The sound of the firing of the firebolt and the skimming of the feather arrows sounded almost simultaneously.

In order to ensure the accuracy and power of the strike, the firearm was deliberately shortened to a limited strike range. In order to suppress the terrifying long-range firepower of the Ming army at the first time, the Qing army on the opposite side chose to extend the range of the bow and arrow.

It's a test for shooters on both sides!

According to the original cognition of the Qing army, the firearms of the Ming army almost could hardly hold their minds steadily, on the battlefield, often as soon as they saw the Qing army began to charge into battle, the firearms of the Ming army began to be used in a disorderly manner, often outside the firing range, or not the best strike distance, the Ming army's firearms and artillery were cast aimlessly, so that when the Qing army really approached, these Ming troops were often still busy reloading the sub-drug, such a level of firearms was the result of negligence in training. On the battlefield, it is also a big joke to expect soldiers who usually do not fire a few shots to be calm and calm and aim at the target.

Firearms are weak, coupled with the fact that they dare not fight hand-to-hand, neglect of training, insufficient military salaries, and lack of discipline, so when the Ming army and the Qing army are fighting in the field, there are few undefeated people, and there are few who are not defeated by the Qing army with a square formation!

In fact, the victory of the Qing army was based on the dismount and foot battle, and the defeat of the Ming army was not the so-called invincibility of Manchurian cavalry, but the defeat of all aspects!

There are no flukes, no chances, only gaps in all aspects!

And the Pingyu army in front of him is definitely not what the Qing army knew in the past!

to four hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred and sixty steps...... Almost at the same time, arrows flew and firebolts rang out!

Nearly 100 Qing troops in the first row were hit in the first round of volleys, just like the wheat that was harvested and lodged in the middle of summer, and they fell down in unison in front of the neat platoon of guns of the Pingyu army.

Thirty percent of them died on the spot, and there were quite a few seriously injured wounded, who fell to the ground, letting out a faint moan, and the blood was pouring out of their cotton robes, and some people's whole faces were beaten to shreds, and only where they were originally nostrils were faintly spitting bloody bubbles.

At the same time, thirty or forty people fell in the array of the Pingyu army.

In addition, a small number of sword players, halberdiers, and spearmen are equipped with heavy armor all over their bodies, and on the side of the firecrackers are sword players holding shields, and at the moment when the enemy shoots arrows, all sword players hold their shields high, forming a small shield on the side of the fire gunners.

The rain of arrows fell, first with a clanging sound, and then with the muffled sound of arrows entering a person's body.

The Heavy Flame Shooters were lying on the ground to shoot, and many arrows fell beside them, plunging straight into the ground, and half of the arrows were not in the ground.

If you're unlucky, the arrows will break through the shield defenses and land on the shoulders, waists, legs, and other weakly protected areas of these musketeers.

The triangular arrow has a good bloodletting function, if it is inserted in a thick place of iron armor, the injury will not be too serious, and if it is shot in a weak place, the injured person will lose too much blood and be seriously injured.

The first wave of arrows rained down on most of the firecrackers on the two wings of each row, so the casualties in the firecrackers formation were really not light.

The spearmen and spearmen in the middle, most of the arrows that fell on them were directly dodged, and the spearmen in the first row also had shields, which covered most of the arrows, and there were also a small number of shots that hit the body, but the thick, well-made iron armor played a good protective role, and the arrows were only shallow into the flesh, causing only very weak damage to the heavily armored soldiers.

In the interval between the second round of arrow rain, the gunners were also nervously loading the sub-medicine, and the whole battlefield was filled with the sound of gun-chambering.

Before the approach of the heavily armored enemy, there is no need to adopt the method of segmented attack or reciprocating cycle, and more than 300 musketeers use the method of platoon guns to force the enemy, which is more powerful and can also give the enemy the greatest damage in a dense formation.

Amid the rattling of the chambers of the guns, there was also the buzzing of spearmen and halberdiers.

To be honest, before going to the battlefield this morning, many people slept very badly, their dreams were restless, and many people felt panicked.

This sentiment, of course, is understandable.

After all, this is a new army, and no amount of brutal training can be worth an actual battlefield.

But by this time, having seen what a brutal battle was, and seeing the enemy's casualties and the outstanding performance of the artillery battalion and the gunners brothers, the hearts of every heavy halberd and spearman were filled with a mood of restlessness and eagerness.

This is the psychology of a truly strong army after 100 trainings!

When I saw my companions killing the enemy, I was eager to try! When he saw his companions fall from arrows, he was furious rather than frightened.

When you see what the flag is pointing at, you are subconsciously moving forward and moving forward. Instead of thinking about it, only thinking about how to escape.

This army is worthy of Zhu Cihong's collection of countless heroic children in Huaishang, smashing countless silver and materials, and it is a strong army across the times that he personally trained and painstakingly built every day!

In other words, the equipment of this army still has one foot in the old era, or the remnants of the Ming army, even if the firecrackers are made of better materials, more elaborate, and many Europeans are used to improve and improve, but the changes in weapons are only a small half, and the real big changes, such as the universal installation of flintlock pistols, the use of bayonets, the loading of paper shell bullets, and more cannons, etc.

At that time, the army will be a purely firearms force, just as the Spanish and Swiss phalanxes have been gradually eliminated in history.

Now, it's still early.

But the weapons have not been updated, and many things have been forcibly instilled by Zhu Cihong, a latecomer.

The staff system, which did not yet exist in Prussia, was already taking shape in the army of the Prussians. The battalion officers of the three battalions have their own staff officers, and each standard has a staff officer standard, and the staff officers have formed a unique system, which has emerged in the Pingyu army and is playing an increasingly important role.

Military supplies, logistics, baggage, military law, official document and file system, etc., many things had to be formed in Europe two hundred years later, but at this time they were used by Zhu Cihong first.

Such an army already has the soul of a modern army, coupled with the means of brutal training, and all reactions are already many times stronger than the Ming army.

All this is still an unknowable and incomprehensible fact for the Qing army, and even for the rest of the friendly troops, they have not yet understood that the three battalions of the Pingyu army in front of them are by no means comparable to the new army in their impressions.

The second round of arrows followed, and many of the guns loaded with gunpowder fell with arrows.

After all, the speed of the bow and arrow is faster than that of the firebolt, and now these archers have only shot two arrows, and the second arrow is a little forward, and the power is greater, and many places where the shield cannot be defended, the firecrackers are more seriously injured.

"My lord, Lord Taibao has issued an order, and we must stabilize our position, we must not retreat before the arrival of the Chinese army, otherwise, the military law is invisible, and the officers of the three battalions will be severely punished, Lord Taibao said, as long as you stand up for a few moments without defeat, the Chinese army will catch up, and after this battle, you will give a few generals a great credit......"

"Alright, no more talk!"

Zhang Quanbin, who has always been gentle and elegant, like a humble gentleman, was furious when he heard this, and his face was full of humiliated expressions.

Around him, all the generals stared at the captain who delivered the letter, as if they wanted to take out their anger at this guy.

This small colonel was sweating profusely, and there was an emergency communication channel in the position of the Pingyu Army, and many things that were inconvenient to communicate with the flag language were communicated by the battalions.

At the same time, the drum rumbled, and the Gao Jie department on the left flank intensified the attack on the opposite Han army, thousands of armor soldiers marched forward in unison in the neat drums, the banner was waved in the military formation, and all the heavy armored soldiers marched forward shoulder to shoulder, and the Qing army and the Han army on the opposite side were defeated and retreated, although the pace was not fast, and the formation was not very complete, but after all, it was pressing the Qing army and the Han military camp to fight.

If they hold on any longer, the cavalry and infantry battalions on the right flank will drive away the Mongols, and they will be able to meet in the middle.

At this time, Sun Chuanting did not continue to strengthen the right wing, but sent the Chinese army in the reserve to the center, and the meaning of this is self-evident.

"This ......"

The situation in front of him made the Chinese army's order unclear, so looking at Zhang Quanbin and the generals around him, he was speechless for a while.

"Lord Shangfu Taibao." Zhang Quanbin said coldly: "The Pingyu army has no idea of standing and being beaten, please rest assured that before the arrival of the Chinese army, our army will be able to repel the enemy in front of you!" ”

"What?"

The lieutenant's eyes widened, and he looked at the officer of the Pingyu Army in front of him as if he had seen a madman.

"That's it, please go back!"

Seeing that the Chinese army ordered to turn around and leave, a sneer appeared at the corner of Zhang Quanbin's mouth, but at this moment, it was Cao Qing on the right who sent someone over, and after making a military salute, he asked directly: "General Cao, please General Zhang and General Jin to show me, do you want to notify the car artillery battalion now?" ”

"No, it's not time yet!"

Zhang Quanbin shook his head categorically and said to the messenger: "Tell Cao Qing, tell him not to panic, he can't hold his breath now, isn't it too tender?" If he is afraid, tell him to go behind the battle and hide. ”

Cao Qing's surname is as fierce as fire, and the style of leading soldiers is the same. Listening to Zhang Quanbin's words, the man's face turned red, but the other party was Shangguan, but it was not easy to say anything, he just glanced at Zhang Quanbin coldly, raised his chin again, and replied loudly: "Please rest assured, the whole department has decided to meet the enemy with a white blade!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Quanbin didn't care about the other party's attitude at all, only nodded fiercely, and said loudly: "If you don't have the determination to assault with a white blade, you are not worthy of being a general of the Pingyu Army, and you are not even worthy of his mother's soldiers, tell Cao Madman, see who is in the forefront between him and Lao Tzu!" ”
