Chapter 1002: Loading bullets

"Wow." At this time, the private army of the nobles of the Wei State who heard the order began to advance. They want to get as close as possible to the opponent.

"Look, they are coming towards us. It seems that we are going to really go to war." Seeing the opposite Wei Jun advancing. A Republican soldier whispered.

"Leave him alone. When the war starts, I'll run." said the Republican soldier on the side. Among the soldiers of the Republican Army who came here, quite a few people joined the army with payment. They don't have any feelings for this new country, and they do what they do with the nobility. They have nothing. Therefore, they treat war with an indifferent attitude. They have no interest in the country or war.

Such people get involved. The combat effectiveness of the Republican Army can be imagined.

"Lord, we should let the shield go forward first. Then. Order our archers to follow, and release arrows to protect our shield soldiers and kill the opponent's musketeers." The adviser sitting aside suggested.

"Very good. Just do it." said the nobleman.

"Shield soldier, go forward. Archer, then." The counselor said to the general behind.

"Here." A general agreed to leave, and the order was passed on quickly.

The battle began instantly.

Wei Jun's army is still advancing slowly. They are still in constant temptation. However, the first ones who entered the battle were shield soldiers and archers. The spearmen and halberds from behind followed closely behind.

The formation of the Republican Army on the opposite side was quite simple. They didn't even know how to line up their troops. Their commander was just a veteran who had participated in the battle.

The front of the Republican Army is very simple. Simply spread the Musketeers and the ordinary infantry behind them in a flat line. The tactical arrangement is that the Musketeers shoot and disrupt the opponent's formation. Then he launched a charge, rushed in a swarm, and took advantage of the number to defeat the opponent. The tactics are very simple, because if it is too complicated, if the arrangement of more than 4,000 people without any military training is too complicated, the whole tactic will not be completed. Therefore, the veterans are still reasonable, but how strong is the combat effectiveness. , I don’t know.

"Putting such a group of people who have not received military training into battle. This is simply a disaster." The commander said. He has no interest in winning such a battle.

"Stop." At this time, Wei Jun stopped advancing. The shield phalanx and the archer phalanx in front were ordered to move on. They left the formation alone as the forwards of the formation.

"Wow." The shield soldiers with heavy shields slowly approached each other with heavy steps. The combat distance between the two sides is three hundred steps. They need to complete these three hundred steps to get close to the opponent's combat distance.

"No, the other party sent shield soldiers and archers. They seemed to want to kill our personnel before fighting us." The commander's chief of staff said in a low voice.

"Do we have a way?" the commander asked.

"This." The chief of staff could not answer.

"We have nothing. How to fight." the commander asked.

"We don’t have cannons. If we have cannons, we can stop them, but we have nothing. We only have infantry, a group of infantry who can’t do anything. I really don’t know whether we will win a battle like this. "The commander said with a bit of frustration.

"But we have to do something?" the chief of staff said.

"What do we have and what can we do? We can't do anything. Wait." The commander said negatively. In this regard, the chief of staff was helpless. He didn't know what he could do. They only had infantry in their hands. They didn't know what these infantry could do. If the infantry were allowed to shoot forward, he really didn't know whether those soldiers would have the courage to go on like this.

"Go forward." Wei's private forward still approached them slowly. The soldiers of the Republican Army stayed there motionless.

"Are we staying like this?" a Republican asked.

"I don't know, we will run as soon as the battle begins," a soldier whispered.

For a while, the battle fell into a silent confrontation. Both sides are quietly waiting for the moment of contact.

"Boom." Wei Jun's war drum kept beating. Wei Jun is constantly approaching the Republican Army. The soldiers on both sides repeatedly heard nothing in their hearts. They waited for the moment when the battle started.

"You said, this war, will we win?" the nobleman asked his counselor.

"They will definitely win. Although they have muskets, they are a group of lowly slaves who can't fight. They are not our opponents." The counselor said.

"That's good." The nobleman nodded and said.

"We have to beat them severely, otherwise they don't know anything." said the nobleman.

"Yes." said the counselor.

The nobles and counsellors were talking freely, and the shield soldiers and archers of the Wei Army had reached the position of one hundred and fifty steps. This position was exactly the distance the archers attacked.

"Order our archers to release arrows." The noble commanded loudly at this time.

"Wow, wow." A flag bearer in the back waved a flag.

"Stop the archer." In the archer's phalanx, a man who looked like an officer shouted loudly.

"Wow." At this time, the archer stopped advancing.

"Prepare," the officer shouted loudly.

"Wow." The archers took out their arrows and placed them on the bowstrings. They used all their arms to pull away the bows and arrows, and then faced the Republican Army at a certain angle.

"Release." Archers need good arm strength to release their arrows, and if they are not released for a long time, the accuracy of the bow and arrow and the recovery of physical strength will be poor. Thus, the archer has only one bow. They won't let the archers stay in this position for a long time. This is a kind of damage to them.

"Wow." The released arrow flew out all of a sudden.

"Swish swish." The bow and arrow quickly drew a beautiful curve in the sky and fell towards the Republican Army. However, most of the arrows fell in front of the Republican Army, and only a small part fell in the Republican Army. But for the Republican Army, they encountered losses.

"Ah." "Ah." "Puff." The arrow kept hitting the Musketeers who were waiting to shoot. The musketeers kept falling with arrows. Many soldiers had arrows in their bodies, shouted loudly, and kept rolling on the ground, which seriously affected the combat mood of other soldiers.

"Order the soldiers to take away the soldiers that were shot." The commander said.

"Let it go." The officer waved the short sword again and ordered the archer to shoot.

"Swish." The archer released his bow again. This time, the weakness of the bow and arrow was slightly closer to the position of the Republican Army, and the number of Republican soldiers who fell in the arrow was also a lot more. However, the soldiers of the Republican Army still did not experience a large-scale rout. They are still standing in place.

"Don't move. Standing, we only need to shoot. We will win." The officer kept shouting in the crowd. When someone fell down with an arrow, the infantry behind would carry away the injured. Their wailing can seriously affect morale.

There are not many archers in the Wei army, only more than three hundred, and their shooting skills are not in place, archers need a certain amount of training. It is difficult for archers who are improvised to hit the opponent's formation. because. The distance is far, there are more things to consider. Wind direction factors will seriously affect the stability of archery.

Wei Jun’s archers did not do much harm to the Republican Army. But it's not too small. Many soldiers fell down with arrows, which made many Musketeers realize. This is the real war. The splattering blood made them feel the cruelty of war for the first time deep in their hearts.

"Wow." The Wei Army shield soldiers who continued to advance were only fifty steps away from the Republican Army at this time. The combat distance between the two sides is already relatively close.

"Shoot." The commander issued an order at this time.

"Wow." A Republican soldier waved the banner in his hand.

"Is it too early to shoot now?" At this moment, the chief of staff asked loudly.

"Shoot, it's getting late," the commander said.

"We still shoot within 30 paces so that we can kill more people." The Chief of Staff suggested.

"Fifty steps, someone will fall down anyway," the commander said.

"Let those lads shoot more. A shot. It will be good for them," the commander said.

"This is not so good." The chief of staff objected.

"The war has begun." The commander said directly.

"Raise the gun." At this time, the Republican Army's phalanx had already begun to shout loudly.

"Wow." The musketeers lined up in three rows, four in a line, and they raised their muskets in a dense crowd.

"Aim." The officer shouted again.

"Wow." All the soldiers obeyed the order and opened the fire door.

"Let it go." The officer shouted.

"Bang bang bang bang bang." There was a thunderous sound. The Musketeers intensively fired at the approaching shield soldiers.

"Bang. Bang." Some bullets hit the shield and sparked.

"Puff. Puff." Some bullets directly grazed the gaps and edges of the shield, directly hitting the Wei army soldiers, some of them were shot and killed. Or it was hit by a bullet and fell to the ground.

"Ah." After the hit soldier fell to the ground, he wailed loudly. The soldiers behind continued to maintain their formation and advance. Those soldiers who fell will not get any help.

"Load bullets." The officer shouted loudly at this time.

"Wow." The musketeer who fired all at once began to reload the bullets. Many of them are not yet familiar with how to load bullets quickly. This is a big test.
