Although the Houjin Army had to be at least 2 or 30 meters away to shoot through the combat vests of the soldiers of the Huaxia Army with bulletproof steel plates.

However, the stragglers of the Later Jin Army, who used strong bows, used bows and arrows at a much higher rate of fire than most of the Chinese infantry who used rifles.

Therefore, while the Huaxia Army caused more than 500 casualties to the Houjin Army, the Houjin Army also caused nearly 100 casualties to the Huaxia Army in a short period of time.

Fortunately, the power of the bow and arrow is limited, unlike the 18.5mm caliber rifle used by the Huaxia Army, which has such a strong lethality rate, and the number of soldiers who died directly on the spot after being shot by the bow and arrow is not too many, which is a blessing in misfortune.

Finally, under the pressure of the special service platoon and several infantry platoons, the enemy's stragglers continued to retreat, and the distance between several spy platoons and the Houjin army formation was getting closer and closer.

Slowly, in the continuous firing and advancing, the distance between the two sides was less than the last 50 meters.

The marching drums of several spy platoons and infantry platoons in the vanguard of the Huaxia Army suddenly stopped, turning into a slow drum beat at intervals.

"Flat guns!" The officers of several platoons roared almost at the same time.

There were 3 special service platoons in front of the Huaxia Army's position, plus 3 infantry platoons that filled the gap in the middle, a total of 6 platoons of array, and the rifles in the hands of all the soldiers were flattened.

At this time, the drumming of the Tartars was also slowed down, and the Houjin army also began to lay down the spears in their hands under a hurried order, preparing to engage the Huaxia army that was blocking the way.

Densely packed 4-meter-long spears were placed flat, although they held them in a variety of ways, and did not have the effect of uniformity.

However, when the sharp spear tip appeared in front of the Houjin Army array, it was still very shocking.

The soldiers of the Houjin Army, maintaining a flat battle line, slowed down their pace, and slowly approached step by step.

When using this kind of spear, which is more than four meters long, which was learned from the Huaxia army, it is difficult for the soldiers to accurately judge the timing of the spurt.

If you just hold your spear and rush past a random thrust, there will often be all kinds of unpredictable chaos.

So, as now, slowly approaching the enemy and then looking for the right moment to make a spur is the most suitable way to fight with a spear more than 4 meters long.

Although the Houjin army made a look of immediate melee combat, the Huaxia army did not give a corresponding response.

Although these six platoons of Huaxia Army had bayonets stuck in their rifles, the ammunition in their rifles had not yet been fired.

What's more, the enemy has thousands of men and horses, and their team here is only 6 platoons and only a few hundred people, so how can they be so unthinkable to fight with the Houjin army with bayonets!

You must know that the task of the forward troops, on the one hand, is to drive away the stragglers in front of the Houjin army to reduce the enemy's attack on their own side.

On the other hand, they acted as skirmishers of the Huaxia Army, pinning down the advance speed of the Houjin Army, and buying more time for the firepower projection on the large infantry formation in the rear, so that they could kill and injure the Houjin Army within a safe range.

Therefore, after the Houjin army was ready to slowly engage the enemy, the fighters of the 6 platoons together sent out a round of salvos at close range.

This can almost be regarded as being fired against the face of the Houjin army, so the results are very huge, just such a round of shooting, compared to the previous half hour of battle, the total number of all the results is about thirty percent.

After firing this round, the soldiers of the three ordinary infantry platoons quickly began to retreat, ran to a distance of 20 meters, and began the related work of reloading.

The other three spy platoons pulled the sleeve in unison to withdraw from the shell that had finished firing the warhead, and then, at the moment of locking, reloaded a ammunition from the barrel into the chamber.

"Put!"

A roar that almost pierced the sky was heard, along with the sound of the order to launch.

While the Houjin army was replenishing the vacant positions that had just been opened up by that round of musket fire, another salvo of muskets, which had been about half the number of muskets, struck again.

The fighters of the more than 100 special service platoons once again made uneven gaps in the enemy's already devastated array.

Of course, this is still not the end, because the pump-action rifle of the special service platoon can be loaded with 7+1 rounds of ammunition at one time.

In addition, the fighters of the special service platoon, before the final contact with the enemy, also specially checked and reloaded the ammunition once to make up the amount of ammunition in the barrel.

Therefore, when the Houjin army slowly approached the forward straggler queue of the Huaxia army, it was not a simple salvo or two to greet the Houjin army. Rather, it was a full 8 volleys.

This round of powerful firepower volleys instantly blinded the Houjin army.

In the previous years of fighting, because all the nearby sea areas were blocked by the Huaxia Navy.

Therefore, the battle report and summary of the situation on the Houjin side could not be delivered to Houjin Shenyang in a timely and accurate manner, resulting in great errors and omissions and delays in the Houjin army's understanding of the Huaxia army.

Since the Huaxia Army landed in the Liaodong region, it has only fought three times on a large scale with the Houjin Army, and, with the addition of today, it is only the third battle.

Moreover, in these three battles, the first time was completely a one-man show of the heavy artillery battalion, and the large army of the Houjin Army didn't even see what the large army of the Huaxia Army looked like, so they broke and fled all the way.

The second time was the battle to conquer Jinzhou City, and the Huaxia Army fought smoothly in that battle, and all the enemies who had been within the range of the Huaxia Army's rifles basically failed to escape.

This series of situations has also created a pump-action rifle of the Huaxia Army to give the Houjin Army a strong shock and blow again and again, as it is today.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Houjin army did not come to their senses, the soldiers of the three spy platoons quickly ran to the back under the orders of the officer.

Some of the hot-tempered members of the Houjin army found that the three spy platoons actually ran away after the fight, knowing that their muskets and ammunition were finished, and they were willing to let them go back easily, so they involuntarily came out of the crowd and pursued them.

The spy platoon didn't pay any attention to the group of chasing soldiers who kept screaming behind them, and just kept running away.

However, when they fled, they still maintained a general formation, and deliberately moved out of the way of the previous infantry platoons.

There, there were also 3 infantry platoons of fighters, loaded with ammunition, waiting for the next round of shooting.

Sure enough, when the soldiers of the special service platoon ran through the passage next to the three infantry platoons, they heard the officers of the infantry platoon shouting loudly and giving orders.

"Aim!"

"Shoot!"

The pursuers of the Houjin army let out a desperate howl.
