Chapter 832: Gap

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Dense gunfire sounded on the battlefield, and the soldiers of the royal palace climbed out of the trenches and charged in a scattered line. Read М

However, they did not rush to the opposite side in a swarm.

The Qin-style rifle gave them many tactical actions that they could not make on the battlefield before.

Due to the three-day bombardment, there were many shell craters between the trenches of both sides.

The royal palace soldiers advanced in groups of three.

When one person charged forward, the other two knelt on one knee and lay on the ground, shooting at the opposite trench to cover the first soldier's charge.

When the first soldier rushed out 20 or 30 meters, he immediately lay down and shot the enemy soldiers in a lying position to cover the two soldiers behind him.

At this time, the two soldiers would get up and charge, and they would cross and cover the charge repeatedly.

When encountering a shell crater, the royal palace soldiers would jump directly into the shell crater, relying on the shell crater, and constantly shoot the Nanliang soldiers and Beidi soldiers who emerged from the trench to cover the other soldiers' advance.

Since they didn't need to stand up to reload bullets, they just lay in the crater and continued to shoot.

The advantage of the Qin-style rifle, which could fire ten bullets a minute and had considerable accuracy, was reflected.

One soldier in the crater could often suppress four or five soldiers of the other side.

Because the soldiers of the Southern Liang and Northern Di were still using traditional flintlock rifles, it was good to fire two or three bullets a minute, which seemed very clumsy.

And this was just one crater.

In the blank area of ​​the trench with a width of 300 meters, there were hundreds of such craters.

In addition to the soldiers who crossed the charge to cover the shooting, the firepower of the Wangfu's personal army was very fierce along the entire trench line.

The sound of gunfire on the battlefield was like popping beans.

"Bang!"

After shooting the enemy soldier who showed his head in the opposite trench, Wang En pulled the bolt and took out another paper shell bullet from the belt and stuffed it into the gun chamber.

Closing the bolt, he aimed at the trench again, and as long as a soldier showed his head, he would pull the trigger.

He belonged to the First Army of the Wangfu's Personal Army and was a captain in charge of ten people.

Now all the soldiers were lying in the crater.

After another shooting, he found that there were no more soldiers within ten meters of the opposite trench.

Ten meters away, the enemy soldiers would occasionally show their heads and shoot at the charging soldiers.

Obviously, they had made a gap here.

"Get your grenades ready, follow me!" Wang En shouted loudly, crawling out of the crater, and his soldiers also followed them, approaching the trench in an irregular curve.

As soon as they got out of the trench, other soldiers from the palace jumped into the trench.

These soldiers consciously aimed their guns at the direction of Wang En's charge to provide them with cover.

When Wang En was only twenty meters away from the trench.

The enemy obviously discovered the threat of their group.

Immediately, the reserve soldiers rushed over from the corridor, ready to block the gap.

Seeing this, Wang En took the grenade from his waist, pulled the fuse and threw it over.

The soldiers following him also threw grenades at the soldiers rushing towards the gap.

"Boom boom boom..."

The flames in the trench suddenly shot up to the sky, and the reserve soldiers who rushed over screamed and fell down.

"Kill!"

Taking advantage of the moment when the enemy reserve was stunned by the explosion, Wang En shouted loudly, and he crossed the distance of 20 meters in just four seconds and jumped into the enemy trench.

The soldiers under his command followed him closely and also jumped into the trench.

"Bang bang bang..."

As soon as he entered the trench, Wang En aimed at the enemy soldiers in the trench and shot.

After killing a soldier, he immediately changed the bullet and shot the next soldier.

In a short time, they tore the gap bigger and bigger.

Because they disrupted the defense of the first row of trenches, other soldiers of the palace immediately followed, and more and more people jumped into the trench.

"Hahaha, you are worthy of being my brother." Wang Qiao lay in a crater and laughed.

During the battle of Niutoutan, because of his heroic performance, he was promoted from the general flag to the captain during this period, commanding 500 soldiers.

Later, because the powerful family stationed troops at Zhongling Pass, he followed the army northward and came to Zhongling Pass.

After he joined the royal army, his fifth brother also joined the royal army the following year.

People say that fathers and sons fight together, and brothers fight together, so he asked his brother to come over and take him under his command.

"Support immediately, and tear the gap as big as possible." Wang Qiao laughed for a while and immediately gave the order.

After receiving the order, his generals led the soldiers and rushed over.

At the same time, at other positions on the trench line, the royal soldiers were constantly tearing open the defense gap.

More and more royal soldiers rushed into the first row of trenches, and neither the Nanliang soldiers nor the Beidi soldiers could stop them at all.

"Damn it!"

Ashur and Orski hid in the hidden corner of the last row of trenches and watched the battlefield.

Seeing that the royal soldiers rushed into the first row of trenches in a very short time, he couldn't help but get angry and almost spit out blood.

These royal soldiers were too flexible on the battlefield.

They scurried around like monkeys.

Flintlock rifles were not very accurate, and they were attacking in a scattered line.

What was even more abominable was that once they encountered danger, they would just lie on the ground and crawl forward like snakes.

While crawling, they could even shoot at their soldiers.

Moreover, during the whole process, no soldier in the palace stood still and pulled out the cleaning rod to reload.

This was when they were most likely to be shot.

So in such a situation, their counterattack seemed very weak and was quickly defeated.

"Reserve troops, plug the gap for me." Ashur was furious.

Three days of bombardment had caused them to lose more than 20,000 people.

Now, in less than half an hour, their trenches were breached.

How could he, who was always proud, bear this? He was determined to fight to the death.

Compared with Ashur, Orski was much calmer.

After all, death is not a Russian soldier.

At the beginning of the war, he noticed that the movements of the King of Yan's soldiers were too flexible.

This kind of all-scattered tactic, even in the West, no one dared to use it.

But they just used it, and after observing it again, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

Suddenly realized that the King of Yan's soldiers seemed to be using a new type of musket.

This musket was actually loaded from the back.

The scene observed through the telescope overturned his cognition.

Realizing this, his cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes.

"I think we should retreat now." Orski said, and he lost confidence instantly.

The loading speed, range and accuracy of the new muskets of the Yan King's soldiers are simply terrible.

Although Ashur's soldiers are equipped with some smoothbore muskets with a range of 150 meters from the Russian State, this is far from enough.

Perhaps only imitation muskets can compete with them.

But even so, they will be much less flexible.

"Damn it, maybe it was a mistake for us to get involved in this war." Orsky shouted in his heart.
