The horse bandits finished shooting their arrows, and they began to organize their formation and were about to charge forward.
"Everyone is here, change the formation, five rows horizontal formation." Mo Zhui shouted loudly. There are five squadrons, one row for each squadron.
"They've run out of arrows," Donkey Dan shouted.
"Change the formation immediately, five rows horizontal formation"
One squadron and one horizontal platoon, this is stipulated in the training manual.
After the formation change, the first two rows quickly installed gun heads, while the third, fourth, and fifth rows removed the gun barrels, stood them on the ground, and began to load the guns.
Of course, the opponent will not give them time to reload, and will rush over directly.
The two armies quickly faced each other. The captains of each squadron shouted slogans and stabbed the horse bandits with spears.
The first row has shields and pot lids. The second row holds a shield in one hand and puts a spear on the shoulder of the first row with the other hand, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate.
Now there are more than 300 people left in Xiazi camp. There are more than 500 people on the opposite side. They are at a numerical disadvantage.
Yang Fan has no intention of moving out the defeated soldiers from Shangzi Camp. They need to rest and recuperate, and if they are all brought in, they won't be able to fight. It will only cause bad things and mess up the formation. Let them stay on the south city wall.
The horse bandits were all two-gun generals. Although they only had one spear at this time, their spears were very long. The cavalry spears were four and a half meters long. Otherwise, they would not be able to reach the infantry in front.
As for the sharp spear used in the regiment training, the spear head is 30 centimeters long, the musket is one meter long, and the wooden pole is 1.5 meters long. The total length is 2.8 meters, which is nearly half the length.
The one who suffered the loss was the team trainer, and the opponent's robe was in triple armor, while the team trainer's side was in commoner.
Fortunately, the opponent's arrows have been shot. Otherwise, he would have been even more passive.
It seems that the opponent is all suffering from his own side. Since he has few people, he cannot fight them like this.
The horse bandits quickly surrounded the front and left sides of the regiment. Their spears came directly towards them and dozens of people were stabbed and fell down in an instant.
"Hold the shield tightly, squat down in the first row, and half squat in the second row." Yang Fan ordered loudly.
The soldiers were not stupid. If they stabbed each other like this, they couldn't hit each other at all. The gap was six or seven feet. They quickly used their shields to protect the front tightly.
Nalan yelled and stabbed their broken pot lids into pieces.
The horse bandits held their long lances with both hands and stabbed Tuan Lian's shield hard. As long as this layer of turtle shell was broken, it would be a one-sided killing.
"Have you loaded the musket?" Yang Fan asked anxiously.
"Come on, load three shots,"
"No more waiting, call them all out."
"Here"
"Second Squadron, everyone squat down," Mo Zui shouted loudly.
"Squadron 3 opens fire" Donkey shouted loudly.
The horse bandit was trying his best to stab at the broken pot lids on the opposite side. The spears were piercing through them, and wood chips were flying. Although these elm trees were very hard, they did not have iron-coated wooden shields, so they could not stand in front of the spears for long.
Suddenly, everyone in the second row squatted down.
A row of dark gun muzzles were exposed behind.
Then the smoke filled the air, bang bang bang! A line of fire passed by, and the distance of five or six meters was the maximum power of the fire door gun.
More than thirty horse bandits in the front row sprayed blood from their clothes and staggered down.
Nalan shouted loudly, "Come forward, they have finished fighting, don't let them reload."
Then, less than a second later, there was another round of bang bang bang!
More than thirty people fell again.
The horse bandits sprinted forward even more desperately.
Another round of bang bang bang.
Dozens more people fell down.
The horse bandits were going crazy. What kind of gun was this? It could shoot three times in a row, but it was obviously not a three-eyed gun. They finally saw the third row crouching down. Finally, they finished firing, and it was our turn.
Soon they saw another row of black gun muzzles.
The fourth row is exposed.
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
Another three shots.
The whole front part of the horse bandit seems to have been shaved off.
"Throw the spear out," Alimbao shouted.
The horse bandit finally came to his senses, and after finishing the fight in the fourth row, he threw his lance as a javelin.
There was a scream, and dozens of people in the fourth row were shot and fell to the ground. Some people were even stabbed in candied haws. There was a period of chaos in the team.
"The 4th Squadron squats down, the 5th Squadron opens fire," Mo Zuo shouted loudly.
The remaining soldiers of the 4th Squadron squatted down quickly, and the 5th Squadron was revealed, and three rounds of volleys were fired. The smoke was thick, and the gunpowder smoke in front of the two armies made it difficult to see the figures.
There was another scream.
Nine rounds of volleys were fired, almost from the nose. There was no need to aim in the dense formation. The horse bandits on the opposite side finally collapsed after more than 150 people fell.
He ran backwards with a bang.
These nine rounds of muskets had already beaten them to pieces. Alinbao chopped down several of them but could not stop them. Seeing that the other side was about to charge at them, Alinbao and others turned around and ran away before the smoke cleared.
"Don't pursue, retreat, return to the city." Yang Fan looked at the fleeing enemies and made a decision immediately.
The remaining two hundred or so people in the lower camp, under Yang Fan's order, returned to the city in an orderly manner.
Yang Fan stood at the back with his servants. He did not enter the city until everyone had entered the city.
Those who were stabbed to death in the previous confrontation were all members of the regiment, and there were more than a hundred casualties.
Seeing that the horse bandits had indeed retreated, Yang Fan ordered Wang Zongqi to take the strong men out of the city to clean up the battlefield, chop off the heads of these Tatars, take back their weapons and armor, and carry back all the wounded soldiers.
Yang Fan stood on the city tower and looked at the Shangziying and Xiaziying formations in the city. He said nothing.
There were more than 250 people left in the Shangzi camp, and the main losses were due to those killed by Su Hetai's cavalry.
There were less than 200 people left in the Xiazi camp, and the losses were all those killed by arrows shot by the horse bandits and those stabbed to death with spears during the confrontation.
In one day, there were two camps, a thousand men, and more than 400 were left. We could still get dozens of seriously injured people out in the wilderness, but it was estimated that not a few would survive.
However, Yang Fan brought with him refugees who had just picked up knives and guns, so it was to be expected that they were beaten so badly. Yang Fan did not make it easy for them this time. He first killed more than 200 bandits, and then used muskets to kill them.
He defeated about 150 Tatars and killed 400 enemies, which was considered a miserable victory.
"Tune the Zuozi Camp and the Youzi Camp to the Hundred Households in the Rock Beach, while the Shangzi Camp and Xiazi Camp retreat back to the Dongshan Camp for reorganization." Yang Fan said to Donkey Dan.
"Here" Donkey Dan bowed and accepted the order.
Mo Zhuo urged the remnants of the two battalions to get on the boat before it got dark and arrive at Dongshan Camp at midnight, just in time to pick up Zuozi Camp and Youzi Camp and arrive at Baihusuo before dawn.
Watched the two battalions get on the boat and leave.
Yang Fan said to Mr. Wang Qi and Mr. Zhang: "This time we captured twenty war horses, as well as one hundred and fifty sets of bows, arrows, swords, guns, and armor. I will not stay at Baihu Station."
The two general bannermen quickly saluted and said: "Yes, yes, they are all captured by the regiment brothers, so naturally they must be kept in the regiment."
Yang Fan nodded and turned back to the tower.
We have seen today that without armor protection, soldiers are very vulnerable.
Too many problems have been exposed today. According to the current style of play, the losses will be too great. I don’t know how many more people will be added.
I have to admit that at this stage, I don't have the strength to fight Jiannu in the field.
The poor range and accuracy of the fire portal gun are no match for the bow and arrow.
Reloading is also very troublesome. The magic gun is actually useless. I take it for granted that the idea is good, but in fact it is all a problem.
The long gun shaft of the fire door gun is very difficult to hold. Because one hand has to hold the fire stick and be ready to light the fire at any time, and the other hand cannot hold such a long gun flat. If you want to fix an object, you must have two fixers.
Point, a point cannot be fixed.
Today many people are shooting their muskets into the sky. In fact, it is not just because of nervousness, but because they simply cannot hold their hands levelly.
If both hands are flat, how to light a fire? Can I light a fire by holding the fire stick in my mouth?
Yang Fan himself laughed.
