The thirty-seventh chapter of the common soldier, the gentleman, the golden drum (18)

Those who fight by car are gentlemen.

Those who line up to hold spears will all be vulnerable.

The gentlemen who have been trained from childhood have fighting skills far better than these common people. The art of shooting is the ability of warriors and nobles to settle down.

The formation after the chariots hit was very scary.

The musketeers who finally waited for the order to shoot almost trembled and retreated to the back to reload.

Compared to the right wing without archers, the left wing musketeers are under greater pressure. Many people cannot calm down when loading, and from time to time they look up to observe the impact of those chariots, worried that these chariots will break through their own military formations.

The musketeers in the rear row made up for the front row and finally saw clearly the situation of the tank after the first volley.

The heavy, fifteen pounds of heavy musket and one or two lead bullets formed, caused the Yue people to lose twenty chariots, but the subsequent chariots could no longer turn and could only continue to rush forward.

After reaching a distance of 60 or 70 steps in a blink of an eye, the speed of the chariot had reached the maximum. Some "Che Left" people on the chariot rely on the shooting skills they trained from childhood to shoot the righteous masters in the front row with their bows.

Although the Yishishi was wearing leather armor in the front row, the distance between fifty and sixty steps and the skills of these samurai trained since childhood still hit thirty or forty people.

The person who was caught in the arrow fell down, and the spearman in the back row immediately moved forward to make up for the gap in the front row. He listened to the sound of his own drums, ate and held the spear with his trembling hands, and half-squatted on the ground to support the spear pole with the earth in order to resist the impact of the chariot.

Eleven small cannons that had been prepared were also aimed at the chariots, which was the last round of artillery fire they could fire during this chariot impact.

The shells composed of gravel and small iron balls shot out on a wide fan. After the speeding horses were concentrated, they fell to the ground with a bang, and several people were thrown out by the speeding chariots.

But more than seventy chariots still rushed to the infantry. The musketeers who could still shoot again could not withstand such an impact and chose to retreat one after another. Only some of the Imperials or veterans chose to shoot one last time and then retreated.

This time, the Yue people lost nearly half of the chariots, but they were not as powerful as the last. Once these chariots tore open the defense line of the infantry, the chain collapse would be caused.

Several chariots rushed too far to turn, and plunged into the hedgehog-like spear formation. The sound of the crackling spear pole breaking was mixed with screams from both sides.

The deputy of the heavy musketeers drew out their short swords, crouched beside the spearmen, and with the help of the spears to fight against the gentlemen who fell from the chariot.

Gong Zaoye also had a mobile preparation brigade of the Mohist charity division. The Vietnamese chariots were also elite, but now he judged that it seemed that there was no need to let the brigade go up.

So while asking people to organize the musketeers who retreated to the back, they continued to load, and at the same time, more than 20 people who were proficient in killing around them were added to the most chaotic and most severely impacted by the chariots.

The chariot was followed by the chariot. If the chariot was still anxious here, the chariot would rush over. But if the chariot could be defeated, it would require the entire formation to fight again.

Gong Zaoye was itchy when he saw it, but now his responsibilities are important and he cannot come forward to kill himself. He can only expect those spearmen to survive this most difficult period by relying on their usual training and discipline.

The front line looks quite neat and is not shaking. As long as you hold on for a while, the Yue people should withdraw and beat the drums and fight again. He is well aware of the previous war patterns.

The Yue people are not stupid either. If the chariot finds that the opponent's infantry is not shaken, it will not choose to give up its speed and play with the spearmen here.

Although the remaining dozens of chariots had begun to turn, these dense spear arrays seriously limited the martial arts behind the chariots, and the length of the halberd could not threaten the infantry lined up.

After the chariot turned, it began to break off contact slightly, and was ready to rely on the left of the chariot to shoot the dense spear array out of the gap, thereby rushing again, or creating an opportunity for the sects and infantry behind.

The spear formation does not disperse and there is no gap, and the impact will only increase casualties.

Some of the chariots with great courage had been loaded in the back row. When the chariots were about to leave and shoot with bows and arrows, the musketeers then stepped forward to the gap in the spear formation and opened fire at the chariots that were speeding thirty steps away.

Even though those who are the che Zuo are superb, the chariots give up the impact and use the ches to shoot to create chaos. It is still acceptable to deal with ordinary disciples, but they are seeking death against the military formation of the chariots mixed with a large number of musketeers.

You can never beat step shooting if you ride and shoot.

Amid the roar of the first group of brave musketeers, Gong Zaoye immediately noticed the threat and hurriedly asked someone to send an order: "Don't chase!"

The one that is placed on the left wing is a number of formations, a dead formation. Once the formation is chaotic, there is a gap, if the King of Yue finds it, or the nobles led by Yue people notice it, it is likely to wedge through the gap, causing the line to shake.

Therefore, there is no way to pursue or counterattack here. All attacks must be completed by relying on the best mobile force on the right wing.

The orders were conveyed in the sound of gunfire, gradually connecting together, and the soldiers of various companies shouted loudly: "No pursuit".

As Gong Zaoye expected, when the impact failed and the chariot turned into a chariot, the attack was over.

Because the number of musketeers is far superior to that of the left of the chariot, and because of the distance of thirty steps, it is convenient for the left of the car to shoot the righteous army in the array with shooting skills, but it is also very suitable for musketeers to counterattack the chariot with heavy muskets.

Two rounds of shooting, the chariot lost, and they turned back. Before the soldiers following behind had fought, they all followed the chariots to retreat.

The righteous army had an order not to pursue, and the formation in the front row was quickly filled, almost the moment the chariot escaped, and the many righteous army infantrymen on the left wing cheered in unison.

They were just educated that they could still resist the impact of chariots by arraying on the plains, as long as the musketeers cooperated.

However, the psychological advantages of aristocratic gentleman for hundreds of years and the chariot fighting methods of hundreds of years of war have made the chariot a psychological existence that crushes infantry.

Although the words of Mozhe were almost nothing, these infantrymen had to reverse this mentality and had to fight against blood and fire.

Fortunately, they withstood the impact of the chariots and even slaughtered many gentlemen and nobles, forcing the Yue people to retreat without the scattered front.

Although we can't pursue it, it's enough to cheer.

Before this, Gong Zaoye only thought that these infantrymen could be called strong troops, but he didn't know how strong they were.

But now, looking at the more than 60 damaged chariots left by the Yue people on the battlefield, and the Yishi infantry who obeyed the orders and did not pursue them, Gong Zaoye understood that it was really like Shi Suo's "pride": this battle will definitely be won, just the difference between a big victory or a small victory.

And this key lies in the right wing of the righteous teacher.

…………

On the right wing, the cavalry of the Yi Division kept patrolling the Vietnamese flanks, but did not attack, as if looking for opportunities.

After the first wave of attacks, the Yueren collapsed, the subsequent Yueren's left wing was concentrated near a small hill. The small hill before the battle was the key point for the infantrymen on the right wing to attract Yueren this time.

Once the attraction is successful, the infantry and cavalry that are moving to the left wing must rely on the cover of this small mound to prevent being noticed by the Yue people, and move around a circle to the left wing from the rear of the mound highland where they are located.

All the six brigades on the right wing were above the A. Pei County was mostly people and had many veterans. In fact, they had a certain advantage in the number of people on the left wing of Yue people.

The 7th Brigade where King Shu Qing was located was located on the far right side of the entire team and the front one. After they were here, they were waiting for the small artillery soldiers on their side to re-open.

Relying on the cavalry's patrol on the flanks, the Yue people were temporarily in a nervous and restless waiting.

In fact, even if the Yue people took the initiative to attack, the Yishi would not be afraid. In the previous chaos of the Yue people, the six brigades of the Yishi's right wing did not pursue it, but stopped the entire team to maintain the formation.

The musket company where King Shu Qing was located had been loaded. He glanced at the artillery behind and had already been deployed. Twenty-five light small cannons were sandwiched between the two brigades and aimed at the Yue people on the hill.

After a roar, the Yue people on the hill could no longer bear this terrifying death and launched an impact on the righteous master below the hill.

Fighting against cold weapons requires courage. You must be able to withstand blood flowing and rupture of your stomach.

But facing the iron barbarians that could land beside them at some point, facing these iron barbarians smashed the heads of their partners around them, and facing the panic of an iron barbarian flying from where to lift their skull... the courage required for fighting cold weapons is far worse than enduring artillery bombardment.

King Shuqing heard the order from the six fingers in the distance, and also heard the change of the sound of the bone flute, so he ordered: "All company! Go forward!"

Accompanied by the orders, the four brigades unfolded in front were commanding with one hand, and they all moved forward. The musketeers were moving forward with the spearman. This time, they wanted to completely defeat the left wing of the Yue people at this time, so as to force the Yue people to mobilize their strength and compress the front line to the side of the Yanshui.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. When the distance was about fifty steps, the drum sound suddenly changed. King Shu Qing subconsciously shouted: "Three rows of fire! Free reload!"

The musketeers in the first row were half-squatted on the ground, the second row fought, and the third row used the huge gap between the mesh guns to spread in the gap behind the second row.

King Shu Qing pointed the musket in front of him at a Yue man wielding a short sword, closed his eyes as soon as he pulled the copper hook, and hurriedly retreated.

The moment the gunfire sounded, the spearmen also launched an attack, and both sides took fifty steps each, which was the best distance to rush up while maintaining the formation.

After King Shu Qing retreated to the back, the remaining two rows of musketeers also completed the shooting and quickly retreated.
