"Lower, lower, reload!"

Fu Dahai was lying on the trench, still squinting, but his face was full of excitement. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The 21 Daming No. 1 guns made of copper-tin alloy began to slowly lower the muzzle under the command of Fu Dahai, and when Fu Dahai gave an order, the deputy gunner also began to prepare to load gunpowder.

Zhu Youxiao was also about to come out, and at the current distance, the Tartars had not been able to shoot their bows and arrows here with their strong arm strength.

However, the latest artillery developed by the Ming Dynasty can already cover the bombardment at this distance.

Zhu Youxiao really wanted to see what effect the Houjin Eight Banners with the galloping momentum of ten thousand horses had under the bombardment of dozens of artillery pieces.

However, like other generals, they were all a little worried, after all, this was the first time that they had used artillery to directly fight the Eight Banners Cavalry, which dominated the world.

Song Yingxing, an artillery shell development expert, Sun Yuanhua, the chief designer of artillery, and Tang Ruowang also followed Zhu Youxiao at this time, and their task was to observe the effect of the latest Ming artillery.

Before this, they only bombarded thousands of pigs or sheep, but now they bombard fierce tartars, and the psychological feeling alone is different.

"Sun Yuanhua, can this artillery work", Zhu Youxiao couldn't help asking.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, we have tried many times, and the Praetorian Guard has also practiced many times, if there is a problem, Your Majesty can immediately cut off the head of the minister."

Sun Yuanhua said that, but Zhu Youxiao didn't dare to cut off his head, the Ming Dynasty lacked scientific and technological talents, and now these people are national treasures, the Donglin Party scolded Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao can directly let Dongchang take people without saying a word, but if these people are disrespectful to Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao will also apply for a few words at most.

……

Dai Shan also saw the cannon port in front of him at this time, but he didn't think much about it, the artillery fire of the Ming army would be dumb fire many times, and even if there was no dumb fire, it was difficult to hit accurately.

Generally, as long as the cavalry rushed at a fast enough speed, the artillery could not react.

Moreover, now Dai Shan prefers to form a dense sprint formation, which can directly scare the guts of the artillery.

"Speed up, now the Ming army's artillery fire can't shoot us, Suke Shaha, as soon as we enter the range of artillery fire, we will shoot arrows immediately."

Dai Shan was talking here, and Fu Dahai waved his hand directly: "Put!" ”

After the squeaky burning sound, there were several loud bangs, and dozens of cannonballs were seen falling into the middle of the Tartars like scattered flowers of the heavenly maidens, and after exploding, the scene of the Tartars turning on their backs was clearly seen.

The huge wave of air caused Daizen to fall to the ground, and when he got up, another round of cannonballs came over.

Countless Tartars were blown up and covered in blood, and the horses died in a horrific death.

"Disperse quickly!" Dai Shan touched the burnt money rat tail, roared loudly, and couldn't help but secretly say: "When did this Ming army's artillery become so powerful." ”

At this time, the descendants did not dare to sprint intensively, so they scattered and continued to charge.

The Tartars were not afraid of death, but they were also cunning, and they kept using their skillful riding skills to switch positions, so that the damage caused by the long-range No. 1 gun was much reduced, but it was still able to bombard a small group of Tartars due to the ease of operation and increased flexibility.

However, Tomami also began to give an immediate order: "The first gun is back, and the second gun is used to strike freely." ”

Suddenly, the more flexible and lightweight No. 2 gun began to spray 0, and the Tartars did not expect that the more they stabbed inside, the greater the density of the Ming army's artillery fire.

However, the brave Tartars still approached the effective range of the bow and arrow after losing hundreds of Eight Banner soldiers, and if the artillery did not retreat in time, professional gunners would become a live target for these Eight Banners.

"The artillery battalion is back in camp, and the infantry battalion is ready to fight!"

At the sound of an order, Fu Dahai's artillery battalion immediately turned around and immediately retreated, while Chang Yanling led three infantry battalions to form three arc-shaped positions, waiting for the Tartars to approach.

The Tartars are good at shooting, and their strong arm strength makes the bow and arrow as powerful as the traditional rifled guns, which is one of the reasons why the Great Ming Firearms unit cannot take advantage of these Tartar cavalry.

The Eight Banners Tartars were very familiar with riding their horses and galloping, and at the same time, they directly drew their bows and arrows on the fast-moving horses, and in an instant, they were covered by a rain of arrows, but fortunately, the trenches of the infantry battalion in front were deep enough, and the chance of being hit by arrows in the trenches was far less than the chance of standing on flat ground.

And the Tartar pulls the bow and arrows very casually, basically spontaneous archery, so there is no way to form a large-scale kill.

The Janissary Infantry Battalion is different, Chang Yanling's first battalion is in the first trench at this time, and their movements are very consistent, and they are all completed under Chang Yanling's command.

"Raise your gun! Ammunition ready! ”

When the Tartar began to draw his bow and shoot long-range arrows, and from time to time favorable arrows came, Chang Yanling gave the first order.

The officers and men of the 1st Battalion of the Well-Trained Janissaries calmly and calmly followed the orders of the commander Chang Yanling to pick up the Apocalypse No. 1 flintlock pistol, then placed the paper shell bullet flat beside him, squinted and began to determine the target of the fire through the crosshair on the flintlock pistol.

"Aim!"

Chang Yanling dodged an arrow from the Tartar with a slight tilt of his head, and glanced at his officers and soldiers with slanted eyes, and saw that they were all ready, so he shouted: "Fight!" ”

Smack!

Suddenly, a sound like fried beans sounded, and white smoke from the burning of black powder drifted down the wind from the first position.

In this way, it was difficult for the Tartars to shoot at the target, but the infantry battalions could not continue to aim, and Chang Yanling had to order people to shoot directly without aiming.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sigh secretly, although he knew that smokeless gunpowder was better than black gunpowder, he never thought that the application of the two to the battlefield would bring such a big difference.

Fortunately, the intensive shooting also caused a lot of casualties to the Tartars, Dai Shan watched the countless Eight Banners cavalry beside him fall to the ground by the rapid bullets, and countless fierce horses fell to the ground in an instant, he was also very surprised and angry, he didn't expect that the fire gun in the hands of the Ming army could shoot so far, and it could also form a continuous fire strike.

"Rush over! Kill! ”

Dai Shan realized that the range of his Eight Banners' bows and arrows was not very good in front of this firearm, so he could only close the distance and disrupt the formation of this Ming army's firearms with a more powerful rain of arrows, and it was best to defeat them directly.

In the dense rain of bullets, these Tartars still approached the position of the Praetorian Guards step by step with their excellent riding skills, and because of the shortening of the distance, the power of the sharp arrows was obviously much more sufficient, and many Janissary soldiers were directly pierced through the necks by accident.

But fortunately, the Praetorian Guards were disciplined and did not lose because of the fall of one or two soldiers, and they were now listening to Chang Yanling's command to reload and shoot like machines.

The dense guns and bullets gave the Eight Banners cavalry a lot of damage, and many Eight Banners soldiers fell directly on the way.

Seeing this, Dai Shan felt that this was not the way, so he immediately ordered his Eight Banners to disperse in three ways, and he continued to stab inside with the Chinese army, while the left and right flanks of the two sides attacked from both sides, trying to flank and surround the first battalion of infantry.

Seeing this, Colonel Zhu You also hurriedly ordered the second and third battalions of the infantry to quickly move through the communication trenches to the left and right ring positions, and began to form a dense fire strike as soon as the two Tartars came.
