The three rows fired only one round of arrows, and immediately crouched down to prepare, their spears still embedded in their shields, and the front was densely packed like hedgehogs.

And the infantry battalion behind them was still using bows and arrows.

"Shoot." With the officers waving loudly.

Collapse, collapse, collapse, the sound of collapse in the air continued, the Ming army entered a state of free fire, arrows flew like rain, and everyone could shoot a few rounds as soon as possible.

Especially against the front of the charge, try to weaken the strength of the first wave of cavalry.

The more shots in front, the weaker the cavalry was to storm the Ming army's large array.

The Shahru soldiers and horses in front of them were brought down from time to time, and the horses and cavalry were killed and wounded everywhere, starting from within eighty paces, the road was full of fallen cavalry and war horses, but they were still the same, and many people shouted what to rush forward.

They charged faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, they were within twenty paces of the Ming army.

The war horses roared one after another, and some of the war horses were a little panicked when they saw the rows of spears in front of them.

But with the knight's skill, most of the horses did not hesitate.

Some of the cavalry bent down directly, reaching out to cover the eyes of the horses.

In the next moment, boom, a group of cavalry crashed into the big shield of the Ming army.

They didn't realize it in the distance before, but when they got closer, they found that the big shield of the Ming army was really big and high.

The three rows of Ming army shields in front are all one meter and forty high, standard rectangular, and after being erected to the ground, they are like a low city wall.

The steel spears on top of the large shield were densely packed.

Fluttering, the war horses screamed, the cavalry screamed, countless war horses fell on the spot, and a small number of knights reined in their horses, intending to cross the spear array and jump into the Ming army.

The big shield of the Ming army has been tested, up to one meter four, the normal tall stallion, can jump over in high-speed running, if it is a jog, it is more difficult to jump over, the Mongolian and other ethnic horses around the Ming Dynasty are relatively short, almost difficult to jump over.

Horses from Central and West Asia are relatively tall and can easily jump over.

However, the Ming army added a steel gun to it, and after the steel gun was forty-five degrees upward, the interception height in front of the shield reached one meter seven upwards.

That's how hard it is to cross the heights.

Most of the war horses at the scene crashed directly into the steel spears or large shields.

There were also a small number of steel spears and shields that rushed into the Ming army's formation.

The scene was chaotic, with many shields knocked down in the first row, spears knocked off, a few knocked out in the second row, and barely moving in the third row.

The Ming army did a good job of protection, the first three rows were all heavy infantry, and only a few were injured, and most of them immediately stood up: "Kill." ”

Whoosh, a short axe flew out, and then raised the spear and stabbed forward.

To fight against the Elite Cavalry Charge, just block the route of their charge.

Shaharu's 10,000 elites rushed up, were killed and wounded by the Ming army's arrow rain, and finally rushed to the front of the three rows of hoplites and were completely blocked, and it was useless to have 100,000 cavalry behind at this time.

If the cavalry can't rush the marchers, the more they will be behind, the more they will block themselves.

The Ming army behind the three columns of hoplites continued to shoot, and the rain of arrows did not stop.

Some of them didn't have to throw a shot, but fired head-on at the cavalry a few paces ahead.

At the rear of the battlefield, the rumbling sound of iron cavalry sounded again, and the second wave of elite cavalry on Shahru's side had already rushed forward after the first wave.

But just within five hundred steps.

Boom, a cannon sounded, and the artillery of the Ming army finally sounded.

Boom, boom, boom, and then the sound of artillery continued, and every twenty breaths or so, a cannon rang out, and the shells flew into the cavalry formation one by one.

The shouting of "killing" at the scene shook the sky, and the cavalry was blocked by the Ming army's hoplites, and the back could not come up, and the front kept falling.

The ground was littered with the corpses of horses and warriors.

The Ming army fought in a very orderly manner, once they saw that the hoplites suffered heavy casualties somewhere, the infantry in the nearest row immediately threw away the bow and arrow, picked up the spear and rushed up to fill the position, and the bow and arrow in the back were in order to make up for it.

The front is always in the front with three rows at the top.

At this time, the opposing cavalry could no longer rush up, the front row fell from their horses, and the rear row was blocked by their own men and horses, and the speed was completely absent, and there was no way to take the heavy cavalry.

If it is replaced by Houjin and the Mongols, and they shoot at the front row of the Ming army, the effect is still a little.

But the first wave of Shaharu was all scimitar cavalry, and there were no arrows at all.

The two sides were in a stalemate, while the Ming army was raining arrows, and Shahru's side suffered heavy casualties, and the back row died faster than the front row.

"The archer crouches." Suddenly, there were officers shouting behind the Ming army.

More than a dozen rows of archers crouched down.

Boom, a long line, hundreds of flintlock musketeers, raised high.

Bang bang bang, with the sound of gunfire, the cavalry on horses in front fell to the ground.

Then the flintlock musketeers collected their guns and stepped back, and the back row staggered up to the other.

"Ready."

"Aim."

"Hit."

Bang bang bang bang and play again in the second round.

The Ming army had already come over three rounds of flintlock pistols, and after three rounds of firing in a row, within a dozen steps in front of the Ming army, it was almost impossible to see the horses and no people.

All the horsemen on horseback were almost swept away, and there were clever knights lying on horseback in time, not so tall that they barely escaped a catastrophe, but when he looked up, there were almost no companions within a dozen paces of him in front of him and behind him.

At this time, because there were too many dead and wounded horses and people in front of the Ming army, the passage had long been blocked, and Shaharu's cavalry could not rush up, and they were unwilling to rush up.

In less than half an hour, the Shahru striker was hit hard, and the strikes and tactics of the Ming army's trinity were almost their nemesis.

Although the Ming army did not bring Wuhan Iron and Steel vehicles this time, they used heavy infantry to stand in front, and they did not break through the Ming army's infantry formation in the first wave, which was almost equivalent to defeat.

If the first wave is fierce enough, it can break through the Ming army's infantry formation, and it can fight another dozen.

The Ming army used artillery at a distance, bowed and arrowed when approaching, and then used flintlock pistols and spears to step into formation.

Shaharu fluctuated in two batches at the beginning, 30,000 fine horsemen before and after, and began to be very dense, the more they rushed, the more sparse they became, the dead and wounded were everywhere, and they rushed into the horizontal formation of 500 people of the Ming army, and they did not rush in for half an hour, and there were too many casualties in the back, which had affected the speed of their own soldiers and horses.

At this time, the cavalry has no speed, and if it rushes again, it is to send people to the head.

At this moment, the sound of gold sounded on Shaharu's side, and the cavalrymen who didn't want to charge anymore turned around and ran away.

Shaharu's face became more and more ugly as he watched the remnants of the defeated army flee back.

The Ming army crossed the river less than 10,000, and they were more than 100,000 on the west bank.

The cavalry retreated like a tidal wave, and Shaharu did not hesitate, and immediately ordered: "Withdraw." ”

Immediately retreat with all the men and horses to Jalalabad.

Just as they were retreating, the Ming army had already crossed the shield wall, holding spears, and saw the masked knight who was not dead on the ground.

"Ahh

Shaharu and his sons were shocked and frightened, the Ming army was so cruel, once defeated, their fate would definitely be even worse.
