The gunpowder was filled with triangular nails, and the most terrifying thing was actually a second blow. At a distance of about two hundred meters, the war horses of the Eight Banners had already reached their maximum speed. At this time, the war horse stepped on the triangular nail, and it was absolutely painful. They will frantically throw their owners off their horses!

Falling under a horse during the charge, the consequences were very tragic. Even if you don't fall to your death immediately, you will be trampled into mud by the galloping horses behind you.

Due to the impact of the explosion, triangular nails were thrown everywhere. God knows where it will fly, and for the cavalry it is like entering a minefield.

In just one round of attacks, most of the 200 cavalry led by Hezhe were lost. Those who were lucky enough to rush out were all frightened, and let their horses lead them to death.

The galloping war horse was no less than sixty kilometers away, and the distance of a hundred meters made their brain circuits not complete their work.

"Ignition!" With Ao Canghai's order, the arquebus began to ignite.

Soon, the sound of "crackling" like firecrackers sounded. Three companies of seventy-five arquebuses shot projectiles at the same time!

In those years, the single hit rate of arquebuses was very low. But with a hundred arquebuses, this hit rate is terrifying.

Li Xiao saw that at a distance of one hundred meters. The stopping effect of the projectile is very obvious, and the armor of the Eight Banners is a piece of paper in front of the projectile.

In the Battle of the Hunhe River, Li Xiao saw the Eight Banners soldiers being shot by crossbow arrows several times more than once, and they could continue to fight with their sabers. But as long as they are hit by a projectile, the huge kinetic energy will immediately make them ineffective.

The training during these days looked fruitful, and the first platoon of soldiers finished shooting. The soldiers in the second row began to shoot, and there was another "crackling" sound. There were only a dozen Eight Banners soldiers who could sit on horses, waiting until the third row finished shooting. In front of the position, only dead men and dead horses were left all over the ground. Some of the wounded horses were still struggling helplessly, and the desolate wails were heard far and wide.

Until death, these cavalrymen with red flags did not rush to the distance where the bow and arrow could be fired.

That's the benefit of firearms, a good cavalryman is actually trained from a young age. Riding and archery is even more child's skill. This is also the reason why the cavalry of the Han people always can't beat the nomadic cavalry. People have been on horses since they were young, and you only learned to ride horses when you became a soldier, can this be the same?

But firearms can make a peasant who doesn't know martial arts train for a short time. Capable of killing and injuring cavalry who have been trained for many years, a small projectile can easily destroy a living life. It doesn't matter if this life is good or evil!

Man Gui opened his mouth wide and looked at the battlefield in front of him. In the blink of an eye, two hundred big men were killed like this? pinched his thigh hard, and then he knew that this was the fucking truth.

Ao Canghai was also a little unconvinced, he, like Man Gui, was a supporter of the theory of cavalry victory. Now, all the military common sense that has been cultivated over the years has turned into shit. with more than 200 men, against 200 cavalry. In the past, they were slaughtered no matter what, but now they have not suffered any damage, and the enemy army has been completely annihilated.

"Don't be stunned! The second group of trebuchets, elevation three! Put! Through the smoke of gunpowder, Li Xiao could see clearly that the infantry behind the cavalry had pressed up. The pace of these infantry has slowed down, and Li Xiao is afraid that they will not attack him. Arquebuses are good for positional warfare, but siege warfare is much worse.

"Everyone's loaded! Load! Ao Canghai, who reacted from his bewilderment, began to shout loudly at his musketeer to reload!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ……！ The trebuchet was launched again, and with green smoke it was thrown at the banner of the Han army led by Wei Daman.

The Han army flag is infantry, and they are not as fast as Hezhe. When Hezhe's army was destroyed, they were also just within range of trebuchets. Because of the distance, some shells actually exploded in the air above the heads of the infantrymen. Burning fuses don't matter, and God knows if they'll explode in the air or wait a while to hit the ground.

However, the lethality of the volley explosion is devastating. Countless triangular nails splashed out, and the sharp spikes were nailed into the heads of the Han army flag soldiers at once. These days, no one wears a steel helmet. The Han army flag is considered a second-class unit of the Houjin army, and it is good that they have a leather helmet on their heads.

Wei Daman looked at his own soldiers in surprise, and a triangular nail directly lifted his scalp, revealing the white brain and melon bones inside. He also has a triangular nail embedded in his face. The most fatal wound was actually in his neck, where a triangular nail cut his artery. The blood gushed out like a fountain, and I couldn't cover it with my hands.

In just one round of shooting, the Han army banner under his command damaged almost a hundred people. The wounded soldiers were all over the ground, rolling on the ground in pain.

Most of these were caused by shells that fell to the ground, and the triangular nails were pierced into the people's legs. Although not fatal, it made them ineffective.

"The first assembly is complete!" The soldiers of the artillery shouted loudly.

"Put!" Li Xiao let out a loud shout, and the first group of five trebuchets that had just been loaded were fired again.

"Run! Go back to the walled city! Just when Wei Daman was shouting loudly, wanting his soldiers to return to the camp. Disaster has struck again! Wei Daman saw a smoking thing fall to his feet, and the gunpowder twist was still spewing brilliant sparks.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ……！ There were five more huge explosions, and Wei Daman felt himself flying. As he struggled in the air, he found that he had no less than ten triangular nails in one of his arms!

After falling to the ground, he didn't feel pain, but he felt tired. His eyelids seemed to be filled with lead, and he tried to support them, but he couldn't. Finally, the eyelids closed. He closed his eyes forever!

In fact, there is no need for Wei Daman to say. The soldiers of the Han Banner were already running back, and they were now trying to enter the walled city. The shrewd, but fled into the field.

Li Xiao secretly hated, but it was a pity that he had no cavalry under his command. If there are cavalry, none of them will be able to run away at this time. In the future, if you have the opportunity, you must get more horses and organize a team of cavalry.

At the beginning, I got more than 200 horses in Liaoyang, but I had no choice but to abandon them when I got on the boat. No way, the ship is that big. You can't pretend to be a person and a war horse!

Now I can only watch the defeated Han army flag re-enter the walled city. However, Li Xiao was not worried, he was afraid that they would not go in. When you enter the walled city, you will die left and right!

"Let's go!" With a wave of his hand, the three infantry companies moved together, and the formation was very neat.

The soldiers of the artillery team, pushing the trebuchet with great difficulty.
