Chapter 358: Careful Close-up Fight

After saying this, the atmosphere below was already incited. After a moment of pause, the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion of the Left of the Gang outside the city shouted and rushed out.

In the Jiaozhou camp, the military pay and treatment of musket soldiers are generally one and a half or twice as high as those of spear soldiers. In addition to the fact that musket soldiers are troops with high technical requirements, they are also soldiers who participate in close combat. Musket soldiers are one of the most qualified soldiers in the Jiaozhou camp.

On the path northwest of the battlefield, musket soldiers had already dropped their muskets and blocked the path with large shields and stinging swords. Behind them were layered spear soldiers, who slightly raised some places with earth and wood in the gaps in the array. The musket soldiers were just here, holding muskets with wooden forks to prepare for shooting.

The officers and soldiers near the river could feel the burning heat coming from the fire boats in the river when they burned, and there was no need to mention the smoke and dust. Many people were choked and coughed.

Looking at the depths of these paths, the figure of He Yilong's subordinates finally appeared. However, they were not individual groups. The first row was pushing the chariots forward, which happened to cover the soldiers behind them.

The ships on the river of Huai Yang Army naturally cannot do without the soldiers holding thick bamboo poles to hold the fire boat, but this time they also made preparations in advance. The bow of each ship was four or five thick bamboo poles, with iron wrapped in front and half fixed at the bow. These warships and ships were anchored in the water, which was equivalent to being stable there.

The fire boat went downstream, which was to hit the bamboo pole. The firewood on the wooden boat was poured with oil and burned very quickly. As long as it was blocked, it would burn down soon.

However, the main significance of the fire ship that He Yilong put down on the upstream was not to attack the ships of the official army. The weather was not strong, and the burning smoke was filled with it. It had already affected the emotions of the officers and soldiers.

Chen Liu's eyes were already filled with tears. As the throttles gradually approached, he knew that there must be some problems in his arrangement and responded to them. He shouted loudly:

"The artillery is adjusted and the cart is destroyed..."

The shouts of killing from the east gate of Yingshang City were already loud. The officer in front had sent someone to send a message and shouted:

"Mr. Chen, this thief rushed over again!!"

Although the thieves were desperate people, they could organize a second attack after suffering such great pain, which was really not in line with the convention. This time, the battle between the Fifth Battalion of the Gleaders and the officers and soldiers was indeed determined to fight this time regardless of the losses.

The officers and non-commissioned officers from all fronts of the Huai Yang Army shouted at the top of their voices, stabilizing the formation and resisting the opponent's second attack. Although the enemy was vicious, the soldiers of the Huai Yang Army were not afraid, because the battle just now had proved that such a fierce attack could be resisted.

The key is the flank in the northwest direction. If the enemy rushed in from this direction, everything would be over. But in this direction, the firearms and tactics of the Huai Yang Army were not fully utilized, not to mention that the thick smoke on the river was rolling, affecting the sight.

The big shields in front of the lorry that He Yilong pushed over were all hung on the big shields. The path itself was narrow, and there was such a lorry pushing in front. The soldiers of the Griyan battalion were all huddled behind. Some people kept protruding from the back of the lorry with muskets and bows and arrows, looking at how far away the officers and soldiers were.

Chen Liu stood on the platform and was stimulated by the thick smoke. The arrangement of the Fifth Battalion of the G Zuo actually made the Huai Yang Army attack everywhere at this moment. This was also helpless. After all, the Huai Yang Army was an elite military route and relied heavily on firearms. Although the Fifth Battalion of the G Zuo only had three battalions here, the number of people was far greater than that of the Huai Yang Army.

He wiped his tears and shouted loudly:

"The musketeers in the back team were holding swords and shields to take the lead. Be wary on the shore and don't mobilize the artillery. They are still facing Yingshang City!!"

"The first row does not move. Continue to move forward, lean tighter. Reach tighter!!"

The officers on the northwest road gave loud orders, watching the other party pushing the cart gradually approaching, and they could only avoid the other party's tactics from dispersing themselves.

The slinger entered the range, and the musket soldiers standing high on both sides of the intersection had already started to fire, but the fierce muskets hit the sandbag at most would open a hole, but there was no damage.

The formation cannot be messed up. Although this has brought combat power and power to the soldiers and horses of the Jiaozhou Camp system, some opportunities have been lost here.

I could only watch the other party pushing the lorry over. Behind the lorry on each road were musketeers and archers from the Fifth Battalion of Ge Zuo, and gradually they entered their range.

The archers in the fifth camp of Gezuo Camp also had an elevation angle to shoot. The soldiers holding firearms did not dare to show their heads. The ground-fire guns in their hands were not as powerful and accurate as the opponent's heavy smoothbore guns, but the bows and arrows had already caused trouble to the spearmen of the Huai Yang Army.

But through a cart, he shot upward again, and the power was just that. He pushed forward a few steps, but he stopped. While pushing, there were no more bows or muskets coming. It was obvious that the formation and team were adjusted, and the Huai Yang Army muskets on both sides of the road entrance still fired in turn.

However, the space is too small, and the muskets of the muskets are heavy, so it is inconvenient to rotate. When there are still about ten steps away, the muskets of the muskets hit the shield of the oar, which will only stir up smoke and dust at most. However, because the distance is relatively close, it can already hit the refugee soldiers behind from the angle and start to cause damage, but this distance is already close enough.

You could hear the chariot behind the chariot, and the chariot's movement speed suddenly accelerated a lot, and it hit the officers' and soldiers' fronts.

The huge lorry rushed over so fiercely. The soldiers holding the shield and the sword felt that it was not good. They could not collide with each other face to face. More than ten people were pushed behind the lorry, and the heavy lorry increased the lorry.

Almost subconsciously, the soldiers holding swords and shields rolled towards both sides, and at several intersections, they called out loudly with fast-reacting officers and non-commissioned officers:

"The spear is flat!!"

The spears of the soldiers in the front row were immediately laid flat, and more than a dozen spears immediately had flat fingers and collided with the sling. The spear soldiers in the first row had a huge impact on the opposite side. They felt that their bodies could not control their balance and fell directly towards the back, but rows were closely connected, and the people behind could not stop them.

The spear line that was headed at the intersection only took a few steps back, but it still maintained it.

But there were also two soldiers holding swords and shields in front of the intersection rolling towards both sides. The spearmen behind were not yet able to lay flat and were directly hit by a cart. The originally incomplete spearmen formation suddenly collapsed.

As soon as the van rushed in, the refugee soldiers following behind followed suit. They were all elites of He Yilong, dressed up in short clothes, wearing straw sandals, holding knives and axes in their hands, rushed in and chopped and killed.

The only attack the scattered spearmen can do at present is to use the spear pole to beat it, but when they meet in close contact, they can take advantage of it and are immediately chopped to the ground.

According to Caodian, the spear soldiers of Jiaozhou camp all wore short swords and stabbing swords. However, this time the light soldiers advanced rapidly and required three days of dry food and did not bring any extra things as much as possible. As a result, some spear soldiers were smart enough to not take this second weapon, which was also because the spear soldiers had basically suffered no losses in the battle.

These soldiers of the Huai Yang Army were a little careless, but at this time, the close forces were connected and the spear in their hands could withstand the close fighting of those refugee soldiers without forming a formation.

What's even more troublesome is that several other intersections rushed in, but the blocked intersection was attacked by several directions, so they could only retreat. Ge Li was attracted by He Yilong's troops and horses began to rush into the Huaiyang Army's front.

The smoke filled the sky, and the sound of killing behind him was shocking. The musketeers behind the low wall were a little panicked when they had passed such a scene for the first time, and the shooting effect was much worse.

Chen Liu stood on the platform, his eyes stinging and crying, but he was still staring at the battle around him desperately. His face was already ashen. Who would have thought that he would suffer such a great loss when he arranged everything everywhere.

The following generals were a little anxious, and one of them shouted:

"Mr. Chen, there are still several battalions on the ship. Please transfer it down and fight!!"

"Turn your grandma. With such a big needle hole, what kind of soldiers can move away? Tell the side of the low wall that they will just take care of the thieves on the opposite side, and they don't have to worry about the rest. If they are confused, the military law will be ruthless. Personal soldiers, come with me!!"

The northwest battle was fierce, but it was still in a stalemate. The personal soldiers hurriedly went to the front to send an order. Chen Liu untied his cloak, picked up a wide-blade axe in his hand, and took the personal soldiers to prepare to join the battle.
