The gunners warmed the barrels of their guns, the gunners lost their guns, the gunpowder smoke was filled, and with a breeze blowing, most of the gunpowder smoke dissipated, and the soldiers of the Shun army saw the scene in front of them clearly, those Dongyu archers were twenty paces away, pulled their bows far away, and shot one person with an arrow, and behind them the armor soldiers were advancing, they were covered in armor, like iron-armored monsters, and they were moving forward in a dull manner.

For decades, the Ming army simply could not withstand such pressure, and its collapse was inevitable.

Ao Bai in the back was pleased to see the scene in front of him, and he said to himself lightly: "Sure enough, the army is still the same army, and the skin is not changed." ”

He couldn't help but think in his heart, if he was the other party's coach, even if he risked hitting his own people at this time, he should use the red-coat cannon to bombard the armor, and besides, was it his own people in front of the battle? The person commanding this army must be a general who was born as a thief, and the soldiers in front of him are all Tang Tong's people, they just surrender their troops, and if they die, they will die.

Maybe the thief general is an indecisive person, Ao Bai thought in his heart, at this time the more than four hundred cavalry he led had already bullied a little, he looked up at the top of the mound, as if he wanted to find the figure of the opponent, but found a crucial change, the six red-coated cannons were missing, could it be retreated?

Ao Bai searched on the battlefield, but found that on the right flank of the Shun army, two horse teams appeared, the front one seemed to have forty or fifty horsemen, and the back was ten times as much, but in the front one, there were too many vehicles, and half of the cars had a black and thick pipe - a red cannon!

Suarez was riding on his horse at this time, he was wearing a gorgeous military uniform, especially that beautiful hat, with a flamboyant and huge feather, he liked to be in the limelight, especially when he was the protagonist, and now, with his mounted artillery company, he rushed down from the mound and went directly to the center of the battlefield, where he was visible to everyone on both sides and the enemy, and at this moment, he became the center of attention.

And behind him, Zhang Nai sent the reserve out of the pine forest, five hundred cavalry, half of his hard work in the past few years, and when he saw Suarez's move, he scolded damned, but he couldn't retreat.

The timing of this counterattack was chosen by Suarez himself, Zhang Nai just agreed, he had no reason not to support Suarez, as Ao Bai believed, even if he failed, it was Tang Tongbu who died in battle, but after rushing down the mountain, Zhang Nai found that he was wrong, Suarez did not shoot on his right flank at all, but passed in front of the phalanx on his right flank, and stopped in front of the second phalanx, only more than one hundred and thirty steps away from the armor soldiers of the Qing army.

With the artillery unit of the Oriental Trading Company, it is 200 meters.

Two hundred meters, the distance at which the shotgun plays.

Suarez commanded in a loud voice: "Take the first row as the benchmark and spread out the horizontal line!" ”

The artillery company entered the battlefield in columns, with the first row of two cars stopped, the remaining four vehicles spread out on both wings, forming a horizontal formation, as Suarez ordered to put the column, the gunners immediately stepped forward, untied the front artillery car, turned the muzzle, from the artillery dismounted to the start of the operation of the artillery, it was forty-five seconds, Suarez scolded damn, he had visited the field artillery company of the trading company, this data is thirty seconds, he was a whole slow.

From unloading the gun carriage to the release of the gun, forty seconds, another ten seconds slow, and then loading to the point where the gun is ready, thirty-five seconds, five seconds more than during training.

From descending the mound to entering the attack position, about one kilometer, it took only six minutes for the field artillery of the trading house, but it took eight minutes for themselves.

But Suarez didn't care about that, and the artillery officers were responding, many of the artillerymen were Portuguese or other Latin-speaking people, and they couldn't speak Chinese well, but the passwords used had to be Chinese.

"First row, artillery ready!"

"Second platoon, artillery ready."

"Three platoons, artillery ready!"

Artillery readiness meant that it was possible to shoot, and according to Suarez's orders, each gun was filled with shotguns, and it was a large shotgun, and each ammunition bag was forty, which was specially prepared for the heavy armor of the Eastern captives.

Suarez was dissatisfied with the performance of his artillery, believing that they were procrastinating and inefficient, but in the eyes of Zhang Nai and Aobai, this group of people was like puppets, completing precise and gorgeous maneuvers on the dangerous battlefield, and Aobai immediately roared: "Let Murima retreat, retreat quickly." ”

The trumpet sounded, but it was too late, Ao Bai cursed, and pointed to the artillerymen who were released: "Rush over and slaughter them." ”

Zhang Nai looked at it coldly, he wanted to laugh, because he got a treasure artillery, but he couldn't laugh, because his artillery commander chose the most dangerous position, and the cavalry he regarded as a sibling brother was destined to fight with the world's elite Dongyu cavalry.

Seeing the Qing army sweeping in the back, Zhang Nai casually pulled down the iron shield and covered his cold face.

The battlefield seemed to be quiet at this moment, only the chaotic sound of horses' hooves could be heard from far and near, and Suarez shouted in his characteristic loud voice: "Shoot quickly!" ”

Boom, boom, boom.

A smoke dragon appeared in front of the two armies, accompanied by a thunderous roar, with Suarez as the center, spreading towards the two armies, the wind from the muzzle of the cannon blew away the feathers on his hat, but it could not blow away the excitement in Suarez's heart: "Magnificent, magnificent!"

Pretty ladies, start your show and let the Tatars hear your screams! ”

The shrapnel swept through the flanks of Mulima's armor like a storm, and the explosion of gunpowder urged the steel to be discharged, and then violently tore through the armor of the Qing army, making a continuous popping sound, bringing out clouds of blood mist.

The elites of the two yellow flags were swept away by a burst of shrapnel at this time, and their bodies were torn apart, and the projectiles deformed and rolled in their bodies, tearing all the internal organs apart, and then broke out of their bodies.

In an instant, the thick phalanx of armored soldiers was thinned by two or three layers, and this group of unlucky eggs had their intestines rotten, their limbs broken, and they fell to the ground, forming a rag.

But this was only the beginning, not the end, and the rapid fire of the four-pounder gun was five shotguns in two minutes, which meant that 1,200 shotguns would sweep through everything that came across.

The thunderous salvo stopped, and Murima struggled to his feet, he lay on the ground as soon as he heard the cannonball, and he didn't die of good luck, he felt sticky on his head, and reached out and touched it, and pulled off a piece of colorful intestines and a few pieces of rotten flesh that I don't know which part.

There was a terrible howl all around, and as far as the eye could see, the elite of the two yellow flags fleeing for their lives, and Murima was in a state of trepidation, because at least a third of the people had fallen here, and he took off his clothes and began to flee, for he saw that the outermost phalanx on the left flank was beginning to press up, and the cavalry on the meadow also led their horses out, and then rushed to kill, and smashed the heads of the armored armor with iron helmets with their bones.

Ao Baiqin led the cavalry to rush and kill, he held a strong bow, rode a horse and opened the bow, galloped left and right, the elite under his command were good at riding and shooting, holding a hard bow, shooting arrows at close range, shooting the neck and face of the army, those who were shot, all of them fell in response.

The Shun army is the old tactic of three walls, the cavalry is arranged in three layers, head-on impact, and the Aobai department is strangled together, the cavalry led by the Aobai is strong, and the Shun army cavalry is many, and for a while, it is difficult to solve the killing.

Ao Bai came to the front, holding two big knives, into the battle to slash and kill, like a mad tiger, the cavalry of the Shun army could not be defeated, but there were also people with spears to stab the horses under his command, so that Ao Bai had to retreat temporarily.

Ao Bai looked from afar, and said that if the Horqin people came, they would be able to completely annihilate the cavalry of the Shun army, but they saw that the red-coated cannon of the armored soldiers had changed direction and shelled the assembly area of the Horqin cavalry in the distance with solid shells.

Because Zhang Nai also made arrangements, he arranged dozens of horses on the river embankment behind the mound, dragging tree branches, and making a lot of dust, as if reinforcements had arrived, and it was like cavalry circling behind.

Seeing that the armor soldiers of the headquarters were scattered, and they couldn't get close to the artillery after killing a few back and forth, Ao Bai gritted his teeth and could only retreat and widen the distance.

"Hahaha, it's a pleasure to kill! If you are thirsty, bring water! Zhang Nai retreated to the mound, pulled out the arrow stuck in his body, laughed, and shouted boldly.

In a fierce battle with the Dongyu cavalry, he lost more than 100 brothers, and the loss was twice that of Aobai, but it also proved that the Dongyu was not invincible, as long as he had the courage, he could kill him.

What's more, the enemy army collapsed, and the battle was won.

The finishing touches on the battlefield lasted until the night, and Tang Tong was in charge of the finishing touches, and at dinner, he came to report.

"Yihou, great victory, great victory!" Tang Tong laughed, he also hung up the color, but for the first time in his life, he killed so many Qing troops, or Manchurian Zhenlu, the elite of the two yellow flags, how could he not be excited?

"At least three hundred and seventy heads were cut off by the various tribes, all of them were real captives, and there was one Jiala Ezhen, and two Niu Lu Ezhen. Oh, what a win. Tang Tong shouted excitedly.

Zhang Nai nodded: "How much do we lose." ”

"I lost five gunners, and the cavalry of the Don knew that they were chasing the enemy and harvesting the heads, and without coming to cover me, several Tatar archers approached and shot my gunners." Suarez said dissatisfied, he didn't understand the practice of harvesting heads, because the West did not have this habit, of course he also knew, this is a means of remembering merit in the East, not to mention the heads of soldiers, dealing with the Eastern captives, even the heads of women and children can be regarded as merit.

Tang Tong smiled awkwardly, in his opinion, five people were nothing at all.

Tang Tong said: "I have lost 227 people, but many of them have been seriously injured, and at least 20 of them will not survive tomorrow. ”

Zhang Nai nodded, the cavalry he brought, lost one hundred and ten people, and seriously injured more than forty, counting, the losses of both sides were roughly equal.

"Did you catch a captive? General Don. Zhang Nai asked.

Tang Tong said: "My men cleaned up the battlefield and captured nine living Donglu, but a few of them are afraid that they will not live long, and four are not injured or slightly injured, one of them is a Niu Lu Ezhen." ”

"Okay, give me the captive, I'm going to interrogate it." Zhang Nai said.

Tang Tong naturally doesn't have any opinions, anyway, he has a lot of credit for winning this battle, but the coach is the righteous marquis in front of him after all.

The screams of the captives rang out for a night, and the next day, Zhang Nai got everything he wanted, and he figured out the size of the Aobai department, which was only three thousand five hundred people, of which two yellow flags were more than a thousand, and the rest were Han troops, the Han army was on the road, and the Horqin cavalry was about two thousand in size, and they joined in by themselves.

Obviously, the guess is right, this is not the workhorse.

"General Tang, as soon as the morning dawns, we are going to face the Han army that is coming, sit down and discuss how to fight together." Zhang Nai handed him a roasted rib and said with a smile.

Tang Tong sat down, Suarez was already feasting, the meat was stuffed with his mouth, Suarez said: "Tang, I heard that the Han army and Tatars are all firearms troops, what firearms do they have, can you tell us?" ”

Tang Tong said: "Anyway, it's not as powerful as your cannon." ”

Suarez laughed and said, "Of course, yesterday was just a small show!" ”
