Accompanied by a series of musket shootings by the Ming army, the high-temperature and rapid lead quickly pierced into the bodies of these northern barbarians, or everywhere in the bodies of horses.

This is not something that the Ming soldiers can change. Only God knows what direction the bullets of the smoothbore gun fly after a certain range.

But it doesn't hinder the current situation. Anyway, there are northern enemies from all directions. As long as you shoot flat, you can almost be shot, whether you are a man or a horse. What's more, the hit rate is greatly improved by miraculously.

Who made these guys who had never experienced the power of muskets surrounded the Ming army's battle formation with a ring, and kept firing around the circle. Although the interval was not small, the number of people was too large and the encirclement was very thick. Isn't it that lead bombs would fly to wherever they could fly?

Under such circumstances, the Beilu were constantly shot and killed. Those who were not dead were hit by the arm and thigh or even the butt, and they would scream and fall off the horse.

The one who fell in front and the one behind had no time to brake. Those who were not dead were also trampled to death. The Beilu, who were even more lucky, had their necks broken and died even worse.

One trip, one trip, one trip, and another trip, and the chain reaction caused the losses of the Northern Rus to increase sharply. Moreover, the Ming army's muskets had not stopped and kept firing. This was not counting the flintlock gunmen, and the flintlock gunmen did not receive the order to fire, because the current situation was enough for the bird gunmen to deal with it.

Soon, a thick circle of corpses of people and horses were piled up around the Ming army formation, and at this moment, the Ming army suffered less than one hundred losses.

Amid huge casualties and chaos, the commander of the Beilu had no choice but to start making adjustments.

The sound of the quaint, long and desolate horns sounded, and the circular formation changed. The northern barbarians dispersed to further places, avoiding the Ming army's shooting range and changing tactics.

A large number of Northern Governors dismounted directly, threw down their bows and arrows, and picked up the steel knife.

The remaining Beilu hid outside the range of the Ming army muskets. They were not stupid. They realized the power of the Ming army muskets and the huge damage they might bring to them. Under such a tortoise tactic, their crossbows could basically not bring much damage to the Ming army.

It seems that they intend to use infantry to defeat the Ming army's battle formation, and then use cavalry to slaughter.

The tactics are very good.

The sound of the trumpet sounded, and the Beilu infantry rushed forward with howling, surrounding them from all directions.

Xiao Ruxun roared: "Let's fire!!"

The gunman immediately raised his gun and fired.

Without war horses, although they could rush forward to fight, the death rate also increased greatly. People were killed, not horses. After one round of shooting, the gunmen retreated, the second round of shooting, and then the third round of shooting. In the fourth round, it was finally the turn of the flintlock gunmen with extremely high shooting accuracy.

Xiao Ruxun’s requirement for them is to hit wherever he points within a hundred steps, and to the leader! He looks like a commander! The further he hits, the higher the reward, it depends on whether you can get it!

Xiao Ruxun's lectures to the fire-locked gunman are very common

The purpose of giving you this twelve taels of silver is not to use it as a fire stick! You should treat it as your brothers and sisters to protect you! When fighting, you should treat it as a magic weapon to kill people!

One shot is equivalent to three shots from the bird gunner. At such a high price, you must achieve the results worth this price!

The bird gunners are trained with fixed targets, while the flintlock gunners are all mobile targets.

Becoming a flintlock gunner is also a strict inspection. Only the bird gunner with the highest shooting accuracy and the most skilled operation can become a flintlock gunner. After becoming a flintlock gunner, the treatment is greatly improved, but the assessment is also stricter.

A target has five concentric rings. The standard for a bird gunner is to hit the ball. The standard for a flintlock gunner is to hit the ball within three rings. If you don’t hit the ball in one shot, you don’t hit the ball in two shots, you don’t hit the ball in three shots, you don’t hit the ball in four shots and you don’t hit the board ten times. If you don’t hit the ball in five shots, you don’t hit the ball in five shots, you don’t hit the ball out!

Under such stimulation, the shooting accuracy is directly linked to their personal income and honor and disgrace. Each of them is comparable to a sniper, and they basically hit wherever they point within a hundred steps.

This is even more so now. Three hundred people are divided into two-ring shooting queues, one-ring one-round one-five people are three hundred shots, and then they are backing down after shooting twice in a row.

"Open fire!!!"

With a command, the flintlock gunmen each found their own targets and fired in a scattered manner. Many Northern Barbarian soldiers were frightened to find that many people around them fell down, and they were extremely dead, and they were basically killed and not injured.

Before they could come back to their senses, there was another round of volleys, and it was not over yet, followed by two more rounds.

Many Beilu felt that they were empty.

They began to develop a little fear of the terrible square.

Every time the gunshots, someone around them is killed, broken hands and feet, or broken heads, and blood, brain plasma and limbs are everywhere. Such heavy casualties make them feel scared. They charge all the way, and blood flows all the way.

The gunshots were still ringing, and the casualties were still increasing. I don’t know who was the first to react. The alive Beilu soldiers raised their dead companions on the ground and pushed them in front of them, treating them as shields, and rushed forward with a loud shout.

This resulted in an unexpectedly good way. Bullets were difficult to penetrate the human body. The casualties of the Northern Territory were greatly reduced, and they quickly approached the formation.

When it reached a certain distance, Xiao Ruxun directly ordered the bird gunner to put down the bird gun, draw out the machete, transform into a melee army, and the musket attack suddenly stopped.

When the soldiers of Zhennan Army face the enemy, they must dare to fight hand-to-hand even without the attack of muskets!

Hands-to-hand combat! Hands-to-hand combat! Hands-to-hand combat!

In 1840, the Qing Dynasty was not defeated by firearms against the British army! At that time, the British army was still using smoothbore guns! In 1860, the Qing Dynasty was not defeated by firearms! At that time, the British and French Allied Forces did not have machine guns or continuous guns! That was invented during the American Civil War, and it took more than ten years to install it!

The Western weapons and equipment during the Eight-Nation Alliance were incomparable to the Western weapons and equipment during the Opium War!

Even during the Eight-Nation Alliance period, the Qing army, after 30 years of accumulation in the Westernization Movement, was even better than some units of the Eight-Nation Alliance. The advanced weapons they purchased and even the British and French troops did not start to be equipped, which was even better than the national army that fought against Japan more than 30 years later.

But they were almost at a loss.

The Qing Dynasty's firearm equipment ratio was very high, and the traditional firearm tactics were very mature. Although the weapons were one level lower than the British and French army, the British and French coalition forces were not yet at the level that they could defeat the Qing army.

The Qing soldiers could attack firearms with the British French army. The British French army did not have an absolute advantage in firearms, but when the firearms could not resolve the war and the British French army charged in a row, the Qing soldiers quickly collapsed and fled.

Like the Ming army guards in the late Ming Dynasty, they dared not fight hand-to-hand combat and had no hand-to-hand combat ability. They could insist on using firearms when they had firearms, but once the firearms lost their effectiveness and the enemy began to charge, they would collapse quickly.

They had no training, no fighting spirit, no organization and hand-to-hand combat ability, their military equipment was abandoned, and they were even inferior to militia. The Qing Dynasty, known as the founding of the country of bows and horses, was overthrown by the British and French troops! Therefore, until modern times, the hand-to-hand combat ability of soldiers was still very important!

The army is a whole, and organizational degree, training degree and fighting will are important components of combat power! This cannot be compensated by weapons!

The Zhennan Army had a large number of gunmen, accounting for a large proportion. In addition to training firearms, the important thing is hand-to-hand training.

Xiao Ruxun attaches great importance to hand-to-hand training at any time. He told the soldiers that when all firearms are de-effective, it rains that day, when the gunpowder is used up and down, and when the firearms are damaged, the steel knife in your hand is your last glimmer of hope!

Every soldier in Zhennan Army must become a soldier who dares to fight with one hand and one hand. Everyone must have the courage to not be afraid of any enemy! As well as the fighting spirit and belief in defeating any enemy!

After dropping the firearms, they can fight hand-to-hand. They are first-class hand-to-hand fighters. Even gunmen and gunners have hand-to-hand training every day and have training to fight hard. They usually use combat swords and cooperate with shield soldiers and gunners, and their lethality increases exponentially.

But the Northern Lu didn't know!
