At this time, the more than 200 guns of the artillery battalion had all opened fire, and the Franc machine guns bombarded the rear of the Qing army at the maximum elevation angle, and the rocket artillery vehicles concentrated their fire to bombard the middle of the Qing army's cavalry formation. The Huzun artillery with the closest range was all deployed in front of the infantry array, relying on a considerable number of chariots to bombard the vanguard soldiers and horses of the Qing army's cavalry formation at close range.

The three types of artillery of the artillery battalion can complement each other in terms of firing range, and the long, medium and near are intertwined, so that the lethality of the artillery reaches the maximum.

At this time, the casualties of the Qing army's cavalry array were huge, and the light cavalry and dead soldiers at the front of the special equipment became the key "object of attention" of the Huzun artillery, and countless scattered projectiles were fired, so that those Qing soldiers and horses turned on their backs, and in front of the infantry battalions of the new army, a "corpse line" of more than two miles long was formed, all of which were the corpses of Qing soldiers and war horses!

However, even though the firepower of the artillery battalion was very strong, those Qing iron cavalry still continued to charge despite the casualties, and began to rush towards several phalanxes of the infantry of the new army.

In the blink of an eye, countless blood arrows spurted out, and in the screams and confusion, both the lightly armored archers and the heavily armored dead soldiers fell in large numbers. In the face of such fierce firepower, the lightly armored archers of the Qing army could not shoot effectively at all, and they were hit by artillery fire before they even had time to release their arrows, or the war horses under their crotch were frightened and began to flee, so that the arrows shot by the Qing army were sparse and could not be effectively killed at all.

Even the horses driven by the Qing army's iron cavalry were not allowed to come close, and many were killed by the scattered bullets of the Huzun cannon, and the remaining horses were frightened and ran around with a neigh, not only did not rush away from the chariots in front of the new army, but disrupted the formation of the Qing army's iron cavalry.

At this time, the light cavalry and horses in front suffered heavy casualties, either fled, or had become corpses on the ground, and then the dead heavy cavalry of the Qing army appeared in front and became the next group of targets to be bombarded by Huzun artillery.

In fact, these dead soldiers rushed into battle, and their power was not to be underestimated, and if the men and horses were heavily armoured, they could sometimes even rush into some walled cities. However, against the shotgun of the Tiger Cannon, those dead soldiers were a dead end, even if they were wearing three layers of heavy armor, they would definitely not be able to resist the close-range bombardment of the artillery. And in order to increase the power of the heavy cavalry, they are closely lined up, and they have become the target of shotguns.

"Boom!"

Another round of salvo fire, at this time those dead soldiers had rushed to the distance of one hundred and twenty paces in front of the formation, and in front of each formation were hit by the scattered shells of the Huzun cannon, and the dead men and horses fell down in a crowd, and many bloody horses jumped in frenzy, causing great obstacles and confusion to the follow-up men and horses.

The momentum and array of the Qing army's iron cavalry suddenly slowed down, but by inertia, there were still some remnants of more than one horse in front, and there were follow-up rolling heavy horses. On the whole, the Qing army's iron cavalry continued to advance, getting closer and closer to the new army's infantry array.

Liu Yan watched the battlefield situation in the rear Chinese army, and had to admit that the Qing army's will to fight was still very strong at this time, at least stronger than the vast majority of the Ming army.

Of course, all this is going to end now, after all, with Liu Yan's arrival, it is already a question whether the Qing army can still enter the customs. Even Liu Yan is confident that as long as his power goes further in the future, it will be a big question whether the Manchus can be firmly entrenched in Liaodong!

At this time, the Qing army's vanguard had already rushed within 100 steps in front of the formation, and Liu Yan immediately ordered: "Order all battalions: Bird guns to fire!" ”

With a swan whistle sounding, the front of the new army in Qinglai Town was suddenly covered with white smoke, and fierce bird guns fired, and three infantry battalions, totaling more than 21,000 bird guns, began to fire in turn salvos, such fierce firepower, such a huge sound, whether it was the generals of the Qing army or Wu Sangui in the distance, they had never seen it.

At this time, Liu Yan couldn't see the movement outside the formation clearly, and his vision from the Chinese army was blocked. However, Liu Yan was not worried, because he knew in his heart that under such fierce firepower, the Qing army in front of the battle would definitely be a mess of dead and wounded. If the Qing army's iron cavalry could still rush to the front of the formation and break through the car formation in front of the formation under the salvo of more than 20,000 bird guns, under the flanking of artillery, it would really be a humanoid Gundam!

In the distance, Wu Sangui always paid attention to the battle situation here, saw the situation in front of the battle in the clairvoyant mirror, and looked at the fierce bird firepower, he was already out of the world and dumbfounded.

"Liu Yan's department is so strong!"

Wu Sangui finally understood why Liu Yan's new army was able to defeat the Qing army's iron cavalry repeatedly, and why other military towns also had firearms, but they were never as good as Liu Yan's.

Speaking of bird guns alone, there are many equipment in the Ming army, but like Liu Yan, equipped with so many well-made and all flint bird guns, there is only one in the entire Ming Dynasty!

"Maybe after this battle, I will also learn from Liu Yan and start training the new army!"

At the same time, on the battlefield, among the projectiles flying all over the sky, some dead soldiers were beaten to pieces on the spot, and many more were beaten by lead bullets and covered in blood.

The dead soldiers in front of the formation everywhere have now become the end of the crossbow, and the follow-up heavy cavalry will rush, and there is no place for them to let go of their horsepower, because at this time, the ground in front of the army formation is already full of corpses, and they will even trip over when they walk, let alone run horses.

"Earthquake Thunder!"

Seeing that the Qing army's iron cavalry in front of him was in a mess, Liu Yan ordered to throw the earth-shattering thunder at close range, and at this time, within a hundred steps in front of the military formation, a large number of Qing soldiers and horses gathered, they were either holding shields and still charging, or scurrying around trying to escape, or they were already frightened stupid by the fierce fire, squatting, standing, or even lying on the ground crying.

At this time, it is a good time for the Heaven-Shaking Thunder to exert its lethal power!

Soon the order was conveyed, and the sword and shield men who had been prepared in each battalion stepped forward one after another, lit the thunder-shaking ropes in their hands, and then threw them forward with all their might.

"Boom!"

The explosions of earth-shattering thunder were mixed with the sound of salvos of birds and the roar of artillery, making the already noisy battlefield even more lively.

In the continuous fire and smoke on the battlefield, toxin-laden thistles and gravel flew sideways, and the Qing army's iron cavalry was blown up, and a group of ghosts cried wolf.

"Put!"

Another round of volleys, and the birds and gunners of the various phalanxes of the new army all spewed out a large puff of dense gunsmoke, and the thick white smoke quickly covered the area of these vehicle positions. Then it spread, enveloping the phalanxes one by one, and finally it seemed that the entire infantry phalanx of the new army in Qinglai Town was shrouded in thick smoke.

Suddenly, after a breeze, Liu Yan saw through the smoke of gunpowder that some of the Qing army's heavy armor really rushed to the front, and those Qing army iron cavalry all dismounted and fought on foot, holding a big shield and walking forward quickly, and couldn't help but admire the tenacity of the Qing army at this time.

Immediately afterwards, those Qing army heavy armor were next to the chariot, holding shields in one hand and throwing some iron bones, javelins, flying axes and other sharp weapons into the formation with the other.

But that's all, those Qing army heavy armor just threw a round, and they were shot by the bird guns that split their heads and faces, and then a lot of earth-shattering thunder fell, blowing their corpses into minced meat.

In the distance, there were still a large number of Qing army iron cavalry constantly rushing over, and in order to avoid the earth-shaking thunder and artillery fire, they unconsciously moved closer to the middle. However, those Qing army iron cavalry seemed to have forgotten that the bird guns of the new army in Qinglai Town could break through heavy armor in about 100 steps.

So in the fierce sound of the platoon, the flames that burst out from behind the chariot were one after another, and the heavy projectiles continued to bombard the Qing army iron cavalry rushing in front, and many Qing soldiers and horses in front of each formation were shot and fell.

Under such a charge, it was as if it was sent to death in vain, and until now, the casualties of the Qing army have been very heavy, and how many casualties have the new army in Qinglai Town? It is estimated that only the wave of heavy armor throwing iron bones, javelins, and throwing axes just now caused some casualties to those hateful new troops in Qinglai Town, some almost negligible casualties!

In this way, although those dead soldiers and sharp soldiers are elite, how can they have the ability to resist in the face of artillery, shotguns, earth-shattering thunder and more than 20,000 excellent bird guns? 33

After every artillery roar, after every salvo of birds, a large number of Qing soldiers and horses fell in a pool of blood, and the miserable howls were endless, even if they were very well equipped, even if they had a martial skill, but in front of firearms, they were so cheap.

At this time, in the Qing army's array, almost all of Zilharang, Haoge, Azig and others looked into the distance with red eyes, and everyone also watched the battle with a clairvoyant mirror, seeing that the casualties of their own soldiers and horses were so heavy, everyone's hearts were like dripping blood.

When did the warriors of the Qing Dynasty become so cheap and needed to use their lives to break through the enemy's battle formation?

"Abominable Liu Yan!"

Hauge gritted his teeth and cursed, but there was no previous arrogance in his eyes, even Azig beside him, looking at the battle ahead, there was only anxiety and heartache, and the previous arrogance had disappeared with the roar in the distance.

"Prince Zheng!"

Hauge couldn't stand it any longer, and shouted: "What to do now, the casualties of the warriors are too great!" ”

Zilharang was unusual, and did not retreat before, but said: "Prince Su must remember! At this time, the troops were withdrawn, and those warriors who died in battle died in vain! ”

Zilharang pointed to the battlefield in the distance and said loudly: "You see, the warriors of the various banners are about to rush to the front of Liu Yan's army, and if you work harder, you can break through the army formation of Liu Yan's army and fight with it in close combat!" ”

When Haoge heard this, he also suppressed the anger in his heart, if it was melee hand-to-hand combat, he didn't believe it, could Liu Yan's department still be stronger than the Qing warriors?

Azig also gritted his teeth and said: "In this way, then press some of the soldiers and horses left behind by the Chinese army and fight with Liu Yan!" As long as I can break through Liu Yan's army formation, my Qing warriors will be a tiger into the flock, no matter whether Liu Yan has 50,000 or 60,000 people, it will be a rout! ”

Some people died, but not completely......
