They were also spotted by the cavalry of the Qing army, who were galloping on the streets of Suzhou. Experienced in warfare, they knew as soon as they looked at the formation of the enemy army, and they knew that the enemy was planning to use the firearms. They have experience in dealing with this, as long as they charge closer, the fire guns in the hands of these firecrackers are not as good as a burning stick.

"Ahh......h They shouted in unison, their bodies bowed on their horses.

The wind sounded in my ears, and the sound of "whirring" sounded as sharp as a whistle in my ears.

"Aren't those Ming troops on the other side afraid of death? They are only five rows, at most two or three hundred people, so that the thin firecracker team wants to stop us? Don't they understand? We just need a charge ......"

The group of people in front of them, with the gallop of the war horses, with the sparks of the iron hooves flashing on the gravel on the street, got closer and closer, they got closer and closer, and they just needed to ...... The cavalrymen shot their crossbow arrows, of course they knew that such crossbow arrows were basically not very lethal against such armor.

At a distance of more than 200 meters, the Qing army riders shot the crossbow arrows on their hands, otherwise they would not have enough time to hang up the "spear-type crossbow" and take off the long knife. More Qing cavalry did not like this way of fighting, and even they did not like the "spear crossbow" in their hands, so many people did not reload the crossbow box after shooting it empty.

Shooting a wave of crossbow arrows, they lowered their bodies even more behind their horses' necks, and from now on it was time to meet the blows of their opponents.

One hundred and fifty meters, the Qing army's iron cavalry had already entered the maximum range of the "continuous firing firearms".

The commander of the "Shengwu Army" stabilized the formation a little, and the wounded soldiers of the "Shengwu Army" endured the slight injuries caused by the rain of crossbow arrows, and tried to level the muskets. The eyes looked through the crosshairs in the iron ring for aiming, aiming at the Qing cavalry that was getting closer and closer.

"Ready to put them all away!"

"Peng...... ......A series of muskets rang out, and the smoke from the firing of the muskets formed a "wall" in the street.

The shooting in the five-row formation is like this, the first and second rows are staggered and squatted on the ground, the third row stands up when shooting, squats down after shooting, and the last two rows stagger and stands. Each platoon will use its own musket repeater, and when the second round is fired, every two platoons will fire their muskets and their own revolver at the same time, as the enemy cavalry is already close.

Such a cycle would ensure the continuity of firing, and at the first high morale of the enemy, it would be possible to fire five rows of bullets in a row without having to reload them, and if you count them in five horizontal formations of sixty men, you would have fired as many as 3,900 bullets.

The Qing soldiers in the charge only saw the opposite formation, constantly flashing with the flash of fire when they were launched, and the smoke from the large group of firing almost obscured their formation.

"Buzz...... Buzz ......" was the sound of bullets flying, and they couldn't help but squint their eyes, still convinced in their hearts that as long as they rushed closer, how could the soldiers with firearms be the opponents of the cavalry. The head was lowered on the neck of the sweaty horse.

The arrow-shaped bullets of the fire bolt also tore through the air and hissed. This is the bullet of the repeating fire gun used by the Shenzhou Army itself. The difference with foreign trade bullets is that the shotgun used by the Shenzhou Army is not lead pellets, but four arrow-shaped bullets of pig iron, and its lethality is naturally not comparable to ordinary bullets.

The cavalrymen galloping in the first row were as if a barricade had been erected in front of them, and they immediately fell to the ground. With the enemy's dense bullets followed by the second and third rows, there were almost no escapes in such a charge. Falling, they and their horses immediately became an obstacle for the subsequent cavalry.

The honor of the cavalry made them not afraid of death, and they continued to make cheering noises from their mouths, shaking their sabers over their heads, with only one thought in their hearts, "Fly near and use your saber!" ”

However, after three rows of smoke, the opponent's shooting did not stop, but fired six shots in a row at a faster speed than just now. This was followed by a volley of firebolts...... Another burst of six guns......

The continuous, dense bullets were almost unbearable for the cavalry, not to mention that there were thousands of Ming soldiers behind the soldiers of the "Shengwu Army" who were shooting, and the bows and arrows and "chain oil" bullets were like rain, and an insurmountable wall of death was built in front of the Qing cavalry almost instantly.

Although this is the main thoroughfare of the city of Suzhou, it is obvious that the cavalry charge has been narrow in the past, and it is impossible to fight the enemy and engage it completely frontally, except for the courage to meet the constant bullets.

Soon, a large number of corpses of men and horses killed by bullets almost blocked the streets, and the cavalry was greatly hindered with every step forward, and the speed became slower and slower.

At this time, they received a second round of heavy bullets from the other side, and the slightly dull sound of the fire was immediately followed by the crisp and crisp sound of the revolver. The overly dense fire completely interrupted the charge of the Qing troops. And a thousand-man squad that charged at the same time in such a dense fire, there were very few survivors.

The soldiers of the "Shengwu Army" who had completed the interception task sadly found that the idea of going to the forbidden city to protect Zhu Yihai of the Lu Jian State was no longer realized, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing had already sounded in the forbidden palace.

And it's just that good luck is not in line with the "Shengwu Army", after all, only in Suzhou City, they are already gone. The Qing army entered the city cavalry, and the other 5,000 cavalry successfully killed the Ming soldiers who had dispersed at the city gate and captured the city gate.

"Bang", followed by the sound of the iron cable of the suspension bridge at the head of the city, with the sound, the Qing army chariot that had been waiting by the suspension bridge entered the city of Suzhou. The overall situation of the battle of Suzhou has been decided, and under the heavy attack of chariots and cavalry, it is difficult for any resistance force in Suzhou to last, and it is impossible to resist.

Even the elite of the "Shengwu Army" that protected Zhang Mingzhen, although their equipment was much stronger than that of ordinary Ming or Qing troops, they were still unable to deal with chariots. After a short period of confrontation, most of the Ming army under the leadership of Zhang Mingzhen was killed and a small part was scattered, and these personal soldiers had to protect him and retreat.

However, when the Qing army had already entered the city in large numbers, how could it be easy to retreat. A few chariots were on the not too wide street, blocking this group of troops armed with muskets back and forth, and there must be big men among the strong guards here.

Most of the soldiers of the "Shengwu Army" died heroically, and soon there were less than 50 people left around Zhang Mingzhen, who were blocked in a small courtyard and surrounded by more than ten chariots. But the Qing soldiers did not attack, obviously knowing the power of the muskets, they were probably waiting for more men to arrive.
