Seeing that his warriors were defeated so quickly and so miserably, not only Du Du, but even Yue Tuo, who was lying on the chair waiting for good news, couldn't help but stand up and stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

"This ......" Yue Tuo snorted miserably, angry and anxious, where did this Ming army come out? This firearm is terrible!

Yue Tuo is depressed, Mao Yuanyi is also depressed, is this Yue Tuo a fool, just send this person to break through?

Judging from the comparison of the strength of the two sides, the cavalry of the Qing army was only 1,000 people, while the Tianwu army had 2,500 people in the phalanx in all directions, almost everyone had guns, and the average of two musketeers against one cavalry, there was also an advantage in distance and firepower.

Mao Yuanyi knew the power of firearms, and he also listed in detail all kinds of firearms in his book "Martial Arts", and even recorded the data of the artillery matched with the warship.

Zhu Cihong once told him that after the advent of the age of firearms, any other branch of the army must give way, even the cavalry of the king of the sunset land battle. This sentence shocked Mao Yuanyi, and he has been thinking about and deducing the meaning of this sentence repeatedly these days.

After defeating the cavalry of the Qing army, Mao Yuanyi appeared impatient and immediately ordered the encirclement to be contracted, and the musketeers launched a full-scale attack on the Qing army.

The red flag cavalry was defeated too quickly, disrupting Yue Tuo's plan, and he had not organized his men and horses to resist the attack of the Tianwu army in such a short period of time.

The powerful firepower of the Tianwu Army also made the Qing army frightened, the infantry were a little afraid of battle, and they hid behind the corpses of their comrades, and the Qing army on the periphery was defeated and retreated, and the defense line continued to shrink.

"General Yangwu, what to do! The firepower of the Ming army was too fierce! ”

"We're really surrounded!"

Before, everyone laughed at the Ming army for not knowing what to do, but now it seems that he is really surrounded!

Yue Tuo, who was standing on the high command platform, glanced at the Ming army's formation, and he immediately pointed ahead and said, "Send cavalry to break through the gap between the Ming army's encirclement!" ”

The Ming army encircled in the four directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest, but due to the lack of troops, there was a large gap between the northeast and northwest departments, and the red flag completely broke through from the four corners, and the cavalry broke through and then rushed around the Ming army formation!

"Good!" Du Du nodded, and secretly said that this old brother finally discovered the weakness of the Ming army, although he had already discovered it, he did not dare to break it, for fear of affecting the wisdom of General Yangwu, and was targeted for wearing small shoes.

The second round of cavalry of the Qing army began to break through, and they aimed in the direction of the northwest corner, where there was a gap nearly three hundred paces wide, and the cavalry could quickly rush through.

The sound of hooves was like thunder, and the 1,000 cavalry with red flags galloped across the battlefield strewn with corpses, accelerating towards the undefended void with an unstoppable momentum.

The knights in the front row have already shot the bows and arrows in their hands, and the arrows also brought out a sharp whistling sound, becoming the lead of the cavalry, although they also suffered from the fire of the Ming army's flanks, but the loss was not large, and at this time the cavalry's war horses had also risen to speed, and were galloping with all their might.

Many of the musketeers of the Tianwu Army on the flanks were shot and fell to the ground, which made the Qing infantry hidden behind the corpses kindled hope, thinking that this time their cavalry could tear the encirclement of the enemy army mercilessly, so many people stood up and charged behind the cavalry.

The cavalry of the Qing army soon entered the passage, and they could almost see the appearance of the Qingming army's face, and the Jiannu were ecstatic and ready to rush out of the encirclement, imagining that after breaking through the siege, they relied on their superb cavalry skills to deal a severe blow to the Ming army, and reversed the situation of passive beating in one fell swoop.

This is the thought in the mind of every Qing cavalryman, and they also hang up their bows and arrows, draw their sabers, and just wait for the moment of breaking through.

At this moment, I saw many chariots displayed side by side on the flanks of the two divisions of the Tianwu Army, and many iron pipes were placed on these chariots, like fire guns.

"Bang! Bang! Bang ......."

In an instant, the iron pipes on these chariots spewed out dazzling tongues of fire one after another, and the gunfire rang out like a storm, and the Tartar cavalry that broke through the gap in the shape of a long snake was instantly beaten into a hornet's nest, and even the men and horses fell to the ground.

The Tianwu Army used Thunder chariots equipped with organ guns, and each chariot had two rows of organ guns, each with eighty-one barrels, equivalent to machine guns.

After the organ gun is loaded with ammunition, it is connected with a lead, and after the lead is ignited, it can be fired at one time, and all the ammunition managed by eighty-one guns can be used up in thirty seconds, which is very powerful.

The Thunder Chariot was developed by the Jiangnan Ordnance General Bureau in imitation of the Thunder Gun Car of the British, and the Thunder Gun Chariot of the British has been developed for more than ten years, which is basically a pipe organ gun, and claims that as long as two people operate it, it can fight against a hundred soldiers.

The organ gun has appeared for hundreds of years, and there is no technical content, and Sun Heding's research institute has mastered the idea and imitated it without difficulty.

The Tianwu Army used the Thunder Chariot for the first time in actual combat, and it is difficult to say whether a chariot can resist a hundred soldiers, but at least it can effectively resist the enemy's charge, especially from the side, it is simply cool!

In the face of this most primitive machine gun, the cavalry with red flags was defenseless at all, in fact, it was useless to be prepared, thirty thunder chariots fired at the same time, and the bullets like dense showers and hail immediately swarmed towards the Qing cavalry less than 100 steps away.

In less than two minutes, these dozens of Thunder Chariots fired thousands of projectiles, far more dense than any salvo of muskets.

The projectile ruthlessly penetrated the protection of the Tartar armor, fiercely tore open the musculature on its body, and drilled into the ** fiercely, blood splattered out, the Tartar cavalry let out a painful scream, and the war horse let out a terrible neigh.

The cavalry of the Qing army fell almost like rows of mowing grass one after another, and many men and horses were hit by dozens of bullets, almost all of them were beaten into a sieve, and the Tatar cavalry almost covered the passage between the two formations.

Even the generals of the Tianwu Army of the Thunder Chariot were dumbfounded, and a regimental commander muttered: "My mother-in-law, this thing is going against the sky!" ”

Mao Yuanyi has a deep study of firearms, and he has also studied the Thunder Chariot when it was first equipped with the Tianwu Army, so the deterrent effect is also smaller.

Like the Thunderbolt, the Thunder Chariot is an explosive firepower equipment that is extremely slow to reload, and has great lethality in a short period of time, but its durability is very poor.

When the Thunder Chariot fired, Mao Yuanyi had already waved the command flag and commanded the two musket formations in the north and west to change formations on both flanks, forming a formation similar to a hollow array, and the two wings fired in a counterfire posture.

The two divisions of the Tianwu Army gathered more than 200 steps together, even if they hit the air, they would not hit their own people, and even if they did, there would not be much lethality, and the Tianwu soldiers had double armor and iron shields on the flanks.

Yue Tuo and Du Du on the command platform looked at the slaughtered red flag breakout cavalry, their hearts were dripping blood, so many warriors in the flag were beaten but had no chance to fight back, it was really aggrieved.

Yue Tuo also realized that he had been pitted, and the spacious passage was actually deliberately exposed by the Ming army to lure the warriors of the Eight Banners to death!

Yue Tuo said hatefully: "Continue to shrink the line of defense!" ”
