With a wave of his hand, Atelli ran forward with a group of Jurchen soldiers with spears, shot at the Cossack cavalry who were still struggling on the ground, and after confirming that they had been killed, he ran to another person. After the cleanup, Atairi whistled, and the Jurchen soldiers retreated.

Atailie said to Sun Fumin: "Report to the battalion commander, a total of twenty-three people were killed. ”

Sun Fumin smiled: "Well done, prepare, their next round of attacks is coming, and this time they may charge directly into the formation." ”

Atella laughed and said, "Sons, get ready, these Rakshasas are coming to seek death, hold on to their guns, and hang them on meat skewers." ”

Bausak's face was gloomy, and before the two shocks had even sent out arrows, he was beaten by dozens of people with muskets by the Ming army, a defeat that the invincible Cossacks had never encountered. Maybe he overestimated these Ming troops too much, and he didn't need to make any detours at all, and he should be able to crush them by rushing over directly.

He issued an order, and after making a circle, the Cossacks took out their sabers and, with loud shouts, rushed to the Ming troops.

Sun Fumin said loudly: "The firecrackers are divided into two times, attacking in three rows at a time, with an interval of five seconds in between. ”

The commander of the musketeers, following his instructions, gave the order to open fire when the Cossacks were more than a hundred paces away, and then again five seconds later. The Cossacks threw their bodies low when they charged, and most of them were blocked by the horses, so most of the bullets fell on the horses.

The horse was shot and fell to the ground, and the Cossack cavalry floated off the horse with agility, avoiding the herd of horses behind. Sun Fumin looked at this scene and said: "They are like living on horses, and their riding skills are only stronger than the Mongolian cavalry, such an opponent is indeed very tricky." ”

The deputy battalion commander smiled: "Yes, but we fired two rounds, and at least more than a hundred Cossacks fell to the ground or lost their horses." Didn't you say last time that they were not willing to dismount and fight? When we killed the horses, we actually made them incapacitated. ”

Sun Fumin nodded, and at this time, after the firecrackers in the front row fired, they had already put their bayonets on and faced the front, and the ones in the back row began to load ammunition. After the last time the Cossacks almost broke through the defensive line, Sun Fumin stressed that when facing the enemy's cavalry, he must always be ready to kill the enemy with bayonets, and not put all hope on the lethality of the firecracker.

By this time the musketeers in the rear were firing freely, and the Cossack cavalry had already rammed into the spear formations in front. These fierce cavalrymen flew up from their horses and slashed at the Jurchen infantry with spears with their sabers. The Jurchen infantry held the spear shaft in both hands and did not dare to relax, so they could only move slightly to dodge, and at this time, the bayonets of the musketeers next to them helped them block the attack of the Cossacks.

Sun Fumin said: "I don't want to get off the horse to fight, but after the horse is injured, they have to struggle to survive in order to save their lives, and their lethality is greatly reduced after dismounting, but the saber is sharp and flexible, but it is also a little troublesome." ”

The deputy battalion commander said: "Our spears and bayonets are also very good in steel, but they can also compete with their sabers, and we have the advantage of length, and the number of people is also large, and our artillery has not yet spoken." ”

At this time, the artillerymen had already loaded the shells and were anxiously waiting for the artillery chief to issue an order. The chief of the artillery bureau was not in a hurry, and kept watching the battle situation ahead. Because the Cossacks moved too fast, the artillery could not be placed in the front, but could only be mixed in the middle of the firecrackers, and naturally could not fire. Now there was a vacant space in front and behind the musketeers, and the moment the Cossacks crashed into the spear array, with a wave of his hand, the cannonballs whistled upwards and landed in the rear of the Cossacks.

The violent explosion, accompanied by swirling sharp shrapnel, mercilessly harvested the lives of Cossacks and horses, and interrupted the continuity of the Cossack cavalry charge, isolating the Cossacks in front of them from the cavalry in the rear. The musketeers in the back row of the spear formation were given the order to fire freely, and the accuracy of the muskets was greatly improved at a distance of only a dozen paces from the enemy, and the musketeers did not choose the enemy's head, but fired at the chest of the Cossacks, which made it more difficult for the bullet to miss the target, and as long as it hit the Cossacks, no matter where it was, it would cause great damage.

The battle between the two sides soon came to a fever pitch with the artillery bombardment, and the sound of cannons, guns, sabers entering flesh, bayonets rubbing against bones, all kinds of screams, and the wails of the dying horses all converged, making some people more excited and some fearful.

At this time, Sun Fumin's guards raised a flag and began to shake it from side to side. The Mongol cavalry, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, immediately said to Crete: "The battalion commander wants us to start the attack, it is a long-range bow attack. ”

Crete looked at the flag and cried out, "Boys, take out your iron bows and draw your iron arrows, and now it is time for our Mongol warriors to make a meritorious deed." ”

When the Mongols were recruited into the Guard, they received a new iron bow that was much better than the wooden bow they had used before, and the arrows with iron arrows were far stronger than their wolf-tooth arrows. They felt the sharpness and ease of use of the new bow and arrow during their daily training, and now that they finally have the opportunity to open, they are naturally very excited.

The cavalryman clasped his horse's belly between his legs, held a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, and rushed towards the rear of the Cossacks in front. When it comes to horse archery, the Mongols are not afraid of anyone, the Cossacks just wanted to perform a hand in front of the Ming army, but they were severely taught a lesson by the musketeers, and now there are no musketeers among the Rakshasas, so it has become a performance place for the Mongol cavalry.

The iron arrows made a sharp sound and struck the Cossacks' mounts, which was the basic tactical principle followed by the nomads, and when the Cossacks pounced with their sabers, the Mongol cavalry quickly dodged and then reflexively shot at the pursuers or mounts.

The Mongolian horsemanship is indeed second to none in this world, and when an arrow is fired, it will inevitably hit the target, either a man or a horse. Crete shouted excitedly: "Come, come, come again, and shoot again, in front of our Mongol warriors, you guys are really big-faced." ”

Although there were only 500 Mongol cavalry, after the Cossacks were divided into two parts, the harassment of the Cossack rear was excellent. The Mongols used only bows and arrows, and did not fight the Cossacks on their horses at all, and this tactic of retreating with one blow cost the Cossacks dozens of lives, while the Mongol cavalry did not suffer any damage.
