Chapter 302

Looking at the scene of 50 people vs. 500 people in the distance, no matter chief junaruska or high priest bakaluzu or bone spear, their faces showed incredible expression.

In particular, the 500 soldiers selected from the four guard tribes were all armed with one inch thick wooden shields.

This is a training method proposed by Shi Xiong. The rules are very simple. The 50 Musketeers brought by Shi Xiong act as the defensive side, and then the 500 soldiers selected from the four guard tribes act as the offensive side.

Well, these 500 soldiers must attack directly in front of the firegun array within a certain range, rather than spread out from all directions.

That would be unfair to the 50 Musketeers.

Fifty Musketeers use Musketeers, and the 500 soldiers will hold heavy wooden shields to ensure their safety. However, when they attack, as long as there are bullet marks on the wooden shields, they must retreat.

Wooden shield is about the same size as a person. Once wooden shield is shot, it means that people behind wooden shield will also be shot.

In view of the fact that the maximum range of the bow and arrow carried by these 500 soldiers is only about 120 steps, as long as these 500 soldiers are within 120 steps of the 50 Musketeers, they will win. On the contrary, 50 Musketeers win.

Except for the stone bear and the 50 Musketeers, all the people at the scene didn't think that the 500 elite soldiers broke through less than 120 steps.

When the bugle sounded, five hundred soldiers with big wooden shields, like torrents, began to charge with heavy wooden shields.

Of course, the range of their charge is limited to 50 meters, and the distance starts from 300 steps.

And the 50 Musketeers who are opposite to them seem to be so weak.

However, when the 500 soldiers rushed into the range of about 260 steps, that is, about 180 meters, holding high their wooden shields, Shi Xiong, as the temporary commander, cried out: "four platoons shoot in turn! First row, let's go

With the roar of gunfire, the first row of 12 soldiers completed the firing, this small position was immediately covered with smoke.

In the front row of the 500 soldiers who were charging, four soldiers stopped for a moment. Then they looked at their shields and ran to one side sullenly.

Obviously, the twelve shots hit four soldiers' wooden shields. According to the regulations, the four soldiers who were hit with wooden shields must withdraw from the battlefield. Their wooden shield was shot, which means they have been shot. If it had not been for the wooden shield in their hands, they might have died under the muskets.

For this kind of hit rate, stone bear is still very dissatisfied.

It's not nice to say that the group of soldiers in front of Wu Yang's charge should have hit with their eyes closed, but now the hit rate is only 30%. It's really a bit unreasonable.

However, there was no way to reprimand him at this time. In a short time, the enemy charged forward for more than ten steps.

"Second row, let's go!"

With the stone bear's order, the second platoon of musketeers fired the Musketeers in their hands. At the next moment, six more of the charging "enemy" left the team.

"Third row, let's go!"

"Fourth row, let's go!"

"First row, let's go!"

......

With the stone bear's rhythmic command, the "enemy" soon broke through to within 140 meters. However, after entering this range, the firing rate of the riflemen was even higher, and at least ten "enemy troops" left the charging team in almost every round of firing.

Because of the limitation of loading speed, the riflemen can only maintain the maximum loading speed of seven rounds per minute. But even so, the distance from 300 steps to 200 steps, that is, 140 meters, is enough for the riflemen to shoot at least five rounds per person.

Each of the 50 Musketeers fired five rounds, that is 250 shots. If the average hit rate is 50%, 125 "enemy troops" withdrew from the charge.

Within the range of 200 to 120 steps, the firing rate of the riflemen has almost reached 100%. Almost every time a shot is fired, more than 10 "enemy troops" will withdraw from the charge group.

Finally, although the "enemy" armed with wooden shield finally rushed into 120 steps, the remaining people were less than half of the 500.

Once this distance is reached, Musketeers can no longer use Musketeers.

As soon as these riflemen put their rifles aside, they took out the iron bow on their back. Then, almost in the blink of an eye, fifty arrows with steel arrows soared into the air.

Just as the first batch of arrows had not fallen completely, the second batch was ready.

Compared with muskets, the speed of bows and arrows is undoubtedly much faster. It only takes three seconds at most to complete a cycle from bowing to shooting and then to the second bowing.

Then, the wooden shields in the hands of the remaining soldiers in the "enemy" were immediately nailed with dense arrows.

This is because these "enemies" have not put down their wooden shields. If they put down their wooden shields and attack with bows and arrows at this time, the remaining 200 "enemies" will be shot and killed immediately by these waves of arrows.

That is to say, even if the "enemy" carries a wooden shield into 120 steps, that is, within 80 meters, they have little chance to cause damage to the riflemen. Musketeers fire with Musketeers in a long distance. Once the enemy breaks into a certain range, the bow and arrow on their back will become the most lethal weapon.

This situation made chief junaluska and several of their tribal leaders look pale.

Bone spear said in a low voice: "chief, it's really hard for the guard's firemen to defeat. Don't forget that our soldiers have shields in their hands. If our soldiers don't have shields in their hands, they will kill or injure one or two hundred people just when they charge ahead. And once our team suddenly killed and injured one or two hundred people, the team will collapse immediately! "

Chief junaluska nodded in deep agreement.

He knew it was just an exercise. The five hundred soldiers had no scruples for holding shields. If they were on a real battlefield, these 500 soldiers would not have so many shields to use.

But once we lose the shelter of the wooden shield, if only 200 casualties occur in these 500 people's team, then the battle will not be able to be fought at all. Because as long as there is such a high number of casualties, then the enemy does not have to shoot, and our team will collapse first.

No matter how elite the team is, it can't stand such a high casualty rate!

Although he was reluctant to admit defeat, chief junaluska also had to admit that 50 to 500, this seemingly unfair fight was won by the 50 riflemen!
