The Qing army rushed out of a thousand-man team, which was quite a face for Wu's flintlock troops. The entire company of Wu's 158th Company had only 130 people.

One hundred and thirty people were divided into three rows and prepared to meet the enemy according to the standard three-stage shooting tactics.

Even if there are thousands of enemies, they can still maintain their composure. This is Wu Jun's elite troops, those who are not brave enough to enter the Fusiliers will have no chance.

In the Wu army, there were too many recruits who wanted to enter the flintlock department, and all recruits had to go through fierce competition.

"Get in range, fire."

The commander ordered.

Then, the forty people standing in the first row fired a salvo.

After a shot, they immediately retreated from the gap in the queue to the rear, and then reloaded.

The flintlock guns are still front-loading guns, and the bullets have to be loaded from the muzzle, and their barrels are more than one meter long, so it is impossible to crouch down and load the bullets.

When they retreated to the back, the soldiers in the second platoon also fired immediately. After they fired a shot, they retreated to the back like the soldiers in the first platoon.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers in the third row opened fire.

When they finished firing and retreated to the back, the people in the first row had already finished loading.

This speed can only be achieved after a long period of training.

This is the three-stage shot in Wu Jun. Although it is not as powerful as a one-time salvo, the victory is continuous. In terms of efficiency, it is better than a salvo.

The rushing Qing army had already tasted the taste of this three-stage shot. During the process of their advance, although they did not fall down a large piece of tragic situation at one time, the process of falling down continued.

This means that they are facing danger all the time, which is equivalent to a sharp sword hanging over their heads, which may fall at any time, which is a kind of torture to the soldiers' psychology.

Falling down a dozen people at a time is not much for their team of thousands. But after four or five shots, the surviving soldiers who rushed in front would find that Paoze, who was in the same team, was almost dead, and some new faces had been changed beside him.

This panicked the surviving soldiers, and the silent damage was so terrifying that a squad was depleted before you knew it.

The distance between the woods and the beach was only about 100 meters. The thousand-person team rushed to Wu Jun in half a minute.

Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, and a thousand soldiers of the Qing army relied on their lives to fill a path.

Hand-to-hand combat, Wu Jun's 158th Company also stopped reloading and began to defend with bayonets.

It is very dangerous for them at this time, because the number of people is too small, and they can only defend the frontal enemy in formation. The enemy, relying on numerical superiority, can attack from three sides.

If they want to form a circular formation to defend in all directions, they are not strong enough, and the formation will be very thin.

A formation with only one or two rows can easily be overwhelmed.

"Hold on, our reinforcements will be here soon."

The company commander of the 158th Company shouted that its soldiers' bayonets had been testing each other with the enemy's broadswords and spears.

The Qing army, who was trying to break through the Wu army's defense line in the front, encountered trouble, and those bright bayonets would not be polite to them. Maybe they can break through Wu Jun's line of defense, but those who rush ahead will most likely die.

Originally, in this case, it would be easier to have a shield, and you could use a shield to top it. However, in order to rush to Wu Jun as soon as possible, they did not carry heavy shields.

Out of prudence, they failed to break through Wu's line of defense immediately.

"Rush up, rush up, and slash without fear of battle."

The head of the Qing army shouted loudly, and the Qing army behind them kept pushing forward, forcing the Qing army in the front row to squeeze into the bayonet forest of the Wu army.

Whether they want to die or not, these people will have a hard time living at this moment.

Relying on the bodies of these people, the Qing army forced an opening and entered the Wu army's formation.

Then came the melee, tearing and killing.

All kinds of knives stabbed randomly, stabbed randomly, and screamed incessantly.

The Qing army, which had an advantage in numbers, had the absolute upper hand at this time.

In the absence of a formation, the fight is the number of people.

In a one-to-two, elite soldiers will also take care of one and the other.

It didn't take long for the 158th Company to lose more than half.

In other armies, with a 50% death rate, the remaining soldiers have long since surrendered.

But the soldiers of the 158th Company did not. They actually understood very well that they were cannon fodder.

They believe that their side will definitely win, and they surrender at this time, and they will be punished later. Simply fight, maybe there is still a chance.

If they are fortunate enough to survive, they will definitely be rewarded and will be commended by key publicity. There are many such examples in Wu Jun.

Therefore, among the Wu army, there are also some people who are extremely fierce for the reward.

Just when the 158th Company was in a hard fight, a new batch of soldiers from the Wu Army had already landed.

The newcomer is the 159th Company, and both of them are very familiar with Pao Ze, who they often practice together with.

As soon as the 159th Company came ashore, they immediately started shooting at the Qing troops.

At this time, they would not take into account whether they would accidentally get hurt. There were at least 700 people in the Qing army, and there were only 60 or 70 Wu soldiers in the encirclement.

It is absolutely worthwhile to shoot in that direction at this time.

War is so cruel, and decisions are always made based on profit and loss.

In order to save a few or dozens of Paoze, he would not rush to Huluwa to save Grandpa.

Even if 159 people rushed up, they couldn't save them.

For them, the most correct choice is to use the advantages of long-range shooting to continuously kill the enemy.

As for the robes of the 158th Company, they can only ask for their own blessings.

The gunshots sounded, and the head of the thousand households in the Qing army was depressed for a while.

At present, this small group of people has not been resolved, and Wu Jun has come to an army of the same number. This battle is really too difficult to fight.

Even if they can completely destroy the surrounded troops, they may be powerless to the new troops. Their current loss rate has reached 30%, which is close to the psychological limit of soldiers.

They were able to persevere just now that the wind had the upper hand, but if they continued, they might collapse.

"Speed ​​up, we will withdraw after killing these people."

The head of the thousand households drew a big cake for his subordinates, and he also thought about it. After killing the army in front of him, he grabbed these flintlock guns back, and he was barely able to exchange.

Not to mention that those soldiers don't want to fight anymore, even he, the head of a thousand households, doesn't want to stay on this beach anymore.

The fighting on the beach was so brutal, there were corpses everywhere and blood everywhere.

Under Wu Jun's guns, both officers and soldiers enjoy the same treatment, and they will not be safer just because they are officers.

Hearing the conditions for the retreat, the soldiers of the Qing army became even more mad. They could not wait to annihilate the 158th Company immediately, and then they could retreat and leave this terrible place.

The remaining soldiers of the 158th Company felt the pressure again, but they had no choice but to continue to hold on.

Whether you can survive or not really depends on the will of God.

"Shoot faster."

The company commander of the 159th company can only be anxious at this time, the rate of fire is so fast, and the soldiers will not be able to increase the rate of fire just because he is anxious.

However, their continuous shooting also put the Qing army's thousand-man team under enormous pressure.

In one round of shooting, they would fall dozens of people. After only three rounds of shooting, they fell nearly 200 people.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the head of the thousand households of the Qing army sighed inwardly, and then ordered an immediate retreat. He was too lazy to kill the remaining twenty or so Wu soldiers. At this time, life-saving was the most important thing.

When they retreated, they had not forgotten to take the flintlock from the ground.
