Under the commander's strong order, Shu Da had no choice but to lead his infantry battalion to follow the cheering soldiers in front of him to continue to move forward, as he entered the woods, the light in front of him couldn't help but dim, and the scene that was originally not visible outside could now be seen clearly. The woods were full of waist-deep bushes, some of which had barbs, causing a lot of trouble to the soldiers in front of them, some of them were scratched on their clothes, some were even directly entangled in the bushes and could not move, so they could only wait for others to come to the rescue, and even more were directly hooked on the trigger of the new musket, and there was a "click" firing sound in the woods, but fortunately, they had already fired the bullets when they were advancing and the muzzle of the gun was also blocked with bayonets, so there was no accidental injury.

Ruan Mingfang was already scolding his mother for the hundredth time, and he personally led his infantry battalion to chase at the front, but even if he had run to the fastest speed, they were still panting and eating dirt behind the cavalry's butts. However, the current appearance of the dragoon soldiers is not much better, many of the clothes on the body have been directly torn, for safety, everyone is hooked to attach to the horse, so as not to be hung on the ground by the branches, some people were hooked by the branches when they moved away weapons, had to turn the horse's head back to pick up. Even though the pursuit was slowed down by the many troubles, horses were horses after all, and the dragoons were still far faster than the soldiers who were struggling to run.

Ruan Mingfang was about to scold his mother again, but his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was shocked to find that the front was already on the edge of this forest. Many dragoons had already regrouped in the open space in front of them, and some fast runners were half-crouching and panting at the edge of the clearing. Ruan Mingfang added a lot of strength and ran out of the woods quickly, feeling that his eyes were also black, and he was panting as if his lungs were about to burn. He crouched down and gasped for breath, while looking around at the clearing in front of him with somewhat darkened eyes. The clearing was a gentle slope, about half a mile long, and there were about two or three hundred soldiers of the Northern Army squatting there at the top of the slope, looking like they were also panting. A handsome flag of the Northern Army poked diagonally on the ground, and the soldiers holding the flag also squatted on the ground panting, and the handsome flag waved in the breeze.

The enemy is not far away, and Sun hates the war and makes early love sails

"Damn it! Their banner hasn't fallen yet! Ruan Mingfang sat on the ground with some annoyance, "It would be nice if there was a cannon, they would definitely lose the handsome flag when the cannon went up." ”

"yes!" The adjutant general next to him also gasped and said, "But the artillery battalion is walking too slowly, and they are all left behind." If you wait to go with the artillery battalion, it will be at least two days slower. ”

"You know it all!" Ruan Mingfang scolded a little angrily, "That's the wise command of the marshal, if we follow the artillery battalion, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with these northerners, and we can catch up with them by moving lightly!" He took another deep breath, stood up and kicked the general in the ass and said, "Alright! It's time to catch your breath! Go to the whole team! It's going to rush up! ”

Most of the soldiers of the Southern Army had now rushed out of the woods and began to line up amid the shouts of the officers with panting, and many of the soldiers, due to their lack of physical strength during the run, some were half-squatting on the ground, some were sitting, and there were not many standing, "Take off the bayonet!" The commander shouted the order loudly, and the soldiers could not help but lament that it was not easy to pull the tightly stuffed bayonet out of the barrel.

Sun Yuan's hatred is lonely and hateful

One by one, they crouched down and began to take out the bayonets from the barrels, some grabbed the blades and pulled them out, others used daggers to provoke the hilt of the guns, some got it quickly, others were stuffed so tightly that they could not be pulled out at all.

"Reload!" Before the soldiers could finish it, the commander gave another order, and everyone except for the soldiers who were still trying their best to draw their bayonets had already begun to stuff paper cartridges into the barrels. As most of the soldiers stuffed their bullets tightly with the strip, the commander pulled out his command knife with some arrogance and shouted to the top of the slope, "Walk together!" ”

The soldiers of the infantry battalion began to stand still, although their queue training was not very good, but under the steps of hundreds of people, the ground also trembled slightly, "Forward!" ”

Several infantry battalion arrays began to slowly advance forward, and the officers, with command knives in their hands, ran around the ranks, shouting at the soldiers who were walking too fast or too slow, and made them form as they marched. The commander looked at the large array with satisfaction, and said to the staff officers around him, "Look! With the training of our Maidno people, even the Annan people can get out of such a queue! If we can achieve the same combat effectiveness as the dragoons, we will be able to recover North Annan with such an army. ”

"Yes! North Annam! "Actually, it's almost as good as we occupy Nan Annan now, right?" "Pull it down, our physique is very unsuitable for this kind of seaside area, as long as we land on the shore, it is easy to break out infectious diseases." "We're still living at sea! What's so scary about going ashore? If there are many infectious diseases, you will not be afraid of them. ”

"Quiet!" The commander shouted impatiently, "It's still a war!" Show me all of them, learn how to command and fight, we won't have only such an Annan infantry battalion regiment in the future, you will have to command a new regiment sooner or later, all learn! As he spoke, the commander led the group of staff officers who looked at each other and walked slowly forward with the infantry battalion.

"These guys just like to talk about pomp!" Russell sneered impatiently, "It's okay to walk over like this, what about our flag?" There are not even flags, so don't the soldiers find a command? If you encounter a counterattack, it is easy to make a mess! ”

"It's okay, General," the attendant next to him hurriedly laughed, "We are facing the Annamite people, they don't know how to fight, and they are only beaten all the way under our rapid attack." ”

"Don't underestimate your enemies, who knows what they will do you can't imagine." Russell said and patted his horse's buttocks lightly, then waved his hand at the dragoons behind him who were already in formation, and ordered loudly, "Let's move forward too!" ”

"Instructor, they're up!" Ma Xiang was sitting on the ground looking at the information that had just been sent, but he heard someone shouting loudly and running over, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Zhao Siwen and several field agents of the Army Intelligence Bureau, who were all wearing the clothes of the Northern Army at the moment, and they were also holding ordinary weapons in their hands, their faces were a little panicked, and they were obviously uneasy.

"Don't be afraid, have faith in yourself!" As soon as Ma Xiang finished speaking, he heard Zhao Siwen say eagerly, "But now the distance between the two sides is too close, and they are about to enter the 200-meter line." ”

"Yes, instructor, our recruits haven't mastered the loading and shooting essentials of the Senate rifle, what if they can't exert enough power in a fight?" "Yes, their muskets can shoot at a distance of more than two hundred meters, and our recruits will definitely suffer when the two sides shoot at each other." Several agents next to him were also obviously uneasy.

"Hehe, it's okay." Ma Xiang got up from the ground and patted his buttocks, "Let's go, come with me to the front line and have a look." With that, he walked in the direction of the top of the slope.

"Fire!" The soldiers of the infantry battalion were obviously confident in how far their weapons could hit, and as they entered the two hundred meters, the soldiers in the first row opened fire on the orders of the officers, and as another burst of gunpowder smoke rose, a dense rain of bullets flew towards the top of the slope. However, something happened that made them fall through the glasses, and their bullets did not hit the Northern army at the top of the slope, but fell on the slope in front of them with a crackle.

Settle the ground and hate the ball, and the ball is too lonely

"Second row! Advance! Fire! The officers didn't figure out what was going on, but continued to order their men to go forward and open fire again. This time the shooting effect was not better than the first time, except for a few rounds that hit the top of the slope, the others still landed on the gentle slope.

"These stupid guys," Ma Xiang half-knelt and raised his binoculars to observe the situation in the distance, and explained to the field agents around him, "This is because their position is in a state of upward attack, and the bullets will fall downward under the influence of the earth's gravity, and our bullets we have seen, probably to prevent the barrel from being blown up due to poor barrel technology, and there are not many propellants filled inside, if it is only fighting on flat ground, it is okay, and the bullets can only hit about 150 meters in this state of upward attack." As he spoke, he pointed to the enemy in the distance, "They will have to advance at least a hundred meters before they can pose an effective threat to us." ”

"Herald!" Ma Xiang said and ordered loudly, and the young generals who formed the backbone of the Northern Army next to him stood up one by one, "We have to wait for them to enter a hundred meters to shoot before we can 'collapse', before that, no matter how big the casualties are, we must withstand them!" Let the archers come forward! ”

The archers walked forward under the command of the officer, but they did not advance to the top of the slope, but stopped more than 20 meters near the top of the slope on the anti-slope, began to adjust their bows, and then bent their bows and arrows one by one. "Shoot the arrows!" Following the officer's order, a rain of arrows swept across the top of the slope and fell down the gentle slope.

"Arrows!" Seeing a rain of arrows coming, the soldiers of the infantry battalion panicked almost immediately, many people dodged left and right, and collided with each other, although the gentle slope at the moment was not steep, but the people who collided with each other still rolled down a lot, causing even more chaos.

"Fire!" One by one, the officers were annoyed, and the soldiers scrambled to get up from the ground, carrying muskets and firing again at the top of the hill.

"I can't hit this position!" Seeing this confusion, Commander Medeno could not help but become angry, and ordered in a loud voice, "Continue fifty steps forward!" The soldiers of the infantry battalion once again continued to march under the leadership of the officers, but the rain of arrows falling from the top of the slope did not weaken in the slightest, but seemed to have become more dense.

Ruan Mingfang couldn't help but scold angrily, and rushed forward with the soldiers to meet the rain of arrows, they hadn't been hit by arrows before, but it seemed that they were far less dense than now, and the power of the arrows seemed to have increased. With a "whoosh", Ruan Mingfang was hit by an arrow in his left shoulder, he screamed, and two pro-soldiers stepped forward and raised their shields to help him cover it. He gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow, only to find that it was not the same as the one that had fallen on the ground in front of the woods, but an arrow with clusters and tail feathers, and a straight shaft, which seemed to have been made of pine. A soldier next to him fell to the ground with a scream, he looked over, it turned out that he had been hit by an arrow in the chest, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed the shaft of the arrow and pulled it out, and after a closer look, it turned out that the workmanship of the two arrows was exactly the same.

"This shouldn't have been made by the Chinese, right?" He thought to himself, but now he couldn't help retreating, and the battalions behind him were moving forward against them, and if his battalion stopped, it would stop the troops behind them, causing even more chaos. "Onward! Advance! ”

The infantry battalion advanced to one hundred and fifty meters, and fired another salvo towards the top of the slope, this time the salvo effect was much better, many soldiers of the Northern Army at the top of the slope were shot and fell to the ground, but they did not flinch, but continued to stand in place, holding a shield in their hands, and the figure shuttled around them, Ruan Mingfang could not see what they were doing, but it seemed that they were carrying away the wounded and corpses.

After the distant hatred of the land, the hatred of the moon and the enemy ghost

A more violent rain of arrows flew over, unlike them fighting with their heads up, the rain of arrows on the top of the mountain was more relaxed under the action of gravity, and directly shot the soldiers of the infantry battalion standing in the front to cry wolf, although the casualty rate was not high, but it affected morale very much. The commander stood beside several soldiers with shields, shielding himself from the rain of arrows, which had already been pierced with several arrows, and he glanced at the dragoons with some annoyance.

Russell's dragoons didn't seem to have any intention of attacking, they just slowly drove their horses behind the large formation. In fact, it was not that Russell did not intend to charge, but that the unnecessary charge before had wasted a lot of physical strength on the horse, and now he had to wait for the horse to regain some strength before he could attack again, so he did not plan to let his cavalry charge at all. Commander Medeno sighed and pointed ahead, "Fifty more steps!" ”

The back of the land is far away from the complex ball by the cold lonely main secret

The soldiers of the infantry battalion hurriedly advanced another fifty meters or so to the front, raised their muskets at the order of the officer, and fired another volley. As the distance approached again, the power and accuracy of the muskets increased a lot, and the soldiers of the Northern Army at the top of the slope fell a lot, this time they obviously couldn't bear it, some dropped their weapons and ran back, and more people retreated in groups of three or five with shields. There was also a lot less rain of arrows that had been shooting non-stop, and it seemed that the archers behind the top of the slope had begun to retreat.

"That's it! Get ready to charge! Russell patted his helmet and gave an order to the soldiers around him, and the adjutant next to him hurriedly said, "General, we haven't received the order to attack yet." ”

The enemy is far behind the ghost ball and catches the lonely ship

The enemy was far behind the ball and the lonely infantry battalion advanced to one hundred and fifty meters, and fired another salvo towards the top of the slope, this time the salvo effect was much better, many soldiers of the Northern Army on the top of the slope were shot and fell to the ground, but they did not retreat, but continued to stand in place, holding a shield in their hands, and the figure shuttled around them, Ruan Mingfang couldn't see what they were doing, but it seemed that they were carrying away the wounded and corpses.

"Charge!" Russell didn't pay attention to him, but drew his command knife and pointed forward, "Follow me!" While shouting loudly, he took the lead and drove his horse forward.
