The failure of this counterattack dealt a big blow to Liu Zeqing's troops, and the soldiers who were originally taken with them also fled a lot, but the family members could barely hold on, but they were all as white as dirt. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info only Li Huajing said: "Don't panic, the enemy army will only have two cannons!" It will take time to load the shells after the shelling is finished! ”

Liu Zhiyu listened and hurriedly said: "What Brother Whale said is true! The only way to do this now is to bring the brothers with you immediately, take advantage of the gap between the enemy's cannons, and kill the generals! ”

"You guys go grab a few people and let them go out first!" Zheng Longfang also hurriedly said to a few family members next to him. The men immediately turned around and drove away the other soldiers. Zheng Longfang turned to the others and said, "Now that the cannons are being fired on the city, we are here, and it is a dead end." Now I can't take care of a lot, let's take all the brothers who can fight together, and kill them together, whether it succeeds or not, just this guy, how about it? ”

"That's what Lao Zheng said! That's it, I see! Liu Zhiyu hurriedly shouted.

At this time, the people at the head of the city also seemed to notice the situation here, and several cannons were replaced with solid shells, and more than a dozen people were knocked down.

A few family members drove a group of soldiers out of the camp gate, and then, as expected, they were shelled.

"Okay, this is the time, brothers, rush!" Li Huajing pulled out his knife and shouted, regardless of the formation, he rushed forward with dozens of his subordinates. Liu Zhiyu and Zheng Longfang also followed behind with people.

The three of them rushed straight over with hundreds of family members, and sure enough, the enemy on the opposite side really didn't have time to fire the artillery that had just fired. The family members didn't care about straightening out the formation and rushed out. Li Huajing felt that when he got out of the camp gate and crossed the trench, he would then form a team, so that even if the enemy's artillery could fire again, because the team had become a horizontal team, it would not be able to kill a few people.

Li Huajing rushed out of the camp gate and the trench with the soldiers, and he saw that not far away, the soldiers on the opposite side were lined up in a simple and thin horizontal formation, and those soldiers were all armed with muskets, and there was no other kind of arms such as swords and shields, or spears.

"They don't know how to fight at all, we can definitely defeat them!" Li Huajing thought so. In this era, there is a saying that soldiers are expensive and miscellaneous. In other words, different classes must cooperate with each other to get the best results. Just like Qi Jiguang's mandarin duck array, each squad has eleven people, and there are six types of troops: long cards, rattan cards, wolf wits, spears, boring palladium, and muskets. Qi Jiguang is handsome, and with this formation, whether it is against the Japanese or the Northern Kou, he has achieved great success. And now, the team in front of him completely violates this principle, they are all musketeers, of course, the musket is very powerful, but the speed of shooting is too slow, against the enemy rushing over, you can also fire one round of fire will enter hand-to-hand combat, and in hand-to-hand combat, muskets are useless.

Li Huajing suppressed the speed a little and shouted, "Slow down, line up!" He slowed down and began to form a group, and now he had rushed out of the camp gate, and the enemy artillery on the opposite side could not kill a few people, even if they could shoot. And now there are still about 100 steps away from the enemy, and in the case of wearing armor, if the distance of 100 steps is directly rushed, the family members will also be out of breath, which will naturally affect their combat effectiveness.

The family members slowly stopped and began to form a formation, and then hundreds of family members, with the long card player in front, and the others with bows and arrows, waist knives, and spears, followed behind, slowly approaching forward.

In order to maintain the queue, in fact, the housekeepers are not fast when they are close to their opponents. According to the general practice in the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers had to stop and reorganize their formation every ten steps or so, which was to keep the formation tight, and in fact, to try to lure the opponent to open fire at a greater distance.

All the soldiers knew that if they were at close range, for example, when they were about forty paces apart, the bird gun would be so accurate and powerful that no long card, rattan card, or armor could stop it. However, if you can lure your opponent to fire at a distance of about 100 paces, the accuracy of the bullets they shoot will drop significantly, and the bullets they shoot will not necessarily penetrate the big shield in the hands of the long player. In addition, untrained musketeers, once fired, often fired uncontrollably, and then their vision was completely obscured by the smoke, and they could not see anything, which further increased their panic, and they would keep firing until the barrels were red. Unbeknownst to them, their opponents were simply out of their range. At the beginning, when my Ming army faced the Eight Banners, it often made such mistakes. As a result, in the panicked shooting, the barrel of the gun was red, and the ammunition and physical strength were consumed, and then he was defeated by Jian Yan, who rushed up at this time, like chopping melons and vegetables.

Now, Li Huajing also wants to test whether he can attract opponents to fire from outside range.

The men approached slowly, and when they were a hundred paces away, their opponents did not move, not even raising their muskets.

"Damn, these guys are kind of weird." Li Huajing frowned. But at this time, the arrow is on the line, but it has to be sent. Liu Zeqing's family continued to approach until they reached a distance of about eighty paces.

"Archer throw!" Li Huajing ordered.

The archers of the Ming army always liked to use light arrows, and compared to the heavy arrows that the Jianzhi were accustomed to using at a distance of ten or twenty paces, light arrows could shoot farther, and could even shoot a hundred paces away when throwing. In the face of some opponents who are not in good armor and have limited organization (such as the rogue a few years ago), long-distance throws can not only bring certain casualties to the opponent, but also sometimes disrupt the opponent's formation, and even cause the opponent to collapse without a fight.

However, the projectile of light arrows was hardly a threat to the Zheng family's musketeers. They all have helmets, and they all wear light half-body plate armor on their bodies, and they also have a layer of chain mail on their arms, of course, the legs are a weak point, but it is difficult for a light arrow thrown to hit the legs, and even if they do, it is difficult to cause much damage. So the musketeers stood silent, completely oblivious to the rain of arrows thrown by their opponents.

"Bows and arrows are useless!" Zheng Longfang, who was a little behind, shook his head, "You still have to rely on hand-to-hand combat to solve the problem." ”

The archers stopped shooting, and they all drew their swords and slowly continued to approach after the long card, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer. In a blink of an eye, the distance had reached about seventy paces. At this time, the two cannons on the opposite side rang out again, this time using shotguns. This time, one guy knocked down more than 20 family members.

If it is an ordinary soldier, such a blow may make them collapse, but after all, the family is a family member, and the will to fight is far beyond the ordinary soldiers, although their queue is a little shaken, but under the command of several generals, the shaking array quickly became strict again, some archers who were originally in the back row, built the long cards full of holes in the hands of the long card players who were killed, and continued to approach the position of the model army at an unhurried speed.

The distance between the two sides was only about sixty paces. Li Huajing saw the guy on the other side raise his gun. He knew that at this distance, the bird gun already had a certain accuracy of hitting, and the bullet fired had a certain chance to penetrate the long card. But taking a round at this distance is actually not a big deal.

A puff of white smoke suddenly rose from the opposite side, and then Li Huajing heard the long cards of the long players in front of him sound like a snap, like a torrential rain hitting the lotus leaves, and then he was surprised to see that in the entire first row, almost all the long players were knocked to the ground. At such a distance, the opponent's shot achieved such a high hit rate, and the power of their bird's gun was so amazing.

"Don't panic, don't panic, they don't have time for a second shot!" Li Huajing shouted. to appease the family members who are starting to panic.

"Don't pick up long cards! Keep going, they don't have time for a second shot! Liu Zhiyu also shouted.

The men continued to move on, but their speed increased significantly.

If there was a normal Ming army on the other side, then they should withdraw the musketeers to the back, let the rattan soldiers come to the front, and then the spears or something. On the other side, however, there were only muskets. All the surviving family members were as confident as their generals that their victory was in hand.

The musketeers on the opposite side were still in thin formations, and instead of retreating, they began to reload their ammunition in place. Li Huajing knew that it took a lot of time to load the bullets, and people would be deformed due to nervousness on the battlefield, and their loading speed would further decrease. He had never seen anyone reload in the sixty paces their team had covered the distance.

The family continued to approach, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, fifty steps, forty steps, thirty steps, twenty steps! Li Huajing could already see the fingers of the other guys clearly, and the musketeers on the other side seemed to be still reloading with their heads down, as if they didn't exist at all.

"Ready...... Rush! Li Huajing shouted, now the distance is only about fifteen steps, and this distance is the best distance to launch an attack. The servants shouted and rushed forward, brandishing their swords and spears, and at this time, the musketeers on the opposite side also raised their muskets in their hands. Then there was a burst of firecrackers like many families setting off together during the Chinese New Year......
