2 This battle is really aggrieved

(Today's chapter is presented, ask for a wave collection and subscription, if you can have a monthly pass and a reward, I will add more!! ）

"Birdmen, archers fire, artillery teams!" Li Zixiao also reined in the horse's reins on his horse, stopped his march, and then ordered in a deep voice.

The trumpeter immediately blew out a few short trumpets, and the standard-bearer also waved his flag, and the soldiers who were far away could also receive the order from Li Zixiao in time.

The archers on either side of the queue immediately drew their arrows from their quivers behind their backs and put them on the bowstring, ready to fire at any time.

The preliminary preparations of the firecrackers were a little more cumbersome, and they put down the bird's guns in their hands from their shoulders.

He began to light the fire rope with the fire fold he had carried with him, and stuck it on the dragon's head, and the mouth of the gun was flattened, and the lid of the medicine pool was opened, and the butt of the gun was pressed against his shoulder.

Just before the team set off, the musketeers had reloaded the muskets to save time in preparation for the first round of launches.

After receiving the order to attack, the bird gunners don't need to waste time at this time to reload the bird guns.

At this time, in the White Dragon Army, the number of bird gunners has grown to one hundred, and the number of archers is one hundred and fifty, so that the White Dragon Army has good long-range firepower.

Archers have a much faster rate of fire, so it's not the Bird Gunners who attack the enemy first, but the queue of archers on the left side of the phalanx.

Then, the bird gunners on the right side of the accompanying phalanx, along with the officers in the first row, shouted an order, and they also pulled down the dragon head at the same time.

I only heard a crackling sound, and on the right side of the White Dragon Army's formation, a row of flames erupted together, raising a cloud of gunsmoke.

The white dragon gunners were all concentrated on the right side of the phalanx, and one hundred gunners were divided into five columns, each with twenty people.

The first row of musketeers had just finished firing, and no one looked at the opposite side to observe the effect of their shots, so they quickly squeezed sideways to the back row and gave way to the second row of musketeers.

The second row of musketeers immediately raised their birds, aimed at the enemy on the opposite side, pulled off the dragon head stuck in the fire rope, and a crisp burst of gunfire rang out again.

In this way, these birdmen will be able to keep their firepower continuously out.

At this time, the bird guns used by the White Dragon Army Bird Guns were all improved bird guns, although they had not changed much in essence.

However, just the modified body of the spear made the White Dragon Army's bird guns very fond of it, and this was also the first time that this improved bird gun was put into battle.

The improved body of the gun is more suitable for the shooting of the bird guns, and the shooting accuracy is improved, so they quickly adapt to the operation of this new type of bird guns.

Even more on the fixed gunpowder that Li Zixiao came up with, the paper shell bullet was also issued to the bird's hand, and Li Zixiao knew that this was also the earliest bullet in history.

Li Zixiao issued a leather box with a lid to each firecracker, which could hold thirty paper shell bullets.

Although there are not many of them, for these firecrackers, it is enough for them to consume in one battle.

In addition, the accompanying soldiers in the army will also be responsible for providing spare ammunition for the musketeers between battles, so the musketeers will not run out of ammunition.

The firecrackers had already discovered that the new paper shell bullets provided to them were easier to load than the previous bamboo cartridges.

All they had to do was bite off one end of the cartridge, pour the gunpowder into the chamber, and then put the remaining pellet into the chamber and ram it with a cane.

Then use the primer pot to pour the ignition powder into the medicine pool, cover the medicine pool, light the fire rope, and you are ready to launch, the efficiency is much higher than the conventional loading, the speed is much higher.

Li Zixiao once personally operated the test and came to a conclusion.

It is a skilled firecracker, and after using paper shell bullets, the reloading speed can be completely achieved, the speed of two to three rounds a minute.

Even an ordinary firecracker, after a period of training, can completely do two shots a minute.

So he lined up the musketeers in five columns and fired in a manner similar to a three-stage shot.

Basically, in offensive operations, the continuity of firepower can be achieved, and within a minute, five rows of musketeers can complete a round of aiming and firing, and prepare for the next round of launches.

And today, the first thing he faced was this group of officers and army pioneers, and this officer and army vanguard Li Zixiao had already received information and knew that it was a very elite veteran officer army.

Their equipment level is also very good, basically the proportion of armored soldiers is three, but most of those are Qi Lin's family members or low-level officers, or some veterans who have been in the past for a long time.

As for the other officers and soldiers, most of them are still wearing shabby mandarin duck battle jackets, and they are not better than other officers and soldiers.

At this time, most of the officers and soldiers at the forefront were ordinary officers and soldiers, and as for those armored soldiers, Qi Lin would not let them charge casually. /

The truth of 'good steel is used on the blade' is also understood.

Facing the bird gun that the White Dragon Army was equipped with at this time, sixty steps could already constitute a great damage to those officers and soldiers who were not wearing armor.

As for those officers and soldiers in armor, it is estimated that it will be difficult to kill the other party at this distance, after all, the power of this old-style bird gun at this time is just like that.

The power is definitely not satisfactory to Li Zixiao, but before he has the ability to make a new type of bird gun, Li Zixiao can only continue to make do with these old bird guns.

At the same time, at a distance of sixty paces, the power of the enemy's old Tiger Squat Cannons will also be limited, and it will be even more difficult for the scattered bullets to hit them.

After all, they are lined up in a dense formation, and if you let the enemy tiger squat at the scattered shells of the cannon, give them a few shots nearby.

Even the front-row generals of the White Dragon Army, all wearing armor, may not be able to withstand such a bombardment.

That's why Li Zixiao chose to stop at a distance of sixty steps from the official army and attack.

When the first row of birds fired, Li Zixiao immediately fixed his eyes and looked at the officers and soldiers opposite, wanting to see how effective the attack was.

I saw that after a row of gunshots rang out, seven or eight people were put down on the opposite side, twenty bird-gun projectiles, and a salvo of sixty paces knocked over seven or eight people.

This kind of hit rate is already quite impressive, and Li Zixiao is relieved.

And at this time, the attack on the archer's side is not weaker than these bird guns, and the archer's attack speed is faster.

It can be said that in a short period of time, the role of those archers in the White Dragon Army is still greater than that of the bird guns.

However, Li Zixiao knew that these musketeers would be the biggest killers on the battlefield in the future, so of course he had to train and use this aspect in advance at this time.

He believed that after a while, let his blacksmiths develop a new type of musket, and even if he could make a flintlock pistol, his musket team would become a nightmare for the enemy on the battlefield.

At this time, Sun Dazhuang also led the gunners of the artillery battalion and rushed out quickly from the right side of the phalanx.

At the same time, three gun carriages equipped with bronze Fran cannons were introduced, and five tiger squat cannon cloths were also carried out, which were located on the right flank of the phalanx.

Moreover, when the musketeers fired, they also quickly adjusted the muzzles of their guns and aimed them at the enemy on the opposite side.

Before the Tiger Squat Cannon is fired, it only needs to aim its muzzle at the enemy's position, and there is no need to carefully aim at anything, as long as it is reloaded, it can be fired immediately.

And before the departure of these five tiger squat cannons, they had been ordered by Sun Dazhuang to complete the loading, so as soon as they were carried out and laid out, Sun Dazhuang directly ordered the gunners to ignite the artillery.

In the dense sound of birds, there was immediately a series of roars of tiger squatting cannons.

Immediately afterwards, there was the roar of the three Furlong machine guns, and suddenly the sound of guns and cannons enveloped the entire battlefield, and bursts of gunpowder smoke rose from the battlefield.

One after another, the shells flew out of the barrels, and the tiger squat cannons won with scattered bullets, and the projectiles of various shapes, like hailstones, smashed into the array of officers and soldiers on the opposite side.

"Archers release arrows, firearms team, fire!" 、

In the front row of the officers and soldiers on the opposite side, there was also an officer who yelled hysterically, asking the archers in the officers and soldiers to release their arrows, and they were also equipped with a lot of three-eyed guns.

It was very difficult for the primitive smoothbore guns of this period to hit a target the size of a human at a distance of dozens of paces.

It is possible to shoot well only by relying on concentrated fire.

This is also the reason why Li Zixiao requires his subordinates to shoot a salvo.

Even so, the White Dragon Army's twenty bird-gunners only hit seven or eight people in a volley, and the accuracy was still unsatisfactory.

With the rows of bows and arrows and bird salvos on the side of the White Dragon Army, and various shells from the splitting surface, the officers and soldiers in front of the array soon suffered a lot of casualties.

But immediately, the archers and musketeers on the side of the officers and soldiers also returned fire, and shot down more than a dozen soldiers of the White Dragon Army.

But the price they paid was far more tragic than that of the White Dragon Army.

The White Dragon Army kept firing a volley of guns in turns, causing great casualties to the officers and soldiers on the opposite side.

Not only the archers and musketeers were suppressed, but more seriously from the artillery side.

The two rounds of eight artillery pieces on the side of the White Dragon Army killed the only three old tiger squat cannons of the official army, and now the officers and soldiers could only become targets bombarded by artillery.

In a short period of time, nearly 100 officers and soldiers fell in a pool of blood, and the White Dragon Army only paid the price of more than 20 casualties.

At this time, the arrows and projectiles used by the archers and bird gunners of the White Dragon Army were all new-style arrows and projectiles.

Ever since Tie Pingliang, a blacksmith, came to White Snake Village, he was able to create a three-edged arrow with a high degree of difficulty, which was more damaging to the enemy.

And the bird gun is also equipped with a new type of lead bullet, this kind of soft lead bullet, hit the human body not to see the penetration is not very good, but the lethality is very large.

When a buckshot hits a human body, it can even break.

Once this kind of lead bullet hits the human body, although it will only leave a small bullet hole in the human body, the lead bullet will almost break the internal organs of the human body.

Even if it is only shot in the arm or leg, it may be removed on the spot, and one arm or lower leg of the injured person may be removed.

Speaking of which, the damage of these lead bullets to the enemy is far greater than that of bows and arrows, and almost as long as the officers and soldiers are hit by lead bullets, they will either die or be disabled.

Even if he does not die in a catastrophe, he will basically be left with a lifelong disability, and there is no chance of returning to the team from injury.

As each row of bird guns of the White Dragon Army was cast, a blood mist would rise in the array of the opposing official army.

Immediately, a group of officers and soldiers will fall, causing a scream and exclamation, and the miserable screams of those who have been shot will make the surrounding comrades even more afraid.

Those who were lucky not to be shot were also so frightened that they hurriedly squeezed to the back, for fear that the next row of guns would be their turn to be unlucky.

Such a mess made it even more difficult for the musketeers and archers on their side to shoot calmly, and the disadvantage was further expanded.

At this time, even these veterans of the official army were all afraid at this time, after all, no one was afraid of death.

Even, at this time, the officers and soldiers in the front row had already begun to show signs of collapse.

Li Zixiao saw that these officers and soldiers were not defeated at such a disadvantage, and he couldn't help but look at this officer and soldier a few times.

If it had been an ordinary officer or bandit, he would have been defeated long ago when he had suffered such casualties while the enemy's casualties were not large.

At this time, Qi Lin saw that the battle was going on like this, and he immediately became anxious.

He didn't expect that the White Dragon Army would be equipped with so many artillery, bird guns and archers, and would use such tactics against them.

If this continues, if the White Dragon Army is allowed to carry out a few more rounds, salvos of bows and arrows, muskets and artillery, his men will definitely not be able to withstand it at that time, and a rout will be inevitable.

It's no wonder that Qi Lin, even if he has been through a hundred battles, he has never encountered the White Dragon Army, such an alternative chaotic army!

When had he ever seen a chaotic army armed with so many bows and arrows, birds, and artillery!

The White Dragon Army's fighting method made it completely impossible for him to use the tactics he used to exterminate those bandits and rebels.

"TD, it's the first time I've seen Lao Tzu, a chaotic army with better equipment than Lao Tzu's official army, this battle is really aggrieved."

Qi Lin looked at the officers and soldiers in the front, who had suffered nearly 100 casualties in a short period of time, and his eyes were red.

But knowing that the battle situation was not in their favor at this time, he could not escape.

If he turned around and fled at this time, the fate of him and his officers and soldiers would only be worse.

At the same time, he could no longer sit back and watch the White Dragon Army on the other side, attacking them so recklessly.

Since long-range attacks are not possible, they can only use the style of play they are best at, rushing up to get close to the enemy, engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, and destroying the enemy with their exquisite martial arts.

Therefore, he gritted his teeth, immediately pulled out his waist knife, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, rush up for me, although the guns of the rebel army are powerful, as long as you rush to them, you will not be afraid of them, kill me!" ”

After saying that, at his signal, a team of family members under his command, just under the lead of a family general, rushed out of the array and rushed towards the phalanx of the White Dragon Army.

These Qi Lin's private generals and family members, the armor they wear and the weapons they hold in their hands are the best, and at the same time, they are also the most powerful.

These people also represent Qi Lin's will, and at this time, many officers and soldiers saw that Qi Lin was dispatched, and a team of his subordinates rushed up.

Then the other officers and soldiers were also encouraged, and they didn't dare to retreat without authorization, and they gritted their teeth and followed behind, yelling, and rushed towards the White Dragon Army.

The rest of Qi Lin's family members were in the back, staring at the officers and soldiers in front of them one by one, these people were used by Qi Lin as a supervising team.

These overseers were used by Qi Lin to prevent those soldiers from fleeing without permission when the tide of battle was against them.

To deal with the soldiers who fled from these cottages, without exception, they were all killed on the spot by the warlords.

Therefore, this kind of officers and soldiers did not have a rout, not only because of their elite, but also because of the merits of those overseers behind them.
