Chapter Seventy-Three: Hesitation (Part 2)


Chapter 73: Hesitation Part 2 "Come closer, I won't believe it if you continue to shoot."

Li Hara was so angry that he was shaking with anger at what he saw with his own eyes, and continued to yell in a hoarse voice.

The soldiers under his command were obviously unwilling to admit defeat and continued to move forward slowly with their weapons raised.

The shortfall refers to the period from when the enemy's vanguard enters the effective killing range of the arrow to when it rushes into the sight of the archer.

It does not apply to situations where both sides deliberately suppress the advancement speed.

In terms of physical strength alone, an experienced archer can shoot fifteen to twenty arrows in a row in each battle.

And at about twenty steps, the lethality of the feather arrow will reach its limit.

What happened next made Li Hara feel confused.

Knowing that they wanted to close the distance in order to better utilize the power of bows and arrows, the Huai'an army on the opposite side was still unhurriedly forming their team.

The first two rows of spearmen, one squatting and one standing upright.

The soldiers behind the spearman, accompanied by some weird whistle sound, quickly adjusted the distance between them, as if they were about to perform on stage.

Although the advancing speed of both sides was not fast, in the blink of an eye, the distance between them was still shortened to sixty steps.

And at a suffocating speed, it continued to shorten to fifty steps.

Closer, closer, closer, the archer holding the bow arm tightly could almost see the spearman's face.

They stopped suddenly and pulled the bowstring back decisively.

"Bang" The Huai'an army directly in front suddenly burst into a puff of white smoke.

Dozens of bright red blood suddenly emerged from the chests of Li Hara's soldiers, splashing into the air like a fountain.

The horned bow that was not fully drawn quickly fell to the ground, and the out-of-control arrows flew around.

Those who were shot widened their eyes in shock, staggered like a drunkard, and then fell into a pool of blood one after another.

"Zhi" the shrill whistle sounded, and some people in the Huai'an army retreated quickly.

The archers in the Yuan army fired arrows in panic.

Most of the arrows went straight to the spearmen, or were bounced off the armor and helmets, or stuck in the armor, shaking, but unable to penetrate any further.

Only a few of them had good luck.

They were shot through the gap specially left for the eyes on the cheek, causing the person who was hit by the arrow to fall down suddenly.

The spearmen in the second row quickly stepped forward to take up their positions.

Use your body to block the rain of arrows, refusing to let them cross this moving Great Wall.

The second musketeers of each company who quickly came forward from the back row did not hesitate to set up their weapons, pointed at the chest of the target forty steps away, and decisively pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

Almost at the same time as the second wave of arrows came, more than 80 lead bullets left the barrel of the gun.

Most of the feathered arrows were in vain, but most of the lead bullets directly penetrated the armor, muscles and sternum of the opponent, instantly smashing the target's internal organs to pieces.

More than 150 of the 800 troops under Li Hagao fell in the blink of an eye.

The remaining souls were so frightened that they no longer had the courage to draw their bows, so they turned around and fled back.

"Steady, steady, two sides on the left and right, two sides on the left and right, charge forward, fight in close quarters."

Li Gao was wrapped in his own soldiers and reluctantly mobilized his horse to escape, while turning his head and shouting orders.

His judgment was very accurate.

The most powerful part of the Huai'an Army's phalanx was the front.

If the two wings are hit, it will easily affect his offensive rhythm.

However, the left and right Yuan soldiers who witnessed the collapse of the Chinese army completely lost their ability to think.

They all turned their heads and followed in the footsteps of their coach.

"Steady, steady, steady," Li Hara shouted at the top of his lungs as he ran away.

Before we could figure out what was going on, the battle was completely lost.

If he still wants to survive, he must show some qualities worthy of Yabaturu's sword.

This lucky idea completely ruined his chance of escape.

The sharpshooters of the Huai'an Army behind them were worried that they could not find a suitable target.

Seeing a guy on a war horse actually trying to re-stabilize the team, he immediately turned the magic gun in his hand towards him.

"Bang", "bang", "bang", three projectiles coated with soft lead shot into Li Hara's body from three different angles.

The man was beaten so hard that he flew up from the saddle and died on the spot.

"Bang!"

Another bullet wrapped in soft lead shot another Meng Yuan Qianhu off his mount, who was fleeing on horseback.

The shot was so far away that even a few sharpshooters in the teaching group couldn't help but look around to find the direction of the origin of the shot.

Before the target could be found, there was another clear gunshot, and a centurion of the Tanma Red Army who stopped to organize his companions to escape had half of his head smashed.

"Keep your focus, kill the officers first, then the soldiers."

Colonel Yihui, riding a war horse, caught up from behind and shouted a reminder to the sharpshooters of the first battalion.

"Yes."

The three sharpshooters quickly averted their eyes and followed the team in stride.

While clearing the barrel of the magic gun as quickly as possible, press in the gunpowder and projectiles from the front.

Then use the rod to compact it, raise the muzzle, and quickly find the next valuable target.

"Bang!"

Wu Liangmou, the commander of Huai'an's Fifth Army, fired another shot at an unlucky enemy general a hundred steps away.

Then he shook his head and threw the magic gun to his own soldiers in a very unsatisfactory way.

His soldiers put away the magical gun and the several that had been emptied before, and put them into the carriage behind.

Then they once again formed a fan shape in front of Wu Liangmou's horse to prevent his capital commander from encountering some unimaginable dangers.

"If you have nothing to do, go and capture a few prisoners.

Don't waste your time here."

Wu Liangmou shook the reins several times, but was blocked by his own soldiers.

He ordered very unhappy.

I thought that this time I could trap the father and son of Badiya Badulu in the city and catch turtles in an urn.

Unexpectedly, the other party was far more cunning than he thought.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, he immediately cut off his tail to survive.

As a result, the two combat brigades of the Fifth Army only landed one battalion each, and wiped out the tail left behind by Badaya Badulu.

Let him, the commander-in-chief, fail to play any role from beginning to end.

"Okay, Brother Youtu.

Do you still want to be Hu Tongfu?"

Lu Deshan took a square step and caught up from behind.

With one sentence, Wu Liangmou's urge to go to the battle to have fun was completely killed.

After more than two years of experience, he is no longer the nerd who only knew how to talk on paper.

The use and understanding of firearms come into play.

Knowing that sooner or later this thing will become a thorn in the heart of a strong general, he will never allow his friend to take another step forward in the direction of a peerless general.

"Hu Tongfu, what's wrong with Hu Tongfu?

I just like the high-spirited style of play of the Second Army.

Every time, it's hearty."

Wu Liangmou turned around and glared at Lu Deshan, with seven dissatisfactions and eight dissatisfaction on his lips, but the bloodthirsty desire in his eyes was swift.

It cooled down.

"We have mastered the firearms drill.

Don't talk too much, and we have three brigades.

I guarantee that you will have a good time in the future."

Lu Deshan did not deny it, but just looked forward to the future with a smile.

At this time, Wu Liangmou was completely out of temper.

He shook his head and dismounted angrily.

What Lu Deshan said is absolutely correct.

A team that uses a large number of muskets, especially a team that uses Suifa guns, has absolutely unparalleled attack power.

As long as the brothers cooperate skillfully and form a three-fold horizontal formation, they can take turns firing at the enemy.

The speed is no less than that of bows and arrows, but the power is at least two to three times that of bows and arrows.

Thousands of muskets were fired continuously, and even if there was an indestructible body in front of them, they would eventually be beaten into a hornet's nest.

What's even more frightening is that the physical requirements for musketeers are far lower than those of pikemen and archers.

As long as he can hold a musket weighing less than ten kilograms flat and can walk wearing a breastplate, he can hope to become a qualified musketeer.

The next thing that needs to be worked hard is to obey orders and maintain a stable mentality.

As for accuracy, that is a skill that only marksmen need to possess.

Ordinary musketeers just need to pull the trigger at the target directly in front.

With the shooting speed and the density of the projectiles, they can defeat the opponent to a pulp.

Note 1 "I think the Lord gave us all the first batch of Thunder Guns and Divine Machine Guns, and he must have the intention of letting our Fifth Army take the lead in developing in this direction."

Seeing that Wu Liangmou was not in a high mood, Lu Deshan thought for a while and continued to teach with a smile.

"As for you and me, no matter how hard we try, our martial arts skills are still not as good as those of Hu Dahai and Chen Zhishan, so we might as well make full use of the strengths of firearms."

"Although I say so, but, lord" Wu Liangmou smiled and shook his head gently.

"Who knows what my lord means?

We'd better not make random guesses."

"I can't guarantee anything else.

My lord will definitely vigorously promote firearms in the entire Huai'an army.

If you don't believe it, look at where he has focused his energy in the past few years."

Lu Deshan didn't realize that Wu Liangmou was worried, and laughed.

Supplement.

"Maybe, maybe, you should be right."

Wu Liangmou didn't want to argue with him, so he nodded with a smile.

"Why, do you think my lord has other tricks?"

Finally feeling that Wu Liangmou was a little distracted, Lu Deshan continued to ask.

"This, how do I know this?"

"Brother Youtu, what's wrong with you?"

"Maybe I'm tired.

To be honest, I don't like taking a boat very much."

During the casual chat, Liu Kui, the deputy commander of the Fifth Army, strode over from the direction of Qizhou City, dragging a man covered in blood with one hand and looking admiringly on his face.

"Youtu, Lu Changshi, look at these two heroes I brought back.

Xu Shouhui has been cheating for a long time.

Thanks to the two of them, Da Ya Badulu and his son were kept outside the city."

"Yeah."

Wu Liangmou's brows twitched slightly, and there was some admiration in his eyes.

"Let me have a holiday."

Liu Kui smiled and raised his hands with pride, "This is Wu Youtu, the commander of the fifth army.

This is Luliang Lu Deshan, the commander of the fifth army, Shi.

Our three brothers are Old partner."

After saying that, he quickly released his hand and pointed at the two men covered in blood and introduced, "This is Jinwu General Chen Youliang, and this is Zhendian General Zhang Dingbian.

Both of them are first-class heroes." " As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Youliang and Zhang Dingbian quickly took the lead and saluted Wu Liangmou and Lu Deshan, "I have seen General Wu, and General Shi Mo, the chief of staff, is late to greet you.

Please don't blame me, sir."

"How can you say that two people can defend a dangerous city and fight to the death?

Wu Mou is very impressed."

Wu Liangmou smiled and held his hand in return.

When no one was paying attention, a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

This person is Chen Youliang.

If he orders to kill him, now is the best opportunity.

Liu Kui will never help outsiders, and Lu Deshan will definitely help him find enough excuses in the future, and even help destroy the corpses and eliminate traces.

Thinking of this, he slowly stretched his hand towards the sword.

However, the moment his palm made contact with the hilt of the sword, a stream of cold air rushed down his arm towards the top door.

After killing Chen Youliang, he became the direct descendant of his lord and became the most trusted general in the entire Huai'an army.

However, is this really what the lord wants to do?

Back then, when he only had a few thousand troops in his hands, he let Zhu Chongba go and decisively supported Zhang Shicheng.

Now he has a hundred thousand troops, how could he possibly send an unknown person to him?

Keep them in mind That was not Zhu Chongjiu, not the Governor Zhu he was familiar with.

Maybe, this is just a test question that the Lord set for himself If he really attacked Chen Youliang, I'm afraid he would no longer be Wu Liangmou and no longer worthy of being the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army.

Suddenly, Wu Liangmou found himself trapped in a strange circle.

Either way, it could be wrong.

Standing where he is, he can't see the answer.

"You two have been fighting fiercely for many days.

You must be exhausted."

He suppressed the murderous intention in his heart and ordered in a low voice.

"Come here, send the two warriors back to the city to rest first.

When the battlefield is cleared tomorrow, I, the commander, will hold a candle to celebrate with them."

"Yes."

The soldiers around him were confused, but they agreed very decisively.

Liu Kui and Lu Deshan didn't know what kind of nerve Wu Liangmou had.

But with outsiders in front, the two of them must maintain the latter's authority.

So he smiled and whispered, "General Chen, General Zhang, please go first.

Don't worry about Qizhou City.

Since our Huai'an army has arrived, we will definitely not sit back and watch it fall into the hands of the Tatars." " "Thank you, General Wu, thank you, General Liu, and Lu Changshi."

Chen Youliang was also a man who had been surrounded by mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Although the back of his head was facing Wu Liangmou, he was shuddering in his heart.

Instinctively, I planned to leave here as soon as possible to seek good luck and avoid bad luck.

Liu Kui and Lu Deshan commended the two of them for their bravery, and both sent them off for more than a hundred steps before handing them over to the soldiers and coming back full of confusion.

"Youtu, what's wrong with you today?

You don't look like you at all."

As soon as he saw Wu Liangmou's face, Liu Kui couldn't help complaining loudly.

"I suddenly remembered something."

Wu Liangmou smiled, and the expression on his face suddenly became very relaxed, "I will be outside, and your fate will be decided.

Do you think you can take it for granted?"

Note 1: The accuracy of early muskets was very average.

Therefore, lining up and walking up to the enemy to fire became the mainstream of musketry tactics.

But with the emergence of the Mini rifle, this tactic began to be gradually eliminated.

New team coordination, infantry and artillery coordination and other tactics began to gradually take to the battlefield
