There was a sound of "sucking, sucking, sucking" eating noodles in the military camp, and the soldiers licked the bowls clean.
After eating, the auxiliary soldiers transported a large amount of ammunition and grenades to the front line, waiting for them to be replenished at any time after they were consumed by the war.
"The enemy has moved out!"
On a hillside at the rear, an antenna was erected there to receive telegrams from the front.
The coach's camp was also here, and the orderly soldier turned around and said to Liu Qiang, who was sitting there with his eyes closed and concentrating.
"Continue to observe and report every 5 miles."
Liu Qiang didn't open his eyes. He was still thinking about whether there was any imperfection in his tactics.
It was also the first time for him to command such a large-scale war. Although he relied on the military books he had read before and after several deductions and exercises, he knew how to deal with this kind of war, and he used hot weapons to face cold weapons.
Even if he defeats many enemies with fewer enemies, he still has the confidence to defeat them!
However, being able to reduce one's own casualties as much as possible and attack the enemy's effective force as much as possible is directly related to his arrangement.
Time passed bit by bit, and bursts of chants came from outside. This was the militia group, which was undergoing training in company units. Liu Qiang went out and took a look. The militia group had already formed under the command of Lu Feihu.
Three square formations were on standby.
The main soldiers have also formed a square formation.
When they charge, they don't have to form a formation like a militia. They use the trio as the basic unit, the platoon as the unit to cooperate with each other, and the company as the unit to cover each other. They are loosely integrated and can better exert their own combat effectiveness.
"The vanguard of the bandits is still five miles away!"
the messenger shouted.
Liu Qiang picked up the intercom and pressed the intercom button: "I am Liu Qiang. All units are checking weapons and ammunition and preparing for war!"
"receive!"
The officers' voices came over the intercom.
Liu Qiang stood on a high hill and saw troops everywhere taking action immediately.
The three phalanxes of the militiamen arrived at their predetermined positions and formed the "〔" formation.
When Liu Dajiang came to the battlefield chosen for him by the Qingcheng regiment training, what he saw was this group of soldiers in formation!
"The formation is loose, there are no gongs or drums, and there is no enemy flag. Will these people fight?"
Even though Liu Dajiang was a general from the peasant army, after these years of study, he had to have military drums and flags to command the army, so that he could command and convey orders, form corresponding enemy formations, and respond with formations that fit the terrain and the number of people.
War with enemy forces.
But there was nothing on the opposite side.
"The general opposite is a novice who doesn't know anything, right?"
He couldn't help but think in his mind: "Could it be that those previous scouts were really killed by monsters?"
He knew about monsters. He even encountered monsters causing trouble when he was in Fengtai a few months ago, and was later killed by the officers and soldiers of the imperial court.
There are also rumors of monsters in Mangshan Mountain in Beiwan.
"General, these people are in good condition. I'm afraid there is something behind them."
The staff member on the horse next to him raised his hand and reminded him.
Even when facing one's own army, the enemy's formation is not chaotic at all.
"Send someone over to communicate first... No need."
Liu Dajiang wanted to send someone to communicate, but at this time, the enemy troops had already begun to march forward in formation. This was obviously a signal to start a war!
"This group of people seems to be less than ten thousand people. You just don't know where this army comes from, and you act so arrogantly. Let me weigh you to see how good you are. You dare to block my way, Liu Dajiang!"
Go ahead and try it out with the cannon fodder first.
The main soldiers were divided into frontal formations, preparing to attack the enemy's three square formations.
The cavalry is ready to attack from the flanks at any time!"
Liu Dajiang ordered.
Below, the messenger immediately ran down on horseback and passed on Liu Dajiang's order.
Liu Dajiang said it was easy, but at this moment his heart was not at all easy.
Thousands of soldiers from the other side had no drumbeats or flags, but they were able to march at the same pace, executing orders and prohibitions one by one, and the three square formations marched forward in unison. Such an army has never been seen or heard before, and it is incomprehensible!
Zhang Heizi and his men were arranged in the first row of the central square, walking forward with their footsteps tapping the sound of the whistle "beep~beep".
After patrolling for more than half a month and killing countless defeated soldiers, they looked at the enemy's cannon fodder rushing up with pickaxes, wooden sticks, and even bare hands. Not only were they not afraid, they even felt a little funny.
What is there to be afraid of in such a battle?
"Beep!"
"stop!"
The company commander received the order to stop through the intercom, and the sound of the whistle in his mouth stopped. At this moment, the team also stopped like countless previous trainings. Except for the sound of breathing, everything in the team was quiet.
He stood there solemnly, like a solid wall, full of murderous air!
They looked at the chaotic, swarming enemy troops rushing towards them from afar, without any emotion on their faces.
"First row, raise your guns!"
The company commander's shouts were amplified by the loudspeaker in his hand.
At this moment, the militiamen integrated into the collective were as precise as parts of this large war machine, each doing their own thing at this time.
The militiamen in the first row of the three square formations all took a step forward and raised their flintlock guns.
Waiting silently, waiting for these enemy troops to reach within their effective range!
One breath, two breaths, three breaths, four breaths... everyone was silent, their fingers on the trigger.
Thanks to the long-term preparation training, the training procedures have been deeply engraved in their bones.
After experiencing the task of clearing up the defeated soldiers, most of the militiamen had their hands stained with the lives of those defeated soldiers.
At this moment, the entire war machine is very stable.
They stared closely at the charging enemies, and no one pulled the trigger in advance.
"put!"
With an order.
Because of the enemy's dense formation, there was no need to consider the accuracy of the shot. The order to fire started at a distance of more than 200 steps (about 400 meters).
"Bang bang bang!" The sound was loud, but in a very short time, the first row of the three square formations had already poured out the bullets in the barrels.
At the same time, the cannon fodder that was being driven on the battlefield was suddenly stunned!
The cannon fodder rushed up in dense formation, and hundreds of people fell down in the front row in an instant. There were still some who were not shot dead on the spot. They struggled, howled, and were trampled.
Countless cannon fodder standing in front looked at their fallen comrades beside them. A cold air suddenly rushed from the soles of their feet to their brains. A feeling of fear instantly emerged from their hearts. They couldn't help but get goosebumps all over their bodies. They were afraid.
His whole body was trembling.
They are just a group of common people who have been hijacked by the rebels and have not experienced any training.
However, the people behind did not know the situation and were pushed forward.
In front of the Qingcheng militia square formation, a sheet of white smoke had risen, blocking their sight.
Fortunately, they do not need to watch the enemy's casualties, they only need to follow orders and fire.
After the first row finished shooting, they immediately squatted down and began to change bullets quickly.
The second row already had their guns in hand and pulled the trigger.
When the third row pulled the trigger, the first row, in a skilled and mechanical movement, had completed the reloading and pulled the trigger again!
It's almost a seamless connection.
The white smoke became more and more diffuse, and the white smoke completely blocked the sight of the militiamen. On the contrary, they were less afraid in their hearts. They only remembered the movements in their hands, quickly pulling back the gun, stuffing the primer pack and projectiles, and pressing the push rod to the bottom.
, raise the gun, pull the trigger, pull back the bolt...and it starts over and over again, repeating the mechanical action.
300 meters above the sky, several drones are flying at the same time. They are either hovering in the air or quickly passing by each other. They are always observing the enemy's movements and transmitting any of their actions and changes back to the hills in real time.
command post above.
After two rounds, more than 4,000 enemy cannon fodders have fallen!
There are still more than a hundred steps between the two sides, and the hand-to-hand combat has not yet begun. The enemy is already in chaos!
Some people turned around and ran back, countless people collided here, and chaos ensued.
Liu Dajiang looked at the chaos on the front line and felt extremely anxious!
"Immediately press forward, the regular soldiers... the old battalion immediately press forward! Drive the people in front away! Push the chariots up! Cover the archers, and the archers will launch!"
He shouted loudly.
Seeing such a battle situation, even if those newly recruited recruits press forward, they are no better than those cannon fodder!
They can only press forward with their three thousand old soldiers. Only these people have the courage and ability to clean up the battlefield.
The messenger immediately rode away and galloped away.
Liu Dajiang's eyes were scarlet: "What the hell is this army? What the hell is this army? There are firearms, such sharp firearms! They fired after more than 200 steps, and they can cause such casualties!"
Damn it, you sent out so many scouts that you can’t even find out who the other party is, so you’re just a fool to use!”
His temples were beating with anger, he raised the whip in his hand and swung it towards a young general wearing silver armor next to him.
The young general in silver armor held the tip of his whip with one hand and said coldly: "General, you don't want to be so angry."
"snort!"
Liu Dajiang lashed out, took back the whip, and snorted coldly. Suddenly he pulled out the long knife on his horse, and flashed through the void with a "whoosh", and chopped off the head of the adjutant next to the young general in silver armor, drawing blood.
Kuangbiao: "Liu Chunsheng, remember, this army now belongs to me!
And you are my subordinate!"
The silver-armored young man's chest rose and fell violently, and his eyes were about to spit out fire.
After all, he still held the handle of the knife tightly in his hand and suppressed the anger in his heart.
Liu Dajiang had a violent personality, but his commanding ability was pretty good. He rushed forward in regular formation and instantly cut through the rioters in front.
Cover the archers and rush forward.
However, even if the bow and arrow are fired at a high angle, the distance is only about a hundred steps. It is no more than a dream to risk bullets to reach the opponent.
After the regular soldiers rushed out, they were immediately struck by the power of the guns. The shields on the chariot in front were covered with thick wooden boards covered with leather. The flintlock bullets hit the shields with flying wood chips, making a crackling sound! Moreover, the shield vehicle could not
Block everyone, and from time to time someone will be hit by projectiles.
Finally, we walked about a hundred steps under the hail of bullets. The closer we got, the more powerful the projectiles were. From time to time, shields were penetrated and hit the soldiers behind the shield vehicles. After that, it was difficult to move even an inch!
"Archer!"
The archers behind bent their bows and fired upwards, and in an instant thousands of arrows shot into the sky!
However, the effect was achieved.
At the end of the powerful crossbow, it was unable to penetrate Lu Yi. Most of the arrows failed to fall into the militia square formation. Occasionally, arrows did fall, but they failed to interrupt the rhythm of the militia party's design.
Liu Dajiang stood on the high slope, looking at the scene on the battlefield, and became anxious: "No! It can't go on like this! Liu Chunsheng, you immediately lead people around to harass the enemy's firearms camp, we can't let them fire guns like this!"
Just when Liu Dajiang was extremely anxious, Liu Qiang's mentality was much more relaxed than when the war started. He looked at the picture transmitted by the drone on the monitor, judged the enemy's position based on the grid distance above, and picked up
Walkie-talkie: "Qin Sheng, get ready to fire the cannon."
