The Counterattack of the Villains in the Movie World

Chapter 138 Sharpshooter - Baima Yicong

"139."

After Wu Yan said this number, he saw that the coalition forces were about to retreat, so he ordered: "Zhuangyuan Battalion, attack."

Hua Tong, who had been waiting for a long time, turned around and ran to the edge of the top of the city wall, waving the command flag.

Inside the city gate, the No. [-] Scholar Battalion, who had also been waiting for a long time, suddenly responded.

Five hundred recruits took the lead.

The sound of running footsteps made everyone on the city wall feel the shock. When five hundred recruits rushed out of the city gate one after another, forming a formation and increasing their running speed, the sound of footsteps was not so chaotic, and it sounded even louder. It was like thunder.

The soldiers of the No. 3000 Scholar Battalion of [-] infantry in the rear also rushed to the city gate.

In fact, these new recruits, who are already veterans and have the reputation of "invincible", are not very willing to accept them.

There are reasons why these recruits are equipped with a new set of clothes when they arrive, and there are also reasons why the average age of these recruits does not seem to be very old.

The average age of recruits is only 20 years old. From the physical point of view, they have not yet reached their peak physical fitness, and some have developed later, and they have not even grown beards.

The saying that you can't do things well if you don't talk about it has been around since ancient times.

But because no one dared to question the order of Emperor Wudi of Ming Dynasty, the No. [-] Scholar Battalion was also determined to let these recruits know who the real No. [-] Scholar Battalion was.

The city gate is not considered wide, and can only accommodate 20 people in parallel at the same time. Even the 20 veterans of the Zhuangyuan Battalion have become accustomed to modern military formations. It took a lot of time to get out of the city gate.

Compared with the recruits who rushed out of the city gate first, the speed of the No. [-] Scholar Battalion was much slower, not only because there were fewer people, but also because they were completely inferior to the recruits in terms of physical strength.

Because recruits who look young and have not yet reached their peak physical strength, the per capita third-tier "Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Golden Bell Cover".

"No. 250 Scholar Camp, Baima Yi obeys orders, and the target is [-] paces due to the west."

The 22-year-old Gongsun Zan knew very well that the reason why His Majesty named the 500 people led by him Baima Yicong was because his name was exactly the same as a figure from the Three Kingdoms period.

In fact, his parents gave him this name because they liked Gongsun Zan in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and Baima Yicong, the light cavalry unit that Gongsun Zan was good at shooting.

Gongsun Zan, who loved martial arts and bows and arrows since he was a child, also dreamed of becoming a general and creating his own white horse righteous follower.

However, times have changed.

Bows and arrows almost lost their due power in front of muskets. It is rare to see one who can penetrate Yang with a hundred steps, but it is rare to see one. As long as you have a musket, you can kill without mercy within fifty steps.

Gongsun Zan was lucky, he was selected to go to Yuetuo Island, and was valued by Hong Riqing who later joined Yuetuo Island, and taught him a few kung fu.

Fortunately, because he practiced bow and arrow since he was a child, he also showed amazing talent when using the new musket, and was finally selected as the commander of 500 people.

"The white horse obeys, and will never fail His Majesty."

After Gongsun Zan gave the order, he looked back at Wu Yan, who was at the highest point of the city wall. After muttering in his heart, he accelerated towards the due west. Mauser G98 rifles with bayonets, each carrying 50 rounds of ammunition, a dagger on his waist, wearing a new black tunic-style military uniform, and a rattan helmet rushed to the position of the artillery camp of the Allied Army in the west of Tokyo City.

When the recruits rushed out, the surrounding detection posts had already retreated a little. Although they had horses and these recruits did not have horses, they would definitely not be able to catch up with them, and there was no need to chase them, but they were still prepared to retreat at all times.

When they saw Baima Yicong, and even heard Gongsun Zan's shout, they were a little surprised.

Not only because these people don't even have a horse, let alone a white horse, and they don't wear white clothes, but they are called Baima Yicong, but also because the clothes of these people are very weird.

Those with better eyes can also see that the muskets on these people's backs look weird, and they are different from the muskets they recognize.

"Could it be that this is the new type of musket that Zao Wou-ki can shoot nearly two miles away?"

When the scouts were shocked and guessed, they saw that these 500 people did not wait for the follow-up troops, but rushed directly to the coalition army formation 900 meters away.

Although there are only a few thousand people near the artillery camp, they are not far away from the coalition forces behind. That is to say, these 500 people are equivalent to charging towards 2 people, and they are Britain and France that the Qing court and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom dare not provoke. United States Allied Forces.

What shocked the scouts the most was that these soldiers who claimed to be the White Horse Yisong of the No. [-] Scholar Battalion were running at a speed that was almost mad.

The ancient 250 steps are not really 250 steps. According to the Qin system, six feet is one step, and three hundred steps are one mile, which is 500 meters. Changing the Qin system to five feet is a step in the Guangxu period, so The current 250 steps is about 400 meters.

Even 400 meters is not too long, but with this very strenuous marching method on the battlefield, can you really fight when you get there?

Or, because Zao Wou-ki is a lunatic, are all the people under Zhao Wou-ki also lunatics?

The shock and doubts of the scouts could not prevent Wu Yan's champion battalion Baima Yicong from making his first battle.

After training for almost two years, after hearing that their "master" Zhao Wuji was invincible in all battles and took the head of a general among thousands of troops, their blood was already hot.

The skill effect of Qianguyidi's command power increased by 50%, which had a great impact on these people in the past two years, and when they first arrived on the battlefield, because of the skill effect of increasing morale by 50%, there was no Recruits should be timid and fearful of battle.

What makes their morale almost bursting is that they have been fed for two years, taught them martial arts, given them new guns, and often ate and lived with them before, and personally taught their lord, the current Emperor Wudi, the founding emperor of the Ming Empire Zao Wou-ki, on the city wall behind them, was supporting them with his marvelous marksmanship.

"stop!"

Gongsun Zan, who was the first to rush to the boundary of the artillery attack distance, stopped, raised his right hand and clenched his fist, and the flag commander beside him accurately conveyed his order.

Baima Yicong all stopped, and the formation that was scattered due to running wildly became tidy again in a few breaths. In fact, they kept the formation as much as possible during the running process. shape, so as not to make the camp too scattered.

What's more, what those scouts couldn't feel was that the breathing of these white horse righteous servants was very steady at the moment, and they didn't feel any rush at all.

"A line array."

Gongsun Zan gave the order again.

Before that, Wu Yan left some military books for Yuetuo Island. The military books about modern gun warfare all came from Zola character cards.

Although Wu Yan didn't quite understand it himself, Gongsun Zan did research and understood it, which is one of the reasons why he was able to become the commander of Baima Yicong.

After receiving the order, the 500-member team immediately formed a corresponding formation. It seemed that it simply became three rows, but the people in the first row were kneeling on one knee, and the people in the second row It is similar to squatting, but it is a posture of front and rear feet. Baima Yicong, who has been deliberately selected and compared to form the third row, is the tallest group of 500 people.

Under such a formation, three rows of people were able to raise their guns and aim at the same time.

Gongsun Ce drew his waist knife and stood on the side of the team. His knife was different from the short knives of the soldiers, but relatively long, which was different from the commanders and ordinary soldiers.

Raising the long saber high, Gongsun Zan mobilized his internal strength after concentrating on it, and then shouted while swinging the saber: "Shoot!"

As soon as the bang bang sounded, it continued into a violent rumbling sound. Five hundred new-style rifles were nearly 50 years ahead of the world. For the first time, the real power was shown in the eyes of the world.

Unable to advance or retreat, the artillery battalion of the coalition forces saw the troops rushing out of Tokyo City. After a little panic, the commander in front gave an order to meet them.

This is inevitable, even if the whole army is going to retreat, they still need someone to break the rear, otherwise, they will all turn their backs and let others fight as they want.

After receiving the order, the panic-stricken coalition forces had no choice but to set up their positions. When the opponent could hit them, they also chose to charge forward for a certain distance, preparing to fight closer.

To their great surprise, none of them were shot during this process, and those who were shot were still those who wanted to get close to the sixty heavy artillery pieces and their ammunition.

The 1000-member coalition musketeers advanced 200 meters toward the city of Tokyo as a retreating force. At this time, Baima Yicong of the No. 400 Scholar Battalion had already passed the [-]-meter distance.

Considering that Baima Yicong had not yet fully walked out of the city gate when the coalition forces advanced, the speed of the march between the two was judged.

This is not entirely because Baima Yicong has practiced martial arts, but also has a lot to do with the completely different morale of the two sides.

"Prepare."

The infantry commander in front of the coalition forces ordered to prepare for the impact of Baima Yicong, but just after the order was issued, he saw Baima Yicong on the opposite side raising his gun to aim.

Line arrays are not new to Europeans. They have been using this shooting formation, which is called the most advanced and useful in the 18th century, a long time ago. Even in the [-]th century, this shooting formation is still very useful.

But it is actually difficult to form a line array on flat ground, and it is difficult for the people in the middle row to maintain a half-squatting posture, and it is difficult to maintain stability for a long time. Under normal circumstances, this kind of shooting formation is arranged in places with a difference in height.

Before the former commander of the coalition army complained about this, he thought of the artillerymen who were shot and died, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a very serious empirical error.

He didn't take into account that these soldiers who rushed out were also using the new type of musket that could shoot 900 meters away.

In other words, because these soldiers who rushed out of Tokyo City did not shoot them on the city wall or below the city wall, he ignored this problem.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was only 300 meters.

"Hidden, hidden!"

When the front commander of the coalition forces shouted, gunshots sounded like thunder. From this distance, five hundred guns fired at the same time, and they could hear them clearly.

Like the wind blowing grass, the 1000-man coalition infantry fell down in an instant.

Just as the shock and fear arose, before they could even turn around and run away, the second round of gunfire rang out against their inherent cognition.

For those who use front-bore smoothbore flintlock guns, the interval between two shots needs at least 10 seconds. Slower musketeers, even if they use paper shell ammunition, can even shoot as slow as 30 seconds.

Hakuba Yicong, who can use the Mauser G98 rifle, has a theoretical rate of fire of 1 rounds per minute. Pulling the bolt once means firing a shot in 16 seconds.

Moreover, compared with the front-bore smoothbore flintlock gun, which is easy to explode and has no rifling in the barrel, the Mauser G98 rifle is actually no different from modern rifles.

Stable, efficient and precise.

Another large group of soldiers from the coalition army fell, and the army of thousands of soldiers fell down more than 600 people in the two rounds of volleys fired by Baima Yicong.

But they didn't fire a single shot.

It doesn't make any sense even if it is opened, because they want to hit a target 300 meters away, and the probability is about the same as winning the lottery.

The rumble sounded again, and the coalition forces that had already begun to run back fell down like cutting wheat.

This is because it is impossible for 500 people to aim at one target each, and the difference is thousands of miles away. Even if the distance is only 300 meters, the muzzle and sight of the gun are slightly shifted, and the targets aimed at are completely different.

Fortunately, there are many people in the coalition army, and the musketeers have always been densely packed in order to prevent the cavalry from charging.

"Bai Ma Yi Cong, the target is [-] steps to the west, charge!"

Gongsun Zan, who has only a few years of internal strength, although his roar is not as loud as Zhao Wuji, but the target is only 500 people, and it is completely enough when the distance is very close.

Bai Ma Yicong moved forward with a bang, and the target was the sixty heavy artillery pieces, and the coalition soldiers who finally gave up those heavy artillery pieces and began to flee in embarrassment.

At this time, the 3000 people from the Zhuangyuan Battalion had just rushed out of the city gate and had just completed their formation.

When they heard the gunshots and saw the results of Baima Yicong's battle, everyone's eyes turned red.

Because the muskets they used were almost the same as those used by the British, French and American forces, and they also wanted new guns.

"Those who have military exploits, those who train hard, and those who obey the discipline."

On the city wall, a person suddenly jumped down and landed in front of them. Everyone in the Zhuangyuan Camp knew this person and his voice. It was their Emperor.

Wu Yan said in a loud voice: "Everyone can enter Baima Yicong."

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

The soldiers of the No. [-] Scholar Battalion shouted frantically.

And Huatong also led a white horse to Wu Yan's side. Wu Yan, who was wearing a dragon robe, did not put on armor, not because he was not ready to lead the way, but because he didn't need armor.

Without those heavy artillery, he is not afraid of anything.

When the soldiers carrying the Zhao Ziya flag rushed out, they held up the 98K in their hands.

"I, Zao Wou-ki, said that if there is a battle, you must take the lead."

"Champion Scholar Battalion, charge with me!"

When the No. [-] Scholar Battalion rushed up, Baima Yicong had already occupied the position of the sixty heavy artillery pieces, and started chasing and killing the fleeing coalition forces.

Seeing the corpse at close range and smelling the strong smell of blood, the Baima Yicong recruits actually had complicated emotions at the moment, and very few of them had killed someone before.

It didn't matter when they shot, after all, it was hundreds of meters away, but now, the corpses they just killed were under their feet.

That is because these people are barbarians, otherwise, morale will definitely be affected even more.

After all, there are really not many people in this world who are born to kill without blinking an eye.

"Your Majesty is coming, Your Majesty is coming!"

Some people looked back and saw the first rider, wearing a golden red dragon robe, and the Wushayi crown inlaid with gold beads and jade on the top of their heads, which made their morale reach the peak in an instant.

Wu Yan, who did not wait for the champion battalion and galloped to the side of Baima Yicong, naturally couldn't just ride a horse and rush towards nearly [-] musketeers. The Hood, not Superman's Man of Steel.

In fact, he only needs to appear on the battlefield, appearing in a relatively dangerous position, not an absolutely dangerous position, is enough to inspire the highest morale of the soldiers.

"The white horse obeys orders."

Wu Yan's voice is like that of Hong Zhong Dalu.

"Western barbarians are all enemy bandits, kill them!"

"kill!"

Baima Yicong's killing sound shook the sky.
