Kong Quanxin, the battalion commander, was in the middle of the team, seeing the 20,000 Jiaozhi troops getting closer and closer, his face was also unchanged, and even if he looked closely, he could see the hint of disapproval in his eyes.

This is not because Kong Quanxin is careless, but Yang Chendong talked to him before he came, and he also said that an iron shield was being built in Hanoi City.

This is the credit of the Security Bureau, which has already penetrated into the countries that are false enemies after being injected with a large amount of gold and silver. As soon as there is any trouble, the news will be transmitted as soon as possible, so that the main force of the mercenary army can make the most correct judgment.

As a latecomer, no one knows the importance of intelligence better than him.

Later generations have long said that the first thing that determines the victory of a war is the source of military intelligence. Some people even exaggerated that seven points of intelligence and three points of battle. This shows the importance of military intelligence to an army.

It was precisely with the advance preparation that Yang Chendong told the Jiaozhi Army that was building an iron car with an iron shield when Kong Quanxin was about to lead the army to the battle. Not only that, but he also gave a countermeasure plan.

The advantage of iron shields is their hardness, and their appearance is indeed effective in blocking the shooting of flying bullets.

It's just that its shortcomings are more obvious. For example, slow movement, such as inflexibility. Even with these shortcomings, it is naturally very easy to deal with, only a burst of grenades is thrown up, and it will form a trend of scattered flowers of the Heavenly Maiden, so that unless the place is very narrow, otherwise in the face of the fragments under the explosion in all directions, no iron shield is enough.

As for the iron car? Hehe, whether it's a bazooka or a four-zero fire, it's all a hand-to-hand momentum.

Think of the battlefields of later generations, where even moving tanks were afraid of rocket launcher attacks, let alone the clumsy iron carts that only moved on their legs.

got the news first, which made Kong Quanxin not show the slightest panicked expression when he saw the iron shield approaching step by step. To say that what he is worried about now is just whether Tiance can hold down the position. After all, the distance at which the grenade can be thrown is always limited, and whether the mercenaries in front can withstand the pressure of the Cochin army and strike at the most opportune time has become the top priority under this battle.

With the continuous expansion of the mercenary team, there are more and more middle-level cadres at the regimental and battalion levels. And under what circumstances can we see whether a person's military talent can be entrusted with important tasks?

Undoubtedly, war is the best battlefield and way to test commanders.

Kong Quanxin deliberately wanted to test the talent of the Tiance Company Commander, so he didn't say a word from beginning to end, but just watched all this from the perspective of a bystander. Of course, if Tiance is really useless, then the second, third, and fourth company commanders who have been waiting on the side for a long time can replace them at any time.

This is also the preparation that Kong Quanxin made behind Tiance's back. I believe that even if the company commander of Tiance knows about these things afterwards, he will not have any dissatisfaction, after all, the situation on the battlefield has always been ever-changing, and the commander who does not leave a backup hand is the most unworthy of his duties.

After instructing the subordinates of a company and the auxiliary soldiers of a battalion equipped with him to take out the grenades and prepare them, he took the 95-type and fired a shot at the target of the Jiaozhi soldiers in front of him.

"Horn!"

The sound of the gun was very light, and the bullet flew straight away from the chamber of the gun, hitting the shield of a cross-toed soldier as Tiance had envisioned. Under the sound of the impact of the iron objects, a lighter and more brittle collision sound was produced.

The gunshot rang out, and Ruan Gengwang, who was riding on the horse, had very wide eyes, and his expression was a little unnatural. Although the prince said that these iron shields were made of pure iron, and the musket should be impenetrable, after all, he had not done any experiments, and he still had some confidence in his heart.

So much so that after the gunshot, his whole nerves tensed. All this was not until the bullet hit the body of the iron shield, producing a trace of sparks, and then he was greatly relieved, and then pointed ahead with a smile and said to the subordinates, "See, the other party's musket has no effect on us." ”

"Hahaha." The subordinates also laughed in agreement. They were indeed a little nervous before, don't look at them taking the initiative to launch an offensive, and their morale is amazing. But before I ran into the musket, I really didn't know the bottom of my heart. Well, now that the facts have allowed them to put their hearts down.

Not only the generals, but also the soldiers below were frightened by this shot at first, but when they saw that the ranks in front of them did not have the slightest confusion and inappropriateness, these people also let go of their courage, so that when they shouted the slogan "enter", the voice was much louder and faster.

"Sure enough, it's made of pure iron, amazing!" Tiance, who fired a shot, took back the Ninety-Five Style, and then shook his head, although there was some disappointment in his expression, but there was no fear at all. Obviously, this result was expected by him.

The teams of both sides are still rapidly approaching, 400 meters... Three hundred meters... Two hundred meters...

As they approached step by step, the two teams could already clearly see each other's lineups, and a tense atmosphere began to permeate, and the emotions of war and shouting and killing were also rapidly condensing, focusing...

One hundred and fifty meters... One hundred and thirty meters... One hundred meters...

At such a distance, when the two sides could already see each other's figures and appearances, the archers of the Cochin Army hiding behind the iron shield were also ready to open their bows and draw arrows.

With 2,000 archers, it is conceivable that if they are not stopped, they will be followed by a rain of bows and arrows falling from the sky.

"Comrades-in-arms, rush thirty meters, drop bombs, shoot." Keeping his eyes on the other party's every move, and seeing that the other party was about to take the lead, the Tiance Company Commander, who had been lazy, suddenly yelled as if he had changed someone, and then took the lead and rushed forward.

Tiance's actions also drove the soldiers around him to run out one by one. A cold front company and an auxiliary battalion, totaling 500 people, flew forward like arrows from the string.

For a soldier who had to run 25 kilometers in a day's regular training, the distance of 30 meters was a sprint, and in just a few seconds, they rushed over the required distance, and then 500 grenades flew forward like rain.

Under the 30-meter run, the grenade flew much farther than before, and basically every grenade was thrown at a distance of more than 60 meters, so that the distance of 100 meters was instantaneous.

The Cochin army had not yet fully reacted, including the 2,000 archers, who had just set up their bows, and before they could release their arrows, the grenades that came from the sky fell on top of their heads.

"What the hell is this?"

Instinctively, many Jiaozhi soldiers had such questions in their hearts. But just as the thoughts in their minds were formed, the grenades that had been thrown were already bursting above their heads, around them, and under their feet.

"Boom, boom..."

The earthquake trembled, shrapnel flew sideways...

Flames rise, smoke lingers...

With all kinds of sudden changes, the formation of the 1,000 iron shield bearers who walked in front of the Jiaozhi army finally loosened.

These iron shield bearers were originally holding shields that were not lightweight, and after walking for nearly three miles, they were already very tired, and suddenly there was a loud noise around them and air waves, mainly the attack of various fragments, which made them unsuspecting at this moment.

They just wanted to guard against the muskets in front of them, and they didn't think that such powerful explosives would suddenly explode around them.

The Iron Shieldmen, who seemed to be the most heavily defended, were the first to break up, and the two thousand archers standing in the second row behind them were similarly disorganized.

The advantage of an archer is that they can kill enemies from a distance. But the same disadvantage is also very obvious, that is, once the protective barrier is lost, the chest will be completely exposed in front of the opponent, so that there is no defense at all.

Not to mention, the explosion of grenades hit the top of their heads, and I don't know how many archers were killed, injured and maimed under the huge power of this grenade.

As one row of iron shield soldiers and two rows of archers were defeated, the entire camp of Cochin soldiers began to be chaotic, surrounded by explosions and fireworks, and they didn't even know what to do next.

The Jiaozhi soldiers were stunned, and the formation was chaotic. The mercenaries didn't mess around, they threw grenades and started shooting with their guns.

Five hundred people are facing 20,000 enemies, and there is no need to aim at all, they only need to adjust the 95 style and 81 bar to a state of continuous fire, and just sweep directly.

"Da-da-da... Da-da-da..."

Bullets continued to erupt from the muzzle of the guns, pouring into the army of cross-chin soldiers on the opposite side. Whenever there was a burst of hot fire from the machine guns, a large number of Cochin soldiers fell to the ground, and they did not understand the situation at all, and they did not know what was going on, so many people fell to the ground and died with unknown emotions, and some of the Cochin soldiers who were lucky not to be hit by bullets reflexively fled.

When people encounter danger, they will give birth to an instinct, and this instinct is to turn around and run away. Unless something more terrifying happens behind you, you will run until you can't run anymore.
