"Yes, once the musketeers form a formation and the scale increases, it will be much more terrifying than the archers!"

  "The bows and arrows of archers, armor and shields can be protected, but the projectiles of muskets can't be protected by armor and shields! It is difficult to get close to the enemy, and you must pay a lot of human life to be able to bombard the artillery, the muskets Only by shooting continuously can you get close!”

  "Nothing to say, if you want to get close to the enemy, you must lose a third of your troops!"

  "Yeah, at least one-third of the troops will be lost if you get close. The sword and shield hands of the Weihai Guards are equipped like heavy armored infantry. It is difficult to break through. It must be several times the number. Only then is it possible to break through the defense of his sword and shield hands and enter the musket formation!"

  "Don't forget, the hit rate is even more terrible when the musketeer shoots at close range!!"

  "hiss!!"

  "That said, this battle is impossible to fight at all!"

  "It's not that you can't fight, but if you want to fight, you must pay the price of a lot of casualties!"

  ""

  The more the generals talked, the horror on their faces and the color of fear became stronger, and in the end, all the generals were afraid.

  Just getting close to the enemy will damage at least one-third of the enemy's muskets and artillery! Who can afford this kind of battle damage? I'm afraid they won't be able to fight a few battles, and the strength will be enough! In addition, Gao Jie's book Just to preserve his strength, in terms of preserving his strength, Gao Jie can be ranked first! Before that, Gao Jie was always with Sun Chuanting, but now Sun Chuanting has been killed in battle, and Gao Jie! On the contrary, his strength is increasing! On the other hand, among most warlords, Gao Jie can be said to be in the top three! What kind of person is the commander, and what kind of person is his subordinates.

  Gao Jie likes to preserve his strength, and his generals also like to preserve his strength.

  It's just that Gao Jie's face is full of bitterness at this moment, he can ignore it

  The order of the Ming court dared to violate the yin and yang of Emperor Chongzhen.

  But he never dared to offend the gentry in Nanzhili! Many facts told him that the gentry in Daming belonged to the same family, and suppressing the Weihai Guards was the consensus of the gentry all over the world.

  Now, he never dared to offend the gentlemen.

  Otherwise, the world is so big that there will be no place for him! These, the generals under his command can ignore it.

  , but he, the commander-in-chief, had to consider it.

  Ma Shiying was ruthless, abandoned Huang Degong, and died in Shuyang.

  He Gao Jie, how could it be better! This battle is not... He can preserve his strength if he wants to preserve it! "Okay, don't talk about it!"

  "If not, I will deal with you all according to disturbing the morale of the army!"

  With a gloomy face, Gao Jie interrupted the conversation between his subordinates and said solemnly: "In this battle, Governor Ma means that it must be fought, and he will do whatever it takes to defend the relocation and Huaibei!"

  "I hope you can understand this!"

  "If there are those who dare to avoid the war again, the supervising team will deal with them according to the crime!"

  "Don't have any luck at all, this general soldier, personally supervise the battle!!"

  As soon as Gao Jie said these words, all the generals under his command suddenly closed their mouths tightly, and their expressions became solemn.

  It was the first time that Gao Jie was so ruthless that he wanted to fight the enemy to the end. One could imagine how much pressure was put on him by Governor Ma Shiying and Ma behind this.

  Otherwise, with Gao Jie's character, this would never be the case! "Understood, Chief General Gao!"

  All the generals nodded, saying that they would definitely urge the soldiers under their command to defend the enemy with Weihai and fight to the end.

  Behind the Weihaiwei army, on a high ground.

  Zhang Yang held up his binoculars and looked at the [-]-[-] Nanzhili Army on the opposite side. It seemed that they not only wanted to conduct a field battle with the Weihai Guards, but also took the initiative to attack. Surprisingly, he said, "The Nanzhili Army on the opposite side is truly extraordinary!"

  "How dare you not say anything about the field battle with our army, it seems that you have to take the initiative to attack!"

  Zhang Yang was surprised that the Southern Zhili Army dared to take the initiative to attack.

  The staff around him reminded: "The Nanzhili Army on the opposite side is under the command of Liu Liangzuo and Gao Jie. These two generals of the Ming Dynasty have joined Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, and they are determined to follow the gentry of Nanzhili to the end. !"

  When Zhang Yang heard this, he was suddenly stunned.

  Liu Liangzuo and Gao Jie, the two generals of the Ming Dynasty, were quite famous.

  It's just that they all have the same characteristics as the generals of the Ming Dynasty. They are greedy for life and fear death, and preserve their strength! It can even be said that these two are the best among them, only slightly inferior to Zuo Liangyu.

  However, Zuo Liangyu was a real warlord, sitting in the land of Huguang and Guangxi, with an army of [-] to [-].

  Although its army of [-] to [-] people can be called a mob.

  But among the Daming warlords, Zuo Liangyu is really at the top! He wants to preserve his strength, and almost no one can do anything to him.

  Liu Liangzuo and Gao Jie probably have Zuo Liangyu as their goal, and they really want to be a warlord like Zuo Liangyu who has troops and territory.

  It's just a pity that they don't have the opportunity of Zuo Liangyu.

  And this time the gentry who took refuge in Nanzhili attacked the Weihai Guards, I am afraid it was from the gentry of Nanzhili who saw this kind of hope.

  But these, for Zhang Yang, it's all trivial things, he doesn't care about them

  For him, since the enemy wants to fight, then fight to the end!

Chapter [-] Heading to the head

  On this Huaibei Great Plain, there is no such thing as resisting danger and defending.

  On the Southern Zhili Army's side, Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo, each dispatched [-] soldiers, a total of [-] soldiers as the vanguard, began to form a team, ready to charge a wave.

  For them, fighting in formations in the open field, when the artillery and muskets are all at a disadvantage, if they do not take the initiative to attack, I am afraid they will only be beaten passively! Without the cover of high mountains and dangerous peaks, artillery is not... So easy to block! Instead of being beaten all the time, bombarded by artillery, the army was smashed and collapsed.

  On the contrary, it is better to charge a wave! [-] soldiers are the vanguard, forming teams. Because they are afraid of being bombarded by artillery, there is a huge gap between the teams. As a result, the [-] soldiers stretch for dozens of miles. .

  Just the front line of the main battlefield stretched for dozens of miles. It is conceivable that [-] soldiers launched a charge together, what a huge scene.

  It gives the impression that there are battlefields everywhere! "Kill ah!!!"

  Hearing only one order, the roars of killing that stretched for dozens of miles sounded like thunder, and the [-] soldiers roared in unison, as if they had been beaten with blood. The main force of the Weihaiwei Second Army who confronted him was killed.

  At first, the main force of the Second Army did not respond much, just the entire team, ready to attack at all times.

  When the two armies are five hundred meters apart.

  "fire!"

  In the high ground behind the army, Zhang Yang put down the telescope in his hand, waved his hand, and ordered to fire.

  Immediately, there were messengers who began to send semaphores, and the order to fire the artillery was sent to the various artillery positions in front of the army formation.

  The artillery officer received the order to fire, and immediately shouted: "Fire!!"

  Boom boom boom! Nearly a hundred artillery pieces spewed dazzling flames, and nearly a hundred large and small cannonballs, like meteorites, smashed into the Nanzhili Army five hundred meters away.

  It hit a piece on the spot, followed by nearly a hundred shells, rolling frantically on the ground, no one could stop it wherever they passed, and blood gushed out.

  Nearly [-] cannonballs, that is nearly [-] bloody roads! Twenty thousand charged soldiers, hundreds of casualties on the spot! However, because the front line is too long, and the charging soldiers are as high as: [-], nearly a hundred cannonballs hit such a vast On the battlefield, it is not very eye-catching.

  It didn't make the [-] soldiers who launched the charge of the Southern Zhili Army have much fear. Only a few soldiers who witnessed the people around them being smashed into flesh by artillery guns were frightened, their faces turned pale, and their feet became weak. I secretly prayed that the artillery shells would not fall on their heads.

  A large army charge is not... a full force charge, you still need to maintain a formation, because although it is called a charge, it is actually faster than the usual walking speed.

  The distance of [-] meters does not seem long, but it takes a lot of time to walk.

  This distance allowed the artillerymen of Weihaiwei to fire several rounds of artillery.

  Boom boom boom! Waves of artillery shelling smashed into the charge of Nanzhili, knocking the teams apart abruptly and smashing them apart.

  At first, the formation was fairly neat, but at this moment, there was some mess.

  With the passage of time, when the [-]-strong army rushed to [-] meters in front of the Weihaiwei formation, only the artillery bombed it and injured [-]-[-] people! Almost every soldier of the Southern Zhili Army witnessed it. The horrific scene when the people around them were smashed into flesh by the artillery, all of them turned pale, and their eyes were full of fear.

  Although I know that it is impossible for artillery to cover them all, it will be reimbursed at one time.

  But this kind of feeling as if everything was handed over to God and resigned to fate is the most terrifying.

  In addition, the southern Zhili army basically had combat experience, and they all fought against the refugee army.

  All they do is bully the old, the weak, the sick, and the rabble.

  They are very unfamiliar with artillery, not to mention being smashed by artillery! If you want to understand artillery, find out how to deal with artillery, and treat artillery as nothing, then there is only one way - to be bombarded by artillery several times.

  If you are used to the sound of the artillery firing and the big movement caused by it, then you will be able to remain calm in the face of the artillery shelling.

  "All ready!!"

  When the Nanzhili Army rushed to a distance of [-] meters, it clearly began to charge and accelerate.

  The Weihaiwei infantry army, who had been waiting for a long time, formed a standard battle formation with hundreds of households as a unit. They crossed the artillery positions in front one after another, and began to face the southward Zhili army with a neat pace, gradually approaching.

  Wait until the two armies are [-] meters apart.

  The archers in the Southern Zhili Army, who had been bombarded by artillery for a long time, started their counterattack.

  "Boom!"

  Waves of arrow feathers smashed into the Weihaiwei infantry formation on the opposite side, which also contained many projectiles from muskets.

  The Ming army has long been equipped with muskets, but as the quality of the muskets is getting worse and worse, the number of fireballers has begun to decrease rapidly.

  In the end, the musketeers were mixed with the archers, and they could not become the main force, because the number was too small and the scale was too small to be a climate.

  "Keep going!"

  The arrow feathers and the musket projectiles in them caused injuries from time to time in the Weihaiwei infantry, but all the soldiers of the Weihaiwei army continued to move forward without blinking an eyelid, without any fear or evasion.

  When one person falls, one person is added from behind, and the entire team is like an emotionless robot, which is intimidating.

  An aura that no strangers should be near permeates them.

  fifty meters.

  Thirty meters.

  The expressions on the faces of the soldiers of the Southern Zhili Army who charged forward could be clearly seen.

  "Musket ready!"

  Hundreds of households in the Weihai Guards shouted loudly, and when the musketeers under their command heard it, they lit the arquebuses in their muskets and prepared to fire.

  Twenty meters! When the two armies almost collided with each other from a distance.

  "Fire!!"

  "Fire!!"

  "Fire!!"
