The iron cavalry charge came and went quickly, but in this short period of time, the charging Guanning iron cavalry lost a thousand horses, and the cavalry of the two armies did not lose more than three hundred in yesterday's cavalry charge, and today it lost a thousand at once, and Wang Pingfan, who learned the result, was simply dripping blood in his heart.

The gunners of the Qing army knew that there were no more enemy troops within the firing range, and it was difficult for anyone to survive in this range, but they still kept firing their cannons, and thirty red-coated cannons and numerous miscellaneous cannons continued to sound. "Stop! Stop! Stop! After receiving Zhou Peigong's order, the artillery commanders of the Qing army immediately gave a loud order, but because the gunners could not hear the shouts at all, the artillery commanders of the Qing army had to step forward and kick and beat their subordinates to stop shooting. The gunners of the Qing army were so excited that if they continued to shoot like this, the barrel would heat up, and the continued shelling would not have much effect, but would waste ammunition.

When the sound of the artillery completely stopped, everyone suddenly felt that there was an extremely strange silence on the battlefield, but in fact it was not quiet, but everyone's ears were temporarily deaf from the shelling. The wind on the battlefield also grew stronger, and the smoke of the shelling and the flying dust slowly dispersed. The officers and soldiers of the Qing army stared blankly ahead, only to see that all the corpses within the scope of the shelling were corpses, or even incomplete corpses, and the cavalry and some infantry of the Wu army who could escape the shelling were all scattered and fled.

And the front army formation of the Wu army's infantry army, which was not hit by the artillery bombardment, also fell into chaos at this moment, and the crowding among the people made it impossible for the front troops of the Wu army to maintain the original formation at all. Some of the low-ranking officers in Wu's army could not even find their own troops for the time being. Originally, the step formation was a mess. And the Guanning Iron Cavalry that the Wu army retreated from was also restraining the horses. I also have to worry about not influencing each other, and I also look like a pot of porridge.

The Qing army had a lot of artillery fire, but the effect of this salvo was too great. Although the people of Zhou Peigong and Tuhai in the Qing army had also seen the shooting of their own artillery, today's shelling is completely a quantitative change to a qualitative change, reflecting the amazing power of concentrated artillery fire. Besides, the Tiger Pier that shelled Pingliang City before, it was all buildings. There were not many people killed or injured, but there were many more who were stunned and injured by broken bricks and tiles. So at this moment, after a short period of distraction, the Qing army suddenly erupted in blazing cheers. This cheer came more from Zhao Liangdong's department, they had seen the power of the musketers, but they were still much worse than this artillery. The cheers were so long-lasting that they resounded through the sky. There is also a meaning expressed in my heart: cannons are really the god of war!

"Mr. Zhou! I didn't expect the power of the cannon to be so sharp! Zhao Liangdong shouted excitedly at Zhou Peigong. Because he was a little deaf, Zhao Liangdong couldn't control his volume.

"Hehe, that's why I asked the emperor for all the red-coated cannons in stock of the Ordnance Bureau, and now it seems. Obviously, it is very easy to use, and the end of this battle must be written to the emperor. The power and function of the cannon are revealed, and the emperor is requested to order the superintendent to vigorously cast the cannon! It's a pity that the South China Sea is controlled by Geng Jingzhong, otherwise, the imperial court can still buy a batch of Hongyi cannons through Western merchants, and the power is stronger than ours here! ”

Zhao Liangdong nodded and agreed: "That's true, the general will also advise His Majesty at the end of this battle, it is said that the Wu army has always been equipped with a lot of artillery, but in recent days, there has been a battle, but it has not been found that Wang Pingfan's army has used it, can it be said that they all put artillery in Xi'an City?" Judging from the current effect, the biggest left and right of this artillery is not used to defend the city but to attack! ”

The two of them were talking here, and at the Qing cavalry phalanx in the other place, Tu Hai had already raised his eyes and roared loudly: "Cavalry attack!" It's time to correct my name as a warrior of the Eight Banners! ”

The Eight Banners cavalry suffered heavy losses yesterday, and there were only 1,300 people left who finally returned to the team, and at this moment the 1,300 Eight Banners cavalry was in the forefront of all the cavalry, temporarily under the command of Tuhai, and behind them were the Horqin 2,000 cavalry, and the other Horqin cavalry was transferred with the same part of the infantry army to cut off the rear road of the Wu army. These cavalrymen were not far from the artillery position, and they were still calming the horses when the artillery was roaring, and they were only now in formation.

"Kill" With the sound of a long whistle, more than 3,000 Qing cavalry also shouted and began to move, while the Qing infantry and artillery of the other phalanx cheered and waved their arms at them, and the cavalry team also continued to burst into cheers. "The final solution to the battle is still up to our swords and guns!" Tuhai, who commanded the cavalry charge, shouted, although he saw the power of the artillery, but what made him proud was the iron cavalry long sword!

A wave of voices immediately sounded in the ranks of the Eight Banners cavalry: "Wan Sheng!" Wansheng! Kill" They want to be ashamed, at this moment, they saw that the Wu army's Guanning Iron Cavalry was beaten so badly by the artillery, and the front army array of the infantry army was not neat, so they saw the opportunity, so they howled loudly and prepared to charge forward. The trumpeter blew the trumpet of the charge, and there was another shocking cheer, and the entire Eight Banners and the Mongolian Horqin cavalry unit burst out with their strongest voice at the same moment.

More than 3,000 cavalry lined up in a neat horizontal formation, pressing forward together, as if it was as unstoppable as a moving mountain, and as if the sky was falling apart, and the smoke and dust were billowing out. They first suppressed the speed of the horses and trotted, the queue continued to expand, and the teams behind them were also pulled to the first line, and the huge frontal formation pressed towards the Wu army. And the distance between the cavalry and the cavalry was also four or five paces, which allowed the cavalry to wield their weapons comfortably.

The array of cavalry, the running and movement of men and horses under their hips, were far more powerful than the same number. and even several times the number of local infantry charges. This earth-shattering momentum. The surging oppression, in the face of this qiē enemy, often do not dare to touch hard, will rout and will turn to dodge. As soon as the enemy is no longer able to maintain their formation, they scatter and flee. Then they are not opponents of condescending, shocking cavalry, waving their swords at the enemy's back. It couldn't be simpler.

Such a scenario. Just now, it was Guan Ning's iron cavalry that showed it to the Qing army's formation. But at the moment, it is a change of camp. However, at this time, although the speed of the Qing cavalry has not yet been fully developed, even if it is a cavalry that controls the speed, the travel speed of four legs is much faster than that of two legs.

"Damn. There is no cannon to bully Lao Tzu! "Previously, the artillery on Wang Pingfan's side was only arranged farther away, and it was not pushed to the front and was blocked by their military formation. Their cannons are all produced in Fujian, although they are not as good as the general cannons in the Mawei Army at this time, but the range and power are stronger than these red-coated cannons cast by the Qing army, so they were arranged a little later, and no one in the Qing army on the battlefield found it. After the cavalry was defeated and retreated, the Qing army charged over at this moment, and the Wu army showed the cannons on this side, and the two army formations in front of them were spread out left and right, and the cannons in the middle and rear appeared in front of the Qing army.

"The order goes down. All the cannons let me go! Let them taste the power of our cannons! Wang Pingfan shouted to the herald. Immediately, the herald quickly conveyed the battle order. Soon, the Wu gunners quickly loaded their ammunition under the command of their own artillery commanders, and when the Qing cavalry entered the firing range, all the gunners ignited in unison under the command of the commander!

"Ignition! Launch! "The gunners of the Wu army are much stronger than the gunners of the Qing army, and they are also very skilled in handling the artillery, after all, they have also been using the cannon for a short time, and the overall firing speed at this moment is about thirty percent stronger than that of the gunners of the Qing army.

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

This time it was the turn of the Qing cavalry to taste the bitterness, at the first time when Wang Pingfan passed the order, the cannon was already beginning to prepare, and the time of ignition was also well chosen, and the Qing cavalry was charging to the position of three hundred steps in front of them. This distance is still far for the infantry army, but for the cavalry who run, it is not a distance, but at the moment when the cannon is revealed, the cavalry on the side of the Qing army is also stunned, they have seen the effect of their own artillery just now, and now the offensive and defensive positions are just reversed!

"Oh, I'm my mother!" No, the Eight Banners warriors at the front immediately left behind their thoughts about yesterday's shame, and their first thought was to escape! Run! Wu Jun actually prepared cannons! But how could they go back at this time? Not to mention that his own cavalry is all on his left and right and behind, and then he is still his own infantry phalanx, and it is not possible to retreat or to both sides, unless he can stop now and slowly turn his head back to the original position, or just like the Wu army before, the infantry military formation can open a passage for the cavalry to retreat! There is no way, the cavalry of the Qing army in front of them just wants to stop immediately, there is no way, the thousands of cavalry behind are charging forward quickly, if they stop rashly, there can only be one ending, that is, they are killed by the cavalry who charge up from behind!

The first round of artillery bombardment of the Wu army was so ferocious, and the bursts of artillery sound shook this piece of battlefield land belonging to Weinan City. Of course, the firing speed block on Wu Jun's side still belongs to the Franco machine artillery, which was available a hundred years ago, but this is cast in Fujian, and the quality is much stronger than that cast by the imperial court before. Because of the relationship between the breeches of the Furlong machine artillery, the firing speed of the first few guns can be very fast, and the shells can be very dense.

One by one, the solid bullets smashed towards the field in front of the formation. The Qing cavalry who were charging were trying to avoid this round of bullets at the moment, and then prepared to quickly retreat, presumably the infantry army should have made way for the passage, otherwise these thousands of cavalry would be finished. In the process of dodging the shells, all the cavalrymen had to bend down one after another, trying to avoid the attack of the shells as much as possible. Even so, due to the density of the cavalry phalanx, there were still a lot of solid bullets.

Previously, the Guanning Iron Cavalry could be hit by cannonballs, but now the cavalry of the Qing Army is also flesh and blood, and if it is hit by a solid bullet, it will also be killed and injured, and it will also be killed and injured, and it will also be beaten inhumanly. As the artillery on the side of the Wu army's array continued to fire, more and more Qing cavalry fell along the way. In addition, the speed of the Wu army's launch was obviously faster than that of the Qing army, and although the Furlong machine gun was not as large as the red-coated cannon, the firing speed was quite fast, and the Qing army fell one after another.

The Qing cavalry was completely chaotic, but they could not immediately stop the pace of the charge, and the vanguard cavalry ran a distance of more than 100 steps in such a short time, and at this moment they were less than 200 steps away from the Wu artillery position.

"Swap shots!"

"Swap shots!"

As the Qing army approached, the Wu army artillery commanders immediately hurriedly shouted again. At this distance, the attack of the shotgun can already be obtained, and in this kind of scene, the shell is replaced by the shotgun, and the damage will be even more terrifying.

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

Sure enough, a large area of bullet rain was launched, and the Qing cavalry who had not turned their heads back and still impacted were hit by dense marbles, and a large number of people and horses fell to the ground, including Tu Hai, the general of Fuyuan, just now Tu Hai rushed to rush, and suddenly felt that his body sank, and before he could react, he had already fallen to the ground. After a long while, Tu Hai gradually regained consciousness. He felt that his thigh had been hit by a marble, and his body quickly lost his balance and fell on the spot. He looked down at his thigh and saw that it was already bloody. He subconsciously pressed the upper part of the wound to prevent death due to excessive blood loss.

Because they were the front of the cavalry charge, and when the artillery sounded, the cavalry of the Qing army slowed down, and most of them were still trying to turn around and retreat and escape, so Tuhai fell down, and no cavalry from behind rushed up and hit him. The guards next to him found that Tu Hai had been shot and fell to the ground, and two people hurriedly came up, they quickly tore off a strip of cloth to tie the upper part of Tu Hai's wound hard, and then turned Tu Hai's back on the war horse and ran back desperately. They had to get out of the range of the grape shells of the Franc cannon, otherwise, Tuhai would lie on the ground, and even if he would not bleed too much and die, he would be hit by the grape shells that continued to fall.
