The battle between the Brave Guard and the Yanguli continued and intensified.

"Fire!"

The musketeers of the Yongwei battalion continued to fire calmly under one order after another, shooting the incoming Qing infantry.

On the hillside, Sun Yingyuan held a telescope, looked at the battle situation, and said, "Your Highness, the cavalry of the Tartars has outflanked from both wings, do you need to send cavalry to stop it now?" ”

Zhu Cihong shook his head and said, "No, pass on my order, all the tiger squat cannons and magic arrows move their positions and fire at the cavalry on both wings, and the shield soldiers and pikemen guard the two wings of the musketeers to resist the impact of the Tartar cavalry, and the musketeers will not move and continue to shoot at the Tatar infantry in the middle!" ”

After hearing Zhu Cihong's order, the trumpeter hurriedly blew the horn, while Sun Yingyuan waved the order flag and commanded the change of formation.

Just when the cavalry of the Qing army rushed from the two wings, only to listen to the huge sound of "boom" suddenly from the two wings of the Ming army, the center of the Qing cavalry suddenly bloomed, the cavalry fell down, and the screams came immediately.

Yanguli couldn't help but be surprised, this is the sound of artillery, the artillery of the Ming army has cooled down? He took a closer look and saw that on the two wings of the Ming army, there was a row of small cannons with a large amount of smoke coming out, which was the Tiger Squat Cannon.

Because of the low depression angle, the Tiger Squat Cannon was inconvenient to fire from behind, so it was not used just now.

However, the accident was not only that, the magic arrows in the Yongwei camp raised puffs of smoke, and countless arrows were overwhelmingly shot at the Qing cavalry brigade on both wings, and suddenly there were people on their backs.

The sound of artillery was mixed with the whistling of arrows, and when the Qing cavalry formation was neutral, a large number of people fell, and the whole team immediately became confused.

The power of Daming technology is difficult for the Tartars to imagine, and only when they experience it can they truly understand it.

Zhu Cihong once watched a Korean drama in his later life, in which three divine arrows wiped out 100,000 Ming troops, and he laughed and cried at that time.

The Divine Machine Arrow can fire hundreds of arrows at a time, and although it is powerful, it is not so magical.

The magic arrow is basically useless to use once in a battle, and it is too time-consuming and cumbersome to load, and it is not as brainless as a stick movie at all.

Because the cavalry of the Qing army was too large and the speed was extremely fast, it took a while for the interval between the fire of the tiger squat cannon and the magic arrow, and the Qing cavalry suffered limited losses and quickly broke through.

When the Qing cavalry broke through to a hundred paces, Zhu Cihong immediately ordered Huang Dewei to lead the cavalry on both wings of the Yongwei battalion to attack and intercept, and the cavalry fought against the cavalry.

In the middle battlefield, the elite of the dense Qing army was wearing heavy armor, brandishing weapons, and rushing with shouts.

These were all heavy armor soldiers with white flags, more than 4,000 people, rushing to the front of the rows of Tartars, holding shields in their left hands and large swords and short axes in their right hands.

"Put!"

Seeing the Qing soldiers roaring wildly, Sun Yingyuan took over the command flag of the infantry army, decisively ordered to shoot, and immediately the more than 2,000 musketeers in the first five rows pulled their triggers.

However, the Qing infantry who attacked the middle of the Yongwei battalion also knew that their performance would determine the outcome of the entire battlefield, so everyone behaved very tenaciously and braved the rain of bullets and bullets of the Yongwei battalion, still desperately charging forward.

Not long after, the Qing infantry had advanced within sixty paces, and the Qing soldiers in the front row began to return fire with bows and arrows at the Yongwei battalion.

As the distance between the two sides got closer and closer, when they reached thirty steps, the Qing army had already seen a row of shield soldiers holding long shields in front of the Ming army in front of them.

Zhu Cihong saw that the Qing cavalry on both wings was entangled by the cavalry of the Yongwei battalion, so he had to transfer the shield soldiers.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the Ming army, the Qing infantry couldn't help but feel refreshed, and now they could finally show their bravery in close combat.

The Qing soldiers were full of confidence in their hearts, as long as the two sides started a close battle, the soldiers of the Ming army in front of them were by no means the opponents of the Qing warriors.

At present, there are still more than 4,000 infantry in the Qing army, and at this time, they are all clenching the weapons in their hands and attacking more frantically.

The battle continued, and the cavalry of the Yongwei battalion on both flanks, while charging and intercepting, shot and killed some of the Qing cavalry, and the Qing cavalry also returned fire with bows and arrows.

After only one round of shooting, the cavalry on both flanks had already rushed together, and the 1,000 cavalry of the Yongwei battalion copied their spears one after another and melee with the Qing cavalry.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, the Tiger Squat Cannon of the Yongwei Battalion also began to stop firing and cool down.

Yanguli originally had nearly 3,000 cavalry, and nearly half of them were given to Tan Tai as the shield of the army.

For the army behind the shield of the large army, the cavalry is the most suitable, even if it encounters a large number of Ming troops, it can be harassed if it cannot be defeated, slow down the pursuit of the Ming army, and at the same time can quickly retreat.

However, Tan Tai relied on his military exploits and was overconfident, and dared to fight a decisive battle with the Yongwei battalion twice as large as himself, which eventually led to the annihilation of the entire army.

Yanguli had nearly 2,000 cavalry in Liangxiang, plus the 300 Han cavalry that began to be killed, and the tiger squat cannons and Shenji arrows when charging on both flanks, there were only about 1,000 Qing cavalry engaged with the cavalry of the Yongwei battalion.

In the middle, the charging Qing infantry still fell in rows, but the distance was getting closer and closer, and the musketeers of the Yongwei battalion could already see the hideous faces of the Qing army.

Just when the infantry of the Qing army broke through to the front twenty steps of the Yongwei battalion, they saw that in the front row of the Yongwei battalion, everyone took out fire folds, and then suddenly threw dozens of long cylindrical objects, with a cluster of sparks and light smoke, and flew towards them in the air with a tumbling in the air.

"What are these Ming soldiers doing throwing firecrackers?" Many Qing soldiers were curious and even felt a little ridiculous when they saw the big firecrackers with the fuses that had been lit thrown in the Yongwei battalion.

However, in the next moment, the faces of many Qing soldiers turned pale, only to hear the sound of a huge explosion sounding, accompanied by a violent wave of air, many of the Qing soldiers in the first few rows were blown up on the spot, accompanied by a piece of stumps and broken remains, extremely tragic.

In the explosion, countless pieces of iron and sand and gravel burst out, bringing out a strong force, aimlessly shooting in all directions, hitting the Qing soldiers' iron armor, helmets, and shields, making a sharp sound.

This is the grenade of the Yongwei battalion, which is called "10,000 enemies" in the Ming army, but the volume of 10,000 enemies is too large, larger than a human head, weighing dozens of catties, and most of them are used to defend the city.

The grenade used by the Yongwei battalion was improved by a craftsman of the War Bureau by imitating the "earth-shaking thunder" in the Song Dynasty, which was the earliest grenade, the volume was about the same size as the grenade of later generations, the body was thick and small, the body was filled with gunpowder, the shell was wrapped in pig iron, and the fuse was on it.

When used, the length of the lead is determined according to the distance of the target, and after detonation, it can blow the pig iron shell into pieces and pierce the iron armor.

The grenade gunpowder equipped with the Yongwei battalion has a perfect formula, and the power is greater than that of the earth-shaking thunder in the Northern Song Dynasty.

It's just that because the technology is not as good as that of later generations, and the need to load more gunpowder to enhance the power, the grenade is quite large, and each soldier of the Brave Guard Battalion can only carry one to hang on his waist.

Only when the cavalry of the Qing army rushed to the range of twenty paces did they throw the grenade, giving the Qing army a heavy blow at close range.

Later, the first battalion commander Zhang Dabiao's superior, Commander Li, once said: Even if you are a girl, you can throw a grenade into the circular fortification 30 meters away.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion take throwing 30 meters as the qualified line, 40 meters as excellent, and 50 meters as the big guy.

Sure enough, after hundreds of grenades were thrown out in the first row, the Qing troops were immediately blown up, and some Qing soldiers were directly killed by the explosion of gunpowder, and some Qing soldiers were used to piercing their bodies by the iron pieces entrained in the grenades, and died unexpectedly.

There were also quite a few Qing soldiers, although they were located relatively far behind, and they were not affected by the explosion.

When the first row of soldiers of the Brave Guard Battalion finished throwing grenades, the second row of soldiers threw them, followed by the third row.

Zhu Cihong was worried that throwing out the brain would cause damage to overflow and waste ammunition, so he asked the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion to practice trapezoidal throwing with stones at ordinary times.

In the explosion of several rounds of grenades, the Qing army was bombed extremely tragically, and many Qing soldiers were a little stunned by the bombing for a while, and their hearts were more afraid.
