The soldiers of Aliha Chaoha were blown up by this mine, and they were also blown up.

Before the battle, the area of the antler array was blocked by the banner of the Ming army, but I didn't expect to lay a large number of mines, coupled with the fierce shelling at the rejection of the horse gun just now, Aliha Chao Hazhangjing can finally be sure that this flaw in the Ming army's position is not a real flaw, but a trap deliberately arranged.

If he had known that there were these traps, Aliha Chao Hazhangjing would definitely choose other tactics, but there was no turning back from the bow, and since he had already rushed halfway, he could only fight to the end.

When gamblers first enter the casino, they are very cautious, and when they lose a little money, they will think about withdrawing away, but if they lose to the point of breaking their muscles and bones, they will go up with a stud, and they will resign themselves to fate whether they are dead or alive.

Keep rushing!

The antlers blocking the road had been blown open by mines, and there was only the last line of rejection rifles left in front of them, and now the retreat was in vain, Aliha Chao Hazhangjing gave the order without hesitation, and the whole army continued to charge forward.

The Ming army had already responded, and hundreds of musketeers and archers appeared behind the repulsive rifles.

On the left are three hundred archers, they are all the elite of the archers of the Chu army, all of them are strong, holding hard bows, in order to fight against the elite of the Eight Banners who are good at riding and archery, they all deliberately put on two layers of armor to resist the bows and arrows of the Eight Banners.

On the right were two hundred bird-gunned soldiers, whose range was closer than that of bows and arrows, so they stood closer to the repulsor, and in order to be able to retreat in time, they were only covered with a layer of cotton armor.

In the center were three hundred Portuguese musketeers, their flintlock pistols glittering with a metallic sheen in the bright sun.

These Portuguese came to China from thousands of miles to make a fortune in the mysterious Orient, and for these outlaws, the most trusted companion was the flintlock pistol in their hands. They love guns even more than women, so they are all very good musketeers.

Three hundred Portuguese musketeers lined up in a rectangular phalanx, three rows in front and back, one hundred people in each row, and in the left front of the phalanx there was a commander with a saber in his hand giving orders, and their formation was so close that that Aliha Chao Hazhangjing could not understand it at all, and his heart was very strange.

When fighting in Liaodong, the Ming army except for artillery. All kinds of firecrackers are often used, and there are also a lot of firecrackers in Tianyou Soldier and Wuzhen Chaoha, so this Aliha Chaohacha Zhangjing is also very familiar with the tactics of firecrackers, and the formation of these three hundred firecrackers on the opposite side is too close, which obviously violates basic common sense.

Whether it's a bird or a three-eyed gun. They were all arquebuses that needed to be activated by open flames, and the musketeers had powder bags hanging from their bodies. Flammable materials such as primer bags and spare fire ropes. Just like a cannon that can be ignited at any time, if you get too close to each other, it will be easy to hit the flammable materials on your companions after shooting, so in order to ensure safety, the musketeers must leave a distance of several steps between them. Arrange the formation as loosely as possible.

The formation was loose and the natural firepower was thin, so the cavalry was never afraid of the musketeers, even if the hundreds of musketeers of the Ming army hid behind the repulsive rifles. Aliha Chao Hazhangjing also launched a charge without hesitation.

It didn't take long to lift this repulsive rifle, and the musketeers didn't even have time to fire the second shot, and when the cavalry rushed up, the opponent's musketeers naturally collapsed...... However, the three hundred firecrackers on the opposite side were so close to each other, which made Ali Hachao Ha Zhangjing faintly feel uneasy.

In normal times, he would have disdained the firecrackers in such a formation, and only waited for them to open fire and then messed up their positions, but today's battle was very awkward, and there have been two accidents, and it is obvious that the Ming army has made careful preparations before the battle and will not make any low-level mistakes.

Well, that's another trap!

Almost instinctively and intuitively, Aliha Chaohazhangjing sensed the danger, although he didn't know where the danger came from, but he subconsciously suppressed the speed of the charge, and the five hundred Aliha Chaoha soldiers had already lost forty percent, and if they were hit hard again, even if they rushed to the artillery position, they would have no destructive power.

Aliha's soldiers were well-trained, and the commander only gave a slight signal, and they adjusted in the high-speed charge, and there were only thirty or so sharp soldiers left in front of the attack, and the rest of the cavalry fell slightly, and while riding forward, they felt out their bows and arrows and prepared to cover their companions.

The Qing army's top soldiers did not slow down, and in the blink of an eye they were only forty or fifty paces away from the second line of repulsion rifles, a distance that could be reached by only one breath, and they all stood on the stirrups, ready to jump off their horses and rush towards the repulsion rifles.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The firecrackers on the opposite side suddenly opened fire, and the muzzle of the gun flashed out flames and black smoke, but Alihachao Hazhangjing's heart suddenly relaxed. The Ming army's musketeers stood thirty paces behind the rejecting rifles, seventy paces away from the Qing army's top soldiers, and the lead bullets were not accurate at this distance, and even if they hit the target, the lethality was not great, and the Ming army opened fire obviously prematurely.

"It turned out to be a group of straw bales...... this thought just flashed in his heart, but he was surprised to see several Qing army soldiers with a violent shock, obviously injured, and even one person fell off his horse, it seemed that he was hit by the vital point and died directly.

How so?

He rushed forward in spite of the danger, trying to see the musketeers on the opposite side more clearly, and a distance of seventy paces could wound the armored cavalry, which was even more powerful than the powerful foot bow!

Also, the musketeers of the Ming army were so close together, why didn't there be the expected chaos? He couldn't see clearly when he was too far away, but he already faintly felt that the Ming army's firearms were a little different.

At this time, the Ming army's musketeers opened fire again.

Three-stage shot!

In this era, the bird guns and flintlock pistols were front-loading smoothbore guns, and the loading procedure was very cumbersome, even if it was a well-trained elite soldier, they could only shoot two or three shots at most in a minute, so in order to maintain the continuity of firepower, the tactic of three-stage shooting appeared very early.

Three hundred Portuguese musketeers were divided into three rows, firing in turns, continuously reloading, and a hundred flintlock muskets were always firing, and from the moment the Qing cavalry entered the firing range, they began to fire continuously.

Every time the Portuguese commander swung his saber, a hundred soldiers fired, and the platoon gun could cause a certain barrage effect, and the lethality was far greater than that of free fire. After six consecutive platoons of gunfire, the front of the Portuguese musketeers was already full of smoke and had to temporarily stop firing.

But they also have a secret weapon!

Holding the flintlock pistol in one hand, the Portuguese musketeers pulled out a large fan from behind their backs, and the fan kept fanning and fanning. (To be continued......)
