Chapter 600: Frontal Assault

The Qing army took a closer look, and the front army of the Wei army lined up in a horizontal formation with firearms in hand, and there were many small cars in the formation, advancing slowly.

There were about 5,000 people in this firecracker phalanx, and when the firecracker array just moved, there were 5,000 infantry troops behind them, following behind the gunned soldiers, and began to advance slowly.

At the same time, the Wei army sent 5,000 people on each flank, each 1,000 people were a small phalanx, guarding both sides of the array, advancing forward!

The Wei army invested 20,000 horses at once, and the huge array pressed towards the Qing army, making the Qing army feel a trace of pressure.

"Lord Wang, the enemy army has moved." If it was an ordinary opponent, there were 100,000 people on the opposite side, and the Qing army was not afraid, but as soon as Gao Yihuan moved, many Qing troops immediately became serious.

Over the years, the Qing army has suffered a lot of losses in the old and second-hand countries, and recently it was attacked by the Wei army to take Guanzhong, and the morale of the Wei army is high, which is really a little scary.

"Straight thief, Gao Yihuan wants to be tough with this king, and he wants to directly defeat this king's army!" Geng Zhongming was a little angry.

Wei Jun didn't take him seriously, it was too rampant.

"Lord Wang, do you want to send cavalry up......" someone next to him immediately suggested.

Geng Zhongming immediately frowned, it seemed that his subordinates were a little panicked!

Geng Zhongming glanced at his generals, pretended to be relaxed, and shook his head, "Hmph, don't worry!" Gao Yihuan has many cards, the king has few soldiers, and the cavalry is the king's hole card, so it's not too late to wait and shoot! ”

The battle had just begun, and Geng Zhongming didn't plan to make a move, he wanted to fight a defensive counterattack.

After speaking, he waved his hand, "Let the red-coated cannon fire first, and then turn the fire gun forward, ready to meet the enemy soldiers!" ”

Although Gao Yihuan is a hard stubble, Geng Zhongming is not muddy, he has not been a bastard for decades, and his experience in battle formations can be said to be extremely rich.

As he spoke, the Wei army's infantry had continued to move forward, and the red-clothed cannons in the rear of the Qing army roared, and ten iron bullets smashed in, splashing the dirt.

One shot hit the Wei army, and immediately seven or eight Wei soldiers were overturned, plowing out a terrifying blood line.

Generally speaking, the red-coated cannons could not keep up with the speed of the army and were rarely used in field battles, but there were exactly ten red-coated cannons in Shaanzhou, and they were pulled out by Geng Zhongming.

Geng Zhongming had a smile on his face, but the red-clothed cannon was not suitable for field combat.

This was not only because it was too bulky, but also because it had a limited rate of fire and was only suitable for bombarding fixed walls, and the damage to moving targets was no worse than the Wei army's copper cannons.

After all, if a person is hit by an eighteen-pound cannonball and a four-pound cannonball, the result is death, and the effect is not much different.

After the first cannon was fired, as soon as the cannon retreated, the gun position had to be readjusted, and the elevation angle was also readjusted, and after a round, the artillery array of the Qing army was silent.

At this time, before the second round of artillery began to fight, on both sides of the Wei army's infantry formation, copper cannons dragged by healthy horses appeared.

The Wei artillery was light and easy to operate, and the gunners quickly aimed the muzzles of the black holes at the Qing army's infantry formation.

After a few "boom" cannon sounds, the Wei soldiers with guns in their hands turned their eyes to the two wings, and saw that there were clouds of white smoke rising there, and the guns retreated, and the gunners began to carry out the second round of reloading.

The field artillery of the Wei army, firing shells of about four catties, has a small power and range, but the rate of fire is fast.

The artillery on both flanks fired crosswise, and a dozen were in a diagonal line.

In an instant, the Wei army fired two rounds in a row, and the Qing army's infantry immediately became a little commotion.

Geng Zhongming, who pretended to be calm, still looked a little serious. At this time, the red-coated artillery deployed by the Qing army finally fired again, and the shell pierced the air and smashed into the open area between the two armies.

The artillerymen of both sides tacitly did not bombard each other, but both regarded each other's infantry formations as targets.

At this time, the accuracy of the artillery was not high, and the red-coated cannon of the Qing army wanted to hit the copper cannon of the Wei army from a distance of two or three miles, but the possibility was very small, and the bronze cannon of the Wei army was not only difficult to hit the red-coated cannon, but also because the firing range was not as good as the red-coated cannon, and it could not reach the red-coated cannon on the high ground in the rear of the Qing army.

For a time, both sides aimed at each other's huge infantry army, and the training of the Wei army's artillery team can be said to be the best in the Central Plains, and the shells continued to hit the Qing army. The soldiers who resisted the fire on their shoulders saw that the Qing army was pierced by artillery in many places, and their pace immediately became steady.

With the flintlock pistol, the Wei army had one more killer feature, that is, the platoon shot killing.

Of course, just by platoon guns, it is looking for death. Platoon guns can only kill and wound the enemy in the front, and the flanks of the firecrackers still need to be guarded by horses, spears, and swords and shields, and the Wei army still needs to maintain a considerable proportion of cold weapons.

In addition, it is also necessary to have artillery, rockets, earth-shaking thunder and other weapons to enhance the firepower, so that the gun line is invincible in the front.

The guns of the Kesheng army, carrying the fire guns, stepping on the steps, advancing forward, the artillery bombardment of the Qing army came again, the rear of the Qing array on the opposite side of the gun array, there was a thunderous sound, the red-coated cannon spewed out a thick smoke, and an iron bullet of about 18 catties smashed in front of the gun array, the soil was splashed on all sides, the shells bounced, and flew over the heads of the gun array, which shocked the soldiers whose heartbeat intensified and their throats were dry.

At this time, during the gap between the Wei army's guns, more than a dozen rocket carts gradually overtook the gunning array, and when they reached the front of the team, the soldiers who pushed the carts put down the carts, and immediately ran back after a short pause.

Geng Zhongming's expression became serious, and he saw that dazzling flames suddenly exploded on those vehicles, clouds of white smoke rose up, and rockets the size of spears, with tail flames, screamed towards the Qing army front.

Geng Zhongming knew that he had seen this thing outside Runing City, the range was long, and the movement was large, but the hit rate was not high, and whether he could shoot it or not depended on fate.

The smoke of gunpowder rose, and the advancing Wei army saw nearly a hundred fire snakes flying out of the rocket car, and the thick white smoke instantly filled the gap between the two armies, blurring the Qing formation on the opposite side.

The soldiers saw the fire snake scurrying around, and there was a sudden chaos in the Qing army on the opposite side, and they exclaimed again and again.

Geng Zhongming's face turned blue in an instant, although he had this rich experience in warfare, but in the face of the situation in front of him, his previous experience did not work.

These rockets were chaotic, and in an instant, they disrupted the Qing army's formation, and fired at the Wei army's infantry formation in the current formation, and the front army was definitely doomed.

A gust of north wind blew, the smoke was blown away, Geng Zhongming rode on the horse, and saw the Qing army in front of him in chaos, looking at the Wei army lined up in the smoke and dust, stepping on the steps, the pole undulated forward, the person suddenly had a spirit, raised his right hand high, and then fell heavily: "Ma Jun, flank the enemy soldiers to this king, don't let them get close." ”

On both wings, Bolo in the Mongolian horse army formation heard the horn, and immediately clamped the horse's belly and rushed out with the cavalry.

Thousands of horsemen rushed out from the left and right wings, like two big pincers, to encircle the Wei army's infantry formation~
