Section 53 Salvo (II)

When Wu Yuewang's firecracker heard the order, he immediately pulled the trigger, and with a roar, a piece of gunpowder smoke rose in front of him, covering the firecracker's field of vision, so that he could no longer see the face of the enemy who was already close at hand. At about the same time that the soldier pulled the trigger, his companion next to him also heard the order, and the soldier also aimed his musket at the forehead of another Qing soldier without moving...... One by one, after the gunshots rang out, the preoccupied Ming gunners all reflexively began to shoot. Judging from Deng Ming's position, puffs of gunpowder smoke erupted from the muzzles of the guns of the firecrackers standing in the front row almost at the same time, and violently rushed towards the faces of the soldiers on the front line of the Qing army, and in an instant, the front line was covered with smoke, completely separating the two armies.

The sound of the several rows of guns fired by the Ming army just now was far less intense than this one, although it was also a salvo just now, and there were only a hundred firearms, but Deng Ming could hear that it was a series of crackling sounds, but because the interval was too short, it sounded like a continuous sound; There was still a gap between the gunshots this time, but the soldiers of the Ming army who were highly concentrated, and the gunfire of all those who heard Wu Yuewang's shout in Chapter 344 made them feel different from before, and based on the experience of these war horses, they thought that the humans in metal armor would soon roar and fight together-under normal circumstances, when the opposite side rushed up, it would always be the result. Then they will be ready until the humans on their backs shout and kick them in the abdomen, at which point they will rush out with the men and follow their usual training to keep in line with their companions and trample the enemies in front of them into the mud...... In the evening, the drunken host pampers himself with a large ball of fresh straw, most often with carrots and sometimes an apple. The war horses all knew that the owner would smile at that time, and would keep stroking the hair on his neck when he lowered his head to eat.

All war horses know that man, though he is not good-looking, is a fierce animal, and he likes to wield sharp and dangerous metal clubs at each other, and in order to fight this danger, he also draped metal pieces over himself and his horse; When they fight, they fight with the purpose of killing their own kind rather than driving them away, and the blood-soaked territory that they have worked so hard to grab will not go there often to find something to eat, and sometimes even never Chapter 344 The body crashed into an invisible transparent wall, and the sound of impact stopped abruptly. Several of the soldiers in the front row were shot with their feet in the air, and their forward momentum was suddenly blocked by the invisible wall, and the upside-down onion fell backwards, crashing into their comrades behind them, and pushing them backwards as well.

The offensive of the central green battalion was completely stopped by a salvo, and after the musketeers retreated safely, the Chinese army of the Ming army began to attack. The Qing troops in the back row could not see the movement in front clearly, and only knew that they followed the officers and veterans to rush forward, and they were all told that if they didn't want to die here in Sichuan, and they didn't want to never be able to return to their hometowns, then they had to rush forward without hesitation and completely defeat the Ming army in front of them.

Therefore, the Shanxi soldiers could not be tired, and used their last strength to make this decisive charge. Standing in the center just now, they had been under the heavy care of the Ming army's firecrackers, and more than a third of the dozen or so people who fell in each salvo were people belonging to this green battalion.

When the last deafening thunderclap rang out at close range, the soldiers in the back row saw that the eyes were white, and the choking smoke rushed through the gap between the front row of their comrades, and something had crashed into it. They instinctively raised their hands to cover their faces. When the smoke cleared, the soldiers saw that the arms they were holding in front of them were covered with the blood of their comrades in the front row, as well as skull fragments.

Several of the Green Battalion soldiers in the back row suddenly changed their faces, covered their wounds and screamed loudly, when the lead bullet shattered the armor just now, the debris flew backwards, and some of them hit the cheeks of the Green Battalion soldiers in the back row or other unprotected positions.

A soldier who had dragged back a little lowered the arm that was covering his eyes, and he had been following closely behind the general, just now before his eyes, the helmets of the general and one of the soldiers beside him exploded at the same time, and now the arms of this soldier were full of their brains; Another soldier in the front row was shot in the neck, and the lead bullet that broke his cervical vertebrae was deflected by the bones and shot into the hand of the soldier who was dragging behind, knocking his little finger away.

"Hmm......" The Qing soldiers didn't have time to think, because a large group of cold light had flashed in front of them, and hundreds of Ming troops rushed to the Qing army that stood still in place.

Deng Ming saw that the precious hundred firecrackers had finally withdrawn safely to the back of the formation, and couldn't help but exhale softly, and said in his heart: "After the war, we must find Wu Yuewang and scold him." ”

Deng Ming looked at the entire battlefield again. He guessed that these Qing soldiers deployed in the center might be the most effective battalion soldiers, because when the Qing army attacked the whole line, they rushed to the front, and they were the fastest. Now the offensive of the most resolute battalion of Qing troops has been completely suspended by the Ming army, and on their flank, the movements of the other Qing troops are obviously much slower. The soldiers of the Green Battalion on the left flank of the Qing army were exhausted before the start of the battle, because they knew that there was no way to survive if they did not sell their lives, so they were now shouting fiercely at the Ming army with all their strength. Deng Ming is very familiar with this posture, and he has seen it up close when he was in Zhong Xiang. The movement of the right wing of the Qing army was a little slower than that of their left flank, and they kept watching the movements of the main attacking force in the center, and the hesitation in their hearts could be seen.

And behind the flank of the 3,000 soldiers of the Shanxi Green Battalion, there were some soldiers of the Ganshan Green Battalion covering the north. The banners of these Ganshan Green Battalions are somewhat familiar, but they are too far away to be seen clearly -- these Ganshan Green Battalions look like they are only a few hundred people, and it seems that they did not charge with them at all -- when they were mobilized before the war, they were also told by the Han Eight Banners together with the Shanxi Green Battalion that thieves like to drink with the hearts and livers of officers and soldiers -- but these Ganshan Green Battalions did not run up with the friendly troops in Shanxi and fought hard.
