Seeing Li Wenxuan and Zhang Wu’s faces quickly showing awkward expressions, Wei Zheng continued, "In addition to the tiger and leopard army taking the initiative to attack against the Datong government, all seven civil servants in the Datong government must also attack together with the Datong government, because everyone is responsible for defending the land. If this battle is defeated, all seven civil servants and military commanders in Datong government will be guillotined …"
"It’s an adult …" Two people have a hard face to answer.
Seeing this, Wei Zheng hurriedly explained, "Of course, please pay Li Daren and Zhang Lieutenant to rest assured that I will never let the 10,000 troops who have just completed the expansion go to die."
"The purpose of the troops stationed in Datong Prefecture and the adults’ attack is to watch the war …"
"Look at how our butch army is lower than the rebel forces to defeat the rebels in the field …"
"I, Tiger and Leopard Army, take the initiative to defeat the rebels, extinguish the arrogance of the rebels, and at the same time raise everyone’s morale against the rebels through this battle …"
More than 5,000 officers and men who have just joined the garrison in Datong Prefecture, 50 miles away, are commanding hundreds of butch soldiers to overhaul the fortifications with bare hands and shovels.
As time goes by, it can help the Tiger and Leopard Army to block the lead shot. An earth wall is like the Great Wall. The road will be cut into two sections in the middle of the road.
And just then a few butch army cavalry rushed over quickly.
Jump directly after seeing the signs pointing at the back of the earth wall.
After kneeling on one leg and giving a military salute to Wei Zheng, he reported, "Your Excellency, the latest information on the enemy …"
"The rebel vanguard 3,000 firearms troops are the last ten miles away from the battlefield, and the speed of rapid March is rapidly rushing to the battlefield. Please prepare for adults early …"
Weizheng nodded his head and his calm face was quickly covered by seriousness. Wang Feng ordered, "General Wang, I will hand over the battle to you … command the soldiers to enter the battlefield and prepare for the battle …"
"The cavalry regiment is forbidden to attack without my order …"
Then twist a head to Li Wenxuan and others and say, "Lieutenant Zhang, Li’s adult, is about to fight, and you are ordered to gather troops and adults to prepare for the battle and see how the Tiger and Leopard Army defeated the rebels."
Chapter one hundred and seventy Calm and fear
Old-fashioned matchlock guns and artillery don’t have much accuracy. One of the most critical factors to kill the enemy dozens of steps away from the battlefield is to increase the firepower density. More directly, it is to increase the density of lead bullets fired by firearms.
As soon as the rebel pioneers came, they pushed out a limited number of dozens of guns. The muzzle of the dark hole pointed at the earth wall of the cross road more than 100 steps away.
The artillery sent out a thousand musketeers, but they were not idle. Officers at all levels quickly formed a musket array and stood at the front end of the artillery to prepare for shooting and attack.
More than a hundred steps, whether the rebel musketeers or gunners have entered the Tiger and Leopard Army, the new musketeers have a worse range, and the Tiger and Leopard Army is a large-scale artillery with a longer range.
Surprisingly, however, in the face of the direct command of the rebel firearms forces that have entered the range, Wang Feng has no motor gun orders
He waited for the best opportunity to give a fatal blow to the three thousand rebels in front of him.
"Rumble ….." A string of violent artillery rebel positions sounded in a row, and dozens of guns quickly spit out a ball of fire mixed with a lot of black smoke.
These fireballs were wrapped in solid iron shells that were burned red by gunpowder and flew out of the barrel quickly, whistling to the earth wall of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
At the same moment, Wang Feng roared and the wall of Tiger and Leopard Army rang.
"Hidden body hidden … give me hide behind the wall can’t outcrop …"
A thousand musketeers quickly put away along the line of the earthen wall and squatted behind it.
At this time, with sharp whistling shells, they just flew in front of them.
"Boom, boom …" A string of dull impact on the earth wall sounded more than a dozen shells, which directly hit the earth wall with a thickness of one meter, throwing out craters, and at the same time, large areas of dust were lifted by these shells.
Of course, some shells hit the earth wall, and some shells roared past the head of a thousand musketeers with hot air billow sticking to the edge of the earth wall.
The only thing that surprised everyone was that although dozens of shells were powerful and powerful, they did not achieve any substantial results except causing some damage to the earth wall.
Of course, the rebels don’t know about these situations
They saw that after they fired the first round of artillery shells, the defense line of Tiger and Leopard Army was swept up by artillery shells in a blink of an eye, and the dust was covered. On the surface, these artillery shells achieved "very good" results.
So round after round of artillery shells were constantly fired at the front line of the earth wall by the rebels as if they didn’t want money
It took half an hour for the earth wall, which was three feet thick, to be smashed and riddled with holes, when the artillery rumbled and the artillery hit stopped, the battlefield suddenly became quiet.
As a sharp whistle sounded on the battlefield, 1000 musketeers moved in front of the guns, and the flat-ended matchlock guns lined up neatly moved forward step by step.
"The dog ate so much ash and finally waited for the rebel musketeers to go out …" After shooting the dust department, Wang Feng looked at the rebel musketeers with a hot face and said excitedly.
As soon as the voice fell, the battalion commander of the first battalion of the musket regiment suggested, "General, the rebels have attacked and are in the range of muskets. Let’s fight …"
Wei Zheng shook his head and denied, "Don’t worry. The rebels are equipped with old-fashioned matchlock guns. It will take 60 steps to kill us. Now it is still so far away from 60 steps. What are you in a hurry?"
Speaking of which, Wei Zheng continued …
"Listen up, everyone. If I eat the 3,000 rebels in front of me instead of crushing them, no one can shoot before me."
"All the artillery in the artillery battalion are specially aimed at the rebel artillery positions. If they can scatter bullets, they can scatter bullets. If they can’t scatter bullets, they will be solid shells. In a word, after hearing my artillery orders, they must immediately destroy the rebel artillery positions."
"All the firepower in the musket regiment is responsible for destroying the rebel musketeers who attack us."
Speaking of which, Wang Feng Yu Guang glanced at the back to watch Wei Zheng and Wan Datong House garrison and shouted, "Men’s company commanders, adults, Wan Datong House garrison and all civil and military officials are watching us from behind, watching our butch army enter the first battle of Datong House."
"In order not to embarrass our company commanders, we must fight this battle well."
"The soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army listened to the horses to prepare for the battle."
The 1000 musketeers who stuck to the earth wall were all veterans who fought face to face with the Tatars.
A thousand musketeers can cook in the face of the most elite cavalry with yellow flags, and even worse, the rebels have not been formally trained in front of them
After Wang Feng’s orders arrived, everyone held muskets, and they never forced to wait for guns.
One thousand musketeers kept the battlefield motionless and watched the battle behind the battlefield, but Li Wenxuan and others could not live.
