The Baofeng County Order was impatient, but Cao Chengheng, who commanded the soldiers of the White Dragon Army on the city wall, was very calm and had not given the order to open fire so far.

The White Dragon Army is strictly disciplined, although this gang of thieves has already arrived in the city.

But since Cao Chengheng did not pass down the order to attack, no matter how many thieves came, they would not fire a single shot.

This is the concept that all the generals of the White Dragon Army have been constantly instilled since the first day they entered the new barracks.

In the White Dragon Army, the drums are the order to attack, and the drums are endless, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of them, they have to rush up.

Mingjin withdrew his troops, and even if there was a mountain of gold and silver in front of them, they would have to withdraw their troops immediately, and they must not look back.

At this time, on the head of Baofeng City, there were several soldiers who were patrolling back and forth, and there was a word 'Ji' written on the back of their armor, they were not ordinary soldiers.

Rather, it is directly subordinate to the military discipline soldiers under the command of the general, and is specially responsible for correcting military discipline and supervising operations. If they dare to disobey orders on the battlefield, such as abandoning the battle and running away, they will be punished on the spot.

If anyone dares to attack without an order, they will also be written down and punished after the war.

Originally, in the Qi family's army, for deserters or cowards, one ear had to be cut off directly, and those who had their ears cut off were declared to be executed after the war.

Their only way to survive is to be able to kill the enemy on the battlefield and atone for their sins after the battle.

Ye Qiufeng clenched the flint gun in his hand, his nervous heart was beating violently, seeing that the bandits had gathered more and more under the city, but Cao Chengheng had not moved at all.

"Lord Flag General, why don't you start fighting?" A soldier next to him asked in a low voice.

"How do I know, if Team Cao doesn't give an order, then all of them will be honest and stay for Lao Tzu, let his subordinates calm down, and don't shoot first.

Otherwise, if you lose Lao Tzu's face, see how I clean you up when I go back. Ye Qiufeng admonished.

Don't look at the crowds under the city at this time, under the light of the fire, it can be seen that there are indeed a lot of bandits who attacked Baofeng tonight, there are thousands of people.

But Ye Qiufeng really didn't take a fancy to these messy guys, look at their chaotic appearance, chaotic, all like headless flies.

"Compared with these bandits and Tartars, they are simply 108,000 miles behind!" Ye Qiufeng said disdainfully.

Ye Qiufeng was a veteran who participated in the Battle of the White Dragon Army's Northern Expedition last year, and was originally just an ordinary deputy commander.

During the Battle of the Northern Expedition, the White Dragon Sergeants of the team he was in were among the most casualties, and the grassroots officers were basically wiped out.

However, he survived, only suffered minor injuries, and killed five Tartar soldiers, one Tartar white-armored soldier, and was promoted to the post of deputy flag general.

Later in the year, he was promoted to the rank of general, and he commanded more than 100 musketeers.

"Ye Qi, how can these bandits be compared to the Tartars, these guys estimated that they were still farming with hoes in their hands yesterday, and today they will be replaced with knives and guns, a group of untrained peasants, isn't it a rabble!"

After hearing Ye Qiufeng's words, a chief next to him smiled and said.

"You're smart."

At this time, Cao Chengheng finally passed the order, and a short drum sounded, which was to prepare the musketeers to attack.

Ye Qiufeng glanced at the city, then retracted and said to his subordinates: "Okay, now I'll repeat our style of play this time."

We will take turns to shoot the guns, and each tithing is a group of three people, and one person is responsible for cleaning the chamber of the gun, one person is responsible for loading ammunition, and one person is responsible for shooting.

In this way, we can maintain uninterrupted firepower, just like we trained, this style of play, the general seems to have given a name, called 'three-man strike', which is specially suitable for defending the city. ”

With Li Zixiao having a flint gun in his hand, the degree to which the musketeers could shoot was greatly reduced, making it more convenient.

Therefore, before this expedition, Li Zixiao continued to implement the 'three-stage attack' of platoon gun shooting among the musketeers of the White Dragon Army.

He also came up with this new tactic, which was specifically used for the defense of the city, and was named 'three-man strike' by him.

This is to form a battle group of three musketeers, and choose one of them with the best marksmanship to act as the shooter, and the other two as loaders.

In this way, it can not only ensure the degree of shooting, but also improve the shooting accuracy, and ensure the uninterrupted firepower.

In this case, three musketeers are actually equivalent to one ordinary rifleman in later generations.

At the head of Baofeng City at night, Ye Qiufeng held a flint gun and kept an eye on the city tower, where was Cao Chengheng's wartime headquarters and where their flag order was located.

To fight at night, according to the training of the White Dragon Army, it is necessary to pass orders through lights, or signal flares and bugles.

If the distance is not far, they usually use a light signal or a drum or a flar, and if it is a long distance, they use a flare.

Suddenly, three red lanterns rose from the Baofeng Castle Tower, followed by the sound of a trumpet and drum representing the attack.

Ye Qiufeng, who had been waiting for a while, suddenly felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling.

"All fire!"

He roared, and then put the flint gun to his shoulder, facing the dense bandits under the city, and he didn't even need to lock on to the target, because there were targets everywhere, and he directly deducted the trigger.

In an instant, the sound of 'bang, bang, bang' flint gun shooting came and went, and more than a hundred White Dragon Army musketeers shot together.

A popping sound like fried beans sounded over the head of Baofeng City, and then countless white smoke filled the air, and flashes of light flashed on the city.

After shooting a shot, Ye Qiufeng didn't even have time to inspect the results of his gun, the smoke in front of him was too thick, he couldn't wait.

Then he put away the flint that had been shot out of the air, and handed it to one of the men beside him, and from the man next to him, he took the other flint that had been loaded long ago.

By this time, the smoke of the first shot had dispersed, and he aimed at the city again, and the fire shone like in the crowd during the day.

Ye Qiufeng pulled the trigger, shot a buckshot, and then quickly handed the empty gun to the soldier beside him, and then picked up a loaded flint gun from his hand.

After the continuous gunfire rang out, the artillery of each banner of the White Dragon Army in the city also opened fire almost simultaneously.

Although according to the standards of the White Dragon Army, the White Dragon Army of this team in the city carried small-caliber artillery, and there was no powerful thousand-pound Hongyi cannon.

But the artillery of the White Dragon Army is still very sufficient, Cao Chengheng belongs to an infantry team of the 'Iron Blood Battalion', but each flag is also equipped with five tiger squat cannons and three Furlong machines for close combat.

As for those 'pound guns' with a long range, that is, Western cannons, they were all concentrated by Li Zixiao into the artillery team for use, otherwise they would be used separately, and their power would be greatly reduced.

Li Zixiao, who has always longed for a large-scale artillery group in the future and saturated the attack, hopes that one day he can also gather a large-scale heavy artillery group in his hands.

You don't need thousands of guns, you just need to give him a hundred or so eight-pounder cannons, and in this era, it will be a devastating force, a siege weapon.

At this time, Cao Chengheng, the head of Baofeng City, brought fifteen tiger squatting cannons and nine Fulong machines in his hands, plus Baofeng County, there were originally five tiger squatting cannons.

At this time, there were twenty-nine artillery pieces on the head of Baofeng City, firing together, and suddenly it was like a landslide and tsunami, and the earth shook the sky.

At this time, the thousands of bandits who had basically gathered under Baofeng City were immediately attacked by a saturation of flint guns and artillery fire.

The dense bandits didn't expect at all why the little Baofeng City, which should have no power to resist, actually had so much firepower.

rushed to the foot of Baofeng City, and were about to climb the bamboo ladder to kill these bandits in Baofeng City, under the dense firepower, they fell down in pieces, just like cutting leeks.

In front of the north gate of Baofeng, the not too wide place, crowded with thousands of people.

The dense bandits were suddenly bombarded by 29 guns, bombarded by salvos from Tiger Squatting and Furlong machines, and fired by 50 musketeers, the fire was very intensive.

These melee artillery pieces of the White Dragon Army have a characteristic, that is, they can't hit too far, their accuracy is not high, and they rely purely on luck.

Therefore, in the infantry of the White Dragon Army, they will continue to be equipped with these tiger squat cannons, that is, they will give up accuracy and rely entirely on shotguns to attack the enemy.

Abandoning long-range and high-precision strike capabilities in order to obtain close-range and large-area killing capabilities, it can be said that this maximizes the advantage of the Tiger Squat Cannon.

There were at least one or two hundred shotguns of small lead and twenty-nine cannons fired together, and suddenly the area within 100 zhang in front of the north gate of Baofeng was covered by more than 100 lead bullets and tens of thousands of small leads.

There were so many bandits under the city, standing together, people by people, people crowding people, so that the gunners of the White Dragon Army in the city did not need to aim at all.

They only need to angle the artillery, roughly aimed at the city, and then just reload and shoot, and that's it.

The dense lead solves the defect of the lack of accuracy of the tiger squat cannon, and still plays a terrible lethality.

The bandits under the city were not elite, and this time, they were even more devastated, who were originally lacking armor and shields.

A rain of bullets passed, and a large number of the bandits' dense army fell.

However, these guns have a flaw, that is, the reload time is too long, and after one shot, it takes at least two to three minutes to complete the reload.

In such a long gap, the role of the musketeers was revealed, and they never stopped firing from the moment they fired, fifty points of musket fire.

On average, they can shoot every two seconds or so, and they can be faster if they don't need to aim.

A musket firing point composed of three people is exactly the shooting point of a semi-automatic rifle of later generations.

The only thing worse than semi-automatic rifles is that they require the cooperation of three people to complete, lose mobility, and are not flexible enough.

But for these bandits who don't have many bows and arrows, let alone birds, it's really a knife to kill chickens.

Before the bandits could react, the White Dragon Army artillery was reloaded, and a second round of bullets rained down.

Then came the third round.

However, there is no fourth round, and Cao Chengheng at the head of the city stopped in time, and the excited artillerymen who were fighting.

Because, there was no need to waste ammunition anymore, just three rounds of artillery fire, as well as the continuous fire output of the musketeers, made the bandits under the city completely collapse.

At this time, they cried one by one, threw down their knives and guns, and ran back desperately, and many of them were even squeezed directly to the ground, and then crawled all the way.

"Fuck it, it's running too fast."

The generals of the White Dragon Army said speechlessly, we have just warmed up, and we haven't had the strength to do it yet, is this the end?

"Really, Lao Tzu hasn't fought enough, it's not easy to have a chance to shoot in actual combat, and the time is too short." This is the complaint of the musketeers.

"You still say, we moved this big pile of shells for nothing, and we have fired three rounds so far, and it doesn't use much at all, and we have to move it back again, which is really troublesome."

This is the complaint of the artillerymen.

In short, don't look at the bandits under the city, they were beaten away, but the White Dragon Army on the city wall from top to bottom, there were not a few happy, but they all complained.

After a pause, someone asked Cao Chengheng: "Team Cao, are we going out of the city to chase?" ”

"Forget it, although it's cool to beat the water dogs, but after all, there are thousands of bandits outside the city, and we only have four hundred people, plus it's night, just in case.

The general sent us here to guard Baofeng County, this is a task, as for whether this bandit can be exterminated, wait for tomorrow to find an opportunity. ”

"Yes."

Cao Chengheng made a very rational decision and did not order to go out of the city to pursue these fleeing bandits.

On the other side, Ye Qiufeng was holding the musketeer, but he couldn't find the target, and the bandits who had just been crowded with people ran out all at once.

"That's it?"

On the contrary, he had a feeling of emptiness in his heart, and he couldn't believe that since the start of the fight, it was only less than half a pillar of incense, and this battle was over.

In the past, Ye Qiufeng was a sword and shield soldier, rushing to the front line, and it was also the most dangerous.

But every time he rushes to kill, he can feel his blood boiling, and that kind of life-and-death fight is the most exciting.

However, now that Ye Qiufeng has arrived at the musketeers and commanded the battle, he really doesn't feel any taste at all.

"Hey, no, when I go back, I have to apply to my superiors to transfer me back to the infantry army, this battle is too boring."

Ye Qiufeng secretly made up his mind in his heart, although he could also see that for the sake of the musketeers, they would inevitably shine in the White Dragon Army, because this kind of firearm was really sharp to kill the enemy.

However, Ye Qiufeng still didn't want to stay in the musket team.

Ye Qiufeng put down the flint gun in his hand and asked the deputy next to him, "Qingzi, how many shots did we shoot just now?" ”

"It seems like a lot of guns, and I didn't count them." The musketeer next to him scratched his head and said.

"I know that there were eighty-nine shots, and fortunately every one hundred shots, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to count, because I could only count to a hundred."

The young soldier in charge of cleaning the chamber of the gun in the back said with a smile.

This young man looks like he is only seventeen or eighteen, and he is definitely small in the White Dragon Army.

"Okay, little black, it's true that I've studied in the academy for a while, and this is all for you to count, not bad."

The musketeer named Aoko next to him patted the young man on the shoulder and said appreciatively.

"And how many do we kill?" Ye Qiufeng asked again.

"Then I don't know, who cares about this just now!"

Ye Qiufeng also knew this, but he still said with some regret: "This battle is too easy, these bandits are really fucking useless."

I don't believe it, how can it be possible to defeat the army of the imperial court with these bandits? ”

"That's it, I think so too, this can only be said that those officers and soldiers in the imperial court are too wasteful, how can they be compared with our White Dragon Army."

The young man on the side, nicknamed Little Black, straightened his waist and said proudly.
