During the fourth round of arrow rain, the Qing army approached to one hundred and fifty paces.

At this distance, the lethality of the bow and arrow is fully reflected. If the arrows are like locusts, the bow is strong and heavy, and the archers of the Qing army are all good archers under the selected banner.

Compared with bows and arrows, the eastern and northern captives are both good at their own special skills, and no one loses to the other.

Among this kind of fishing and hunting people, hunting is indeed their survival skill, so although it is a lie to say that the horse and archery are invincible, in terms of bows and arrows, in terms of the Eight Banners at that time, it did have its proud level.

The rain of arrows kept falling, and in the formation of the Pingyu army, there were constantly people falling from arrows.

At this distance, the penetration of the arrows also became large enough, the casualties in the Pingyu army formation began to increase, more and more casualties, the arrows in the array almost flooded the open space, and everywhere, there were dense feathered arrows and arrows, some of which were inserted into people, most of them were inserted in shields, and in the open space, the entire battlefield seemed to suddenly have more densely grown reeds, but this reed was watered with blood.

Under such circumstances, the military formation in the front row of the Pingyu Army was inevitably somewhat chaotic. The paramedics rushed back and forth to carry the wounded soldiers to the rear for treatment, sometimes shouting for the medics, sometimes screaming loudly, and some sleeping on the ground, letting out low moans.

All the wounded were treated as soon as possible, with emergency bandages, and then applied herbs to stop bleeding after cleaning the wounds, so as to prevent the occurrence of sepsis to the greatest extent, and the subsequent treatment was not as good as the first response on the battlefield.

The emphasis on medical care of the Pingyu Army has definitely surpassed that of any army in this era.

The killing and wounding on the battlefield is always limited, and a large number of wounded soldiers died after the war due to inflammation and sepsis caused by wound infection.

Of course, there were some medical officers in the Ming army, but qualified medical care and detailed and useful regulations never existed, and at this level, the Pingyu army also had an epoch-making development.

At least, at such times, it is a great boost to the morale of the whole army to see that the wounded fellows are being cared for with the utmost care, after all, no one knows that the next arrow will hit someone else or themselves!

Under the blow of the rain of arrows, the firecrackers were still fighting back unrelentingly, and after each round of fire, the number of casualties of the Qing army on the opposite side did not decrease at all.

Charge, fire, clearing, recharge, fire, clearing.

Cycle.

Good training has made these firecrackers unintentional, and they are still concentrating on firing according to the standards of the tutorial, and while the damage on their own side increases, the strength of the counterattack is still not weak at all.

The brutal counter-shooting pressure on the Qing army shooters has also doubled!

It was just a long distance, and now it is gradually approaching about 100 paces.

As he continued to draw the bow, his arm gradually became sore, and all the shooters knew that the speed of the next bow had to be slowed down.

If you come down again, your arms will tremble, your head will not be as good as you start, and the killing of the Ming army will not be strengthened by the closer distance.

At this time, it was the best time to kill with bows and arrows, but the Ming army on the opposite side was only slightly unstable, but there was no sign of rout and escape.

The experience of winning all battles in the past has been overturned again today!

This level of dense salvo fire, such a level of scattered killing of arrows, was simply unbearable for the previous Ming army. Often the beginning of the Qing army's infantry shooting is that the Ming army's position is unstable, and the whole formation will become very chaotic, and then you can use heavy armor pikemen to charge the formation.

However, today's Ming army is exceptionally strong, and the equipment is obviously several times better than the previous Ming army. There are not many shields but they are strong and long, covering many musketeers, and there are even fewer shields in the center, but the armor of the infantry is all serious iron armor, strong and thick, and the arrows fall on people, it is difficult to cause damage that makes people lose their combat power.

By now, the balance of this confrontation has been tilted in the direction of the Ming army, and as soon as the Ming army on the opposite side finished charging, it stood in a straight row, and the muzzle of the black hole seemed to be facing itself, and then the barrel of the gun fired, and a little smoke came out of the muzzle, and then the projectile was fired towards this side.

Each time, these firecrackers would reap dozens of lives, and dozens more would be severely or lightly injured, and everyone would fall to the ground, bleeding and moaning loudly, and unlike the other side, these wounded people would not be paid attention to for the time being, and they could only be left to roll and struggle.

The big one may survive until after the war, but the Qing army is no longer a small tribe in the corner of Liaodong, and many years of fighting have made these Qing army banners and auxiliary soldiers very clear, and these injuries in front of them are not able to survive the next few days.

The wound became inflamed, festered, then had a high fever, became delirious, and finally died in great pain.

Gunshot wounds were like that, and at the time there was almost no way to solve them, only to depend on the individual's physique and luck.

It may be better to be treated in time, but it will not solve the real problem.

The more you know, the more you fear.

"How's it going, my lord, isn't it time to charge?"

"The hand in the back, can you do it?"

"The artillery battalion asks for instructions again, is it time to open fire?"

After the sound of each row of firecrackers, Zhang Quanbin's ears buzzed for a while, and at this time, it seemed that the entire battlefield was silent, and he couldn't hear even a sound.

Many people pay attention to whether the officers and men of the new army will be nervous when they go into battle, but they have never thought that as the officers and officers of the first battalion who lead a battalion with the standard command, although they have experienced the battle formation, they are the generals, and the tension in their hearts is only high compared to the soldiers.

But the more this is the case, Zhang Quanbin's heart is also clear at this time.

In any case, self-inflicted things cannot be done.

Of the three battalion officers, Jin Qianli is the oldest, but in terms of comprehensive measurement of command strength, he is below Cao Qing and Zhang Quanbin.

And Jin Qianli did not add a standard, but only the identity of a battalion officer.

Zhang Quanbin and Cao Qing are the standard commanders, and now that the battle is fought, it is inevitable that they will be promoted to the co-unification in the future. The two battalion officers have the same qualifications and extremely high command level, but at this time, Cao Qing consciously gave up the power of central command to Zhang Quanbin.

First, Cao Qing's qualifications are slightly weaker, and second, Zhang Quanbin's surname is Gwen and elegant, and he has the style of a general, and all the soldiers of the third battalion are uniform.

Cao Qing is surnamed Lie Ruhuo, and his command style does not fit the overall situation, and is only suitable for the troops he brought out. Eighty percent of his battalion is his own old foundation, and only some troops such as the firecrackers are selected from the outside battalion.

This kind of self-confidence is far inferior to the battalion officers at the head of other battalions.

In this way, Zhang Quanbin is responsible for the overall situation, and this responsibility is not given by Zhu Cihong and Qingjiang Xingying, but the spontaneous decision of the soldiers.

After all, the Pingyu Army is too special, it is not something that Sun Chuanting can understand and command, at this level, it can be regarded as the soldiers of the third battalion and the soldiers of the car and artillery battalion themselves playing a small trick on Lord Taibao.

Otherwise, you have to invite Sun Chuanting to decide on big and small matters, and that would be really fatal.

At this time, the news came one after another, and Zhang Quanbin was naturally very nervous. However, his raised right hand has never been put down, whether it is a cannon, or an assault, or the use of the secret weapon in the battalion, it is not yet time!

………… The Ming army's position was basically stable, but the Qing generals on the opposite side became more and more anxious.

The balance of victory and defeat in this row of guns against bows and arrows is tilting towards the side of the Pingyu army!

After a round of arrow rain, the muzzle of the gun was raised again, and the muzzle of the black hole seemed to be pointed at him, ready to shoot a deadly projectile at any time.

In the few breaths of aiming and waiting, all the Qing archers were pale and stiff, and even if they had time to shoot their bows and arrows, they were too nervous to draw their bows.

This kind of fighting, which is less than 100 steps apart, if there is a way of shooting and killing the opposite side with a gun raised on the opposite side, for a cold-weapon army, the test of nerves is too huge, even if it is an elite of the Qing army, it is difficult to resist such mental pressure.

"Can't wait any longer!"

Bolo was in control of the battlefield, and he knew the situation in front of him. He himself was about 400 paces away, and all the elite soldiers dismounted, and the horses were tended by the attendants, while the heavily armored soldiers stood in line, ready to charge.

Originally, it was supposed to wait a little longer, wait for the archers to shoot the enemy line and disrupt it, and then charge by the main force, but in the current situation, if the shooting continues, I am afraid that all the elite archers under its command will be lost in this battle.

In fact, the casualties of the Qing army have been on the edge of the range of acceptance of the shooters, so far, the shooters have fired seven rounds quickly, and the strength consumption is extremely great, and they can only shoot slowly, slow fire two rounds, and the fire guns on the opposite side are also two rows over, and the speed and lethality are still the same as when the Qing army shot arrows in the first round.

As a result, the confidence of the Qing army's archer group was completely lost, and there were dead and wounded brothers everywhere, and the casualties were extremely heavy.

If you continue to fight like this, you will fill in people's lives in vain.

Up to now, the casualty ratio of the Qing army and the Ming army is one to three, and the casualties of the Pingyu army are less concerned about the cover of heavy armor and shields, and the casualties of the Qing army are heavy, because the Pingyu gunners are well-trained, and under the rain of arrows, they can still maintain the fastest rate of shooting speed and accuracy, and if they continue to fight like this, they will definitely fight to one to five, one to ten, or even higher casualty ratio.

Although the Qing army still insists on firing at the same time, if it goes on, it will definitely be ten times more miserable than the one in front of it.

Therefore, shooting is already useless, Bolo waved his right hand, and he has already decided to call the main force to charge!
