On the night of May 25, 1641, Mo Ming stood solemnly behind a bunker made of wooden boxes, and carefully observed everything outside the camp. As early as an hour ago, the scouts began to pass on external information back one after another until the Barbarians came close and they were completely driven back to the camp.

However, in just one hour, Mo Ming and others made relatively clear judgments. Although the night had already covered the earth and there was heavy fog outside, the movements of thousands of people could not be hidden. The camp of the East Coast Army was a triangular camp along the river facing northeast, with two barbed wire meshes being drawn. Because time was rushed, the second barbed wire mesh had not arrived yet. The two barbed wire mesh were separated by about twenty meters. At this time, the soldiers of the engineering battalion were urgently hanging barbed wire mesh, while sprinkling caltrops between the two barbed wire mesh.

The soldiers of the two companies of the 103rd Company and the 104th Company were assigned to the southeast side that might be subject to enemy key attacks. The 360 ​​officers and soldiers of the two companies all put on their helmets and armor, lined up in three rows, preparing to carry out three round shots to maintain continuous firepower. In front of them were rows of Eight Banners warriors holding spears. They would use spears to stab the enemy when the enemy approached the wire to block the enemy's actions and add more time to the musketeers to shoot.

More than 300 musketeers from the River Security Corps lined up at the northwest corner of the second barbed wire under the command of Sergeant El Salvador. After many live-fire training, they are actually quite good at the foundation. As long as they overcome the fear and tension of going to the battlefield for the first time, they believe they can perform at a very good level. Moreover, there are still many veterans in the security regiment who have been on the battle formation. They are role models and have a huge effect on the comfort of the new recruits.

As for the most elite Army 1st Company, Mo Ming held it in his hand as a reserve force, and he would be transferred to wherever he was urgent. There would be some gaps left by man in between the barbed wire mesh, and deep pits were dug, and the bottom of the pit was covered with caltrops. At the gap of the inner barbed wire mesh, there were a cannon. The artillery brothers placed the shells (mainly shotguns and grape bullets) in the rough dug bunker, preparing to give the nearby barbarians a big surprise.

In short, the well-trained East Coast soldiers had already turned the camp into a hedgehog in just two or three hours. They were quite prepared and calm and had time to finish their dinner in batches before the war started.

A loud shout suddenly sounded in the night, followed by a slightly chaotic sound of running footsteps.

"Note, the barbarians have begun to attack." Some veteran non-commissioned officers and platoon leaders began to warn the soldiers under their hands. Some of the soldiers in the 103rd Company and 104th Company were indifferent, some were biting their lips, some were holding their rifles silently, and some were gasping heavily, with different expressions on their faces, but one thing was the same, when the officers in the leadership team raised the command knife in their hands, they all raised the rifles in their hands with resolute expressions at the same time.

"Boom! Boom!" The artillery brothers had fired more than ten solid iron bombs forward, and they didn't know what the results were caused in the darkness.

"Shoot!" Chang Kaisheng, who was fully armed, listened to the sound of footsteps. After estimating the distance, he suddenly waved the command knife in his hand.

"Bang! Bang!" More than one hundred rifles were fired almost at the same time. Although affected by the wet mist, the rate of fire was still more than 70%. Some screams came faintly in the dark, but these sounds were quickly covered by the denser footsteps. The first line of musketeers quickly retreated and loaded bullets. The second line of musketeers quickly stepped forward and stood behind the simple chest wall made of wooden boxes to start shooting. In the dark, gun flames sprayed out from the barrel, like blooming flowers of death, taking away fresh lives.

"Huh!" Hundreds of spears shot into the camp of the East Coast people with a sound of breaking through the air. Although they were armed with helmets and fully armed, a considerable number of people were shot on the head and limbs, and screamed and fell to the ground, especially the Eight Banners warriors equipped with leather armor and leather hats. Their thin armor could not stop the sharp spears coming through the air. Many of them were shot from the front chest to the back and fell down without saying a word. With the assistance of the soldiers of the baggage battalion, the medical soldiers hugged their waists and carried the injured soldiers off the line of fire and transported them to the bank of the river for emergency treatment.

The fastest-rushing barbarians had already rushed to the first barbed wire, and the torches hung on the wooden stakes illuminated their hideous faces. Most of these people were shivering, with only a short skirt around their waists. They were at a loss when they faced the barbed wire. The reckless guys were about to climb over but screamed in pain by the barbed wire. However, the people behind didn't know why the front paused, they only knew to keep rushing forward. Therefore, many barbarians were squeezed on the barbed wire by the people behind them as soon as they stood firm in front of the barbed wire.

The heart-wrenching screams sounded in front of the barbed wire. The barbarians who rushed in the front were slapped on the barbed wire by the surging crowds behind, acting as stepping stones for the people behind. The barbarians behind stepped on their bodies, braved the dense musket bullets and step bows, climbed over the barbed wire more than one meter high, held a short spear in their hands, and howled into the first barbed wire. However, their screams suddenly increased at this time. The sharp caltrops on the ground inside the first barbed wire easily pierced their feet, and many people sat directly on the ground in pain, but this caused them to suffer greater damage.

The soldiers of the East Coast Army calmly fired muskets. As the barbarians on the first barbed wire became more and more dense, their results became greater and greater. At this time, the artillery also replaced the shotgun under the command of Li Wenchang. At a distance of only a few dozen meters, the glass slag, broken iron sheets, gravel, iron nails and other items splashed out from the muzzle caused extremely terrifying casualties in the dense crowd. Often, a splash ejection was shot out, an open space could be created in a fan-shaped area in front. All the barbarians within this fan-shaped range fell to the ground screaming and many people were beaten with blood holes and fell to the ground without even reacting.

However, the number of barbarians was too large. Under the attack of multiple firepower, the number of people rushing into the net was increasing. Some fierce people even endured the severe pain and roared towards the second barbarians more than 20 meters away. However, they were naturally shot to death by the arch of the Eight Banners warriors. A very small number of those who rushed to the front were also stabbed by spears and fell to the ground unwillingly. As more and more barbarians rushed in, their bodies even covered the open space between the two barbarians. The barbarians outside the barbarians were also throwing short spears inward to interfere with the shooting rhythm of the soldiers on the east coast, and the battle had entered a white-hot heat.

Mo Ming's hand holding the telescope was also trembling slightly. The battle was too tragic. The barbarian's fighting style of regardless of casualties greatly shocked him. The ground inside and outside the first barbed wire was covered with a thick layer of corpses, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and it was even gradually showing a tendency to cover up the smell of gunpowder burning.

After fighting for many years, he did not really realize the legendary tactics of the sea of ​​people. These barbarians were so crazy that hundreds of people were killed or injured, and they were still charging forward one after another. Do these ordinary barbarian soldiers know what fear is? Mo Ming didn't understand. Maybe they couldn't see the near situation clearly in the darkness and fog, so they only knew to keep moving forward. Maybe these barbarians really didn't know what fear is, and Mo Ming was vaguely unwilling to believe the latter possibility.

More and more barbarians rushed to the second barbarians. They stepped on the bodies of their companions, roaring with their spears, holding spears, and even long swords to kill the people on the east coast who were hiding behind the barbarians. However, their efforts were curbed by the spear formation of the Eight Banners warriors who were waiting behind the barbarians. More than a thousand Eight Banners warriors holding three-meter standard spears kept stabbing the spear forward under the unified command of the officers, then retracted them, and then retracted them. Each time they stabbed them, it would cause blood to thrust in the chest and lower abdomen, and they screamed and fell to the ground. Of course, the barbarians' counterattack also caused them to suffer certain casualties, but the people in front were killed and injured and the people behind were immediately added to ensure the stability of the spear line.

The cruising Eight Banners archers were waving calmly behind the second barbed wire, and from time to time, they used the powerful arch bow in their hands to accurately shoot the barbarians outside. Their targets were mainly those barbarians who seemed to be officers, as well as some guys who jumped very happily. The damage they caused to the barbarians was also huge. Many barbarian officers or warriors fell silently under these precise arch bow shootings. The barbarians who lost their command were in chaos and could only rush forward with their heads covering their heads. Small-scale cluster spear shooting like before was rarely seen, which made the soldiers on the east coast breathe a sigh of relief.

The artillery continued to shoot, and their terrifying lethality was fully demonstrated in this battle. Even the barbarian soldiers who seemed not afraid of death had a great sense of fear of this monster that could tear apart human bodies. They intentionally or unintentionally let go of the range of artillery shooting and were crowded within a narrow range that other artillery could not shoot. However, this provided an excellent target for the East Coast musketeers to volley guns.
