Chapter 816 Rushing Formation

Mercedes-Benz Zhongqing General Xu Degong was in a cold sweat, but he knew that this was only time-keeping, as a Han military flag that was good at using firearms, he naturally knew about the Ming army's firearms, although the rate of fire of the Franc machine was fast, but it was only equipped with four guns, and when the four rounds were finished, it would immediately slow down.

Sure enough, almost in a moment, the Ming army finished four rounds, and the Qing cavalry formation that rushed into the formation was scattered after the artillery bombardment, but the artillery of the Ming army also thinned out.

This relieved the cavalry who were lying on horseback and charged, and the Ming spearmen who were squatting on the ground were also a little more relaxed, after all, hundreds of iron bullets kept passing over their heads, blowing gusts of wind, which was not a particularly good experience.

However, if they can choose, they still hope that the artillery will not stop, and it is best to overturn all the Qing cavalry that rushes in, so as to avoid the Qing cavalry with the sound of shaking the ground and shaking the mountains from colliding into battle.

"Two hundred steps! Ignition! The Qing cavalry continued to gallop under sparse artillery fire, and the vanguard had already rushed to within two hundred, and the general who commanded the musketeers immediately shouted loudly.

Thousands of firecrackers picked up the flint and struck it, and the sound of "ding, ding, ding" in the formation rang out, and when the soldiers lit the firerope and then fixed it on the firerope clamp, the Qing cavalry had already killed one hundred and fifty steps with overwhelming might.

To command thousands of firecrackers, there is an orderly rotation of fire, relying on roaring, relying on the command flag, the soldiers can not always twist their heads to watch the generals wave the flag, and the war drums in the army bear the responsibility of commanding the armies, the Ming army's firearms team formed a set of independent command.

The two suona sounds of "dada", the first row of gunners who lit the fire rope immediately raised the guns, and then the suona hands in the team continued to blow a high-pitched long sound, and the first row of firecrackers immediately pulled the trigger, opened the lid of the medicine pot, and the burning fire rope fell, and suddenly sounded a series of "bang bang bang" sounds.

In the Ming army's array, the smoke of gunpowder became thicker, and from a distance, the Ming army seemed to be soaring through the clouds.

At this time, the cavalry of the Qing army had rushed to within one hundred and fifty steps, and they were thinning out the artillery of the Ming army, and fortunately, the dense lead bullets were rushing to the face, and many Qing soldiers were shaken by the beating, but they did not fall off their horses, obviously the distance was too far, and the Qing army was wearing thick, so the fire gun failed to break the armor.

In front of the Ming army, when the soldiers saw this, they were slightly commotioned, and the generals had a fierce roar like a tiger on their faces with the hideousness unique to the battlefield: "Let it go again!" ”

The suona hand never stopped, and the firecracker discerned the instructions according to the rhythm and sound, so that thousands of people could be uniform, so that three columns of gunners took turns to shoot, and it did not appear chaotic at all.

The smoke rising in front of the battle blurred the sight of the firecrackers, but he didn't care about this, the accuracy of the bird's guns was worse than the bow and arrow, and if they couldn't hit, it was all up to luck, and the soldiers didn't need to aim, because they relied on the collective strength, relying on the whole platoon of gunners to fire at the same time, throwing a rain of bullets like scattering beans to cause damage.

The soldiers didn't have time to observe the battlefield, and after they finished letting go of their guns, they had to retreat immediately according to the sound of suona and horns.

These gunners all had a strap hanging diagonally, which was full of various objects, two small iron pots, one for gunpowder and one for projectiles, and more than a dozen small white clay pots, which contained the ammunition fired each time, which was to prevent the soldiers from being nervous during the battle, putting more or less gunpowder, causing insufficient power, or causing explosions.

The retired soldier first cleaned the fire hole and the primer pot so that the residue would not block the fire hole, then poured the primer into the primer pot and closed the lid of the primer pot, then unscrewed the vial containing the ******, poured the ****** through the muzzle, and then loaded the projectile pre-contained in the mouth from the muzzle.

The firearms masters of the Ming Dynasty did not approve of the soldiers holding the projectile in their mouths, for fear that the soldiers would swallow the projectiles into their stomachs by mistake because of wartime tension, but the Ming army found that as long as the soldiers had undergone more than three months of training, such a thing would basically not happen, and the shouting in the mouth could indeed simplify the complicated loading steps of the bird gun and increase the rate of fire.

The soldier loaded the gunpowder and projectile, pulled out the strip from under the barrel, tamped the projectile and ******, and finally checked whether the fire rope was extinguished, fixed the fire rope, and waited for the order to shoot again.

Dense rain of bullets poured in waves, as the Qing cavalry got closer and closer, the power of the fire gun became greater and greater, when it was close to a hundred paces, the cavalry in front began to pounce one after another, and the war horses stumbled one after another, throwing out the soldiers above.

Although the Qing army used cotton armor to make a temporary vest for the war horse, it was not a special vest after all, as the distance was shortened, the power of firearms also appeared, even heavy armor may be broken, not to mention cotton armor.

Watching the Qing cavalry fall to the ground one after another, the Ming soldiers did not relax, but looked solemn, because the impact was about to begin.

Hao Shaoqi of the Chinese army has been staring at the galloping Qing cavalry, watching the attrition of the Qing cavalry, and now the damage caused by the Ming army to the Qing cavalry is obviously lower, which makes his brows furrowed.

"The enemy is close to fifty paces!" Looking upstairs, the hundreds of households who observed the distance shouted urgently.

In the front line of the Ming army, as the cavalry was about to rush to the front, the shaking of the earth became more violent, and this point was especially felt by the pikemen who were squatting on the ground.

This scene, the sound of ten thousand hooves trampling the earth, was like an earthquake, and many soldiers saw this terrible scene, their palms were sweating, and some of them even trembled directly.

"Raise your gun! Raise your gun! Dong Cunming, who came to the front, screamed.

The drums of war in the Chinese army were beating rapidly, and the pikemen suddenly woke up, and one by one they pestled the tail of their guns on the ground, and the heads of their guns stabbed forward diagonally.

"Mountain, mountain, mountain, immovable as a mountain!" The spears of the forest stabbed obliquely, and the head of the spear was cold and shining, like a steel forest, and the soldiers shouted one after another, cheering themselves and their comrades, hoping that the entire array, like the towering Mount Tai, could not be shaken.

The spear forest was ready to meet the Qing cavalry, but the first thing they faced was not the Qing cavalry, but a rain of black arrows that suddenly fell from the sky.

The Qing army used diamond-shaped armor-piercing heavy arrows, after they threw them into the air, the arrows fell quickly, and they could generally tear the cotton armor of the Ming army, but in the winter, the Ming army also wore double-layer cotton armor this time, the arrows flew down and were inserted into the ground, and the wings of the tail of the arrow continued to vibrate, making a buzzing sound, but it did not cause much damage when it was shot at the Ming army, and only some of the soldiers fell down with the arrow wailing.

Fifty paces away from the formation, the cavalry of the Qing army was divided into two parts, more than 2,000 horsemen in front, holding their spears one after another, directly crashed into the large array, and more than 4,000 horsemen in the back immediately divided into two parts after bending the bow and throwing arrows to open the way for the cavalry who rushed into the formation, turning left and right, preparing to form the second and third waves of continuous impact.

"Boom" with a loud bang, wearing bloated armor, the front of the horse only leaked two small front legs of the Qing cavalry suddenly collided with the Ming army gun array, a spear, directly pierced the cotton armor in front of the horse, penetrated from the ****, and stabbed the Qing cavalry above, and the huge impact force, pushed the squatting Ming army gunner, rubbed a distance of three feet on the ground, pestle the tail of the gun on the ground, and left a long groove mark on the ground.
