Chapter 135 Punch a hammer without a hammer

These scholars who rushed out of the camp with the yelling attack heretics did not wait for the order to attack, but instead took the lead in anger.

Dozens of people crossed the camp and rushed towards the direction of the Mo family army formation. There was no cover or formation, and some were only infinite tragic.

When these dozens of people rushed out first, the gathered soldiers and martial artists also launched an attack on the Mo family's military formation in all directions.

Behind them were hundreds of disciples. Although there were no chariots, the disciples still had to follow this kind of attack.

However, the overall military formation of Qi State had not moved, and the doctor Pingyin did not dare to move. Once the formation was activated, it would be easy to be confused.

Seeing the soldiers rushing towards the Mo family army formation, Doctor Pingyin praised: "What awesome! Warriors! If they can destroy the Mo family's bronze cannons, they will be rewarded!"

All his hopes are placed on this desperate attack.

Otherwise, the Mo family's artillery continued to bombard and could not fight back here, and it would be sooner or later that the morale of the army would collapse, and it would be inevitable that there would be a gap.

On the north side of the entire battlefield, the fifteen front-line cannons on the six fingers became the first to bear the brunt.

Six fingers were on the hillside, looking helplessly at Qi Ren who was rushing in the distance, frowned and said, "Is this asking for death?"

He knew that the target of these people was his own bronze cannon because it was too obvious.

However, he was not nervous at all. When he ordered the two divisions to fully deploy into a thin line, he was destined that the possible counterattack of the Qi people could only be dominated by infantry.

It is not because the Qi people must follow the appropriate plan, but because the Qi people are sure that the Qi people will not concentrate on impact on the chariots, they choose to set up this formation.

The chariot needs too much room to unfold, and the chain reaction caused by a defeat is unbearable for the Qi people. Too much room to unfold means that the front line is weaker and there are loopholes everywhere.

It is correct to use chariots as camps, rely on crossbowmen, musketeers and archers to defend, and reduce the area of ​​defense.

The only mistake was that the Qi army's artillery could not hit the Yi army, otherwise this would be a clever plan, a clever plan that would last until five days and ten days to turn the important land into a dead land.

The Six Fingers didn't know that those Qi people who were impacting were all bloodline soldiers or abilities.

In his eyes, these people who are impacting are just hand-to-hand elites.

Put it on the side of the righteous army, that is, the people who used melee and fight to win the battle and use swords and shields to defend the city gate; or the cavalry who will send some iron wedges to destroy the opponent's copper cannon before the attack.

This kind of response method has been practiced long ago.

So he ordered: "Everything is normal, let the artillery continue to unfold. The musketeers set out to prepare, and when the Qi army approaches 80 steps, they will shoot one after another. Six rows of platoons sprung, and after six rounds of shooting, the gunner and the musketeers retreated to the side of the spearmen, and the spearmen attacked and drove them away."

"Remember, don't chase! Don't mess up the formation, just as long as they retreat."

The messenger repeated the order and passed the order to the front. The brigade commanders of each brigade once again gave the order to each company.

The gunners did not look up at the Qi army rushing forward. There were no cannons on the opposite side to harass them, nor were the musketeers approaching to shoot. They just sounded scary, but they knew that they would not cause any harm to them.

The Sima Chief of the artillery and the company commanders ordered the copper cannon to be unfolded step by step, listening to the trumpets of the infantry behind him. The trumpets were not heard, and they would not retreat.

The drums rang out, and the musketeers quickly formed six rows, leaving enough space to prevent the fuse from igniting the gunpowder of their partners, and also leaving a path for them to intersperse backwards.

The command has been conveyed: after six rows of rounds of fire, retreat in turn and reload freely.

At the beginning of the array, they had completed the loading, and at this time they just need to wait.

The wooden fork used to stabilize the musket or the fork axe that can be close to each other when it is close to each other. The musketeers in the first row have already checked and won, and put the heavy musket on the wooden fork and wait quietly.

Veterans wearing deerskin hats symbolizing over-term service even had time to chew their beards leisurely, occasionally taking out a piece of sugar covered with sand and filling them with their mouths and holding them.

Those recruits who served for a short time were somewhat nervous, but they had been practicing hard for a long time in the military camp and could still maintain saliva in their mouths, sweaty palms, and shaking their bodies.

The bitterness of the fuse burning is a bit choking. The hemp rope soaked by vinegar, salt and nitrate is very slow to burn. In fact, there is no need to look down from time to time to see if the fuse on the snake hook is not long enough. But these recruits always look down and look at it, or fiddle with it.

The Qi army on the opposite side, with fur hats, were getting closer and closer, and the formation had already been loose. When they saw eighty steps, the drum sounds on the Yishi Division suddenly began to be rapid. A sharp whistle was the sound of Sima Chang in the musket company shouting at the top of his throat.

The artillery continued to be busy and didn't care what was shouting here.

The musketeers in the head rank aimed at Qi Jun opposite him, pulled the trigger, and retreated from both sides with the musket in both hands, retreated to the spearman and lined up before continuing to load.

The musketeers in the second row took two steps forward, stood in the position of the first row before, and put the muskets that had been prepared on the wooden fork, and fired the second shot at the impact of Qi as the smoke filled the smoke.

After going back and forth, many Qi troops had already fallen to the ground before they even approached.

Many disciples who were attacking each other have chosen to turn around and run back. After all, those warriors have to train more professionally all year round. They can still maintain morale with the death of their partners, shouting slogans such as "Rising for the World".

But they usually can't afford Si Shang iron armor that doctors can afford, and the leather armor on them can't stop the smaller caliber muskets that began to be equipped after the Battle of Hanshui.

Some people kept falling to the ground and running away, but some people still defeated their cowardice, fear of being killed by their partners, and those lead bullets without rules...

When they rushed to the thirty steps away from the Yishi Army formation, the trumpet sounded violently.

The gunners who were busy in front of them immediately threw down their things. Anyway, the gunpowder had not been brought over, and there was nothing to throw away except those bronze cannons.

The sound of the horn was about to fall, and the gunners who had been practicing hundreds of times went to the spearman to squat like a rotating water wheel mill.

The spearmen around him shouted loudly under the increasingly sharp drum beat, and slowly walked towards the Qi army rushing towards him with their spears.

The musketeers who retreated to the back and continued to load were allowed to shoot freely. At such a short distance, even the musketeers who retreated from the first row still did not complete the loading.

In front of the eight bronze cannons that had not yet been deployed here, the more than 40 surviving Qiren were full of excitement. Half of their partners died, and half of the scammers behind them ran away, but they finally approached the cannons.

A dozen steps opposite, the spearman of the righteous master was moving forward, slowly and powerfully.

These Qi people knew that they were not opponents of those spearmen, and they also knew that if they delayed a little more here, they might be shot to death by muskets, so they only wanted to destroy these cannons quickly.

However, the few who were approaching first, who had ruthless soldiers slashed at the bronze cannons with swords. These bronze cannons, which were often criticized by artillery soldiers for not being strong enough, were surprisingly hard under the sword.

After a few swords, the cannon was fine at all, but the bronze sword of several people was broken.

With just a few swords, the Mo family's spearmen were approaching and were about to fight. These soldiers desperately held the broken sword and slashed the bronze cannon like crazy, as if they could not see the tips of the spears that advanced.

Cut to the end, sit on the ground in despair, letting the spear thrust across the chest.

When he was dying, a sergeant scolded loudly: "How can we destroy this?"

The shouting made a gunner from a charity division not far away hear it. The gunner felt a little strange, thinking that this was a very simple thing... He remembered that when he was learning to activate the cannon, the officers said: only an iron wedge is needed to insert it into the fire door and smash it with a hammer.

Either the fire door is blocked; or the wedge will rise near the fire door and cannot be seen or the cracks can be seen after the explosion...
