Ruduke also carried a shield on his back, and the Eight Banners of True Manchuria in these years were all all-round warriors, and he was proficient in horse warfare, foot warfare, archery, hand-to-hand combat, so the weapons he carried were more miscellaneous, bows, arrows, shields, firearms, lancets, lancets, etc., all of which could be carried, as long as they could afford it, they could also carry it.

Hearing someone shouting "javelin", Rudok hurriedly threw his bow and arrow to get the shield, but he was still a beat too late, and before he could raise the shield, the javelin was pierced. There was a popping sound around him, and his hair stood on end. Someone had already been stabbed and screamed hoarsely, but Rudok was lucky and unscathed. He hurriedly put the rattan shield on his head, followed by another whirring wind. The second wave of javelin attacks has begun!

There was another muffled bang, it should have been a javelin tied with a rattan card, and occasionally there were a few terrible sounds and screams of sharp blades piercing into the human body.

Rudok was lucky, and he still hadn't been tied into a skewer. But beside him, there was a man from the Guerjia family who had been pierced in the arm by the javelin, and was kneeling on the ground screaming - he had actually raised the rattan plaque, but he still couldn't completely block the penetrating javelin!

However, although the javelin is sharp, it is inconvenient to carry and too difficult to throw. So the number will not be too much, and now there have been two waves on the opposite side, which should be about the same, and then as long as it is not a turtledove foot on the field, Rudok will not be afraid.

As soon as Rudok thought of this, he heard a loud bang, and then his left arm sank, and there was a muffled sound on it, and he didn't need to look at it to know that it was the long arrow of the Ming army, and it would definitely not be able to penetrate his rattan shield.

Finding that the other party began to shoot arrows, Rudok also breathed a sigh of relief. His men not only had shields, but also two and three layers of armor, and bows and arrows were of limited lethality to them.

"Collect the shield, take the bow and arrow!" Rudoke hurriedly ordered his subordinates to collect their shields and take bows, and shoot at the Ming army on the opposite side.

Later generations of the Qing Dynasty liked to blow the bow horse to take the world, this statement is of course a bit exaggerated, the equipment of the Eight Banners is both many and good, but not only the bow horse. However, their advantages in these two areas are indeed not small!

But their greatest advantage is not that they shoot their bows and arrows more accurately or that their horses ride better, but that they are "all-rounder". There were more than 200 warriors under his command, all of whom could ride horses, be good at hand-to-hand combat, and shoot arrows!

Although the infantry battalion of the new army against him numbered 500, only 120 of them were archers, and only 80 could really shoot. Moreover, the archery skills of these eighty people are still not as good as the more than two hundred on the opposite side, and both the accuracy and the speed of archery are a little worse.

In other words, the bow and arrow firepower possessed by the infantry battalion of the 500-strong New Army was roughly one-third of that of more than 200 people and the Eight Banners Manchurian Niulu. If one more Niu Lu comes up and makes the two sides equal in numbers, then the Eight Banners will have a sixfold advantage in bow and arrow firepower!

Fortunately, the front-line troops of the new army are equipped with armor, whether it is cloth armor or slatted armor, as long as the quality is passed, the effect on anti-arrow is not bad, even if it is specially used to break through the armor, it can only break through the gap between the armor pieces.

Moreover, there are more than 100 sword players on the side of the new army who can be placed in the first row to block arrows.

Therefore, although the infantry battalion of this new army is inferior to the opponent in bow and arrow firepower, it can still hold it.

Just as the vanguard of both sides began to exchange bows and arrows, their follow-up troops also came up. On the side of the new army of Kenan came up another battalion of infantry, and the Qing army had four other Niulu—the one Jiala sent out by Arzin to fight had five Niulu, and Luduke took one, and now the remaining four had all come up. Now the Manchurian soldiers have a slight advantage in numbers!

In this case, it is inevitable to lose the archery, after all, it is impossible to rely on cloth armor and slatted armor to avoid 100% the killing of arrows, and it is impossible to withstand the enemy's six-fold advantage in arrowhead firepower for too long.

"Drums! Get ready to charge! ”

Tian Qingyi, who was in command of the formation, also knew that archery was not good, so he ordered the drums to form a charging formation.

The two drummers followed Tian Qingyi, and when they heard the order of the regiment commander, they beat the leather drums. These soldiers of the New Army have long been reflexed by "997"! When you hear the sound of drums, you don't need your brain to think at all, your body reacts.

The two battalions under Tian Qingyi were originally set up in a "sparse formation", which was a defensive formation, and the formation of the pikemen was relatively sparse, and the archers could "hide" in the formation of the pikemen to shoot arrows.

But now that the charge is to be launched, the loose loose formations can no longer be used.

After a dense drum sounded, the Ming army's change of formation began. First, the archers who were "hidden" in the ranks of pikemen retreated, and then reorganized into three horizontal columns behind the formation, and continued to throw feathered arrows.

Then the sword and shield men guarding the pikemen dispersed to the pikemen and formed a formation with the pikemen, with two rows on one side and a platoon on the other.

As the sword and shield men moved, the pikemen's formation began to "tighten", and the soldiers in the first and second rows laid their spears flat.

After the reorganization of the array was completed, the loose formation of the defense became a dense formation of impact, and the whole process was completed very quickly. At that moment, the second war drum sounded again...... This is the signal to launch an attack!

It was found that the Ming army was about to charge into battle, and the Qing army did not shoot arrows anymore, everyone collected bows and arrows, raised their shields and drew swords, and formed a dense shield array with Niu Lu as a unit.

Unlike the Ming army on the other side, they did not carry spears, in their opinion, spears were mainly used against cavalry, and they were somewhat useful when infantry were hedging, but once they completed the impact and started hand-to-hand combat, they were not as good as swords and shields.

Therefore, the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers are not afraid of the spears of the Ming army...... But they're a little crazy when they meet the pikemen today!

"Emperor Taizu Gao is reincarnated!"

When the spear array of the Ming army rushed to about ten steps in front of the Qing army, the officers leading the team suddenly shouted in unison.

Then there was the response of the soldiers: "Invincible!" ”

After the shout, everyone rushed at full speed with their heads covered!

That's right, it's just to rush with your head covered, advance and retreat, and rush until you break through the array of the Qing army on the opposite side!

Rudok raised a rattan shield in his left hand to protect the vital point, and held a lancet in his right hand, squinting at the moving "gun forest" in front of him. After looking at it for a while, his brow became more and more furrowed.

Because as the other party got closer, he could already see what was going on.

The Ming army's gun array in the charge still maintained a relatively strict formation!

And...... They also have an indomitable momentum!

"Stop!" Rudok quickly buried his head and shouted, and at the same time sank down, raised his shield to protect his head and face, and then held the lancet horizontally in front of him.

He's in the front row now!

The sound of a spear piercing a human body and the muffled sound of a spear piercing a human body and a muffled sound of a spear piercing a human body, and a muffled sound of a spear piercing a rattan shield.

Rudok's luck was not yet exhausted, his body was still intact, except for a numbness in his left arm. It was caused by a spear slammed into the vine shield! His rattan shield was really strong enough, and he actually carried the thrust of a one-foot spear.

However, the impulse added to the spear was not so easy to carry, and the huge force forced Rudok to retreat again and again, until he didn't know who slammed into him behind him (in fact, he hit someone), and he could barely block it.

He blocked it, but the shield array composed of his Niu Lu had already rushed to the opponent's "gun forest", and I don't know how many sturdy Manchurian men were pierced through the body by spears!

Just beside Lu Kedu, there was a short and stocky man, whose abdomen was pierced by a long blade, and the person was not dead, but he screamed, and his hands were still clutching the tip of a spear more than a foot long.

There are still some spears that didn't hit anything, and the Ming soldiers with guns didn't stop, still shouting and rushing - these are all skills that 997 has practiced! It's just one word: rush!

Infantry holding spears to charge into battle is a hammer deal, and if they can't break through the enemy formation, it will be a big trouble. If you get close to hand-to-hand combat, who is the opponent of the pikemen? A spear isn't a melee guy!

So I don't have to say it, I have to go forward and rush desperately!

And under their impact, the two Niu Lu shield formations of the Eight Banners were actually broken through!
