Dominate the Country

One by one, the muskets flashed with cold light, one by one, the iron helmets shone with metallic luster, and one by one, the breastplates shone with metallic luster. When the musketeers of the two battalions stood still and raised their musketeers, the Qing army's musketeers in front of them only felt an overwhelming momentum that was overwhelming.

Long before the sound of the cannons, the Qing soldiers had taken away the sharpness of the iron armor of the Chen family army. When the artillery battle started, the two short but very effective artillery attacks of the Chen family army made the Qing army's musketeers tremble with fear. When the musketeers of the two battalions of the Chen family army stopped neatly at a distance of forty or fifty steps, which made the Qing soldiers' musketeers quite embarrassed, the Qing army's musketeers became even more restless.

With the piercing whistle, thousands of lead bullets swept the entire front of the Qing army like a storm, and the musketeers in the front row were undoubtedly miserable. Even if the Chen family army only had a hit rate of 15% to 20%, the Qing army's musketeers would fall one or two hundred. Almost at the same time, the Qing army's musketeers, unable to bear the pressure, fired their matchlocks. It was hard to believe how much damage the chaotic gunfire could cause to the Chen family army.

The thick smoke covered both teams, and even with the wind, it could not quickly blow away the smoke.

Whether it was the Qing army or the Chen family army, they all watched the contest between the musketeers on both sides with bated breath.

Chen Ming's eyes were full of confidence, and the "feeling" in his heart told him that the Qing army's musketeers were panicked and had low morale. The Chen family army's musketeers were in high spirits and excited.

They were much smaller in number, like a raging fire, burning a pile of straw with the Qing flag on the opposite side. There were a lot of straws, but they were all slag in the face of the flames.

The first two rows of the Qing army suffered heavy casualties, and before they could really organize a decent volley, the Chen family army musketeers who had finished reloading fired a second round of neat volleys.

This time it was no longer a three-row volley, but a row after row of shooting, and the tactics had changed to standard volleys.

The Qing army suffered another heavy blow, and more importantly, the Qing army musketeers who were nervously reloading became even more nervous. I don’t know how many people’s hands trembled and the lead bullets fell off. In other words, the musketeers now had no intention of fiddling with the musketeers, they just wanted to escape. ,

Corpses fell to the ground one by one, and the injured Qing soldiers screamed and struggled. They shed streams of blood, dyeing the land below red, making the weeds and wild flowers more beautiful.

There were almost no musketeers in the front row who could stand. After three consecutive volleys, the Qing army’s sequence was already in chaos. Moreover, the sniper team was still shooting the officers in the ranks in a planned manner. Even the artillerymen sandwiched between the musketeer ranks were knocked down by the musketeer battalion's bullets.

"Boom boom boom..." At this moment, the artillery battalion fired the third round of artillery fire like a god's assist.

"Order the musketeer battalion, put on the bayonets, charge——"

Chen Ming punched his palm. The third artillery battalion's artillery battalion came at the right time.

"Woo woo woo..."

When the loud charge horn sounded, a low horn made all the troops of the Chen family army stand up straight. They knew that they would also be involved in the attack soon.

"Charge..."

One by one, the musketeers put on their bayonets and pounced on the musketeers in the chaos like tigers, struggling to retreat or not. They didn't have waist knives, they only had bayonets, and the sharp sword-shaped bayonets could definitely pierce the body of any Qing soldier easily. The fighting power of the Chen family army musketeers wearing breastplates in hand-to-hand combat is definitely beyond the imagination of the Qing army's musketeers.

As a time traveler, how could Chen Ming not know how important bayonet fighting is to the army of this era? For the musketeers of the 18th century, bayonet fighting is a technique and tactic that is no less important than their volley shooting.

With red flags waving and the sound of the passionate charge, the musketeers had not yet made any contact with the Qing army's musketeers, and the Qing army's musketeers, who had at least 1,500 to 1,600 men and horses, screamed and ran away. They threw heavy muskets on the ground at will, and even had fuses, gunpowder cans, lead bullet cans, and even waist knives. The fleeing Qing army musketeers wanted to discard all the bits and pieces on their bodies so that they could "turn in" lightly.

"Charge, charge..."

The two armored battalions stepped forward quickly, and the long spearmen held their long spears and jogged forward. Before, in order to engage in the battle, the musketeers advanced three or four hundred steps, which became the biggest obstacle for the subsequent deployment of Chen's army.

No matter how lively the two armored camps were, no matter whether thousands of people wanted to rush into the defeated Qing soldiers with one step, and follow the fleeing Qing army musketeers to directly roll back the entire Qing army formation. In order to save their energy, they now have to jog.

Just like Chen Ming's central army that started to move forward, they tried to save their energy to enter the battle.

"Tiger!" The last call resounded through the formation of Chen's army, and the drums in the back beat out dense drum beats of fighting.

The distance of dozens of steps disappeared under the charge of the musketeers, and the defenseless backs of the Qing army musketeers were right in front of them.

"Pfft..." The muffled sound of a bayonet piercing through the flesh came. I don't know how many Qing soldiers screamed at this moment, and how many Qing soldiers fell to their knees. But where does Chen Jiajun have time to take prisoners? If you encounter someone with good intentions, just go over or kick him down and say, "Just stay there." But if you encounter someone who has a grudge against the government, or if you have murderous intentions in your heart, then just stab him with a knife without hesitation. If you go down, surrendering will mean death. Or if you hit someone with the butt of a musket, whether you can survive depends on your luck.

The formation of the Qing soldiers was in chaos. They followed the formation of shotgun soldiers and ran backwards in the same pattern. Their swords, guns and shields were thrown all over the floor. Then came another part of the shotgun soldiers. They didn't know how to use the shotguns in their hands to resist. , or face difficulties fearlessly.

Wang Tenglong closed his eyes in despair. This battle is over, the 8,000 Shaanxi soldiers are over, and I will be over too.

"Junmen, let's go." The cronies around Wang Tenglong shouted anxiously.

The 7,000-strong military formation looks like a sea of ​​people, but the formation is now defeated. As long as the Chen family's army follows the defeated troops and sweeps in, it won't take long to reach the high platform.

"Leave? Where else can I go?" I don't know how many of the 8,000 Shaanxi soldiers will escape back to Luoyang after this defeat. Even if I go back, I will inevitably be questioned. It is better to die on the battlefield. For the sake of their loyalty, the imperial court could be more lenient to their descendants.

"Your Majesty, you are totally wrong if you think so." The confidant understood Wang Tenglong's thoughts and urged anxiously: "My 8,000 Shaanxi soldiers were completely defeated by the Chen family's thieves. How can the soldiers of Henan, Anhui, and Hubei be defeated?" How capable are you?”

"At that time, they will inevitably suffer a big defeat. With the governor and generals on top, even if the military gate suffers temporarily, can the court really kill the military gate? As long as they are alive, they will be able to make a comeback in the future." Chen Jiajun Astonishingly able to arm four to five thousand soldiers, this chaos will not be suppressed easily.
