"Get the horses to the ground and let them lie on their stomachs," Zhang Qiang squeezed the bullet and pressed the lead bullet tightly with a strip, shouting to the guards cavalry gathered around him.

Some of the wounded horses neighed and struggled to get up from the ground, which not only disturbed the defensive circle of the personal cavalry, but also greatly reduced the accuracy of their shots.

First the javelin throwing, the bow and arrow sneak attack, then the brave attack of the savage natives who were ambushed in the grass on both sides of the road, and then the arquebus salvo on the hillside on both sides, a round of blows, Zhang Qiang's chasseur guards lost more than 50 people, of which more than 30 were seriously injured, and more than a dozen people died at the moment.

There were also some people who were frightened by the horses and ran around with the knights, some ran back, and some ran in the direction of the arquebus factory's barracks, and most of the knights were either overturned on the ground by the horses on the way, dragging the flesh and blood blurred, or were killed and injured by bows and arrows and arquebuses, and these knights caused Zhang Qiang's team to lose more than 20 people.

The other knights, because they were in the central circle of the guard, protected Zhang Qiang, reacted at the first time, and immediately charged on horseback, and the charge of more than thirty knights wiped out those barbarian natives in ten minutes, and at the same time scattered those archers, and also caused injuries to some arquebusiers, disrupting their shooting rhythm and team, and even causing the death of seven or eight people.

But the contribution of the thirty knights was like this, they were all accurately hit by bullets fired from the distance that they didn't know where they were, either the war horse fell to the ground and was crushed underneath, seriously injured and screamed, or like the previous knights, they were dragged by the war horse and fled in all directions.

There were almost 90 people who stayed by Zhang Qiang's side, were organized, hid under the cover of the body of the war horse, and used the arquebus on their bodies to carry out organized counterattacks.

Divided into front, center, back, and one on the left slope, there are a total of seven organized resistance positions.

Just when Zhang Qiang thought that with the resistance of these people, he could be reinforced by the nearby guards, the ruthless reality shattered his thoughts.

The guns on both sides became louder and louder, and under the organization of some men on the other side, the arquebusiers of the opposing side in a squad of twenty or thirty cleanly wiped out the personal cavalry on the three outer cavalry positions of his resistance.

Although it also caused some damage to the other party, Zhang Qiang estimated that the damage was not very large, because the opponent's gunfire became more and more dense, and under the bright moonlight, it could be seen that the enemy's gunmen were gathering.

The first firing of the other party, Zhang Qiang estimated that it was about twenty or thirty arquebuses, and the second firing was the firing of fifty arquebuses.

If these foreign devils are still in the early stage of the platoon gun shooting tactics, it is estimated that they only use a two-stage shooting method of one column to two columns in rotation, and then there are pikemen, long soldiers, and even heavy infantry in heavy armor to cover the front and rear.

Twenty or thirty arquebuses, five or six at first, in turns, after three or four shots, pause for a while, about thirty seconds.

Even if the three-stage shooting method can make the loading cumbersome, and the arquebus with a long loading time can achieve continuous strikes through this method, output firepower, and inflict a lot of damage on the enemy, but even so, once the three rounds, or the number of people in the row are exhausted, the arquebus shooting gap is still very long, the longest is one minute, the shortest, about ten seconds.

Maybe it's the night, maybe it's their panic, maybe they're not elite arquebusiers, this can be said to be skilled arquebusiers, compared to the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, these Orientals who don't like to use these firearms by nature, they are already elite, but even so, they are only qualified or average in the regular army of those arquebusiers in the West, and some are even mediocre.

This leads to them firing continuously, three rounds, or four rounds, and when the number of them is exhausted, the first shooter has not yet reloaded, or has been reloaded in a hurry, and many of them have made mistakes.

So when they start shooting again, they still have that time.

This gave Zhang Qiang time to calculate their regularity and his team to breathe, and Zhang Qiang quickly adjusted his tactics to deal with it.

Quickly assembled the troops, stabilized their thoughts, these cavalry quickly organized, and gathered together, four groups of the remaining people, quickly formed a figure of eight defensive formation, about ninety cavalry with their horses hung long arquebus, short firearms, the other side of the assembly area of the fire volley, the two sides launched the Ming Dynasty, the first battle of the eastern country of firearms.

Or in such a situation of being ambushed by the other side.

However, when the other party also adjusted its tactics, the number of muskets on the other side, and when it was time to occupy the ambush, the location of the ambush, the number of people and muskets were more than Zhang Qiang's, and the situation on Zhang Qiang's side became passive again.

Suppressed again, vaguely, Zhang Qiang saw a large group of people rushing down from the grass on both sides and the hillside in front, these people were wielding slender long knives, holding spears, holding shields, and most importantly, they still held shields in their hands, and their bodies were armed to the teeth like European heavy infantry, and their entire heads were wrapped in heavy helmets.

"Arquebus salvo, one round."

Zhang Qiang shouted quickly.

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

Constant crowds of gunshots rang out like fried beans.

Zhang Qiang's arquebus salvo was different from the Europeans' dozens of people standing in a row and firing a group of people, he used the strategy of three or five people in a group and one person on fire.

It's a tactical approach that is usually trained.

Of course, during the Armageddon, he would still use the European line infantry salvo method, but when the squad faced the enemy, or faced the enemy with a small number of people, it was a bit wasteful, so Zhang Qiang created this salvo method, which could eliminate the threat to the greatest extent.

The people who rushed in front fell to the ground one after another, no matter how vigorous they were, no matter how much they looked like they were dancing with teeth and claws, no matter how solid they looked, but now, the barrel of the finger is thick, the arquebus weighs more than ten pounds, and some even weigh more than 20 pounds, and the lead bullet is the size of a pea, and such a lead bullet hits the human body, even if you are wearing steel armor, you will die very miserably.

After paying more than a dozen casualties, Zhang Qiang saw corpses lying on the mountains in front of him or on both sides.

The casualties of these dozen or so people were still the damage inflicted on Zhang Qiang's side by the opposing arquebusiers when they took advantage of these cavalry ejections to shoot at the charging soldiers, relying on concentrated fire or accurate shooting.

But the situation remains serious.

Because the opponent's cold weapon troops seem to be exhausted, but they still have more arquebuses than Zhang Qiang.
