After the 5,000 Jiannu cavalry rushed out of the large formation, they quickly dispersed to the two wings.

The artillery fire of the Ming army also arrived in the expectation of Jiannu, these five thousand Jiannu, just rushed out of the big formation, into the range of artillery, and the roar of artillery sounded on the defensive position of the Ming army.

As clouds of black smoke rose into the air, in the deafening explosion, many shells flew up into the air with a roar, drawing faint black lines, and quickly falling on the head of the attacking Jiannu.

The solid bullet has the longest range and the fastest flight speed, and the first to hit Jiannu's head is that the killing range is not very wide, but the lethality is very large. The solid bullet with huge kinetic energy swept at high speed, and the person who was hit had almost no chance of survival, so it should be said that the solid bullet was ploughed open a bloody passage. All kinds of flowering bombs also fell, blowing some unlucky eggs away, and for a while, in the smoke produced after the bomb exploded, you could see the blurred scene of flesh and blood everywhere.

Before the attack, Jiannu had already planned how to defend against the attack of the shells, and the queue of the attack was scattered and charged as fast as possible, which was what they thought was the best way to deal with it.

Of course, this evasion method is also very effective, although many people were killed and injured by the bomb, but the overall casualty rate is not high.

At this time, the follow-up attackers also followed suit. The total strength of the first wave of Jiannu's attack was nearly 30,000, in addition to the 5,000 Jurchen elites who took the lead in the front, there were 10,000 Mongolian cavalry, 10,000 Han troops and 5,000 Korean troops.

The 10,000 Mongol cavalry followed the Jurchen cavalry, while the Han and Korean armies followed the Mongol cavalry.

Dolgon's arrangement was also forced to do so. In previous wars, the servant army was always used to fight the vanguard, the purpose was to use the servant army to consume the enemy's strength and preserve the strength of the Jurchen Eight Banners. However, in the process of fighting with the Ming army, which was equipped with a large number of firearms, it was found that such an arrangement was a bit more than worth the loss. The servant army was not strong in battle, and soon collapsed after suffering huge losses. Even a harsh battlefield policy could not withstand the rout. And the rout of the servant army greatly affected the morale of the entire army, and it was difficult to achieve results.

After learning the hard way, Dolgon finally decided that the vanguard should be driven by the Jurchen cavalry, and the Mongol cavalry, which is relatively strong in combat, will follow the Jurchen cavalry, and the Han army and the Korean army will follow the Mongol cavalry to kill. In this way, the ferocity of the Jurchen elite horsemen and the fear of death can set an example for other horses and play a role in boosting morale.

Don't really say it. Dolgon's arrangement was indeed quite morale-boosting, and the Mongols who followed the Jurchen cavalry, as well as the Han army and the Korean army, had no resentment, but followed with all their strength.

As more and more Jiannu were put into the battlefield, the artillery of the Ming army shot more happily.

In the continuous explosions, the entire battlefield was shrouded in gunsmoke, and countless Jiannu had not yet pulled out the war knives on their waists. They fell under the fire of the Ming artillery, and many of them were still without bones.

However, most of the 5,000 Jurchen elites who took the lead survived the artillery fire, and the loss was only a few hundred horsemen. They rushed through a dense area of artillery fire. The speed of the attack was accelerated, and he wanted to rush to the defensive position of the Ming army as soon as possible.

As the distance approached, they were greeted by more intense artillery fire, the roar of the Fran cannons. The positions of the Ming army, which had not been completely enveloped by black smoke, were filled with black smoke. Thankfully it was a bit windy this morning, under the effect of high winds. The black smoke was blown away by a burst of smoke, and the situation on the battlefield was still faintly visible.

The Jurchen elite cavalry, who rushed to the forefront, finally rushed to a place about four or five hundred paces away from the Ming army's position after paying a heavy price in the continuous fire of the Franc machine gun. In this place, the artillery of the Ming army is already very sparse, and it is difficult for the musket to shoot here. The remaining more than 4,000 Jurchen elite horsemen immediately formed a formation and prepared to rush and kill. They soon gathered into a "human" herringbone charging formation, and without much delay, more than 4,000 Jiannu once again accelerated the pace of impact, and the whole formation was like an arrow, killing the defensive position of the Ming army.

The two forks of the word "man" just cover the enemy's left and right wings, and before they collide with the opponent's formation, they will sweep past the enemy's two wings in such a formation, and then pour waves of arrows on the enemy's head. After inflicting massive damage and panic on the enemy, they continued to fire with a dense barrage of arrows.

After inflicting greater damage on the opponent, and then taking advantage of the enemy's panic to intersperse and divide, it can be said that in field battles, Jiannu almost always won with such a formation. The Mongols also used this tactic to do the same, and during the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, the Mongol cavalry was able to sweep the world by relying on this simple but effective tactic.

Today, they want to desperately rush to the death with such a formation and break through the defensive position of the Ming army.

However, it is impossible for the world to be business as usual, and when facing an enemy who is also equipped with cold weapons, their fierce fighting style can achieve very good results, but when facing an army with a longer lethality than a bow and arrow, and equipped with firearms, the effect of their tactics is greatly reduced.

You must know that the effective range of the Jiannu cavalry is only less than fifty paces, about fifty or sixty meters away, while the effective range of the muskets of the Ming army is at least more than 100 paces. Not to mention, the lethality of muskets is far from being comparable to that of bows and arrows. In the past few battles, the Ming army has achieved an advantage on the battlefield with the advantage of range and the huge lethality of muskets.

As the Jiannu cavalry approached, the Daming musketeers hiding in the trenches were all ready to aim, and when the commander gave the order, they fired revenge bullets at the roaring Jiannu cavalry.

The distance between the two armies was rapidly approaching, and in the blink of an eye, the distance was less than a hundred paces, and the Jiannu cavalry entered the range of muskets.

With the order of Cao Jiehe, the commander of the First Guards Army, who was in front of him, there was a roar, and thousands of muskets shot out sparks, firing bullets at Jiannu, who was getting closer and closer.

In the midst of a burst of violent gunfire, the Jiannu cavalry, which was galloping at high speed, was as if it had been pulled by a giant, and suddenly the man turned over on his back, and at least hundreds of cavalrymen were shot off his horse. And the shooting of the Ming soldiers almost did not stop, and after the first row of musketeers fired the first bullet, the second row of musketeers also fired bullets from the chambers.

More Jiannu fell under the fire of muskets, but the surviving Jiannu did not flinch, and continued to charge forward after bypassing their fallen companions and horses. It's just that the speed of their impact is much slower than just now.

And at this time, the musket shooting of the soldiers of the Ming Guards became more intensive! (To be continued.) )
