Chapter 77 Self-chaotic

The entire front of the Revolutionary Army was pressing forward together, including the Folang machine cannon and the tiger squat cannon. Although the speed was not fast or slow, the neat steps brought a strong sense of oppression. It was the first time that the Ming army faced this linear queue with integrated gun steps. Many people's faces changed, and they couldn't help but slowly retreat with their guns.

In fact, the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army were not as calm as they appeared. After all, they walked steadily with guns, neither charging nor running to relieve their inner fears, nor using terrain to cover them. The opposite side was a living enemy with guns and cannons, which was completely different from the usual training.

The approaching step by step was not only an oppression of the Ming army, but also a question of oneself. The strings on the mind gradually became tense!

It’s thanks to Li Xin’s repeated indoctrination of the word “obedience” during training. He did not require soldiers to have thoughts, souls, or even blood and courage. He only required obedience. Any command from his superiors would rush in even a sea of ​​swords and fires!

At the same time, there are boring, mechanical charging, bullet-up, aiming and shooting.

Li Xin's training of soldiers was different from any era in the past, and from Qi Jiguang, who was regarded as the god of war. The experiences and tactics of famous generals of all dynasties were almost abandoned by him. He actually wanted to talk about dedication and ideology with his soldiers, but this was the late Ming Dynasty. Those who said it was too irrelevant. Since he could not brainwash soldiers in the name of ideology, his ultimate goal was to train his soldiers into serf soldiers similar to those of European lords, and do whatever they asked him to do.

However, when conditions are ripe, he will open a non-commissioned officer school to train officer talents from the grassroots level.

"Don't retreat, anyone who retreats will be killed!"

Shi Kefa shouted loudly.

After all, the power of the tiger was still alive. The Ming army looked at each other and stopped retreating one after another.

But he stopped and Shi Kefa didn't know what to do. If he attacked, let alone the soldiers, he felt cold in his heart. If he retreated, what should eunuch Zhang and the navy do?

He was just a civil servant and led the army to fight based on his imagination. Not to mention that compared with Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng and others, he was far inferior to Li Xianfeng, Yang Sichang, Baoding Governor Yang Wenyue, Shaanxi Governor Ding Qirui and others.

Shi Kefa couldn't help looking at Xu Shao.

Xu Shao was also quite embarrassed. Shi Kefa might not care. On the way, he heard the soldiers complaining, some of whom were owed wages, some of whom were hard-working in the marching, and some of whom were working for the court in vain. It was boring. Who would like to fight against the thieves!

Some people even envy the thieves who burned, killed, robbed, and plundered women. They were so happy!

The generals usually drink soldiers' blood, but dare not ask too much about their subordinates' complaints, pretending not to hear them, for fear of provoking their subordinates' resentment, and being murdered during wars. This kind of thing has not happened.

There was a chaotic battlefield, and no one could confirm who fired the cold gun. The superiors could not pursue the culprit for the sake of a dead person. Most of them turned a blind eye and just lived a mediocre life. In addition, Chongzhen, who was eager for quick success and instant benefits, arrested the Xinjiang ministers back to Beijing for execution without wishing. Gradually, a consensus was reached in the court and the public that if they did not do well, the more they did, the more they were wrong.

Moreover, the relationship between the generals of the Ming army and ordinary soldiers was probably not even comparable to the chaotic times of the Five Dynasties. The Five Dynasties became the trend of defeating the superiors. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a unified court. Since the Song Dynasty, it has emphasized culture and military affairs, and grassroots soldiers have at least some concerns, which has led to the method of defeating the superiors becoming more and more secret and vicious.

Therefore, the generals were not happy to fight, and everyone hoped to save their lives.

It would be fine if the bandits on the opposite side were mobs, but they were terrible. Since the war started, five ships have sunk, the fleet has been trapped in the canal and is in a dilemma. Two red cannons were destroyed on land, and nearly a hundred artillery soldiers in the artillery camp died tragically!

"Or... Bei Zhi personally led the cavalry to rush in from the flanks, trying to destroy the red cannons of the bandits, but... Bei Zhi's family asked Cao Fu to take care of him!"

Xu Shao gritted his teeth and said.

There were only 300 cavalry in the entire army, and they used 300 cavalry to break through the tight military formation of the bandits. Even if Shi Kefa did not understand military affairs, he knew it was impossible. When he heard Xu Shao's words, he couldn't help but say sadly: "Premier Han is attacking Mengchengyi. Once he succeeds, the situation will be greatly improved. Could it be that the headquarters of the headquarters will be able to hold on for a while?

The generals felt very uncomfortable. Looking at Shi Kefa's sad and angry look, a sensation seemed to be about to break out of their chest. However, the general had the general's plan and the red cannons were gone. He might not be able to really drive the soldiers under his command to fight bravely. He could not get on his own, right?

For a moment, no one spoke, but instead he looked at Shi Kefa and dared not go to see him.

"Hey!"

Shi Kefa exclaimed in pain.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

But suddenly, some string broke, and his soldiers actually started fire, spreading rapidly from one or two gunshots. The sound of gunshots was mixed with the sound of cannons. From bird guns, three-eyed guns, rut guns, thunder cannons, to tiger squat cannons and Fran machine cannons, all the guns and cannons were fired.

At first glance, the smoke filled the gunpowder and the fire flashed, which was spectacular, but the two sides were still a distance away, and they had completely fired empty guns.

However, the Ming army's sudden firing of guns and cannons still scared the revolutionary army. The neatly arranged military formations appeared in chaos. Some continued to move forward, some stopped moving, and some even took out flints to light the fire and fired.

Although Erju was so silly in front of Li Xin, he looked like a fool, but at this time, he rushed forward with an electric step, whipped hard on the back of a soldier who took out the flint, and cursed: "Damn, who told you to light the fire? Is there any order?"

The soldier's back felt aching and immediately woke up, responded embarrassedly, and put away the flint.

"Go ahead and keep moving forward!"

"Damn, do you want to be praised?"

There are also constant beatings and scolding elsewhere, and the Forward Battalion and the Personal Guard Company are temporarily the supervisor. These people are very powerful, ruthless, and fierce. They usually suffer many soldiers under their hands. They are instinctively scared, and they make mistakes first and admit that they are beaten.

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, the Ming army is in chaos. It is the time when our army attacks. We must not miss the opportunity, and we will never come again!"

Seeing the team maintaining, Li Shengde, the leader of the Musketball Group, said to Hong Niangzi.

The Hongniang nodded and waved his hand and said, "The government army is in chaos and panic. This is the best time for our revolutionary army to defeat the government army. The whole army obeys the orders and runs forward. The artillery battalion suddenly unfolds three hundred steps, and the cavalry and the vanguard battalion immediately rush forward!"

"Get orders!"

As long as you win a little, you know that the Ming army has become disarray and will not miss the chance to win for free. They are all in a hurry!

"kill!"

"Capture Shi Kefa alive!"

"Capture Shi Kefa alive!"

The soldiers of the vanguard battalion, wearing two layers of heavy armor, left the formation with hundreds of cavalry first, rushed towards the Ming army opposite. Two musket regiments followed closely behind and shouted loudly, which was really shocking.

Li Xin was still on the boat, looking at the chaos on the shore, and knew that the battle had come to an end!
Chapter completed!
