Peng Yibin frowned and glanced at the strange military formation in front of the gate of the stockade, and said: "If there are 500 people in this formation, I may not dare to rush, just these more than 100 people, what traps can there be?" Even if there are any traps, we have scattered more than 100 people, can he still conjure up people? ”

Saying this, Peng Yibin pointed to the Zhuangzi defense tower in the distance.

At the top of the tower, a man wearing a suit of armor and carrying a "musket" was lying on the parapet at the top of the tower, holding something to his eyes, as if he was looking this way.

Peng Yibin pointed to the tower and said: "I heard the Bai family say, that is Chen Xian, this person didn't even dare to go to the battle, only let his subordinates come forward to die, but he hid in the village to steal his life, despicable to this, how can there be any conspiracy, I think it's just scared and confused." ”

Yang Miaozhen raised his eyes and saw that the iron helmet on the top of the person's head was very distinctive, which could cover most of his face, and it was the helmet worn by Chen Xian depicted by the Yang family's spies.

This scene suddenly overturned Yang Miaozhen's image of the strong enemy of "Chen Xian" in her heart these days, and her confidence in this "strong enemy" was suddenly discounted.

Yang Miaozhen hesitated slightly, then nodded, and the two turned around and returned to their respective riding formations.

When Peng Yibin passed by his infantry array, he instructed his deputy, "Wait a minute, the Yang family cavalry and I will disperse the group of things at the gate that don't know whether they are alive or dead, and then you will follow, and take Zhuangzi in one go." ”

The two fifty-man cavalry adjusted their positions slightly, came to their best offensive positions, greeted each other, and began to move slowly.

Because the military formation on the opposite side is too narrow, even if four small formations on both sides are added, the frontal width is only twenty meters, so that the cavalry on this side cannot be deployed.

Yang Miaozhen and Peng Yibin could only line up their cavalry team of fifty people in a column of five people.

The two cavalry armies were divided into left and right directions, apparently intending to storm the left and right flanks of the place.

The Jurchens started with heavy cavalry, even after these years of decline, the proportion of cavalry in the Jin army has dropped significantly, but the absolute main force is still ironclad heavy cavalry, and cavalry combat is still dominated by abducted horses to impact the flanks, and does not rely on cavalry shooting like the later Yuan Ming.

Naturally, this trend also affected these landlord armies and bandit armies under the rule of the Jin State.

The 100 cavalry under the command of Yang Miaozhen and Peng Yibin were all ironclad heavy cavalry, and there were even more than ten armored cavalry with more than 10 horsemen and horses each.

The two took more than a dozen cavalry under their command as the leader and launched a cavalry charge.

Yang Miaozhen and Peng Yibin were both in the first row of the charge.

The first platoon of cavalry slowly galloped out and rushed forward at trotting speed.

After the first row has run about ten steps (one step is two spans, about one meter six), the second row runs out at the same speed......

By the time the tenth platoon of cavalry was activated, the first platoon had already run a hundred paces away.

After entering the distance of a hundred paces of the enemy, the first platoon of cavalry began to accelerate......

Eighty steps...... Sixty steps...... Fifty steps...... Cavalry speed has been increased to the maximum ...... Forty steps......

At this distance, the thought arose in the hearts of all the cavalrymen, "Why didn't they run?" ”

This group of infantry did not have a fence in front of them, did not reject horses, and did not even have a big shield, such infantry, when facing the iron cavalry charge, should have fled a long time ago, why didn't these people run? Are they wooden people?

Just as this thought arose in their minds, someone on the other side suddenly moved, the man standing on the side of the musket phalanx on the left side of the front row, he raised the beautiful scimitar in his hand, swung it down sharply, and shouted: "Fire!" ”

"Boom!" The deafening, dense roar of muskets like pouring beans instantly drowned out all sounds on the battlefield.

Chen Xian placed nearly 100 musketeers at the entrance of the bar, of which there were more than 40 regular adult soldiers listed outside the bar, and more than 50 young soldiers who hid behind the bar, using the mound of soil under the barn as a chest wall to shoot guns.

If Chen Xian had directly restored the Spanish Mushkot heavy arquebus weighing ten kilograms, these young soldiers would definitely not have been able to use it, but after he redesigned it and reduced its weight and power, these children could barely use it with the help of the breastwork.

More than ninety musketeers, more than thirty rounds were fired in the first round of shooting.

According to Chen Xian's requirements, the first shot must wait for the cavalry to rush to a distance of 70 meters before shooting, in order to accurately grasp the distance, as the commander of the musket team, in addition to using the thumb distance method, he also inserted some special artemisia grass as a distance mark in front of the village.

At a distance of 70 meters, for the group of soldiers under Chen Xian who have undergone two or three months of shooting training, they can already hit seven or eight out of ten shots at a humanoid target.

Therefore, after the first round of firing, all ten men in the first row of charging with iron horses and horses fell down, and none of them survived.

In order to allow the two cavalry pairs to spread, Yang Miaozhen and Peng Yibin took the flank, in fact, the two chose the attack point of the left and right corners of the two phalanxes, in fact, the two corners are indeed the weak points of the phalanx.

Because of the two corners, the cavalry rushed diagonally from both sides.

On Chen Xian's side, the musketeers lined up on both sides of the phalanx, so from the perspective of the musketeers, the side of the opposing cavalry charge formation could be seen.

Therefore, after the first round of shooting, not only the first row was undoubtedly spared, but the second row also fell a lot, and even the third row had unlucky eggs injured.

To make matters worse, the horse was shocked!

The horses, which had never heard of gunfire before, were almost all startled by the huge explosion of muskets.

After the first round of gunfire, among the charging cavalry, those who reacted slowly still habitually rushed forward, and those who reacted quickly tried to rein in their horses, but found that the horses were already frightened!

The second round of gunfire ......

Some people could not control their horses, and they screamed and continued to rush forward, and some people strangled their horses with their lives, but at this time they stopped on the battlefield and died faster; There were also those who were skilled in riding and who were lucky enough to turn their horse's head and rush to the side, and there were those who were unlucky and collided with other frightened horses......

There was chaos on the battlefield, and then ...... The third round of gunfire ......

After several rounds of gunfire, smoke from the gunpowder enveloped a large area of the doorway.

There were no horses rushing towards the phalanx anymore, although he couldn't see through the fog of war in front of him, Zhang Bai still ordered to stop shooting, because too much, too frequent shooting will make the barrel hot, and easy to misfire, since no one has rushed over, then quickly take the opportunity to stop and rest, and use the wet wipes prepared in advance to cool down the barrel.

Not long after Uncle Zhang ordered to stop shooting, Li Shi's military order came from the side: "All of them, go together!" ”

Li Shi is the captain of the large phalanx in this phalanx, and also the supreme commander of the entire phalanx, including the musketeers, according to Chen Xian, this phalanx is a company, and Li Shi is the company commander of this company, and Zhang Bai, as the captain of the musketeers, is the deputy company commander.

Li Shi gave the order "all have", that is, to give orders to the entire phalanx, including the musketeers.

The entire phalanx immediately walked forward without hesitation.
