The scorching iron bullet smashed a section of the horse and did not bounce off the ground.

This is the position that Liu Yu deliberately chose, close to the river, it is soft soil, and the shells cannot bounce, and it cannot hurt a few people.

What appears to be a simple pile of wood is actually filled with dirt at the back, which can effectively resist the bombardment of small cannons.

He judged that the Cossacks did not have heavy artillery, and as he judged, the Cossacks who came out to rob had only two light small cannons.

The soldiers in the formation were all waiting for orders.

Arrogant Butu was not nervous at all. He knew that the troops in his hands were an elite, selected from the children's army and the Beijing camp.

Not just some people can follow Liu Yu from Beijing to Nuer Gandusi at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, and then return to the Songhua River from the mouth of the river and continue to fight. If this is the norm of the Dashun army, the war in the northwest is not worth mentioning at all.

Some of the best and most well-known veterans in the chariot formation wore armor from the Acropolis of Handori. Wearing two layers of armor, it is to deal with the hand-to-hand combat that will start in a while.

This is the experience of the Xinshun army on the battlefield at the end of the Ming Dynasty after Jingxiang. Before Emperor Taizong received enough artillery and arquebuses and completed the mixed hot and cold military reform at the level of the Thirty Years' War, the way to counter the attack of the Later Golden Shield was to counterattack with elite heavy steps.

From the Battle of Jieqiao in the Three Kingdoms period to the Battle of Yuncheng in the Two Song Dynasty, this kind of heavy step counter-shock tactics has always been effective, but not everyone can make up a heavy step that dares to counterattack for a short time.

After several shelling by small artillery on the opposite side, the Cossacks of the whole squad were already close to the firing range.

The Cossacks on foot were lined up in three columns, and the men in the first row stuck their heavy axes and long knives in the ground, using their usual tactics.

After the first row of people shoot, they retreat to the back to load, and the people in the second row borrow the heavy axes inserted in the first row as spears and forks, continue to shoot, and retreat to reload, so as to keep it continuous.

The Rakshasas had both flintlock pistols and heavy arquebuses, and the bayonet, a weapon that had begun to be equipped in Western Europe, was still a rarity in the Cossacks of the frontier.

The only flintlock musketeers were moving along with the shield cart they were pushing.

Once close, relying on a salvo to suppress, the hand-to-hand combatants took advantage of the situation to open the rejection.

Bang bang bang......

Rows of volleys, under the numerical advantage of the Rakshasas, even if the people in the car formation had cover, they were still suppressed.

Squatting behind the bunker, he grabbed a handful of silver rubles that he had traded with the Rakshasas, and made a loud and cheering sound to counter the gunfire of the Rakshasas and boost morale.

From beginning to end, Liu Yu never shouted any slogans such as serving the country with loyalty, but used "money ability" throughout the whole process.

The clanging of silver coins made the blood of the veterans in armor ready to counterattack.

The firing lasted about five minutes from a distance of about sixty or seventy paces. People in the Rakshasa team kept being shot down, and seven or eight were injured in the formation.

For five minutes, the only thing he felt was doubt.

That's it?

That's how this Rakshasa people fight, how can they make Liu Yu sad and depressed towards Westerners?

Even if this is not the Rakshasa camp, even if the Rakshasa is a Europa barbarian, it seems that this is the case? How did Liu Yu conclude that the level of the Westerners' military formation was better than that of the dynasty?

It is always said that we should choose the good ones and follow them, and we must learn Western methods. Proud of Lau Butu thought to himself, study? Learn a fart!

What is there to learn from this method of pushing a shield cart to break the formation in close combat? The same is true of the Westerners' wars in Beijing?

The Cossacks pushing the carriage had approached the rejection of the horses, and the musketeers in the carriage fired another round at the Rakshasas in the distance.

Just as the guns rang out in the cart array, the Rakshasa flintlock musketeers, who were hiding behind the carriage, suddenly stepped forward.

A salvo was fired at the soldiers who were being reloaded.

Smoke rose in the air, and strong men with heavy axes began to move the wood to reject the horses. More than a hundred paces behind him, the somewhat impatient Cossack cavalry was still waiting for orders.

The first line of rejection was removed, and the flintlock musketeers hid behind to continue reloading, while the arquebusiers in line continued to cover.

There was no hurry and continued to wait.

After the second volley of the flintlock musketeers behind the carriage, Lau Butu shouted, and the long-recuperated armor took advantage of the gap in reloading, and jumped out of the cart formation with him, and rushed towards the carts.

When a veteran soldier beside him was about to rush into the crowd of carts and slash at him, a Cossack on the opposite side drew a short gun from his waist and shot the veteran in the head.

The blood splashed on the face of Jiao Lao Butu seemed to remind this man who was heavy on armor and short and counterattacked: Times have changed.

The Cossacks behind the cart were not frightened by the counter-onslaught of the arrogant Tubtu and did not panic.

They quickly formed a squad, armed with heavy axes or sabers, and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the men led by Jiao Lao Butu.

After slashing a Rakshasa to death, his eyes were drawn to the Cossack who had just shot.

The person who was killed in blood could only see at a glance that the opposite side was a master. The first shot killed one of the soldiers, and the soldiers stuck their short guns into their belts, armed with axes about a man high.

An old soldier slashed with a knife, and the Cossack struck with an axe and gun with both hands, and his steps were not chaotic at all, but took a small step forward at the moment of the fight.

Picking it up, the tail of the gun slashed downward, and the iron tip of the tail of the axe pierced the veteran's thigh. The veteran was in pain, his thigh was pierced near his knee, and with a shake of the knife in his hand, the Cossack slammed it, took a half step forward and knocked down the veteran on the leg directly, and the axe and gun stabbed the veteran in the throat.

After stabbing him, he didn't care whether his opponent was dead or not, quickly withdrew his weapon, took half a step back, adjusted the position of holding the axe gun, and swung back to the starting position with it diagonally in front of him.

"Damn, there are two hits."

Seeing that this guy had already killed two of his companions, he didn't drag the slightest bit of mud and water, and he could tell from the distance from which he held the gun that this was an old oilman.

Spat and rushed to the front of the Cossack. He knows very well the use of the horse chopping knife, and he must at least pretend to be powerful, forcing the other party to deal with it, and luring the other party to show his flaws.

With his arms raised, he made a gesture of slashing diagonally, in fact, leaving seven points of strength, which was to trick the Cossack on the opposite side to fight with an axe or spear, or to dodge.

For this kind of heavy knife, you can only stand it with the strength of the waist and abdomen and the footsteps, but as long as you choose to go to the frame, the strength will make you old, and there will be flaws.

However, the Cossack on the opposite side was not fooled at all, but took half a step back as he slashed at the arrogant Laubutu. Originally, the right leg lunge was in front, but it was retreated backwards, and it became that the left leg was in front, and the right leg was slightly bent in the back and could exert force at any time.

The axe gun in his hand also changed from the starting posture of defense in front of him to the power posture of resisting on the shoulder. Then his right leg exerted his strength, took advantage of the momentum and half-turned, twisted his waist, and resisted the axe and gun on his shoulder that was ready to exert his strength.

Jiao Lao Butu was also a false trick, and the chopping was a flaw, and he didn't use the strength of his waist and abdomen. Seeing the backward stride on the opposite side, he knew that he hadn't deceived the other party this time, so he retreated, and the axe and gun on the opposite side split the air, but he didn't go all out and messed up his steps, and quickly swung back to the starting style.

The two exchanged moves, and they didn't even hear a sound, but it was like two people slashing each other in the air.

However, if it is replaced by someone else, the first time that the arrogant Butu is on the opposite side, it will be dead; And the moment when the Cossack retreated from the beginning to the attack, if he was old with his arrogance, he would also be dead.

The Cossacks stared at Jiao Lao Butu, and Jiao Lao Butu also stared at each other, and the battle just now made both of them know that the opposite side was an old oilman on the battlefield, and a little carelessness would definitely die.

After a few temptations, he finally seized the opportunity.

At the moment when the weapons of the two people were together, he took advantage of the armor on his body, and was next to the consequences of being cut on the shoulder, withdrew his horse, and twisted the handle of the opponent's gun with both hands.

Fighting out the strength of the milk, he twisted the opponent's axe and gun horizontally, so that the two hands of the opposite Cossack holding the gun were crossed and could not exert force.

The Cossack was also very experienced, and the moment he was twisted by Jiao Lao Butu, he already knew that he couldn't hold it.

Years of experience made him withdraw his hand directly, and took advantage of the situation to grab the arm of the caro, and his right leg was stuck under the crotch of the caro, so that the carrot butu could not pierce his leg with the tail of the axe gun.

As soon as the body twisted, the waist and abdomen exerted force, and he wanted to throw Jiao Lao Butu on his back. The armor on Jiao Lao Butu saved his life again, and the extra dozens of catties made the Cossack's first back not fall, and this time Jiao Lao Butu did not give this Cossack another chance and strangled his neck.

The bull-like neck was strangled and burst out of green tendons, but in the end it still didn't break free......

Throwing down the strangled Cossack in his arms, and looking at the corpses piled up next to him that were still squirming and twitching, he was a little afraid.

I didn't want to wear armor, and the one on my shoulder just now was over......

Hand-to-hand combat was only a matter of moments, and the musketeers covering in the rear pulled out their axes stuck in the ground, the first team fired to cover, and the two columns behind began to advance in turn.

The Cossack cavalry, further afield, also finally waited for the order to allow the charge.

Several Cossacks in the front row stretched out their hands and drew crosses on their chests, clenched their grips on brittle wooden guns made of birch, unfolded in formation, and began to jog faster.

Just when these Cossack cavalry switched from jogging to small steps, Liu Yu in the flanking woods finally thought that it was time.

Once the cavalry moves from jogging to fast running, it is already difficult to adjust. The jogging steering only requires a distance buffer of seven or eight meters, while the fast running steering requires at least forty or fifty meters.

The formation of the Rakshasas had already been unfolded, especially as the musketeers in the formation began to alternate, and this was the perfect time to attack on the flanks.

A little later, those Cossack cavalry might break through the chariot defenses; Earlier, cavalry could also be adjusted, and musketeers could switch to the defensive.

The drums beat, and the Dashun musketeers, who had already been prepared, began to shoot according to the order. Instead of paying attention to the musketeers who were advancing alternately, they chose to shoot from the side the Cossack cavalrymen who began to run fast.

Others threw themselves from the side near the cart where the hand-to-hand combat was most intense.

Most of the people from the Kuwu, Hezhe and other tribes who followed Liu Yu to "pay tribute" did not participate in frontal battles, but were assigned by Liu Yu in the nearby woods to hunt down Cossacks who might flee after the battle by their hunting skills.

Bang bang bang......

A series of gunshots rang out, and the Cossacks, who had already begun to charge, did not expect to be attacked from the flanks at all, and even if their horsemanship was good, it was difficult to stop at this time.

As soon as Liu Yu's gunfire rang out, the entire battlefield was in chaos. Some Cossacks chose to ignore the flank attacks and continued to speed up their horses, charging the carts with crispy wooden spears; The other part of the Cossacks threw their spears directly, drew their sabers from their sides, and turned their horses forward, trying to go around in circles and counterattack the flanks.

However, it was too late.

Du Feng and the light cavalry of the government soldiers of Handoliwei also followed Liu Yu's gunfire and went straight to the flank of the Rakshasa people. Having hacked the gunners to death, a flank attack was launched at the Cossacks who were trying to fight back in a circle.

Cavalry was the key to the battlefield, especially when the infantry in the Cossack formations was still armed with arquebuses and without bayonets.

They were already confused when they heard the gunfire from the rear and from the side, and with the fire of the three small cannons hidden in the car formation, these Cossacks in the formation of infantry completely collapsed.

Someone chose to ignore the fire of the car formation, turning around and firing freely at the sides.

And some people directly shouted: "No more! No more! The cavalry is behind, run! ”

The first few men to shout were the smartest, threw their muskets in their hands, and ran towards the riverbank. The Cossacks lived along the water, everyone was a good swimmer, and although the Heilongjiang River was wide, they were sure that they could escape from the water.

The two who ran to the river first tore their shirts and jumped into the water, and their thick arms like oak roots slashed hard, and they flew out more than two meters.

More and more people jumped into the water to flee for their lives, including some cavalrymen, who may have been reluctant to take their horses, but even led their horses to swim across the river to escape for their lives.

Du Feng and Handoliwei's soldiers and light cavalry had turned to pursuit, which was what they were best at.

The remnants of the Cossack cavalry were in disarray, and there was no possibility of hedging at all. The most stubborn Cossacks rushed to Liu Yu's vicinity, but were still knocked off their horses by the musketeers beside Liu Yu.

Most of them ran to the river, flanked by trees, where they could not run fast. They trust the raging river more than the woods.
