Chapter 359: Hard Hit

"Bang-"

With the order of the firearms battalion commander Quan Zhuo, the first column of bird-gunners who had finished the formation took the lead in shooting hate-filled lead bullets, which rushed out of the guns and shot straight past.

Almost at the next moment, the shouts of many people in the charging Qing Army's Red Banner Lancers stopped abruptly, and then the people fell to the ground on their backs, and a very small part of them were hit by the iron helmets and died on the spot.

But must the lucky ones who survive?

Although they were wearing thick heavy armor of the Eight Banners, although they were not seriously injured by the huge inertia of lead bullets, they were still inevitably taken off their horses, and behind them were the Qing cavalry who were also charging.

Azig was indifferent despite his red eyes, and like him, the cavalry behind him could not slow down their horses for the sake of these fallen horses, most of them avoided them, and gritted their teeth and trampled them over if they couldn't avoid them.

Howling, Accidents, Hatred......

Just like the soldiers and soldiers of the Shandong Army who faced 5,000 Qing cavalry rushing towards them in the battle formation not long ago, these Qing soldiers endured the continuous blows and artillery blows, and the casualties became heavier and heavier, and their hearts were gradually filled with all kinds of emotions, but they had no fear or hesitation.

In their hearts, although these Ming troops in front of them looked quite different, not to mention the neat clothes and armor, and even the firearms were so sharp, but what could this be.

The Qing army's horse armor is not a horse soldier who can be put on a horse to fight by the Ming army casually wearing tattered armor, each of them is killed step by step from the infantry armor, and after so many years of fighting, although most of them are safe and sound, but hard stubble always has to meet some.

There used to be such a cavalry that could fight head-on with the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry without losing the wind, and the general cannon at the head of Beijing was also very powerful, and no equipment could defend it, but for so many years, no army had ever been able to defeat the Eight Banners in the field.

Not to mention the battle between cavalry and foot soldiers in front of him, with the inferiority of the Ming army, no matter how many people come, it is difficult to make the proud Eight Banners people have any fear!

However, when they were about to rush to the front of the formation, the horses that were originally in the head of the Red Flag and Eight Banners suddenly turned sideways, and dispersed towards the surroundings, rushing out from behind those cavalry wearing bright white iron armor.

These people are actually the Bayala soldiers led by Azig himself.

It turned out that Azig sensed a hint of threat from the firearms of this Ming army, and in order to have a surprise effect, he secretly passed an order in the formation to destroy the defense line that the Ming army relied on to resist with the sharp knife of Bayala Battalion, just as they usually did!

"Reject the horse!"

The soldiers in the front row, who had already been prepared, immediately moved the rejection horse a few steps away, Wang Zheng narrowed his eyes, quietly waiting for the best opportunity, and suddenly shouted again:

"Raise your gun!!"

The grassroots officers of each battalion were shocked, and immediately shouted orders continuously, followed by a row of axes and guns shining with cold light in front of them, and steel guns were like a forest.

As the other side was already close at hand, the soldiers were breathing more and more heavily, trying to stay shoulder to shoulder, huddle together, and use the advantage of numbers to resist the impact.

Azig led the Bayala elite soldiers and the axe gunners of the Shandong army in the first row of axes and gunners collided violently, and in an instant, short limbs flew sideways, and the shouts of killing from both sides immediately converged, even enough to spread for miles away.

A Baya soldier was even rejecting the horse with his horse, and he was struggling hard, waving the tiger-headed sword in his hand at a Shandong soldier.

But the next moment, the sound of fire thundered out, and a big hole was blasted open in his chest, and there was no sound on his body, and his eyes quickly lost their former brilliance.

Although there was nothing wrong with the surrounding Baya soldiers, the horses under their crotches were frightened, and they had never seen such a huge fire bolt at all, so they just turned uncontrollably and fled frantically to both sides.

Azig brandished a big knife in front of the battle, and by now he had hacked three Ming soldiers to death, and he thought that the other party would be very frightened and scatter and flee, but until now, no one has taken half a step back, and he has a feeling of powerlessness.

The Qing soldiers were all riding horses, and they should have used their mobility to rush back and forth, but the opponent was too numerous, and the formation defense was not leaky, as if he had long known that Azig was going to order to break away, and after sticking to it, not only did he not escape, but he rushed up to fight.

Hand-to-hand combat with the opponent on a horse is obviously not as efficient as standing on the ground, and the opponent's weapon is very strange, able to stab and swing, and several times Azig dodged the seemingly stab, but was almost scraped by the small axe that was understated.

"Prince Ying, the Ming army is encircling!"

Suddenly, the red flag is all in charge? roared anxiously, his face was stained with the blood of unknown people, and the situation was very urgent.

"Withdraw, the whole team rushes again!"

This is already a common rushing routine of the Qing army, most of the Ming army can be solved by a charge, this very few can not work, that back and forth rush is enough.

Although the Qing army is a heavy armor, but the horses are excellent, the mobility ability is comparable to the Mongolian light cavalry, and there are some in the Ming army that can resist a round, but there is no soldier or horse at all can block the two or three rounds of the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry.

The Shandong army was already trying its best to stick to the other party, but the Qing army was not a thief horse team after all, and after throwing down hundreds of corpses, they quickly dispersed, and retreated fifty paces away from the battle to regroup.

After a slight pause, the entire cavalry team had completely dispersed, and many Shandong soldiers in the formation had not yet reacted, but the next round of Qing soldiers charged like a storm and slapped on the line.

The soldiers in front of the battle were suddenly knocked away, and when they saw that they were about to die, the soldiers behind saw this, put down some shocked thoughts, and hurriedly raised their axes and guns to fill the position.

At this time, Wang Zheng's face was solemn after all, the Qing army was really not so easy to deal with, this was still an ambush of 5,000 cavalry, if tens of thousands of people came, I was afraid that the whole army would be wiped out into the Shandong army.

However, the Qing soldiers are not easy to deal with, but the Shandong army is not the kind of soft persimmon that Wang Pu is afraid of war and death, thinking of this, Wang Zheng nodded at Huang Yang behind him, it's time.

Huang Yang trotted back, followed by a sudden cannon sound from behind.

As if it was some signal, not long after the cannon sounded, a row of black shadows appeared again in the distant villages and towns, and these black shadows did not move slowly, and soon rushed to the rear of the Qing army.

These black shadows rumbled into smoke and dust, and Azig turned around to look at it, followed by his eyes widening, how could he forget the fleeing Ming army horse team!
