The two sides confronted each other, were evenly matched, and a big war was about to break out.

Seeing that the other party pressed forward and ordered the artillery battalion to return fire, Wang Zheng, who took the lead, naturally thought of this layer and said lightly:

"All departments are on standby, and you must not act rashly, Huang Yang, you take the Xuanwu battalion back to the front of the firearms battalion to ensure the safety of the ordnance, grain and grass in the rear!"

"Spread my will, let Ren Hu draw out thirty percent of the artillery, and don't fight anything else, and shoot at Zhang Xianzhong's artillery battalion to the death, and Ren Han immediately took the bird gun team to start shooting, and entertained these thieves in Daxi with good wine and food!"

Wang Zheng's order was given, and the dragoons who gave the order immediately divided two people and rushed to the left and right, and after a short time, the three phalanxes began to leave the Chinese army and move in the direction of the firearms battalion.

"Birds, prepare—"

Ren Han had been paying attention to the other party's movements, and when he turned around, he saw a dragoon in golden armor running towards him, and he knew that the time had come for him to go into battle, and that was to get the Bird Gun team ready.

After clarifying the will, Ren Han immediately ordered more than 2,000 people to come to the front of the battle.

These bird guns were divided into three columns, arranged in a neat three-stage strike formation, and flattened the bird guns in their hands, and the mouth of the black hole was facing the dense thieves who rushed over on the opposite mountain.

What many Onishi soldiers did not notice was that the preparation of these forbidden arms battalions was obviously different from that of any officer or soldier they had encountered before.

There was no lead on the bird gun in their hands, and they did not press the dragon head tightly with their hands, and the original complicated preparation work became extremely simple, most of the Onishi soldiers only rushed forward three or five steps, and the Qi army bird gun was a volley.

"Bang bang bang-"

The white smoke in front of the battle had just dissipated, and the deafening sound was still echoing in the ears, and the soldiers of the Great Western Army on the opposite side immediately fell in large pieces, and before they could react, the next round of salvo actually arrived again.

"Bang bang bang-"

Many people have heard of this kind of round-round salvo of three-stage strikes, but what is in the hands of the Qi army, even the former Ming official army did not fire such a fast firearm, is the opponent's bird gun movement so fast that they can't see clearly, or do they need no preparation at all?

In fact, in the boxes that were found from the homes of the two young masters Bi Maokang last time, in addition to a few large names of people, there were also countless drawings of firearms, one of which was the method of improving the firearms.

Wang Zheng first sent the spy department to find the people on the list one by one, planning to hire all of them into the firearms bureau.

If you are willing, everything is easy to say, the treatment is excellent, and when you meet those old stubborns, you are unwilling, Wang Zheng also spoke, even if you pull it hard, you have to bring it over on your shoulder.

After coming over, most of the people will succumb to Wang Zheng's obscenity, but there is always something else, and some old stubborn people are not afraid of power and death, and even think that Daqi is a thief and will not cooperate with you.

For this, Wang Zheng's method of dealing with this is also very simple, that is, to send people to "invite" their families to Beijing, coercion and temptation to try everything, anyway, there is only one purpose, that is, to force these people to do things for themselves.

Whether you are willing or reluctant, if you have that talent, why do you want to do things without doing things for me?

Therefore, now the arquebuses in the Qi army firearms battalion have eliminated the arquebuses of the former Ming Dynasty, and began to popularize the firecrackers researched by Bi Maokang, and with the assistance of some Western missionaries such as Jem, the existing firecrackers have been continuously improved.

Wang Zheng personally looked forward to this, and even wanted to build a brand-new Suifa musket by himself, and even called it 'rifle'.

In the past, the use of fire rope ignition had many disadvantages, in the event of stormy weather, the gunpowder in the fire door was either blown away by the wind or wet by the rain, so that it could not be launched, and even the strict orders of the Qi army often had the situation of premature misplacement without aiming well.

There are too many factors for the arquebus to be restricted by the environment, and Wang Zheng has been looking for improvement, but he suffers from the lack of talent.

Bi Maokang's atlas recorded a ramming flintlock pistol, after Wang Zheng got it, if he got the treasure, he immediately ordered someone to study the imitation, and after the school field inspection was correct, it was installed in the whole army.

The principle of this impact type trigger gun is that the faucet of the buckle plate machine is pressed down, and the fire is ignited by the friction with the flint due to the effect of the spring, which not only saves the complicated steps of loading and unloading the original arquebus, but also overcomes the difficulties caused by wind and rain to shooting.

The Qi army's musket did not need to be pressed by hand on the faucet, so that the aiming was more accurate, and the originally complicated preparation work was turned into an end gun aiming, which could be fired at any time.

This new type of flintlock pistol is equipped with a flint automatic ignition device, which is not afraid of wind and rain and does not need to be ignited by the fire rope beforehand, and the firing speed and accuracy are greatly improved.

The ranks of the Great Western Army were now under constant attack by the Qi army's firearms, and the commotion had not stopped, and looking at the Qi army lined up hundreds of paces away, everyone felt unprecedented oppression.

The soldiers in the three rows in front of each phalanx, all of whom were wearing heavy armor, even wore masks on their faces, and were the strongest soldiers in the whole army with a simple sword in one hand and a large shield in the other.

This heavy armor is not the same as the armor of the Eight Banners Army, and the craftsmen of Daqi originally felt that the Eight Banners Army had strong protection and wanted to directly take the heavy armor of the Qing captives outside the Guan.

However, after a short period of installation, it was found that even the strongest soldiers were overwhelmed after wearing it for a long time, so they were forced to give up and redeveloped a decent heavy armor, named 'Qi Wu Armor'.

This so-called Qi Wu armor is the heavy armor mass-produced by the Great Qi Ordnance Bureau, which is used to charge head-on with the opponent to protect the body of the warrior, and the whole body is glowing with a unique luster, which is extremely spectacular from a distance.

The people who rushed to the front were also veterans of Daxizhong, and naturally knew how difficult it was to prepare such a set of armor from head to toe, and they followed the Eight Kings to the north and south, and now some of them are just wearing a full set of iron armor of the former Ming official army.

This is already very rare in Onishi, and many people are reluctant to take it off when they wear it, and they continue to show it off everywhere every day.

Looking back again, compared with the other party, his body looks too shabby.

Even some officers in the Great Western Army are afraid that the armor and equipment on their bodies are not as good as the ordinary soldiers of the Qi army charging into battle, not to mention that there are many axe and spearmen wearing full-body armor behind them.

The soldiers of the Qi army just stood there motionless, and the oppression caused to the other party was incomparable, this psychological oppression was the most terrifying, coupled with the opponent's overwhelming advantage of firearms, many of the soldiers of Onishi had tended to collapse.

The soldiers are all shining full sets of armor, the swords and guns in their hands are glowing with cold light, and between their gestures, they all show that Daqi crushed Zhang Xianzhong's so-called Daxi in all aspects, symbolizing the strong strength of the rise of a Daqi Empire.

Several cavalrymen in yellow armor ran through the front, as if they were shouting something, but the soldiers of the Great Western Army couldn't hear clearly, they only knew that the military formation on the other side, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly moved.

The Qi army was at the front, and more than a dozen phalanxes, under the leadership of the officers who pressed the formation, shouted that the Great Qi would win, and marched with neat steps, rumbling towards the Great Western Army.
