Chapter 349

Thump, thump!

On the noisy battlefield, accompanied by bursts of bean popping sound, white smoke came out of the formation of the Chinese army, and the charging Tianxiong army was constantly falling.

The four thousand Chinese troops in the front were divided into five rows, with 800 people in each row, alternating with each other. One row after another, bullets shot forward like an endless stream.

The new type of flint gun can be fired twice a minute on average. In just one round, the 5000 Tianxiong army fell nearly 1000 people, and the front team is still 20 steps away from the Chinese army.

But this short 20 steps has become an insurmountable natural moat, because the first row has been filled again and shot.

Although the Tianxiong army behind is also shooting down many Chinese troops, every time a Chinese Army falls, the people in the back will make up for it.

Bang Bang

With the second round of firing of the Chinese army in turn, more Tianxiong troops were shot and fell to the ground. Nearly 2000 people fell. The rest could no longer resist their inner fear, lost their weapons and ran back frantically.

If the Tianxiong army rushes up in a swarm, I'm afraid it has already rushed forward before the second round of muskets have been fired, but in order to maintain the formation, it is doomed that the speed of charging will not be fast.

Qin Huan was also sweating.

He didn't expect that the fighting will of Tianxiong army was so high that it didn't collapse under the first round of firing.

Fortunately, the second round was picked up in time, but there was still a pause for a few seconds, which made Qin Huan realize that even the five platoons could not be connected seamlessly on the battlefield.

During the training, after the firing of the fifth row, the first row is basically loaded again. It can raise the gun and shoot immediately, but the action on the battlefield is obviously slow.

Lu Xiangsheng, who watched the war behind, had long been numb.

Although he was prepared, he found that he had underestimated the power of this fire gun wheel row shooting.

Looking at the collapsed soldiers and bodies all over the ground, Lu Xiangsheng's view of war was completely subverted at this moment.

Before the two sides came into contact, the Chinese army killed and wounded two or three thousand of him with only the fire gun in their hands. More than half of the 5000 people and horses were injured, while the other side just fell to the ground with an arrow.

For the first time, Lu Xiangsheng re recognized the great role of firearms. In this continuous shooting, no army can rush forward.

Because no army can still have the courage to charge in the case of more than half of the casualties. His Tianxiong army can't do it, nor can JianNu. He believes that the Chinese army can't do the same.

"Supervisor..."

Deputy General Liu looked at Lu Xiangsheng with a pale face. He was obviously frightened by the scene just now.

"Retreat!"

Looking at the tens of thousands of troops that have circuitously returned to the left and right wings, Lu Xiangsheng did not let the two phalanxes launch an attack from the flank, because according to the situation just now, the attack was to hit the stone with an egg, and finally he had no choice but to give orders to his men.

Although unwilling to accept it, he had to admit that if it didn't rain, even if he doubled his troops, he still couldn't change the fact that he couldn't defeat this pure firearm Chinese army in the field.

Perhaps only an army equipped with artillery and a large number of cavalry can try.

As the flag was waved, the two squares on the left and right wings began to retreat slowly. As for the 2000 troops who retreated from the front, they had long been like mad dogs, and Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to close them up.

In fact, Lu Xiangsheng wanted to know how the other party pursued them after they retreated, whether they rushed up in a swarm, or whether they were still in line and advancing slowly.

A swarm of people rushed up. He was not afraid at all. He lined up to advance, not to mention worrying. He could never catch up.

Qin Huan expected that the other side would retreat. He knew he was going to die and would continue to hit the muzzle of the gun. I'm afraid no fool would do such a stupid thing.

"Send orders down and press them on me in units of flags."

Suddenly, the sound of war drums changed, 10000 Chinese troops quickly separated, formed 20 small squares again, and caught up.

The chase lasted for an hour. Under the command of Lu Xiangsheng, the 10000 Tianxiong army always maintained two large squares moving backward, while the 20 small squares of the Chinese Army gradually formed a semicircle.

No way, the larger the formation, the slower the movement. Compared with the large square array of 5000 people of Tianxiong army, the speed of the small square array of 500 people of Chinese army is twice as fast.

"Commander, I'm afraid I can't go on like this. It's estimated that the other party's fire gun will reach the range before dark!"

Deputy General Liu became more and more worried when he saw that the nearest small square array was less than a hundred feet away, and the small square arrays on the left and right wings were almost equal to them.

Lu Xiangsheng frowned. He didn't understand how Qin Huan commanded. He commanded two large squares and was able to maintain a general formation.

But Qin Huan commanded 20 small squares at the same time. He could not only maintain the formation, twice as fast as them, but also roundabout. It was incredible.

However, he also knows that he can't delay any more. If he delays any more, he may be surrounded by the other party. At that time, none of them will be able to leave.

Only reluctantly ordered: "send orders, and the thousand generals will retreat separately!"

In fact, tens of thousands of Tianxiong troops have long been as anxious as ants on a hot pot. Looking at the thief army getting closer and closer, they are still slow. If it weren't for the usual strict training and the great prestige of Lu Xiangsheng, I'm afraid they would have scattered and fled long ago.

Therefore, after receiving the order, the general managers were relieved and accelerated with their more than 1000 people.

With this acceleration, the inevitable team became chaotic, and Lu Xiangsheng completely lost control of the army.

Because his flag can only command the battalions. When everyone holds it together, he can effectively command. Once thousands of people retreat, he can only obey his fate.

"Ha ha, can't you hold on at last?"

"Send orders, each flag will fight its own way and pursue quickly!"

Seeing that the Tianxiong army was finally forced to retreat separately, Qin Huan immediately laughed and shouted.

There was no way. If the other party didn't separate, he didn't dare to chase and kill like this. Even the distance between the flags didn't dare to open too far.

However, I still admire Lu Xiangsheng. He was able to command tens of thousands of troops to maintain formation and withdraw for a full hour. Although this hour only withdrew less than five miles, it is very rare.

After the flags accelerated, they soon caught up with the Tianxiong army and put their guns forward with rows and rows.

When the Tianxiong army was knocked down by the fire gun, the thousands of teams could no longer maintain order. They spread their feet one by one, ten by ten, and finally turned into a big collapse.

"Kill!"

And ten thousand Chinese soldiers also took bayonets one after another. Without any worry, they pursued and killed them crazily.

After a slow stalemate between the two armies for more than an hour, they finally grazed all the sheep.
