In front of a simple pontoon bridge, both companies that were pioneers had already installed short spears, and they had to deal with possible emergencies after crossing the river.

The main purpose is to guard against the dispersed formation of some swordsmen in the Qi army, and to gain time for the subsequent company formation.

The four companies following them did not have short spears, because that would greatly affect the speed of loading.

The company representatives took the lead and crossed the river first. Before the two companies crossed the river were well formed, some martial artists who were good at fighting alone rushed over in loose formations with the intention of harassing them.

Originally, the cavalry had to drive them away, but the cavalry could not be deployed in such a small place. The two cavalry companies that crossed the river first were fighting against the cavalry of the Qi army on the flanks.

The company that crossed the river first, led by the company representative, immediately organized a counterattack to cover the engineers who were still digging holes and the subsequent troops on the pontoon bridge.

Sima Qiong had already walked to the center of the bridge. Their company had to line up on the north side of the bridge, so they were ranked fifth to cross the river.

The third and fourth companies crossing the river must immediately complete the team after crossing the river, pushing forward about 60 steps, allowing space to facilitate the subsequent troops to complete the team.

At this time, a Qi army shell landed near the floating bridge, and a partner next to Sima Qiong was shocked to the river.

Sima Qiong was about to stop and look at his partner, but the person behind him shouted: "Go quickly, don't stop."

The person behind pushed him, and Sima Qiong was pushed forward and had no way to stop.

I took advantage of the gap and looked back. The friend seemed to be fine. He climbed up the river after a few strokes, but the gun and gunpowder were wet.

This may not be a bad thing. In this way, when he is arranged in a while, he will not need to be in the first row.

When their company crossed the river, the two companies that first crossed the river had already driven away the scattered soldiers on the opposite side with their short spears inserted in the musket and were retreating backwards.

Sima Qiong observed the situation around him, and his body mechanically followed the drum beats and the officer's command and turned to the right.

After the column marched to the established position, it stood firm and turned directly into a horizontal lineup.

"Rise the gun!"

After standing firmly, the officer's order was issued.

He raised the flint gun in his hand, took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and pointed it at the front.

Perhaps the column was turning horizontally too fast, and the Qi army on the opposite side had a significantly slower reaction.

On the front of Sima Qiong's company, a formation of Qi army soon appeared, using very standard practice methods and formation combinations of the Mo family during the Qi-Mo War.

Unlike Han and Wei's heavy step formation, Han and Wei's heavy step formation is difficult to attack because the square formation is too thick and the formation is whole, which is both difficult to attack and difficult to attack.

The thickness of the formation determines that Wei Han's step formation wants to widen the front, so he can only use the staggered character array and unfold one in front and one behind.

The military system of Qi State was exactly the same as that of the Mohist system during the Qi-Mo War, and the front line was wider and thinner.

The musketeer is on both sides, the spearmen is in the middle, the musketeer shoots alternately, and the spearmen moves slowly.

If this formation is fought on the plain, it requires strong cavalry cooperation, otherwise it will be easily broken through or torn apart by the cavalry. However, the terrain here is slightly narrow and it is difficult for the Mohist cavalry to unfold.

With drums sounds, Sima Qiong stared at the Qi army formation opposite, and his friends whispered: "After fighting, there will be smoke everywhere, and you can't see anything."

Sima Qiong was not tilted and replied in a low voice: "That's not better, you don't have to always look at the opposite side if you load."

While the two of them muttered, the company commander ordered: "Prepare for the first two columns!"

At this time, the Qi army was about a hundred steps away from here, and the copper cannon behind the river bank had already started to bombard, but the effect was not good.

The front line is very thin, and cavalry is prone to break through, but it is not so easy to cause effective damage to artillery.

The drum sound of Qi army was already very close. At about eighty steps, the musketeers of Qi began to shoot.

The company here did not choose to get close before shooting.

The friend who was chatting with Sima Qiong just now had a bad life and was hit by Qi Jun's lead bullet. The person who was still alive and able to chat was gone in an instant.

The soldiers in the back row subconsciously took a step forward and filled the vacant position.

"First two rows! Shoot!"

After the company commander's order was issued, each Sima commander repeated it. Sima Qiong didn't bother to lament the tragic tragedy of life on the battlefield and squirted the musket.

Bang……

The sparks cut out from the accumulated leaf spring ignited gunpowder, and the pungent smoke filled my eyes. There was no way to see how many Qi Jun on the opposite side were hit.

After firing the gun, Sima Qiong subconsciously squatted down with the drum beat. After the two rows of soldiers behind fired, he stood up again.

Take out the paper bag of gunpowder from your waist and put the lead bullet in your mouth according to Cao Dian. Because if you don’t do this, someone will always nervously stuff the lead bullet in first, resulting in only eyes that you can see the whole battle.

Lead has a strange sweet and fishy smell, and Sima Qiong has long been used to it.

Tear the paper-packed gunpowder into the gun chamber, pound it with a strip, press the lead bullet, and then put the lead into the pot...

Countless trainings have made these movements a mechanical reaction, just like those hired workers working in workshops, and they can even complete these movements until their heads are still drowsy and sleepy.

When loading, two screams came from his ears, and two other people in the same company were hit by the musketeers of Qi State and fell to the ground.

A man was very close to Sima Qiong, and blood was directly sprayed on his eyes.

He just stretched out his hand and wiped his eyes to avoid blurring his vision. He turned his head and confirmed who was hit, and then continued to load.

The officers would not pay attention to whether everyone had loaded it, but would order the shooting within the prescribed time.

If you don’t load or pretend to load, it will harm yourself. The reason why you can defeat your life with Mojia power is that if you don’t shoot the enemy, one more person will likely hit you.

Sima Qiong didn't need to know whether Qi army was preparing to charge at this time, or shooting at the same time.

This is something that the officer needs to observe in order to issue different orders.

All he had to do was to give up some of his own ideas, including fear, fear, worry, wisdom, guesswork, judgment, etc., and be a person like a puppet. The drum beats and the commands of the officers were the lifting line behind the puppet.

All he needs to know is to understand and execute commands such as moving forward, spear, loading, squatting, shooting, turning, turning, and turning, and put it into action.

On this battlefield, everyone is equal, and the Mohist meaning of equality is fully demonstrated on this battlefield.

Whether you are a farmer who has been recruited for three months, a taxi who has been trained in a fief since childhood, a noble doctor who has read poetry and books, or a young man who likes astronomical stars... you will be equal in front of lead bullets.

Warriors who have been born since childhood will not shoot faster than farmers who have been three months old; doctors who are well-read in poetry will not avoid lead bullets more easily than illiterate peasants.

There is no such thing as a challenge in the world. In fact, the nobles in the Gentleman Army of the Battle of Mo Yue drove to challenge in the army, which was already the last glory of the nobles' bravery.

Many years passed that battle, breaking the pride of the nobles and breaking the backbone of the nobles - when a professional warrior class no longer has the ability to fight against ten, their existence is just a worm, and the worm is destined to have no place in the world.

Just like Qi State, the nobles today no longer drove unparalleled tactics in the strokes in chariots, but instead shrank into the array to maintain discipline and formation.

The military system of Si Shang was close to the Qi system rather than the Zhou system. There were 200 people in Qi State, while the Si Shang State had 150 people in one hundred people.

But this time, Qi State lost more when shooting at 80 steps apart.

The most dense spearmen were hit, while fewer of the convex gunmen who needed to be at least one person apart died.

Sima Qiong's company was injured and killed six times in this shooting, and the Qi army on the opposite side suffered 27 casualties. The density of the muskets and the density of the formation determined the result of this shooting.

After shooting at the target, the spearmen of Qi's army were already a little confused and their speed of advance slowed down significantly.

But the nobles in the army restrained them from reorganizing their troops and moving forward.

When they were fifty steps apart, Sima Qiong and others had already loaded up, but the officer did not issue an order to shoot.

The Qi army opposite has also been loaded.

A breeze blew, clearing the smoke in front of the position. Sima Qiong held up the loaded musket and stared at the Qi Jungle Gunner who had also been loaded on the opposite side, quietly waiting for the order.

But what he waited for was the order of the short spear.

At fifty steps, the distance was so close that you could see the beard on Qi Jun's face opposite.

Sima Qiong looked at a musketman opposite him who had already pressed the fuse. Without any extra distractions in his mind, he pulled out the short spear at his waist and put it on the musket under the aim of the fuse gun on the opposite side.

For example, those criminals who were about to be executed for a felony crime, the enemy who was forty steps away had raised the musket, but there was no order on this side that could do nothing.

Everyone knows that the company commander's order means that he and his partners need to endure a shooting from the opposite side silently.

You can't complain, you can't panic, you can't fight back without obeying orders.

We must wait for the judgment of fate like a pig and sheep tied up to be slaughtered.

Victory belongs to the company, and waiting means victory.

But life and death belong to individuals, and waiting also means that individuals may not see victory.

Sima Qiong saw the musketeer on the opposite side move his arms, and then he felt his mind turn gray and his chest is extremely dull.

Just like every person with bad luck, a heavy lead bullet hit his chest with rhinoceros armor, which could not block the lead bullet.

He fell backwards, trying to cover his chest with his hands, but he couldn't lift it up at all.

The people behind did not help him, but let him fall down and then took a step forward to make up for his position.

Before his death, Sima Qiong felt that his friends around him looked at him, but seemed to have an illusion that they didn't look at him at all.

The shooting that caused Sima Qiong's death was the last shot of the Qi army company opposite.

After this shooting, the mezzanine will continue to be reloaded, and the spearmen will continue to advance after this shot.

When we reach the distance of thirty steps, the mezzanines on both sides have some time to complete the loading.

The Mo family soldiers who had silently endured the previous shooting like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered finally heard the order of the company commander and Sima Chief to let them shoot.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief, and the veterans knew that shooting now meant they would likely survive this short battle.

So many people finally felt in the mood to mourn the fallen comrades, silently grief, and then pulled the trigger.

By the long river, hundreds of people stood firm and shot at the distance where they could almost see the beards of the enemy opposite.

Seeing that his fellow comrades and fellow villagers had their heads broken by lead bullets, who could keep his hands calm and not shake, and witnessed the opponent's efforts to reload but could wipe away blood and lower his head without being distracted. Listening to the voice of the opponent, who could resist the urge to pull the trigger without following the order, who would win.

Zhuang Zhou, later generations Zhuang Zi, said that Ji Qizi raised a fighter cock for the king. Ten days later asked, "Is the chicken?" and said, "We are so weak that we are so angry that we rely on our energy." Ten days later asked, "We are so angry that we should still face the scenery." Ten days later asked, "We are so angry that we still look at each other and have a strong energy." Ten days later asked, "It's so long. Although the chicken crows, there is no change. Looking at it, it looks like a wooden chicken, and its virtue is complete. If the chicken is different, it will leave instead."
