PS: The second update is here, and it's been 22 minutes! ~Sorry, students go to bed early.

The dense and terrifying rain of arrows soon clanged on the musketeers, Jiannu's bow and arrow power was not too great, the range can be described as quite close, less than seventy meters away from the arrows. But the arrows used are heavy arrows, and once they are hit, the damage caused is very great.

However, these arrows rained out on the Ming musketeers, but they did not cause too many casualties. Because these musketeers are all dressed in specially made iron armor.

These armors protected the upper body of the musketeer, and each musketeer wore a helmet shaped like a straw hat, which provided good protection against Kennu's bow and arrow throw.

These helmets, in particular, did not obstruct the musketeer's line of sight, but also blocked a lot of arrows. After all, the bow and arrow are thrown down, and most of the unprotected faces hit by this angle will be blocked by the outer edge of the helmet. When the archer fires a volley, he must only throw it, otherwise it will hit the archer in front of him.

Most of these heavy arrows could only be fired at the protected upper body, because the first row of these musketeers was crouching, protecting the lower body of the second row of bent musketeers, and the second row protected the lower body of the third row of musketeers.

The place where these musketeers have a hole in their protection is in their arms, but an arrow in the arm is not fatal. At the same time, only arrows with sharp angles can hit the faces and lower bodies of these musketeers.

In the phalanx of musketeers, there were still screams. Some unlucky soldiers were shot in the arms and lower body parts, some endured the pain and continued to reload, and some people with poor psychological quality screamed a few times, but they quickly stopped screaming, and some who did not stop screaming were slashed by the military judge on the spot.

There were also musketeers who were shot in the face and killed instantly.

The dense rain of arrows caused only a few hundred casualties among the musketeers, and most of them were only wounded. It's a minimal.

In contrast, Jiannu is much more tragic.

At a distance of seventy meters, the lead bullets fired from these flintlock pistols caused terrifying damage to these Jiannu archers, who were not so strongly protected.

With just one volley, Kennu's archers fell. There were at least six or seven hundred dead and wounded. Because Jiannu was attacking the Chinese army of the Fifth Infantry Division, he was shot at by the Chinese musketeers, and was also hit by the musketeers on both wings, but because of the farther distance, the lethality was far less lethal than the salvo of the Chinese musketeers.

The power of a salvo. It's just frightening. Jiannu's archer dense array seemed to have been gnawed off in an instant, and some of the archers were densely covered with bullet holes.

The fallen Jiannu archers, whose blood stained the snow red, were particularly dazzling.

The huge casualties instantly hit the soldiers of the other Jiannu soldiers, and all the Jiannu soldiers who saw this scene had a huge shock in their hearts, as well as a sense of absurdity and unreality.

This is still the Ming army that I encountered before? The sudden huge casualties made these Jiannu soldiers unable to react for a while, and only then did they have an unreal feeling.

However, these Jiannu infantry still carried out a second round of projectiles.

However, the second round of arrow rain is not as neat as the first round, and Jiannu does not have a strong salvo concept. Basically, after the first salvo, it's the rhythm of free fire.

The rain of arrows poured down from the sky, but after the baptism of the first wave of arrow rain, the musketeers of the 5th Infantry Division were much calmer, and they had enough confidence in the protective ability of helmets and iron armor.

Amin and the others, who were observing the battlefield behind, were also stunned.

"Lord Belle, are you sending out cavalry to charge?" A personal soldier said to Amin at this time, Jiannu's combat method is actually very simple and rude, and in the face of this kind of Ming army arranged in a tight formation, it is to strike with long-range firepower first. After disrupting the formation, the cavalry rushed first, and the infantry behind followed the charge, often with repeated attempts.

The Battle of Salhu was actually the Ming army's deep penetration into the mountainous and hilly areas. A large number of people walked in the mountains and valleys, in the state of 'a long snake formation', Jiannu and then quickly killed with cavalry, the Ming army could not arrange the formation for a while, and was won by Jiannu in the chaos.

"Rush at your mother." Amin slapped it over, on such an open terrain. The Ming army or its troops have already set up a formation, and at this time the cavalry rushed up to it, which was simply an old birthday star eating arsenic acid for a long time. About forty meters in front of the Ming army, there is still a fortification that has not been destroyed! Rush up and be a target?

The pro-soldier lowered his head a little aggrieved, and Amin shouted: "The cavalry will go around the flank of the Ming army for me, and charge me if you have the opportunity." ”

If the front is not good, then you can only find a way to burst the chrysanthemum, but the Ming army has its back to the Qingshui River, so you can only find a way to attack from the flank.

Soon more than 3,000 cavalrymen galloped out, and with the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, they circled the left flank of the 5th Infantry Division, looking for an opportunity to storm.

However, due to the lack of cavalry to cover the flanks, the 5th Infantry Division also placed repulsion horses on both flanks and laid mines.

At this moment, after some reloading. The phalanx of musketeers launched a second volley of fire at Kennu's infantry. As the gunshots rang out, the smoke filled the battlefield, and Jiannu's infantry fell again.

The two sides continued to fire at each other, but at this time, the shortcomings of the Beijing camp's lack of baptism of war were also exposed, and some musketeers did not fire a salvo with others because they could not keep up with the rhythm. In addition, the salvo of other phalanxes sometimes drowned out the sound of passwords, and the musketeers of some phalanxes lost their command in firing, and the firing rhythm began to be chaotic. Soon, several phalanx of musketeers also turned into free fire, just like the infantry of Jiannu.

The commanders of these phalanxes were simply helpless in the face of such a situation, and they could not restore the musketeers to normal order by shouting through their throats. The musketeers were then allowed to fire freely, and then waited for the order to retreat.

But the situation is still very bad for Jiannu. Even if these musketeers shoot freely, they can still inflict damage on the Jiannu infantry in the face of the dense array of Jiannu soldiers, as long as they don't shoot lead bullets into the sky, it doesn't matter if they are left or right, they can always hit the enemy anyway. After continuous training, this basic combat quality can still be guaranteed.

The Jiannu cavalry who went around to the left flank, at this time, saw that there was no force on the left flank to face them, and immediately sent a part of the cavalry to destroy the rejection horse, as long as a gap was opened, they could launch a charge, and there was no need to completely destroy the rejection horse.

The commander of the Fifth Infantry Division, Zhang Kuantu, sensed the intention of the Jiannu cavalry at this time, and immediately transferred the reserves behind the inverted triangle formation to the left flank.

A group of spearmen and archers quickly rushed to the left flank, while the Jiannu cavalry had already destroyed some of the rejecting horses, and by the time these pikemen arrived on the left flank, the formation seemed a little chaotic and was hurrying to form a team. At this time, Jia Laezhen, who led the team, saw that the infantry in his own formation had suffered heavy casualties, and in a hurry, he saw that the Ming spearmen on the left flank were not in a good formation, and suddenly his brain was hot and he launched a charge.

The three thousand cavalry rushed through the gap in the destroyed fortifications, but they had barely taken a few steps when a violent explosion suddenly sounded on the ground.

Stepped on the drum lighter.

As a result, a series of explosions of mines were triggered, and some of the horses were immediately injured in the explosion, falling to the ground, and throwing the cavalry above them.

However, only so many mines could be planted in this gap, and after a brief period of confusion, the charge continued, getting closer and closer.

Fifty meters...... Thirty meters...... Twenty meters ......

Victory seemed to beckon, but to the despair of the Jiannu cavalry, the pikemen who had been transferred to the left flank had already quickly formed their ranks at this time.

Like a hedgehog, the spear array is aimed at them clearly. And the archers in the Ming army had already thrown the first wave of arrows behind the pikemen.

These arrows flew over the heads of the pikemen, and then landed on the heads of the Jiannu cavalry, who were also dressed in iron armor, but in the addition of 2,000 archers in the Fifth Infantry Division, the bows and arrows used by all the archers were carefully crafted by the royal arsenal, and the bows were made of the best hardwood from the north and the best buffalo horns from the south for the horns, which was extremely expensive. So much so that these bows and arrows were extremely powerful, and the strong potential energy made the iron armor on the Jiannu cavalry even be shot through on the spot.

Some of the iron armor on these Jiannu is also inferior products, most of these iron armor were made by the Ming army, and they were smuggled and sold to them by merchants, and they are not as sophisticated as the iron armor used by the Fifth Infantry Division.

Many Jiannu were shot through helmets on the spot, and some were heavy arrows from war horses and thrown off horseback, but because Jiannu was a traditional cavalry, the charging formation was relatively loose, which reduced the probability of being trampled. But these cavalrymen rushed in front of the pike, and immediately tragedy began.

These war horses were forced to stop on the spot in the face of the bright spears, no matter how good the training was. And the weapons in Jiannu's hands are mostly small scimitars, and the length is compared with the spear, so he can only kneel on the spot. After rushing up, the horses were directly killed by the pikemen.

The neighing of the war horse, fall to the ground! The Jiannu cavalry who fell down immediately became infantry, and those who could still run basically got up and turned around and ran.

These cavalrymen who were forced to stop had no advantage in impact or weapons, and after being thrown off their horses, if they did not turn around and run away, they would be killed by a single shot.

Such is the advantage of open terrain, there is enough time to deal with cavalry attacks.

The reason why the cavalry is terrifying is the mobility of the cavalry. Once the infantry is lined up, the cavalry charges without disrupting the opponent's formation, and it is a battle scumbag in front of the infantry.

Normally, these cavalrymen would take advantage of the advantage of mounted archery, galloping back and forth, shooting, shooting until the infantry formation collapsed, finding a loophole and then charging.

It's just that just now, these Jiannu cavalry rushed these pikemen in one fell swoop to seize the opportunity of these pikemen to gain a firm foothold, and as a result, they were fucked instead of stealing chickens. And even if it was a salvo back and forth, it would have little effect on the pikemen of the 5th Infantry Division. These pikemen were also in iron armor, and they had two thousand archers behind them who could shoot back, far longer than Kennu's horses.

The charge quickly turned into an anticlimactic tail, and the Jiannu cavalry, who had just rushed up and ran into the iron plate, was quickly defeated on the spot by the combination of pikemen and archers, leaving behind the corpse wolf Bèi to turn around and flee for his life. (To be continued.) )
