While the elite archers continued to shoot accurately, the archers who were inferior to the bow of one stone and two buckets also joined in. In the entire Jianzhou army, there are only more than 100 people who can open a strong bow with two Song standards and more than one stone and five buckets. However, if the conditions are relaxed to the standard of killing two birds with one stone, it will suddenly increase to more than two thousand. At least half of the more than 100 elite archers of Niu Lu who participated in the battle dismounted and began to shoot. When hundreds of strong archers concentrated the bow and arrow fire that continued to unfold on the frontal front of about 200 paces, it began to make even the gunners in the front row of the personal guard brigade led by Huang Dou, who had a lot of experience in battle, feel a huge pressure.

This momentum was almost equivalent to the heavy arrow that the Rhode Island slinger fired about half the power of the lead bullet in the face, and the well-made mask could not effectively withstand the heavy blow, and the whole action of loading gunpowder and firing the gun would be very difficult under the blow like a hammer. The efficiency of flintlock fire in the ranks was also greatly reduced, and the gunners who were suppressed by the strong archers could only huddle behind the human wall and wait for the opportunity to "fight the bayonets with artillery" at close range.

Huang Dou had seen Jiannu's archers in another plane, but he had never been as real and fierce as this, and even the legendary English longbowmen of the peak era could not be compared. What Huang Dou didn't know was that this was not only the difference between the compound bow and the single bow, but the English longbowmen were all seriously inferior in strength in the major battles of the Hundred Years' War, and faced the French who concentrated elite knight-level plate armor, and the effectiveness of the projection during the Battle of Akuquin was of course greatly reduced. However, at this time, when Houjin was using several times the superior force to fight against the opponent, the effect brought by the elite strong archers was enough to seriously suppress the queue armament without a chariot shield system that was fully armed with steel plate armor of the same standard in the Renaissance era.

After giving the opponent's gunners, especially the gunners, the maximum suppression, the entire Jianzhou shield wall continued to advance. The Jianzhou army, which had been forced to a distance of 100 paces by large-caliber flintlock guns, also began to surround from all directions.

Huang Dou felt that the team could no longer retreat at this time, and the only chance to win now was to rely on the hand-to-hand combat of the plate armor spear and some other trump cards that showed their might in the other side in close combat.

Just when the shield wall of the Jianzhou army, which had been damaged under the blow of artillery, but still played an important role, began to gradually approach. The "eight-pack rocket", which had been prepared for a long time, was also pushed out at this time.

On the other plane, black powder rocket weapons used to be the weapons of mass destruction in decisive battles, and the more realistic laws of this plane have made Huang Dou have no expectations for the accuracy and effect of this rocket weapon at a distance, but he can only hope that the arson and burning effects can completely disintegrate the shield wall that is constantly approaching the construction army.

When the twelve eight-barreled rocket launchers were just revealed from the metallic spears, the heavy arrows fired by the elite strong archers of Jianzhou approached like locusts. Of course, because the bow and arrow could not be fired at a distance of about thirty or forty paces and then quickly reach the target, at least eighty of the ninety-six rockets still spewled out smoke and whistling in the rapidly burning flames. It seems that with a certain stable tail, the accuracy of the rocket is not too bad. It's just that most of these rockets, which weigh less than 20 kilograms, don't have enough momentum to penetrate or overturn the opponent's shield wall when they can barely hit a certain rate at thirty or forty meters. However, the successive explosions still made many shield carts burn, although they were not shattered by the 17th-century level gunpowder, which was not as powerful as a grenade or two pounds.

The explosive power of black powder, which was vastly different from the world of another plane, made the rocket artillerymen disappointed, and Huang Dou began to understand why this kind of weapon did not become popular in the era of smoothbore guns. It's just that it can ignite a lot of opponents' shield cars, and it's a little pressed.

However, in the case that the Jianzhou Army, which fought with shield vehicles in the era of firearms, had a lot of actual combat experience and rich think tanks, how could it not be imagined that the opponent might attack by arson? Almost every shield cart is equipped with a special water bladder, according to the fifth volume of the "Cabinet Collection of Manchu Old Files". Although a few shield cars were burned, this was of no help to the Jianzhou army, which held the initiative on the entire battlefield. The flames formed by the fragile rocket were quickly extinguished.

When the two sides were already very close, the decisive blow of the Manchurian cavalry finally came. With the help of the cover of the infantry wall, at least more than 500 elite guards who could shoot more than one stone and two buckets of bows quietly moved to a corner of the junction of the front and flanks of the entire hollow phalanx, and launched a fierce fire, including forty strong archers who killed five to eight buckets with one stone.

In a short period of time, about one or two hundred people were wounded, and several hundred people staggered under the fierce blunt attack, and concentrated in a corner of the density of troops that was only twenty or thirty paces wide, and a few hundred people were dense. The Guards Brigade, which originally had a fairly strong will and experience in battle, was also partially confused and shaken in a very short period of time.

The shock cavalry, which had been prepared for a long time, suddenly appeared in the direction of the breakthrough that was being suppressed by the strong bow. With the shouting of killing like a tide, the decisive blow of Jianzhou's elite finally arrived.

The Guards Brigade led by Huang Dou, who had experienced a lot of battles with the Jiannu of the other plane, did not feel frightened by this, and they believed that although the Jiannu of this plane was far more powerful than imagined in terms of tactical system and combat rules and even elite marksmen. However, in hand-to-hand combat, the Plate Spearmen should be completely unafraid of their opponents.

"On the reserves!" Of course, Huang Dou, who has rich combat experience, has been prepared for this, and the gap that has just been punched seems to have been closed in a very short period of time, so that the ability to react to the battle makes Hun Tai Ji Hei still Bo Lie at this time can't help but be amazed.

"Stab to the right!"

Just when Huang Dou just shouted like this, he didn't expect that it was the elite spear of the Jianzhou White Armor that was gathered and stabbed first.

The gap between the truly well-trained elite and the ordinary soldier can not be made up by mere discipline and formation? It's just that the strength of the hand is different because of the different levels of training, so that the elite of the white armor can hold the part closer to the tail to attack, and the attack range of the same spear is obviously much stronger than that of the opponent, and it is said that the spearman in the white armor is selected in terms of height.

Although the plate armor could not be easily pierced, with the continuous deployment of cannon and light artillery fire at close range, a very obvious gap was soon opened by the Jianzhou elite in the corner of the large array. The whole formation couldn't help but shrink from this.

At this time, the Jianzhou medium field artillery, which had the advantage of the periphery, suddenly burst out of artillery fire from within a human wall and fiercely launched close fire. With such skillful light and heavy firearms and the skillful cooperation of strong archers and elite spearmen that the Guards Brigade led by Huang Dou had never seen before, the strong Guards Brigade showed signs of defeat for the first time.
