After shouting the slogan, the 2,000 horsetail army troops continued to stand quietly in two neat and huge phalanxes, armed with rifles, waiting for the officer's order.

Luo Chengcheng stood in front of the formation and gave a few orders to the heralds beside him, only to see the heralds take out two small flags and wave them a few times, and soon there were bursts of high-pitched drums in the phalanx.

"Knock knock"

"All of them, guns up!"

"Brush Brush Brush Brush"

As the drums sounded, there was a sound of brushing, and almost at the same time, the two thousand horsetail soldiers put their rifles on the ground to their chests.

Luo Cheng immediately pulled out the long knife on his waist and shouted: "All of them have fifty meters ahead, forward!" ”

"Bang Bang"

There were no superfluous words, no sensational mobilization, all the officers and men of the Mawei Army quietly marched towards the front with neat steps, and there was absolutely no superfluous sound except for the sound of neat footsteps. This advance of fifty meters is to better fight the cavalry, the distance of fifty meters is just right, and then there is a large number of corpses of the Qing army, just enough to block the charge of the cavalry. Otherwise, a cavalry rushed through the position of this corpse, and there were still fifty or sixty meters behind for the Qing cavalry to accelerate, which was not good.

Although the Mawei army was not as passionate as the cavalry of the Qing army on the opposite side. Nor did it have the same momentum as the cavalry advanced. But this quiet state of marching surprised Le Erjin and others on the opposite side. These people are also veterans who know the art of war. Before the Qing cavalry moved, his subordinates also led the soldiers to shout in unison, but that was to boost morale, after all, the big war was imminent, and this was also something that had to be done. But the Mawei Army's move was amazing, thousands of people in the whole army just moved quietly, and thousands of people only had the sound of footsteps in unison except for the officer's orders, what does this mean? They all know it.

"Hurry up, hurry up. If anyone drags his feet, Lao Tzu can't spare him! The front army array of the Mawei Army advanced fifty meters, and the position of the artillery battalion here should also be quickly adjusted, and the commander of the artillery battalion, Zhang Wenliang, also commanded the gunners to pull the artillery to the side front of the phalanx and began to arrange it nervously. The general cannon currently equipped by the Mawei Army, no, it should be said that all the artillery is the most advanced artillery of this era, compared with the old-fashioned artillery, it not only has the characteristics of high hardness and fast heat dissipation, but also is particularly light, a six-pounder cannon is only 600 catties, and after loading the wheels, a horse or a few gunners can be dragged all over the ground. This is good for following up with the army

"The distance of the enemy army is eight hundred meters, seven hundred meters"

"Six hundred meters, five hundred meters!"

"Fire!"

When it is heard at a distance of five hundred meters. Zhang Wenliang shouted, and his words just fell. Almost at the same time, a deafening blast of artillery rang out. A large cloud of smoke rose up, and one by one the whistling shells rolled and smashed forward.

At this time, not only Geng Jingzhong at the rear of the phalanx, but even Le Erjin and the others on the opposite side were watching the battle intently with a clairvoyant mirror.

In the era of cold weapons, the formation of the two armies is very important, in order to strengthen the impact force, the two sides often have to line up in a dense formation, and the cavalry of the Qing army is no exception, although the previous infantry army failed, but their cavalry is very confident that they can break through the enemy formation and defeat the Mawei army. The more than 1,000 Qing cavalry who rushed to the front under the command of their respective officers rushed to the phalanx of the Mawei Army, and in their opinion, these slow movements, and the poor infantrymen could only be defeated at the slightest touch of the cavalry.

But soon, something unexpected happened, and with a rumbling cannon fire, fifty solid shells flew towards them.

The Qing cavalry's charging formation was very densely arranged, which also became the best target for the artillerymen, only to see a solid bullet hit a cavalryman's chest at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, although the cavalryman was wearing leather armor, but in front of this eight-pound solid bullet was so fragile, wrapped in a high-speed solid bullet to break his fragile body into a huge blood hole. The solid bullet continued to leap forward, and along the way, it rampaged and knocked down three or four cavalrymen before running out of kinetic energy and finally landing on the ground. Fifty solid bullets tore a bloody path in the cavalry of the Qing army in a brutal manner.

Seeing those who were tearing apart the things that stood in front of it like a decrepit among the cavalry, the Qing cavalry at the forefront was afraid, and many Qing cavalry couldn't help but slow down and planned to stop attacking, but they were soon reprimanded by the officers next to them.

"Are you still my warriors of the Qing Dynasty? Look at what you have all become, hurry forward, it will take time for the horsetail artillery to reload after firing a round, our horses are fast, they can't fire a few times. Now hurry up and break through the enemy line! The officers shouted and urged the Qing cavalry next to them to continue the charge.

On the opposite side, the gunners of the Mawei Army took only half a minute to reload the shells.

"Fire!"

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

In Zhang Wenliang's earth-shattering shouting, a gunner lit the arquebus one after another, and fifty solid bullets flew over again.

This time it's closer. The gunners barely had to aim. Fifty solid bullets continued the situation just now. The Qing cavalry in front of him was beaten out of a blood-colored passage.

"Kill it, I want to see how those ponytails are still launched!"

At this time, Gu Niyinbu was also red-eyed, only two rounds of artillery bombardment, fifty solid bullets took the lives of at least one or two hundred Qing cavalry, the power of these solid bullets is too great, it is simply dead when touched, and crippled when rubbed. Calculated from the morning to the present. Guni Yinbu's subordinates have lost at least three hundred cavalry, and this loss makes Guni Yinbu feel a pain in his heart when he thinks about it, and there are only a few people under his command, which is worth a thousand. Angry people tend to lose their minds, and the same is true of Guni Yinbu today, who was already reprimanded in front of Le Erjin, and now wants to show himself even more. He waved the saber in his hand and desperately drove his men forward, he firmly believed that as long as he could rush to the damned horsetail army in front of him, these cowards who could only hide and shoot guns would definitely become fleeing lambs.

At this time. The Qing cavalry was only less than 400 meters away from the infantry of the Mawei Army, and saw that the Qing cavalry still rushed over regardless of casualties. Zhang Wenliang sneered and ordered loudly: "All artillery listen to the order, change grape shells!" ”

In fact, the grapeballs had already been loaded in the gunners, and the gunners also knew that the cavalry was fast, and they would have to replace them with grapeshotguns after two cannons.

"Fire!"

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

As Zhang Wenliang's loud voice rang out, the rumbling cannon rang out again, and when they fired, the Qing cavalry had already rushed to a distance of less than four hundred meters from them.

Bursts of white smoke rose up, and bags of net bags wrapped in small marbles were shot out of the gun chamber, and under the destruction of high temperature and high speed, the net bags immediately dispersed after more than 10 meters out of the gun chamber. The fifty small marbles the size of thumbs flew like raindrops towards the Qing cavalry in front.

This time, the salvo was different from the previous one, and the small marbles like scattered flowers of the Heavenly Maiden rained down like raindrops.

"Ahh

"Puff puff"

A small marble flying at high speed hit the head of one of the cavalrymen, and before the Qing cavalry had time to leave the last sentence in this world, the whole head was like a watermelon hit by a high-speed object, "Smack!" With a soft thud, his head burst open, and blood-red blood and white brains splattered in midair.

There are many people with the same fate as him, there are 2,000 small marbles fired from fifty eight-pounder general cannons, so many small marbles are scattered at the Qing cavalry who charge in a dense formation, even if they close their eyes, they will not fail, and nearly 100 cavalry were shot down and dismounted in this round of artillery bombardment alone, and the originally dense formation that rushed to the front suddenly became much more sparse.

Such a high casualty rate frightened these Qing cavalry, who had never encountered such a fierce artillery bombardment, and the Guniyinbu and Bhaktan, who were supervising the battle in the back, were also frightened by this terrible casualty, and more than 100 people died in one round of shelling, and the cavalry of their tribe together was not enough for a few shells. How is this different from the result of the previous shelling of the infantry phalanx? They wondered in their hearts. At that time, they didn't expect that the infantry phalanx had shield carts and giant shields, and the team was not as dense as their cavalry, the team was scattered, and their cavalry plus the war horse target was so big, it would be strange if they were not hit!

The two glanced at each other, and they couldn't care about proving themselves anymore, so they shouted almost in unison: "Retreat, retreat, retreat!" ”

In fact, there was no need for the two to order, the cavalry of the Qing army, which had been hit by artillery fire continuously, was on the verge of collapse at this time, watching the companions around them fall off their horses one by one by grapeballs, these so-called Zhenghong Banner Manchu warriors had already been frightened, and hundreds of cavalrymen who ran in the front turned their horses and ran around to both sides towards the way they came.

Seeing the Qing soldiers retreating, the Mawei army in front of the phalanx couldn't help cheering in unison.

"Wan Sheng!"

"The Ponytail Army wins!"

Zhang Wenliang smiled at the corner of his mouth and continued to order: "Keep firing, don't stop!" ”

As the artillery continued to move, fifty general cannons continued to blast towards the defeated Qing cavalry.

As soon as the Qing cavalry in front of them retreated, the cavalry behind naturally retreated, and they returned to their own camp under the orders of Guniyinbu and Bhaktan, and Guniyinbu and Bhaktan also came to Leerjin with their heads down and knelt down with shame on their faces.

"General, the last general has come to plead guilty!" (To be continued......)
