Chapter 122 Three Strikes

Less than two miles away, it was only a moment for Xing Tianjun, who was pushing forward. As they got closer and closer, the villagers who had just finished the whole team immediately felt strong pressure and rushed to them, showing a look of fear, and there were bursts of waves in the team from time to time. *.

Fortunately, there is also a patrol in Xiangyongzhong who has been suppressing them and cheering them up. Otherwise, I'm afraid that some of them may be scared by Xing Tianjun coming to them.

Even so, as Xing Tianjun got closer and closer to them, they could gradually see the faces of the generals of Xing Tianjun. The generals of Xing Tianjun squeezed their lips tightly one by one, without any expression on their faces, but silently holding the weapons in their hands and stepping on the drums step by step under their feet. As he marched forward, he also took care of his comrades on his left and right sides, and always kept the queue. Only this sense of pressure emanating from this has also scared many villagers to be at a loss.

Xing Tianjun went to the battle this time, and there were also many new recruits who had just finished training from the new barracks for a short time. These people were deliberately placed at the front of the team according to the usual practice, and the experienced soldiers were arranged at the back of the queue. For them, months of recruit training made them familiar with it. After the transformation of the queue, they are also proficient in some skills of fighting on the battlefield. Many of them have even seen battles. However, on the way from Shaanxi, they mainly take on some auxiliary operations and have not really done it to people. The only difference between them and veterans is that so far, They haven't really seen a hit, and this battle is also quite a lot of psychological pressure for them. It is also for this reason that Xiao Tianjian deliberately arranged them in front of the team, so that they can really see blood in this battle, and really grow into a group of toughness in this battle. Soldier.

Although these new recruits still showed some of their nervousness when they were getting closer and closer to the battlefield, the long and rigorous training and rain-falling military sticks made them have formed a mechanical instinct to execute orders. Although they were nervous, they still automatically and strictly followed the orders silently. Silently executing the order, it did not cause the queue to produce a little ** because of nervousness.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, but Xiao Tianjian, who is in the array, has never given the order to stop moving forward, so the drummer in the array is still beating the marching drum rhythmically, making the Xing Tianjun's array advance like a wall.

Finally, the officers and soldiers who operated several artillery in front of the two armies approaching 200 steps of the army finally couldn't stand the increasing spiritual pressure and ignited the artillery one after another.

The cannons placed by the officers and soldiers in front of the battle are just a few tiger squatting guns or medium-sized Fran machine guns. Needless to say, the distance of 200 steps can't reach the Xing Tianjun at all. After the eldest son flew out a hundred steps, he hit the ground, and only raised a ball of dust, not to mention the little lead, dozens of steps away, Without power, those who flew farther could not fall into the Xing Tianjun's array. Although the Furang machine gun could barely reach the Xing Tianjun's array, after the shell hit the Xing Tianjun's array, it had basically lost its power, let alone expect that there would be jumps. So after a few cannons were released, only Xing Tianjun was killed. The two soldiers in the front row basically did not cause too much damage to the Xingtian Army, and the casualties of the two soldiers did not disrupt the array of the Xingtian Army. The whole array of the Xingtian Army still maintained abnormal neatness and slowly pushed forward like a mountain.

And when Xiao Tianjian saw the opposite officers and soldiers firing cannons, there was a sne smile on the corners of his mouth. No wonder there are many idiots among the officers and soldiers. From their shooting at such a long distance, it can be seen the level of the officers and soldiers's usual training. After this round of guns is released, at best, it is to strengthen their courage for them. And it can't stop Xing Tianjun's progress at all.

So he squeezed his lips, still did not order to stop moving forward, and continued to lead his troops forward step by step.

After seeing their own people firing, the villagers on the side of the army began to cheer and cheer for themselves up. However, after the smoke dissipated, they found that the thieves on the opposite side seemed to be nothing, and they were still walking towards them step by step without stopping at all, so they were immediately discouraged. Just now A little morale that was agitated suddenly declined again.

Those officers and soldiers who operated the cannons fired the gun, but found that they had hit early, so they hurriedly reloaded it. The Fran machine gun was not only a little better. The loading was very fast. After shooting the fired gun, they could put in a new gun and prepare for launch, but those tiger squatting guns were in big trouble. A group of busy officers and soldiers were in a hurry and didn't finish reloading for a long time.

However, Xing Tianjun gained momentum. After entering a distance of 200 steps, he accelerated the pace of the march, and the drummer's drums also became rapid. The soldiers were full of energy and strode forward with the drums, which soon brought the distance between the two armies a lot closer.

"One hundred and twenty steps... one hundred steps... eighty steps..." A personal guard began to report the distance between the two armies beside Xiao Tian's fitness. When he shouted 80 steps, Xiao Tianjian immediately raised his right hand and clenched his fist in the air.

"Stop moving forward!" A pro-guard shouted hysterically in the army.

After the drummer hit three drum beats heavily, all the soldiers adjusted their pace and stopped with a bang. The first row of rattan players then raised the rattan cards in their hands and formed a shield array in front of the array to cover their bodies.

"Fireman opens fire! The artillery team is out!" Xiao Tianjian also grabbed the rein immediately, stopped the march, and then ordered in a low voice.

The trumpet immediately blew a few short trumpets. The firemen on both sides of the queue then put down the bird's rifle in their hands from their shoulders and began to ignite the fire rope with their portable fire folds. They stuck on the bird's faucet, and the mouth of the rifle flattened and opened the lid of the medicine pool and put the butt of the gun against their shoulders.

Just now, before the team set off, the firemen filled up the firemen to save the preparation time for the first round of launch. After receiving the order, they didn't need to fill the bird gun at all. With the order of the little officer in the first row, they pulled down the dragon head at the same time. A row of flames spewed out on both sides of the Xingtian army array and a piece of gunpowder smoke.

After readjustment, Xingtian's firearms are now concentrated in the four corners of the phalanx, and there are 100 firearms in each corner, 20 people in each row, divided into five columns.

As soon as the first row of firearms had finished firing, no one looked at the opposite side and observed their shooting effect. They quickly squeezed sideways to the back row and gave way to the second row of firearms, while the second row of firearms immediately raised the bird gun, aimed at the enemy on the opposite side, and pulled down the faucet with the fire rope...

The reason why Xiao Tianjian stopped moving forward in 80 steps this time was that he wanted to test the power of a batch of new birds that had just been installed in the army, and also to test the combat effectiveness of this phalanx.

After more than two months after the year of Yang Changshou's intense work in Shuangfengzhai, the first batch of 200 new bird spears have been delivered to the military, which is also the first time for their new bird spears, so Xiao Tianjian is now eager to observe the power of this new bird spear.

For this new bird gun, fire gun players like it very much, but they think it's a little too heavy, but the bird gun after installing a pole does not make them too much difficulty. Although it is a new bird gun, the principle is no different from the original bird gun, so they quickly adapt to this new one. In the operation of bird gun, the first batch of paper shells were also distributed to them. Each fire gun hand was assigned a leather box with a lid, which can hold 30 paper shell bullets. Although the number is small, it is enough for these fire gunners to use in one battle, and there are also some of them in the army. Soldiers are specially responsible for providing spare ammunition for the firearms between the battle, so the firearms are not in the case of exhaustion.

After a preliminary trial of the new bird shell, the fire hand found that this kind of paper shell bullet is easier to take and fill than the previous bamboo barrel. They just need to bite off one end of the paper shell bullet, pour the gunpowder into the gun, and then put the remaining projectile into the barrel, pound it with a stick, and then use the medicine pot to guide it. Pour the gunpowder into the medicine pool, cover the lid of the medicine pool and light the fire rope to prepare for launch. The efficiency is much higher than the conventional loading speed. After Xiao Tianjian personally operated the test, he came to a conclusion that after a skilled fireman uses a paper shell bomb, the loading speed can completely reach the speed of two minutes and three rounds, that is, Even if it is an ordinary fireman, after training for a period of time, he can do it one by one.

So he lined up the fireman in five columns and shot in a similar way to a three-stage attack. Basically, he can achieve the continuity of firepower in offensive operations. Within a minute, five rows of firemans can complete a round of aiming and launch and prepare for the next round of launch.

It's just that in the experiment, the feeling of the butt kicking the shoulder is very strong, which is a little difficult to grasp, but Xiao Tianjian certainly knows that after increasing the caliber, the amount of charge has been greatly increased, which makes the recoil force increase by one or twice when firing. If there is no greater recoil when firing, then It's really strange. This also shows that the power of this new bird is much higher than that of the previous miscellaneous bird, which is exactly what he needs to achieve.

Today, the first thing he faces is some villagers. These villagers' braves are poorly equipped and basically have no armor. In the face of Xing Tianjun's new bird, 80 steps can already constitute a great killing to them. When Xiao Tianjian tested this new bird in Shuangfengzhai, this new bird is in a There is no problem with a person who can overturn a person who is not armored in a hundred steps. If you put it in eighty steps, you don't have to worry about the lack of power.

And eighty steps are beyond the effective range of the enemy's tiger squat gun. After all, they are arranged in a dense formation. If the scattered bullets of the enemy's tiger squat gun are given a few cannons, even if the front platoon of the Xingtian Army will wear armor, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist such a bombardment. So for him, eighty steps is already the closest distance for him to carry forward their firepower advantage.
