The real threat of muskets is within fifty paces, which is also the original intention of Chang Wei's training of queue shooting tactics. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Fifty paces away, unless it is a combination of a musket with an excellent rifle and a natural sharpshooter like Yin An, it is difficult for ordinary people to accurately hit the target. Therefore, the queue shooting tactics of close-range and concentrated fire shooting are so powerful.

One hundred and twenty paces away, the musket could barely reach it, but its accuracy was almost zero. The dense gunfire had no practical effect other than psychologically stressing the scouts.

Taking advantage of the interval between the officers and soldiers after one round of shooting, Chang Wei and Tang Jinyi quickly shot three rounds of arrows, and under the magic arrows of the two, eighteen enemies fell to the ground and died instantly.

"What a evil sect, how can the thief army have such a powerful archer?"

"It's not going to go on like this, just withdraw the bird's hand. ”

"Gunner, speed up!"

Having lost dozens of his men without even seeing the shadow of the thief army, Captain Li and the other three commanders finally had a clear understanding of the strength of Chang Wei's group, and after a few words of discussion, they withdrew all the bird gunners, and instead pinned their hopes of destroying the enemy on the gunners.

Chang Wei immediately ordered his subordinates, "You guys retreat to the third position and wait for us!"

The two dozen scouts were horrified when they first received the order, but now they have shot dozens of enemies themselves without losing a single one, and their fighting spirit has become high. The group of officers and soldiers in front of Du Jue is the 'real officer army', and they can be easily dealt with.

And Chang Wei's volunteer battalion must not be classified as an officer army, because it is an army that has always been feared.

"My lord, we are willing to stay and fight side by side!"

"That's right, if you can fight two brave adults, even if you die in battle, it's worth it!"

"Bah! nonsense, fighting with the two adults, the dead are all officers and soldiers, and we won't lose a single hair. ”

"Hehe, I mean I'm willing to stay and fight with the two adults. ”

Chang Wei waved his hand to stop them, "Needless to say, I understand your feelings." However, the two of us are about to retreat, you go first, hurry, the enemy is about to open fire. ”

"Yes, take care, two adults!" the two dozen scouts slipped quietly behind the woods and turned into the valley passage to the north.

Chang Wei and the two of them quickly launched the light exercises, ran up the left and right ridges respectively against the woods, and soon narrowed the distance to within a hundred steps, and the two of them almost simultaneously inserted a pot of arrows into the mud ground in front of them, put the arrow in their left hand and pulled the bowstring with their right hand, as if they were not aiming, and the arrows roared away.

The three torch-lit enemies were still stunned when they fell, for they had never seen such a swift arrow, but in the blink of an eye the second and third rounds of arrows had knocked them to the ground, and the ridges on both sides were plunged into darkness.

Lieutenant Li jumped like thunder, "Damn throw torches up, archers, musketeers, don't have to aim, shoot me, you can shoot these two bastards by shooting indiscriminately!"

Two people dragged an army of 3,000 people here, and dozens of people were shot and killed one after another, and whoever was going to be furious.

What made Lieutenant Li even more angry was that as soon as the two moved, the gunners' half-day preparation became useless, because the distance of 100 paces was too close for the artillery to hit at all, and most of the artillery at this distance could not hit the enemy and would only kill their own people.

Dozens of torches were thrown onto the sparsely wooded ridge, followed by a rain of arrows mixed with bullets flying all over the sky, although most of them did not shoot on the ground, but there were still twenty feathered arrows that arced and shot at the trees beside Chang Wei, making a crackling sound that was quite spectacular.

In this case, the two of them could only lie on the ground and did not dare to shoot arrows with bows, and the feather arrows with insufficient accuracy were not afraid, but if they were hit by bullets, it would basically be over.

As the two men were pinned, hundreds of swordsmen struggled to climb up the valley, and a large group of musketeers and spearmen rushed forward in an attempt to intercept the retreat from the woods, and encircled them to death on the ridge.

In this case, Chang Wei knew that it was time to retreat, and with a whistle, he galloped up, the wind-chasing leg method was unfolded, and his footsteps moved forward in a zigzag shape, and all the feather arrows and bullets were all hit far away from his body.

But the knifemen who had worked so hard to climb up saw a dark night.

Amid the chase and curses of the officers and soldiers, the two of them made their way through the woods without danger and disappeared into the valley passage in the north.

Two quarters of an hour later, in front of an abandoned village, the anxiously waiting scouts were pleasantly surprised.

"Are you alright, sir?"

Chang Wei shook his head with a smile and said, "How is the army?"

"We're almost out of the valley, and we'll be given fireworks flags when the time comes. Cheng Laohu's people said that they would set up an ambush at the mouth of the valley, and if the officers and soldiers dared to chase after them, they would definitely be surrounded by us. ”

In this valley trail, the advantage of the large number of White Lotus soldiers cannot be brought into play, and the artillery of the official army will cause serious damage to the dense crowd, but once they go out of the mountain and reach the plain, these 30,000 elites of the White Lotus Army will eat these 3,000 ordinary officers and soldiers to death.

"I hope you don't catch up. ”

Chang Wei looked at the valley to the south and said, "This is our last position, we can retreat after only a short delay." Remember, don't fight hard with the officers and soldiers, run if you can, hide if you can, in short, saving your life and going back alive is the first priority!"

"Yes!"

The scouts gave a military salute gratefully, they had been following the White Lotus Sect for half a year, and all they had heard were nonsense such as 'lifeless mother, vacuum hometown' and 'dying in battle is an early ascent to Elysium'. No one ever told them that they should cherish their lives in the war and return alive.

Although they don't understand the words that a person dies for a confidant, at this moment, they feel that even death is worth it.

"What a miserable village, it is always the people who are unlucky in a war!"

Looking at the messy village, Chang Wei was full of emotion, as if he had forgotten that he was also a participant in the war, perhaps he had never killed the people with the confidence of what he said.

This small, nameless village in the valley is less than fifty households, and the village suffered a series of disasters when the White Lotus Sect and the official army were fighting. The artillery fire destroyed most of the houses and courtyards in the village, and almost every house was full of corpses, including officials and soldiers, White Lotus Sect, and villagers.

After waiting quietly for two quarters of an hour, the sound of dense footsteps sounded at the entrance of the village, and when I looked out, the fire outside the village was bright, and one hundred and ten officers and soldiers holding torches surrounded Captain Li and the three of them quickly came to the entrance of the village.

Under the firelight, Captain Li's distinctive military uniform and tall and burly figure looked even more majestic and mighty, but at this moment, his face was extremely gloomy.

"My lord, there are a lot of footprints on the main road in front of the village, and the thieves are probably hiding here. ”

Captain Li looked around, and his gaze on the corpse suddenly lit up. Immediately, he spoke to his subordinates for a while.

Immediately, the 3,000 men were divided into three groups, two of which were outflanked on the outskirts of the village on the left and right, while the rest of the men guarded the main road at the entrance of the village, drew bows and arrows, and erected birds' guns to enter the firing positions under the cover of the wall.

But the back of the village didn't care, because it was a bare mountain range, and there was no way to hide people. In fact, Chang Wei and the others hid on this mountain ridge, lying under the disguise prepared in advance.

Behind Lieutenant Lee, the sword and shield men protected the auxiliary gunners on both wings and made standard tactical moves.

"Hehe, have you finally lost your cool?"

Chang Wei's continuous harassment along the way made the officers and soldiers lose their judgment, and they didn't even send scouts into the village to investigate, and only made artillery bombardments based on footprints on the ground.

Soon the loaded ten tiger squat guns began to bombard, and the gunners' gunners were not even qualified compared to the volunteer battalion. Only one of the first shelling was near a courtyard at the head of the village.

Lieutenant Li scolded for a while, and in the second round, three shells hit the courtyard in the village, and in the third round, he miraculously hit five shots, and the gunners cheered in unison.

Captain Li excitedly pulled out his waist knife and swung it forward, "Bird hand, shoot!"

It's just that he was too excited, and he didn't seem to notice that there was no other sound in the village except the sound of cannons, maybe he just wanted to vent his frustration.

With the order, a dense burst of gunfire rang out like fried beans, and then the archers, shieldmen, and spearmen quickly advanced into the devastated village.

Soon, Chang Wei, who was hiding in a safe position, found out that he was wrong, and the mistake was quite outrageous, because Captain Li's men were excitedly cutting off the heads of the corpses in the village.

In an instant, Chang Wei understood why Captain Li was attacking the silent village, and a nameless anger rose in his heart, "Is this the legendary killing of good and risky deeds? )
