After his artillery was ready, Chen Xian immediately gave the order to open the artillery.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was about eight or nine hundred meters, which was exactly within the effective range of Chen Xian's five-catty and seven-catty guns.

More than 100 cannons, at a small angle of elevation, shot a terrifying lead shot at the gun carriage and gun carriage on the opposite side.

These shells landed in a low parabola not far in front of the opposite artillery carriage, and then, like a drift in water, formed an even more terrifying ricochet, swept over the enemy's artillery carriage at a low altitude, and smashed them one by one.

The artillery bombardment soon broke the will of the opposing artillerymen to fight, making them abandon their guns and run around.

In fact, even if these artillery soldiers can muster up the courage to launch a counterattack against Chen Xian's artillery position, it will be useless, because their iron cannons have an effective firing range of less than 700 meters at all, and if they want to counterattack Chen Xian's artillery position, they must use a large elevation angle to shoot, and the damage caused by the shells will change from a line to a point, and the lethality will be greatly reduced.

After destroying the artillery position on the opposite side, Chen Xian's cannon turned the muzzle, but instead of choosing the infantry formation on the opposite side, he aimed at the Han cavalry on the opposite side.

Under the bombardment of artillery shells, the Han cavalry soon rioted.

The commander on the opposite side reacted quickly, and soon after the first round of shells fell into the cavalry formation, the cavalry launched a charge towards the artillery position on Chen Xian's side.

What surprised Chen Xian was that these cavalry did not break up under the bombardment of artillery, and their will to fight was quite strong, and they rushed to the front of the artillery array with cannonballs.

Compared with the Jin army's lack of attention to the servant army, the Mongols attached more importance to the servant army, and they would give the servant army who took refuge with quite generous treatment.

The treatment of the Han princes under the command of the Mongols was much better than the treatment of the Jin people who did not know how to defect to the Han army, and those Han princes were almost equivalent to independent kingdoms one by one.

These Han cavalry in front of him are all strong relatives of the Han people who have defected to the Mongols, and after the training of the Mongols' harsh military discipline, their will to fight is unexpectedly strong.

These cavalrymen rushed to the front of the artillery emplacement in a loose formation, and were first hit by a round of shotguns with heavy casualties, and then were blocked by the rejection of their horses, and had to stop, and some of the cavalry dismounted and moved away from the rejection of their horses.

Chen Xian's artillery array did not panic because of the enemy cavalry attack, after the enemy rushed to a distance of 100 meters and fired a shotgun, they stopped the shelling, each received weapons in the carriage, and formed a small horse rejection formation in the gap between the cannon and the carriage, waiting for the enemy to come up.

Behind the artillery emplacement, the four rows of horse infantry also mounted forward, and they rode on horseback, firing beyond the artillery and artillery, just in front of the enemy cavalry blocked by the rejection of their horses.

The first platoon of horse infantry came behind the cannon, and after firing a volley at the command of the officer, they turned their horses and returned to the back of the line to reload, and the second row of horse infantry stepped forward again......

The cavalry of the Han army on the opposite side rushed to the front of the artillery emplacement under artillery fire, first suffered heavy casualties from a round of shotguns, the people turned on their horses, and then they were blocked by the assembled rejecting horses, some cavalry under the order of the commander, dismounted and stepped forward, moved away from the rejecting horses, but were ridden by the horse infantry behind the artillery emplacement.

These Han cavalry braved the artillery fire to rush here, and it was already at the limit, and at this time, they were subjected to a dense platoon of guns thirty or forty meters away......

They couldn't bear it anymore and finally collapsed......

Having routed the hastily charging cavalry, the artillery turned its guns again, and this time they aimed at the large array of infantry opposite.

After the cannon roared here, the infantry formation on the opposite side significantly accelerated the speed of advancement, and after two rounds of delays, the large array on the opposite side had already reached a distance of three or four hundred meters away from Chen Xian.

And this distance is also the most powerful distance for five catties and seven catties to run.

Fist-sized lead bullets, carrying unimaginable kinetic energy of people of this era, ploughed out blood grooves in the dense step formation, splashing flesh and fear on both sides of the blood tank!

After three or four rounds of shelling, the large array on the opposite side began to shake and began to be chaotic.

It stands to reason that at this time, it is a good time to launch a counterattack, whether it is a sudden cavalry attack or a surprise attack by the pikemen in the infantry formation, it is a good choice, but Chen Xian was indifferent, just let the cannon bombard the opposite infantry formation at a relatively slow pace.

The psychological pressure suffered by the infantry, who had never faced artillery bombardment, was under in words when they faced the first close bombardment from artillery, and the infantry formation of the Mongol and Han armies was becoming more and more chaotic......

At this time, the Mongol cavalry, which had been watching the battle from the rear, finally moved.

As soon as the Mongol cavalry moved, Chen Xian immediately focused most of his energy on this cavalry.

This cavalry circled around the battlefield and came to the right rear of Chen Xian's array, just avoiding the firing range of Chen Xian's cannon.

At this time, the Mongol Han army could no longer withstand the pressure of artillery bombardment and began to retreat, but Chen Xian did not dare to wave his army to pursue and expand the results of the battle.

The Mongolian cavalry was behind the right side of Chen Xian's infantry formation, and launched two cavalry pulls towards the flank of the large formation.

Chen Xian placed two battalions on the right side of the infantry formation, facing to the left, to guard the flanks of the large formation.

The two cavalry of the Mongolian cavalry were blocked by the salvo of the musketeers who accounted for half of the number in Chen Xian's phalanx, and the losses were quite small, after all, Chen Xian's infantry were wearing relatively light plate armor and had good defensive capabilities in the face of bows and arrows, while the Mongolian archers were only protected by leather armor, and in front of musket bullets, they were as if they were naked.

Although the Mongolian cavalry had no way to take Chen Xian's infantry formation, Chen Xian did not dare to send Infantry A out to chase the Mongolian Han army's infantry formation, which was fleeing, and could only watch the other party break out of the artillery range, and after retreating to a distance, he was collected by the generals in the team.

As for using cavalry to pursue the Mongolian Han army foot soldiers, Chen Xian was even more unwilling, for Chen Xian, it didn't matter how much the Mongolian Han army killed, if in the process of pursuit, he was picked up by the Mongolian cavalry, then he would be distressed.

Seeing that the Mongol Han army retreated to the camp, the Mongol cavalry also began to retreat.

Chen Xian was finally unwilling to let the Mongols retreat unharmed, taking advantage of the retreat of the Mongol cavalry, he gave an order, and his commando cavalry, light cavalry, all-round cavalry led by Yang Miaozhen, and even horse infantry all went out to kill the Mongol cavalry.

The Turks led the way, the light cavalry followed, and the horse infantry followed the cavalry in columns.

Finding that Chen Xian's side began to pursue, the Mongolian cavalry quickly responded, and they did not retreat in a swarm, but let the first cavalry go first, and the light cavalry broke off.

After Chen Xian's assault cavalry rushed within range of the Mongolian light cavalry, these Mongolian light cavalry suddenly dispersed like flies on a garbage heap that had been driven away.

But if you look closely, you will find that these Mongolian light cavalry are not really chaotic, they are chaotic and do not disperse, and every group of light cavalry that is chaotic is actually a team of 100 people gathered together to run.
