid of death, but aroused the ferocity and howled to speed up.

The trenches in the outermost circle were supposed to delay the attackers' footsteps, but the corpse soldiers were not flexible and didn't know how to stop, they just kept advancing, and then a large number of corpse soldiers fell into the trenches.

After the first row fell to the bottom of the trench, the second row did not stop, continued to move forward and fell, followed by the third and fourth rows.

However, this mistake also has a wrong move, after enough corpse soldiers fall, they actually use their bodies to fill the trench, which is almost the same as the flat ground, and the corpse soldiers behind can pass directly.

After passing the trench and reaching the barbed wire, the barbed wire was high and low, some of the corpses were stopped by the barbed wire under their feet and fell to the ground, and some of the corpses hit the higher barbed wire and were then hanged.

It's just that most of these corpse soldiers are wearing heavy armor, and they themselves are corpses, and they don't know the pain, even if they are scratched by barbed wire, they are struggling to move forward, which is far less affected than the human soldiers.

Moreover, most of these corpse soldiers were holding heavy weapons such as maces and broadswords and axes, or they used the weapons in their hands to cut the barbed wire, and if it was really not possible, a few corpse soldiers fell to the ground and folded their bodies on the barbed wire for the corpse soldiers behind them to pass.

In short, both the barbed wire and the trenches have a certain hysteresis effect, but the effect is not very great when the white-armored soldiers charge hard at a cost.

At this time, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army guarding behind the trenches or low walls behind the barbed wire fence also began to fight back and shoot one after another.

The firearms used by the soldiers of the Chinese army are divided into flintlock firing and fire cap firing, the so-called flintlock firing is to pour gunpowder powder into the fire door, and then use a flint hammer to ignite the bullet.

As for the fire cap gun, it can be understood that mercury thunderate is poured into the fire door instead of gunpowder powder, and then hit with a metal hammer to ignite the gunpowder in the chamber and shoot the bullet.

Generally speaking, the success rate of flintlock pistols is 85 percent, and this figure drops to 50 to 70 percent on rainy days; as for the success rate of fire cap guns, it can reach more than 90 percent, and more than 70 percent on rainy days, and the waterproof performance is better than that of flint firing.

From the point of view of performance, the fire cap gun is naturally better than the flintlock gun, but because of factors such as price and habits, the popularity rate of the fire cap gun and the flintlock gun is almost the same, that is, in Li Xianjun, its proportion is also half of each.

This practice is not usually much, but at times like today, it is very obvious.

"Damn, it's better for the whole army to switch to muskets in the future. Hai Dagui saw this clearly when he was directing the battle, and cursed in a low voice.
