When the Qing cavalry charged to a hundred and fifty paces away from the Ming army's battle formation, the artillery stopped firing artillery.

The musketeers of the Brave Guard Battalion and the New Battalion crossed the artillery emplacement in a neat formation, lined up in front of the artillery array, and began to fire in a platoon.

"Fire!"

The two battalions totaled more than 8,000 musketeers, lined up in three musket formations, pulled out a long battle line, and a large number of lead bullets were fired at the Qing cavalry.

Most of the musketeers of the new battalion use the Lumi guns eliminated by the Yongwei Battalion, and even the bird guns, which need to be ignited and fired very slowly, and they use the three-stage attack tactics of the Shenji Battalion.

According to historical records, the three-stage attack was a tactical shooting method improved by Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son Mu Ying in the early Ming Dynasty when he used firearms to deal with rebel elephants in Yunnan, and felt that the gunpowder loading speed was too slow.

In a group of three people, the first musketeer shoots, then retreats to the rear of the team to concentrate on reloading, and the second soldier comes forward to fire, and the three alternately reload and fire, making the arquebus efficiency of the originally slow firing rate tripled!

At this time, the new battalion's firecrackers were divided into multiple columns, not only with three strikes, but even with six strikes at most, and the firepower continued to strike at the Qing cavalry.

After the blow of hundreds of artillery pieces of the Shenji Battalion, coupled with the intensive fire of the musketeers, the cavalry of the Qing army has become the end of the crossbow, even if it barely rushes to the front of the Ming army, it cannot cause much conflict to the Ming army's array.

When the few Qing cavalry charged to a distance of only twenty paces from the Ming army's array, Sun Yingyuan immediately ordered: "The pikemen line up!" ”

The 3,000 pikemen of the new battalion, armed with four-meter-long spears, crossed the musket array with neat steps, pointing their spears obliquely at the galloping Qing cavalry.

The remnants of the cavalry of the Qing army, which had rushed through the rain of bullets, had already exhausted their sharpness, and could not form the advantage of group impact, and could not break through the spear formation of the Yongwei battalion at all, and were stabbed off their horses one after another, and died.

Despite the numerous casualties, the infantry in the rear of the Qing army still stubbornly or stupidly approached the Ming army's military formation, leaving a large number of corpses along the way, until the artillery could not hit the dead end, and the artillery of the Shenji battalion temporarily stopped firing.

"Spearmen retreat!"

In the order, the pikemen withdrew behind the musketeers, and the musketeers returned to the front of the formation.

"Array forward! Kill! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Thousands of musketeers stepped forward in several rectangular formations, shouting loudly, the overwhelming sound of killing accompanied by neat steps, with a piece of armor colliding with the roar, it looked extremely powerful and domineering, shocking people's souls.

As they gradually approached the infantry of the Qing army, the musket array rang out again continuously, and each formation took turns firing and firing at the Qing army's head and face.

A large amount of smoke gathered on the position of the Yongwei battalion, filled with a choking smell of sulfur, and under the heavy fire of the Yongwei battalion, the infantry of the Qing army fell in rows.

"Wow! Ooh! Ooh! ”

A large number of shield soldiers appeared in the Qing army to cover the front, and they also shouted in formation, and there were 10,000 people on both sides shouting in unison, and the sound wave after wave soared into the sky!

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

After several rounds of volleys in the Ming army's musket array, the shield soldiers in front of the Qing army have already been beaten into a sieve, and the rear army has also poured a large piece, after all, the Qing army does not have many thick iron shields, and most shields cannot defend against the attack of muskets at all, especially after the distance is getting closer and closer.

However, as the distance shortened, the distance between the two sides entered within sixty paces, and the archers of the Qing army also lined up and began to fire round by back.

A large rain of arrows flew into the Ming army's musket array, although the Ming army's musketeers wore eight-petal hats and iron helmets, but many people still fell from arrows.

However, the Ming army did not send shield soldiers to cover it, but only ordered to stop the advance, fire a salvo in the same place, and attack the Qing army with the largest area of firepower.

The two sides frantically shot at each other within a distance of dozens of paces, the Qing army used bows and arrows, the Ming army used firearms, the Qing army attacked slightly faster, and the Ming army's firearms were more lethal.

In the face of the attack of the Qing army's arrow rain, although there were people in the Ming army's musketeer formation, they were still unwavering, especially the Yongwei battalion in the front, all of which were constantly loading and firing with calm faces.

The musketeers of the new battalion in the rear were not ideal for the first time in the field, but fortunately, there were brave guards in front of them, and there was no fear of collapse.

The performance of the Qing army in the formation was completely different, at first they were quite calm, but when the Eight Banners Army in the front row fell in rows, the people behind were terrified, and the Ming army's firearms were too sharp, as long as they hit, they would die.

There was chaos in the military formation of the Eighth Banner Army, and the Qing soldiers in front did not want to wait to be shot, and they could not retreat, so they could only rush forward and fill up.

When there were still about twenty steps left on both sides, Sun Yingyuan ordered all the cavalry to attack from both flanks, outflanking the two flanks of the Qing army, and disrupting the follow-up formation of the Qing army.

At the same time, pikemen and sword and shield soldiers were also all dispatched, crossing the musket array to prepare to meet the approaching Qing army.

"Get on the bayonet!"

As the pikemen, swords, and shield soldiers had already engaged the Qing infantry, Sun Yingyuan immediately ordered, and the front row of the Yongwei battalion immediately sounded a series of "click, click" sounds, and the soldiers were installing three-edged bayonets, preparing for white-knuckle combat.

"Kill!"

Sun Yingyuan took the lead and roared angrily, and rushed forward with the Glaive Sword in his hand.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The whole army roared in unison, and then all rushed forward, and this was the first time that the musketeers of the Brave Guard Battalion had used bayonets in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy on the battlefield.

The musketeers of the Yongwei Battalion were armed with muskets of about 1.6 meters and three-edged bayonets, standing with their legs one in front of the other, holding the front handguard in one hand and the bend of the front of the butt in the other, the butt was slightly drooping on the side of the supporting leg, pointing at the opponent semi-obliquely, and the tip of the bayonet was slightly at eyebrow level.

In this way, the gun is diagonally above and diagonally downward, just protecting the vital places of one's neck, chest, and abdomen, and the bayonet can be pierced with a flick of the bayonet.

A musketeer of the Yongwei battalion, holding a cold three-edged bayonet against the Tartar in front of him is a fierce stab, the Qing army who died in front of him did not have much armor at all, there was only one layer normally, and the three-edged bayonet easily pierced into the body of the Tartar.

A terrible howl was heard, and a bloody arrow erupted along the groove of the three-edged bayonet, splashing the hot blood of the soldier of the Brave Guard, who kicked the Tartar in front of him and continued to stab the other Tartar.

The pain of being stabbed by a triangular bayonet can only be truly understood by the Tartars who have experienced it themselves, and in the battlefield, the desolate howls of the Tartars when they are stabbed by the triangular bayonets make people panic.

The losses of the Qing army were already very serious, and if they could not suppress the Ming army in the shortest possible time in close combat, so that the Ming army collapsed and retreated, it basically meant defeat.

The Qing army has always been conceited, especially since this entry, the road has been too smooth, making them even more arrogant, sometimes the halo of glory is not a good thing, in order to defend this glory, in the face of an unknown strong enemy, you have to be tough on face, and you will only lose more!

It's like a gold rank player, who thinks that what is in front of him is just a bronze, and after eating the loss of bronze, he wants to take away the other party with an explosive revenge in anger, but it turns out that the other party is a diamond rank.

The battle has begun, and it is impossible to admit cowardice, knowing that he is being abused, he can only be hard-headed, and he will win with a fluke mentality.

This is not something to be encouraged, it is completely a swollen face and a fat man, pretending to be forced to be abused, especially in war, it is completely gambling with the lives of the country and soldiers.

Abatai wanted to fight, but he didn't expect the Eight Banners Army to be so passive in the face of the Ming army in front of him, and even the close combat in the field was suppressed by the Ming army.

The Qing army basically did not rest well at night and during the day, and was hastily formed by artillery sneak attacks, and the cavalry and infantry in the front were severely damaged, and their morale had plummeted, while the morale of the Ming army was booming and prosperous.

As soon as the two armies came into contact, the Qing army was defeated and retreated by the Ming army.

Zhu Cihong immediately ordered the whole army to pursue, not a single soldier, in order to kill and injure the Qing army to the greatest extent!

After the Qing army lost a large number of corpses and fled, Sun Yingyuan let out a long breath, this new city battle, almost completely commanded by him, can finally hand over a perfect record.
