Although the "Moon Array" is very famous, there are very few examples in history.

The main thing is that the conditions are relatively high, not only on the defending side, but also on the attacking side. What's the use of you setting up a position and no one cares?

Perhaps the "Moon Formation" was also put out, and the enemy also attacked as he wished, but he couldn't resist and suffered defeat, and this result would not highlight the "Moon Formation".

To put it bluntly, if Liu Yu's "Moon Array" had not broken through about 30,000 cavalry with 2,000 elite infantry and created an amazing record, the "Moon Array" would not have become famous in one fell swoop.

Now, the Ming army has also put on a "moon formation", whether it is a complete victory or a defeat, it depends on the result of the bloody battle between the enemy and us.

Zhang Pan had already landed to take over as commander-in-chief, Du Yueshan served as the front-line commander, and more than 1,000 Ming troops were in strict array with guns and guns to meet the attack of the enemy who was fierce and superior in strength.

The war horses galloped, and the lure of Jiannu became very realistic. If the Ming army still didn't open fire, the light car commander Gar pager felt that he could rush closer and greet him with arrows.

Although the range of the flintlock pistol can reach more than 100 meters, the effective range is within 50 or 60 meters, which is similar to the pistols of later generations.

Of course, at a distance of 100 meters, the lead bullet of the flintlock pistol is still lethal to unprotected targets, and the hit rate can be increased by the intensive fire of the platoon gun.

However, the Ming army did not adopt this relatively inefficient method of shooting, thanks to strict training and military law, no one dared to shoot casually without an order, which could bring the enemy closer.

In order to achieve this goal, the officers also thought of a solution, that is, the separation of the two positions of holding the gun and shooting the gun.

That is, the officers did not give orders, and the soldiers held their guns in both hands, the muzzles of which were tilted upwards, and their fingers were not placed on the plate machine. Even if you are nervous, you will not go off.

Seventy meters, sixty meters......

"Pick up the gun, get ready—" The officer's voice rang out, and the long flag leaned forward diagonally? Point at the enemy.

Jiannu didn't plan to rush straight over? Gar pager is just thinking about it. When he reached the range of his bow and arrows, he went around diagonally? And shoot arrows with a bow in a beautiful turning position.

Rumble...... The roar of a row of muskets broke out almost simultaneously? Elephant thundered.

Arrows swept through the air, and buckshot flew straight head-on? This was the first firepower contact between the enemy and the enemy.

The person called Ma Neigh, changed direction to pass by Jiannu in front of the Ming army? Under the blow of a round of musket fire? One after another was shot and fell off the horse.

The arrows flying in the air did not hurt much to the Ming army, the armor was complete, and there was an iron mask, and the protection was comprehensive? The quality of the armor is also quite good.

A clanging sound sounded in the Ming army? Only a few Ming soldiers were wounded with ribbons. The second platoon had already moved forward to fill the position, and the first platoon quickly retreated, and when it reached the back of the platoon, it was nervously and orderly reloaded.

Before the Jiannu cavalry that swept across the formation could complete this maneuver, another volley of buckshot came in. Suddenly? Another group of people had to turn on their backs.

For now, the Ming army's flintlock rifle armament rate has reached 100 percent? Cold weapons such as spears, swords and shields were completely abandoned.

Moreover, an officer of the Ming army with real combat experience? It was also found that the depth of the infantry array could be compressed due to the greatly increased rate of fire of the flintlock pistol.

The result of depth compression? Can more guns fire at one front? More effective use of firepower.

Of course? It will take some time to make the transition from an infantry phalanx to a linear formation, and not every officer, every unit, has realized this.

In southern Liaoning, the two mixed associations, Kong Youde and Zhang Pan, as well as the Qishi Mixed Association, which had completed its intensified training, were the first troops to carry out reforms and adopt new tactics.

In the Ming army in western Liaoning, only Fan Hualong's dragoons were used once when fighting against Amin's troops.

The result of the change was obvious, the increase in instantaneous fire output caused a lot of casualties to the Kennu who lured the enemy.

The scene is also somewhat similar, Amin, who has been cut by a thousand knives, and the troops led by him have suffered this big loss. Obviously, Yue Zhen didn't know how Amin was defeated.

The Jiannu cavalry swept past the Ming army's "Moon Array" at a distance of fifty or sixty meters, leaving behind nearly 100 corpses, as well as wounded people who had been shot on the ground and did not die, and war horses that were screaming and fluttering.

The attack arranged by Yue Zhi had already begun, and it would not be stopped because of this accident. Moreover, in Yue Zhen's opinion, the purpose of luring the enemy has been achieved, although the casualties are a bit large.

Dozens of chariots appeared in front of the formation, and this was already all, covering the heavy armor soldiers in the rear and the archers who provided fire suppression.

The Ming army's weaponry and tactics made rapid progress, but Jiannu's style of play was still the same. The so-called chariot is only a defensive tool developed by the Ming army's car battalion.

The current Ming army also had chariots, which were placed in front of the formation, which were both vehicles equipped with Franco's cannons and movable ramparts that could resist and contain the onslaught of the enemy's cavalry.

Of course, flintlock pistols and bayonets can also fight against cavalry. And with a tank, it is much safer.

"Solid bullet loading! Get ready to fire! ”

The artillery of the Ming army, which received the order, moved quickly, and the shotgun... The cannons were replaced with single cannons.

Sleet... Bullets are very effective against dense enemies, but it is not easy to destroy the cart. And a solid iron bullet weighing several pounds has considerable destructive power for wooden carts.

In fact, the role and power of the car are exaggerated. There were no cannons on the carts, nor did they have the firing ports of muskets, but they were purely equipment for providing shelter and protection.

Of course, such defensive equipment alone could not defeat the Ming army. Historically, the chariot only provided cover so that the Jiannu could approach the enemy at a relatively small cost. In the end, the victory was almost entirely based on Jiannu's hand-to-hand combat.

Therefore, even if the car cannot be destroyed, victory or defeat depends on the combat effectiveness and will to fight of both sides.

The battle on both flanks of the "Moon Formation" also began, and the Han soldiers, under the command of Tong Yanghe and Ma Guangyuan, approached the battle formation of the Ming army and took the lead in attacking with bird guns.

Boom, boom, boom...... The Fran cannon spits out flames, the middle is filled with solid shells, and the wings are shotgun. bomb, the Ming army faced the attack and unceremoniously responded ferociously.

Boom, boom, boom...... The Hongyi cannon, which had been silent for a long time, roared again on the opposite bank, smashing heavy shells diagonally into the enemy's ranks.

After Jiannu, who was attacking in the middle, approached sixty or seventy meters from the Ming army's battle array, more than 100 Ming men forced out a more passionate shout.

Dense shells swept through the air, and the black pressure made the sunlight dark. From 100 meters to 3 or 400 meters before the formation, it was all the coverage of artillery shells.

Yue Xuan's pupils contracted, the Ming army still had hidden strength, and the density of this salvo bombardment was something he had never seen before.

The cannonballs arced, growing from small to large, and smashed into the ranks of Jiannu's attacking team in a chaotic manner.

A moment later, one explosion after another rang out, and black smoke erupted. The sunlight became dim in the rising black smoke, and it also covered Yue Zhen's heart with a heavy shadow.
