Chapter 85: Before the Battle (Third Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

(Cat flutter Chinese)

"Kill!" Although the roar kept coming into his ears, Yu Shujie's eyes were staring at the people who were driven by the Qing army, although the cries of those people seemed to be constantly coming into his ears, but he knew very well in his heart that it would not work like this.

"Battalion commander, no, if you walk over like this, the people will rush over...... "Not only Yu Shujie himself, almost everyone knows what the result of these tens of thousands of people rushing to the main formation of the Chinese army is, and the military formation is likely to be scattered!"

Kill! In a burst of roars, Yu Shujie looked towards the position of the Chinese army, and he could see that the marshal wearing black armor was following the army, if the Chinese army was scattered by the people!

No way! Yu Shujie gritted his teeth suddenly, he pulled out the saber on his waist, and his right hand was horizontal.

"Stop!" At this command, the drummer beside him immediately struck the leather drum at his waist, and the drum beat was so rapid that for the bird-soldiers, they had adapted to the order given by the sound of the drum, which was the order to stop advancing.

What's going on? Although they were a little surprised, they still stopped, and all the birdmen held the butts of their guns in their right hands, and all looked in the direction of the battalion commander with some surprise.

"Raise your gun!" Under the gaze of the soldiers, Yu Shujie continued to give orders in his mouth. Because the guns were already loaded, the soldiers had already opened the locks when they raised their guns and prepared them to shoot.

"Aim!" With the order of the password, the bird gunners aimed ahead, and they were on the flank, and in front of them were both civilians and cavalry on horses.

Just like the training in the past, although the training time was not long, but under that kind of coherent action, these bird-fired soldiers did not hesitate at all when they received the order to "fire", and immediately pulled the trigger.

With a puff of white smoke and the sound of firecrackers, in front of them, the people who were originally running fell to the ground as if they had been slammed by a giant hammer, and the Qing cavalry riding on horses nearby also fell a lot.

Although because of the distance, the accuracy of the firearm is average, it still makes those Qing troops who were originally wantonly blocking the people hesitate, and no longer wantonly obstruct the people as before.

"Fire ......" is another salvo, several rows of birds, as in the past training, aim, shoot, and then retreat to the back row, take out the cartridge containing the projectile and gunpowder from the cartridge on the waist, then bite the cartridge through, pour the gunpowder of the cartridge into the pool, close the lid of the pool, pour the gunpowder in the cartridge into the tube, and directly plug the bullet into the barrel with the paper shell...... Although the steps may seem tedious, they are much more convenient than the arquebus.

Almost at the moment when the sound of the gun sounded beside him, Zhang Xiaojie, who was originally worried about the Chinese army being collided, immediately shouted loudly,

"Everyone shouted together, the people fled to both sides, and those who dared to rush our army will be killed!" Zhang Xiaojie's order immediately converged into the shouts of the officers and soldiers, and these heavily armored infantrymen, with sabers in hand, shouted loudly as they advanced.

"The people fled to both sides, and those who dared to rush our army will be killed!"

"Those who dare to rush our army will be killed!" If it's just a shout, it doesn't mean anything, but when the opposite military array continues to send out fatal bullets, those people who were originally rushing to the Qing cavalry can only cry and flee to both sides, they were originally driven by fear, just rushed forward blankly, when they were blocked by the oncoming bullets, after facing the fear of death in the front, the two sides became their hope for life.

There is the butcher's knife of the Qing army in the back, and the bullet of the bird gun in the front!

"Those who dare to rush our army will be killed!" In the deafening roar, those people who were just desperately running forward fled to both sides, thus making way for the charging heavy armor, at this time, a burst of artillery sounded from the rear of the loyal army, that is, the gunners of the loyal army under the order of the officer, fired at the rear of the people, whether they were accurate or not, their purpose was to disperse the Qing army in the rear of the people, so as to protect the people.

"Boom!" Hearing the explosion in front of him, and seeing that in the explosion of the flowering shells, those cavalry were blown apart, and those Han people who should have rushed into battle fled in all directions, Dasu's brows furrowed, and an ominous premonition suddenly surged in his heart.

However, this premonition was only a moment's work, although it failed to defeat its army as expected, but it was just an attempt!

"Tell the Redcoat Artillery Team to prepare!" Just as Dasu ordered his artillery team to prepare to bombard the enemy position, in the rear of the Loyal Army, Xu Youzheng, who was riding on a horse, was running wildly and shouting.

"All horse cannons are immediately front-loaded, immediately front-loaded!" And beside him, the trumpeter, who was also on horseback, blew the trumpet.

The trumpeter held a copper cornet in his hand, which Xu Youzheng bought from Shi Si, which was very short and easy to use.

The reason why he emphasized the horse cannon was because half of the artillery team of the Loyal Army was drawn by mules, and the mules were easily frightened by the guns on the battlefield, so they could not move with the army, and only thirty-two guns were drawn by horses.

Xu Youzheng, on the other hand, followed closely with the artillery team, directing them to move towards a new position, so that they could cover the infantry attack.

This is precisely the responsibility of the artillerymen! Countless times, Zhu Mingzhong instilled in Xu Youzheng the concept of field artillery, the core of which was to cover infantry attacks.

In this regard, not to mention being a latecomer, even the army of this era will also use it on the battlefield.

When the artillery team of the Loyal and Righteous Army moved forward, the red-coated cannons of the Qing Army had begun to roar, compared with the six-pound guns used by the Loyal and Righteous Army, half of the artillery used by the Qing Army was more than six pounds of heavy artillery, although it was cumbersome, although it took them nearly an hour to transport it off the gun truck and reinstall it on the gun carriage, but now it does not hinder their firepower.

The iron cannonballs can easily tear apart the armor and tear a huge blood hole in the heavy armor, even if the iron bullets that fall on the ground are rolling, the inertia is enough to smash the legs and feet of the soldiers.

With the artillery bombardment of the Qing army, the wail began to sound among the loyal and righteous army, and the miserable howl of the wounded soldiers, and the bloody wind and rain set off by one shell, seemed to be about to suppress the sharp spirit of the loyal and righteous army.

And the loyal and righteous army, which is constantly advancing, seems to have to be passively beaten in the face of this shell. But in spite of this, the officers and men of the Loyal and Righteous Army still faced the constant incoming shells and marched forward step by step...... At this time, Zhu Mingzhong, who was in the Chinese army, would be looking ahead with red eyes, for him, no one can stop him now, and there is only one thought left in his mind.

Kill! Kill all the captives in the world! Cat flutter Chinese
