boom!

In the early morning, two Franco machine guns pushed forward to the mouth of the valley at the foot of the mountain, and bombarded the mountain's mail towers one mile away. With a roar, smoke from the foot of the mountain filled the smoke. The copper-cast Franco machine gun sat back hard, and the projectile suddenly hit the mountain with parabola accurately hitting the forest on the mountain, sweeping off several small trees along the way, which shocked the small villages in the mountains.

It’s nonsense to talk about the cannons of this era!

Although the black gunpowder is not powerful, its momentum is huge enough.

In Chen Mu's eyes, the Fran machine gun was bombarded, and there was a movement immediately on the camp on the opposite mountain. Even if the people closest to the shell strike point were dozens of meters away, they would still run away in panic, looking for places to hide, shouting everywhere.

Deng Zilong's experienced gunners carried the ears of the gun and unscrewed them to the right, then threw the smoked hollow gun aside, replaced them with the gunpowder and shells that had been loaded in advance, and then fired them, bringing a lot of trouble to the mountain again.

Chen Mu and the others were stationed in Beishan, while Deng Zilong was stationed in Nanshan. They did not block the retreat at the end of Wu, but flashed out the gap in the posture of two attacking each other, only two miles apart. The situation there was similar. Similarly, a Fran machine cannon continued to bombard the mountain, bombing out five guns in succession, and the gunners behind the two guns took a break for a moment.

The copper cast gun body was red due to the explosion of gunpowder, and it was time to explode if it was bombarded.

Listening to the ears is false, and seeing to the eyes is true.

In Chen Mu's view, in this era of coordinated combat with hot and cold weapons, the greatest advantage of artillery is not terrible lethality, but terrible morale suppression to the enemy. As for the extremely low-organizational riots, bombarding artillery next to their whistle towers will make their scouts unintentionally observe the situation, and the brigades of infantry barely arranged lose control and scattered.

If this is not a tough battle but an ordinary encounter, at this time, you only need to send their flag troops to rush over, and they are brave enough to easily fight a defeated battle facing several times the enemy.

The north mountain is farther north, and the Xinjiang River is the water. It is precisely because of guarding the river that Bai Yuanjie led his troops to guard the place. Except for Chen Mu, the landslides in the general banner, the more than 400 samurai warriors in the Manliao Camp were all born sailors. No one could beat them when fighting on the water.

At this moment, many soldiers of the Manliang camp who had seen Fran's machine cannon bombardment for the first time in their lives, were silent and did not dare to come out. They watched carefully as the cannon repeatedly loading the cannon, firing the cannon, cleaning the cannon, and then installing the cannon again.

The cannons roared, similar to the power of heaven and earth.

"Qianhu, have you seen it? There are only two Fran machine cannons." Chen Mu held the joints of the Japanese guns hard and showed a white meaning. He pointed to the mountain beside Bai Yuanjie and said, "Suppress hundreds of enemy troops on the mountain, and we will also build some artillery in the flag army in the future!"

Bai Yuanjie's eyes were bright. Even though he did not have the insight that Chen Muyuan surpassed the times, how could a warrior who could stand out in this era be an ordinary person? He nodded calmly and said slowly in his mind: "You don't know how expensive this cannon is."

"Your 300 acres of land can only grow one such cannon a year, and it will be scrapped in less than two years."

Bai Yuanjie explained to Chen Mu: "The bronze cannon is light, but the cannon chamber is soft and not useful. The more you hit the cannon chamber, the bigger it is. Ordinary military craftsmen are not good at making it. They can fire a few kilograms of gunpowder. When I was a child, Qingyuan had cannons. If the old ones were broken, the new ones would not be repaired, and if they were repaired, they would not be able to be repaired. Over time, Qingyuan didn't even have a flag army that could activate artillery."

Chen Mu curled his lips. In his opinion, Bai Yuanjie's five hundred troops must have at least ten such Franco-machine light cannons. Whether loading ships or mules and horses, they will drag them all over the ground. Siege can quickly destroy the strong and field battles can hit morale. This is the way to win. But now he also knew that such a situation was basically impossible. Just as Bai Yuanjie said, he could only grow a Franco-machine cannon in a year after he had 300 acres of private land. In other words, this thing cost at least hundreds of taels of silver, and ten ten taels of three thousand taels. Where did he go to get it?

"But it's better to have cannons than not. Bai heard that General Qi built a tiger squat cannon in the southeast. Maybe this war will be fortunate. Buying cannons is a must. Let's see which cannon is suitable for buying." Bai Yuanjie said with a stern expression, and waved to Chen Mu to stop him from speaking, "Shut up, Wu Duan is going to attack!"

As soon as Bai Yuanjie finished speaking, a whimpering buffalo horn sound was raised in the messy bandit formation of the front army, only two miles away from them. The shoddy low ladder was carried by the soldiers. When he heard the order, he burst into a loud shout of killing and rushed towards Xinjiang Town in the low area of ​​the valley. This made Chen Mu look at him and he was absolutely motivated!

Wu Duan's army began to charge, and Bai Yuanjie also turned around and waved the order flag, and ordered: "When Wu Duan fights with the enemy in the town, we will line up to attack the mountain. Chen Qi obeys the order and orders you to lead the people from the left of the mountain to fight the front line!"

With military orders, it is different from ordinary chats. Chen Mu held his fists and responded, turned his head and raised the Japanese gun: "The flag army obeyed the orders and lined up!"

Chen Mu's army may not have high combat power except for the Bird Gun Team, but the flag army under his command was absolutely beautiful to do. More than fifty people quickly lined up when they heard the sound. The Bird Gun Team and Chen Mu were in the middle, the sword player was in front and the archer was behind, and the two wings were lined with guns and spears, forming a horizontal formation without a wide attack surface.

Their opponents lack firearms, and they need to protect their swords and cards at the bottom of the attack. If the enemy is in depth, they will be devastated. If they face enemies with many firearms, they need a narrow width and a large depth to fight against direct firearms such as firearms and bird guns.

On the surface, Chen Mu seemed to have experienced a long battle, but in fact this was his first time participating in a huge local war between nearly 10,000 troops on both sides. His heart was beating fast, but his inner pride and the unbearable enemy supported him to pretend to be calm.

This is true for every flag army, and the battle formation can unite them together, maintain a high morale appearance, and give silent support to each other.

Many people are bold!

After Chen Mu's army, Bai Yuanjie's Barbarian Camp also listed military formations. His barbarian soldiers were mostly cold and lacked hot soldiers, and their bows and crossbows were less than three or four. Although they had few iron armor, the soldiers held short soldiers and rattan cards, and surrounded Chen Mu's army in a wrapped situation. It was obvious that they used Chen Mu's flag army as a vanguard, and then attacked the mountain and pursued the Barbarian Camp with light rush.

Wu Duan's army rushed to Xinjiang Town camp in a short time in the valley, and short ladders were placed on the simple wall of the village. Several Japanese pirates dancing in the army were divided into the army, shouting to climb up the wall, and fighting with the rebels guarding Xinjiang Town!

boom!

Three points on the mountain climbing road, Chen Mu led his army to rush up from the left road of the mountain, and most of Bai Yuanjie's troops followed closely. They wanted to take advantage of the situation to take down the mountain village that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and not only support the Wu Duan army's offensive, but also threaten the Wu Duan army who may rebel after the war after taking down the mountain village.

More than ten artillery soldiers left outside the camp continued to fire artillery on the right side of the mountain and bombarded the enemy camp.
