Looking at the hastily formed thin queue of the Ming army in front of him, Turai sneered, urged the war horse, and led the team to crash into it without slowing down. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In this case, you only need to rely on the powerful impact force to hit the formation of the Ming army, and the rest is a massacre!

Two hundred heavily armored cavalry galloped at the front, that was the Eight Banners of the Chosen Dead Soldiers, everyone was wearing two layers of armor, even the chest of the war horse was hung with vest, not afraid of the Ming army's bow and arrows.

The musketeers on both sides were loaded with gunpowder, the arquebuses were attached to the fire door, and the muzzles of the black holes were pointed forward. In the face of the incoming enemy cavalry, they had only one chance to shoot. Looking at the huge enemy cavalry galloping towards him, each musketeer's face turned pale, and he subconsciously wanted to pull the trigger, but the soldiers of the Pacification Division stood behind him with whips in their eyes, and the punishment they received for the soldiers who shot without receiving orders last time was still fresh in their minds. Therefore, one by one, they endured the fear in their hearts, and no one dared to open fire without authorization.

The distance is a hundred paces, and although this distance is within the range of the musket, the projectile fired has no power at all, that is, the shot is almost like tickling.

Sha Qianli was ordered to command the musketeers, observing the incoming Qing cavalry with a fearless face, while silently calculating the distance between the two sides in his heart.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, although the musket had a range of more than 100 paces, its effective range was less than 50 paces. At that time, the bullets were all spherical lead bullets, this kind of bullet was not like the long bullets of later generations, after the chamber was fired, the air resistance was very large, and the speed disappeared quickly, within twenty steps was enough to penetrate three layers of armor, and then the kinetic energy disappeared sharply with the change of distance, and when flying to fifty steps, even a layer of armor could not penetrate it.

Therefore, in order to really give full play to the power of the musket, it is necessary to put the enemy army close to fight, which is also the valuable experience obtained by the Daishan musketeers in many battles.

The distance between the two sides is fifty steps! The Qing cavalry galloped and carried the wind blowing in their faces, and many Daishan soldiers turned pale and their legs couldn't stop shaking. Those who have never experienced this kind of battle can never imagine the powerful shock of thousands of horses galloping towards them.

The distance between the two sides is only thirty paces! Many Daishan musketeers had their fingers stiffly hooked on the trigger, and their minds were blank, waiting for the commander's shooting instructions.

"Why didn't the musketeers shoot!" Seeing that the cavalry of the Qing army was almost about to pounce in front of him, even Li Yanzhi couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart.

The cavalry of the Qing army was only twenty paces away from their own! All the soldiers of the Daishan Army could already see the hideous and ugly faces of the enemy clearly, "Shoot!" With Sha Qianli's order, the two heralds behind him beat the war drums that represented the shooting.

The order to shoot finally came, and many musketeers hesitated for a moment, for fear that they had misheard the command to shoot.

"Bang bang ......" continuous gunshots rang out, bursts of white smoke filled the front of the Daishan army formation, the Qing cavalry that was galloping was a shock, a large number of war horses running in front were instantly killed by muskets, lost the power to move forward, but the strong inertia made them run forward for more than ten steps, "poof, poof" fell in front of the Daishan army one after another, splashing the sky full of dust.

A musket projectile within twenty paces is enough to break through any sturdy piece of armor, and it can be described as extremely powerful.

The so-called shooting man first shoots the horse, compared with the huge body of the war horse and the cavalry attached to the horse, almost all the musketeers choose the target of the attack as the former, the high-speed galloping war horse suddenly falls, and the cavalry on horseback will definitely not fall well, even if it does not fall to death on the spot, it will definitely lose its combat effectiveness.

More than 500 musketeers divided into three groups and fired at the galloping Qing cavalry, but at least more than 100 cavalrymen were killed in one shot, but that's it, because there was no time for them to fire a second shot.

Before the impact of the Ming army formation, the two hundred Xuan Feng dead soldiers who ran in front were almost dead, and the Eight Banners cavalry behind were not afraid, controlling the war horses one by one, jumping over the corpses of the war horses that fell to the ground, and crashing towards the Ming army formation.

The dozens of war horses at the front had already slammed into the Ming army's array.

The war horse slammed into the sharp spear of the Ming army with a scream, and the spears piercing into the body of the war horse broke one after another, and the Daishan soldiers holding the spears fell down with blood spraying wildly in their mouths, and they couldn't bear the powerful momentum carried by the galloping war horses.

The pikemen behind hurriedly stepped forward to try to plug the gap, but another horse slammed into him......

The phalanx of the Ming army was a thin array composed of four rows of pikemen, which could not withstand the impact of thousands of cavalry at all, and Turai commanded the cavalry to tear a huge gap by savage impact, and three thousand cavalry swarmed along the gap, and the phalanx of the Daishan army burst with a bang.

For the cavalry of the Three Thousand Eight Banners, perhaps only the same number of hoplites could compete with it. But where is the heavy infantry in the Ming Dynasty! With the same number of infantry to compete with the cavalry, I am afraid that there are only two armies of the Ming Dynasty, one is the world-famous Qi family army, and the other is the white pole soldier of Sichuan. The Daishan infantry, which has a single class, is not among them......

However, although the army is single, although the training time is still short, the Daishan Army has the same quality as the white pole soldiers of the Qi Army, that is, tenacity!

Since the establishment of the army, the soldiers of the Daishan Army have repeatedly emphasized obedience and discipline, emphasizing that they would rather die than retreat, and all soldiers who dare to escape from the battle will be severely punished, not to mention that they will be executed, and their families will be driven out of Daishan Island. Therefore, for these soldiers of the Daishan Army, if they die on the battlefield, their families will be well taken care of, and if they escape, they will drag down their families!

"Bu Sancai Array!" Chen Mingyang shouted, and the two drummers behind him beat the war drums desperately, and the two thousand infantry instantly dispersed in formation, and the soldiers combined nearby, forming a small array.

Turai urged his war horse and rushed into the Ming army array, looking at the scattered Ming soldiers, with a slight smile on his face.

Swinging the knife to separate a stabbing spear, lowering his body and dragging the long knife, the Ming army spearman was cut a long gap between his waist and ribs, screaming and falling to the ground.

With more than a hundred cavalry, Belle Ahsan aimed at the Ming musketeers on both sides of the phalanx, and those musketeers were still loading gunpowder in panic, and Ahsan would never give them another chance to shoot. With a wave of his hand, half of the cavalry went to the left, and Ahsan personally led more than 50 cavalry to attack the Ming musketeers on the right. (To be continued.) )
