Chapter 116: Fire

With the deafening sound of bird guns firing, the two hundred bird gunners at the front of the chariot lined up Lu Mi in the first row behind the thorn chariot opened fire together, and the two hundred bird gunners lined up in a relatively long formation, and some of them fired at the Qing army from the sides of both sides. A series of fiery red flames sounded with a sound like fried beans, and thick white smoke also rose into the air at the same time.

As the sound of the bird's gun sounded, the Qing soldiers who rushed in front immediately fell into a group, although they had deliberately dispersed the distance between each other under the order of the officer when they charged. But the thinking of cold weapons is still deeply ingrained in their minds, even if they are scattered, some soldiers are still leaning together intentionally or unintentionally, and strictly speaking, it is the first time that the infantry of the Qing army has encountered such an organized platoon of guns, so their casualties are inevitable.

And the blow of this platoon gun to the Qing soldiers was also amazing, those archers wearing light armor and no shields, and those Qing soldiers and auxiliaries who did not even have armor, almost at the same time, a cloud of blood mist appeared on their bodies, and the Qing soldiers who were shot all let out a terrible cry and rolled to the ground in pain. It is worth mentioning that the penetration power of these round-headed lead bullets is naturally inferior to the pointed bullets of later generations, but their destructive power after invading the human body is also even greater, if the Qing soldiers who were hit by the lead bullets died on the spot, it is okay, those Qing soldiers who were hit in the chest and abdomen have been smashed by the lead bullets the size of a little thumb at the moment of being shot, and such injuries are difficult to save even if the gods come.

And the dead soldiers who rushed to the front and also took the lead, wearing double layers of heavy armor and holding heavy shields, more than a dozen people were knocked to the ground, they rushed to the front, and there were naturally more people aiming at them. Lingshanwei's bird guns were sixty paces away, though they couldn't penetrate their double layers of heavy armor and thick hardwood shields at the same time. But the powerful impact of the projectile was borne by them, as long as the lead bullet hit them, all the kinetic energy after the lead shot was naturally borne by their body, that is, more than a dozen unlucky vests were shot through the wooden escape in their hands by the lead bullet, and the lead bullet still hit their heavy armor with kinetic energy. Although the projectiles did not penetrate the double layers of heavy armor they were wearing, the kinetic energy of the projectiles still passed through the heavy armor into their bodies, shattering all the bones and internal organs in their bodies. These unlucky Qing soldiers who were shot through their armor spat blood from their mouths, and they all fell to their knees one by one, and they couldn't help but moan loudly in great pain, these people had lost their combat effectiveness even if they didn't die.

Pang Gang did not have the slightest mercy for the Qing soldiers who were killed or wounded in front of him, and he gave the order to continue firing with an expressionless face. The bird-gunners in the first row got up and retreated, and the bird-gunners in the second row, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately plugged in quickly.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Immediately after the roar of the second row sounded, Sakhalian, who was standing behind and following forward, saw with his own eyes a Qing soldier officer wearing three layers of heavy armor, as if he was dressed as a Pashku, covering his right chest, blood continued to gush out along his fingers, the weapon in his right hand was gone, and he was still carrying a heavy shield in his left hand.

The shooting of the Ming army seemed to have no end, and another burst of gunfire rang out, and the back of the person who came backwards was hit by several bullets, and the situation was even worse without the shield to resist this person who was divided into the shku, after being hit in the back, he didn't even make a moaning sound and fell directly to the ground, the body lying on the ground was twitching, and the blood flowed all over the ground along the armor.

Sakhalian saw it really, the fallen officer was one of the only two he had been assigned to the Dashku, and one of his most capable assistants, and now he fell in front of the battle before he could even meet the face of the Ming army.

The Qing soldiers who were originally rushing towards the Ming army's position like a tide were like encountering a solid rock, and they were scattered in an instant. Even Amur, who was fighting in the back, was stunned by the heavy losses, he had heard Sakhalian say that this Ming firearm was powerful, but he always scoffed at it, he always thought that it was a lie made up by Sakharen in order to shirk his own guilt. But when he saw the scene of the Ming army's volley, he had a premonition that he had made a big mistake, maybe he shouldn't have let Sakhalian attack so rashly with two oxen.

Although Amur was a murderous man, he was not a reckless man who could only rush forward, and when he saw that the Ming army could shoot three volleys in a short instant, and beat the charging dead soldiers to heavy casualties, he knew that Sakhalian's two Niu Lu's men and horses alone could not break through the Ming army's chariot formation.

"Quick, order Sakhalian to retreat!"

"My lord, I can't retreat anymore, and now Lord Sakhalian has been entangled with the Ming army, and I can't retreat."

After looking over, Amur found that although the team led by Sakharen had lost more than 100 soldiers in the three volleys of firearms just now, nearly 200 soldiers still rushed into the distance of 30 paces in front of the Ming army's vehicle formation, as if they could rush into the Ming army's vehicle formation with more effort. If you retreat at this time, it will be equivalent to giving your back to the Ming army and letting them shoot targets.

The Qing army is also worthy of the name of ferociousness, although they lost more than 100 people, but there are still nearly 200 Qing soldiers rushed to the distance of 30 steps from the car array, dozens of archers who have been following behind the vest have opened the longbow and folded the arrow, dozens of arrows soon fell behind the car formation, I have to say that the bow and arrow of the Qing soldiers shot very tricky, in this rain of arrows, there were more than ten bird guns were shot and fell to the ground, the position of the arrow in the bird gun hand is either the face or the neck, Moreover, the Qing soldiers also soaked horse manure on their arrowheads, which were easily infected after being hit by their arrowheads, and infection often meant death in this era when there were no antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.

The bows and arrows of the Qing soldiers are still as vicious and accurate as rumored, full of strength, and they always shoot people in the eyes. Although everyone in Pang Gang's team was wearing armor, the first wave of arrows of the Qing soldiers still caused more than a dozen casualties.

Li Yuan, who had been standing next to the bird gunners and commanding, was shot in the helmet by an arrowhead, but fortunately, the arrow only passed through his hair, knocking the helmet to the ground and giving him a bun to scatter, which scared Li Yuan a lot.

The frightened Li Yuan didn't bother to pick up the helmets scattered on the ground and shouted, "Fourth row, shoot!" ”

The deafening sound of fire shook the ears of the birds, and the pungent smell of gunsmoke emitted by the birds' guns when they shot them also smoked and sprayed. From time to time, fires burst out in front of his eyes, which was really terrifying. Fortunately, the Lu Mi gun equipped by Pang Gang was well-made and would not be in danger of exploding, which also made them feel somewhat comforted.

Before the Qing archers who had just finished shooting the first round of arrow rain had time to shoot the second round, the bird guns in front of them spewed out flames again, and the Qing soldiers who had just put their arrows on their bows and arrows fell to the ground one by one screaming, and only a few of the dozens of archers shot bows and arrows, and the rest of them all fell to the ground with their chests or without saying a word.

What's even worse is the horse armor that rushed to the front, when they waved the heavy shield in their hands and rushed forward desperately, one after another hot lead bullets had already flown towards them, within thirty paces, whether they were wearing two or three layers of heavy armor or even a heavy shield, they could not block the attack of the lead bullets shot by Lu Mi Gong.

After penetrating the layers of heavy armor, the lead bullets that came into contact with their flesh * bodies have long since reverted to their shapes, and all kinds of strange lead bullets are constantly rolling in their bodies, if you pick up the heavy armor of these horse armor soldiers who have been shot, people will definitely find that their bodies have appeared half a fist-sized hole, and such wounds are fatal to anyone.

Due to the close distance, the bird gunners almost did not need to aim, and they could hit people by pulling the trigger in front of them, and in this round of shooting, more than 100 Qing soldiers screamed and fell to the ground.

At this time, Pang Gang, who was standing in the center of the circle, saw that the remaining team of less than 100 Qing soldiers had rushed to the thorn car one after another, and in order to avoid unnecessary casualties among the bird guns, he gave another order to the bannermen beside him.

With the command from the flag bearer, the front row of the pikemen immediately retreated behind the pikemen, and now the pikemen stood in the front row.

The Qing soldiers who had come to rush to the front of the thorn chariot originally wanted to push away the thorn chariot so that the cavalry behind could rush in, but they didn't expect that these thorn chariots had been connected by the Ming army's iron chains, and now those Qing soldiers did not dare to untie the chains so swaggeringly, they knew very well that as long as they dared to stay in place for a while longer, the sound of those birds that had just disappeared would sound again.

At this time, Da Zhuang had already commanded the pikemen to meet the Qing soldiers who rushed into the car formation, and Da Zhuang with a spear shouted: "Soldiers, kill the thief with me!" ”

Da Zhuang rushed out first, the standard-bearer beside him waving the flag, and two guards also followed closely beside him.

The first row, with a full two hundred pikemen, rushed up with Da Zhuang, and the two sides quickly collided together, and the first thing they faced was the dead soldier waistcoat who rushed to the front, wearing two layers of heavy armor and mostly holding heavy shields and broadswords.

"Kill!"

The two sides collided with each other. Instantly slaughtered.

At the beginning of the battle, it was extremely cruel, and the screams of both sides rang out from time to time on the battlefield.

Da Zhuang commanded his three-person escort team to face a vest soldier, and as soon as the two sides made contact with this vest soldier, Da Zhuang was taken aback
