The soldiers of the Ming army could not really see the movement on the Haihan position from afar, and saw that the wall had opened several gaps, and thought that the other party was going to go out to meet the battle, so they waited cautiously for a long time but there was no movement, so they had to continue to march.

The Haihan artillery had already calibrated the firing range two days before the start of the battle, and made a number of concealed distance markings outside the position, so that there was no need to observe and calculate the sights in the battle, as long as they waited for the opponent to step into the pre-calculated fire strike range.

Chen Yixin held up the binoculars and confirmed that the Ming infantry had entered the area where the artillery was pre-targeted, and then decisively gave the order to open fire. Although the artillery deployed by the military to the mining area this time is all small-caliber guns, when equipped with grapeshot, which is specially designed to deal with dense formations, this small cannon is equivalent to a large-caliber shotgun, and even the lethality of a single gun is no less than that of dozens of muskets.

Every cannon sound on the Haihan position was accompanied by a whole row of Ming troops screaming and falling to the ground. The wooden shields covered with copper skin in their hands were okay to block ordinary bows and arrows, but the grapeshot fired by the artillery could never be stopped, and the projectiles the size of soybeans flew all over the world, beating the shields and the Ming soldiers hiding behind them like a hornet's nest.

Naturally, the infantry on Haihan's side was not idle, and after the artillery began to fire, the soldiers immediately replenished the guns of the Ming army, which had lost the protection of their shields. Under the combined blow of gun and artillery fire, it dealt a heavy blow to the Ming army in a very short period of time. Of course, this inevitably exposed Haihan's true strength to the Ming army, and made the opponent realize how terrible the enemy they faced this time was.

The guns rang out just now, Guo Xingning's eyes glared out, although he also knew that the Haihan people would be very strong, but he really didn't expect that the other party would actually deploy several artillery pieces on the position. The Ming army was caught off guard, and the casualties caused by this artillery bombardment were also quite heavy. Even with a conservative estimate, Guo Xingning believes that the casualties should have risen to the triple digits.

Although there were also a few Franc cannons in the Ming army's formation, the infantry in front had already been routed before they could be transported to the firing line to set up gun emplacements just now. The artillery lacking cover naturally did not dare to come forward to fight on their own, so they could only follow the rout and drag the artillery back into the formation.

Guo Xingning's current situation is a little embarrassing, in less than half a day, the attack has been frustrated one after another, and the combatable soldiers under his command have lost more than one percent, but they have not been able to reap many actual results, only destroying some of the fortifications on the periphery of the opponent's position, and even the hair of the Haihan people has not been touched. Of course, Guo Xingning could urge his subordinates to continue to attack the Haihan position, but he now has no better means to counter the Haihan people, and if he forcibly attacks, the consequences will most likely be even heavier casualties.

Guo Xingning also couldn't figure it out, he had all the horses in his hands, and the artillery assisted, all of them were veterans who had experienced the battle formation, it stands to reason that he should be able to pack up a group of armed businessmen, and before he came, he had even thought about how to accept the surrender of the Haihan people, and then let them get out of Fushan County, but he didn't expect that the first battle in this wilderness would be bloody. Whether to continue to fight, or to retreat to preserve strength, Guo Xingning fell into a dilemma for a while.
