Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 231 Proven Line Tactics

The power of the extermination cannon is not as powerful as the red cannon, and it cannot penetrate the tank with a large defensive shield, but it is better because of its large number, and it can still kill the enemy personnel behind the tank.

Finally, under the heavy bombardment of the new army's artillery fire and the loss of more than half of various tanks, the Guan Ning army finally advanced to a position about a hundred meters away from the new army camp.

Under the officer's order, they immediately rectified the tank formation, and then ignited the rocket fuze on the tank without hesitation.

"Swish, swish..." For a moment, countless rockets flew out like raindrops, and then fell towards the new army camp.

The new army was clearly prepared. The front of the formation were all shield soldiers. Before the enemy tanks lined up, they immediately raised their shields.

"Bang bang bang..." The rocket hit the shield like hail.

Although the new army's protection is tight, casualties are inevitable.

However, the launch of this kind of rocket car is basically a one-off. After all, reloading the rocket is relatively complicated, and there is no time to reload and launch for the second time during the attack at this time.

Therefore, the rocket car that released the rocket was thrown aside, and the Guan Ning Army's tiger squat gun also launched a counterattack, but its range and power were naturally no way compared with the improved gun of the new army. The main reason for needing to get closer to a closer distance to fire a cannon.

"Bang bang bang..." One after another, the shotgun hit the shield, making a sound like gold and iron colliding, because the shield surface of the front shield of the new army camp was covered with a five millimeter thick iron plate.

The artillery of the new army did not stop, and the two sides engaged in artillery battles at close range.

The artillery of the new army clearly had the upper hand, and the enemy artillery was defeated and retreated to the left and right.

The enemy gunners and archers quickly continued to approach the distance, and the artillery of the new army stopped after a round of shooting.

The shield soldiers rotated left and right, and the musketeers lined up in three horizontal lines and placed them in front. The soldiers in the first row immediately raised their guns to aim, but they did not rush to shoot and let the enemy approach.

Thirty feet, twenty feet, seeing that the new army still did not shoot, the advancing Guan Ning army was overjoyed, the commanding officer gave an order, and as soon as the advancing pace stopped, he immediately raised his gun to shoot first.

"Bang bang bang..."

Dozens of soldiers from the new army who were raising their guns to aim fell down sparsely, but the others still did not shoot. The soldiers in the second row silently filled the gap left by the front row.

Although I don't know why, the commander of the Guanning Army was overjoyed, and ordered the bird gunners who had just shot in the front row to retreat to the back, put the second row in front, reload while advancing, and then shoot quickly.

Repeatedly, while approaching, while shooting.

Tang Ning, the generals and staff officers were watching the battle ahead with binoculars. They watched their soldiers line up and let the opponent knock them down one by one without fighting back. They all involuntarily looked at Tang Ning.

Sun Lin couldn't help but said: "Our flintlock guns are better than the enemy's blunderbuss. The enemy has already fired first. Why don't we fight back? Isn't it just playing with the lives of soldiers?"

Sun Lin's words were already a little harsh. Even though Tangning had a thick skin, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed at this moment, but he still said patiently, "Everyone, look at it."

Zuo Menggeng, Lu Guangzu and others looked at them strangely and remained silent.

"Alas..." Sun Lin let out a long sigh, vaguely feeling that Tangning was not as she had been rumored to be.

Finally, the distance between the two sides on the front line was within fifteen feet.

Suddenly, an order was given, followed by a horn of "beep...".

"Bang bang bang..." The new army finally counterattacked, and the first row of musketeers pulled the trigger almost simultaneously.

Guan Ning's gunners, who were approaching the new army side by side, fell down, and everyone was shocked, but many people just lit the matchlock and watched the matchlock burn slowly, and the rear row was loading gunpowder.

After the first row of the new army fired, the musketeers in the first row turned around immediately, moved from the gap between the soldiers in the second row and the third row to the third row, and then began to load ammunition.

The second and third rows of soldiers took a quick step forward, and the second row became the first row. The soldiers immediately shrank their formation to get closer to each other, and then quickly raised their guns to aim.

"beep……"

Under the command of the loudspeaker, the soldiers fired another shot neatly, and the approaching enemy army was stripped off another layer, and the formation became more and more sparse.

The gunmen of the Guan Ning Army also lined up in several rows, but they did not have a unified order. After shooting, they each loaded their ammunition, and after they were loaded, they fired separately.

Moreover, the soldiers in the back row did not take the initiative to fill the gap left by the killed soldiers, so the formation became sparse.

Coupled with the fact that they were shooting while marching, the formation became quite messy before they knew it.

In terms of firearms, the new army's flintlock guns fired faster, so the shooting density of the Guan Ning army was far behind that of the new army, and the damage caused was far weaker than that of the new army.

"Bang bang bang..."

The two sides were still shooting at each other at close range, but the soldiers of the New Army were only scattered and fell down, while the soldiers of the Guanning Army were fallen in large numbers. The contrast was very obvious.

Due to the heavy casualties of the gunners in front, the archers behind were also exposed, so many archers were knocked down by the muskets of the new army before they had time to play their role.

Seeing all this, Tangning smiled, and said lightly, "How is it? Guan Ningjun is not comparable to someone who is still happy."

"When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. This battle formation is the same as the assembly line process in our factory, which can ensure the full and effective output of our firepower."

"Soldiers working together can not only improve each other's morale, but also see their own results in the first place."

"We can think about the soldiers on the front line. After they fired a shot, they saw the enemy fall in pieces. What a sense of accomplishment it was."

"On the contrary, what kind of mood does the enemy feel when he sees his companions falling down in pieces?"

Sun Lin's eyes narrowed in disbelief, and he immediately cupped his hands and said to Tangning, "This tactic created by your lord is really effective against the enemy's infantry. I'm looking forward to this battle with the enemy's cavalry. I hope you've offended me before." Haihan."

Seeing that Sun Lin could rectify his mistakes, Tangning naturally wouldn't blame her. She was in a good mood this time, so she immediately said, "There is no need to be polite, Staff Officer Sun, we just need to have different voices in the army, the three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. "

"However, it is still too early to say that this tactic is completely feasible. It must pass the test of the enemy cavalry, especially the Tartar cavalry, before it can be considered truly feasible."

Speaking of this, Tangning looked at Sun Lin again and said, "If the enemy cavalry cannot break through our battle formation this time, Staff Officer Sun should no longer object to my implementation of the hollow phalanx."

Talking about Sun Lin was a bit awkward this time, he naturally knew what Tangning was talking about.

This kind of formation looks more adventurous. It is to arrange this kind of line battle formation in four directions to form a square formation, and the middle is hollow, so it is called a hollow square formation.

According to Tang Ning, all the soldiers in this hollow phalanx were only equipped with bayonets and flintlock guns, and they were placed in an open area. Several hollow phalanxes were spread out. Except for some artillery, there were no defensive measures around them. .

When Sun Lin thought of this formation at the time, it felt like a child's play, a tactic that only ignorant children could think of.

But now, he naturally didn't dare to think so easily, otherwise he would be that ignorant child.

Of course, Tangning didn't dare to implement this tactic right now. After all, in addition to the tacit cooperation of the soldiers, this kind of battle also required the soldiers to have enough courage and determination to die.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for ordinary soldiers to face the ferocious charge of cavalry.

The new army can only be regarded as a young team, without going through all kinds of life and death trials, Tangning did not dare to carry out this kind of risky tactics.

So even though he was using line tactics now, he tried his best to arrange a barbed wire fence in front of the formation for emergencies.
