The first to roar was not the Ming Dynasty, but the dozen or so Hongyi cannons erected on the sand bank. The cannon that had already been adjusted to shoot Zhu Yuan was removed, and the camouflage was removed, revealing the muzzle of the black hole, and bursting out with dazzling fire.

The shells swept over the river more than 100 meters, flew from both sides of the Ming army's battle array, and entered the ranks of the Han soldiers diagonally.

The battle formation of the Han soldiers was still more than 400 meters away from the Ming army, and their old artillery had not yet reached the firing distance, and the ground under their feet was relatively solid, which was also the main reason why the Ming artillery took the lead in firing.

Although the power of the old artillery was small, it still had a lot of lethality to the closely arranged Ming army. Therefore, the Hongyi cannon took the lead in firing and disrupted the arrangement of the Han soldiers.

The solid cannonball carved a bloody path through the Han soldiers' battle formation with unstoppable impact until the exhaustion stopped, leaving stumps and broken arms and a blur of flesh and blood all over the ground.

Screams and wails rang out one after another, and a single shell rushed into the enemy line in a bouncing procession, killing and wounding a dozen people. The number of casualties was bearable, no worse than a round of musket fire.

But the roar of the artillery, and the undefensible impact and destruction, combined with the tragic situation of killing and wounding, created an even greater deterrent.

This is also very understandable, it is also a murder, why there are thousands of knives Ling Chi, which is to make people die more miserably and increase deterrence.

Looking at the bloody corpses, as well as the companions who lack arms and legs, the flesh and blood flying, screaming and rolling, no matter how strong the nerves are, they will have a cold back and a fried scalp, right?

Chen Sanhe's eyes were dull, and he subconsciously stepped back, his eyes were all red, it was blood and minced meat, it was a companion's, and it was a friend's.

A fellow villager in Tun is of a similar age, and he can even be regarded as young. Now it has been beaten by cannonballs, and it has fallen in a pool of blood and rotten flesh.

"Smack!" A whip was whipped down so hard that Chen Sanhe almost jumped up.

Ma Guangyuan's fierce voice rang out, "Those who retreat will be killed, and the whole team will move forward." ”

The petty officers suppressed the fear in their hearts? Shouting? Straighten out the ranks and move forward.

"Don't be afraid? Enemy artillery firing is slow? And so it was. "Ma Guangyuan shouted loudly on the horse, calming the morale of the army? " The further back you retreat, the faster you die; Approaching the enemy? Their cannons did not dare to shoot. ”

Does that seem to make sense? It proves that Ma Guangyuan is not incompetent, and he still has a lot of knowledge about the performance of artillery.

It seems that in order to prove the correctness of what Ma Guangyuan said, the artillery of the Ming army really stopped bombarding. Hongyi cannon, in terms of rate of fire, really dare not compliment.

At the urging of an officer? Is the shelling also stopped? The Han soldiers reorganized their ranks and continued to press forward.

Whether it is cold weapons or firearms, on the battlefield, it is necessary to pay attention to the battle formation and give full play to the advantages of the collective. The bird guns that the Han soldiers were equipped with? Of course, it is no exception, both to play the density of fire? And it's going to be within range again.

Tong Yanghe and Ma Guangyuan and others, in training? I think that the musket battle is a attrition. You shoot a shot? I'll shoot a bullet too? At about the same distance? The hit rate won't vary much.

Even if there is a difference in the quality and performance of the musket, the numerical advantage is more than enough to make up for it. If you rely on a fortified city to defend, you can close the gap in weapons.

It's a good idea, and other factors aside, it's the right thing to do.

The Han soldiers were mixed with sword and shield hands and bird guns, and such ideas and arrangements were also very realistic.

Without bayonets, the Bird Gunners have no melee hand-to-hand combat abilities; As for the sword and shield hands, they can cover lead bullets (with bird guns for experiments), and they do not occupy as much space as spearmen.

The battle formation of the Ming army stood still, twenty Fran machine guns were deployed in front of the formation, and the muzzles of the black holes pointed at the enemy who was advancing step by step.

500 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters...... Neither side fired their muskets and seemed to be waiting to come within range.

Boom, boom, boom! Three roars broke the dull tension on the battlefield, and three shells rose from behind the sandbank, flew in an arc to the opposite bank, and smashed down.

Although they had repeatedly calculated and adjusted the direction and angle of the artillery, the Ming troops who landed first also set up guidance marks several hundred meters in front of the formation, and the artillery still carried out test firing.

Three shells were near or far, two fell into the enemy formation, and one fell in front of the formation, and there were still more than 100 meters away from the battle formation of the Ming army.

Luo Li held the binoculars and observed the impact point. Later, he saw the flags of friendly forces.

"The angle direction remains the same, fire and bombard!" Luo Li perked up and gave the order loudly.

More than 100 artillery pieces, he almost checked them one by one, but until now, his heart has been completely relaxed.

After several years of growth and experience, Luo Li has become the commander-in-chief of artillery. Whether it was the Hongyi cannon cast at the head of Ningyuan City, or the Ming Dynasty, he had mastered it perfectly.

If it's just his own business, it's nothing.

The most important thing is that Luo Li compiled a table of firing elements of artillery, and according to the above numbers, he can shoot all elements through the elevation angle, charge amount, etc., so as to calculate the landing point of the shell.

To put it bluntly, you don't need a very high level of education and computing power to be able to manipulate artillery according to the map. This can be called a revolutionary invention, which was rewarded by the emperor and became a teaching material in martial arts.

With this dictionary-like artillery manual, the requirements for artillery are greatly reduced, and the pace of training is greatly accelerated. More gods of war appeared on the battlefield, giving the Ming army a boost.

Three test-fired shells killed two Han soldiers, and a wisp of green smoke rolled on the ground. The Han soldiers, who knew the thunder, couldn't help but scream in amazement, and hurried away from the danger.

Boom, boom, boom! Three explosions rang out, the flames flashed, and in the rising black smoke, shrapnel flew fiercely, and a scream of astonishment sounded.

For the Han soldiers who were advancing in formation, the range that three shells could reach was really not large.

The Han soldiers around the bullet impact point fell into chaos, but those who were far away had little impact, and the Han soldiers in the distance didn't even know what was going on.

Thousands of men and horses could not have been confused by three test-fired shells. Moreover, the lethality of these three explosive shells may not be more powerful than the solid shells of the Hongyi cannon.

"Forward as a team, forward as a team." The officers shouted loudly, and the soldiers were in order, as if they had gained a lot of experience than before.

Ma Guangyuan also howled and commanded the Han soldiers to set up artillery, preparing to deal the same blow to the enemy.

Boom, boom, boom...... A continuous roar sounded on the opposite bank, and dozens of shells flew up from behind the sand bank, swept across the river, and fell one after another under the frightened gaze of the Han soldiers.

Ma Guangyuan looked up at the smashed cannonball, and his pupils contracted suddenly. How many artillery pieces must be there, and the Ming army actually has such a means to hide.

The cannonball smashed into the array of Han soldiers, and looking at the smoke on the ground, the surrounding Han soldiers screamed and fled in horror.

If you look down from the air, the battle formation of the Han soldiers looks like a beach hit by heavy raindrops, and like a ripple caused by a lot of stones thrown into the water, and a circular blank space with a cannonball as the center appears.

Explosions rang out, one after another, flashing dazzling light and clouds of black smoke rising from the battle array.

Du Yueshan gave the order to attack, and the hundreds of musketeers of the Ming army, who had already been prepared, passed through the gap in the Franc machine gun carriage, and strode forward in a tight four-row wheel firing formation.

As soon as the sound of explosions stopped, a swan sounded again.

The battle of the Ming army came to an abrupt end, and it was less than 100 meters away from the Han soldiers in front.

The musketeers in the first row raised their guns, took aim, and pulled the triggers, and the sound of gunfire merged into a roar no less than that of artillery. Countless bright spots flickered, and thick white smoke rose.

As soon as the guns fell, the second row of musketeers passed their companions, raised their guns again, took aim, and with the sound of the swan's voice, another powerful volley.

The Han soldiers, who had been thrown into confusion by the heavy bombardment, had no time to adjust, and were met head-on with musket fire.

Load the fire rope (load the fire rope into the faucet clamp of the trigger, ready to ignite), open the fire door cover, light the fire rope, aim, pull the trigger to fire......

Although the Han soldiers had completed the first few steps of the tedious launch of the bird's gun, and only the final procedure remained, but in the confusion, the panic, and the rain of lead bullets were coming, few people could still calm down and operate?

This is the lack of actual combat experience, and most of the Han soldiers have not experienced any battle formations.

In the training, he can operate the bird gun relatively proficiently, but on the battlefield, panic and hand trembling are inevitable, and who remembers that in an emergency, he can also directly ignite the fire door without aiming and firing.

The four platoons of Ming troops marched forward in an orderly manner, firing as if a sophisticated machine was in motion, and the volleys of muskets were round after round, like monsters with tongues of fire.

This is the elite of Zhang Pan's department, and some veterans even followed Zhang Pan when the town was opened in Dongjiang, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as having experienced a hundred battles.

"Those who retreat will be killed! "Ma Guangyuan's wolf howl couldn't stop the defeat of the Han soldiers, and he waved his blood-stained sword in vain, and had already slashed several defeated soldiers.......

He could clearly see that the third group of Ming troops was approaching the shore by boat, and the Ming troops pressing forward were vacating the shoals for them. In addition to the Ming soldiers, the ship was also loaded with artillery carriages.

"Get on the bayonet, charge!" Du Yueshan shouted loudly and ordered.

The war drums were beating, although there were only two sides, and the sound was neither loud nor exciting, but the soldiers of the Ming army suddenly cheered up when they heard the order to charge.

"Kill, rush, kill!" The shouts rang out, and the blood on his feet was aroused.

After shooting the lead bullet from the gun, the Ming soldiers raised their bayonets, took great strides, and charged forward with shouts.

In the face of the Ming army rushing like a wolf and a tiger, the last trace of fighting spirit of the Han soldiers was also lost, and the defeat finally turned into a rout.

Poof, poof, poof...... A volley of bayonets caught up with the enemy and plunged mercilessly into the flesh, and in the screams, blood splattered.

The wolves cried and the ghosts cried, fled in panic, and the rout was already complete, and no one dared to turn back, let alone return to fight.

The third group of Ming troops began to land, still with 300 musketeers, more than 20 Franc cannons and attached artillery carriages. The strength of the enemy and our forces, there has been a change, although not very noticeable.
