The Han army walked to a distance of about a hundred steps from the trench and began to attack with muskets and bows and arrows, the firearms they used were old-fashioned arquebuses, with slender barrels, slow rate of fire and little power, and the Han army's archery skills were not their forte, so the Jingying did not pay attention to them at all, but just watched them continue to advance. When the Han army advanced to eighty paces, the Houjin armor soldiers began to shoot, and the target of the attack was the Ming army in the trench, and the Ming army clinged to the ditch wall to minimize the area under attack, so occasionally a scream from the trench could be heard.

When the Han army reached fifty paces in front of the battle, the herald saw that the command flag began to wave, so he shouted: "Point your guns at the front and be ready." At this time, a soldier suddenly heard a bang, and a soldier pulled the trigger because of nervousness, and just hit a Han soldier in front of him, knocking him to the ground, and the other soldiers opened fire together, sweeping away a piece of the Han army in front.

The heralds were so angry that the officers of the various divisions immediately issued an order: "Pack up the gunpowder and prepare it." The herald then shouted: "No fire, no fire." At this time, the command flag waved a few more times, and the herald said: "Shoot in three sections." The officers of the various units immediately began to take over the command headquarters, "The first attack of the first battalion and the first division is under my command." Fire! "Start the charge and wait for the second attack order." ……

The first time they participated in actual combat, some soldiers usually remembered the operation process firmly at this time, and even some soldiers did not even send out the first shot at all, but most soldiers can charge and shoot according to the requirements of the drill code, but the speed is much slower than that of training.

Yang Guanggao observed the enemy's movements with a telescope, and when the Han army was only twenty paces away from the trench, he shouted, "Artillery fire." The drummers next to him tapped the edge of the drum in unison, and the crisp sound of bangs came far away, and the artillery officers shouted in unison: "Fire." "The artillery in the trench in front of it let out a roaring roar, and the small lead in the tiger squat cannon spewed out in a fan shape, almost sweeping away the two rows of Han troops in the front, and some of the rear ones were also affected, and immediately a large number of Han soldiers fell to the ground, and the dead were okay, and those who did not die covered their faces or the wounds on their bodies, which was really miserable. The other Han troops did not dare to advance any further, and some ran backwards, and after being hacked to death by a few soldiers, they ran away on both sides. At least 200 people were knocked down in this shelling, more than the previous guns combined.

At this time, the Houjin armor soldiers were closer, and they all used bows and arrows to shoot and attack, their bow and arrow skills were much stronger than those of the Han army, and the soldiers in the trench were attacked because they stood up to shoot or charge, and the area under attack increased, so the effect was much stronger than that of the Han army, and the screams of the Ming army increased significantly.

But when it got closer, the hit rate of the fire gun also increased greatly, so the fall of the rear golden armor soldiers was also increasing, at this time, the drummer beat the drum three times at the same time, and then it sounded again and again, the infantry phalanx twenty paces away from the trench began to move forward, the drum sounded, one step forward, the rear gold armor soldiers began to shoot straight to this side, and the soldiers kept falling, and the officer immediately drove the soldiers behind to make up for it, Yang Guanggao saw that the two were about thirty steps apart, and shouted: "Fire in sections." ”

The drummer struck heavily, the infantry phalanx stopped, the first row of soldiers crouched, the second and third rows of soldiers automatically staggered, and there was a heavy sound, and the three rows of soldiers fired together, and the front of the formation was instantly filled with gunsmoke. At this time, the soldiers of the first three rows all stood in place and began to charge, the seventh, eighty-ninth platoon went to the front, the seventh platoon squatted, the eighth and ninth platoons staggered, heavy drums sounded, and another burst of gunfire, and then the fourth, fifth, and sixth platoons stepped forward and repeated, only one after another gunfire was seen on the formation, and the smoke in front of the formation was just about to disperse, and it was filled again, and the soldiers could not see the situation on the other side at all.

After three bursts of gunfire, the drums stopped sounding, and the wind slowly blew up the gunsmoke, revealing the battlefield in front of everyone's eyes again. A large number of armored soldiers fell, but some armored soldiers were already approaching the front of the trench, and some people were jumping into the trench, Yang Guanggao ordered: "Quickly open fire in sections." The trench soldiers retreated with bayonets. The drums sounded, and these three heavy drums were more urgent than the previous one, and then three more shots rang out, and then the drums changed, and they were struck four times in a row, and the voices of officers of all ranks sounded in the trenches: "Don't charge again, use bayonets after the fight." ”

Then the drums sounded three times in succession, and the infantry phalanx, after being loaded with medicine, began to advance under the leadership of the officers, until they reached the edge of the trench, and the drums sounded six times, long and short, and the officers of the various formations shouted: "Free fire." "So after the front row finished shooting, they went to the back to reload, and so on and so on, and kept pouring ammunition into the trench.

The Jiannu armor soldiers over there kept falling to the ground, and the infantry of the Ming army on this side also fell from time to time with arrows, and quickly let the baggage soldiers drag them behind, and the medical officer began to bandage them simply.

Finally, Jiannu couldn't hold it anymore, and the sound of gold sounded on the opposite side, and the soldiers began to slowly retreat, converging together, but they were still facing the Ming army, shooting arrows while retreating. Yang Guanggao ordered to follow the Houjin soldiers to advance slowly, and at the same time concentrated the infantry queues, turning them into two formations, each of which was six rows of infantry, and the two formations in front and back were ten paces apart. The soldiers followed the drum beat over the trench, and approached step by step, and the sound of firing guns was constantly sounded.

When the gold-armored soldiers were about to retreat to the banner master, the formation suddenly changed, and a group of white-armored soldiers rushed out, threw the javelins and swords in their hands together, knocked down more than a dozen soldiers in front of the first row of phalanxes, and then drew out their long weapons and slashed towards the phalanx.

These white armor were covered with two layers of armor, and they began to slash after rushing into the phalanx, while the infantry was not an opponent at all when dealing with bayonets, and the phalanx in front was quickly chaotic, and the soldiers who fell to the ground screamed loudly, and the soldiers who were not injured also began to flee in all directions, avoiding the slashing of the white armor, and even some soldiers began to run backwards and rushed to the phalanx behind, and the military judge of the phalanx behind shouted: "Run to the side, you are not allowed to rush into battle." Then he walked to the front of the phalanx, and when he encountered the soldiers who rushed to the front of the formation, he slashed to the ground. Seeing this, the other soldiers who were about to retreat were a little more sober, and either turned around and fought with Jiannu, or ran to the side.

The first row of phalanx was quickly broken up by the white armor soldiers, and the white armor rushed to the second row of phalanx. The commanders of the second platoon saw the lessons of the phalanx in front clearly, and naturally knew how to deal with it, and they all shouted: "Keep the formation and don't mess up, shoot freely." After the shooting, the charge was not allowed, and the Jiannu was assassinated together with a bayonet. ”
