Four infantry companies unfolded under the hills, and none of the iron bullets flew over their heads, which made the six hundred infantry quite uncomfortable.

The Mo man in the front row or the Mo man from time to time, just to get double the over-service subsidy, whispered: "I haven't fought a battle without artillery cover."

They were indeed a little uncomfortable, and the officers had just told them that the coalition infantry was behind the hill, and once they climbed the hill, the coalition infantry would have to fight back.

So they all inserted their short spears under the muzzle early, and the coalition's hot and cold weapons were mixed, and there was a large number of spearmen.

The disgusting thing about this kind of back-slanting formation is that it plays out its strengths and avoids its weaknesses, so that the coalition forces are protected from the attacks of the superior artillery of the Mohist schools, and can also counterattack in a dense formation after the infantry climbs the hills.

The combat engineers will build camps after the infantry consolidates the defense on the hills, so as to facilitate artillery to unfold on it and bombard the coalition forces.

These four companies will face a real fierce battle, a fierce battle without copper cannon cover and cavalry assault.

Although these infantrymen are not sure of fighting such wars, they have been able to force the Mohist generals to fight with infantry to hedge against hand-to-hand combat so far.

The hill is not very big, not enough to spread too many troops, but it is also crucial, which forces both sides to strangle each other with tactics of adding fuel to each other.

The offensive troops close to the front line of the central army have begun to exchange fire. The two sides are about 80 steps away from each other. The coalition is not advantageous, but it is probably because of long-distance shooting, and the formation is still complete and can be kept undispersed.

The drum sound was dong, and the four companies that had the first wave of attack were sorted out and the attack began with the drum sound.

There were no enemies in front of them, at least they could not see them, but they knew that once they climbed the hill, they would face the enemy's counterattack.

Hand-to-hand combat is inevitable, and they may be the first wave of Mohist infantry facing hand-to-hand combat without being broken by artillery.

The officer with a high crown of pheasant feathers was steady in his pace, while the soldiers next to him moved forward slowly. Although the hill was not big, it was still not easy to climb up. There was no way to take big steps, so he could only choose to move forward little by little.

There is nothing to grab next to you, and the speed of traveling is very slow. If there are several coalition bronze cannons on the hill, this attack may be declared failure at this time.

But if there were several coalition bronze cannons on the hill, they would have been knocked into ruins early at this time.

The back of the hill.

The Qi army company, which was waiting for the command, was waiting for the order, and the spearmen had already lined up.

The medlet gunners were only forty steps away from the top of the hill. Once the Mo family exposed their heads on the hill, they would choose to shoot a volley, and then let the spearmen attack and cover themselves from behind.

The soldiers of Qi army were very stable. They didn't know what the overall situation was, but they knew that when the bronze cannons on the Mo family's position began to roar in the early morning, they had not been attacked by iron bombs.

This is a good sign and a means to stabilize the morale of the army.

It is difficult for the soldiers to understand the consequences of abandoning this hill and being captured by the Mohist school to launch artillery.

For them, they just need to know that they have not been hit by iron bullets now and that their companions around them have not been killed in blood.

They could not see the entire battlefield, and it was even more impossible for them to know the situation on the battlefield behind the hills.

All they can see is around them, around them, front and back.

If there are too many people around them who die within thirty steps in front and back, they will think they have lost and choose to go back and escape.

The formation of the chief general of the Qi army perfectly avoided the panic and chaos caused by this shelling, but it also put itself in danger. This hill could not give up at all. Once it gave up, it would bring about the collapse of the entire right wing.

The convex gunmen with the bracket were sweating. They could not see the other side of the hill, and could only hear the sound of the snare drums and steps of the Mo family that were getting closer and closer to each other.

They need to shoot at the moment when the Mohist family emerges, and only in this way can they ensure the suppression of the first wave of firepower.

Relying on their shooting, the dense formation of the Mohist family opened the gap so that the spearmen could carry out the counter-slope counter-shocks and drive away the first wave of the Mohist army attacking the hills.

The heavy convex gun was pressed against the wooden bracket, and Qi Jun's musketeer endured the thumping heartbeat, waiting for the last chance.

The sound of the snare drums was getting closer and closer, and the noble officers of the Qi army were also shouting orders. The smell of the fire of the fuse was a bit pissing, but the musketeers of the Qi army were still squinting their eyes and not daring to blink for a moment.

On the front of the hill, when the four Mohist companies were only twenty steps away from the top of the hill, the sound of the snare drum suddenly changed.

The company commanders shouted loudly: "Stop!"

The soldiers who were about to rush to the top of the mountain stopped, and the sound of snare drums came from behind.

Someone quietly looked back and four more infantrymen followed them about thirty steps away.

It seems that this time, the main general invested a lot of money on this hill, and deployed eight companies and nearly one brigade of infantry at one time, forming waves.

After the four companies in the front paused briefly, the officers seemed to be waiting for something. When the four companies in the back approached about twenty steps, the officer in front suddenly ordered: "Let's walk slowly!"

The soldiers of the four companies in the front didn't bother to think about the meaning of walking slowly now. There are no enemies at the top of the hill now. The officers judged that the enemy was behind the hill, so instead of waiting to climb up the hill and be attacked, it is better to walk slowly now and shoot volleys immediately after climbing to the hill and reaching the height of the hill.

After a volley, you may have to choose to charge. It is an advantage to directly attack the Mohist school. These brigades are standard pure team brigades, without a mixture of hot and cold weapons, no combination of a comb and a spearman, but simply a flint rifle that can be equipped with a short spear.

The distance between twenty steps is actually very close, but in the eyes of the soldiers of the four companies unfolding in the front row, the distance between these twenty steps is extremely depressing.

If there are enemies directly visible to the naked eye on the hill, they will not be afraid.

On the contrary, the distance between these twenty steps was very calm, and there was no shell or gunfire, and no one could be seen.

There were only a lot of corpses of the Qi army in the two companies that had defended here before. This hill became the key target of artillery bombardment in the previous half-hour. The Qi infantry of the two companies had been destroyed by the dense artillery bombardment by the Mohist family before they even joined the battle.

More than a hundred corpses were on the ground, and many people died extremely miserable because these iron bullets were solid, not explosions, but even more miserable.

Once hit, either the leg or the arm or the entire chest will be flattened. Even if you are lucky enough to die at that time, blood will soon shed.

The vanguards who were moving were quiet around them.

There was no scream. Even if the person who was shot before was not dead at that time, he shed blood for about half an hour, he would definitely not be able to survive now.

There were soft corpses under my feet from time to time. It took less than an hour to die. The corpses were still soft and not hard yet.

Some veterans could know how long this person had been dead just by the feeling of the corpse under their feet. Many of them had suppressed the local resistance forces in the South China Sea, and their hands were covered with blood.

Even if you have truly seen a veteran, you are nervous at this time.

They may have faced enemy troops in a row, and even witnessed the enemy troops who were lit up the fuse and aimed at them with their own eyes.

But at this time, it is different. There is no enemy in front of you, but everyone knows that once you step on the hill, you will definitely be hit by a intensive shooting.

This feeling is very bad, very depressing, and unbearable.

A soldier stepped on a pool of blood under his feet, tripped by the corpse's arm, and staggered for a moment. A nervous partner next to him almost hooked the trigger.

Maybe even the officer had sweat on his side.

Silence, unknown, this battlefield where it was originally shooting at each other was even more unbearable.

Twenty steps are shortened to ten steps, and ten steps are shortened to five steps.

The veterans in the front row took a deep breath and secretly prayed that the other party's first round of shooting would not hit them.

When they took the last step and finally saw the Qi army behind the hill, the noble officers of the Qi army shouted the order to shoot.

Behind the hill, the infantry of the six Qi army companies were ready for battle. Their formation was extremely complete and they had not been bombarded at all.

Nearly five hundred grenade gunmen were divided into three columns. After firing in the first column, they quickly retreated and loaded. The people in the second column immediately stepped forward to put their grenade gun on a wooden fork.

Bang bang bang bang...

With such a close-range volley, nearly one hundred infantrymen from the four companies attacking the hill in the front row immediately fell to the ground.

Qi Jun's convex gun has a larger caliber and is slow to load, but it is very powerful.

The four companies that the Mo family attacked first were killed and injured in a quarter of the attack. Four representatives of the Mo people with high pheasant feather crowns were hit by three, and only one was not injured.

One of the four companies that took the lead in the climb, the company commander and the representatives of the company Mo were all killed in battle. One company lost more than half of the money, and almost instantly, the company collapsed.

It was originally a suppressed marching. The edge line on the hill was like the line when the criminal was executed by the Si Shang. I had to go over and endure death in person.

This company was defeated in an instant and retreated in the direction of coming, while the remaining three companies stood firm.

Between the three-wheeled shooting of Qi army, the Mo family officer who ascended the hill shouted loudly, ordering the remaining three companies that had not yet collapsed to raise their guns.

Before they could see whether the fallen partners were dead or alive, the remaining three companies immediately raised their muskets, and the one behind took a step forward to fill the gap exposed in front.

The Mozhes, Sima Chief, and others in each company filled the vacancy, including the righteous men or officers who were determined to be the world.

The spearmen of the Qi army opposite had already launched an attack. This time the shooting on the back slope was very effective. The princes had not fought a battle that completely collapsed and escaped after a long time.

The most important thing on the battlefield was the situation within a few dozen steps in front of them. These spearmen of the Qi army saw the collapse of the Mo family company and saw the Mo family soldiers who climbed the hill first fell down in rows, so they were full of confidence.
