After withstanding the first round of firecrackers, the Qing army also began to fight back. They pulled up their long bows and fired arrows at the Guan Ning Army's position. Although there was an earth wall to cover it, the arrows could not directly hit Guan Ning's army, but those who were fighting The white flag vests were skilled at controlling arrows and used the curvature of the arrows to hang them down. In this way, they caused casualties to the unarmored Guan Ning fire cannon soldiers. Several of the fire cannon soldiers who were concentrating on loading were instantly He was stabbed by arrows falling from his head and lost his fighting ability.
This round of arrow rain from the Qing army came with hundreds of arrows, but most of them were empty due to the earthen walls and deep trenches. However, the arrows falling from the left and right inevitably distracted the fire gun soldiers and allowed them to pass by. He caught the arrow but missed the charge. He was in a hurry and was in a hurry.
However, just after the Qing army archers fired the first round of arrows, almost at the same time, Ge Feihu ordered the second round of shooting. He had already reached the panic of the first brigade and had to quickly organize the second round before the Qing troops rushed in. Shoot to suppress the Qing army's archers, delay their attack, and gain breathing time for your own side.
People often say that they are brave and resourceful, but Ge Fei's body is not suitable for this. He is bold and cautious. When he was with the commander in the past, he was known for his bravery. In the battle of Yaksa, he even rode alone to clear the camp to persuade him to surrender. Now he was released to serve as a military officer in the regiment of Qianhu. As a newborn calf, he was not afraid of tigers. He commanded calmly and without any fear. No matter how numerous and fierce the Qing soldiers coming from all over the sky, he would not pay attention and would only be cold. He stared at the front coldly and kept issuing orders from his mouth.
"The first team is ready, fire!"
The fire cannons of the second brigade basically failed to fire, and the Qing soldiers in front of them suddenly fell to the ground. It was estimated that about three hundred people were killed or injured. However, the white flag vests were so brave that they could not stand the roaring fire cannons and the dancing lead. Unfazed, the archers fired their arrows again against the rain and the rain.
"Third Brigade, fire!"
The continuous shooting is still very effective, at least it can only be seen with the naked eye. The number of Qing troops who fell in front of the position was not one thousand but eight hundred. The result cannot but be said to be impressive. Such a large number of casualties also made Laita, who was commanding from behind, His body ached so much that he collapsed. Most of those who fell were his disciples of Zheng Baiqi, and not many of his slaves died.
"Dog slave!"
He gritted his teeth and cursed, not sure whether he was scolding Guan Ningjun or those Beijing slaves. Laita also showed his temper at this moment. After paying such a heavy price of casualties, the enemy's defense line was about to be broken. If he didn't charge harder, When should I wait? There has been no news from the south yet. If I lead my troops to break through the defense line of Guan Ning's traitors first, wouldn't I get the first credit! When I thought of this, Laita's spirits perked up and he said nothing. So he took his own soldiers into custody. Success or failure, this time!
The shooting speed of the matchlock gun is obviously not comparable to that of the flintlock gun, which can fire three rounds in a minute. Although fixed-charge powder bags have been used, the loading procedures are still cumbersome. However, the Qing army relied on the strength of their numbers. The crowd rushed forward risking their lives without fear of casualties. Thousands of Qing soldiers surged in front of the narrow defense line. The dense crowds of people, the flash of swords and the shadow of swords, were dazzling. Some people died in seconds. At this point, the battle was considered to have entered a fever pitch, and no one could You can't let your energy down, let alone be afraid, otherwise, the general trend will be lost.
After all, there was only one regiment of gunmen. Under such a crazy attack by the Qing army, the defense line was in danger. The front was too narrow. Killing hundreds of Qing soldiers in front would not hurt the Qing army at all. The natural disadvantage of the fire gun destined Ge Feihu to immediately order the regiment to retreat to the second line of defense, and let the Fuso regiment of the vanguard division fight face-to-face with the Qing soldiers. And he used the obstruction of the vanguard division to fight the Qing soldiers as quickly as possible. He organized a volley of firepower at the fastest speed, trying his best to kill the Qing troops rushing into the defense line as much as possible.
He thinks that I am just a piece of paper!
After spitting "Bah", Ge Feihu took off his sleeves, but instead of saying "single-handedly defeating a group of barbarians", he ordered his guards: "Send the order, retreat to the second line of defense!" and then turned to the flag soldiers behind him.
With a wave of his hand, the flag soldier quickly waved the red flag back and forth.
After hearing Master Qianhu's order to retreat, the matchlock soldiers did not dare to fight. Under the leadership of the officers, they retreated in accordance with the order and retreated in an orderly manner along the trench. Behind them, they could only hear the Qing army's tide-like shouts of killing.
Hundreds of Qing soldiers had already rushed to the earthen wall, and they jumped in with both hands. Seeing that his side had rushed into the rebel defense line, Laita was overjoyed, and he sped up and rushed from the rear with a few Goshiha.
Along the way, they shouted, "Kill, kill, the emperor is with us!"
"Soga!"
When the Guards Division signaled for help, Sento Kametaro of the Fuso Regiment burst into laughter. He had been waiting for this time for a long time, because if he could not participate in the battle, he and his subordinates would not be able to participate in the sharing of the spoils.
Then, he could only hope that a lot of gold, silver, treasures and women from the Qing Dynasty would fall into other people's pockets, while he could only stare.
This is not in line with the wishes of a samurai, let alone a pirate!
"For Guan Ning, for the commander-in-chief!"
Kametaro raised his heirloom samurai sword straight up and shouted to more than a thousand subordinates in various colors behind him: "Attack! Drive the Qing people out!"
"Warriors, the Qing people have mountains of treasures and countless beautiful women. If you want to possess them, let us attack bravely! For Guan Ning and the commander-in-chief, attack!"
I don't know when, Kametaro always used to say "for Guan Ning, for the commander" in his mouth, as if he couldn't prove his loyalty if he didn't do this, although the extremely inaccurate pronunciation of Fuso Chinese made other Guan Ning understand.
General Ning was very uncomfortable hearing this, but it did not affect Kametaro's personal confession. Even when eating, he would always say "For Guan Ning, for the commander-in-chief" first, and then he would take big mouthfuls of food.
It looks like the French people always say a prayer before dinner, saying "Thank God for giving us food."
After hearing the commander's order, more than 1,300 soldiers of the Fuso Regiment roared loudly, let out a roar that sounded ridiculous, or waved their swords, or held their spears high, and hummed a weird little song.
No. 1, he first took a small step forward, then spread his legs and rushed toward the Qing team that broke into his formation.
"Asgai!"
The Fuso people were brave and very loyal and fearless. Facing the thousands of Qing soldiers who had poured into the defense line, their desperate attack produced an astonishing effect. Under the attack of the first hundred or so people wielding samurai swords,
The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty felt a chill. They didn't know that these ridiculously dressed Guan Ning soldiers were Fuso people from the East. But for some reason, facing these colorful thieves, their legs seemed unable to move.
