The two refurbish battalions of the Ming army, led by officers, crawled on the muddy river bank. The opposite bank was lined up in a row. The Western Yi was shooting guns, and their eyes were almost glaring out. Then they could only see the opposite side of the river a hundred steps away.

In the mud, red figures were crawling with their butts sticking out, and they were crawling quite fast.

"Low the muzzle, lower it!"

"Open fire!"

There was a crackling sound of muskets, and large smoke burst out from the Western Army again. The dense guns made the river water splash, but the results were very little. Most of the Westerners used old combs, which were a hundred meters away.

Where can we get the standard? It basically depends on mystery. If you want to hit the target, it depends on faith.

Pupp, a rain of bullets fell in the sky, and the Ming army crawling forward stopped for a moment and crawled forward quickly. Pa, Pa, Pa, soon, the Ming army crawling forward was in place, at a distance of fifty or sixty steps.

, they opened fire one after another, looking at the messy shooting, but caused damage to the dense Western formation. From time to time, Western soldiers fell down screaming.

"Engineer, engineer!"

"dig!"

Soon, several engineer battalions crawling forward followed the Lai Fu Ring Battalion and began to dig bunkers under the cover of soldiers. The bombs were like rain, but the casualties were completely disproportionate. One side was standing straight on the river bank, while the other side was lying on the lie on the fire.

The casualties ratio is astonishingly ten to one, or even dozens to one. The range and accuracy of the Western Army's heavy grenade gun were actually crushed by the latest model of flintlock rifled rifle.

Bang, bang!

The slightly messy sound of guns became a death knives for the soul at this time. The two battled Laifu rifle battalions won a lot of money as soon as they appeared on the Philadelphia battlefield. The two camps had more than a thousand people, just one thousand

Multiple rifled muskets actually formed firepower suppression on three times the enemy.

Bang, bang, bang, amid the unique crisp sound of rifled muskets, more and more Western soldiers lined up in line on the other side fell. Soon, when the Ming army engineers dug a large number of bunkers on the river bank, they returned to the rifle camp to lie down and change their position.

In order to kneel, they began to gather behind the cover. Within a quarter of an hour, the Western Army, which was waiting for the battle, was defeated along the river defense line. Three or four thousand people could not bear the one-sided casualties and were defeated in chaos.

Bang, bang, amid the crisp sound of shooting, the defeated Western Army still fell from time to time. The first time I took the battle, the Laifu rifle battalion became more and more accurate in actual combat. Some of them had accurate shooting skills and bite the flesh, and the whistling bullets chased the West.

The army's defeated troops. If it weren't for the cumbersome loading of rifles, the Western Army's casualties would have been even more severe.

Ten miles away, the commander camp.

"good!"

"To the Linying Officer, the Maying Officer!"

Luo Yi, who was commanding the army for the first time, was overjoyed. A big rock fell to the ground in his heart. The front line defeated the Western Army across the river and built a fortification bunker. Dozens of small-caliber light cannons transported by the army and pressed them down with the situation. In the evening, one seemed to be

The bridgehead position that looked like alike had already taken shape, and the engineers began to build a floating bridge. Two elite rifle battalions came to the remnant battalion and retired, but was urgently removed by Luo Yi to correct the problem.

"Haha, thank you both!"

"I dare not be praised by the adults, I am afraid of being afraid!"

At night, the Ming army commander's camp was shining with torches, and the camp reflected was like daytime.

Deputy Commander Luo Yi looked at the two young battalion officials in front of him, and became more and more happy the more he looked. These two were both prodigal sons and disciples of the Saint King who had graduated from Kaiyuan Military Academy. They were really amazing. This appearance will be

The Western Army fought in a panic, but unfortunately there were too few such rifle battalions, with only four battalions and more than 2,000 people. Since then, the four rifle battalions of the Ming army on the southern front naturally became the top main force, and also created later generations.

Great reputation.

The seventh year of Kaicheng, early July.

The Ming army on the southern front established more than ten bridgehead positions along the river under the city of Philadelphia, and the floating bridge was also built.

On July 8th, the Ming army on the southern front began to force the Delaware River after careful preparation. Late at night, on the banks of the Delaware River, the 12th Battalion of troops, and 6,000 people were waiting for the battle, and followed the three heavy artillery battalions.

Promote, with sufficient ammunition assisted by the navy, bombarded along the river bank, and the time for forced transit was ripe.

The Ming army on the South Road was helped by the navy and attacked the attack smoothly, and then it gained an overwhelming advantage under the city of Philadelphia. In the face of absolute power, tactics and courage became a little weak. In recent days, the Western Army has launched counterattacks many times.

, trying to destroy those bridgehead positions, but under the suppression of the Ming army's superior firepower, the troops were lost.

Midnight, by the river.

Three heavy artillery battalions, more than 20 heavy artillery fired in sequence, and the rumbling cannons kicked off the prelude to the Battle of Philadelphia. The Ming army of the 12th battalion was ready to go. The heavy artillery bombed for half an hour, and the firepower began to extend. With a call, the Sun and Moon Army flag

It rolled up, and the whistle, drum, and roar were heard.

"out!"

"attack!"

The Delaware River was noisy and the Ming army, who were squatting in the bridgehead position on the riverside, stood up one after another, rushed to more than a dozen floating bridges of all sizes, and forced a crossing across the board.

At this time, Luo Yisu stood in the commando camp, and couldn't help but feel a little turbulent. The light cavalry traveled back and forth between the commando camp, and kept coming out good news. The battalions crossed the river were progressing smoothly, and the resistance of the Western Army was very weak, only in the northwest.

On a floating bridge, the Third Battalion encountered strong resistance from the Western Barbarians. The soldiers were suppressed by dense firepower on the bridge, and the casualties were no longer light.

"Linying official."

"The mark is here, please give me instructions!"

With a low shout, Luo Yi bowed to his subordinates and politely: "Brother Lin, please!"

Lin Chaoan, the official of the first battalion of the camp of the Furuk Armor, quickly responded to the promise, carried a knife and murderous intent, attacked the camp again, heading straight to the upper reaches of the northwest river, and heading for the battle situation. Looking at the back of the Lin camp official, Luo Yi was actually in his heart.

I was a little envious, and a whisper rang around me.

"What is this Lord Lin?"

"After graduating from military studies, the Holy King student, has been a guard officer for two years in front of the prince. What are you talking about?"

"Oh, it's really amazing!"

The generals in the commando camp were talking about it. These were the new army brought out by the prince himself. No wonder his troops were so well-equipped and so brave and good at fighting.

In the early morning, it was light and northwest of Philadelphia.

On the largest and most fiercely contested floating bridge, the Ming army of the two battalions encountered a strong fire attack by the Western Army when they crossed. Most of them were suppressed on the bridge and could not move. A small part turned over and swam down the bridge, forced a swim, and fought fiercely for an hour later.

, but still unable to make a breakthrough, Lin Chao'an's troops, who were used as the top main force, arrived in time.

Lin Chaoan stood by the river, looking at the somewhat embarrassed friendly troops, grinned. He really looked down on these cowards. With a wave of his hand, a battalion of Riflemen rushed forward in a scattered manner and joined the battlefield.
