Finally, a Tartar soldier stumbled through the white smoke and touched the bank north of the Qing River.

The unlucky soldier had been on the shore for less than ten seconds before he was stabbed by several spears sticking out from behind the fence at the same time.

Soldier A let out an inhuman howl, the tip of the spear was withdrawn, and he threw himself back into the river with another thud.

More Tartar soldiers poured ashore, but at this time they were extremely sparsely formed and could not form a battle formation, and a few of the bravest warriors were still brandishing their weapons to fight the enemy, but most of them were just following behind the former in ignorance, at least half of the armor soldiers had already abandoned their weapons in the river, and some were even tortured by the roar of gunfire and smoke at close range.

On the north shore, the Sharps and Savvy Musketeers stabbed the enemy soldiers ashore with spears and bayonets, respectively, and the blades flashed above the wooden fence, as deadly as the letter of a viper.

The first group of armoured soldiers could not even gain a foothold, but were all stabbed back with spears and bayonets, and the banks of the river were soon covered with the corpses of Tartars, and blood poured out of the wounds and into the river, staining the north bank of the Qing River red.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the army field artillery team transferred six 4-pound general guns to fire a double salvo of shotguns at the Tartars who could not be dodged in the river at a distance from face to face.

More than 1,000 pieces of 5 coins of lead swept across the river amid the desperate screams of the Tartars, and hundreds of corpses were suddenly added to the small Qinghe, and then the Divine Soldiers made up a volley at the enemy, completely crushing the Tartars' attack in one fell swoop.

The remnants of the Tartars in the river could no longer bear it, and despite the resistance of several officers, they began to turn and flee, but they were still in the water, and the speed was still not much different from that of slow motion.

"Fight back!"

Xu Shiyang saw the opportunity and gave an order, and the copper trumpet on the Qi army's front turned into a rapid and piercing ticking sound - this is also the charge horn that Xu Shiyang plagiarized from the PLA in his previous life, and for the Qi army, it naturally means the beginning of a full-scale counteroffensive.

……

After the end of the Yellow River/Canal Defensive Battle, the headquarters of the Qingzhou Army and troops at all levels summed up the battle situation and agreed that the Jurchens were not as powerful as they boasted, and that with fire support, even the militia who only participated in military training during the off-season could hold out against the Tatars for a period of time in white-knuckle warfare.

If it is a fully trained new army unit, it is even capable of defeating the Jurchen armored soldiers in close combat when the difference in strength is not large.

Therefore, the officers of the Forces nouvelles agreed that the Forces nouvelles did not need to take a purely defensive route against the Tartars, that is, the positions should be set up with entrances and exits suitable for counterattacks.

As long as a few artillery pieces are deployed near the entrances and exits, the Tartars will still not be able to break through the Nova defenses, but these entrances and exits will provide effective help for the Nova to counterattack and expand the results of the battle.

The fortifications on the north bank of the Qing River were a product of this guiding ideology: the Qi army used sharpened wooden spears to be inserted into the earth to form a simple fence, reinforced by ropes and sticks between the wooden guns.

However, in the area suitable for wading, every ten meters or so, there is a section of wooden gun simply buried in the soil, and when the new army soldiers counterattack, this section of the fence can be easily removed, forming a small gate for five people to enter and exit side by side.

The Qi soldiers opened these gaps in the reserved fences, and the two companies of the drafters shouted in unison, raised their shields to cover the abdomen and chest, and stepped on the corpses of the Tartars on the shore to wade into the water to counterattack.

Behind the Feng Soldiers, the Rui soldiers and the Divine Soldiers did not hesitate to leave the immediate position and followed into the river.

The river had a similar obstruction effect on the new army as the Tartars, but the Jin army on the south bank of the Qing River did not have sufficient firepower to effectively kill and injure the Qi soldiers who waded through the water to counterattack.

Wanyan Lou Murmur, who had re-erected the Shuai Banner, roared and gathered several hundred armor soldiers, guarding the south bank of the ferry and shooting at the approaching Qi soldiers with heavy arrows, while at the same time, the other troops on both flanks that had not been hit by artillery fire also re-stabilized and began to concentrate on Shuai Qi.

Wanyan Lou was still able to gather a few thousand armor soldiers, and he thought he still had a chance to win.

It's just that she just escaped from the river, and the wet and beautiful girl doesn't think so: "Father, you can't fight anymore!" The Han dog gun is too strong! ”

As if to make a note to his conclusion, a platoon of divine soldiers on the north bank of the river fired a volley of flintlock muskets at the assembled Tartar archers on the south bank, 10 grams of black powder gave the lead bullet a strong kinetic energy, and it instantly leaped less than 50 paces away, and no well-made armor could resist this cheap lead, and the Jurchen archers standing by the river to block the attack fell down in a row.

However, the heavy arrows of the Jurchens could hardly pose a threat to the fully protected front soldiers, and the shields of these Qi melee soldiers were the same as the equipment of the Jurchens, and the armor on their bodies was indeed a double iron armor with a layer of chain mail worn inside and a layer of cuirass on the outside.

Wan Yan Lou Room glanced at the battlefield helplessly, he had to admit that what his son said was very reasonable, shooting across the river, the archers were not the opponents of the musketeers at all.

It's not the same level at all, okay!

"The whole army took thirty steps back, let the Han dogs go ashore, and use knives against them!"

Hoo hoo, there was another round of gunfire on the other side, and a pro-guard soldier beside Wan Yan Lou Room was shot in the neck, his head flew into the air, and the blood from the wound gushed out like a fountain, dyeing half of the glittering armor of Wan Yan Lou Room red.

"Fifty steps back."

The commander of the Jin army changed his order without changing his face.

……

The Jurchens actually retreated eighty paces before the blazing fire on the other side of the river became a little more bearable.

According to the statistics of the new army itself, in the face of such a huge target as the enemy array, the accuracy of the flintlock pistol at a distance of 50 paces (calculated according to one step equal to 1.5 meters) can reach 60 percent, 100 steps will be reduced to 40 percent, and the accuracy of the flintlock pistol will be reduced to 2 and a half percent when the distance is extended to 150 steps.

In fact, this achievement was obtained on the training ground, and under the influence of a variety of negative effects such as entering the actual combat environment, noisy battlefield situation, enemy attacks, and soldiers' nervous emotions, the battlefield hit rate within 100 steps was nearly half lower than the training ground data, and beyond 100 steps, the character required to achieve a hit was more important than shooting skills.

If the target is more than one hundred and fifty paces away, firing again is a pure waste of ammunition.

The Jin army retreated 80 steps, plus the original 50 steps on the north and south banks of the Qing River, more than 130 steps, but it was just enough to minimize the threat of the musketeers.

After firing two more volleys in vain, the soldiers on the other side of the river found that there was no point in continuing to shoot like this, so they stopped firing, held their bayonets, followed behind their comrades who had waded in front, and killed them together on the south bank of the Qing River.

The good thing is that after the Jin army retreated eighty steps, it had actually given up the geographical advantage of the riverbank area, and Wanyan Lou had to give up the tempting idea of pressing the Qi army in the river to fight, and could only let the Qi army's melee selection of frontmen gain a foothold on the south bank, with their backs to the riverbank and set up a formation.
