Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 520 Battle (Part 2)

The gunmen under the "King of Chaos" and "King of Ruler" took the opportunity to raise their guns and fired at the crowd of officers and soldiers. Immediately, more than ten officers and soldiers fell.

The other soldiers also quickly grabbed their bows and arrows and shot randomly into the formation of officers and soldiers. Most of the officers and soldiers relied on shields and armor to resist, but only twenty or thirty people were unlucky and were shot to the ground.

At this time, there was some commotion in the formation of officers and soldiers, but it was quickly controlled by the officers with whips and waist knives.

At this time, the officers and soldiers also began to use bows and arrows and some small tiger crouching cannons, Western cannons, and prisoner-killing cannons to fight back.

The rebels were also killed and injured more than ten people, but fortunately they were all solid bullets fired by small-caliber artillery, so the lethality was not very strong.

Since most of the firepower of the officers and soldiers has been released, how long will it take if we don't charge at this time? Zhang Shun would not just watch the officers and soldiers finish loading the firearms in their hands and shoot at the rebels again.

So, Zhang Shun gave an order, and the rumbling war drums sounded again, but this time the drum beats were intensive and exciting!

This was the call to charge. The rebels understood it and quickly followed the drum beat, shouting loudly: "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!"

The sound of war drums, footsteps, and charges came together, like landslides and tsunamis, rolling in following the rebel army that was advancing like a wall.

Although the Beijing camp under Wang Pu and Ni Chong received better treatment and better equipment than most armies, they were poorly trained and lacked the leadership of famous generals.

Everyone's face turned pale in horror, and some even dropped the spears in their hands, turned around and ran away.

There is a saying in later generations: "Those who run away after seeing a thief are considered brave, those who run away when looking for the wind are considered brave, and those who run away after misunderstanding are considered brave." Although these Beijing camps are not so miserable, they are not much stronger.

The officers under Wang Pu quickly waved their swords and killed more than ten people before stopping the rout.

At this time, seeing that the rebels were approaching, the soldiers quickly lit the three-eyed blunderbuss, quick guns and other firearms in their hands, and put them forward with their eyes closed, regardless of any orders.

In ancient times, soldiers fought in formations, not as shown in later film and television works, where people were close to each other, crowded together, and lined up in a dense formation.

In fact, there is a gap between the soldiers, which is roughly the width of two body positions, to facilitate the passage and rotation of the soldiers in the front and rear rows.

The officers and soldiers just released the fire cannons randomly, and naturally they didn't have much hit rate. Except for a few unlucky ones, the rebels easily entered the stage of close combat with the officers and soldiers.

The three rows in front and behind couldn't help but level their spears and began stabbing at each other randomly. The rifle used by the infantry was one foot and four feet long, which is about four and a half meters long in later generations. Rows of soldiers were waving their weapons, and as far as the eye could see, they were full of gun barrels.

At this time, which warrior dares to charge forward? So both sides started paddling with peace of mind. You knocked on my pole, and I knocked on your pole, but neither of them dared to step forward.

Only those who are bold enough to stand too far forward will be likely to be stabbed to the ground by the opponent looking for an opportunity. However, because they are protected by armor, those who are stabbed may not die.

As time went by, the troops behind the formation did not understand the leisurely and contented "paddling" of the soldiers in the front row.

Instead, under the urging of the officers, they slowly crowded forward. Gradually, the soldiers in the first row of "paddling" will find that the space behind them is getting smaller and smaller, and the position where they can move left and right is getting narrower and narrower.

As a last resort, the first row of both sides had no choice but to break the original tacit understanding and point their spears at the opponent's face, neck, chest and other fatal places.

Because the distance between the two parties is getting closer and closer, if you don't greet the other party, no one can guarantee that the other party will not greet you. Everything is out of necessity, and we can only hold on to the end with one breath.

At this time, if you want to escape, you have nowhere to run. You can only be crowded and hand your chest and neck to the opponent's gun.

The front lines of both sides were like a meat grinder. After each side paid more than a hundred lives, the soldiers in the front row finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Due to overcrowding on both sides, even the first row did not have enough space to deploy their spears. However, there are some smart ones who will grab the middle or front part of the spear and stab the opponent's head and neck from top to bottom.

However, these are only a few after all. Without waiting for how many casualties they cause, both the enemy and ourselves will be squeezed chest to chest, with their eyes facing each other.

You stared at me and I stared at you. I could only stare anxiously, but I couldn't help it.

However, the commanders of both sides would not allow them to be "paycheck thieves", and they soon dispatched lightly armored or even unarmored soldiers armed with wrist-breaking knives, swords, daggers and other short-range soldiers.

They emerged from the cracks in the crowd and used their weapons to attack each other's ankles, shins, knees, thighs and even testicles.

The soldiers holding spears had no choice but to get together with the other side's soldiers and kick the "insidious" guys on the other side with their feet.

The two sides competed for a long time, and soon ran out of energy. As a result, the leaders of their respective teams quickly asked their soldiers to rotate forward and backward, giving the first row of soldiers time to breathe and rest.

When the front line of the rebel army was tired, Zhang let the rear line push forward and took the front line to rest.

Let's not talk about how the infantry maintains the battle line, but let's talk about the cavalry near the mountain side. Due to the narrow terrain of both sides, the cavalry was unable to perform many maneuvers and harassment tactics. Everyone had no choice but to pick up their spears, gritted their teeth and rush towards each other.

There were about twice as many officers and soldiers as the rebel cavalry. However, due to terrain reasons, the cavalry's advantage was still not possible.

He Jin acted as the cavalry in the front line and clashed with the officers and soldiers twice. After finally returning to the formation, after counting the number of people, he discovered that he had lost thirty or forty cavalry all of a sudden, which made He Jin heartbroken.

Seeing that He Jin suffered many casualties, Zhang Shun quickly asked He Yilong to lead the team forward to replace He Jin. He Yilong was more straightforward than He Jin. After entering the battle, he immediately formed a formation and charged again.

The two sides fought again for two rounds, and He Yilong's losses were almost the same as He Jin's. He Yilong couldn't help but his eyes turned red, and he shouted loudly: "The brave one wins when we meet on a narrow road, come again!"

Although these Beijing camp horses are good, the cavalry's ability and courage are not as good as those of the rebels who fought all the way.

Although there were many officers, soldiers and cavalry, they actually lost one to two hundred cavalry in four confrontations. When the officer leading the team saw that the thief opposite was a fool, he immediately wanted to retreat.

After all, everyone only has one life. When the cavalry is hedging, no matter how high or low your status is, whether your armor is strong or rotten, whether you are skilled in martial arts or it is your first time on the battlefield.

Under a lance charge, all beings are equal. Once he was stabbed by a lance, he was almost killed on the spot.

As a result, the officers and soldiers no longer relied on the large number of cavalry to move forward to suppress the rebel line, but slowly retreated a little. Seeing this, Zhang Shun was reluctant to waste his cavalry here. He quickly ordered people to wave the flag and ordered He Yilong to just keep an eye on the officers and cavalry, and there was no need to go too hard.
