Chapter 22: A wave of defeat

Cao Hu's decision was in line with Wu Changqing's mind, and he also commanded the army to greet him.

However, a closer look reveals that there is still a difference in the speed of the two sides. The Qing army moved faster, and the rebels moved more neatly.

When the distance between the two sides was less than two hundred meters, Wu Changqing ordered to stop advancing and prepare to shoot.

Because of the limited width of the battlefield, the rebels lined up in three rows, about 300 people in each row, using three shots.

Soldiers in the first row immediately retreated to the back to reload after firing. Soldiers in the second row fired again, and then the third row followed.

In this way, although the density of firepower will be reduced, the continuity of firepower can be maintained. It's just that it is not easy for the three-stage shooting to cooperate well. They have been training for ten days, and they can only be considered barely qualified.

Some people are slow to reload, which will affect the speed of the entire team. This is also no way. The reality is not a war game. You can train your soldiers into good soldiers with one click of training.

In reality, one can only rely on time to become a good soldier. Even some soldiers whose brains are not bright enough, no matter how you train them, they will never become good soldiers.

Pia's gunshot sounded, and Cao Hu simply laughed and said: "Sure enough, it was a mob. They shot at such a distance, completely out of focus. Will they have a chance to reload next? Order the charge."

Cao Hu didn't understand how Zhang Yuqin and others were defeated by such a mob.

A distance of more than one hundred meters can be rushed in at most 20 or 30 seconds. In the old-fashioned firecrackers, thirty seconds is not even enough to load ammunition once.

As soon as the charge order was given, there was another gunshot on the battlefield.

However, Cao Hu still didn't care, his army rushed up.

In the course of the charge, more than a dozen Qing troops have fallen. However, this casualty is still completely within their tolerance.

However, as the distance gets closer, the more Qing troops fall.

Moreover, the gunshots they expected disappeared but never appeared, and the gunshots continued.

How is this going?

Many soldiers were playing drums in their hearts, but in the process of charging, they didn't have time to think too much, they could only instinctively follow the command of the chief of the army.

In the blink of an eye, they were already less than ten meters away from the rebels, and they were about to meet in hand.

At this time, many soldiers in the rebel army began to get nervous. Everyone is afraid of melee. Once a scuffle occurs, whether you can survive or not depends on luck.

"The last volley."

Wu Changqing sat on the horse and shouted.

Subsequently, three rows of soldiers squeezed together at the same time, raising their guns and shooting. After shooting, the spear was pushed forward, ready for hand-to-hand combat.

However, their preparation seems to be a little redundant.

In the final round of volley, nearly a thousand rounds were fired, and the distance was less than ten meters.

For the first time on the land of China, there was a scene of queuing to be shot. The Qing troops who rushed in front almost all fell, with more than 300 people.

This picture of hundreds of people falling together frightened the Qing army behind, even if they were only ten meters away from the rebels, no one dared to move forward.

The soldiers who were not hit in the fatal part were wailing, and the screams were so miserable and miserable.

Some timid and clever people had already turned around and fled immediately. This is a fart. The enemy's hair hasn't even touched, and there are nearly 400 people on their side, nearly one third.

Who dares to participate in this kind of loss rate battle?

This is still a trivial matter. The key is that the scene of hundreds of people falling together is as terrifying as the end of the day. Soldiers who have never experienced such a tragedy can't bear this mentality at all.

As soon as the person in front turned and ran, those who did not understand the situation in the back subconsciously chose to follow suit. Even some bolder people were still rushing forward, but when they saw the corpses in front of them and the bright bayonets of the rebels, they were all shocked.

"Blow the whistle, start a charge."

Wu Changqing gave an order, and immediately some soldiers picked up an iron whistle and blew it. This was much more convenient than Lingqi.

At the rear on the other side, Cao Hu was dumbfounded when he saw the scene where his own soldier fell, and he did not order to stop the soldier when he collapsed.

He has fallen into a situation where he is at a loss, and he doesn't know how to deal with this sudden situation.

"No retreat, no retreat, continue to rush."

Only a few hundred households are still shouting loudly. Although they are suffering heavy casualties now, they still have the upper hand in terms of numbers. Moreover, as long as they rushed up for hand-to-hand combat, their melee experience would be richer.

But these are useless. Soldiers and officers have completely different ideas. The officer only wants to win. As for the number of soldiers lost, it is a number, and they can be recruited after the loss.

The first thing the soldier considers is his own life. Victory is just an incidental pursuit. If the possibility of death in battle is too great, they will not be willing to exchange their lives for victory.

Anyway, the battle is won, and the benefits are basically the officials, and they don't share much.

Morale is very important whether it is a battle in the age of cold weapons or a battle in the age of hot weapons.

The morale of the Qing army plummeted, but they clearly still had the strength but only wanted to escape. However, they were so embarrassed that it gave the rebels a lot of confidence, which caused their morale to rise, and some soldiers who were originally afraid would feel that war was nothing but this.

They rushed up to chase in cooperation, and hunted down this kind of non-resisting army, which is probably the most popular thing for soldiers to do.

"Stay steady, **** me steady."

Some people wanted to save the situation, and a hundred households even rushed to fight with the rebels with their soldiers.

Their individual strength may be stronger than the Rebels, but the number is too small.

As soon as they rushed to the front of the rebels, bayonets stabbed in front and left and right. You can hide from one side, but you can't hide from the other side.

Soon, the Qing army that last resisted was also completely annihilated, and the Qing army entered a complete rout. Even Cao Hu and a few hundred households are beginning to take the lead in fleeing.

They all understand that when things have developed to this point, it will be hard to save the gods.

The Qing army fled in the front, and the rebels chased in the rear.

Some of the Qing troops who were not running fast, had weakened legs, and accidentally fell down were left behind. They were either stabbed to death or taken aside as prisoners.

However, these people also delayed the rebels' pursuit speed for a while.

Cao Hu just sighed in relief and wanted to stop to gather the remnants. As a result, another firecracker team appeared in front, although the number was only more than 300. But the Qing army, who had been frightened by the fire, did not dare to attack.

Immediately some Qing troops knelt to the ground very simply, letting them deal with them.

It's not that they don't want to escape, but they are really limited.

People in this era are generally malnourished, weak in body, and poor in physical strength. I just ran all the way for hundreds of meters, where there is still strength to run again.

If they continue to run, they will suffocate with foam even if no one is chasing them.

Some people with better physical strength began to flee to both sides. They just aren't sure if surrendering will be killed by torture. If they knew that there was no danger in surrendering, I'm afraid they would have sat down and rested.

Because Cao Hu has a horse to ride, he naturally has plenty of physical strength at this time. He also turned around with a few soldiers and ran to the west.

However, before they ran far, they discovered that there was also an army of more than 300 men to the west. Although this army is no longer holding a terrible firecracker, the exhausted Qing army has no fighting spirit at all.

Another group of Qing troops knelt and surrendered, and Cao Hu could only turn his horse's head and ran to the east.

Then, in the east, he encountered Wang Dayong's troops again.

Cao Hu immediately felt a whirlwind and fell off his horse. He was simply stunned. He would never have imagined that Wu Changqing would have so many troops, and all of them were drawn here to set himself ambush.
