When the infantry let them go, they will move forward again and prepare to rescue the cavalry after the rear, the cavalry had already been submerged among the Qing cavalry! They had to stop on the spot and withstood the Qing cavalry with their fast wheels!

Liu Pei ignored his own cavalry who was being hunted! To him, all soldiers were more like a number, and he only needed to exchange the minimum number for the most enemy numbers! And he also believed that his officers and soldiers could deal with this situation.

His eyes are now staring at the cavalry who fled from the left and right wings to the Central Front! Because this is a very rare opportunity! So he immediately ordered: "The infantry on the second line move forward! Then inform the infantry on the Central Front to defend the raid of the flank cavalry! The movement must be fast!"

With Liu Pei's order, the group of soldiers who were bombarded quickly retreated. The second echelon behind them trotted forward and rushed forward to face the Qing army's infantry!

As a result, a scene that was very beneficial to Shandong's troops appeared on the battlefield! A large part of the Qing cavalry with the collapsed wings rushed into the central battlefield before they had time to evacuate, they were sandwiched in the middle by infantry on both sides!

But they escaped, and even the officers could not be found, let alone organized effective command! But they also blocked a large part of the Qing army's way forward and made the central part of the central front stand out!

Now in the middle of the central front, the Shandong infantry formed a situation of attack! At the same time, the Shandong infantry on both sides were still shooting scattered cavalry and driving them towards the Qing army infantry! As a result, the bird gun soldiers they were leaning closer and were completely surrounded!

At this time, the officers in charge of command in the middle of the Central Front made an extremely bold decision, and they would advance forward with the Qing army's bird gun soldiers!

The soldiers first ran and approached quickly, and began to move forward slowly when they approached the other party 200 steps! They carried the sea boat on their shoulders and moved forward like a marching army! They scared the bird gun soldiers on the opposite side very much!

Fortunately, the Qing army officers were still awake, so they immediately ordered the bird gun soldiers to stop and start the whole team. Then they flattened the bird guns, waiting for Shandong soldiers to approach and then shot first.

Liu Pei stood on the lookout building and saw this scene, saying a little regretfully: "I didn't expect our officers to be so brave! I would have known that they should have taught their column tactics!"

The so-called column tactic is to avoid enemy artillery attacks. The soldiers must line up and advance in columns based on the company. When they approach the enemy, they will convert into horizontal lines. Because it is difficult to hit two or three wide columns by guns from the opposite side, but it is very simple to hit horizontal lines!

When facing a horizontal team, a skilled smoothbore gunner can hit almost every two to three shellings, causing more than two casualties! However, if the infantry uses column tactics to advance to the front line, the shells may not be able to hit the column!

Of course, a miracle once occurred in the Franco-Prussian War! A solid shell was shot in from the opposite side of the column, from the opponent to the tail of the team, and half of the company was destroyed in one shot! Of course, this kind of thing should be a miraculous existence, and it only happened this time in the entire history of the war!

Wu Yizhou once heard Liu Pei talk about column tactics, but he didn't know much, so he asked directly: "Master, what's going on with this column tactics? I heard you talk about it last time, but I didn't explain it in detail."

After listening to Liu Pei's brief explanation, Wu Yizhou said: "I don't think I'm in a hurry to promote it, or let the soldiers learn not to use it!"

Liu Pei said in surprise: "Why?"

Wu Yizhou said: "It is obvious that the column tactics are specifically used for troops with a large number of artillery like us. But at present, such a team cannot be found in the whole of Asia! So we showed this tactic too early and it is indeed possible to reduce certain casualties at present. However, if a country with strength learns it, the casualties we pay in the war with us will not be a decimal!"

Liu Pei said thoughtfully: "What do you mean is to use this tactic when facing European countries in the future? But this is a layer of window paper after all, maybe others will think of it?"

Wu Yizhou said: "That's even simpler! Once we find that the enemy uses this tactic, we will immediately show this tactic.

!Not to mention, as you said, it is just a layer of window paper, but many things are just some window paper, but it takes a long time and a great price to break it! It’s not that easy!”

Liu Pei nodded and said, "That's right, that's the reason! Then do what you said!"

After saying that, Liu Pei raised his telescope and looked at the Central Front again. At this time, the Shandong soldiers had advanced within a hundred steps of the other side. The Qing army's bird gun soldiers had already set their flat bird guns aimed at them! The monosi Shandong soldiers were still calm and did not even make their steps messy. They were still stepping on the drum beats, step by step! The neat footsteps were even more incisive than the drum beats! "

The Qing army commander gritted his teeth and wanted to wait for the Shandong soldiers to get closer. A bird gun soldier could pull the trigger under heavy pressure! The fuse fell into the medicine pool and ignited the bird gun, and the bird gun was fired with a "bang" sound!

He didn't know if his lead bullet hit the enemy, but the other bird gun soldiers who were already nervous around him also pulled the trigger! So the bird guns started scattered, and then everyone fired the bird guns in their hands! The entire battlefield suddenly filled with smoke!

The commander of the Qing army was so angry that he held a knife and slashed around the bird gun soldiers who were shooting first. The great god scolded! The soldiers who shot the empty bird guns started to load, but their movements were a little deformed and they actually spread gunpowder all over the floor! The officer was even more angry and cursed!

After a round of shooting, although the Shandong soldiers fell a few people, the soldiers behind immediately jogged quickly to restock. The team was still uniform, and no one seemed to be hit!

Seeing the opponent calm and leisurely, the Qing army was even more chaotic! When the second row of bird gun soldiers stepped forward, they fired the bird gun without waiting for the officer's orders in panic! The same was true when the third row of people stepped forward!
