Liu Haojia patted the railing and said: "That's right, it's a lot of casualties!" Because if they want to charge the formation, they have to use dense formations! And they are all cavalry, and the target is much larger than the infantry! Not to mention that buckshot hits people, even if it hits a horse, it can be overturned instantly! As soon as they fall off their horses, they will be trampled to death by their own people! ”

At this moment, they only heard the continuous sound of artillery below, and everyone hurriedly turned their heads to look down, only to see that the artillery in the center of the phalanx had begun to fire continuously! In the blink of an eye, a long distance of land was dusty! When everyone saw this scene, they seemed to see those Mongolian Tartars who were standing there watching their comrades go into battle, and they couldn't help but smile when they were hit by the sudden falling cannonballs!

Fifteen rounds of artillery were fired, and the infantry around the phalanx began to fire volleys one after another! At this moment, the dense phalanx seemed to suddenly turn from buds to flowers! The unfurling petals are thick smoke!

Since the teams on the four sides are the heaviest, the firecrackers are extremely dense! So the speed of the round shot couldn't be faster, and in the blink of an eye, ten rounds of firearms were fired! But at this time, Liu Haojia had already ordered them to stop shooting, and then said with a smile: "Lord Qi, now your 10,000-strong team has probably been dispersed, right?" Caught off guard, the Tartars have no determination to fight to the death! Estimate how many casualties there are? ”

Qi Jiguang had been holding a telescope to watch the shooting of the phalanx, and when he heard the words of the Liu family, he put down the telescope and said: "I dare not say more, there must be a loss of thousands of people!" ”

Liu Haojia raised his eyebrows and said, "What? My firearms are so dense, how can I kill only a thousand people? Do you still use their firearms as firearms for the border army? ”

At this time, everyone entered the play, and when they heard Liu Haojia say this, they all glared at Qi Jiguang angrily, thinking that he was deliberately reducing his losses! And Qi Jiguang said unhurriedly: "The cavalry is running with great wind and dust. It's hard to aim at all! It's not very likely to hit people like a target, so the loss of a thousand people is already quite a lot! And when the thousand are sixty steps in front of the formation, you can release the arrows, and you should also have dead and wounded! ”

Liu Haojia sneered and said, "This is a subordinate official, isn't it?" Just now I should have shown you the equipment of the soldiers under the command of this officer when they are fighting! All soldiers had helmets and cuirasses, and at a distance of sixty paces, the feathered arrows of the Tartars could not break the armor at all, at most they were only wounded in the shoulders and arms, and a little wounding was enough! ”

Qi Jiguang nodded and said, "That's right!" There are relatively few iron arrows used in Tartars, and it is indeed difficult to break armor! It's better to do this, your side has suffered a slight loss, and our side has lost 1,200 people, no more! ”

Then the two of them haggled and finally reached a consensus on the number of 1,000 people! Later, after the 10,000 people besieging the phalanx withdrew, Liu Haojia ordered half of the Franco's cannons to be deployed in front of the formation, and the other half of the Franco's cannons were placed in the open space between the phalanx!

Then the Mongol Tartars, who suffered a loss, divided their troops into 20,000 troops and attacked from the left and right sides of the phalanx! The soldier was asked to go within fifty paces and shoot! However, their dense formation was subjected to three consecutive rounds of fire from the Fran cannons!

After firing the artillery, the artillerymen threw down the artillery and ran away, returning directly to the formation! And in the face of the trophy of artillery, the Tartar cavalry naturally swarmed up! It's metal, and if you take it back, you can exchange it for a scimitar and an iron arrowhead! However, they were greedy and retreated after being hit by the other half of the Franky cannon and firecrackers, suffering heavy casualties!

And then the battle continued! Qi Jiguang began to cut wood to build shields and shield carts to cover the dismounted cavalry in foot combat! Liu Haojia knew that there were not many trees on the grassland, and even if he built a shield car in a hurry, he couldn't build much! And he smashed the shield cart with artillery fire, and then used the Franco cannon to sweep the infantry behind the shield cart!

Then Qi Jiguang made a strange plan again, ignited the tail of the war horse and used the fire horse array to impact the phalanx! But most of the war horses died under the fire of shotguns and firearms, and the few war horses that rushed to the front of the phalanx also died in front of the rejection horses! Some of the horses that lined up in the middle of another phalanx were also killed by the oncoming firecrackers, or were directly poked to death by pikemen! And the cavalry that followed was flanked by two phalanxes, and a group of people died in vain!

Qi Jiguang saw that the strong attack could not work, so he used the cavalry's mobility ability to attack in rotation! Want to drag the infantry down!

However, Liu Haojia commanded the rotation of the phalanx inside and outside the town, and the soldiers who rotated back could drink water and rest, surviving his harassment tactics!

During the whole process, Liu Haojia also organized artillery bombardment from time to time to assemble the cavalry brigade for repair, forcing them to stay away from the position, prolonging the time and distance for them to go into battle, and also having to swim at a low speed without getting enough rest!

He even used the cavalry in the center of the phalanx that had never appeared to occasionally counterattack to cut off the opponent's attacking team, or the opponent's attacking formation was scattered by firearms to meet the head-on attack!

The two sides fought vividly, and the infantry below kept simulating various combat actions under the mobilization of Liu Haojia! And what is amazing is that the entire formation has not been messed up from beginning to end, and a large phalanx formation has been maintained!

In the end, when the two sides were entangled together until it was close to evening, both sides were already exhausted, and Liu Haojia took the opportunity of the opponent's rotation time for too long to unfold the formation and pressed the opponent in the posture of two rows of squares!

Seeing this, Qi Jiguang said angrily: "Your infantry has been fighting for almost a day, and you haven't eaten much, where do you have such good physical strength!" ”

And Liu Haojia said: "The soldiers of the lower officers are not short-handed combat, they are just loaded with gunpowder and pulled the trigger, they are not tired at all, at most their legs are sore!" ”

After the two sides calculated for a long time, Qi Jiguang had to admit that the firecracker soldiers did have an advantage in this regard over the hand-to-hand combat troops! They didn't spend much physical strength at all, they should have the spare strength to counterattack!

After determining this article, Qi Jiguang immediately mobilized the cavalry to disperse, wanting to tempt Liu Haojia to pursue and divide his troops! However, Liu Haojia resolutely did not divide the troops, and after chasing for a period of time, he immediately shrank back and rotated the phalanx to let the soldiers rest!

At this time of the battle, even the laymen on the high platform could see that neither side could help anyone, and it should probably be a handshake! However, they all felt that Liu Haojia had won, because he used one-third of his troops to resist the attack of the Tartars, and he could still fight back!

But at this time, Zhang Han actually said loudly to Qi Jiguang: "Lord Qi, you still have more than 20,000 cavalry in your hands, one left and one right, rushing up!" As long as you sacrifice a little, won't you break through the opponent's phalanx by rushing in! ”
