However, no matter how advanced the tactics are, they also need matching weapons to exert their due power.

For example, the repeated firing tactics require excellent arquebuses to exert maximum power, and the maximum power can only be exerted in the era of flintlock pistols.

However, looking at the firearms held by the musketeers, Zhu Gaoyuan could only scratch his head vigorously.

Because these firearms are too chaotic, I saw that there were almost half of these firearms, such as three-eyed guns, four-eyed guns, and thunderbolt guns, and then ordinary bird guns.

In addition, there is a small amount of Lumi.

The Lumi Gun is actually a bird gun, but due to the exquisite craftsmanship, its range is longer than that of an ordinary bird gun, and its accuracy and penetration are also higher than that of an ordinary bird gun.

And these firearms are mixed with each other.

This is clearly not conducive to the use of firearms.

At that moment, Zhu Gaoyuan shouted sharply: "Listen." ”

More than three hundred musketeers looked at Zhu Gaoyuan blankly.

Zhu Gaoyuan said again: "Lu Mi Gong stands in the first team, and the rest of the fire guns retreat!" ”

A dozen Rumi men from the second and third teams rushed forward, but more musketeers left the first team, and there were less than fifty musketeers left in the first team.

Zhu Gaoyuan said again: "The second team of the bird, and the third team of the rest of the firecrackers!" ”

The remaining musketeers took sides again, and in the end nearly a hundred musketeers armed with ordinary birdguns remained in the second team, leaving nearly half of the 150 musketeers all on the third team.

Zhu Gao was far from using the large-interval formation of the arquebus era,

Instead, keep the musketeers close together to increase the density of fire.

After regrouping the formation, Zhu Gaoyuan turned around and turned his gaze to Taniguchi.

On the grassland of the valley mouth, the cavalry of the Gongtu Department has spread out to the two wings, setting up a wide cavalry horizontal formation.

More than 200 cavalrymen, lined up, with horses' hooves and manes flying, unexpectedly showed the monstrous momentum of thousands of troops and horses, and Zhu Gaoyuan inevitably felt palpitations.

Looking back at the eunuchs and Jingying soldiers behind him, he was really panicked.

Although they won two battles in a row after the siege, these eunuchs and Beijing soldiers were obviously far from the elite of a hundred battles, and they were not even veterans.

It's still just a rabble.

"Don't panic, I'm with you!"

Zhu Gaoyuan took a step forward and shouted loudly.

The shouting calmed the musketeers a little.

Yes, the emperors are all in front, what are they to panic about?

The cavalry of the Gongtu Division slowly approached, and began to charge when the distance was about a thousand meters, but due to the terrain of the valley mouth, the cavalry that had been lined up was forced to squeeze into the middle.

Soon, the two sides were less than 100 steps apart.

A hundred steps was already the effective range of the Mongol horn bow.

[Note: Ming Dynasty 1 step = 1.6 meters, 100 steps = 160 meters]

"Steady, don't panic!" Zhu Gaoyuan pulled down the mask and raised the waist knife high, "Don't let go of the gun, stabilize the ......"

Looking at the Mongol cavalry pouring into the valley like mountains and seas, many musketeers subconsciously shrank back, but looking at their companions who stayed where they were, and then at the emperor standing outside the parapet, they silently came back and raised their muskets again, aiming the muzzle of the black hole at the surging Mongolian cavalry in front.

Directly ahead, the Mongol cavalry swept over like a tidal wave.

After entering the hundred paces, the Mongol cavalry drew their bows and arrows and began the first round of throwing.

The Mongolian horn bow is the most typical oriental recurve bow, with exquisite craftsmanship, long range and great lethality, using light arrows to throw up to 100 paces away, and heavy arrows can break through armor within 30 steps.

Soon, the first wave of arrows poured down.

Zhu Gaoyuan immediately raised his right hand and covered the door with his armguard.

It's just a knee-jerk reaction, and it's actually a bit redundant.

Because the light arrows of the Mongolian cavalry could not shoot through the mountain armor at all, and the hood also had face armor, which was enough to form a comprehensive protection for Zhu Gaoyuan without leaving dead ends.

But the eunuchs and the soldiers of the Beijing camp behind him only wore cotton armor.

Cotton armor has better protection against firearms than iron armor, but it is not as good as iron armor against arrows.

The sharp arrows concentrate the powerful potential energy in one point, and it can still easily shoot through the thick cotton armor and cause damage, and if it hits the front door, it is enough to kill on the spot.

The rain of arrows fell, and a continuous scream immediately sounded inside the parapet.

At least a dozen or more musketeers fell in pools of blood.

There were also quite a few musketeers who were shot but not a big problem.

"Don't panic, hold steady!" Zhu Gaoyuan continued to yell loudly, "Steady, steady, steady......"

Zhu Gaoyuan was also hit by several arrows on his body, but they were all bounced off by Shan Wenjia and did not cause any damage to Zhu Gaoyuan.

Maybe it was Zhu Gaoyuan's leading soldiers, maybe it was the two previous victories that gave confidence, or maybe it was because there was a five-foot-high parapet wall, in short, the eunuchs and Beijing soldiers lined up behind the parapet wall miraculously did not collapse, and more than 300 people stood still from beginning to end, standing firmly behind the parapet.

Such a scene greatly shocked the civilian officials watching the battle on the mountainside.

In the woods halfway up the mountainside, Meng Zhaoxiang, Wu Linzheng and the others looked at Zhu Gaoyuan's back, a little distracted, this is really the mean and suspicious emperor they are familiar with?

Why does it feel a little strange?

Wang Wei, the review of the Hanlin Academy, said even more ghostly: "You say, when Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Cheng Zuwen personally led the army to fight on the battlefield, was it also like today? ”

Meng Zhaoxiang and others instinctively rejected, comparing Jinshang to Gaozu and Chengzu? It's over.

But if you think about it carefully, even if you are not as good as Gaozu and Chengzu today, you should be not far behind Xuanzong.

As a result, almost all civil officials were unstoppable, knowing that this was the case, and that when the Songshan War was in place, they should have let the Holy Emperor drive the expedition in person, and also chased and suppressed the thieves, and they should also let the Holy Lord personally conquer.

If that were the case, the world would have been peaceful long ago.

The civilian officials were stunned, and the Mongol cavalry had already shot two waves of arrows.

After two waves of arrows, the Mongol cavalry had approached thirty paces away, and they replaced their heavy arrows.

At this time, Zhu Gaoyuan didn't dare to be careless, because within thirty steps, Shan Wenjia might also be pierced by heavy arrows, and at that moment Zhu Gaoyuan raised his waist knife forward and shouted at the same time: "First team, let's go!" ”

With Zhu Gaoyuan's shout, more than 40 musketeers of the first team pulled the trigger of the snake shaft one after another, and the musketeers of the first team all used Lumi guns, which were highly accurate.

"Woohoo!" With a continuous loud bang,

The Mongol cavalry in the front row, who were about to fire heavy arrows, suddenly turned on their backs, and at least ten or more Mongol cavalry fell off their horses, with a hit rate of almost 30 percent.

At a distance of thirty paces, the arquebus is about the same as the hit rate.

"Second team!" Zhu Gaoyuan drew his knife again and snorted, "Ready...... Put! ”

Less than two seconds later, the second team of musketeers also stepped forward to line up and buckle the snake rod machine.

The second team of musketeers used ordinary bird guns, although not as accurate as the Lumi guns, but more numerous.

With the continuous loud bang, the Mongol cavalry fell more than twenty horses, and the formation became more chaotic, but the remaining Mongol cavalry was already approaching within twenty paces.

Close enough to see the blood stains on the faces of the Mongol cavalry.

"Whoosh!" Several heavy arrows shot towards Zhu Gaoyuan at the same time.

Zhu Gaoyuan subconsciously used his waist knife to block and block several of the heavy arrows, but there was still a heavy arrow that creaked through the gap on the right side of his face armor, and the arrow brushed against his cheek.

Zhu Gaoyuan suddenly felt a hot and sharp pain in his cheeks.

Forcibly enduring the sharp pain of drilling into the heart, Zhu Gaoyuan continued to draw the knife and howled: "The third team, let's go!" ”

The third team of musketeers used three-eyed guns, four-eye guns, and thunderbolts, which were even less accurate, and without snake rods, they needed to use disconnected shots that ignited first and then aimed, and their accuracy was even worse, and once the distance exceeded twenty paces, their hit rates became terrible.

But now the distance is less than twenty paces.

And the multi-barreled gun also has its own advantages, that is, the large quantity.

Because each gun can be loaded with two or three buckshots, and the sum of the three guns is eight or nine.

More than 150 three-eyed guns, four-eyed guns and thunderbolts are more than 1,000!

Thousands of lead bullets were fired intensively, and at this time the Mongol cavalry was already approaching to within twenty paces, and its hit rate and lethality can only be described in two words, that is, - ferocious!

With the sound of a huge release, dozens of Mongolian cavalry who rushed in front fell to the ground in an instant, not only the cavalry on horseback, but also the war horse was also blurred with flesh and blood, and the Mongolian cavalry that followed behind was also knocked down one after another, so that the cavalry formation of the Gongtu Department finally fell into complete chaos and could no longer rush up.

In fact, the cavalry of the Arch Rabbit Department no longer had the courage to charge again.

Because the loud sound of firing guns, the smoke that filled the entire mountain pass, and the bloody corpses of their companions had destroyed the psychological defense of every cavalry of the Gongtu tribe.

They think it's a trap.

These Han people are too cunning and always make people unguardable.

Therefore this battle cannot be fought again, and we must leave this valley quickly.

One of the Mongolian cavalrymen fell in front of Zhu Gaoyuan and got up to run.

But it was too late, Zhu Gaoyuan caught up with him with an arrow step and cut it off with his waist knife.

The sharp blade slashed lightly through the neck of the Mongolian cavalry, and when he heard a thud, the blood splattered, and the Mongolian cavalry fell to the pool of blood with his throat in his throat and convulsed.

Zhu Gaoyuan had fought and seen blood.

So there was no psychological discomfort when I saw this scene.

Killing the Mongolian cavalry with a knife, Zhu Gaoyuan said again: "Blow the trumpet, the whole army will attack!" ”

"There is a decree in the Holy Spirit, blow the trumpet, and the whole army will attack!" Accompanied by Wang Chengen's sharp shouting, the loud swan sound also sounded in the valley, and the next moment, the woods on both sides of the valley sounded like a tide.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of Ming cavalry rushed out from both sides.
