Chapter 174 Row of guns

"Boom..."

Those who have not experienced such a formation cannot realize that hundreds of cavalry are rushing towards their own direction, and their horses are constantly hitting the earth, and their hearts are shocked to the point where they feel. In the era of cold weapons, cavalry is the most intimidating group of troops. Except for those veterans who have already put life and death, no one can turn a blind eye to such a scene. At least, soldiers like Nanjing Shenji Camp who have never experienced actual combat cannot.

Like a tense string, when the musketeers of the Shenji Camp saw the opponent's cavalry rushing towards them in a daze, only more than 200 meters away, a musketeer could no longer help pulling the trigger in his hand. The fuse ignited the gunpowder. With a low muffled sound, the gunpowder in the gun instantly ignited and burst out energy to stimulate the lead bullet in the gun chamber.

"Bang!"

The sound of the musket was like a lead. The soldiers of the Shenji Camp, whose nerves had already reached the extreme, pulled the trigger in their hands one after another. As the white smoke rose up, the three hundred soldiers of the Shenji Camp fired the ammunition from the gun chamber in just seven or eight seconds.

"These idiots don't even know that those rebels are luring them to fire..."

Xu Hongji, who was watching the battle behind, was so angry that he cursed. He saw all this clearly that he knew what the musket soldiers with no ammunition in the bird gun would end up facing the cavalry armed to the teeth.

Compared with Xu Hongji who was furious, Yang Daniu shouted loudly in excitement: "Brothers, the miscellaneous people in front have no ammunition, everyone kill them!"

"Kill!"

Amidst the sound of shouting, more than 100 cavalrymen who were originally acting as bait to lure the opponent to fire immediately changed their strategy. They began to gather from their original scattered state, and rushed towards the Shenji Camp, which was busy loading ammunition for the bird gun in front of them before they could react.

"Quickly, order the Shenji Camp to withdraw!"

Xu Hongji, who was scared from behind, had already been frightened and immediately issued an order to withdraw the Shenji Camp, but it was too late. The distance of more than 200 meters was only more than ten seconds for the war horses in the sprint stage. When they saw the cavalry rushing toward the Shenji Camp soldiers in front of them, they were in chaos. They threw away the bird guns in their hands and ran away. However, they were still rational and did not run towards the front of the battle formation, otherwise they would be lively. But even so, they could not run a few steps before being caught up by the cavalry behind them.

"Bump...bump..."

Unlike the expected scene of flying sabers, the cavalry did not draw their swords and chop people after approaching the musket soldiers, but took out their hand guns and pulled the trigger.

As the person rushing in the front, Yang Daniu aimed at a soldier from the Shenji Camp less than five meters away and pulled the trigger. With a loud "bang!", the soldier flew straight away with the rising smoke. The blood hole in the soldier's back in the air was constantly spraying with blood.

"Bang bang bang..."

With the continuous sound of hand guns, a soldier from Shenji Camp who was escaping from behind was named one by one by the cavalry chasing from behind. The cavalrymen were slashed with sabers after their hand guns. In less than a cup of tea, the three hundred soldiers from Shenji Camp were completely lost, and in the end, no ten people could escape back were left.

Looking at the soldiers of the Shenji Camp who were corpses everywhere, Xu Hongji closed his eyes in pain. After half of his cavalry lost, a built-in Shenji Camp was gone again. At this moment, his first time felt regretful. Is it really worth it to be right with Yang Feng like this?

Maybe someone would ask where Xu Hongji's cavalry went. Isn't he still half of the cavalry left? In fact, this is the fault of Xu Hongji. Given that the cavalry suffered too much loss, Xu Hongji just ordered the cavalry that had suffered heavy losses to withdraw from the phalanx to undergo a simple rest. However, this order ruined the entire Shenji Camp. Otherwise, if his cavalry was still protecting both sides of the phalanx just now, even if the Shenji Camp performed incorrectly, it would not end up being wiped out.

"Retreat...ret back!"

After killing the Shenji Camp, the satisfied Yang Daniu issued an order to retreat, and more than 100 cavalrymen subdivided the two teams to retreat to both sides of their teams. And just when they were fighting, the musket phalanx commanded by Yang Feng did not stop, but continued to advance forward, slowly approaching the front of the Nanjing Camp soldiers, which were composed of spear soldiers.

Seeing that the opponent's musket soldiers had approached more than 100 meters from the square formation of his spear, Xu Hongji knew that he could no longer let the opponent approach like this. His Divine Machinery Camp had been wiped out. If he remained unmoved, he would only wait for the entire army to wipe out the end. In desperation, he issued an order to attack the entire army.

"Assault...Assault of the whole army!"

Under Xu Hongji's order, the square formation began to move. First, the four hundred spearmen in the front rushed towards the oncoming musket soldiers.

"Stop!"

"Rise the musket!"

Seeing the spearmen on the opposite side rushing towards him, a hundred-house Li Zheng, who was on the left side of the muskets, issued an order to stop moving forward. As a soldier stopped moving forward, they raised the muskets, and the black muzzles pointed at the spearmen who were rushing towards them in front.

"Run!"

After all, the spearmen were infantrymen, and the distance of more than 200 meters was enough for them to run for dozens of seconds. So when they ran to a distance of 100 meters from the Jiangning Guards, the musketeers on the opposite side were ready to shoot.

He silently calculated the distance between the other party. When the distance between the two parties was about 80 meters, Li Zheng raised the long knife in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Open Fire"

"Bang bang bang..."

A thick roll of eyes rose at the same time, and lead bullets quickly advanced at a speed of more than 500 meters per second until they finally hit the target.

A man holding a spear suddenly burst out of blood on the soldier who rushed to the front. Many people were hit by the huge impact of lead bullets and then rolled to the ground. Those who did not die on the spot fell to the ground and rolled all over the ground. A shrill wail sounded in front of the formation, and for a moment, the smell of blood and smoke filled the formation.

Suddenly, dozens of companions fell down, which had a huge impact on the morale of the army. Many chargers hesitated a little. At this time, a trumpet waving a long sword always shouted loudly: "Surrive up... The rebels' muskets have been fired, and they have no bullets! Rush up and cut off their heads!"

"Bang bang bang..."

Just as the president finished speaking, another neat sound of muskets sounded. It turned out that the musket soldiers from the second row opened fire, and dozens of spearmen fell down in this round of shooting.

"Retreat in the second row, and forward in the third row!"

"Open fire!"

"Bang bang bang..."
