"forward--"

Zhou Dong shouted with a knife.

Unlike the Qing army that pushed and pulled the cannon, Chen Jun abandoned all artillery fire from the beginning, even the lightweight mortar cannon.

It doesn't make much sense.

The mortar, especially the light mortar, weighs only 100 kilograms, and of course it can be carried to the ground.

But what about its sustainability? What about the speed of movement in the rice fields?

The shells and powder fired by the mortar cannon require human support. If you have the energy, wouldn’t it be better to bring more grenades?

Although the range of the mortar is indeed much farther than that of the grenade.

As for other small cannons that were shot with solid bullets, they didn't take them, which was a muddy rice field.

Zhou Dong and his three battalions lined up in a row, lined up with a 50*10-long horizontal lineup, and pressed straight towards the Qing army opposite.

The commanders of the three divisions of the Guards have not yet been settled. As the regiment commander, Zhou Dong certainly hopes that he can compete.

He performed well under Jining City, but this does not guarantee that he can stand out. At least Chen Yuanyou from Xuzhou performed more outstandingly.

So the current decisive battle is a great opportunity. As long as he can make great contributions, Chen Yuanyou will also follow his butt and eat his fart.

It is already the Mid-Autumn Festival and the weather is already cold. Even in northern Jiangsu, the cold water can quickly absorb the heat from the body.

This confrontation in the rice fields not only deals with the skill level of both sides, but also the physical strength and willpower of both.

The Qing army originally marched along the ridges between the rice fields.

But when Zhao Jun set up a formation from the beginning, he had no choice but to spread the team.

Only those who experience it personally know whether it feels good or not.

Especially after accidentally being tripped down, the cold feeling of mud and water all over my body is so pleasant.

And such military soldiers are almost ruined.

Otherwise, do you think the fuse on their bodies can continue to be used?

Not to mention that muskets would also be poured into mud and water, so it would be even more uncomfortable for the Qing soldiers to clean them up.

Of course, Chen Jun soldiers will encounter the same situation.

But first of all, they didn't need a fuse. Secondly, all Chen Jun soldiers were equipped with a small pot of strong wine, and they ate well, but in terms of physical fitness, they were definitely better than the Qing army on the opposite side.

"Skies attack!"

The distance between the two sides is not very far. No matter how difficult the rice fields are, they have narrowed to about 300 meters in nearly three quarters of an hour.

If you look at it from a bird's eye view from a high altitude, you will clearly see that Chen's army's military front has far exceeded the middle line, and its military line plane is almost equal to the Qing army's artillery team in the front.

The reason is very simple.

Chen Jun went into battle lightly, while the Qing Army was dragging various artillery, which greatly delayed their progress.

If we look at the starting point between the two sides, the distance Chen Jun walked accounts for at least two-thirds of the total length.

"Boom boom boom..."

The Qing army's small cannons opened fire.

Chen Jun continued to move forward. Even if an unlucky guy was hit by a cannon, he could not delay the overall action at all.

"Bang bang..."

The crisp gunshots rang out quickly.

At this point, the Qing army was at an absolute disadvantage. Whether it was the bird guns in the hands of soldiers or their small cannons, it was difficult to truly suppress Chen's scattered soldiers.

The continuous gunfire of gunfire continued to weaken the morale of the Qing army.

The gunners kept falling down, and the Qing soldiers in the front also fell to the ground.

"forward--"

The deputy commander of Jingkou shouted loudly.

Go forward! Must go forward.

At this time, we can only rely on their people to move forward, otherwise if we continue to fight like this by the thief on the opposite side, the morale of the entire army will collapse.

The Qing soldiers never thought that one day they would be eager to hear the military order "forward".

It’s really too difficult to endure the time for ‘only beating and incompetent to fight back’.

A large number of Qing troops rushed to a rapid speed.

Although the distance between them is enough to allow the Chen army's scattered soldiers to easily make another round.

People from the Qing soldiers opposite fell to the ground from time to time.

They can't escape the sanctions of rifled guns at all.

Chen Jun may not have expected that in this short period of time, there were six or seven hundred people in the Qing army who were knocked down and killed by the rifled gunman in just one thousand.

But this did not stop the Qing army at all.

Instead, they are more eager to get close.

This does not mean that they are not afraid of death and are eager to fight hand-to-hand combat, or how confident they are in their hands-to-hand combat abilities, but that these people are eager to fight back as well.

Behind the tens of thousands of Green Camp soldiers, two thousand Eight Banners soldiers who were sharpening their knives were staring at them.

No one dared to retreat and escape, at least none of them dared to do so now.

The Qing army's queues were scattered and messy.

But when they were scattered towards the Chen army step by step, the huge advantage in manpower scale still made the scattered soldiers solemn. However, they did not retreat, but split into two. Some of them continued to drag behind and shoot, while the other part quickly cleaned up the Qing army along their waists.

They all have grenades on their backs, and now they transform into bomb-strikers, and the danger is extremely high.

But these people are all die-hard supporters of the Zhao family, and they are rewarded with generous rewards, and no matter how big they threaten them to take over.

Otherwise, why would their salary be at least two silver dollars more than ordinary smoothbore gun shooters?

Sixty steps, fifty steps, forty steps.

About sixty meters.

This has not reached the throwing distance of the grenades, and it has to be shortened by half to ensure that all grenades can be dropped onto the Qing army. But this has reached the limit of the distance of the Qing army's psychological realm. They fired, and three rows of fired volleys, piled up in a mess.

But many scattered soldiers were still asked to pounce on the rice fields.

A hundred Chen army scattered soldiers who attacked were about thirty or forty.

The number of Qing soldiers was too large, and no matter how poor the power of the mesh gun was, it was still a firearm. It was not surprising that so many guns were shot out at once and achieved such results.

The Chen army's scattered soldiers did not disperse on the spot, but instead rushed forward faster.

The explosion sounded densely, and dozens of scattered soldiers pounced on the Qing army about 20 or 30 meters away, and threw grenades as big as melons towards the black muzzle.

The raindrop-like shrapnel immediately made the already untidy Qing army's queue even more scattered, and large areas of rice fields were dyed scarlet blood.

The Qing army officers in the forefront could not control their soldiers at all.

When the Qing army saw Chen Jun's scattered soldiers who threw the grenade, they not only did not leave, but instead took out another grenade and caused fire. A shout suddenly sounded.

Some of the brave Qing soldiers raised their waists and shouted at the people, which immediately made most of the Qing soldiers who were confused and confused and didn't know what to do.
