I only heard the dull sound of horses' hooves coming from the city, which said that thousands of troops and horses had obviously passed, but it would definitely not be less than fifteen hundred horses, and there were quite a few heavy cavalry among them.

For Mang Gutai, who is extremely familiar with war horses, he has absolute confidence in listening to sound and distinguishing the situation, even if it is separated by a thick city wall.

"There are cavalry in the Guanning army? Or heavy riding? His heart chuckled, and he hurriedly wanted to issue a military order to remind him to go toe-to-toe with the defenders of Jinzhou, but he was already a little late.

His inference was very correct, and at the moment when the drawbridge was about to land, the first war horse rushed out of the city gate, and at the moment when the drawbridge hit the ground, he could step on the two front hooves of the war horse.

It's like a war horse stepping on this suspension bridge to the ground, making it full of majesty.

The knight on the horse, dressed in black uniform, seemed to drown out the noise of the battlefield, and like an arrow off the string, he stepped over the drawbridge with two clicks, and then rushed straight towards the enemy line.

They were followed by a long line of heavily armored cavalry, small in number, about a hundred, but the sudden appearance at the height of the battle was enough to surprise and even panic.

They were tasked with storming the city, and when they could break out of the gates, they plunged into the enemy's ranks.

Their appearance is different from that of the heavy armored cavalry of the Tang and Song dynasties, and the biggest difference is the fire gun in their hands.

While charging, he had already poured the two iron sand bullets in the gun pipe into the enemy piles in front of him or on the left and right, and in an instant, many Jurchen soldiers who were caught off guard, whether they were foot soldiers or cavalry, were all bombarded on their backs.

After the iron sand bullets were fired, they did not take time to reload, but casually threw the fire guns that the Ming army regarded as treasures on the ground.

Then he took out his spear, held it flat under his ribs with his palms and elbows, and rushed straight and straight towards the oncoming Jurchen cavalry.

On the battlefield, the narrow road meets, and the brave are invincible.

And when the courage of both sides is almost the same, who has a stronger defense and who has a stronger momentum becomes an important factor in determining the victory of the battle.

Compared with the Jurchen cavalry who rushed to meet the battle, the Guanning heavy cavalry who rushed from the Drum Tower through the North Street to the north gate of the town, although they were not superior in numbers, were obviously superior.

As soon as they made contact, this pure light Niulu cavalry was instantly suppressed and retreated, and the speed of defeat was far from being able to offset the sharp impact of Guan Ning's heavy cavalry hundreds.

From Manggutai's point of view, this engagement was almost fixed in three extremely brief moments - engagement, defeat, and then collapse, the collapse of one's own cavalry.

And the collapse is always accompanied by killing and blood.

Seeing the elites of the two blue flags die so easily, Mang Gutai's eyes had completely turned bloodthirsty blood red from rage.

Once upon a time, this was the standard configuration of the Jurchen army for the Ming army!

But now, how can it be ...... How can it be the other way around?

As for those serf soldiers, they were powerless to fight back in the face of the trump card created by the Guanning army, the Guanning Iron Cavalry and Heavy Armored Cavalry.

Not to mention that they were in the middle of the charge, even the surrounding people cried and retreated frantically, preferring to be attacked by the sabers of the warring team rather than to be swept away by the dark heavy armor.

Guanning Iron Ride, well-deserved!

Although the number of this cavalry is small, it is like the soul of the Guanning army, as soon as it appears, the defenders at the head of the city are thunderous with joy, and they even beat the war drums of attack to cheer for them.

Seeing that the comrades-in-arms who replaced defense with offense were so brave, their morale was greatly boosted, and they defended the city even harder.

All of a sudden, the cannons roared, the firecrackers roared, and the rolling stones and trees smashed down the city, forcibly stopping wave after wave of Jurchen infantry riders who wanted to swarm to the north gate of the town.

The battlefield has become more stale, more confusing, and more rapidly changing because of the addition of the Guanning Iron Cavalry Heavy Armored Cavalry.

Overall, the Jurchen Manggultai army still had the numerical advantage and strategic initiative, but they were caught in a bitter battle at the edge of the city wall, and the corner of the city gate was in danger of being torn apart.

Mang Gutai looked up to the sky and roared, and hurriedly issued a military order to encircle and suppress it.

And almost at the same time as he issued the order to encircle and suppress the army, many Jurchen infantry cavalry spontaneously flocked to this heavy cavalry team of 100 people in Niulu, obviously wanting to strangle it with the advantage of numbers.

However, they were followed by a full 1,400 Guanning iron cavalry and light armored cavalry, closely guarding the flanks of the heavy cavalry, with firearms and crossbows and swords in their hands, cooperating with them to pierce the heart of the enemy formation.

The furious Mang Gutai finally stopped hiding his clumsiness, and with a wave of his hand, he sent out all the two blue flag white-armored cavalry of the two Niulu who were waiting behind him.

In Manggutai's irascible and simple mind, the white-armored cavalry is one of the Jurchen warriors, and its origin is the owner of the thirteen sets of armor when the Mandate of Heaven Khan raised his army, and it is actually the elite of the elite.

Don't say that one enemy is ten, that is, one enemy is a hundred.

Looking at Liaodong, there is not a single thing that the white-armored cavalry of Niu Lu can't solve.

If there is, then add another cow.

However, this time, the white-armored cavalry, which had won a hundred battles, did not try a hundred things.

I saw that the wolf tooth arrows of the white-armored cavalry did not cause substantial damage to those Guanning heavy cavalry who were wrapped in a thick layer of armor even on their war horses.

On the contrary, after a round of wolf-tooth arrows, the two sides were extremely close, and they could even feel the warm breath of each other's war horses.

The heavy cavalry quickly switched the spear in his right hand to his left, then stretched his free right hand between his hips, pulled out a short firebolt, and pulled the trigger.

With the sound of "boom", a full hundred iron sand bullets roared out, giving the oncoming white-armored cavalry a head-on blow.

Nearly a hundred fierce cavalrymen fell off their horses in response, and their sturdy bodies were quickly trampled into pulp by the galloping war horses, which made Mang Gutai in the distance jaw-dropping, unbelievable, and extremely worried at the same time.

"This ...... What's going on? ”

And no matter what he thought, these short firebolts, both in terms of appearance and internal skills, still seemed extremely rough.

Finally announced to the world that Da Ming has technically completed the transformation from arquebuses to flintlock pistols.

The next step is to complete the technical excellence and the upgrading of the army's equipment.

The Guanning Army, which had a very close relationship with Sun Yuanhua, was the first Ming army equipped with flint and short firearms.

As far as Chongzhen knows, this is a technological breakthrough made by a local official named Bi Maokang of the Ming Dynasty, who was originally a salt patrol in Shandong and has now been absorbed into the Firearms Bureau by Sun Yuanhua, in the "Illustrated Description of Weapons" he is writing.

Moreover, he did not use thundermercury technology as Shigezhen preconceived, but adopted a rather simple "flint + steel" approach.

That is, flint is used to quickly strike steel or iron, and the iron particles with sparks are excited to ignite the gunpowder.

This spark is undoubtedly extremely small, so small that it can even be ignored, but it is enough for the latest type of iron sand bomb that is easily ignited with gunpowder prepared by Shigezhen himself.

Come to think of it, did the toy revolver gunpowder gun that the lame adoptive father bought for him at the commissary still use the risk of corrosion?

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Chongzhen felt relieved.

To a certain extent, this flint device undoubtedly draws on the mortise and tenon technology and the principle of bracket in the ancient Chinese civilization, and is another inheritance and development of the ancient Chinese civilization.

This shows that Huaxia's firearms design and processing technology is indeed in the leading position in the world in this era, and the strong foundation of firearms manufacturing and rich experience in the use of firearms have prompted the Ming Dynasty to have the advantage of being a latecomer in the study of flintlock pistols.

As for Manggutai's worries, and even "the old Manchurian habit of taking the bow and horse as the top priority, and doing everything is self-controlled", in the face of the development of the times and technological innovation, it will become the personal will of the mantis arm as a car.

Just like the fierce white-armored cavalry, they can't resist the short-range shots of the flintlock.

Naturally, there was no reason to discard the precious flintlock firebolt, and after the Guanning Iron Cavalry Heavy Cavalry finished shooting, they quickly inserted it back into its original position, and then quickly returned the spear in their left hand to their right hand.

Kan Kan completed this series of actions, and Guan Ning's iron cavalry and heavy armored hundred horsemen collided head-on with the surging Jurchen white-armored cavalry, and then fiercely strangled together.

It was a real hand-to-hand encounter, with no bells and whistles, and no gaps in the flickering and maneuvering.

Some simply fire at full speed, clench their weapons, and scream or be silent to put the other party to death.

In just an instant, many of the people in white armor and black armor were picked off their horses, and in the blink of an eye, they were trampled into pulp by the hooves of the enemy or their comrades.

The weight of thousands of troops, even the thick black armor, can't resist.

The white-armored cavalry had the advantage in numbers, so they quickly wrapped the Guanning heavy cavalry inside, making the swift and thunderous Guanning heavy cavalry seem to be stuck in the quagmire, and finally began to become sluggish.

However, even so, Guan Ning Heavy Cavalry is still like a dark steel torrent, always maintaining a courageous posture, impartial, even if the speed becomes slow, it will only move towards the set goal.

On the flanks of the heavy cavalry were 1,400 light cavalry, who were as brave and fearless as the heavy cavalry, helping the heavy cavalry to share the pressure of the white cavalry while resisting the rest of the Jurchen soldiers from all sides.

Guan Ning Iron Cavalry, as soon as it appeared, it was a very shining debut.

Let the Jurchens, who are proud of their cavalry, suffer a big loss.

However, Manggutai had 20,000 slave soldiers and 10,000 serf troops.

The majestic and extremely thick military formation was by no means something that 1,500 Guanning iron cavalry who were not afraid of death could penetrate and then shake.
