Chapter 357: The Slave Has a Shield Car, I Have a Cannon (Third Update, Ask for Subscription)

"It's a pity that the distance was too far and no ricochets were formed."

Seeing that the solid shells fell in the main formation of the Qing army, but only hit a dozen people, Mao Chengzhi said regretfully. At such a long distance, you can only play solid bullets, which is just a meaning.

"I've got a shield car......"

Talking to himself in his heart, Mao Chengzhi ordered.

"Let's attack!"

With an order, the neatly arranged horizontal lines began to move. At the same time, "Knock, Knock......" A neat drum sound, accompanied by the drum beat, the warriors moved forward step by step.

The Dongjiang Army moved!

The musket team of nearly 5,000 people, lined up in neat horizontal formations, under the cover of armored heavy infantry and cavalry on both flanks, launched an attack on the main formation of the Qing army, and as they moved, the artillery also moved. The main formation of more than 10,000 people looked like a red wave, and launched an attack on the east in front of it.

"Actually took the initiative to attack?"

Hanni's eyes widened in surprise, he didn't expect the other party to be so bold - bold!

Not only did he go out of the city, but he also took the initiative to attack, which is really evil!

"Change the tiger to open the mountain formation!"

As a veteran of battle, Hanni was extremely fast, and with his order, the 20,000 Goryeo Eight Banners immediately turned into 8 small squares, the squares were in a "V" shape, and the sixteen red-coated cannons were located on the two wings.

In the front row of the first 8 small phalanxes, the shield carts turned into a breastwork to provide cover for the birdmen in the rear, and behind the birdmen were pikemen.

Looking at this formation, it is also decent, in fact, this kind of Fuhu Kaishan formation, is the Ming army and gunners often used the formation, both for defense and for offense, in Wanli when the Korean army has repeatedly broken the Japanese in this formation, the North Koreans are just a kind of example.

However, now Han Ni felt that the formation of the Ming army was a little strange, but it was just a few thin horizontal formations. They walked in a neat pace, slowly approaching the shield cart. On their flanks were cavalry on the outside, and on the inside were armoured men in columns, apparently to cover the central column. In the course of the march formed a strange half-moon shape.

What surprised Han Ni even more was the artillery of the Ming army - those red-coated cannons were actually mounted on wheeled carts, and they were pulled by horse-drawn carts to move with the army, which was beyond his imagination. He even watched in amazement as the gun carriages moved rapidly across the battlefield.

"No wonder they take the initiative to attack ......"

With such artillery, there is no difference between defending and attacking!

Although he didn't quite understand why the Ming army discharged such a thin formation, as the Ming army approached, in the face of the approaching Ming army, Han Ni still ordered the red-coated cannon to fire first.

The shells fell into the advanced horizontal team, and immediately set off a bloody storm, accompanied by a burst of screams, and from time to time some soldiers were hit by solid bullets fired by the Qing army's artillery.

"Steady, steady...... One, two, one, one, two, one......"

Li Fugui, who was in the team, shouted loudly while stepping on his feet, and from time to time used a spear to cross the front of the team to ensure the neatness of the team.

He is nearly fifty years old, although his hair and beard are all white, and he cannot go into battle in armor, but as a musketeer, he still makes peace.

Just hold the queue and shoot at the right distance.

Despite the fact that people were constantly knocked out in the line, the fighters in the back row would immediately replenish the front row to maintain the density of the front row, and they marched side by side, completely unaffected by the shells, although their horizontal line began to bend a little as they marched, but the overall formation was maintained.

At the same time, the Ming artillery accompanying the attack also arrived at the gun position, and when approaching a position of one thousand meters, the artillerymen quickly put down the artillery wagons and pushed the artillery to aim at the Qing artillery.

During the artillery movements of the Ming army, Hanni, who had been bombarded by the red-clothed artillery for a while, finally understood why the Ming army made this horizontal formation - he was thin enough, and if he hit it with one shot, at most he would knock down two or three Ming troops.

"Quick, pass the order, let the artillery team hit the armored soldiers on both flanks first!"

The queue of the armored soldiers is a column, and if you hit it with one shot, you can penetrate at least a dozen people, and it is more cost-effective to hit that side.

Almost at the moment when his words fell, the artillery bombardment of the Ming army began, compared to the Qing artillery team aimed at the infantry, the artillery of the Ming army aimed at the artillery team of Jiannu as soon as it came up.

Even they shot out of the high-explosive grenades, the grenades whistling towards the Qing artillery position, at this distance, these nine-pound guns can accurately hit the shells near the Qing artillery position, at the moment when the shells hit the ground, accompanied by a violent explosion, the steel fragments roared and scattered, the Qing artillery that was originally running to load the ammunition, at the moment of the explosion, even most of them stood straight there to meet the baptism of shrapnel.

Those large or small shrapnel roared into their bodies, easily tore their flesh and blood, and then shattered their bones, and the violent shock wave threw their stumps and broken arms into the air, and even the flames generated during the explosion ignited several broken powder kegs, and the violent explosion of the powder kegs directly knocked several red-coated cannons to the ground, but it was only a blink of an eye, and the Qing army's artillery team lost its combat effectiveness.

At this moment, not to mention those Goryeo Eight Banner soldiers, but Han Ni, who had heard of the amazing power of the Pingyu Army artillery team, was all dumbfounded-how could this flowering bomb be so powerful!

At this moment, Han Ni seemed to understand why the emperor would ask Kong Youde all day long if they had made a flowering bomb, this flowering bomb was too powerful!

At the same time, the artillery team of the Ming army turned its target to the main formation, and the shells accurately fell into the formation, and in an instant, accompanied by a loud bang, the violent shock wave mixed with countless steel fragments swept across the ground violently, overturning a large number of people around!

For a time, in the violent explosion, the steel fragments flew around, and the air was filled with flying gray dust and red metal fragments, and the North Koreans in it did not even have a chance to dodge, but just stood up to meet the artillery bombardment of the Ming army.

Even the thickened shield carts were turned into a pile of rotten wood under the tearing of steel fragments and the impact of the shock wave, and some of the shield carts were even directly hit by cannonballs, along with the people nearby to be blown to pieces.

Under the fierce shelling, the shield cart as an artifact of the Great Qing Dynasty was completely useless, and finally turned into a pile of rotten wood......
