With the sound of a horn, most of the artillery of the Qing army was pulled to the front of the battle with tricycles, and the twelve Shenwei invincible general cannons were placed in front of the formation in turn, which looked very majestic.

The caliber of this kind of artillery is three inches and seven minutes, seven feet and seven inches long, and weighs 2,274 kilograms, and there are five iron rings around the cannon body, so as to strengthen the cannon body, and there are "stars" and "buckets" directly above the muzzle and the bottom for aiming, and the charge is four catties, and the iron bullet weighs eight catties, which can be called the most advanced artillery in the Qing army at present.

In front of the formation, there were also twelve iron-built Shenwei cannons also placed in front of the formation, the caliber of this kind of cannon was smaller than the Shenwei Invincible General Cannon, and the iron bullet weighed eight catties. These cannons are only allowed to be equipped within the Eight Banners, so it is impossible for ordinary green battalions to come into contact with such artillery.

In addition to these two powerful artillery, more than 100 Weiyuan cannons, sub-mother cannons and mortar cannons were placed in front of the Qing army's position, and these small and medium-caliber artillery pieces were more numerous, but their power and firing range were relatively backward. The gunners listened to the order and began to open fire, and hundreds of bullets were fired out and bombarded at Lu Tingyi.

Amid the rumbling of artillery, thousands of soldiers of the Han Army's firearms battalion lined up in a long line and attacked Lü Tingyi, wearing thick cotton armor, carrying long shotguns on their shoulders, and carrying a horizontal knife at their waists. These people can't be equated with ordinary green battalions, but the elite of the Qing Dynasty, and they won't be dispatched at all in ordinary times.

Kangxi held a clairvoyant mirror and looked at the small Lu Tingyi in the distance, that is, a small village and town, under the baptism of the just round of artillery, there have been many hits, but the accuracy of the bullets of the Qing army is not high, so the more than 100 bullets did not cause very heavy casualties.

The soldiers of the Fu Han Army arranged their own formation, shouted slogans in their mouths, and took steps in the direction of the Qing army, waiting for the arrival of the Kangxi army. On the other hand, although the Qing army has occupied many advantages, its morale still seems to be a little low.

Seeing this scene, Kangxi couldn't help but sigh softly and said, "The strength of Chu's morale is really rare. ”

"Emperor Qiqi, Chu Yi on the other side is its most elite one, although the combat power is strong, but after all, after all, it experienced a big war the day before yesterday, and now although the morale is strong, it is not lasting."

Tong Fahai said in a low voice: "Now this battle is bound to completely strangle it to the fullest, so as to boost the morale of our army." When Chu rebels out of Tongcheng, our army can just take advantage of the victory to fight. ”

Kangxi just sighed lightly and did not say anything more, but continued to look at the scenes on the battlefield through the clairvoyant mirror.

In the sound of artillery fire on both sides of the enemy, the Qing soldiers narrowed the distance with the Fu Han army little by little, and from time to time bullets fell in the crowd of the Qing army, crushing out a blood mist, especially as the distance of the Qing army became closer and closer, so more and more Qing soldiers were killed and wounded.

Of course, when the Qing army was suffering from the damage of artillery, the Fu Han army was not good, and many soldiers died in the artillery of the Qing army, but they did not waver for it, and continued to take steps, step by step.

The war of this era was extremely cruel, and both sides had to endure a large number of artillery hits before the bloody battle, although the accuracy of the artillery was extremely poor, but at such a close distance, the lethality of the artillery became much greater.

"Bang!"

The shotgunners of the Qing army had already reached a distance of seventy paces from the Fu Han army, and they leveled the shotguns in their hands, and a storm of projectiles rushed towards the Fu Han army, but due to poor accuracy, only more than sixty Fu Han soldiers fell to the ground.

The soldiers of the Fu Han Army wearing the big red army uniforms were unmoved, and walked out in the thick white smoke of gunpowder, they walked very neatly in the whistle, silent and deadly, as if the round of bullets just now did not cause any casualties to them, nor did they become angry and manic, although the more than sixty Fu Han soldiers had fallen behind them, blood flowing on the ground....

They maintained the rhythm of this pace, holding the flintlock pistols in their hands straight, they had their own pride, the main first division was the first in the Fu Han army, their first regiment was the first in the first division, and death was just waiting in front of them.

Sixty steps.....

Fifty steps.....

Forty steps......

The faces of the Qing army have become dazed and panicked, they don't know what the rebel army on the other side is doing, but it is obvious that the other side is crazy! It's even to the point of face-to-face and still doesn't shoot!

Today's group, up and down, has tasted the sweetness of shooting close to the face, and it was not until forty paces that the soldiers of the Fu Han Army leveled the muzzle of the gun and then pulled the trigger.

"Bang-"

A crisp and powerful gunshot, like a thunderbolt, sounded in the ears of the Qing army, nearly a thousand projectiles at such a close distance, exerted unimaginable power, creating a dense blood line in the crowd of Qing soldiers in front of them, and the Qing soldiers in front of them almost fell directly into a row.

After this round of gunfire, more than 300 people almost fell down on the formation of the Qing army, and a large amount of blood flowed out, making the entire battlefield filled with a bloody atmosphere.

Seeing this scene, many Qing soldiers almost collapsed, and many Qing soldiers who were shot and fell to the ground let out miserable screams from time to time, which simply turned this place into a purgatory on earth.

"Attack!"

After all, the firearms battalion of the Han army is no better than others, this hardcore crop has been eaten for so many years, and its loyalty to the Qing Dynasty is even higher than that of the pure Manchus, although it has suffered such heavy casualties, but it still insists on lining up with the Han army to be shot, and everyone understands that if they retreat at this time, they will definitely die.

Yes, at a distance of forty paces, it can almost be said that it is a queue to shoot, whether it is a flintlock gun or a shotgun, the accuracy has been greatly improved compared to before, and the casualties on both sides have also skyrocketed in this round of shooting.

It's just that no matter how good a shotgun is, it's just an arquebus. After getting rid of the restrictions of the fire rope, the flintlock pistol of the Fu Han army fired at a rate of almost several times that of the shotgun, and often after the Qing army fought one round, the musket of the Fu Han army could hit three or four rounds, and under the suppression of this firepower, the firearms battalion of the Han army of up to 5,000 people was almost dispersed in front of the Fu Han army of 2,000 people.

"Chu backfirearm is so sharp....."

Kangxi gritted his teeth and said hatefully, this battle is not the same as before, it is a dignified battle, but it is not as good as the siege battle a few days ago, in just half an hour, the Qing army has fallen more than a thousand people, and it has not broken up until now, it is completely relying on blood to fight.

Tong Fahai was about to say something, but he saw a Qing army sentry coming from a distance, and that direction was Tongcheng.

"Emperor Qi, Tongcheng Chu Wei has already made a big move, and at most three hours, he will be able to arrive at Lu Tingyi!"

"Good! It's finally here! Command Nersu to lead the cavalry battalion to follow closely, and when our army is holding each other, you can rush to its heart with one blow! ”

Kangxi's eyes were a little excited, as if it was fate, and he even looked forward to this moment slightly.
