Isn't it strange that those who use guns can't beat those with knives, and those who are ahead in science and technology can't beat the barbaric backwardness?

Of course, the problem is internal, which is the root cause of the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

However, for Zhu Youxiao, it is a normal phenomenon for the advanced to defeat the backward. Now, at last, he can be relieved.

And this three-row salvo was taught in martial arts, and it was also explained in the "Drill Code for Musketeers". But it is the first time that it has been used in actual combat.

This has to do with the understanding of the generals and the environment on the battlefield. In order to be able to form a continuous firepower, the Ming generals preferred to shoot in rows and rows.

One is continuous, and the other is all projected at once, each with its own pros and cons. But it is undeniable that the salvo of the three rows of musketeers, again at a distance of more than twenty meters, is indeed fierce and cruel.

For example, a round shot is a splash of water one by one; The salvo is carried by the basin and poured over the head and face.

Well, in terms of the final result, it is about the same. It's like rainfall, a light rain on the next day, and a rainstorm for an hour.

But on the battlefield, time is of the essence, and the Ming army suddenly used this tactic, but also in a hurry, eager to defeat the enemy, and support the friendly forces that were desperately blocking it.

The firepower of this round of three-row salvos was unusually ferocious, and the momentum of Jiannu's counterattack was suddenly stopped. Jiannu who rushed to the front was almost swept away, including Hadashuo, who was unwilling to die.

"Kill—" The musketeer finished firing, raised his bayonet and charged at the confused enemy.

Muskets and bayonets dominated the battlefield for hundreds of years. However, many people regarded the bayonet as an auxiliary weapon, and believed that the musket was the main force to kill and wound the enemy.

In fact, in the case of front-loading smoothbore muskets, the role of the bayonet is even more important because the firepower is far inferior to that of automatic rifles.

Yes, the seemingly untechnical bayonet was the key to the final defeat of the enemy and victory. Moreover, the musket and bayonet also ended the era of cold weapons and became the only weapon used by modern infantry.

White-bladed charging and hand-to-hand combat have always been the weak points of the Ming army. Jiannu has won many battles, and most of them rely on this, not any cavalry.

Now, although the melee combat ability of the Ming army cannot surpass that of Jiannu, it is also constantly improving, and the progress is gratifying.

The dense arrangement and the simultaneous advance of the comrades-in-arms around him undoubtedly increased the courage and momentum of the Ming army's impact. The harsh military laws and regulations also made the soldiers form a reflex-like ability to execute.

Poof, poof, poof...... The bayonet made a terrible sound as it sank into the flesh, followed by a burst of screams and wails.

Advancing and retreating together, the sword forest formed by hundreds of bayonets is not much worse than a spear array.

And Jiannu has been sparsely beaten by muskets, hitting the entire row of bayonets of the Ming army, which is similar to the difference between the Jiannu cavalry and the cavalry wall of the Ming army.

Fighting more and fighting less is not only a comparison of the overall strength, but also a scene of situational combat. In fact, this is the characteristic of the Ming army's operations, whether it is infantry or cavalry, they strive to do this.

Even the Ming army, which was blocking the breakthrough of Jiannu, maintained this advantage in the frontal position. The Jiannu who rushed up not only faced the bayonets of the first row of Ming troops, but also the two rows of muskets behind.

The Jiannu counterattack in the rear ended in failure, and the Ming army advanced more ferociously, and the Mongol coalition forces continued to follow, providing fire support with a dense rain of arrows.

Kennu's casualties are growing at an alarming rate, falling every minute. Despite their bravery, they struggled to withstand the onslaught of superior enemies.

"Kill, kill!" Meljangjingkarla screamed in despair.

The sound of gunfire and killing in the back was getting closer and closer, and the troops continued to draw and block the attack, making the troops attacking forward also appear insufficient. Looking at the number and momentum of the Ming army on the opposite side, it is impossible to break through, but he still has that trace of luck.

Although despair can turn into courage, Jiannu's attack is not without ferocity. However, after withstanding the onslaught in the early stage, the Ming army has become more and more stable.

And the onslaught of the pursuers in the back still shook the psychology and morale of Jiannu in the end.

Looking at the tragic scene of the corpses in front of them, listening to the opponent's shooting still being so fierce, anyone will have a sense of despair.

Can you take the road and run away by killing the past? Many Houjin soldiers had to think so. The muskets that were fired ended the lives of too many Jianzhou warriors. The bloody battles inside and outside the trenches still could not stop the counterattacks of the Ming army from time to time.

There was another roar from behind, a loud sound like a cannon, but it was the Ming army that once again used three volleys. The Mongol coalition also sent infantry troops, brandishing scimitars, and rushed up from the flanks to fight in a dogfight.

According to the reward of the Ming court, the head of a Jiannu is worth forty taels of silver, but it is a lot of wealth. Jiannu is already at the end of the crossbow, when will you wait if you don't pick up the bargain at this time?

Looking up, you can already see smoke rising from the rear, which was formed by the muskets of the Ming army. Coupled with his head to look at the blocking position of the Ming army, the fire flickered, and it was another row of musket fire.

Before he knew it, Karla was already in tears. Not fear, but grief and anger.

The thousands of Jianzhou warriors who galloped invincible on horseback will all be buried today, turning into headless corpses, stinking and rotting.

Amin's face was miserable, and he already knew that defeat was inevitable. The only way to escape seems to be the Songhua River in the north, but that is obviously a dead end!

Perhaps—Amin looked at the river beach to the north, and his mood fluctuated with the roar of the guns of the approaching Ming army.

In the rising smoke, the speed of the Ming army's advance increased again. It is not the improvement of combat power, but the disillusionment of the Jiannu army that blocks the attack, and the number of troops that can be drawn is getting smaller and smaller.

Similarly, amid the roar of muskets and shouts of killing that were getting closer and closer, more Jiannu were terrified and chilled.

The roar of muskets continued, and the Houjin soldiers, who had attacked the Ming position, retreated. From preferring to die rather than retreat, to returning in setback, it can be seen that Jiannu's confidence has fallen to the bottom.

The sound from behind grew louder and louder, the roar of muskets, the hoarse shouts of kill, and even the dense array of arrows passing through the air.

The collapse of the defenders is imminent, and Amin has finally made a final decision.

"Go north!" Amin raised his head and shouted at the surrounding generals: "How many can walk, how many can live, can't all die here." ”

North? It was the river beach, the Songhua River. The river beach is not only difficult to travel, but the river is even more difficult to cross, what is the difference between it and a dead end?

But as long as they don't die here right away, even if they can live for a while longer, the Houjin officers and soldiers in a desperate situation have only a choice.

The banner sped north, rushed to the riverbank, and fled down the river.

Amin led the guards to leave the battlefield first, and more Houjin soldiers also lost their fighting spirit, in fact, there were only a few hundred left, and they fled in panic with the banner.

"Kill, rush!"

As the Houjin army fled one after another, the resistance was greatly reduced, and the Ming army and the Mongolian coalition army quickly rushed up, and the shouts were earth-shattering.

The Houjin army completely collapsed, the people shouted and the horses neighed, and the brave Jiannu became a duck that was driven to death, and even the courage to look back was completely lost.

"Rush, kill!"

The Ming musketeers followed the enemy's footsteps and rushed towards the river beach, chasing the fleeing Jiannu. The Mongol coalition also beat the water dogs, chased them with bows and arrows, and slashed them with scimitars.

Amid the shouts of slaughter that resounded through the field, muskets were fired, bayonets were stabbed, scimitars were slashed, and human lives were mercilessly harvested. Backward or without horses, Jiannu let out a desperate cry similar to a cry, and raced with his companions.

Karla fell to the ground again, but luckily his horse was hit by buckshot, and he fell on the soft river flat, but he was not injured.

Getting up dizzy, his mind was blank, and he just subconsciously ran forward with others. At this time, he was no different from a small soldier, and there was no one to protect him as a big official.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a thousand naturalized cavalry and thousands of Mongol troops galloped forward from the avenue, outflanking the fleeing enemy on the soft river flats.

The dragoons of the Ming army, who were responsible for blocking the attack, also had hundreds of war horses and followed closely in pursuit.

One is fast and one is slow, one is strong and one is weak, escaping the attack of the Ming army, Amin and hundreds of Jiannu still can't escape the fierce pursuit.

There were fewer and fewer people around Karla, and with a scream he fell, and with a wail there was no one left.

The mudflats turned to gravel and undulating pebbles, and it was not until the river reached the top of his boots that the karla slowed down.

The river is not very wide, but for those who can't swim, it's no different from the sea. After a slight hesitation, Karla waded through the shallow water and continued to escape.

Why do you want to escape, it's obvious that you can't escape!

The Houjin officers and soldiers with horses were already far away, and they could only vaguely see the big flag. Behind him were the Ming army and the Mongol coalition army in hot pursuit, with lead bullets and arrows constantly shooting, killing as easily as a live target.

This is the survival psychology of people, when death is imminent, even if you take a breath, you have to struggle.

But no matter how strong Karla's desire to survive is, he can't save his dog's life. A lead bullet came at him and hit him in the shin, and he stumbled into the shallow water.

When he got up again, he was covered in mud and water, and his pigtails were spread out, unusually embarrassed and ugly. The pain in his leg left him limping and running, and he didn't get far before falling into the water.

Poof, poof...... A group of Ming musketeers, armed with bayonets, slaughtered the fallen Jiannu, approached and surrounded the Karla sitting in the water.

Looking at the approaching enemy, humiliated, resentful, and unwilling......

Mixed feelings came flooding back, and Kalla struggled to his feet with his knife, limping on a bleeding leg, and took a fighting stance, letting out a low howl at the enemies who surrounded him, like a wild dog demonstrating to a man.

"Hahahaha." Unexpectedly, the Ming army held up their bayonets and burst into laughter.

Although the expression of the Ming army could not be seen through the iron mask, from the laughter, Karla heard disdain and mockery. In the eyes of the soldiers of the Ming army, the desperate battle of Lord Melezhangjingkarla seemed to have become a clown-like performance.

What to laugh at, what's so funny?

Insult, it's an undisguised insult. Karla bared his teeth, his expression became even more terrifying, and his low roar raised several degrees.

"Hahahaha." The laughter of the Ming soldiers was even louder, and they were really appreciating the performance of this Jiannu official.

Karla was going mad, and he waved the knife in his hand, and with great difficulty approached it, and he was going to slash one of them to death.

Burst! An arrow came at him, striking Karla's face, stopping him from moving forward.

The horse rode the war horse and approached unhurriedly. Several Ming soldiers were originally quite dissatisfied, but when they turned their heads to stare at them, they immediately relaxed their eyes again.

"It's your credit for catching it alive." Ma Chengfei smiled, held the big bow on the horse, and forwarded the horse, and drew his sword neatly.

The horse's hooves hit the ground, splashed with mud, and in a blink of an eye they were in front of Karla.

Covering his bleeding face, Karla had only one eye left to see the scene, but he still resisted stubbornly, swinging his knife and slashing at the war horse that Ma Chengfei was riding.

With a sound of "dang", Ma Chengfei easily blocked the incoming knife with his horsepower, and while Karla was shocked and retreated, the saber drew an arc and slashed down fiercely.

Karla's vision was blurred, but he raised his knife to parry, but he blocked the air. A gust of wind passed by his ears, and the back of Ma Chengfei's war knife slammed into his shoulder.

Karla screamed so hard that his bones were shattered, and he fell headlong and rolled in the muddy water and wailed in pain.

Several Ming soldiers stepped forward, grabbed their pigtails and dragged them away. One of the soldiers thought he was screaming so badly that he scooped up a handful of mud and sand, and rubbed it and stuffed it into his mouth.

Amin's face was gloomy and terrifying, and although the sound of gunfire and shouting was far away, he knew that he was not out of danger.

The reason why the Ming army chose this place to block is because of the topography here. If you want to make a detour from the river beach when attacking, walk slowly with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and still be shot as a live target?

The Ming army flanked hundreds of people, firstly, it could form flank firepower, and secondly, it was to prevent Jiannu from making a detour from the river beach.

Although Amin was still worried about whether he would be able to escape with these hundreds of people, he was more sad and angry.

Defeat is defeat, but defeat is so bad. And give yourself another chance, the hope of turning defeat into victory is not great, which is sad and helpless.

There was a salty smell in his mouth, and Amin had already bitten his lip, but he hadn't noticed it yet.

There was a gentle slope ahead, and it was supposed to be able to turn onto the avenue, but Amin's eyes flashed and he hesitated.

Has the enemy overtaken the past and lined up in front of him? Amin was not sure, let alone wanted to fight the enemy again.

But if you want to continue along the river, you will definitely not be able to reach the speed of the Ming army on the avenue, and it is only a matter of time before it is blocked.

In fact, Amin soon didn't have to worry about it anymore, and he could see the red figure of the enemy on the gentle slope. Not only the gentle slope, but also the Mongol coalition army behind the horse and the bow.

"Lord Belle-" The captain of the guard, Zhu Ketu, galloped over, glanced at the enemy in front of him, and his face showed a look of determination, "The slave leads people to contain the enemy and ensure that Lord Belle escapes safely"

After speaking, without waiting for Amin to answer, he waved his knife and shouted: "Brothers, fight with the enemy!" Turn around and rush to kill, and survive in death" After speaking, he slowed down his horse.

Amin had a look of hesitation on his face, but then nodded vigorously.

The guards are ready to fight to the death, trying to get themselves out of danger; Amin felt that he could not live up to their loyalty, and besides, the guards were all his confidants, and he usually received the most favors, and it was time to repay the loyalty to the Lord.
