"Keep up and get in line...... Don't mess around! ”

A man wearing a steel helmet, a green military uniform, and a grass-green stab-proof suit on the outside bent over, holding a firearm, cautiously looking around as he advanced, his mouth kept shouting, in front of him was a row of sergeants holding shields, and the task of these sergeants was to use the shields in their hands to protect the robes behind them from being damaged by cold arrows.

This is the halfway point of the peak on the right side of the wild boar ridge, under the command of Gou Xingma, the seventh battalion dispatched two brigades (thousand people) to attack the liukou from the left and right slopes respectively, but the team marched to the halfway up the mountain, except for chatting about the figure of a few liukou, did not find a large number of liukou.

Mr. Qian, who led the team, did not neglect because of this, but ordered the sergeants to slow down and disperse the formation.

At the top of the mountain ridge on the right side of the Wild Boar Ridge, He Yilong looked at the Jiang Ning army who was advancing in a neat queue like a great enemy, and his face showed impatience, he didn't expect that these Ming troops would be so calm, and they could rush up the mountain in one go, they were still so careful.

After thinking about it, he said to a rogue beside him: "You immediately send someone to tell Kong Xiaoer, let him try to shoot arrows at the Ming army and disrupt their formation." ”

"Understood!"

The Liukou archers who received He Yilong's order leaned out from behind the stones and trees where they were hiding, and bent their bows and arrows to shoot at the Ming army who were slowly advancing up the mountain.

"Be careful!"

A Bai Zong, who was directing the sergeant forward, saw the black shadow flashing in front of him, and immediately shouted.

"The thieves are about to release their arrows, hurry up and hide!"

"Whoosh ......"

In the dull sound of bowstrings, arrows were shot down the mountain.

And just when President Bai shouted loudly, the sergeant who walked in the front immediately gathered together as fast as possible, lined up in three rows, put up the shield, and hid tightly behind the shield. The shield-bearers in the second and third rows hold their shields together and raise them diagonally above their heads.

"Dangdang...... Dangdangdang......"

No sooner had the shield-bearers done this than hundreds of arrows rained down on their heads, striking the shields with a crisp, dull metal crash.

In addition to the crisp metal impact, there was a dull sound from time to time, which was the sound of an arrow hitting the sergeant, but fortunately, the sergeants of the Jiangning Army were wearing stab-proof suits and helmets on their heads, so the casualties were not high, and whenever the sergeant fell after the arrow, the companions next to him would drag him to the back as soon as possible.

In the face of the rain of arrows from the rogues, the commander of the battle behind them was also anxious, and now they were still three or four hundred meters away from the rogues, and the brown beisi firearms they were equipped with could not cause damage to the enemy at this distance, but the rogues could use their condescending advantage to shoot arrows at them.

Charge or defense, this is the difficult problem in front of Mr. Qian.

A Bai general manager found him, "My lord, give the order to charge, it's only a few hundred meters, as long as we can rush to a distance of eighty meters, let's let the thieves see how powerful we are." ”

"No, the terrain here is too complicated, and if we charge, our team will have to be dispersed, so that the role of the shield array will be lost, and the lives of the brothers cannot be wasted like this. Herald, report to the grandfather of the country immediately and ask for artillery camp support! ”

"Understood!"

"Hahahaha...... Brothers, shoot me with arrows and kill all these dogs! ”

He Yilong, who was on the top of the mountain, looked at the Ming army who was huddled behind the shield and couldn't take a step forward, this feeling that I can only beat you, but you can't hit me is really too happy.

He Yilong has even thought of what happened after the war, this is the famous Jiangning Army, if these Ming troops can be annihilated, his "Geli Eye" Ming will inevitably spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.

And what he coveted the most was the firecrackers in the hands of these Jiangning Army, when he was in Shaanxi, he had fought with Lu Xiangsheng's new army, and at that time he didn't understand the power of firecrackers, and countless corpses fell in front of the rows of firecrackers, if he could also equip thousands of firearms, his strength would immediately undergo earth-shaking changes, and it was unknown that he could become the most powerful force in the 36th battalion.

It's a pity that He Yilong's idea is good, but he underestimates Jiang Ningjun too much.

As for the situation on the hillside, Gou Xingma below had already seen it clearly, and when he received a request for help from Mr. Qian, he did not hesitate to give the order to open fire on the artillery battalion.

"Let it go...... Put! ”

With a deafening cannon sound, the muzzles of one cannon cannon burst into a fierce fire.

In the roar of shells, one shell after another fell on the ridge.

"Woo......"

An eighteen-pound flowering bullet with a low whimper slammed into the trunk of a large tree, smashing the bucket-thick uncle out of fist-sized pits before it bounced heavily to the ground, rolled for a few meters and suddenly exploded.

The sound of the explosion and the thick smoke of the rupture covered the surrounding area of more than ten meters, and hundreds of bullets and steel balls inside flew everywhere under the impetus of gunpowder, knocking six or seven rogues to the ground, and several rogues who did not die.

The sudden shelling also made the rogue archers who were shooting happily stunned, but the faces of some of the archers who had fought with Lu Xiangsheng changed greatly, and they still did not forget the power of the explosive projectile shot by the other party when they fought with Lu Xiangsheng's new army, which was simply a monster that could destroy everything.

"Ah......h

"Officers and soldiers are firing, run."

Some of the archers turned around and immediately ran backwards, while some of the archers who had not been poisoned by the artillery tea were still standing in place.

"Brush ......"

The artillery battalion at the foot of the hill did not care about the lives of these rogues, and when the cannon was fired, one loader took the cannon brush and brushed the chamber, and another loaded the gunpowder and the other filled the shell. Loading, aiming, firing, calmly, almost in one go.

Although the gunners of the third battalion artillery battalion have been stationed in Jiangningwei for a long time and have almost never participated in actual combat, they can't bear to have a local tyrant boss, who has live-fire training every month, and after shooting so much ammunition out, no matter how stupid people are, they have become proficient in pits.

Although at this moment they could not reach the speed of four rounds per minute of the first and second artillery battalions in Fujian and Luzon, five or six rounds could still be done.

"Put it again!"

Another whistling of shells.

More than 200 shells roared down on the Wild Boar Ridge, accompanied by a violent explosion, and the rogues who had no awareness of anti-artillery suffered heavy casualties.
