The artillery fire covered all the way up the mountain, and lasted for a full time before the two walled walls were flattened to open the way forward. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, most of the White Lotus Army had already packed up and began to retreat, and the people who remained were still nervously pouring fire oil and preparing to set fire to the camp.

As soon as the artillery fire stopped, the officers found that a small half of the rebels in the wall had been blown into pulp, and the remaining half screamed in horror and wanted to flee backwards, but they were tied up and could not run at all.

The officers watched with horror and a sense of irresistibility.

"It's terrible! Half of the men were lost before they could see the shadow of the officers and soldiers, and if they really fought, they would be more than those who died now. ”

They had fought with the officers and soldiers before, but the artillery of the local guards had a certain head. The firepower of those officers and soldiers is not concentrated, and whether or not they can hit a shot far away or close depends on luck, and this kind of offensive of concentrating fire and bombarding artillery to wash the ground really makes them unable to have the slightest idea of confrontation, if they haven't seen the shadow of the enemy army, they are afraid that they will turn around and flee.

In fact, this is a terrifying effect deliberately created by Huang Chongwu and Chang Ping in order to cooperate with Chang Wei's plan, usually they are reluctant to waste shells to bombard the open space, if they really want to fight, the four or five hundred people will not need a few shells at all. Only by leaving this army with the mind of being invincible and not daring to resist can Chang Wei reveal his true identity in order to subdue them in one fell swoop.

In the frightened and somewhat expectant mood of the officers, the light march of the musketeers was finally clearly audible.

Through the blazing smoke of gunfire, the officers finally saw the soldiers of the musket team marching in a neat attack line with muskets on their shoulders.

"What a beautiful uniform. ”

"What a neat queue. ”

"It's really like what the adults say, it's all musketeers, and there are no other classes!"

Under their watchful eye, the musketeer array suddenly stopped a hundred paces in front of the wall, and with the officer's command, the musketeer array quickly converted into a column and gave way to a large open field in the middle.

Wu Ding glanced at Chang Wei's back, and sighed in his heart: "Is this a pure musketeer unit?

The others looked at the musketeers with surprise and fear, and only Wu Ding commented on the strength of the musket battalion with a harsh and critical eye. Therefore, the queue, military uniforms, artillery fire and other factors that surprised others failed to impress Wu Ding, only this changing formation on the march really surprised him.

When Wu Ding sighed, dozens of tiger squat cannons appeared in the middle of the musketeer camp, and the officers who were watching the battle retreated in unison, urging their subordinates to speed up their movements.

Suddenly the drums and trumpets sounded in unison in the musket corps, and an order was immediately heard from the artillery position, "Shoot all, barrage cover!"

The terrifying roar of dozens of tiger squatting cannons bombarded in turn sounded continuously outside the wall, and the infinite power of the shells not only destroyed all the solid and sturdy wall, but even bombarded the mountain down a small section.

At this point, the shelling was completely over, and the light and rhythmic march of the musketeers immediately resounded in front of the unhindered mountain pass, and the musketeers quickly switched into attacking formations in the sound of strict commands.

The musketeers, marching to the music, approached within fifty paces of the remaining rebels, and the order was given again.

"Stop!"

The officer raised the combat knife in his hand and ordered loudly: "First team, raise your gun and aim!"

The captain and team leader repeated the order: "Raise your gun and aim!"

Whew!

A hundred black holes aimed at the terrified and screaming rebels.

The officer's long knife was suddenly slashed, "Shoot!"

"Shoot!"

Bang bang bang......

With the order, a gunshot rang out like fried beans.

Wu Ding saw: The soldiers in the first row after shooting didn't look at the shooting effect, and no one cheered or cursed, everyone retreated from both sides to the last row to re-array, without any superfluous movements.

"Second squad forward!" the second squad stepped forward with the officer's order.

"Raise your gun and aim!"

"Shoot!"

After a long period of rigorous training, the musketeers have formed a conditioned reflex, and the moment they hear the command, they mechanically complete the simple standard tactical actions such as aiming, shooting, and backward reloading according to the content of the usual training.

"The third team advances!"

"Raise your gun and aim!"

"Shoot!"

The musketeers repeated this simple but effective tactical maneuver again and again. Like a huge and sophisticated machine, without a single superfluous movement or mistake, the whole battle was perfect.

"It's incredible, this is the method of battle that the musket army should have, it's amazing!"

Wu Ding was completely shocked, and in the short time he watched the battle, he found that even if the soldiers had entered the effective firing range, the soldiers would not raise their guns to shoot without the officer's order, and after the military order was issued, the soldiers did not hesitate at all, and immediately pulled the trigger.

Taking advantage of the dense gunshots, Wu Ding leaned into Chang Wei's ear and asked, "My lord, has this army really only been trained for three months?"

Chang Wei nodded and said, "Almost! After the extermination of the Holy Mother Sect, I recruited the soldiers! How do you feel?"

"Breathtaking, invincible! Still, I stick to my previous opinion: there is a way to defeat them with enough cavalry to attack the flank. Wu Ding said with a glittering gaze.

Chang Wei chuckled, "So, Fan Zhen snatched my war horse in Llama Lake, which really angered me!"

"It turns out that your Excellency has known for a long time! If there are cavalry guarding the flanks, then no one is the opponent of this army. At this time, Wu Ding finally knew that at the banquet, Chang Wei deliberately did not admit that the musket team had weaknesses in the flank.

The tactics of the Kung Fu Musketeers who spoke changed again, and the musketeers who were divided into several small phalanxes no longer fired in three rows. Instead, the three rows of musketeers concentrated their fire to fire a unified salvo, then reloaded on the spot, and exchanged for another small phalanx salvo, and the rebels were already dead under the fire wheel of each phalanx.

After a volley, the officers began to shout: "Lord Chang is here, the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town! White Lotus rebels, surrender quickly!"

Chang Wei waved his hand, "Let's go! Let's retreat!"

One or twenty officers surrounded him and silently retreated into the darkness, along the passage behind Taiping Mountain towards the northern foothills. Behind them, the flames soared into the air, and the entire camp immediately turned into a sea of fire.

What Chang Wei didn't know was that when they retreated, an official army in the east of Weishan County looked at the fire in the Taipingshan military camp and entered the East City Gate with surprise and joy.

And in the northeastern part of Taiping Mountain, an official army was also surprised to kill Weishan County, but the direction of their advance was exactly the direction of the retreat of the White Lotus Army, if nothing else, the two armies would meet head-on after half an hour.

After entering the belly of Taiping Mountain and seeing that the soldiers of the musket battalion did not chase after them, the White Lotus Army breathed a long sigh of relief, tonight's experience was too tortuous and bizarre, and they were glad that they finally escaped.

Chang Wei had another feeling in his heart, if he had just revealed his identity and led the soldiers to surrender on the spot, he would enjoy the glory of the victor, and the great achievement of conquering Weishan without blood was enough to make his name widely recited.

But in this way, the main forces of the White Lotus Sect in Teng County and Zou County will be more careful, and Xu Hongru will be more vigilant, so it will take a series of bloody battles to completely eliminate the White Lotus Sect.

Moreover, Shandong is not Nanjing, here Chang Wei only wrote to Yuan Keli, and he did not know anything about the real power figures in Shandong officialdom, such as Governor Zhao Yan, Chief Soldier Yang Guosheng, and Dusi Liao Dong. It is not clear what these people's character, talents, or whether they can cooperate.

On the other hand, the repeated battles made Chang Wei a little tired, and he preferred to fight in the rivers and lakes, count the silver on Liuheng Island, and live a happy life with Xue Qian in his arms at home.

The more important reason is that it is already October, and there are only two months before the martial arts conference, and he must immediately end this war and return to Nanjing to prepare for various work.

Therefore, a one-hit war that is a surprise victory or a desperate one-hit annihilation of the enemy has become the best choice! )
