Ming Zuo

Chapter 441 Defeated
After previous battles, the new army already has very scientific and rigorous regulations for the control of weapons.

When defending, [-] meters is the best distance for the new army's rifles to play.

If it is too far away, the accuracy will be poor.

It's not that the quality of the flash cap gun is not good enough, but that the distance of more than [-] meters has too much impact on people's vision.

Not to mention the current weapons, even if it is a rifle four hundred years later, even equipped with a high-precision scope, the accuracy of the gun has reached an exaggerated level, and it is very difficult to hit a target that is more than [-] meters away .

Another point is that the earth is not flat.

Even the terrain that looks endless at a glance actually has curvature and undulations.

Seeing with the naked eye and aiming with the front sight are completely two feelings.

Only when the target enters a hundred meters, the aiming of ordinary people is a little more reliable.

After all, the vast majority of soldiers are ordinary people, no matter how hard they are trained, they still cannot be compared with sharpshooters.

The new army has already done calculations. At a distance of [-] meters, even if the enemy sprints at full speed, within about [-] seconds, it is enough for the cap gun to fire two or three rounds.

It doesn't seem like much, but considering the density of firepower, it is actually enough to defeat the enemy's offensive formation.

Therefore, today's new army basically puts the enemy at a distance of about [-] meters before firing in defensive operations.

Especially in today's combat tactics, people are gathered together, which greatly facilitates the aiming and shooting of the new army's cap guns, and the lethality is amazing.

Following Mao Yuanyi's order, the new army's guns fired.

Cap guns cut down on the rebel infantry, and infantry began to cover the following phalanxes.

More than forty new-style warheads loaded with gun cotton fell into the rebel array, and the effect was quite astonishing.

Billowing black smoke engulfed innumerable dust and gravel, completely devastating the area within a radius of about two miles.

The only thing that could be seen was the broken limbs and broken arms flying all over the sky, and there was a terrifying rain of blood in midair.

Ren Dong and Shen Shouyao trembled on the spot, their eyes staring straight.

This is artillery?

Why isn't the iron ball tumbling randomly?

Why did it explode?
A round of shelling left a huge gap in the rebels' formation.

And the rebels at the front also didn't get anything good.

After the first row of muskets was fired, the rebels fell by hundreds of people.Only those who huddled behind the shield car escaped unharmed.

But before they had time to rejoice, the sturdy shield vehicle was called by the infantry.

As the shield vehicles were either blown up by artillery or landmines, the rebels remembered the fear in Huang County, and finally retreated one after another, not daring to charge again.

"This is... what kind of magic weapon is this?"

Ren Dong and Shen Shouyao were greatly stimulated. Whether it was artillery or muskets, they were far beyond their cognition.

On the contrary, they took it for granted that the rebels retreated.

However, the rebels retreated, but the new army did not intend to let them go.

The resounding charge horn rang, and the soldiers who had been shrunk in the trench jumped up one after another and launched an attack on their own initiative.

The three-row infantry phalanx was completed almost in the blink of an eye, and began to advance towards the main formation of the rebels.

Those rebels who ran slowly were all beaten to death on the spot.

In the rear, Kong Youde was overjoyed to see the new army launching an attack, and all of them were unarmored infantry.

"General Mao, lead the cavalry, success or failure depends on it."

Mao Chenglu naturally understood it, and immediately ordered the soldiers and horses. Thousands of cavalry left the formation, and first moved to the southwest...

Not in the northeast direction.

Kenli and other places in later generations are still the sea today.

This position was almost built close to the sea.

Therefore, if the cavalry of the rebel army wanted to get behind the new army, they could only run from the southwest.

The new army is the first regiment of the second division.

The head of the regiment Guo Wei and the political commissar Ming Fanglin were both in the formation, and through the binoculars they immediately understood the intentions of the rebel cavalry.

It's just that both of them sneered and didn't pay attention to the rebel cavalry at all.

Under the orders of the two, the first regiment only moved towards the rebel main line.The speed is neither fast nor slow, and there are three rows in front and back, but they are divided into dozens of square formations.

"I don't believe that the cannon was hit hard enough, but this man is also made of iron?"

Seeing the new army leaving the trenches, Kong Youde felt that his artillery should have a chance.

Unexpectedly, when the first artillery had just fired shells into the formation of the new army, causing three or four casualties, the heavy artillery of the new army immediately found them.

In an earth-shattering huge explosion, three red cannons of the rebel army were completely destroyed, and more than [-] people were killed.

The rest of the dead were so angry that they didn't even care about closing the cannons, screaming and running around, and never dared to bombard the infantry of the new army anymore.

In this regard, Li Jiuzheng and Kong Youde have nothing to do.

The range, accuracy, and power of the heavy artillery of the new army are not comparable to those of the red-clothed cannons.

And because the rebels were the attackers before, they didn't dig trenches at all, and they didn't even have bunkers.

Only Mao Chenglu's cavalry can be relied on now.

The speed of the rebel cavalry was very fast. They circled southwest for more than two miles and circled to the side of the new army. Mao Chenglu brandished his long knife and commanded the cavalry to form a formation of wild goose feathers and rushed towards the flank of the new army.

His purpose was to get close to the side of the new army, slide over obliquely, and then use the high-speed riding and shooting to kill the new army.

A cavalry of thousands of people collided from the side, and the new army did not change color.

Guo Wei and Ming Fanglin didn't even pay any attention to them, and the commander only dealt with the battalion commander in that direction.

The battalion commander counted the steps, and when the rebel cavalry approached a kilometer, he suddenly blew his whistle.

The two phalanxes on the right, which originally followed the main force, changed their formation in the administration.

咵咵咵... 咵咵咵...

In the simple and rhythmic sound, it only took about ten seconds for the two phalanxes to complete the transition from horizontal to vertical.

Ren Dong and Shen Shouyao in the rear, and Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde on the opposite side all rubbed their eyes in unison.

What did they see?
Why so fast?

Is this still human?

The development of the battle situation is no longer allowed for them to think about it.

Because it was cavalry to deal with, the new army opened fire at a distance of [-] meters.

It doesn't matter if the hit rate is not high, you just need to hit in the general direction ahead, maybe some unlucky ones will hit the bullet by themselves.

Even so, after the first round of shooting, more than a dozen rebel cavalry fell off their horses, and three horses fell down wailing.

"They let go of their guns, and they all rushed over to me."

Mao Chenglu once again made a wrong judgment, changed his original intention on the spot, and decided to lead his troops into the massacre.

After all, the firecrackers on the opposite side have fired. Isn't this a period of firepower vacuum?

Then he saw the soldiers of the new army in the second row coming forward.

This time, the distance was about [-] meters, and another cloud of white smoke was transpiring.

This time it was much closer, and the lethality of the new army's muskets soared, and more than a hundred rebels fell off their horses.

Then the third row of new army soldiers stepped forward, a distance of one hundred meters.

bang bang bang bang...

The rebels suffered more than two hundred casualties.

Mao Chenglu's heart raised his throat. He was no stranger to the three-stage shot, a tactic that the Ming army had used long ago.

Now, the three-stage shooting is over, and there is still a distance of [-] meters. It's their turn, right?

Then he saw another row of soldiers from the new army came to the front, and their guns were already facing this way.

At the same time, another new army phalanx has been deployed nearby.

This time the musket shots exploded more intensively, hitting like a violent storm.

Before Mao Chenglu could react, he felt something hit his chest, and he flew upside down.

But his foot got stuck in the stirrup, so he didn't fall.But the severe pain in his chest left him with lingering fears.

Fortunately, he is a high-ranking military commander. Before he went to the battlefield, he kept an eye out and put a protective mirror on his armor.

Otherwise, the bullet just now would have sent him away.

A musket fire at an angle is deadly.

After this round of fighting, the rebel cavalry is no longer a question of how many people died.It is visible to the naked eye, and a thick layer has been cut off.

The dead people and fallen horses all caused secondary damage, causing the cavalry who couldn't escape behind them to fall like dominoes.

When the cavalry is charging at full speed, it is very difficult to stop.But the chaos that has formed now makes it impossible for the rebel cavalry to maintain their speed.

The front fell and squeezed together, almost like a wall.No matter how stupid the one behind is, they will work hard to slow down their horses.

Finally, the charging cavalry finally stopped.

But in such a process, the rebels were completely beaten and lost half of their strength.

The rest of them couldn't find the leader, couldn't get over the obstacles, and were frightened by the new army's terrifying musket array, so they turned around and retreated on the spot, wishing they could run with their horses on top of their heads.

On the front, Li Jiuzheng and Kong Youde were completely desperate when they saw that the cavalry who had been given high hopes could not even charge through the unarmored infantry.

Seeing that the main force of the new army was getting closer and closer, and all the rebel soldiers had trembling legs and terrified eyes, they knew that this battle was over.

"withdraw!"

　Thank you for the reward that it is so difficult to get a name casually!
