Both armies were firmly close to each other, and the whole plain was boiling with the neighing of men and horses. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the soldiers on both sides approached 200 paces, Ma Quanfu waved his hand, and a rapid brass horn sounded.

The Beihua army immediately stopped all the neatness and stopped singing.

Two more hurried brass trumpets sounded, "Tiger." All the soldiers yelled and stood still.

Under the orders of the generals at all levels, all the soldiers checked their armor, and the musketeers began to reload the musketers.

They skillfully and quickly tore open the medicine bag, put it into the barrel, and then put the projectile in, and passed it through with a branch.

Then, under the command of the general, they put their guns on their shoulders and aimed at the coalition army formation approaching more than 100 paces ahead.

Immediately, hundreds of firearms were brushed against the coalition army, which made people look at it coldly.

The allied iron cannon was not so particular about it, and it was loaded during the march and then continued with the brigade.

On the one hand, it was in order, and on the other hand, it was chaotic, and on the other hand, it was neatly lined up waiting for the moment to come, and on the other hand, it was chaotic to move forward, and the two gunners and iron gunners made judgments.

When he approached a hundred paces, Ma Quanfu shouted loudly, and the drums and trumpeters sounded in unison.

A thumping popping sound sounded, and puffs of smoke filled the military formation of the North Chinese Army, and hundreds of projectiles were ignited and roared towards the coalition forces.

The first row of iron cannons who had just stopped to fire was hit on the shoulders of the iron cannons.

The iron guns of the first row were many hits, and the bamboo armor they wore had almost zero protection against the projectiles.

Many iron cannons threw away the iron cannons in their hands and rolled on the ground and wailed, once the projectiles entered the body, there was no fixed track at all. Stir up the flesh. It's not going to kill people instantly. This pain is very bearable.

Only a small number of iron cannons fired lightly, and their return fire worked, some of the projectiles hit the first row of musketeers, but many of the Beihua soldiers were just shaking their bodies, at most they were only in pain in the chest after being hit, and they fell to the ground on an unstable footing.

Kishi was the first to react, shouting, "The range is not enough to rush forward." Rush forward. ”

Matsu Prospect Guang also reacted immediately, the other party was not an unprotected soldier, but a man wearing iron armor, and the projectile of the iron cannon could not be fatal when hit.

"Forward, forward, don't stop." He shouted anxiously.

The drums and trumpets of the coalition forces marched forward.

The first reaction of the coalition forces was the iron gunners, they also knew that the range was wrong, in the past, they often encountered ashigaru wearing bamboo armor, a hundred steps was enough, but on the opposite side was the Ming army with full iron armor. Only closer can it be able to pierce the armor.

The second row, the third row of iron gunners hurriedly trotted forward.

The iron gunners of the coalition forces were not too sufficient. Therefore, many foot archers also followed forward, as close as possible to some distance, otherwise they could not break the armor and hurt the Ming army.

At this time, the second row of musketeers of the Ming army fired, and the projectiles came in the whistling sound, knocking hundreds of iron gunners and foot archers to the ground, and the miserable screams were endless.

At this time, the infantry archers of the coalition army opened their bows and arrows while running, and a large number of feather arrows rose into the sky, and then rushed towards the Beihua army formation with a roar, but the Beihua army soldiers were protected by iron armor all over their bodies, except for some unlucky hands and feet with arrows, the others were only slightly injured by insertion.

After all, the opponents are often bamboo armor, and their foot bows are also powerful, and the bodies of the Japanese people who are too strong to shoot arrows are really unable to shoot bows.

The iron gunners of the allied army rushed forward desperately, they ran more than ten steps to stand still, the iron guns fired on the shoulder, and finally opened fire before the third row of musketeers fired, and almost instantly the third row of the North Chinese Army's musketeers also fired.

This was the closest thing a platoon shot could have been fired, and the first platoon of the coalition forces had been cut off a single layer, and many people threw themselves on the ground and howled not from human voices.

Some of the iron armor of the broken army was protected, some were not, and the shouts of knockdown casualties appeared in the Beihua army, coupled with the crazy shooting of the allied infantry archers, the distance was close, and some feather arrows could also cause casualties, and there were constantly soldiers injured and fell to the ground, of course, this kind of injury rarely hurt lives.

But the brothers around him kept getting injured and falling to the ground, which also hurt the morale of the army.

At this time, some of the Beihua soldiers who were fighting for the first time became sluggish, and they also began to panic, and the work in their hands slowed down.

However, the good days of the coalition were like this, and their three-stage strike was over.

The fourth platoon of musketeers of the North Chinese Army rushed forward and took aim at the opponent's military formation.

The golden drum of the coalition army, this is the Song Prospect wide command to order the coalition troops to rush forward in close combat, the Ming army only has a row of musketeers, this is a good opportunity to break the formation, because the Ming army infantry formation that has been circulated in the past is afraid of close combat, as long as the melee hand-to-hand combat will soon collapse.

This was also confirmed by Kishi's letterhead, and the leaders of the coalition forces pinned their hopes for victory on close combat.

The various ashigaru generals and samurai of all ranks had already made it clear to the ashigaru that they had the advantage of close combat, and this was their way of boosting morale.

The ashigaru and low-ranking samurai also hurried forward, they had now broken through fifty paces and approached the enemy, but they were terrified by the black hole in front of them.

Many people stiffened their heads and rushed into battle, and some of them were even nervous to the point of madness, and they rushed forward regardless of anything.

Fortunately, the infantry archers used all their spare strength to open their bows and fire at the musketeers dozens of paces away, causing injuries to dozens of musketeers and affecting the volleys of some musketeers.

In the roar of bang, the fourth row of firecrackers fired, and almost no projectiles missed at such a distance, and immediately hundreds of allied troops fell to the ground and howled for their lives, and when they got closer, some of them even fell out of the way, and the first row in front of the coalition army formation was empty.

However, the Akito's musketeers had finished firing, and they saw the Akito's spearmen emerge from the smoke behind.

This is the hope, the hope of winning in close combat, and the ashigaru and samurai of the coalition army are speeding up their pace as if they were beaten with blood.

The pikemen of the Beihua Army lined up neatly, and under the order, they flattened their guns to resist the enemy, and the pikemen array of Rulin stood majestically.

The ashigaru of the coalition army also swarmed up with Takema guns, and they roared and cheered each other on.

On one side it stood still like a boulder on the seashore, and on the other hand, it seemed like a rushing wave, and in an instant the two sides collided together, and the beastly roar spread throughout the field.

The ashigaru in front found a problem, their Takema spears were shorter than the pikemen, which was a fatal cut, which meant that the Ming spearmen could stab them in the vital point, while the ashigaru could only inflict minor injuries on their opponents.

The situation also developed in the same way, in the ping-pong fight, many ashigaru were stabbed by pikemen in reluctance, fell to the ground and struggled in the blood spray, and the front of the entire front line fell.

The pikemen suffered a slight loss, and this fatal fraction cost many lives.

But the obsession with their own land drives them crazy, and the fear of losing everything if defeated drives them to rush forward and find ways to hit the enemy.

Compared to their spears, some of them were armed with knives and shields, but they posed a great threat to pikemen.

They took advantage of the confrontation between the spearhead and the spearmen of the Ming army, and attacked from the lower three directions, and the wielding of the Taidao injured many Ming soldiers' legs, causing the Ming army front in some places to fall into chaos.

Some veteran guys who have been in battle for a long time will not let go of such an opportunity, and Matsu Prospect will let his subordinates rush forward when he sees chaos wherever he sees it in the back.

Yasuda Shinkatsu led more than a dozen people to take advantage of the chaos in front of them and rushed into the Ming army's spear formation, once the formation was broken, the Ming army's spear was a little clumsy, at this time, it should be to throw away the spear and draw out the Yanling knife to meet the enemy, but this place is the defense of the reserves, and the reaction is slower.

Yasuda Shinkatsu and his subordinates frantically brandished the sword, slashed more than a dozen Ming soldiers, and took advantage of the chaos caused to break out of the formation.

When his eyes were sparse and empty, and his heart was happy, dozens of Ming troops in iron armor and armed with spears and iron shields surrounded him.

After several fierce battles, this is the new class of troops in the Broken Army, the spear and shield men, who are armed with shorter cavalry spears and iron shields, and are the opponents who specialize in killing the opponents who enter the battle.

Yasuda Shinsheng howled and rushed up with his subordinates, and at this time, both sides knew the truth of the brave winning when they met on the narrow road.

In the clanging sound, the knife slashed flexibly, and the warriors of the Wa Kingdom showed the martial arts of the knife in close combat, but unfortunately they encountered the Ming army with iron armor and iron shield protection all over the body, and the knife was really unbearable to use, and it broke quickly several times.

And the spears of the Ming army are like poisonous dragons out of the water, harvesting the lives of the enemy.

After a few rounds, most of the samurai of the Matsumae Domain were shot and fought for their lives.

Yasuda Shinkatsu's sword broke in the fight, and he hurriedly pulled out the ribs, but unfortunately it was a bit short, and he frantically parried the attacks of two mounted spears, and was pierced into his side by one of the mounted spears on the side.

The severe pain made him lose all ability to resist, the two riding spears in front of him snorted twice, broke through the armor, and the three guns almost set him up, he struggled a few times and gradually lost his strength, and the ribs in his hand fell to the ground.

In the lineup of the assault, it can be said that the most sacrificing people are the Anu'is, because the ground under their feet is the land where their ancestors lived in the past, and it is also the hope for their future survival.

As they approached the front of the captives, they threw axes, spears, and even spears into the air, causing casualties among the pikemen in the first row.

However, after the engagement, their disorganization and lack of armor protection were revealed, and in hand-to-hand combat, they often only wounded the pikemen, but the pikemen's counterattack could kill them.

Therefore, the Anui fell on the front of the North Chinese Army and the Anui, but they still bravely attacked one after another.

The battle between the two sides was very fierce in front, but in the rear of the coalition army, it was a lot more leisurely, after all, the troops in the early 20,000s could not be used in a hurry, and Song Jingguang and others were also in the back.

Ma Quanfu, who was watching the formation in the rear of the North Chinese Army, looked at the entire front, and he waved his hand and sent out a signal.

Suddenly, the drums and trumpets of the Beihua Army sounded in unison, and the sound shook the field.

The cavalry on the left and right flanks moved. (To be continued.) )
