"Run! Run for me! ”

On the battlefield in the south of Qiancang Mountain, the line infantry maintained a horizontal formation, running on the flat ground, and the battalion commander led by the battalion commander held a command knife and walked in the front, while encouraging the soldiers behind him to speed up.

Although the number of line infantry has not yet reached the number of 1,200 people in a battalion, in order to facilitate command, Su Yan also organized these 840 line infantry into a battalion separately, and selected a person with stronger ability among the officers of each company to serve as the battalion commander.

The commander of this battalion is called Li Fang, after receiving Su Dingyuan's order to move to the flank to block the heavy cavalry of the Qing army, although he thought that this task was dangerous, he still accepted it, led the infantry battalion to run all the way, and came to the flank before the Qing army.

After arriving at the battle site, they did not care about resting, under Li Fang's order, each team lined up in four rows, and then took out the projectiles and medicine sacs, poured lead bullets and gunpowder into the barrel of the gun in turn, and compacted them with a whole strip, and when they finished loading, the Qing cavalry that walked all the way finally came to within about 300 paces from them.

The leader of the Jialazhen Qijiha looked at the infantry with firearms, with a few contemptuous smiles on his face, he had always been very contemptuous of the Ming army that was still resisting in the south from Gyeonggi, and seeing that the Ming army on the opposite side had only sent less than a thousand people, he wanted to stop the charge of his Qing iron cavalry, and he had no other feelings except contempt.

Immediately, he took off his bow, took out a light arrow in his other hand, raised it high, and shouted:

"Sons, rush over and let the Han dog on the opposite side see the majesty of my Manchurian Eight Banners!"

When the words fell, Qi Jiha took the lead in riding his horse and rushing, and the Manchurian cavalry under his command immediately echoed loudly and also galloped with his horse.

Although the cavalry of the Qing army was only 800 people, the posture of running for them still gave people an unstoppable sense of intimidation, Li Fang looked at the enemy running towards them, and the right hand holding the command knife couldn't help but clench tightly.

Seeing the Qing cavalry rushing into the effective killing range of two hundred steps, Li Fang did not immediately order to shoot, but asked the soldiers to squat down in the front row, and after the order was issued, the first two rows completed a salvo, and the last two rows shot separately.

Before unlocking the ring-sleeved bayonet technology, the hollow phalanx still couldn't effectively block the cavalry's charge, otherwise Li Fang would have ordered the formation of a phalanx to meet the enemy, instead of risking the Qing cavalry to be within a hundred paces and then concentrate fire.

"One platoon, two platoons, raise your guns and prepare!"

Hmmm-

As the Qing cavalry rushed into a distance of 100 paces, they began to draw arrows with their bows and arrows, and fired light arrows at the line infantry, the Qing army's archery was very tricky, and the light arrows fired could accurately hit the gaps in the armor worn by the line infantry.

At this time, Li Fang finally gave the order to shoot, he commanded the knife to slash forward into the void, and shouted, and the first and second rows of soldiers in all companies pulled the trigger one after another.

For a while, the gunshots were continuous, and the gunpowder smoke instantly blocked everyone's sight, and the Qing cavalry seemed to have encountered an invisible big hand in the air, and hundreds of people running in front of the riders directly burst into a cloud of blood mist, and their sturdy cloth armor was directly hit with multiple blood holes, and they fell from their horses screaming.

After the leader of the charge, Jiala'e Zhen Qijiha, saw several balls of gunfire explode in front of him, and his subconscious sixth sense frantically warned him, and before his brain reacted, the body reaction accumulated over the years directly made him tighten the reins, making the war horse neigh and stand up, blocking several lead bullets flying in front of him.

The lead bullet shot into the soft belly of the war horse, and the severe pain made the horse neigh and fall heavily, Qi Jiha also reacted quickly at this time, jumped off the horse's back before the war horse pressed him underneath, and rolled on the ground in embarrassment, so as to avoid being crushed by the war horse and unable to move.

It is not uncommon for people to be as agile as Qijiha, and there are several people who sacrifice their horses to save their lives at the moment of crisis, but not every one of them is as lucky as Qijiha, either they are crushed under the heavy war horse, or they can't dodge the robe behind them after jumping off the horse, and they collide directly.

The momentum of the Qing cavalry charge was also disrupted because of this round of volleys, for a time people turned on their backs, the scene was extremely chaotic, and those cavalry who jumped over the corpses in front of them did not run far, just after they ran dozens of paces, there was another burst of gunfire in front, and the soldiers in the third row also pulled the trigger and sent the deadly lead bullet into the air.

This round of salvo fire, and shot hundreds of Qing cavalry, the huge casualties made the rest of the people can't help but tremble, before they can react, the fourth row of salvos followed, Qijiha watched his subordinates scream from the horse and fell to the ground, every time he fell, his heart was dripping blood, that was a precious Manchurian soldier, every death was a huge loss.

But they all died in humiliation under the enemy's firearms, and they didn't even replace the iron arrows that shot at close range!

A scene that made him even more stunned then happened, the Manchurian cavalry who had endured four consecutive volleys had no fighting spirit, they looked at the enemy army column shrouded in white gunpowder smoke in horror, comforted the frightened war horses under their crotches, and wanted to turn their horses to withdraw from here, for fear that the next second would sound the gunfire like a grim smile.

Qijiha wanted to stop the defeated Manchurian cavalry, in his eyes, there was absolutely no way for a fleeing warrior to appear in the glorious and great Manchurian imperial banner, He stumbled forward and pulled up a robe that was constantly struggling under the war horse, and then ran to the cavalry that had fled and shouted loudly in Manchu: "Don't retreat!" The Han firearms take a long time to reload, now rush forward, kill them, and we can win the battle! ”

"Qiziha, they're terrible!"

One of the horsemen responded to Zidziha's words in horror, but when he saw Qiziha draw his saber and point it at him, he could only reluctantly turn his horse's head in the direction of the enemy, and at this time, the smoke from the burning gunpowder had been blown away by the breeze, revealing the muzzles of the first row of soldiers who had just finished loading behind.

"Put!"

Bang bang bang –

Another round of volleys completely shattered the fighting spirit of the Manchurian cavalry, especially Qijiha, who stopped them, was shot in the face by a stray bullet, and fell backwards on the spot.

Eight hundred Manchurian cavalry were wiped out by the line infantry in just a few minutes, and most of them were lost, and they had no will to fight!
