The infantry of an entire field division, under the command of the trumpet, fired a half-salvo at the Jin army, which was counterattacking out of the city.

Nearly 2,200 rounds of lead bullets roared, and Zhou Ning, who was hiding behind the second column of shield carts and saying big words to boost morale, couldn't help but shrink his head.

In fact, it was completely unnecessary, the new reinforced artillery shield vehicle he specially designed showed the right defensive power, and the bullet penetrated the first layer of the artillery shield vehicle, but failed to penetrate the wet soil between the two layers of guards, so naturally it could not threaten the second layer of guards, let alone the golden soldiers hiding behind.

The new artillery shield wagons trembled violently in the rain of bullets, the chassis made a tooth-aching creak under the heavy blow, and the Jin army armor and Bao Yi behind couldn't stand it, and let out a panicked cry together, but all the cannon and shield wagons withstood the test, and none of them were pierced by flintlock guns.

It's just that the ordinary shield car outside the middle cannon shield car is not so comfortable, and 10 grams of granular black powder gives 15 mm lead bullet an energy of up to 2,000 joules, and it has a great chance of penetrating an ordinary single-sided shield car at a distance of about fifty steps.

Zhou Ning cautiously stretched his head out from behind the guard plate of the gun carriage and looked forward, at least five cars on both sides of the first train formation stopped in the fire of the Qi army, plus the vehicles trapped in the moat and unable to get out, the first front had lost more than a third of the shield cars of various types.

"Go and call the little general!" Zhou Ning grabbed a cronie and shouted: "Tell him to come over quickly, time is running out!" ”

Woohoo!

Another round and a half of salvo fire, most of the artillery shield carts were still under pressure, but as the distance approached, more ordinary shield carts were penetrated, and the Aha soldiers pushing the cart screamed miserably.

"Quick! Just go! ”

"Huh!" The cronie still wanted to kneel down to receive the order according to the rules of the Jurchens, but Zhou Ning didn't have the time, so he directly kicked him out of the distance.

"Let's go!"

At this moment, for the first time, this Confucian priest, who claimed to be the son of a saint, felt that it was indeed not good for the etiquette to be too complicated.

Woohoo, Woohoo!

The rate of fire of the Qi army is getting faster and faster, each time it is a half salvo of more than 2,000 guns together, and after the first platoon shoots, it immediately retreats to the back to reload, and hands over the firing position to the comrades in the second platoon.

This tactic is somewhat close to the so-called three-stage fire, except that the three rows of rounds are divided into two rows, with a faster reloading speed and the flintlock pistol does not need to be distracted to focus on the advantages of the arquebus, saving a platoon of manpower and enhancing the firepower of each round.

The well-trained Qi infantry completely ignored the approaching Jin army's shield chariots and calmly poured fire on the Jin army with a relatively fast rate of fire (three rounds per minute).

The sound of muskets on the Qi army's position was almost continuous, and after five and a half rounds of salvo fire, the rising gunpowder smoke completely obscured the Qi army's battle line, but every soldier knew that the enemy was in front, no one hesitated, and no one panicked, they loaded step by step, listened carefully to the penetrating sound of the military horn, and then pulled the trigger.

The Jin army's heavy shield carts were advancing very slowly, which gave the Qi army more time to shoot, and on the two wings of the first Jin army's vehicle formation, those ordinary shield carts had been beaten to an untenable position and stopped one after another.

At first, the Jurchen armor soldiers who supervised the battle would also slash and kill those Aha slaves who stopped, but as the distance approached, the penetration rate of Qi army's bullets became higher and higher, and some of the Tatar armor soldiers who were waving their waist knives and shouting behind the shield cart were killed by the sudden collapse of wood chips or bullets, and they also had to shrink their necks, hold their heads in both hands, and squat behind the shield cart and Aha to avoid the continuous rain of bullets.

The distance between the two armies was close to a distance of about thirty paces, and at this time, the first column of Golden Army shield cars that could still move forward was only those new gun carriages.

And even these artillery carriages lost nearly half of them because of the damage of the chassis.

At this time, Wanyan Xiaodie finally came to Zhou Ning's side.

"What's the matter with you?" Wanyan Zongbi's only son asked in a whisper while holding his helmet with one hand.

"This distance is almost the same, wait a while my artillery carriage will shoot at the Qi army!" Zhou Ning said anxiously: "The musket can't beat the cannon!" But the Qi army is not stupid, they will definitely take the initiative to attack and destroy our artillery carriage with melee combat, so now it's up to you, after we shoot three rounds, you will lead the army to attack, if you can break through, go directly to the south gate to destroy the artillery over there! ”

"What about you?" Wan Yan Xiaodi asked, "What do you do?" ”

"I'm here to help you keep the rest of the Qi army in check! This is the only chance, take it! ”

Rumble!

The Jin army's artillery carriage finally approached the right distance, and those Aha who were close to collapse immediately lit the fire door, and the remaining twenty or so artillery carriages spewed out countless pieces of lead and gravel, and the Qi army behind the breastwork wall that was obscured by the smoke of gunpowder caught off guard and fell down in an instant.

"Let's go!" Zhou Ning shouted to Wan Yan Xiaodie: "Directly cavalry step into battle!" Rush over! ”

The Qi army was not stunned by the blow of the Jin army's artillery car, after all, they still had a chest wall to cover, the Jin army's shotgun kinetic energy was insufficient, and the shotgun fired could not penetrate the chest wall, and it only caused some damage to the Qi soldiers who showed their heads just now.

The Qi soldiers continued to shoot mechanically in front of them, and lead bullets still rained down around the shield cart, killing any Jin soldiers who accidentally exposed their bodies.

The remnants of the first shield wagon array were like small fortresses, withstanding a stormy attack from the opposite side.

Aha Heavy Men desperately reloaded the shotgun and then fired again without waiting for the order.

This made the already inflamed artillery fire of the Jin army even more scarce, but many Jin army musketeers risked being killed to show their heads and shoot at the Qi army with arquebuses of various calibers in their hands.

The smoke of gunpowder blocked the sight of the Qi army, and naturally it would also block the Jin army, so at this time, both sides were actually shooting blindly, and the hit rate was so low that a few Tartar armor soldiers who dared to fight could shoot a few arrows to make fun.

The remnants of the first line of the Jin army dragged down a lot of the firepower of the Qi army, so that more vehicles in the second column of shield car formations approached the firing range.

Then another salvo of shotguns, and a scream came from the defensive line of the Qi army's position.

"Now is it! Let's go! ”

With Zhou Ning's howl, a terrible conch horn sounded behind the Jin army front, and Wanyan Xiaodie, the son of the crown prince and Yan Zongbi, led more than 2,000 Jurchen armor soldiers to cross the shield car line, echoing back and forth and ......swooping towards the Qi army position more than 20 steps away.

And then it was blown up directly into the sky!

The flames and storms from the explosion tore the Jurchen armor soldiers to pieces like thin pieces of paper, and then mixed with the remnants of snow and dirt, and threw them into the air.

"What's this?"

At the critical moment, he was pressed to the ground by the guards and soldiers, and Wan Yan Podie, who escaped with a chance to die, howled with despair on his face, but only the bullets of the Qi army answered him!

Losing the cover of the shield car, the rows of Jurchen armor soldiers were calmly harvested by the Qi soldiers, and their momentum was suddenly lost, and the people who were still alive were completely unable to distinguish the direction in the pungent smoke of gunpowder, so they could only run around, and from time to time someone was knocked down by a musket, or the fire flashed under their feet, and was blown to pieces in a desperate scream.
