In addition, the commander of the Dashun Army also reduced the troops back a distance. While avoiding artillery bombardment, he intended to contact the main position.

This small step back made Liu Pei feel very amazed! If he is not a long-time general in the army, he will definitely not be able to react. He also has to be bold and meticulous and capable of mastering the troops.

You know, it is not easy to retreat on the battlefield! Once the morale of the army is unstable, a small retreat will become a defeat, waiting to be chased!

But Liu Pei was not in a hurry. The opportunity he took to break the team up even further by the two sides, almost becoming a semicircle.

When the artillery arrived again and when they were yelling, they met the position again. Li Zicheng and others had already arrived at the old camp and took over the command of the entire army.

After accepting command, Li Zicheng's first order was to mobilize a group of superiors to go north with all their might, preparing to open up the connection with the large army. At the same time, he carried out a firm defense on the south and east sides!

At this time, Liu Pei had already deployed his troops and started a fierce attack from the side and back! Li Zicheng was not willing to be outdone and mobilized a large number of archers to fight back.

Li Zicheng's idea was to use archers as the main defensive force to delay Liu Pei's attack and use all his strength to open up the connection with the large army. Liu Pei asked the troops responsible for the division to defend the defense line, and he attacked with all his strength.

So the battle situation was extremely fierce once the two sides fought! Li Zicheng knew the power of Shandong's soldiers and firearms, so he mobilized most of the archers and bird gun soldiers, and relied on a small number of large chariots as cover to defend against Liu Pei's attack.

Liu Pei didn't want Li Zicheng and the large army to join forces, so he adopted a comprehensive approach to push up as soon as he came up! He also ordered the musket soldiers to conduct close-range shooting.

The first person to take action on the battlefield was the archers of the Dashun Army. With a command, a batch of colorful tail feathered arrows flew out of the Dashun Army formation! These feathered arrows were all used to test the distance.

Shortly after these feather arrows landed on the ground, they were stomping over by the musket soldiers. When the square formation stepped through the invisible lines formed by the feather arrow, it seemed like it had entered a hornet's nest and shot countless feathers from the Dashun Army's team.

Arrows come!

After these feather arrows flew to a high place, they turned around and slowly fell down, and rushed into the dense phalanx! The officers of the phalanx of the musket soldiers had already been guarding against this. Officers at all levels issued orders almost at the same time and shouted: "Look down! Lower your head! Put your arms together!"

These musketeers all wore helmets with hat brims. As long as they lowered their heads slightly, these feather arrows would not be shot on their heads and faces. And they were wearing plate armors with shoulder armor. As long as they shrank their arms back, they could minimize the possibility of being shot by feather arrows as much as possible!

As soon as the soldiers followed the order, the feather arrows fell down and fell down! However, the lethality of these feather arrows was not very good. After all, they were shot at the limit range, so when they flew closer, they were no longer powerful. Most of the feather arrows were shot on the armor and landed on the ground with a light bounce.

Only a small number of unlucky soldiers were shot in the arms, thighs and other positions. The soldiers who fell to the ground were immediately dragged to the rear to rescue. All the injured were vacant positions immediately by the people behind.

From the perspective of the Dashun Army, if one round of feather arrows goes down, the opponent's square formation is not at all chaotic, as if the other round of feather arrows just now have no effect!

The Dashun Army was unwilling to give up and did not believe that its feather arrows had no effect, so they immediately shot a second round of feather arrows!

This time the feather arrow is much more powerful and denser! After all, the phalanx of the musket soldiers has moved forward for more than ten steps, so more people were injured this time! But except for the few soldiers who were shot on their legs and couldn't walk, most of the soldiers still gritted their teeth and insisted on moving forward!

I heard the sound of drums on the Shandong soldiers and horses, and the footsteps of the soldiers spread out with the drums, as neatly as a mountain! Every step seemed to be stepping on the hearts of the soldiers of the Dashun Army opposite!

It is naturally impossible to get out of these momentums by walking alone, but when he walked up against two rains of arrows, the formation of the square formation was not at all messy, which would be very scary! If the Ming army had been in normal times, they would have been frightened by feather arrows and fired more than a hundred steps away, they would have been fired in a mess!

But the group of Shandong soldiers in front of him had already reached 80 steps, and they were still raising their chests and raising their heads forward, with no intention of firing a musket! This can only show one thing, they plan to shoot at close range! This makes the Dashun Army

The soldiers were frightened!

The musket is not as good as a bow and arrow. If it is shot by a bow and arrow, as long as it is not shot into the vital points, or if it has armor on its body, it will basically be injured and not dead! However, when being shot at the musket at close range, it will definitely be dead and lifeless, and any armor will be irreplaceable! Even if it hits the limbs, it will also be the effect of broken bones and broken tendons! How can the soldiers of the Dashun Army not be afraid?

In fact, Liu Pei was indeed trying to get close to the shooting. This was also a way that Liu Pei could not force out! He had to defeat Li Zicheng before he could break up the large army! Otherwise, Li Zicheng's old battalion would be reinforced by the large army, and the battle would become a war of attrition!

Although Liu Pei was sure to win the war of attrition, the number of casualties would increase greatly! So Liu Pei decided to follow the example of the British entering the distance and defeating the French in one fell swoop, and to conduct close-range musket shooting!

When Britain and France fought for the world, there was a battle. The number of people on both sides was roughly the same, but the British army at that time made an amazing move! They slowly moved forward in line with the French musket shooting! After surviving six rounds of French volleys, they paid more than one-third of the casualties, and they marched 15 meters ahead of the French position! Then the British army fired volleys at such a close distance, and completely defeated the French army with just one volley!

Liu Pei followed the example of a story that had not happened in this time and space. However, Liu Pei had no intention of really approaching to a distance of 15 meters and shooting.

The British could do this and defeat the French because there were not many troops on both sides, but only a few thousand people. Now Liu Pei is facing an army of tens of thousands of people, and he did not expect a single volley to break up the opponent! In that case, the opponent would not be the Dashun army, but a group of mobs!

In the blink of an eye, Yu Jun's sword had already shot out four wheels! The musket soldiers also advanced more than forty units in the rain of arrows!
