The new army's hat-shaped helmets were made of forged iron sheets and were lined with cowhide on the inside.
Except for the large bows and heavy arrows of the slaves, even the Mongolian cavalry bows could not shoot through them.
It is even more impossible for the homemade bows and arrows of the bandits in front of them to penetrate the hat-shaped helmets of the new army.
But Xu Wuniu didn't know this, he just obeyed the order.
Because after nearly half a year of training, the military rules of the new performance book have been integrated into his bones.
Before Xu Yingwei didn't shout to stop, he had to grit his teeth and move forward even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead. If Xu Yingwei ordered a charge, he would have to jump down with his eyes closed even if there was an abyss ahead.
After the bandit's arrow missed, Xu Wuniu raised his head again.
In just this moment, the bandits had already reached within thirty steps. Not only could they hear their curses and shouts, but they could even see their hideous and ugly faces.
Most of these bandits have cruel smiles on their faces.
Xu Wuniu is still an honest and honest mountain man to this day.
There has never been such a thing as killing, and there have only been a few fights.
Therefore, Xu Wuniu instinctively felt panic when he saw the bandits charging towards him fiercely, but even so, Xu Wuniu still gritted his teeth and walked forward without any hesitation.
At this moment, the scholar walking in front finally lowered the sword he held high.
"First row, fire!" the soldiers roared, and quickly crouched down to get out of the way of firing.
Xu Wuniu, who was in the first row, immediately raised his flintlock gun, pointed it at a bandit thirty steps ahead, and pulled the trigger.
"Tap-tat-tat..." After the sound of the impact of flint and anvil, there was the sound of gunfire, and a cloud of white smoke immediately rose in front of the formation, and the bandits on the opposite side could no longer be seen clearly.
But one could still vaguely see that a whole row of bandits had fallen to the ground screaming.
Because of the gunpowder smoke, Xu Wuniu did not feel any discomfort after firing the gun.
According to the training, after firing the guns, Xu Wuniu quickly retreated to reload, and the second row took turns to fire the guns.
After the second row finished firing their guns, the third row came in one after another. When the third row also finished firing their guns, Xu Wuniu and his team had almost finished loading their guns and could fire again.
Following the order from Prince Qin, the first row stepped forward to play again.
After the play was completed, Xu Wuniu was about to step back and reload again,
The charge bugle of "duh da du du du du du" suddenly sounded in my ears.
The charge horn sounded, and there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of me, but I had to grit my teeth and charge forward. Without thinking at the moment, Xu Wuniu strode forward with a flintlock gun with a bayonet on the sleeve.
After taking two steps, I heard Xu Yinglong's angry curse.
Xu Yinglong used the dialect of Laodong: Ma beats the dragon!
Xu Wuniu also cursed subconsciously.
While cursing loudly, he strode forward with a flintlock gun in hand.
Because the sight was blocked by gunpowder smoke, I couldn't see what was going on in front of me, and I couldn't see a bandit, but I could hear the wails one after another.
It seems that the bandits must have suffered a big loss?
Xu Wuniu's confidence instantly increased and his fear was reduced.
Soon, Xu Wuniu passed through the smoke, and the view ahead suddenly became clear.
But I saw that the gentle slope in front was already full of bandits lying on the ground. These bandits who fell to the ground were all wailing, some were covering their chests, some were holding their thighs, and some were covering their faces.
Xu Wuniu was a little confused when he saw this, and his feet subconsciously slowed down.
As a mountain man, no matter how well-trained he is, he is only a well-trained mountain man.
It was unimaginable to kill someone face to face, and Xu Wuniu suddenly became frightened.
"Why are you still standing there?" A black figure suddenly rushed past Xu Wuniu, and then with a flash of cold light, he beheaded a bandit who tried to resist.
It's Mr. Xu wearing mountain armor.
"If you don't kill them, they will kill you!"
Xu Yingwei waved his sword and rushed forward quickly, but only the sound came back.
As if to confirm Xu Yingwei's words, a bandit stabbed Xu Wuniu in the abdomen with a bamboo spear.
Xu Wuniu wanted to hide, but his legs felt like lead and he couldn't move at all, so he could only watch the bamboo spear stabbing his lower abdomen, thinking that he would die this time.
"Poof!" Xu Wuniu was stabbed and staggered.
The knee-length cloth visor provides adequate protection.
The bandits' bamboo spears couldn't even penetrate the cloth, let alone the iron lining.
Xu Wuniu was unscathed, but was jolted awake by this stagger.
"How many times can I stab you to death!" Xu Wuniu roared, holding the bayonet and stabbed him.
The bandit had been injured in his leg and had difficulty moving, but he was stabbed by Xu Wuniu.
"Pfft!" There was a soft sound, and the sharp bayonet easily penetrated the bandit's chest and went straight through his back.
Xu Wuniu stabbed the scarecrow in the heart with a wooden gun countless times during training, so this stab directly penetrated the bandit's heart, and the bandit died on the spot.
This stab seemed to break Xu Wuniu's seal.
At that moment, Xu Wuniu drew out his bayonet and charged forward again.
As long as you encounter bandits who try to resist on the way, you can't help but stab them, just stab them!
Dominated by this violent emotion, Xu Wuniu didn't know how far he rushed and how many bandits he stabbed to death. He didn't stop until his vision suddenly became empty and no more bandits could be seen.
Xu Wuniu panted heavily, still not freed from his violent emotions.
"Wuniu, you can do it." A big hand patted Xu Wuniu's shoulder from behind.
"Die!" Xu Wuniu howled, turned around with his flintlock gun and stabbed him in the back.
Xu Wuniu made a sudden movement on his hand, and finally broke away from his violent emotions. When he looked again, he saw that the tip of the bayonet was less than half an inch away from Xu Dahu's abdomen.
"Wuniu, Ren Jiewu's sentences scare me to death." Xu Dahu cursed with more than enough heart.
"Who asked you to pat his shoulder from behind?" Xu Yingwei passed by and said, "Don't do such stupid things in the future, otherwise it would be too unfair to die under the bayonet of one of your own people."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although Xu Wuniu broke free from the violent emotion just now, he was still confused.
Some dumbfoundedly looked back at the hillside behind them, only to see bandits lying dead all the way behind them. They were all stabbed to death by him while charging along. There were corpses all over the mountains and plains below.
When had Xu Wuniu seen so many dead people?
Especially the bandit closest to him, although he was dead, his eyes were wide open and he was staring straight at him, making people couldn't help but think of him turning into an evil ghost and seeking his life.
"Wuniu, sit down and rest for a while." Xu Yingwei kicked the bandit's body.
The bandit's body turned over and finally no longer stared directly at Xu Wuniu.
However, Xu Wuniu suddenly felt a strong sense of disgust, and immediately fell to the ground and vomited.
This vomiting not only vomited out all the wrinkled rice I had eaten before, but also vomited out the bile.
Moreover, there were many New Army soldiers like Xu Wuniu lying on the ground retching. For a while, the hillside was filled with the sound of vomiting, not to mention how sour the smell was.
The new army took up its first battle and was victorious.
…
To be honest, Chongzhen was a little confused at the moment.
Chongzhen thought that this battle would be easy. Even though it was a new army, it was a well-trained new army and could not be competed by a mob like bandits.
Even if the new army holds spears, it is enough to defeat the bandits.
What's more, the new army was also equipped with flintlock muskets and sleeved bayonets.
Therefore, there is no doubt that the new army defeated the bandits.
But Chongzhen still didn't expect that this battle could be won so easily. It was simply devastating.
Xu Wuniu and the others were in the middle of the situation, so they couldn't see clearly, but Chongzhen and the others stayed at a high place in the rear and could see the entire battle clearly with the help of telescopes.
The bandits mistook the new army for the garrison army, and taking advantage of the terrain, they unscrupulously launched a dense formation charge towards the new army, trying to overwhelm the new army in one go, and then beat up the drowned dogs.
Then, tens of thousands of bandits ran into the three-stage attack of the New Army's line formation.
In just four waves of concentrated fire, at least four thousand bandits were killed.
That's right, more than 3,000 bullets were fired in four waves, and more than 4,000 bandits were killed.
Because when the new army opened fire for the first time, the bandits were already within thirty steps!
At this distance, the hit rate of the flintlock rifle is extremely high, and its penetrating power is extremely strong, enough to penetrate two people!
Only a small number of bandits wore armor, and the vast majority of bandits only wore fur coats. Some bandits did not even have fur coats, only thin cloth clothes, so the results can be imagined.
More than 4,000 people were killed or seriously injured in a short period of time, and the bandits were defeated in one fell swoop.
When the bandits behind him saw this, they were completely frightened, turned around and ran away, only hating their parents for having two legs.
At this time, Xu Yingwei and Yan Yingyuan accurately captured the fighter opportunity and decisively ordered the charge.
These bandits were already suffering from hunger and cold, and were seriously lacking in physical fitness. How could they outrun the new army who had three full meals?
What's more, most of the new army were mountain people, and their foot prowess was even worse than that of these mountain bandits. In the end, only a few old and alert bandits fled through the mountains and forests on both sides, and the rest were all stabbed to death by the new army.
However, the old bandits who fled into the mountains and forests on both sides can't escape.
Because there were three thousand cavalrymen from the cavalry battalion and eight hundred barbarians who had been waiting for them.
Three thousand cavalry and eight hundred barbarians can defeat the white-armored soldiers of the slave company head-on. Isn't it a piece of cake to deal with these old bandits? None of these old bandits can even think of running away.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, three thousand cavalry and Yiding returned one after another.
Also brought back by the cavalry and Yiding were more than 300 heads of old bandits.
The bandits in the Dabie Mountains have suffered a devastating blow this time. At least in the next ten years, it is unlikely that large groups of bandits will appear again. The mountain people should be able to live a good and peaceful life.
