The number of gunmen protected by their comrades is about one-third of the entire phalanx. If the soldiers holding shields or spears are specialized in defense, then they are specialized in offense.
of.
In the sky above the phalanx, almost as soon as the Li people shouted, a white mist rose up. This was the smoke produced when a firecracker was fired. The smoke produced when a firecracker was fired can almost be ignored.
, but when dozens of firecrackers are fired at the same time, the smoke is quite considerable.
The most direct effect of this considerable white mist is to block Qian Wubing's sight. The figures of the dozen mercenaries who quickly detoured to the left side of the square and tried to launch an attack were completely submerged in the white mist.
Can't see clearly.
Before the white mist dissipated, the second round of firecrackers sounded again. Qian Wubing could see clearly now. It turned out that the firecrackers in the phalanx were divided into two teams by the bearded commander.
After shooting, the other team fired again. At the same time, the gunmen who had finished shooting were taking advantage of this gap to quickly load ammunition.
Qian Wubing secretly calculated in his mind that a skilled gunman could fire three times in about one stick of incense from loading projectiles to firing, and divided into two teams. Although the firepower became weaker, the efficiency was still high.
It has been increased by two times. Within one stick of incense, the phalanx's fire gunners can strike six times at the enemy.
What if there are not two teams, but three teams, four teams, or even five or six teams? Qian Wubing's heart moved slightly. In this case, wouldn't it be possible to shoot without stopping one after another, and wait until the last team finishes shooting?
The first team to shoot has already loaded the ammunition and is ready to shoot. If these people can think of dividing into two teams, how could they not think of dividing into more teams?
This flash of inspiration on the battlefield did not waste much time. At the moment, Qian Wubing did not intend to bring the bearded commander over to ask what happened. A gust of wind blew over his head, and the white mist above the phalanx changed into
It was much thinner. Qian Wubing quickly gathered his energy and looked towards the middle of the battlefield.
Quiet, deathly quiet!
Where the gunman fired two rounds, there was no one standing. The mercenaries who rushed from the city gate and held their weapons high had already reached the halfway point. They were all staring at the situation in front of them with their mouths open.
I don’t know whether to continue to attack or to turn around and escape into the city!
The bearded commander issued another order. Qian Wubing couldn't understand it, but these Li soldiers obviously understood it. The entire square moved slightly, and then seemed to expand, and the soldiers all
Qi took a few steps toward the outside of the phalanx, and the size of the phalanx suddenly became much larger.
The mercenaries who were knocked to the ground by the gunmen were also enveloped by the expanding phalanx at this moment. The dozen or so bravest mercenaries, except for the first few, were beaten into sieves and died immediately.
In addition to the others, the few people behind were still struggling underground. At this moment, they were at the feet of the soldiers in the phalanx.
There was no movement among the soldiers in the phalanx. Qian Wubing only saw a wave of figures shaking, and the sound of struggling and shouting stopped abruptly. At this moment, he even felt that the hairs on the back of his neck stood up.
Got up.
He was so stunned that at this moment, he really felt that the phalanx was like a living creature that just swallowed these people.
The bearded commander gave another order, and the phalanx immediately returned to its original state. However, the mercenaries underground were all dead.
Looking at the city gate again, the mercenaries who were clearly inspired by Ruian to live or die have never seen such a scene. The most they usually do is you stab and I shoot.
Fighting, life and death, victory or defeat all depends on one's own ability. How could they have the chance to meet this kind of war machine that seems to be able to crush them.
"Where's Ruian? Ruian ran away!" He turned back to look for his leader and found that Ruian and his confidants, who had just shouted "Fight them", had long since disappeared from the city gate. There had just been a chaos.
, no one noticed where they slipped away.
Then he looked at the phalanx that had raised its shields from the ground and began to slowly press towards the city gate. Looking at the spears with claws and claws and the firecrackers in the phalanx that seemed to have been prepared again, these servants
The courage of the soldiers suddenly dissipated very quickly like the snow in June. They were not afraid of death or fighting, but in this kind of battle, even if they risked their lives, they would not be able to reach others, and they could only be beaten to death like rabbits.
, they really don’t want to fight at all.
Some people's eyes wandered around, looking at both sides of the city gate, as if they were planning to find a way out from here, while others quietly shrank behind their companions and prepared to run towards the city. More people
, but you looked at me, and I looked at you, with fear in my eyes.
"Put down your weapons and kneel down without killing!" A familiar voice came from the phalanx, and then the voice that had just harvested more than a dozen of their companions rang out again: "First team of fire guns, prepare!"
"Down, down! We're down!" I don't know who started it. With a clang, he dropped the battle ax in his hand on the ground, and then knelt down without any hesitation. Others were still hesitating.
The mercenaries, almost as a conditioned reflex, also dropped their weapons one by one. In the blink of an eye, the city gate was covered with darkness and they were kneeling on the ground.
Everyone's gunmen are ready. If you don't do anything wrong, you may be the next one to be beaten! At this moment, these mercenaries have almost the same thoughts in their minds. As for what happens next, who cares about them?
Anyway, it was Ruian who led them to do it, and it is Ruian's business to investigate, whether it's Olivia or that Mingguo person, they also need to employ people, so they can't kill all of them!
Two groups of people were separated from the spear hands, and soon the weapons on the ground were separated from the kneeling people. Qian Wubing noticed that there were three or four people, vaguely familiar faces, who were surrounded by these Li soldiers.
They were pulled aside alone.
The bearded man walked over, asked a few words in a low voice, then turned around and walked towards the slope where Qian Wubing was. Behind him, the few mercenaries who were pulled aside alone had not yet
After reacting, they were mercilessly stabbed to death by the spearmen surrounding them. This situation made the mercenaries kneeling on the ground stir up a commotion again. However, the spearmen around them
The fire gun quickly calmed down the commotion!
"Sir!" The bearded man came over and saluted Qian Wubing. Qian Wubing seemed to remember that this bearded man was called Richie.
"The mob is vulnerable!" Big Beard smiled and said to Qian Wubing, "How to deal with these people, please tell me!"
"Let's take a look first. After Olivia clears the whole city, let's deal with them together!" Qian Wubing nodded and walked down the slope: "By the way, Richie, haven't those people surrendered already?
, why did you execute them again?”
"The weapons those people dropped were short-fire blunderbuss. In this battle, the only loss my army suffered was caused by the opponent's fire blunderbuss. Since they didn't admit that they shot it, I didn't bother to tell the difference. I might as well
Let’s kill together!” Richie shrugged his shoulders, as if he was saying something completely normal.
"Oh!" Qian Wubing nodded. At this time, he also remembered the familiar face. Aren't these the two fire gunmen who were walking around in front of him? It seems that Olivia also introduced
Yes, it's a pity to call it Brothers Grimm or something like that!
These Li people are probably very good at killing people, but they are a little at a loss as to how to deal with these captives. Perhaps, in their habits, they do not have the habit of keeping captives at all. Qian Wubing knelt down when he saw this
The guys on the ground thought about it and were still a little worried: "Cut off their belts, tie them up, and then let them squat there!"
So, soon, a group of mercenaries were tied up and squatted together. Seeing that even though they were tied, they were still holding their pants with their tied hands, Qian Wubing smiled slightly.
The shouts of killing in the city lasted for more than an hour. Just as Ruian expected, the city was finished. It was already riddled with holes, and Olivia brought hundreds of Maori soldiers inside.
After a lot of trouble, Tottori Castle is really unsightly.
When Olivia walked out of the city with Mao Li Hongyuan, Qian Wubing was pretending to be serious with his hands behind his back. Now that the overall situation had been decided, he talked to Richie about the problem he had just thought of, and divided the musketeers into
More teams, shoot in turn.
Rich Beard was immediately shocked by Qian Wubing. The expression on his face made Qian Wubing smile a little. He thought the Li soldiers were all straightforward men, but he didn't expect to start patting the horse.
Come on, there is a way.
That expression is so fake!
Later, Luka was still on the side and explained the reason to Qian Wubing. Qian Wubing believed that this was completely possible, but in the eyes of others, it may not be such an easy thing. Just the number of firecrackers doubled.
, it is not something that people can afford casually, let alone the training of the gunman, the gunpowder, projectiles, and other things that are consumed, add up, the money spent is not a small amount.
The Li people were not considered a dependent family in the Roman Empire. They lived a tight life. How could they get the money to do this? Even if they had a little more money, they could train more warriors and use ancestral battle formations to deal with the enemy.
It's enough, use it
Are they building this hugely expensive Roman battle formation? Besides, the population of the Li people is not abundant in the first place. All the young and strong warriors from the whole clan together can only number 3,000. In comparison, it is just a larger Roman phalanx.
That's it, there's absolutely no need for it.
Therefore, this is not a question of what is imaginable or unexpected, it is purely a question of whether there are so many resources and whether it is worth spending these resources on it.
However, now that Qian Wubing has thought about it, all these problems no longer become a problem. The number of fire gunmen protected by their colleagues is about one-third of the entire phalanx. If it is those holding shields
Or if the soldiers holding spears are specialized in defense, then they are specialized in offense.
In the sky above the phalanx, almost as soon as the Li people shouted, a white mist rose up. This was the smoke produced when a firecracker was fired. The smoke produced when a firecracker was fired can almost be ignored.
