The Qing army fought with the Ming army, and they were accustomed to seeing firearms, not only the cavalry on horseback, but even the war horses that sat down, and they were not afraid of the sound of artillery.

The veteran of the Eight Banners, who has been in battle for a long time, can judge what kind of shells the Western Army is fighting by listening to the sound of cannons, like this kind of solid iron bullet, if it is smashed into a dense infantry formation, it may be able to hit a string, but when it is used to deal with cavalry, the power is a little smaller.

At this time, the Qing army suffered a few shots, and then began to move to both sides, in front of the western army, a large group of sword and shield hands, and the infantry holding a large gun more than a foot long, the expression was relaxed, because they could see that the Qing cavalry did not rush at them, and did not intend to rush straight to the front.

At this time, the sergeants of the Western Army, who were located at the waist of the large array, began to look serious, and the crossbowmen, birds, and foot archers in the inner circle, a large number of crossbowmen, birds, and archers, had already drawn arrows and were ready to fire, just waiting for the enemy to come. \u000b The earth is trembling, as if the snow on the Qinling Mountains in the distance is about to be shaken down, the iron hooves of the Eight Banners cavalry trample the earth, and the cavalry is galloping with the war horses, and countless figures rise and fall, like a monstrous wave, head-on to the western army.

After the artillery, in the Western Army, the second person to appear was not a bird gun or a foot bow, but a crossbowman of more than 2,000 people.

The crossbow was a weapon that developed to the Song Dynasty, and the divine arm crossbow could shoot 300 steps, and the crossbow bed could shoot up to 700 steps, but by the time of the Ming Dynasty, the crossbow technology was fully degraded, and it was far from being comparable with the Song Dynasty.

Although the firearms of the Ming Dynasty were good, before there was no rifling, all the bullets fired were ricochet, and they were basically inaccurate, and later the Western platoon guns were killed, a big reason was that the hit rate of the muskets was too low, but now the crossbows are shot far and accurately.

The configuration of fire in the Western army was far inferior to that of the Ming army, but after Zhang Xianzhong occupied Sichuan, he fought with the local Tusi, but obtained a batch of bows and crossbows from the Tusi, so he was equipped with a group of crossbowmen.

In the Western Army formation, thousands of crossbowmen stepped on the pole with their feet at the same time, bent down to pull the crossbow string up, the crossbow machine creaked, and the shouts of the Western Army generals and colonels rose and fell one after another in the military formation, "Arm open crossbow." \u000b Hearing the order, the crossbowmen raised their crossbows and aimed them at the attacking Qing cavalry, and their half-squinted eyes shot out a fierce light. Put ~" The order flag waved in the formation, and the crossbowmen gently pulled the trigger, and the sharp crossbow arrows in the arrow trough immediately roared out, forming a black rain of arrows and shooting towards the enemy horse.

The momentum of a thousand arrows was like a gale, and the Eight Banners soldiers who rushed to the front fell in response, the horses lost their front hooves, threw off the knights, and slammed on the ground, rolling, wailing, and the arrows fell from the Eight Banners cavalry in two ways, abounding.

The sudden appearance of crossbowmen made the cavalry a little panicked, but since the old slave started the army, the Eight Banners cavalry has fought in the south and the north, and has experienced no less than a hundred battles, how can it be easily stopped by a mere crossbow arrow.

At this time, the Qing cavalry was still rushing, and these obstacles would not affect their charge in the slightest, and the sound of hooves rumbled, and the Qing cavalry quickly narrowed the distance between the two armies. \u000b In the Qing camp, Hauge witnessed the sight just now, and his heart ached, in the past, he fought with the Ming army and the Shun army, they were far away with cannons, close with birds, bows and arrows, although the artillery was amazing, but the real ability to cause powerful lethality was only a hundred paces of scattered bullets, bird guns and bows and arrows caused by the main damage, almost at this distance.

The Western Army's arm-open crossbow had a range of less than three hundred steps of the Song Dynasty's divine arm bow, but it also replied with two hundred and twenty or thirty steps, which made Hauge's eyes narrow, but he quickly calmed down, although the power and range of the crossbow were long, but the enemy was only three shots, and the rate of fire was far less than that of the bow and arrow.

However, now the Qing soldiers want to attack around the formation, it is no longer possible, the lethality of the riding bow is mainly within a hundred paces, but the crossbowmen of the Western Army can kill and injure the enemy at two hundred paces, and the Qing army is around the formation, then it will become a living target.

"Hmph~ In addition to firearms and crossbow arrows, what else do the Han people have to do?" Haoge was on the high platform and snorted coldly: "This king is here to see what tricks the western thief can play!" ”

"Arm open crossbow~" The officer's shout sounded again.

After shooting an arrow, the crossbowmen immediately stepped on the pole again, bent down and pulled the string, and the movements were uniform.

"Bird gun ignition~" This is the Qing cavalry has rushed to one hundred and fifty steps, into the effective killing range of the fire gun, one of the few Western army guns, picked up the bird gun, shot at the galloping Qing army.

Zhang Wenxiu's army, although the appearance is not good, the soldiers wear all kinds of armor and colors, but in the face of thousands of swarming Qing cavalry, the formation can be done without panic, not chaotic, loyal to their duties, the soldiers move neatly and uniformly, and react quickly, it can be called an elite division.

The winter in Hanzhong is very cold, and the Qing army in Huguang, Fujian wearing single armor, become a light cavalry, the Qing soldiers in Hanzhong generally wear very thick, most of them wear two layers of cotton armor, between light cavalry and heavy cavalry.

At this time, the birds, crossbows and arrows were intertwined, and the Qing cavalry fell from their horses, which made them tremble, but many years of combat experience told them that they were already close to the enemy with three arrows, so they tried to tell themselves not to be afraid.

Bayan lay on the horseback, shouting at the Qing soldiers to continue to rush forward, while thinking, although the crossbow arrows are extremely penetrating, the fire gun can't destroy the two layers of cotton armor, but the crossbow arrows can be easily torn apart, but looking at the rate of fire of the Western Army, they can shoot at most one shot, they have now killed within one hundred and fifty steps, and they can completely hold another round, as long as they enter a hundred steps, they can ride back and shoot back, and when they reach fifty steps, they will begin to prepare for the slaughter of the Western Army.

Qing cavalry one after another, the Western Army's arms and crossbows and bird commanders continued to shoot, I don't know how many Eight Banners fell to the ground, and waited until the largest number of Western Army foot archers began to throw arrow rain, but also formed an impermeable arrow wall.

After all the weapons of the Western Army were used in turn, the Eight Banners finally picked up the cavalry bow with a pitiful range and fired back.

At this time, the cavalry of the Qing army did not dare to see how many corpses were left behind them, and they had no time to take care of it, because the large array of the Western Army was in front of them, and all they had to do was to collide with it and cut off the Western Army formation in one fell swoop, disrupting the large array of the Western Army.

In the camp of the Qing army, the corners of Haoge's mouth, who was standing on a high platform and commanding the battle, twitched, and his eyes widened as he looked at the corpses of the Eight Banners scattered along the way, revealing a look of shock.

From this time on, he no longer regarded the Western Army as a thief, but an elite enemy.

Finally, the two Eight Banners collided with the Western Army's large array, with two oval waists, and they were immediately hit by the Eight Banners and sunk.

Seeing this, Hao Ge smiled with satisfaction, as long as he could cut off Zhang Wenxiu, the Eight Banners soldiers who died on the attack road before would die worth it.

At this time, Zhang Wenxiu, who was in the Western Army formation, saw the Eight Banners entering the formation, his eyes narrowed, and he waved his hand calmly: "Change the formation!" ”

In the formation of the Western Army, the flag was waved immediately, Hauge's face suddenly changed, the Western Army did not appear in the imaginary rout, and the entire elliptical array, as if in order to cooperate with the Eight Banners, took the initiative to line up and divided into two ellipses.

The cavalry of the Eight Banners instinctively passed through the gap between the two circular formations, while the pikemen of the Western Army, when they saw the enemy horsemen, poked their horses down, and the archers fired cold arrows from time to time.

Meng Qiaofang, who was standing on the high platform with Haoge, still had some knowledge, and hurriedly exclaimed: "This seems to be Xue Yue Fei's scattered star array. \u000b Hauge also reacted quickly, and when he saw that the tactics did not work, he did not drag the mud and water at all, and shouted: "Summons, withdraw!" ”

And at this moment, the Qing general, who was in charge of observing the battlefield, hurriedly exclaimed: "Lord Wang, the western army in the south and west is speeding up and rushing towards the camp. ”
