Chapter 442: Armor Breaking

Under the continuous firing of the flintlock musketeers of the Chinese Army, the Houjin army continued to fall to the ground, and then disappeared behind the enemy ranks.

At the same time, the armor-piercing heavy arrows in the hands of the remaining members of the Later Jin Army's scattered soldiers also began to attack the musketeers in the infantry array of the Huaxia Army.

Although the high-strength bulletproof steel plates are able to withstand most heavy arrow attacks, the area of proximity protection is limited, and many fighters are shot in unprotected areas.

There are also some who are more unlucky, who were shot by the Houjin Army from a special angle to the weak point of the bulletproof steel plate and were shot in the body.

The armor-piercing heavy arrows used by the Houjin Army, the weight of the arrow plus the shaft of the arrow is at least 45g or more, plus the strength when it is fired by the strong bow, the power is definitely not light.

The soldiers who were hit, no matter how light or serious their injuries were, would invariably be knocked to the ground by the force of the violence.

At this moment, the infantry array of the Huaxia Army stayed in place, constantly carrying out the work of rotating shots.

Except for the special service platoon of the cavalry battalion, which had to defend against the enemy's attack on its own cavalry platoon and could not fight, the members of the other three special service platoons all came out one after another and advanced towards the enemy.

Their job was to drive away the stragglers of the Houjin army, and to delay the advance of the Jin army as much as possible, so as to buy more time for the firepower projection of the large forces in the rear.

However, because the number of soldiers in the three special service platoons was too scarce and the front line was thin, the brigade headquarters added several infantry platoons to the middle of the special service platoon as support.

An infantry soldier of the Chinese Army named Wang Er, who was advancing with the special agent platoon, was almost blank in his mind at the moment.

About 30 meters in front of him, there was a soldier of the Houjin Army who was shooting with a bow and arrow in his hand while retreating.

The soldier of the Houjin Army dodged many musket volleys of the rear infantry arrays along the way, but he didn't die, and kept firing arrows in the direction where Wang Er and their team were.

The pump-action rifle barrel in the special agent platoon can hold a full 7 rounds, while the rifles in the hands of Wang Er and his infantry can only be loaded once and fired once.

If they were to shoot and advance like the soldiers of the special service platoon, the formation of their joint formation would be scattered due to the uneven speed.

Several infantry platoons that followed the spy platoon just loaded their rifles with bayonets and then advanced all the way.

And Wang Er himself was in the back row of the queue, and he couldn't open fire if he wanted to, and he could only step forward on the way to the collective march, and he couldn't leave the team to pursue the Houjin soldier.

In this kind of situation where he can only be beaten and can't fight back, his mood is really uncomfortable, and he feels very bad.

At this time, the Houjin Tartar shot another heavy arrow, and after the feather arrow was shot, it seemed to be slow, but in fact it was extremely fast.

There was no room for anyone to have a moment to react, and Guan Wang Er watched as the feather arrow crossed a parabola and hit his chest.

"When ······" After a muffled sound, the powerful force of the heavy arrow made Wang Er's figure suddenly stunted, and he felt a pain in his chest.

However, the queue was still moving forward, and there was no time for him to come to his senses, and the teammates who were marching behind Wang Er subconsciously pushed Wang Er to continue walking forward.

Wang Er, under the impetus of his comrades-in-arms behind him, walked subconsciously under his feet, while his upper body was panting again and again.

After walking a few steps, when Wang Er finally came to his senses, he had the strength to lower his head to look at his chest.

The moment he lowered his head, he saw only a birch arrow shaft stuck in his chest, and the arrow of the heavy arrow had penetrated deeply into the outer layer of fabric of the combat vest and inserted it into the bulletproof steel plate.

Moreover, the shaft of the arrow swayed up and down with the movements of his own walking.

Reaching out and touching the vest on his chest, he couldn't open a little bit of the torn position of the vest, and he saw a thick arrowhead, and a large section was left on the outside of the bulletproof steel plate.

He quickly freed his left hand, which was not holding a gun, and pulled the arrow off with a single effort, and he felt a unique cold sensation of iron cutting through the skin of his chest.

There is no feeling of liquid oozing, which means that the bulletproof steel plate has not been penetrated, and the raised piece of steel that touches the skin on the chest should be the point where the bulletproof steel plate was dented by the arrow.

Just as he was thinking about these things, whether he needed to take off his vest to confirm, one of his comrades on his left suddenly let out a scream.

The moment Wang Er turned around, he saw a heavy arrow stuck in the face of his comrade-in-arms, and then he suddenly raised his head and fell to the ground.

The comrades in the back row quickly crossed over the comrades who were likely to have died and stepped forward to fill the vacant positions on the battle line.

At this moment, in Wang Er's heart, the fear of participating in the battle at the beginning was gone, and a nameless fire surged up in his heart.

Because he found out that the person who was shot happened to be one of his fellow villagers, and the two of them joined the army together, because Wang Er was naturally a little cowardly, so his fellow villager has been responsible for taking care of him.

The relationship between the two is very deep, but now, his good brother and comrade-in-arms were shot by the enemy in front of him, how could he not be angry.

Wang Er's eyes seemed to be about to breathe fire, and he stepped on the drum beat of the army and continued to walk forward.

The soldiers of the infantry platoon, together with the comrades of the special service platoon, continued to compress the front of the stragglers of the Houjin Army.

At the same time, above the infantry array of the Houjin Army, the spear array was also getting closer and closer to this small group of Chinese infantry.

Under the continuous shooting of the Chinese infantry, the front row position of the Houjin army, as well as the two wing positions, was already a heavy loss at this moment.

They had already lost more than 500 men under the repeated blows of the Chinese army's infantry guns and flintlock rifles.

Especially the positions mentioned before, because they threatened the safety of the Huaxia Army's cavalry array. Therefore, the command believed that the infantry must give priority to reducing the threat of the Houjin army to their own cavalry in those positions.

After taking turns to attack those positions, the queue in those places of Houjin was completely penetrated by powerful firepower.

Moreover, as soon as a batch was replenished, it was immediately wiped out by the next round of rifle salvos, which was simply extremely murderous.

Of course, in such a long period of shooting, it has been said many times that the heavy arrows fired by the stragglers of the Houjin Army also pose a great threat to the soldiers of the Huaxia Army.
