"Heavy artillery fire!"

"Boom !!"

Four huge cannon sounds suddenly came from behind the formation.

Li Tiezhu, the uncle and nephew of the Lu family, and the heavy artillery gunner, recuperated for a day, and had already re-debugged the iron-core copper cannon.

The cannonball accurately fell into Jiannu's military formation, knocked down several flags, flew up a severed hand, and a round of artillery made the other party pay the price of his life.

Nurha's brow furrowed, and with a wave of his hand, the flag waved.

The main force of Jiannu attacked.

Wang Hongyu nodded with satisfaction.

The role of heavy artillery in field warfare lies in this, that is, to take the initiative into one's own hands by firing range.

In order not to be bombarded in vain, the enemy had to take the initiative to attack, so that the Ming army could defend first and then counterattack, and give full play to the advantages of its own firearms.

Looking at the Jiannu flags lined up in turn.

From west to east, they are: the red flag, the red flag, the yellow flag, the yellow flag, the white flag, the white flag and the blue flag.

The Eight Banners have reached seven, in a fan-shaped, semi-encircled shape, and do not spare any strength to launch an attack.

This time, because most of the shield cars had been lost, the Eight Banners Dead Soldiers and the Savage Jurchens took the lead.

The dead soldiers wore two layers of heavy armor with fish scales, armed with a large sword, and their faces were savage and vicious, and they were all ruthless men who dared to die under heavy rewards.

The savage Jurchens were even more courageous, their mouths wide open, their strange screams, and their hands wielding leather shields, spears, javelins, throwing axes, iron bones, etc.

Behind them were more than a thousand archers of various banners, adding up to nearly 10,000 people. These people are all old hunters in the mountains and forests, and they have gone through dozens of battles, large and small, and have shot too many people, and now they have long been insensitive, killing people without blinking.

"All of them!"

Two horns sounded, and the Jiannu cavalry also moved.

The cavalry and mounted heavy infantry of the various banners moved separately. Each banner had 1,000 cavalry to make a detour to the flanks, so that the east and west flanks would have 4,000 enemy cavalry gathered together.

The mounted heavy infantry also followed behind the archers, and when they got a little closer, they were the Bayala guards of the various banners. I saw that they were all covered with delicate fish scale armor, most of which were obtained from the most elite Ming army in Salhu, and painted in the colors of each flag, which looked very dazzling.

The Bayala Protector is the main force at the bottom of the Eight Banners, all of them are elite veterans of a hundred battles, and this time they have no reservations, and they will also participate in the decisive battle.

More than 30,000 Jiannu main forces poured out of the nest.

"Artillery preparation!"

Zhang Mingshi gave an order, and the Southern Army's Francophone, arquebus, and three-eyed gun line were ready to shoot.

He looked at Chen Ce, Qi Jin, Zhou Dunji, and Wang Hongyu in the main general's position, and then Wang Hongyu pointed to his bow and arrow and replied to the order.

"Goal! Enemy archers! ”

When the Ming army heard the order, they shouted together: "Yes! Target enemy archer!! ”

The soldiers repeated the order together so that the whole army could hear it clearly.

"Boom, boom!"

Dozens of tiger squat cannons fired diagonally upward, and the flight of the curved shells carried a unique sound, like a birdsong elongated, from far and near into a terrifying scream sliding towards the enemy troops.

"Boom, boom!"

The ammunition of the Huzun cannon is not a single large iron solid bullet, but a small lead or 100 small pebbles weighing 5 yuan, and a large lead bullet or large stone bullet weighing 30 taels is pressed on the top. When it was fired, large and small bullets flew out at once, roaring like thunder, falling from the sky, and the killing range was very large.

The batch of iron nail bullets that Li Tiezhu rushed to make before was basically exhausted last night, and now it is fighting ordinary round lead bullets, so the power is slightly weaker, and it is a little weak to deal with prepared heavy armored enemies.

That's why they specialize in fighting enemy archers~

Lead is like pouring rain, even Jiannu's archers are not weak in close combat, wearing captured Ming army armor, but after all, it is not heavy armor, let alone a shield.

The Jiannu archers did not expect that the Ming artillery did not hit the dead soldiers and savages in front, and directly bombed them, killing and wounding hundreds of people at once.

Some Jiannu were blown up, and began to draw their bows and shoot back after more than 100 steps, but the lethality of this distance was really limited, and the wounded of the Ming army withdrew, and the armor was left, and they were ready to release arrows for a long time.

"Franc machine, put!"

"Boom, boom!"

80 Franc machines fired a salvo, and the momentum shook the sky.

Although they are direct fire, they can't get past the dead soldiers in the front row and directly blow up the archers in the back row, but the direct shot is more deadly!

The dead soldiers and savages in the front row were secretly glad in their hearts, and now it was their turn to be shelled.

After a round of shelling, the dead soldiers kept their bodies low, but the savages, thinking that the cannons were over, got up and rushed again.

"Boom, boom!"

Another volley of cannons shot at the wildlings, knocking them to pieces, flesh and blood.

This is the strength of the Franco machine line.

The rear row of the line immediately pulled out the sub-guns, and the next row handed another one that had already been loaded, the shooter aimed the muzzle of the gun at the new target, and the second row of infantry immediately lit the fuse.

"Boom, boom!"

The whole process took only three breaths to go, and the Franc cannon roared again.

A large area of white gunpowder smoke rose from the entire battlefield, and everyone's ears were filled with the continuous sound of gunfire, and the two strongest field armies in East Asia fought to the death here.

"Wujing Camp stepped forward! Youyang soldiers cover! ”

"Yes!"

Chen Ce saw the opportunity and put the heavily armored Wujing battalion at the forefront.

At this time, although the Jiannu archers were beaten to the ground by the Huzun cannon for a while, there were tens of thousands of people, and if they were really close to the archery, they could harvest the lives of thousands of Ming soldiers in a short time.

Therefore, it is necessary to let the Wujing battalion, which wears the heaviest armor, be at the front, they are wearing iron armor and cotton armor, and the helmet is also two layers, and they can prevent ordinary arrows from missing without a shield.

Unless the enemy was close enough to shoot people in the face, those archers would basically not be able to hurt the heavy infantry of the Wujing battalion.

Youyang's infantry followed closely behind the Wujing battalion. Most of them wear light armor, carry swords and shields, and use poisonous crossbows, and they can't withstand the enemy's arrows head-on, but once someone is in front of them, they can give full play to their advantages in hand-to-hand combat and poisonous crossbows.

Those savage Jurchens howled and rushed towards the Wujing camp, wielding axes and iron bones to smash on the heavy armor, but before they could hit it, they were shot to the ground by crossbow arrows, foaming at the mouth and twitching wildly.

Dead soldiers are much more savvy.

Although it was Jiannu's death squad, they wore two layers of heavy armor and marched forward with great regret, letting the savage Jurchens carry the first round of artillery bombardment and poisoned arrows for them, and then rushed over.

The Franc machine took down a lot of rounds of fire, but they couldn't fire when they got close.

Crossbow arrows are difficult to deal with, and swords and shields can only block them, but they are difficult to kill.

On the contrary, the Wujing battalion, which uses broadswords and spears, can deal with them.

The front temporarily blocked the enemy, but there were still a large number of enemies on the flanks.

"The guns move to the flanks!"

Chen Ce saw Jiannu's arrangement and decisively ordered the strongest melee elite to cover both wings.

The spear was raised high to the sky, and the spear forest slowly moved to the flank, and the arquebus and the three-eyed gunner, under the cover of the spear, combined into the phalanx and moved to the flank.

Wang Hongyu and Zhao Hannian personally led the team to the left flank this time, where they faced the cavalry with two red flags and yellow flags.
