Although he was determined to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army on the spot, Marshal Petrotsov's heart was still extremely uneasy when he saw that each of the Ming soldiers had a musket.

To say that the musket team has only appeared in recent decades, but the musket team has shown strong combat effectiveness from the beginning of its appearance, so that now the musket team has become the standard configuration of the army of European powers, and even counts the number of musket teams of a country to comment on the national strength of a country, although Tsarist Russia has a vast area, it is only 50,000 musket teams, but the army of the Eastern Empire he sees now is actually everyone holding muskets, and there are such powerful cannons to help.

In the face of the attack of 20,000 Ming infantry and the 8,000 Ming cavalry on the periphery, as well as the threat of Ming artillery, Marshal Petrotsov adopted the method of musketeers in front, ordinary infantry in the center, and 4,000 cavalry in the rear to meet the battle.

Three hundred meters, two hundred and fifty meters

With the approach of the Ming infantry battle array, in order to avoid hurting their own people, the Ming artillery has gradually begun to extend to the rear of the Tsarist Russian army.

The Ming army had four huge infantry formations, each of which was divided into two small formations of dozens of hundreds of people, connected to a long half-moon-shaped encirclement to attack the Tsarist Russian army.

The Russian army was also in a-for-tat confrontation, and the 6,000-strong musket team also lined up in three rows to form a long three-stage formation, which was a typical musketeer formation.

Under normal circumstances, on flat ground, the musketeers face the attack of the musketeers, and whoever has a longer range and greater power of the muskets on both sides will take advantage of them. At this point, the rifles of the Ming soldiers reached a range of nearly three hundred meters, and the Ming army undoubtedly had an absolute advantage.

It's a pity that Marshal Petrotsov of Tsarist Russia didn't know this, if he knew the range of the Ming rifles, he would definitely not have let the Russian musket team face the Ming infantry so head-on.

The distance of two hundred and fifty meters has actually entered the range of the Ming army's rifles, but Chang Shunhou did not rush to order the shooting, the infantry continued to advance, and finally, the distance approached two hundred meters, Chang Shunhou smiled and waved his palm.

"Fire!" Orders were quickly issued in the various military formations.

"Bang Bang Bang" Chang Shun's Chinese military formation was the first to shoot, and then the other three military formations were also at the forefront of the Ming soldiers who also pulled the trigger and opened fire.

The dense bullets swept through, and the Russian musket team facing it suddenly fell a large number of soldiers.

The corners of Marshal Petrotsov's eyes twitched, and he exclaimed in disbelief: "Impossible, how can their muskets have such a long range!" ”

How could Marshal Petrotsov believe that the distance between the two sides was at least two hundred meters, and at such a distance, the Ming army actually opened fire, you know, at this moment, the range of the most advanced flintlock pistol in Europe is only one hundred and thirty meters, doesn't this mean that the muskets of the Eastern Imperial Army are much more advanced than the most advanced muskets in Europe.

Just now he ordered the soldiers to retreat to the southwest, although the Ming cavalry intercepted one or two rounds of guns, but most of them were at a distance of about 100 meters, at that time Marshal Petrotsov had been paying attention to dodging the attack of the Ming artillery shells, and did not pay too much attention, and now his attention was undoubtedly on the Ming infantry, so as soon as the Ming infantry fired, he noticed.

"Bang bang bang" barely had two breaths apart, and the Ming infantry fired a second round of shots.

"Bang bang bang" was less than two breaths in time, and the Ming infantry fired for the third time.

The Ming army was only divided into two columns, but it fired three rounds in a row so quickly.

Round 4! Round 5!

Because it was divided into two columns, the speed of each round of shooting of the Ming army was much faster than the speed of loading, and they fired one after another.

"Nope! God, how is this possible! "Marshal Petrotsov almost collapsed.

He had already seen that the loading speed of the Ming soldiers was no more than four breaths at most, and the range was so long, and the loading speed was still so fast, it was simply a nightmare, and Marshal Petrotsov's confidence suffered an unprecedented blow.

Not only Marshal Petrotsov, but also the Russian soldiers who were fighting at the forefront were scared enough.

Facing the guns of the Ming army, they were facing the Ming soldiers who killed and injured them at a distance of more than 200 meters, and the Russian soldiers were frightened and their faces were extremely pale.

Because Petrotsov targeted the musketeers to line up in three columns and three-stage formations to meet the Ming army, just now after several rounds of intensive fire from the Ming army, the Russian musket team was almost wiped out.

After the destruction of the musket team, it was 50,000 Russian infantry who faced the attack of the Ming infantry.

Although the 50,000 Tsarist Russian infantry did not continue to be bombarded by the artillery of the Ming army, the approach of the Ming infantry was even more terrifying to them than the bombardment just now.

The fierce artillery bombardment of the Ming army just now killed and wounded more than 3,000 people, and in addition to nearly 6,000 musketeers in front of their eyes, they were all wiped out under the guns of the Ming army in less than a minute, and the fear almost instantly crushed the morale of the Russian soldiers.

As the Ming infantry approached, nearly 50,000 Russian infantry continued to retreat.

"Don't quit! No refund! Marshal Petrotsov roared angrily, not allowing the soldiers to retreat.

Thanks to Petrotsov's orders, the Russian soldiers, accustomed to following the marshal's orders, really stopped retreating, but the fear and paleness on their faces did not diminish at all.

Finally, the Russian infantry at the front also entered the range of the Ming infantry.

"Fire!"

"Bang bang bang" Ming soldiers fired intensively.

"Poof! Burst! Poof"

"Ahhhhh

Unstoppable! The smell of blood permeated the entire battlefield.

The fact that they could not fight the Ming army face to face, but almost stood and waited for the slaughter of the Ming army, intensified the fear in the hearts of the Tsarist soldiers, and the Tsarist soldiers once again began to retreat without obeying orders, scrambling to flee the range of the Ming army like a rout.

The 20,000 Ming infantry pressed the nearly 60,000 Tsarist Russian army to attack, and in a short period of time, the Tsarist Russian army was defeated and retreated.

Although the Ming Dynasty was able to equip all the regular army with war horses because of the capture of the entire Mongolian steppe, so that the current regular army of the Ming army was more like a cavalry, it was undeniable that the essence of the Ming army was still an infantry, and the infantry battle array really gave full play to the strongest combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

"Cavalry attack!" The defeat of the infantry, Petertsov was so angry that he ordered 4,000 cavalry to attack the Ming infantry formation from both sides.
