The Ming army hit the car with one shot from three miles away, and the huge momentum caused this wooden frame behemoth to fall apart on the ground, and the fragments of wooden planks that burst out in all directions also injured many soldiers. Only then did the Qing army know that the Ming army not only had small artillery with a relatively short range, but also long-range artillery with a range comparable to the Hongyi cannon, and it was still so accurate. It seems that the reason why the Ming army did not use this kind of artillery in the previous attacks was that it was not necessary at all!

Ship of science and technology, science and intelligence, inspection of cold and cold ships

This incident dealt a considerable blow to the morale of the Qing army, and some traitors had already begun to hesitate. Sony understands that even if the Ming army has long-range artillery, how many can there be in such a small position? Moreover, the longer the range of the artillery, the slower it was to reload, and the real lethality of the Qing army was far less than that of small artillery and bird guns. Besides, if he is frightened back by the Ming army's cannon, where will he put his face?

Therefore, Sonny flew on his horse, personally led the Manchu cavalry who supervised the battle, and mercilessly attacked the Han army banner soldiers who fell at the end of the line, shooting with bows and arrows from afar, and cutting their heads directly with sabers. It's a good thing now, before the two armies have come into contact, dozens of people died on the Qing army's side, and all of them were killed by their own people.

The remaining traitors saw that there was no way to survive when they saw that they were retreating, so they had to bite the bullet and continue to charge forward. And the long-range artillery target of the Ming army is also very clear, that is, the car. Because this thing is big and slow, it is an excellent target for artillery, and the gunners of the Ming army calculated the amount of advance, set the aiming point on the road that the car must pass, and waited for the car to pass before firing the cannon. Therefore, there were almost no bullets, and in a short time, all six wagons in the east, south, and north directions were destroyed, and the Qing army's attempt to shoot at the Ming army under the cover of the chariots was dashed early.

But after all, the Qing army was a full-scale attack of tens of thousands of people, and although the chariot was destroyed, the tide of soldiers still quickly poured up, and soon reached a mile away from the Ming army's position, that is, three hundred paces. Each Qing soldier carried a bag of soil and soon built a wall of earth here. Then some of the soldiers returned to the camp and continued to carry the bags of earth, some of the soldiers began to dig in place, and the other part continued to charge forward to attract the attention of the Ming army. Not to mention, Sony's tactics were simple but effective, and the earthen wall quickly began to take shape, at least to block the lead bullets of the birds.

However, the Ming army naturally would not look at the Qing army's wall. As soon as the commander gave the order, the large and small artillery in the car formation raised their muzzles in unison, and finally began to launch the real skill of artillery: salvo fire.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The roar of the cannons shook the heavens and the earth, and dozens of shells roared out from the guns of the fire-breathing guns, smashing into the Qing military fortifications with lightning speed. Among these artillery, of course, there are Weiyuan guns with a range of more than three miles, but even rapid-fire guns with the closest range can easily hit targets within a range of 100 to 300 or 400 paces.

Moreover, this salvo was a concentrated bombardment, and the impact points of a dozen shells on each side were all within a radius of several zhang, and in an instant, a large gap was blasted into the earthen wall that the Qing army had worked so hard to build. The Qing troops hiding behind suffered heavy casualties, many of whom were not killed by shells, but were buried alive in the earth.

As for the Qing troops who shouted and charged forward, they were not eligible for artillery bombardment. When rushing to one hundred and fifty steps, the "feast" of the Ming army snipers began!

Due to the particularity of this combat mission, the Ming army was equipped with a very high proportion of snipers, with a total of only 3,000 combat troops, including 100 snipers, each of whom had a flintlock gun. It is very difficult to manufacture Suifa Lumi guns, and now only the Jingshi Military Factory can make them, and these 100 Lumi guns are almost all the belongings of the Beijing camp.

After the distant feud is not alone, it is secretly revealed by Yang Mo

With such a sophisticated configuration, it is impossible to be a vegetarian on the battlefield. These 100 snipers were not in the outer trenches, but shot in the vehicle formation with large vehicles as cover, and their own safety was fully guaranteed, and they had a high degree of superiority. They had a clear division of labor, with 30 men on each side of the east, south, and north, and the remaining 10 men retained as reserves. Each Sniper is only responsible for enemy forces within a three-foot radius directly in front of him/her, so he will not waste ammo by aiming at one person at a time.

The Qing army is also stupid, they all rush up in a straight line, and this kind of target is the easiest to aim. These snipers have undergone rigorous training, and they are almost without missing a shot, and with every crisp gunshot, a traitor is shot in the head or chest, and he falls to death without even saying a word. Although the reload time of the Lumi Gun is very long, even slower than that of rapid-fire guns, such a high hit rate still highlights its existence value on the battlefield.

When the Qing army rushed to within eighty paces, the infantry in the trenches began to shoot.

This time they no longer jumped out of the trenches, because the Qing army had too many troops, and there were many archers in it, charging and releasing arrows, although they were shooting indiscriminately, and most of them fell to the ground far from the trenches, but they were still more or less a threat to the Ming army.

But without going out of trenches, it was just impossible to use the "three-stage strike", and the firepower of the Ming army did not weaken in the slightest. Take a platoon as an example, the first squad is responsible for shooting, and the second and third squads are responsible for loading; Since the fighters in charge of shooting use the trenches as cover, it is much less laborious and easier to aim by placing the bird guns on the edge of the trenches and firing them than shooting on the march.

In fact, even the fighters of the reserve team joined the ranks of reloading, and one bird gunner was almost four or five bird guns to fight, and the reload time was shorter. Moreover, the Qing army again used a dense formation to charge, because it was a fully encircled encirclement, the further it rushed, the narrower the battlefield, and the denser the enemy. In this case, there was no need to aim at all, and the Ming army basically raised their guns and fired.

Forty or fifty paces before the trenches, the Qing army rushed up in a group, fell in a group, rushed up again, fell again, and in a short time the corpses were all over the field, and it was impossible to move forward at all. Sonny saw that the Ming army's firepower was too fierce, especially the bird's gun, and the guns were fired like a storm, and the Qing army suffered too many casualties, so he had to order a temporary retreat. However, this time he did not retreat to the main camp, but retreated behind the earthen wall that the Qing army had just erected, trying to take a breather and continue the attack.

The knot is not a single ship, and the hatred is promised by the yang art

But how could the Ming army give the enemy such a chance? Dozens of artillery pieces roared, round after round, raining red-hot shells near the earthen walls. The earthen wall can resist lead bullets, but how can the big iron ball falling from the sky in a parabola be prevented?

After another round of heavy shelling, the scarred earthen wall was finally overwhelmed, and suddenly collapsed a large section, opening a large opening more than ten zhang wide. At the same time, the Ming army leapt out of the trenches and launched a fierce charge towards the gap. Shells and lead bullets were whistling and flying, gunpowder smoke, blood and the stench of corpses filled the air, and the Ming army was full of firepower, killing the Qing army with a river of blood!
