In front of the Qing army, 10,000 horses reluctantly lined up the formation in the advance, the sword and shield soldiers in front began to protect the vital point with their shields, and their bodies bowed, and the spearmen behind raised their spears, and the cold light of a forest of guns flashed, and the archers who walked at the end pinched out a feather arrow from the quiver, tied it up, and prepared to draw it into a full circle while walking.

This is still the old method of warfare, the intention is that after the two armies collide, the sword, shield and spear will fight in close combat, and the archers will shoot from behind, without any problems.

However, they encountered the Kesheng camp, and the biggest problem with firearms in the Ming Dynasty was the quality problem.

The corruption of the bureaucratic system made the entire armament manufacturing of the Ming army like child's play.

The Ming army had many excellent tactics, such as three-stage shooting and other tactics that appeared during the founding of the country, which could break the rebels, but gradually disappeared later.

During the Hongwu period, Mu Ying was able to use this method to break the enemy, but it didn't make sense that after more than two hundred years, it wouldn't work.

The key to this is the problem of quality, the corruption of officials has led to the entire ordnance manufacturing system, which is not as clean and honest as the Taizu period in the early Ming Dynasty.

Wang Yan also hated this, at the beginning he set up a car battalion according to Qi Shuai's training method, and then marched north to Huguang, when he went out, seventy percent of the firearms, and when he came back, he had already become a cold weapon army.

At this time, the Lumi gun taken by the Kesheng battalion was different, although it could not completely avoid the explosion, but the quality was undoubtedly greatly improved.

One of the reasons for this is that the military hired the Portuguese, and on the condition that it was promised to be missionary, it was supported by the Jesuits and absorbed the casting method of Xiyi. Second, the Ordnance Supervisor has set up a set of reward and punishment systems, and each gun is cast with the name of the craftsman and the supervisor, and if it is blown up, the craftsman and the supervisor must bear a certain responsibility. Third, in terms of charge, exploration was carried out to standardize the use of medicine.

In this way, the current batch of Lu Mi guns was created.

The Qing army rushed to within 150 paces, and the first Ming sergeant in a horizontal formation released his guns.

In a cloud of gunsmoke, lead bullets flew out and hit the shield, sparks splashed in all directions, hitting the legs of the Qing soldiers, and the advancing Qing soldiers immediately fell to their knees and wailed.

The Qing army general was stunned by the Ming army's firearms, he had been in battle for a long time, it was not that he had not eaten the Ming army's guns, but this time, he could feel the difference.

The range of the firebolt has been significantly increased, and its power has also increased a lot, and it can actually cause damage at one hundred and fifty paces.

"Don't mess around! Stick it up, and they'll be finished in no time! The Qing general raised his sword and shouted, calmed his spirits, and ordered the soldiers to continue advancing.

The Qing soldiers, jumping over the corpses, and the wounded soldiers who knelt on the ground and wailed, continued to maintain the basic formation and moved forward, but they didn't take two steps, and there was another bang in the Ming army's formation.

The Qing soldiers only heard this group of people who killed a thousand knives, beating gongs and drums, and putting guns, fighting row after row, and the Qing soldiers in front were beaten like sieve chaff by lead bullets, and they fell down in pieces.

However, the archers of the Qing army were placed behind the swords, shields and pikemen, and the bows and arrows were originally not as long as the firearms, and now they were even more out of reach.

Bolo saw the Qing soldiers fall to the ground, his face was stunned, he became anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "Let them rush!" ”

As soon as the trumpets and drums of the Qing army changed, the sound was urgent, and the stunned Qing generals reacted and walked down, and it was estimated that before the battle was engaged, the people died.

"Rush over! Hand-to-hand combat! The Qing generals roared loudly, and the Qing soldiers listened to the rapid trumpets and drums, and they all rushed wildly.

On the side of the Ming army, there were orderly rounds of shooting, loading, and the Qing soldiers who came running, kept falling to the ground, and the soldiers who were shot rolled on the ground, wailing, but this did not stop the Qing soldiers from continuing to attack.

Although these green battalion soldiers were beaten and suffered heavy losses, as a former member of the Ming army, they knew a lot about the firecrackers.

Although they don't understand whether the Ming army's gunners are fighting today, do they know that as long as they fight, they can't fight a group of gunners?

One hundred paces, the gunners in the front row of the Qing army, most of the swords and shields had fallen, and at this time, the Qing army archers who were running behind finally threw the first wave of feather arrows.

The rain of arrows in the sky flew and fell like raindrops, and in the Ming army array, a large number of guns fell to the ground with arrows, but the remaining guns did not move, just mechanically listening to the sound of gongs and drums in the horizontal formation, to repeat the reloading, check the fire rope, go forward to raise the gun to shoot, and retreat to reload.

They are not worried about the gaps around them, because as soon as someone falls, there will be a gun in the back row to fill it, forming a continuous blow.

Compared with bows and arrows, the advantages of the fire gun March army, simple training, gradually appeared.

Fifty steps, the firebolt can already penetrate most of the armor and penetrate the rattan card.

"Woo Woo Woo~" After a piece of gunpowder smoke rose up, the Qing army fell again, a Qing army rattan player, the rattan card on his chest was pierced by a lead bullet, and then hit his chest, he rushed forward, under this blow, suddenly flew upside down, and overwhelmed an archer behind.

At this moment, the gongs and drums in the horizontal formation were suddenly closed, and Liu Wenxiu was heard shouting, "Draw the knife." ”

In fact, in the Ming army, there was a gun that could be stuffed in the barrel, but because it was easy to fall off after piercing, the Ming army rarely used it.

According to the record of the "Ming Huidian", during the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty in China, it was the first time that the spearhead was installed on the iron gun to facilitate assassination.

This method combines the performance of muskets and spears, and in this sense, the first origin of the bayonet was in China, and it was not until more than 100 years later, in the middle of the 16th century, that the invention of installing spearheads on shotguns to assassinate prey appeared in Europe.

The bayonet in the Western sense also appeared a few years ago, but it is still being passed down to China.

If you wait for the Qing soldiers to get close and draw their swords, the momentum will inevitably be weaker, and after fifty steps, a blow will blow the sharp spirit of the Qing soldiers, and then hedge is just right.

As Liu Wenxiu roared, as soon as the gongs and drums in the formation were closed, Ke Shengjun immediately put away the Lu Mi gun and pulled out the matching knife.

"Kill!" Liu Wenxiu raised his sword and shouted, this fierce general of the Western Army, before the brave armies, the soldiers behind him shouted and cursed, shouting and killing, like a flood bursting the embankment, surging out.

On the other hand, on the side of the Qing soldiers, there were corpses left on the way forward, and unconsciously, the originally dense swords, shields, and spears in the front row had become so sparse.

A Qing army archer, who had just finished releasing an arrow, heard the shouts of the Ming army, looked up, and found that he had rushed to the front.

It's not that he rushed fast, but that most of the Qing soldiers in front of him who were originally in close combat were killed by guns.

The Qing soldiers were stunned for a while, they originally wanted to enter the battle closely, but now there were only a large group of archers left, and the Kesheng battalion rushed into them and slashed and slashed.

Of course, the Qing soldiers also had swords, but their quality could not be compared with the Kesheng battalion.

When Bolo saw this scene, his heart and gall were broken, he had to rely on more than 10,000 people to buy time for the army to reorganize its formation, but this moment was defeated and rolled back, and the formation he had just lined up was not disrupted by the rout.

"Order, cavalry to this king, strong attack on the enemy's front army!" Bolo's eyes were red, and he roared with all his might.

He can only use it now, and the cavalry is strong, so as not to rush into the front of the Ming army, catch the defeated army, and crash into his infantry formation.

But before the Qing soldiers around him could give the order in a hurry, the Ming army was beating up again, and the Ming cavalry who were hiding behind the left and right infantry formations rushed out again.

Seeing this, Bolo almost vomited blood.
