After five rounds of firing, the Runing musketeers standing in the front row stopped loading their ammunition and ran towards the back of the phalanx in an orderly manner.

"Gun array! Rejection! The commander of the Central Infantry Regiment shouted. The pikemen in the first few rows of the Runing military formation immediately bloomed in front of the phalanx.

However, the Runing army was ready, but the Qing cavalry did not rush. When they were forty or fifty paces ahead of the formation, they all reined in their horses, took off their bows, and began to shoot arrows.

The cavalry bows are all soft bows, the speed and liliang are not enough, and the current distance is far, so these Qing cavalry use vertical shooting. There is no need to pay attention to what is accurate, as long as you shoot in like this, you will always hit the Runing soldiers in a few phalanxes. However, this kind of archery, under the protection of the soldiers of Runing, is not lethal at all, at most it is just a kind of harassment.

But harassment is also annoying, which is better than mosquito bites! But the Runing army was also very helpless, and there was no way to fight back for a while, only the firearms commander was shouting to the musketeers: "Quickly reload the ammunition and run to the front to shoot." The inconsistent command of the Firearms Commander instead caused a wave of confusion among the Gunners.

Taking advantage of this time difference, the second cavalry of the Qing army rushed over again. This time they got closer, dismounted directly to a distance of thirty paces, and after standing still, drew their bows and arrows, dismounted and began to shoot on foot. This time, he used a longbow and heavy arrows, and it was a direct shot, and the power of the bow and arrows was great. The first team of Qing cavalry also stepped forward and dismounted, nine of the ten people shot arrows, and one led the horse to make a horse stake.

Thirty paces or so of dismounted and introspective shooting is not something that simple armor can resist. This time, King Qin's Runing Army only had more than 1,000 newly made plate armors, and they were mainly equipped with officers at all levels, so many of the Runing soldiers standing in the first row were wearing beggar armor with iron plates. This protective power can't resist the heavy arrows of the Qing army at such a close range.

Therefore, after the first bowstring sounded, the heavy arrows were shot out, and the soldiers of the Runing Army were immediately shot down in a large area. With the arrival of the third group of Qing cavalry, they also dismounted, rushed to the front, and fired the heavy arrows in their hands as much as they could. The casualties of the Runing army were even greater.

The Runing musketeers in the back finally arrived, they didn't care about the danger of being shot by bows and arrows, and rushed out of the cover and gap to load ammunition and prepare to return fire. But at this distance, the fire gun is compared with the bow and arrow. There is no advantage anymore, not to mention that the number of cavalry of the Qing army is far more than that of the firecrackers.

The fire guns were constantly roaring, the bowstrings were constantly vibrato, and the screams of the dead and wounded were incessant. At this moment, the gunners of the Runing Army under the effort. The shotgun was finally loaded, followed by a salvo.

This silenced the entire battlefield. But just now, in order to prevent the Qing cavalry from charging into battle. The artillery has already dragged the artillery back. So now the range of these shotguns is simply not enough to reach the Qing army shooters. So after being sluggish for a while and finding that they were safe and sound, the morale of the Qing army was greatly boosted, and they turned to shoot at those gunners one after another, nailing several gunners to the ground. Seeing that the shotguns had no effect, the remaining gunners braved the rain of arrows to pull the cannon desperately.

"Rush up. Assassination! Seeing that the situation was getting more and more unfavorable, several officers in the front row gave orders one after another. At this time, regardless of the uniform movement of the soldiers, the first thing is to eliminate these troublesome Qing army shooters first.

Under the loud orders of the officers, the soldiers of the Runing army in the first few rows raised their spears. Just braved the rain of arrows and rushed over in great strides. And in this distance of more than twenty paces, people constantly fell under the rain of arrows, but the gap that fell was immediately filled by those who followed behind.

All the Runing soldiers had a ruthlessness in their hearts: Nima's! Even if I die, I'll kill a few more than enough.

After a few rounds of rapid shooting, the shoulders and arms of those shooters of the Qing army were a little sore, and they needed to rest a little, but they didn't expect that the Runing army would actually raise their spears to kill. In the impression of the Qing soldiers, the Ming army should have collapsed in such a dense rain of arrows, and they were originally surprised by the tenacity of this Ming army, but now they were a little frightened when they saw that this Ming army dared to fight back.

But how far is the distance of a dozen steps? In the blink of an eye, the Runing Army rushed to those shooters. The current Runing soldiers didn't care about any standard movements, they all gritted their teeth and stabbed forward, stabbing while shouting: "Kill!" ”。

The shouting of killing is loud. Then there was a loud scream. The power of ranged weapons lies in distance, and if an enemy gets close, it is almost as good as being unarmed. The archers of the Qing army with bows and arrows fell to the ground one after another, and even the archers in the back took out scimitars and short spears from their horses, but compared to the assassination of the Runing army in unison, it did not play a role in resisting at all.

So the cavalry of the Qing army began to retreat, and everyone desperately got on their horses to flee farther. But in a hurry, many people could not find the reins in the hands of the horses, so they had to run on foot to the periphery.

And at this time, the firecrackers of the Runing Army finally raised their eyebrows. They kept shooting at the backs of the Qing soldiers, knocking them to the ground one by one. It looks like the situation is starting to improve.

But at this moment, the Qing troops who were whipping their horses and fleeing on foot fled to both sides, and they pulled out the gap in the middle, and the fourth group of Qing cavalry roared towards the middle of the Runing army through the gap.

At this time, the Runing soldiers who rushed out of the phalanx had no time to return to their own formation. All the musketeers began to shoot in a hurry, but many of them did not have time to reload their ammunition, and there was no unified order to form a salvo, let alone a round fire, so such free fire did not stop the Qing cavalry at all.

And those pikemen could only hurriedly form a thin gun formation on the spot, staring at the Qing cavalry getting closer and closer.

"Ahh

In the shouting, the cavalry of the Qing army crashed into this gun formation at once, although this gun formation injured many horses in the first row of the fourth team, but after all, this formation was too thin, and all the Runing soldiers who were hit were knocked out of the way. And by the time the cavalry of the second row rushed through, this gun formation in front of the phalanx no longer existed.

But this obstacle bought time for the phalanx, and the pikemen and axegunners in the first few rows of the phalanx bloomed with death guns. So when the Qing cavalry in the second row rushed up to the front, most of them were pierced by the straight spears. (To be continued......)
