Bai Yintu and Hong Chengchou, who were watching the battle in the back formation, breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's dangerous!" Hong Chengchou said in his heart, the main force of the Qing army led by Sony almost collapsed the Ming army's Divine Fire Crow, but fortunately it finally survived, it seems that Sony still has some real skills.

I don't know if there are any other tricks in the Ming army next?

If the Ming army has more tricks, can Sony withstand it?

Bai Yintu's hanging heart also fell back into his stomach, but he said disdainfully: "How can you get our Qing soldiers? Then it's the turn of the Qing artillery, huh!"

Hong Chengchou didn't refute, but said in his heart, isn't there no artillery in the Ming army?

The red-coated artillery of the Ming army could even fight farther, and it was still difficult for the Qing soldiers to take advantage of the artillery battle.

Hong Chengchou was thinking about it, and the front of the hollow phalanx of the Ming army rose up with clouds of white smoke.

Seeing this, Hong Chengchou suddenly felt a pang in his heart, this is really the more afraid of something, the more he comes, he was still worried that the Ming army would be the first to fire, and the Ming army really took the first shot.

……

When Jiannu advanced to only about 1,500 steps away from the Ming army's front, the seven field artillery brigades in the Ming army's formation, with a total of 630 4-inch field guns, fired the first shot.

The maximum range of a 4-inch field gun is 1,500 steps.

At this point, there is no need to hide it anymore.

Therefore, as soon as Jiannufu entered the distance of 1,500 steps, the seven field artillery brigades of the Ming army fired at the same time, accompanied by the sound of artillery, 630 solid iron bullets weighing 17 pounds carried a huge scream that seemed to be able to tear the air, and smashed overwhelmingly into the Jiannu army formation in front.

In just a dozen seconds, a cannonball landed in the open space in the middle, plowed a series of grooves in the ground overgrown with weeds, and at the same time splashed rows of dirt and broken grass.

But more shells fell on Jiannu's military formation.

With the crisp sound of Kacha Kacha, Jiannu's side van shattered hundreds in an instant.

On the wall of the partial van, which stretched for nearly seven kilometers from south to north, at least hundreds of gaps immediately appeared, all of which were broken by the Ming army's 4-inch field artillery.

The Eight Banners Han Army, who hid behind the side van, also suffered many casualties.

It's just that because it is the maximum range, the solid iron bullet does not have much kinetic energy left after penetrating the front guard plate of the partial van, and it is exhausted after barely penetrating one or two rows of Eight Banners Han Army, and it fails to penetrate more.

It is even more impossible to penetrate the formation of more than twenty rows of infantry in a row.

But even so, it still surprised Pseudo Shun and Jiannu.

……

"How is that possible?" Song Xiance exclaimed in a gaffe, "Can Minggou's Hongyi cannon hit so far? I didn't have dazzles, did I? It can't be!"

。

Because of the iron-clad fact here, the range of the Ming army's Hongyi cannon has skyrocketed, isn't this what it used to be? What Gu Junen said is all the truth, this is really irrefutable.

Swallowing his saliva, Song Xiance said, "It seems that this battle still has to be fought."

"Well, there should still be a fight to be fought." Li Zicheng also made a new assessment of this battle, feeling that the Ming army was still inevitably defeated in the end, but it would definitely not be easy for Jiannu to win.

It's going to be a close fight, and there's a good show to watch.

……

Sony is also a little incredulous.

"Minggou's red-coated cannon can hit so far?"

Kupilon and Sukh Saha were also very surprised, and said, "I'm afraid this distance is 1,500 steps, but the red-coated cannons of the Ming army can hit 1,500 steps away?"

"We are only a little more than a thousand steps away!"

"Only the red-coated cannon can hit more than a thousand steps."

"That's right, like camel cannons and furlong cannons, they can shoot at a maximum of 800 paces."

"The range of the Tiger Squat Cannon is even closer, only less than five hundred steps!"

The generals of the Eight Banners on the lookout looked at each other for a moment, which was troublesome.

The artillery of the Ming army could hit them, but their artillery could not hit the Ming army.

How do you get it now? Advance against the artillery fire of the Ming army, or withdraw to the range of the Ming army's artillery and then find a way? But the question is, is there any other way? Sending cavalry to charge? Will it work?

The cavalry was fast, but the Ming artillery was also protected by infantry.

In the first battle of Guting Town, 80,000 cavalry could not defeat the 8,000 Ming cavalry who dismounted.

Immediately, a military general proposed, "General, this is not going to work, let's stop moving forward first, right?"

"Stop?" Sonny said coldly, "Waiting for Minggou to bomb us with a divine fire crow?"

Until now, the Divine Fire Crows in the Ming Army's array are still fighting in rows, and how many waves are there now? Fifth wave or sixth wave? Anyway, it doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon.

Another military general said: "But if you go further, you will not only be bombed by Minggou's divine fire and crows, but also be hit by Minggou's red-clothed cannons, the casualties of the Qing soldiers are too great, and it doesn't matter if the Eight Banners Manchuria, but the Eight Banners Han Army, the Eight Banners Mongolia, the Green Camp and the Outer Domains Mongolia may not be able to withstand it?" Not to mention Lian Yong, he will collapse ironcladly!"

"No matter how big the casualties are, we must move forward bravely!"

"Our Qing soldiers have no way out!"

Sony still has some skills and makes decisions in an instant.

In the battlefield duel, the most taboo is the two ends of the first rat and hesitation.

In this regard, Sony has done a good job of deciding whether it is right or wrong.

"Pass my general's order, the Eight Banners Han Army will change to the second team, and the Green Battalion will be changed to the first team!"

Such specific commands cannot be passed on by Daxu, but only with the help of fast horses.

Sony's military orders were quickly passed down, and the sequence of Eight Banners Manchuria, Eight Banners Mongolia, Outer Domain Mongolia and Lian Yong remained unchanged, while the Eight Banners Han Army slowed down slightly and became the second team.

The Green Battalion accelerated forward and walked to the front row.

The Green Battalion had a great time walking because of the artillery carts.

The gun carriage of the Tiger Squat Cannon is okay, but it is actually not heavy.

However, the gun carriages of the Francophone cannon and the redcoat cannon were very cumbersome.

Among them, there are about 400 red-coated cannons, about 500 Franco-cannons, and as many as 1,000 tiger squat cannons, in addition to 800 camels, all of which carry camel cannons on their backs.

Sony's thinking is still very clear, that is, to approach the Ming army's large array as soon as possible.

Wait until it is within the range of the Qing artillery, and then use the green battalion to engage in an artillery battle with the Ming artillery.

The Eight Banners Han Army, the Eight Banners Manchuria, the Eight Banners Mongolia, the Outer Domains Mongolia and Lian Yong also need to follow up and protect the Green Battalion.

If the Ming army's horse infantry army can't shrink into a hole, then first use the artillery of the green battalion to crush the artillery of the Ming army, and then drive the Eight Banners Han Army and the Eight Banners Manchuria to attack, and then concentrate the 40,000 elites of the two yellow flags and two white flags from the east and west

Launched a fierce surprise attack on the main formation of the Chinese army at the same time towards the Ming army.

As long as the Ming army's Chinese army is defeated, this battle will be over.

If the Ming army used the Mabu army to attack the green camp, the Eight Banners Han Army, the Eight Banners Manchuria, the Eight Banners Mongolia and the Outer Domains Mongolia launched a-for-tat counterattack against the Ming army's Mabu army, and at the same time concentrated the elites of the two yellow flags and two white flags to raid the Ming army's Chinese army from the east and west.

That's pretty much what Sony's tactical thinking is.

In my heart, there really is nothing wrong with this idea.

Arguably the best tactical option of the flintlock era.

The lobster soldiers of the other world are generally the same tactics.

But there was one of the most troublesome places for the Qing army, and that was the range of firearms.

Because the range of the Qing army's red-coated cannons was only 1,000 steps, the range of the Franc machine gun and camel cannon was only 7 or 800 steps, and the range of the tiger squat cannon was less than 500 steps.

Therefore, the green battalion had to continue to move forward in the face of the artillery fire of the Ming army.

Only within 1,000 steps of the Ming army's phalanx can the red-coated cannon stop firing, and the Franc machine gun and camel cannon must be within 700 steps.

As for the tiger squat artillery, it is estimated that it will not be able to catch up with the artillery battle.

The Qing army walked less than fifty steps, and white smoke rose from the Ming army on the opposite side.

Then there was another scream of "hunting", as if it could tear the air apart.

Then, another row of shells fell into the queue of the green battalion, but the queue of the green battalion was not as dense and sparse as the Eight Banners Han Army, so more than half of the shells fell into the gap, only dragging out deep grooves on the ground, and only a few shells hit the artillery carriage of the green battalion, which instantly smashed the artillery carriage made of wood, and the cannon mounted on the car also fell to the ground, and the green battalion that followed the artillery carriage also fell to the ground.

Several camels were also hit by shells and immediately collapsed in pools of blood, wailing.

Immediately there was a wail on the battlefield, it was the wail of hundreds of green battalion soldiers.

Seeing this, Sony breathed a sigh of relief, such a loss can still be beared.

According to the frequency of 50 paces to withstand one shot, the red-coated cannons of the green battalion can set up cannons to counterattack after receiving 10 cannons, and after taking fifteen cannons, the Franco cannons and camel cannons can also set up cannons to counterattack.

At that time, the Qing soldiers could crush the Ming army with the numerical superiority of artillery.

For the artillery of the Green Battalion, Sony has always had great confidence, and this is the confidence to fight.

Because since Huang Taiji formed Wuzhen Chaohe, the artillery of the Qing Dynasty has never disappointed them, and this time will definitely be no exception, and it will definitely crush the artillery of the Ming army.
