Ma On Shan, northwest
The first line of defense that the bandit suppressing army and the Qing army encountered on the battlefield was a low wall of about four feet.
The low wall was made of soil packed in cloth bags. It was as high as a person's chest. In addition to being able to withstand arrows shot by the Qing army and various weapons such as throwing axes, it could also be used by the musketeers to use force when firing.
One foot away in front of the low wall is a three-foot-high barbed wire fence. Although the structure of this barbed wire fence is very simple, it is a rare weapon used to hinder the enemy.
Looking down, the entire Ma'an Mountain is almost wrapped in barbed wire, forming the first defensive line against the enemy.
There are quite a few Zamartins missing between the barbed wire fence and the low wall, which forms a second line of defense.
It is self-evident how Ma'anshan's defense is at this time.
"Dong...dong...dong..."
The Qing army from the northwest approached, and the sound of drums from the northwest of Ma'anshan followed closely.
"Attention, the Qing army has entered one hundred and fifty feet..."
All musketeers in position..."
…
"The Qing army entered one hundred and twenty feet, ready to shoot freely..."
"put…"
"Pah...pah...pah..."
In an instant, a series of gunfire sounded.
The bullets fired at high speed flew towards the Qing army rushing over like rain. In a blink of an eye, the Qing troops rushing in front fell to the ground one by one like wheat being harvested.
"Snapped…"
I saw a Qing soldier whose head was directly broken by a bullet, and his brains were scattered everywhere.
"Snapped…"
Another Qing soldier was hit in the body, and even the kinetic energy of the bullet had not subsided. It passed directly through his body and shot into the arm of the Qing soldier behind him.
"ah…"
The pain instantly occupied the man's brain, causing him to cover his arms and cry.
"Snapped…"
Less than a moment before the Qing soldier wailed, another bullet flew over and hit his body.
He fell to the ground immediately, and the blood on the wound was like running water, suddenly staining the soil on the ground red. His body twitched, and tears kept flowing from the corners of his eyes.
The battlefield is cruel, and human life is like a piece of grass.
However, the war is still going on and the fighting cannot stop.
"Pah...pah pah pah pah..."
On the bandit-suppressing army's side, gunshots were fired one after another, like firecrackers.
In just ten breaths of time, some warriors could even fire six or seven shots.
"Attention, the Qing army has entered Sixty Zhang..."
"Everyone speed up..."
"Pah...pah...pah..."
Even though the Qing troops in front kept falling, the Qing troops behind them could only push forward after being driven away by the cavalry behind them with their swords drawn.
Even though every bandit-suppressing army had excellent marksmanship, it was still too slow for the large influx of Qing troops.
Dead Qing troops were scattered all over the mountains and plains, and even among the Qing troops who came up from behind, many people could only step on the fallen corpses to move forward.
For the Qing army behind them, they could not see the death in front. However, he could feel the sharpness of the cavalry machete behind him.
However, for the Qing army rushing in front, people were dying every second. It's just a matter of a few seconds or dozens of seconds.
Maybe it's just that for many animals, humans don't run fast. But if you just run the distance of a hundred or dozens of feet, humans will also need to spend a lot of time.
The distance is still shortening, even if the people running in front are changing one after another. As long as the Qing troops from behind keep coming, there will always be someone rushing forward.
The gunfire of the bandit suppressing army was still firing intensively.
A total of three thousand musketeers were placed behind the first low wall in Ma'anshan. And the same was true in the first trench.
It's not that the bandit-suppressing army doesn't want to release more people, but it's just that the place is so big. There are too many people, and there is no way to spread them out.
"Attention, the Qing army will enter thirty feet..."
"The 3rd and 4th regiments in the trenches are preparing...
"put…"
"Bang bang bang..."
There was a burst of gunfire.
"Kill..."
The constant deaths of Qing troops in front undoubtedly stimulated the people coming up from behind. They could only reduce their inner fear by shouting loudly.
However…
"put…"
“Pah…pah pah pah pah…
There was another burst of gunfire. Compared with the previous but weak gunfire, although it was a continuous attack, the gunfire coming from Ma'an Mountain seemed to be stronger at this time.
In an instant, bursts of gunfire knocked down the Qing troops who were entering thirty feet away from the bandit-suppressing army's defense line.
At this time, the musketeers in the first trench also fired freely following the musketeers in the first low wall. The original single-row musket shooting turned into double-row shooting, and the number of bullets scattered changed from three thousand to six thousand.
For the Qing army rushing in front, one can imagine the severity of the blow.
The gunshots continued, like firecrackers being set off rapidly and non-stop. The continuous "pap-pap-pap-pap" sound was like the call of death in front of the Qing army.
Every moment, people are dying, or falling to the ground and wailing.
Death, or death is painless. But those who were wailing might still be trampled by the Qing troops coming up from behind, and their lives would be worse than death. "
Due to the doubling of the gun fire of the bandit suppressing army, the number of Qing troops who fell within 30 feet of the bandit suppressing army's defense line also increased exponentially.
For a time, the Qing army within this range was completely empty.
As a result, the Qing army's original military line had entered the bandit suppression line within a range of 30 feet, but now it has retreated to a range of 50 feet.
The time it took for the Qing army to charge from the 150-foot range of the bandit-suppressing army's defensive line to the 30-foot range of the defensive line was only about ten breaths (about a minute).
At this time, these Guards soldiers can fire at least five rounds of bullets, and some can even fire as many as seven rounds. Plus the first volley of shots. In other words, each Guards soldier fired at least six rounds of bullets.
Facing the dense Qing army, even with a 10% hit rate, nearly two thousand Qing soldiers were killed or injured.
Two thousand people, this may be nothing compared to looking at the long march route. However, the ground full of corpses shocked the Qing army behind them.
"Pah...pah pah pah..."
Time is passing, and the sound of gunshots on the battlefield is still ringing.
The front lines of the Qing army once again surged into the thirty feet of the bandit-suppressing army's defense line. However, as the soldiers in the first trench of the bandit suppression army opened fire.
There were too many Qing troops who fell within a distance of fifty to thirty feet, and the whole area looked like a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses, which was frightening.
As the army moves forward, the long defense line cannot be defended by a few muskets.
Finally, the forward Qing army entered a range of thirty feet away from the bandit suppressing army.
In this range, the Qing troops in front could even see the bandit suppressing troops who were firing against the low wall at this moment.
