Just like the Battle of Zhenjiang, the cavalry of the Qing army took out their cavalry bows after launching a charge. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 This is no more true when it comes to infantry, especially in less constrained terrain.

However, just like in that battle, the cavalry of the Qing army was the first to be shot by the infantry of the Ming army, but unlike the infantry bow used by the Ming army in Fujian, the battle battalions of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have canceled the configuration and training of this weapon, and the guns of all colors are only divided into Lumi guns and turtledove foot guns.

The fire cracked, and the lead bullets swept densely towards the Qing cavalry. The guns needed to be reloaded, so they didn't intend to reload in front of the formation, and these Ming shooters immediately returned to the hollow phalanx after the shooting, revealing the long spears like a forest.

Six teams of Qing cavalry, two of which were in the hands of Ibai, while the other four were further divided into eight cavalry teams and rushed in the direction of the eight bureaus of the Ming army on the periphery. Among them, the Mongol white flag was divided into the Shikubu and the cavalry that rushed to the guard camp.

Batu, Mongolian means strong, as his name suggests, he is also a Mongolian man with a strong personality. As a veteran of the Mongolian White Banner for many years, he has participated in many battles and has a lot of experience. Even in the round of shooting just now, he didn't have much fear.

From time to time, some people around him fell off their horses, and many war horses lost control due to pain after being shot, causing a certain degree of chaos. And every cavalryman who fell off his horse, very few of them could continue to live, either being shot by the fire gun, or being trampled to death by the follow-up war horses after falling off the horse. But they couldn't even see the flight trajectory of the projectile, and they didn't have a chance to flash and move like an arrow with their martial arts, and more people chose to pray secretly, but he didn't do that, just rode his horse and rushed towards the battle formation of the Ming army.

The Ming army's shooting was completed, and Batu clearly saw that the musketeers withdrew into the battle formation without reloading. Unlike those recruits who had never seen the world, he knew that this was normal, but the scene he saw next still shocked him.

The firearms team retreated into the hollow phalanx, and the spearmen of the Ming army held the barrel of the gun with both hands, stepped on the tail end under their feet, and pointed the head of the gun obliquely, and the whole battle formation immediately turned into a frightened hedgehog. Although the posture was a bit strange, it was extremely normal, and it was inevitable to face the cavalry pikemen covering the formation, but the bright light reflected by the iron armor in the sunlight almost blinded his eyes.

The spearmen of the Ming army in front of him were not like the firecrackers just now, who only wore half-body armor without sleeves, with a helmet, all heavy armor, iron boots, iron gloves, iron helmets, and even an iron mask armor with a ghost pattern, which can be said to be armed to the teeth.

The opponent in front of him was no longer just a forest of spears, but like a jungle of steel, which made Batu's heart jump in horror.

Entering the distance, subconsciously bent the bow and arrows, and the arrows shot out from the galloping warhorse, his riding and archery are famous in the Niu Lu, and the hundred steps through the Yang are just like the backhand viewing pattern. But when the arrow flew out, he saw very clearly that after the arrow hit the chest of the Ming army's armor soldier, it flew out cleanly.

"Damn, this armor leaf must be thicker than mine, and it's impossible to shoot through it with a bow."

Rao is like this, he is still the same as other cavalrymen, in the process of this charge, he did not let go of a second, and seized all the time to shoot a rain of arrows at the battle formation of the Ming army. It's just that this burst of arrows falling, but it is not as good as the rain falling and can still stir up some splashes, which has no effect at all in front of the iron armor of the Ming army.

The war horse galloped wildly and shot this arrow, Batu didn't look at the shooting result anymore, and wholeheartedly controlled the war horse to turn not far in front of the Ming army.

Riding is a necessary survival skill for every Mongolian man, although he is the Eight Banners Army, but he is also a Mongolian, such as the innate riding skills make him easily control the crotch of the war horse to complete the turning action, to avoid the tragedy of directly hitting the spear forest. But at this moment, the familiar sound of firearms sounded again.

There was a burst of "bang", the smoke rose from behind the spear forest, and almost at the same time, the cavalry of the Qing army was another group of people neighing and screaming.

After the gunner's shooting, he had to immediately switch places with the robe of the latter team, and then immediately began to load, and the shooting results were not allowed to be observed, because Chen Wen, who wrote this drill code, thought that the loading speed was slow, there were many steps, and it was more complicated, and it was too much time for the gunners to spend their already tight time observing the shooting results.

According to the drill code, after Huang Chengming finished shooting, he immediately collected and turned around like other robes, and the firecrackers in the latter army stepped forward with firecrackers in their hands, and completed the alternation one after the other.

As a result of the shooting, he saw it before turning around, and the sturdy Mongolian cavalry he was aiming at was shot through the head, and red and white flew all over the sky. It's just that everyone shoots together, and he doesn't know if it's the result of his shot. No way, this kind of firearm shooting feels like luck, and I have had this feeling since I was trained in Jiangxi.

The medicine bag is ordered, and it is loaded step by step, almost without even using the brain, and it is a purely mechanical action. After more than half a year of repetitive training, everything seemed to be smooth, and Huang Chengming quickly completed the loading, but after the shooting just now, the Qing cavalry of the brigade had already moved in from the front of the formation, and all that was left for them was the tail of this cavalry.

"The main army retreats, and the second army steps forward!"

The veteran army with the turtledove foot gun is called the main army, and the new recruits with the Lu Mi gun are called the second army, and the rotation is carried out again, Huang Chengming stepped forward again with the Lu Mi gun in his hand, raised the fire gun to aim, and only waited for that order to pull the trigger of the fire gun in his hand like other robes.

There was another "bang" of shooting, but it was already far away from Batuu. At the moment when the Ming army was in front of the formation, gunshots rang out, and most of the people who were shot fell in response.

The cavalry of the Qing army continued to sweep in front of the forest of spears. When Batu looked back, the battle formation of the Ming army was still the same, and the sporadic dead and wounded were quickly replaced, but the Qing army left a lot of corpses and wounded in front of the battle, and those war horses that had lost their owners were still calling in vain.

The first round of attack was very ineffective, and in front of the heavy armor of the Ming army, the power of the cavalry bow was too small, and it was difficult to cause damage if it was not enough to break the armor. On the contrary, it was the Ming army's firearms, although the frequency of shooting was not high, but the power was amazing, the distance was close, and even the hits were more impressive than normal shooting. So much so that the Ming army left hundreds of Qing soldiers dead after paying extremely limited casualties.

The cavalry of the Qing army moved in, and the wounded in front of the battle were quickly repaired by the long card players of the Ming army. With such an exchange, the Qing army is afraid that they will cower when they come twice.

"Master, the armor of this Ming army is too thick."

Except for the closest round of shooting, it is basically difficult to cause damage if it is far away, especially the Ming army's uniformly wearing face armor, and even those sharpshooters who wear Yang in a hundred steps feel very uncomfortable. But after paying such a price, the battle formation of the Ming army did not waver in the slightest, and it was obviously a fool's dream to break the formation.

Yibai looked back at Yue Le's direction, and had to shout loudly: "Rush again!" ”

The conch horn sounded again, and the eight Qing cavalry teams that had just thought of the Ming army's attack rushed to the Ming army's battle formation again......

In the face of heavy infantry, light cavalry has an advantage, but now the light cavalry of the Qing army is not only facing heavy infantry, but a mixed phalanx of heavy infantry and light infantry, and the advantage immediately becomes a disadvantage. Moreover, the arms of the Ming army have obviously surpassed the Qing army, and the two sides did not stand on the same level to fight, so their invincible tactics are no longer as effective as they were back then.

The weapons and equipment of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Ming armies and some of the tactics used, Yue Le either went through the mouth of the horse or obtained them from the other Eight Banners and Green Battalion soldiers, not ignorance, but it was not as detailed as what he saw with his own eyes today. Therefore, from the very beginning, while the cavalry attacked, the infantry of the Manchu and Han Eight Banners led by him was slowly advancing - hand-to-hand combat seemed inevitable, so it was all the more necessary to harass with cavalry, so that the infantry could not be bombarded by artillery fire and enter hand-to-hand combat more completely.

The infantry of the Eight Banners of the Manchurian and Han Dynasty slowly moved forward, the Eight Banners of Manchuria were the main force of hand-to-hand combat, and the musketeers of the Eight Banners of the Han Army also advanced with the team, only the artillery could not keep up with the queue, and could only grind behind -- those auxiliaries who were divided into the past to help push the artillery carts were also from the market in Hangzhou, and they had never been trained, and the closer they got to the Ming army, the more dangerous it became, so they naturally became even slower and slower. If it weren't for the whips and sharp blades of the Eight Banners Army, I am afraid that I might not even be able to move.

The infantry of the Qing army was still marching in formation, and the second round of cavalry shooting was over. This time, the losses were even greater than the last time, and although there were more casualties, it was still so unacceptable at all, even more difficult to accept than just now.

The cavalry of the Qing army had withdrawn to Ibai's main position, and the cavalry attacking the Dongyang battalion and the front battalion on the left and right flanks had also retreated beyond the range of the Ming army.

It is well known that the rate of fire of the cavalry bow must be due to the firearms, but there is also a certain distance between the front row of the Ming army and the firearms team, and the cavalry of the Qing army goes to shoot at the firearms through the spear forest of the Ming army, which is impossible to succeed. But after a few more rounds, it is estimated that the cavalry of the Qing army will really be frightened.

The cavalry had already informed him of the Ming army's arrangement, and there was a loophole in it, but he never dared to confirm it. There is no way, it is just an ordinary Ming army general, Chen Wen has repeatedly defeated strong enemies, often winning more with less, this time it is roughly equal to the strength of the Qing army, and there will be flaws, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a trap clearly placed there waiting for him to jump.

This is not yet confirmed, but his first task is to cover the Manchuria and the Han Army's Eight Banners smoothly into hand-to-hand combat, especially the need to try to avoid the Ming army's ricocheting shots, which is the experience of the southeast warp standard who fled back to Jiangning in exchange for blood!

"Again, this time the old man personally led the team, and he had to buy time for the prince."

This time, the cavalry that had just made the assault did not dispatch, but Yibai took the two thousand cavalry he personally led to pounce on the guards and the second battalion of Shentang in front of the Ming army. The Qing infantry attacked these two battalions, and the Ming army on the flank could completely use cavalry to lead the battle.

Getting closer and closer to the Ming army, Ibai had already seen the weapons and equipment of the Ming army clearly. Previously, Guan Xiao's troops were defeated in Zhenjiang, and when Ma Guozhu's messenger came to ask for help, he mentioned that the core elite of the Fujian Ming army was a hoplite armed with a sword and heavy armor.

Such an elite, even with Zheng Chenggong's financial resources, is only satisfied with two or three thousand people. Logically speaking, the generals' tactics are self-cherished, Fujian is like this, Zhejiang should not have it at all, but this Ming army has it, and there are more. As far as the eye can see, the pikemen and long-card players in the front row are the same, and even the firearms team in the back is all half-armoured.

Could it be that these Qing soldiers were all craftsmen?

Otherwise, where did so much armor come from, it wouldn't be a rain of armor in Zhejiang!

Ibai's cavalry was still charging, and as a high-ranking officer of the Eight Banners, he didn't need to take such a risk. But in today's situation, the Manchu rule in Jiangnan is in jeopardy. If the Han people are allowed to turn the tables, then these Han Jialang, who have a deep hatred of blood, will never care about any masters and slaves, as long as they are full of people, they will definitely be a dead end, and there is no other possibility at all!

The cavalry was getting closer and closer to the battle formation of the Ming army, and suddenly, a banging sound came from the sudden smoke of gunpowder from the opposite side, and his crotch shook, only to see that the good horse snatched from the Tushetu Khan of the Khalkha Mongols fell to the ground, and this inertia threw him out.

Wearing the royal armor, but this fall still shocked his mouth with fishy sweetness. The horses around him continued to charge, led by the other officers, while his Goshha rolled over and dismounted, guarding his side, until he had recovered his strength before he helped him onto the other horse.

After this round of cavalry shooting, it was still the same as the previous two times, but Yibai's purpose had been achieved, and the infantry battle array led by Yue Le avoided bearing the ricochet shots of the Ming army with the help of the cover of the cavalry, and crossed the row of sporadic standing there, but the wooden stakes that had not even interfered with the Qing cavalry before, rushed up with a shout.

The collision of the infantry battle array was about to begin, and the cavalry of the Qing army had already given way to the road, temporarily accumulating their horsepower and rushing towards the two wings. On the one hand, it threatens the flanks of these two battalions of the Ming army, and on the other hand, it is to contain the two battalions of the Ming army arranged in the east and west of the town, so that the Qing infantry who enter hand-to-hand combat needs to face a lot less Ming troops. But at this moment, a huge cannon sound sounded in the Ming army array in the distance. Its goal is self-evident, it should be the infantry battle array of the Qing army!
