Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Ninety steps is not the best distance for a short-distance charge. These old peasant soldiers understand this truth.But in the current situation, we have to rush, no one can bear to be beaten for nothing!So the soldiers of the Peasant Army let out heart-piercing howls, raised their weapons, and rushed towards the officers and soldiers dozens of steps away.

Then there was the second round of salvo and the third round of salvo. Although the soldiers of the peasant army stood loosely.But the front and rear queues are still quite tight.It took a few steps to rush up, the first three rows.Even the soldiers in the fourth row were knocked to the ground by the firecrackers.

But the footsteps of these veterans did not stop at all, they continued to rush forward.You can't hesitate at this time!The firearms of the officers and soldiers are sharp, so if this side is a step slower, the officers and soldiers will have an extra chance to reload ammunition, and one more brother will die here!

Unexpectedly, when the three rounds of volleys were completed, the gunners of the Runing Army stopped firing.Ma Shouying behind them couldn't see the movements of the gunners of the Runing Army clearly due to the smoke generated when the gunfire was fired.But they didn't feel rejoicing in the slightest. Instead, they felt apprehensive, feeling that the officers and soldiers on the opposite side still had some tricks to use.

But the peasant army who charged didn't care about it, and no longer faced the metal storm, so why not take the opportunity to run a few more steps and face the officers and soldiers in hand-to-hand combat as soon as possible.The feeling of being beaten passively was simply too aggrieved.

In fact, those in the Peasant Army didn't pay attention. Although the guns of the Runing Army were firing in bursts, the gunners who fired the guns did not change at all.There are two assistants behind every gunner who shoots. Those assistants carry several guns on their backs, and they keep handing over the loaded guns to the shooter.

The infantry regiment of the Teaching Legion has a relatively high rate of gunfire equipment, and each regiment has 70 gunners.So now there are nearly [-] shooters in the Runing Army. After three salvos, all the bullets in the two hundred heavy-duty guns were fired.

And the pause after three salvos.It's not that there are no firecrackers, more than 600 medium-sized firecrackers from the cavalry regiment have also been handed over to the firecracker assistants, just because the range is too short, so they are all waiting for the peasant army to get closer.

When the charging peasant soldiers charged fifty paces in, the sound of musket fire rang out again.But this time the shooting was quite intensive. Nine rounds were fired in a row, knocking down all the peasant army who rushed into the range at once.

As soon as the shooting was over, the gunners didn't load the ammunition, and ran back directly.But the surviving peasant army stayed on the battlefield, not daring to move forward and enter the death zone ahead.

"Run! The official dog is out of bullets." Yang Chengzu, who was still in command, could see clearly.The soldiers around him immediately drove the peasant army in the back row forward.And some experienced veterans of the Peasant Army in front finally had the courage to charge forward.

Although he has joined the death charge, he can see whether he has experience or not at this time.Experienced veterans will suppress their speed when charging, and try to hide back as flexibly as possible, so as not to let themselves come to the first few rows with the highest death rate.But when they found the gunners of the Runing Army running back, they immediately rushed to the phalanx of the Runing Army.

But I didn't run a few steps.Those veterans felt that something was wrong.The firecrackers on the opposite side had behind them roaring peasant soldiers rushing forward.But they didn't panic at all.Calmly ran back from the gap in the infantry phalanx to the back of the phalanx.

This calm look made some veterans a little pessimistic: "It seems that I will confess here today." But this state has no way to stop, they can only rush to the phalanx of the Runing Army as quickly as possible.

At this time, the cavalry of the Runing Army waited four or five hundred steps behind the two sides of the phalanx, and all the cavalry dismounted except Li Sanhe and a few other officers.Some are still feeding their war horses, and it doesn't look like they are going to participate in the battle.

In fact, it was because of the night attack that the horse's physical strength was exhausted.The cavalry of the Runing Army cannot rashly put cavalry into battle.Otherwise, sprint a few more times.These war horses are going to be scrapped.

When the soldiers of the Peasant Army charged another forty paces, the head of the infantry regiment standing on the right front of the phalanx raised the ax and gun in his hand high, and the soldiers behind him immediately blew in unison. brass whistle.

With the sound of the copper whistle, the soldiers of the Runing Army who had raised their spears in the first few rows immediately lowered their spears.They all have their left foot in front, leaning forward slightly, while their right foot is behind them, and their strides are not large, but their left foot is always in front, and they just move forward slowly with pauses, but such a posture It is convenient to exert force and resist the opponent at any time.

Seeing that the formations of the two armies were about to collide, Ma Shouying and the others behind them clenched their fists in unison.To be honest, they were really a little afraid of the powerful firearms of the Runing Army.Being beaten to death at a distance by the enemy before contact with the enemy, no matter what, this makes people feel unwilling and angry.

But the peasant army is not afraid of hand-to-hand combat.I don't know how many times this kind of fighting has been fought with other officers and soldiers of Ming Dynasty. The peasant army dared to fight hard, but the officers and soldiers didn't have this awareness.

But the veterans of the Peasant Army who rushed to the front were a little bit chilled.They found that although the expressions and eyes of the soldiers on the other side did not have the fanaticism of the peasant army, they had the same firmness, and some even gave off a bloodthirsty light.But it's already face to face, it's life or death.

The two sides collided violently. At this moment, the shouts of killing and screams rose simultaneously. Facing the long spears raised forward, the peasant soldiers running in the front could not dodge at all. They could only If you hit it hard with your own flesh and blood, even if you are afraid of the gun forest on the opposite side and want to retreat, you will be squeezed by the people behind you.

Moreover, the equipment of the Peasant Army did not work at all.Most of these veterans have cotton and leather armor seized from the Ming army.But these cotton armor and leather armor can't resist the puncture of the spear.

The soldiers of the Peasant Army also had long spears in their hands, but they were far from long enough, and a few nimbly rushed into the gap between the long spears. , but was stabbed by the second row and the third row of spears.

So the peasant army's charge was like huge waves, but the phalanx of the Runing army was like a reef in the huge waves. No matter how the waves beat against the sky, they would eventually smash into pieces on the reef. (To be continued..)
