Although the Mongol cavalry fled, their attack still caused a lot of trouble for the artillery fire, at least when they rushed up, the shelling stopped. Taking advantage of the pause in the shelling, the Qing army reorganized its formation and continued to approach forward.

"After so many rounds of shelling, a lot of people have died, and they can still maintain the basic formation, and the building is really good. It's really a lot stronger than the Liukou. Zheng Sen stood on a command car (a high platform was added on top of the four-wheeled carriage for easy viewing), looking at the approaching Qing army, and said to Gu Jiang.

"Jianzhi is elite, and it lives up to its name. I don't know what we can do to ......," Gu Jiang nodded. He had seen naval battles with Zheng Sen before, but this was the first time he had experienced a big battle on land.

"In the middle of a big war, where are there so many ways." Zheng Sen said with a smile, "In fact, the basis of all methods is to be able to overcome the opponent head-on." If you can't do it head-on, you won't be able to use any tricks. Isn't it just a head-on confrontation? Others are afraid of Jianxin, but our model army is not afraid. ”

By this time, the Mongol cavalry had already run away, and the artillerymen had returned to their positions, but with such a delay, the artillerymen had to re-range and test fire the target.

"At this distance, the artillery should be on the shrapnel." Zheng Sen said to Gu Jiang, "I told you about the shrapnel yesterday, it is a battlefield weapon, but it is too expensive. ”

As he spoke, the artillery fired two grenades. And, perhaps because of the closer distance, both shells hit the target accurately. Hundreds of iron beads poured out of the two shells, but they knocked over more than two dozen Qing soldiers.

Duoduo watched from a distance, and when he saw these two cannons, his face changed again. After the Battle of Jinzhou, he heard rumors from people that the cannons of the "Dutch" could shoot shotguns hundreds of paces, and he also went to the battlefield to inspect the corpses of those killed by the kind of shotguns that could shoot hundreds of paces. Judging from the results of the two guns just now, the lethal effect of this kind of shell is far stronger than that of solid shells. If you let such shells cover a few more rounds, you don't want to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and the army may be directly destroyed by such shelling.

"Quick, herald charge!" Duoduo estimated the distance between the two sides, he knew that this distance was still a little farther away from the charge, the soldiers were wearing heavy armor, rushing to such a distance, I was afraid that the physical strength would be consumed, and then fighting with the other party, I am afraid that it would be more disadvantageous. However, Dodor knew that if he walked slowly at a normal pace, his team would have to endure several rounds of shelling. Each round of shelling would bring hundreds of casualties, and would completely disrupt the formation of the army and completely break the morale of the army. At that time, I am afraid that before hand-to-hand combat begins, the army will have collapsed. Besides, the enemy on the opposite side only has a bird gun with a short sword in his hand, and this thing is definitely inferior to the guy in the hands of the Manchurian warriors when it comes to hand-to-hand combat. So as long as you rush up, even if you suffer a little physical loss, you still have a chance to win. Besides, the guy on the other side is the Ming army, and the Ming army dares to compete with the Manchurian warriors?

In fact, it is precisely this illusion that the Ming army will be defeated as long as there is hand-to-hand combat, which supports the Eight Banners soldiers who are still in the military formation, who have endured artillery bombardment that they have never endured before, or even imagined, and suffered such heavy casualties just in the process of approaching the enemy. If there is no such thing, as long as they rush forward, the enemy will definitely collapse, but I am afraid that they will be crushed long ago.

At this moment, a trumpet sounding from behind commanding the charge. The soldiers raised their heads and looked ahead, they were still far from the enemy, and if they charged now, when they rushed forward, they would have no strength. However, since the horn sounded, everyone rushed honestly.

Almost at the same time that the Qing army launched a charge in advance, the artillery of the Model Army, which had completed the test firing, fired another volley, dozens of grenade shells, and fired tens of thousands of iron balls, just one cover, knocked down hundreds of people, and made a big gap in the ranks of the Qing army. The entire formation of the Qing army was in disarray.

However, at this time, the Qing army could no longer care about the formation. They already knew why they were still so far away, but they were asking themselves to charge. Because if you still maintain the speed just now, you won't have to fight with other people's infantry if you take a few more rounds of such shelling, and just such shelling will be enough to defeat them.

"Ning people, you see, the enemy army has been defeated." Zheng Sen pointed to the Qing army that was rushing over, and said to Gu Jiang.

"I don't understand." Gu Jiang said honestly.

"Ning Ren, those Jianren have heavy armor on their bodies, this kind of armor, Brother Ning Ren, you have also seen it, that thing is not light. If you let Brother Ning put on a set of that thing, and then run wild from such a distance, you say, do you still have the strength to cut people? Zheng Sen said with a smile.

"I'm just a scholar, although I can't say that I can't say that I can't be restrained, but I still can't compare with those builders, so naturally I can't." Gu Jiang shook his head and said, "But even if it's Jianxuan, it's still a human, not a monster, rushing over so far, even if it's Jianxuan, I'm afraid it's not comfortable." ”

"That's right." Zheng Sen nodded and said, "The junior brother has actually fought several battles with Jian Yan. If you want to say that Jianxuan can indeed fight, compared to Li Chuang, most of the officers and soldiers of my Ming Dynasty are still stronger. But it's not so strong that it's really 'invincible'. In fact, it is just that some people are incompetent themselves, and when they lose a battle, they exaggerate their enemies in order to reduce their guilt. As a result, there was a lot of blowing, everyone believed it, and when they saw Jianxuan, they didn't fight yet, so they were weak first. ”

"The ancients said, 'Those who serve the country cannot be robbed by the prestige', in fact, the same is true for leading troops to fight." Gu Jiang said, "Young Marshal, I suddenly discovered that the power of this cannon is not only how many enemies are killed, but also that it can force the enemy to attack us and force the enemy to consume their strength on the way." I don't know if it's right? ”

"That's right! It's just one thing missing: it can also disrupt the opponent's array. No matter whether it is a land battle or a sea battle, as long as the array is chaotic, it is a dead end. Zheng Sen nodded.

At this time, the Qing army had already rushed to a distance of only a hundred steps from the front line of the model army. However, because of the scattered formation caused by the shelling, and in the running, some people have good physical strength, and some people have poor physical strength, so the gap is naturally widened, only taking the front end of the Qing army's formation as an example, the closest to the front of the model army is only less than 100 steps, but some of the rear are still separated by another 140 or 50 steps.

The skirmishers in front of the "bang, bang......" array began to shoot freely. Those who rushed forward, wearing better-looking armor, were given priority, and they were hit by the bullets of the stragglers and fell to the ground. These soldiers were the most capable and brave of the Qing army, and if they were knocked down, it would greatly reduce the combat ability of the Qing army.

Although many people were defeated, the Qing army continued to approach, and the distance between the two sides soon narrowed to about fifty paces. Under normal circumstances, the Qing army would shoot the Ming army with bows and arrows at this distance, trying to disrupt their formation. However, because of the threat of the opponent's artillery, the Qing army did not dare to stop shooting arrows, and could only crash headlong. It's just that it can be seen that after running so far, their speed has dropped significantly.

At a distance of about thirty paces, the Model Army fired a volley. The Qing army, which was charging forward, suddenly felt like crashing into an invisible wall, and a large row fell down at once. Immediately after that, the soldiers of the Model Army in the second row fired a volley, and then the soldiers of the third platoon. After three volleys, all the soldiers loaded their bayonets and pounced on the Qing troops who were rushing towards them.
