After speaking, Liu Pei immediately began to assign tasks, and said: "Send 100 sword and shield men on the left and right sides to surround it, but don't rush to attack." Your aim is to stop each other after defeating them. If you can take a captive, take a captive. ”

Liu Pei paused for a moment and then said: "Looking at them, there are probably less than 150 people. We also sent the same number of men to fight them. Let's send 130 people. 100 musketeers lined up to meet the enemy, two rows of horizontal formations. The remaining 30 spots are sent to the Hunters. ”

The Hunters are not really a special class, but they don't have the same guns as other soldiers. Ordinary soldiers used smoothbore guns, while the muskets they used were rifled and had a relatively long range.

Because of their long range, they can easily hit an enemy outside of the enemy's range without being hit by the enemy. So it's pretty useful in skirmishes. Even in large-scale battles, hunters are often sent out as vanguards to harass the opponent's queue and demoralize the opponent.

The Hunter is a useful class. This tactic of hunting was very popular in the period around the time of the French Revolution. Alexandre Dumas once described the scene of the hunters fighting in "A Tale of Two Heroes".

The 200 sword and shield men quickly left the camp and ran into the distance. They were to approach the enemy ranks from the flanks in a long circle. Of course, the Dutch also saw the sword and shield men running away. They could also vaguely guess the purpose of the sword and shield hand. This made them feel that they were being somewhat underestimated, and there was even a small increase in morale.

And when they saw that the number of soldiers in the line in front of them was almost equal to theirs, and the other soldiers on the other side were not dispatched, they were simply overjoyed. They believe they can easily defeat each other and blow up their artillery. After all, those cannons were clearly placed behind the opponent's gunner.

And behind those firecrackers, there is also a group of imposing people gathered. Imagine that they are the leaders of each other. If we can capture them, maybe this war will be over completely! When the time comes, I must thank the other party for his stupid chivalric demeanor.

At this time, Liu Pei saw that the other party's team had been sorted out and was slowly walking towards him. Liu Bei commanded: "The hunters can attack." The Musketeer moved slowly. ”

When the hunters heard the order, they immediately cheered and ran forward. These hunters were the best firefighters selected by Liu Pei's army. Not only is the fire shot accurate, but people also have to be clever and brave. Otherwise, it would be difficult to take on the duties of a hunter.

Otherwise, the chaspers, who were originally sent to weaken the opponent's forces and demoralize the opponent. As a result, it was killed and the morale of the other party was raised, and it became a joke.

The hunters, who had been honored as the first to strike, cheered loudly as they ran. And in the course of the run, two loose groups gradually formed, circling the two wings of the Dutch.

It has to be said that the Dutch people are still very smart when it comes to site selection. Around the city of Purumunsha is a large area of flat land. The flat ground is overgrown with bushes. Relatively large trees are almost non-existent, or have been cut down by the Dutch. It's a great place to build a castle, but it's also a good place to be a battlefield.

The two loose hunting regiments formed a rough arc as they ran, like two brackets on the left and one on the right, wrapping the Dutch team diagonally in the middle. After estimating that the other party was in range, the hunters stood still and raised their firearms to aim at each other.

Somehow, the hunter felt sure that he was sure, and fired the first buckshot of the battle into the Dutch column! With a "bang", one of the Dutch soldiers immediately fell on his back, and the buckshot hit him in the chest, and he died immediately!

With this gunshot, the rifled guns in the hands of the other hunters also fired sporadically. On average, every two or three shots were fired, a Dutch soldier fell to the ground screaming. But the Dutch soldiers were still stubbornly pushing forward.

The commander in the ranks, having taken a certain blow, calculated the range. He quickly gave the order, directing to the left and right at the same time. When he shouted "shoot", two neat salvos immediately sounded! It shows that this is indeed a well-trained army.

However, their shooting did not yield any results. Because the ranks of the privates were too scattered. They are a large group of people shooting at one person, it is simply useless. The hunters, on the other hand, shoot at a large group of people alone, and almost every shot pays off. The form is not good for the Dutch!

The priest who watched the battle was full of confidence at first, and he felt that he would consider the negotiation after Liu Pei failed. Although the priest did not go directly to the battlefield, he did stay on the edge of the battlefield. According to the history of the Dutch battles in the past, after the army has two platoons of guns, the opponent will be shaken if it does not break up! Often after a few rounds of gunning, the opposing army's army collapses.

But now the two sides are still firing each other. In fact, the disadvantages of the hunters are also obvious. It's that their rifled guns are very slow to load. In terms of overall rate of fire, it is not comparable to the opponent's smoothbore gun. But their accuracy and range effectively compensate for this.

After several rounds of firefighting, both sides were killed and wounded. The hunters fell five or six people. And the fallen Dutch were several times more numerous than them. At least two dozen people fell, and the ranks of the Dutch were already visibly disorganized.

Liu Pei also saw a brave hunter being knocked to the ground after reloading. He stubbornly got up, half-kneeling, and raised his fire gun to shoot a vengeful buckshot at the other party. After seeing the other party fall down, he slowly fell down.

The confrontation between the two sides was brutal and merciless. This moment completely reveals the wisdom of all human killings. But the battle will continue until one side is completely defeated.

The sacrifices of the hunters were meaningful. While consuming the opponent's troops, they effectively lowered the opponent's morale and disrupted their formation. So much so that when Liu Pei's hundred musketeers had already lined up to approach them, their formation had not recovered completely.

The officer who led the team was very brave, and when he found that the Dutch soldiers on the opposite side were not in full formation, he took a dozen more steps forward with the squad before officially stopping. After a short moment of formation, he just shouted the order: "Aim! ”

The firecrackers immediately took the firecrackers from their shoulders and leveled them down. A commotion completely woke up the Dutch people on the other side. Just as the Dutch soldiers were staring at the black hole of the fire, the officer shouted: "Shoot!" ”
