Four bronze cannons, dragged by war horses to the two flanks of the Wei Wu army's defensive line, two on each side, formed crossfire, giving heavy blows to the advancing Qing army, disrupting their formation.

In the Qing army's large array, Man Dahai once again showed a stunned expression, his brows furrowed, "This cannon can actually be pulled away?" ”

After the twenty cannons were pulled from the back of the hill to the top of the slope, the Qing army noticed that at first they did not see the process of transportation, but now they can see it one by one.

The artillery technology of the Qing army is actually not bad, but they are better at casting heavy artillery of several thousand catties, rather than small cannons in the field.

For the Qing army, they felt that they were invincible in the field, so they naturally did not have much desire to develop field artillery, but focused on the Hongyi cannon, a siege weapon, to make up for the lack of siege capabilities of the Qing army, specifically to deal with the Ming Dynasty's fortified cities.

Wei Wujun was different, because of the lack of field capabilities, so it needed to work field artillery.

War catalyzes technological progress, and different forces, according to their different needs and genes, gradually develop in a certain direction and form an advantage.

Some time ago, after the Qing army saw Gao Yihuan's improved earth-shaking thunder, they began to imitate it, and used it on Li Zicheng's body, and it has already seen results.

After the Qing army mastered this sharp weapon, they didn't take Gao Yihuan in their eyes, but they didn't expect that as soon as they made the earth-shattering thunder, Gao Yihuan came up with a new trick.

Man Dahai saw Wei Wujun's bronze cannon, firing from time to time, and the iron bullets smashed in front of the marching Qing army's array, digging out dirt pits one after another, splashing up mud and snow, and several columns of Qing army gunners were directly pierced by the cannonballs, and their faces became even more gloomy.

He had already realized that it might not be useful to attack Gao Yihuan's artillery array, and he had to defeat Gao Yihuan's army.

Because the artillery of the Wei Wu army was mobile and flexible, not as cumbersome as the red-coated cannons, they could completely transfer when they saw the Qing army break through the defensive line. In this way, the Qing army may fight in vain if it takes the mountain, but if the goal is to defeat Gao Yihuan's men and horses, then the situation will be different.

Although he was aware of this, Man Dahai did not stop the attack.

At this time, the Qing army's large array was still under shelling, and in order to defeat Gao Yihuan, you must first find Gao Yihuan's flaws and see the ability of Wei Wujun.

At this time, Zu Kefa, who commanded the infantry of the Qing army, couldn't help but shrink his head in the face of the shells smashed from the two wings of the Wei Wu army's front, and he was also very surprised by the mobility of the Wei army's artillery.

The four guns, in the roar, the cannon body fell back sharply, the muzzle of the cannon spewed flames, and then a cloud of white smoke rose. After the first shot, several gunners immediately stood up and began the next round of reloading.

The shells weighing three catties, cross-firing, a dozen diagonal lines, pierced the Qing army's columns, and the Qing army's formation exploded from time to time with clumps of dirt, and a scream came from the array, making the Qing soldiers' hearts beat faster.

Under the bombardment of artillery shells, there were already many gaps in the front line of the Qing army, and the queue was no longer in a straight line.

In the sound of artillery, the Qing army was a little panicked, some people walked fast, some people walked slowly, and the front began to twist, like an earthworm.

"General, the enemy is nearly one hundred and fifty paces!" A small colonel in charge of observation pointed to the slowly approaching Qing army and reported urgently.

Bai Wenxuan looked at it, "The first line of defense is ordered, and the firearms team is ready to fire!" ”

At this time, a horn sounded at the top of the mountain, and the officer behind the obstacle such as rejecting the horse suddenly shouted, "Light the fire, raise the gun!" ”

At the same time, the sentry commander of each firearms flag team shouted an order, instructing his subordinates to light the firerope and ordering the first row of gunners to raise the firearms.

For a while, only the sound of a flint stone was heard on the front line, and then I saw that one after another firecrackers were lifted, and nearly a thousand firecrackers were aimed at the Qing army's infantry that pressed up, and all the firecrackers were in one line, and the scene was very spectacular.

At this time, the Qing army had already entered about seventy paces, and the Wei Wu soldiers raised their guns in unison, waiting for the order to shoot, but the horn still did not sound.

Suddenly, on the opposite side of the Qing army front like a dog gnawing, several guns broke out, raising a few clouds of white gunsmoke, and then the sound of guns seemed to be infected, and in the Qing army front moving forward, countless fires flashed in an instant, and the sound of "crackling" sounded into a piece.

The front row of soldiers of the Wei army line immediately fell forward, and more than a dozen people were hit, and there was a burst of screams.

At this time, several soldiers with a white cloth tied to their arms immediately stepped forward with stretchers and carried away the wounded soldiers who fell to the ground and wailed.

The firecrackers in the back row swallowed a mouthful of saliva, consciously stepped forward to fill the vacant position, and then raised the firecrackers and aimed at the Qing army.

The Qing army front was filled with gunsmoke, but the advancing Qing soldiers quickly walked out of the gunpowder smoke and continued to move forward.

Zu Kefa just asked the soldiers around him to deliberately let go of a shot, wanting to lead Wei Wujun to fire and let them knock out the loaded guns, but he didn't want Wei Wujun to not fire, but under the bombardment of artillery, the somewhat nervous Qing troops went off one after another and let go of a gun.

At this time, the front line was already sixty paces close to the Wei army, and the advancing Qing soldiers could already see a row of black guns raised by the Wei Wu soldiers.

Under the bombardment of artillery, I saw the Wei Wu army guns that were ready to be fired, and the Qing troops in the front row felt tremendous pressure.

Everyone knows that once Wei Wujun fires, the Qing soldiers in the front row will be harvested for their lives.

This made many Qing army gunners have the meaning of putting a gun first, and then stopping to load the bullet.

At this time, Zu Kefa and the commanders and generals of the Qing army began to shout and curse loudly, forbidding the soldiers to release their guns, and after asking to get closer, they shot three rows of dense guns in a row, crushing and disrupting the line of the Wei Wu army, so that the Qing army behind had the opportunity to quickly break the formation.

However, the green battalion soldiers who have changed in these border towns are obviously not as powerful as Zu Kefa imagined, and the situation of going off is still inevitable.

Under tremendous pressure, the Qing army continued to advance, and from time to time a cloud of white smoke rose from the front line, and finally the Qing army's advance was at a stop, forty paces away.

For a moment, the Yaque on the field was silent, and the Qing army and the Wei Wujun who gathered forty steps together all held their breath.

At this distance, both sides can see each other's figures clearly, Wei Wujun raised the gun in a straight line, and the mouth of the black hole pointed at the Qing army, and the Qing army also raised the fire gun on the other side, but there were many figures among them, hurriedly filled, and some people even wanted to escape.

At this time, Bai Wenxuan, who was on the top of the hillside, finally waved his hand without hesitation and shouted angrily, "Let's go!" ”

Almost at the same time, Zu Kefa also hurriedly ordered, "Let's go!" ”

In an instant, both sides fired at the same time, and in the sound of "bang bang bang", the flames of the fire guns on both sides were as brilliant as the stars, like a galaxy~
