"Bang bang..."

Before Habilay finished speaking, the musketeers in the first row of the Ming army's formation immediately pulled the trigger on the Zhenglan Banner Cavalry.

There was a sound like exploding beans, and the chest of Zhenglan Qijiala Ezhen, who was rushing in front, was shot through by five or six mini bullets.

The three layers of armor he wore didn't have any protective effect at all. It was instantly torn open by mini bullets, and there were several bloody holes in his chest that were as big as punches.

"ah……"

Habilie screamed and fell off his horse. Almost at the same time that he was shot to death, the Jiannu Zhenglan Banner cavalry beside Habili were shot and fell off their horses.

A round of shooting by the Longteng Army caused more than half of the 800 Zhenglan Banner casualties.

The remaining Jiannu still hadn't figured out what was going on. The Ming Army's artillery array began the second round of shooting, and then the third round of shooting:

"Bang bang..."

After a burst of gunfire, the Eight Hundred Zhenglan Banner was almost completely wiped out by three rows of volleys from the Ming Army's artillery array.

The remaining dozens of Jian slaves had never seen such a ferocious firearm. They were so frightened that they were so frightened that they quickly turned their horses and prepared to retreat.

"Bang bang..."

Another burst of gunfire rang out, and only a few dozen cavalrymen of the Zhenglan Banner were beaten into a hornet's nest by mini bullets.

The Jiannu Zhenghong Banner cavalry who rushed behind the Zhenglan Banner watched helplessly as the Zhenglan Banner was almost annihilated by the Ming Army's artillery array in a dozen breaths. They really wanted to turn around and run away.

However, they did not dare to disobey Abbas's order and could only disperse and launch a fierce charge towards the Ming army's formation.

Seeing the overwhelming Jiannu cavalry rushing towards them, Zhu Cixiang estimated that there were five to six thousand troops, and he immediately issued an order:

"Attention, when Jiannu is 400 steps away from the phalanx, the phalanx will retreat ten steps!"

"Here"

Sun Yingyuan accepted the order and immediately conveyed the Crown Prince's order.

Six thousand Jiannu cavalry rushed towards the Ming army's formation like a violent storm. This large-scale cavalry charge shocked the opponent so much that the musketeers in the front row of the Longteng army's formation felt a tremor in their hearts.

If it were the former Shenji Battalion, they would probably have shot Jiannu when he was only 300 paces away, and then run away.

But since joining the National Defense Army, he has not dared to do this.

The generals sent by the East Palace Guards were very fierce. They all stared at Jiannu and his subordinates with eyes as wide as bells, so that the Longteng Army firearms soldiers did not dare to take a step further, otherwise they would only be beaten on the spot by the formation.

.

The cavalry attacked very quickly. In the blink of an eye, Jian Nu raised the red flag and rushed to the front of the square formation 400 steps away.

Sun Yingyuan waved the command flag in his hand, and the musketeers in the front row immediately retreated ten steps.

Jiannu, who was rushing in front, saw the Ming army retreating. At first they thought the Ming army was afraid of retreating, so they immediately accelerated and charged...

When they were two hundred steps away from the Ming army's formation, they discovered that rows of black gun muzzles in front of the Ming army's formation were facing them. Niu Lu Zhangjing, who was rushing to the front, screamed:

"artillery……"

Yes, after the Longteng Army retreated, a hundred tiger squatting cannons appeared in front of Jiannu.

Before they could react, the artillerymen of the National Defense Army lit the artillery fuses one after another.

Because the Tiger Crouching Cannon has a low depression angle, it is inconvenient to fire from behind, so it was deployed by the Longteng Army in front of the square formation.

The Tiger Crouching Cannon is an early mortar style. It is an artillery that mainly shoots in a straight direction. It is suitable for combat areas such as mountains, forests and paddy fields that hinder the mobility of artillery.

The Tiger Crouching Cannon is also the most commonly used firearm in Qi Jiguang's army. This lightweight artillery has a thin barrel and a short range (about 500 meters).

However, the slender barrel makes it more suitable for mountain combat. It is maneuverable and can be launched at large elevation angles and equipped with a large number of grassroots troops. It is more advanced than European mortars of the same period.

The Tiger Crouching Cannon is 2 feet long from head to tail, with seven iron hoops added around the body. The head of the cannon is held up by two iron claws and has an iron trip. The total weight is 36 kilograms.

It looks powerful and majestic. Before firing, the gun body must be fixed to the ground with large iron nails.

Each shot can be loaded with 100 small lead pieces or pebbles weighing 5 taels, and a large iron bullet or stone bullet weighing 30 taels is used to top it.

When fired, large and small bullets fly out together with a roar like thunder. The lethality and radiation range are very large. It is especially suitable for field battles.

In order to deal a sudden blow to Jiannu, Zhu Cixi ordered the musketeers to block the Crouching Tiger Cannon.

One hundred crouching tiger cannons are loaded with shotgun shells, and are divided into two rows, front and rear, with fifty guns in each row. In this way, the crouching tiger cannons can be deployed in two rows to fire at the same time.

When the Jiannu cavalry saw the Tiger Crouching Cannon suddenly appear, they were all frightened. They all knew how powerful this thing was.

But they were charging with all their strength, and they had no way to retreat. They had no choice but to step forward and test the power of the Minghu Crouching Cannon.

"Rumble..."

The first row of tiger crouching cannons instantly sprayed out fifty large iron balls, directly piercing the Jian slaves in front, including men and horses.

Many iron balls did not lose strength after penetrating the bodies of Jiannu and the war horses, and once again killed Jiannu and his horses behind.

Before Jiannu could recover, the crouching tiger cannon fired a barrage of shotgun shells at the charging Jiannu.

The fifty squatting tiger cannons can blast out thousands of iron beads and gravel in an instant, turning the Jiannu who just rushed up into a pulp.

Just as the cavalry in front fell, the second row of Crouching Tiger Cannons was ignited by Ming artillery.

"Rumble..."

There were several loud noises in succession, and the Jian Nu within two hundred steps were blasted into sieves by the shot shells of a hundred tiger cannons.

What kind of three-layer armor is nothing in front of the Tiger Crouching Cannon, it was easily broken through.

A hundred tiger squatting cannons instantly caused more than a thousand casualties in Jiannu Zhenghongqi, making Jiannu frightened.

Zhenghongqi Jia Laerzhen saw that the Ming army's hundred artillery pieces had been fired. He knew that the Tiger Crouching Cannon was slow to load, so he immediately ordered the Jiannu cavalry to speed up the charge and not give the Ming army a chance to bombard again.

"Quick, speed up the charge..."

Jiannu wanted to take advantage of the lull in the Ming army's artillery to overwhelm the Ming army's formation, but Sun Yingyuan was already prepared, and he immediately sent an order:

"The musketeers take three steps forward, the first row is ready to fire!"

The first row of the musket formation immediately stepped forward three steps and raised their Huangming rifles. At this time, the vanguard of the Jiannu cavalry had already rushed about 150 steps in front of the Ming army's formation.

Sun Yingyuan waved the flag in his hand:

"The first row opens fire..."

"Bang bang..."

The first row of 1,500 Huangming rifles burst out in anger. Jiannu who was rushing in front was knocked down with his red flag and his men and horses. Jiannu who was not killed by the mini bullet was instantly trampled by the cavalry rushing up from behind.

Turn into meat paste.

Zhang Jing, who was riding a red flag, fell off his horse and rolled around. He was lucky enough to escape the iron hooves of the horse, but as soon as he stood up, he was shot in the head by a sniper.

"Second row fire!"

"Bang bang..."

As three rows of the Ming army's artillery array fired continuously, Jiannuzheng's red flag fell in pieces after being bombarded by mini bombs.

About five minutes into the battle, at least two thousand Jianu Manchu soldiers fell on the charging road, and not even Ming army Mao encountered them.

I have to say that the Jiannu were really powerful in combat, and their military discipline was also strict. Even if they suffered heavy casualties, they would never retreat without orders from above.

Niulu Zhangjing died in the battle, and immediately the leader of the Baijia soldiers of Baya took over the command and directed Jiannu to continue the charge.

This kind of powerful army was definitely a formidable opponent in the cold weapon era, but times have changed.

In front of the Ming army's artillery formation, the bravery of the slaves completely turned into collective suicide. The harder they charged, the more casualties they suffered.
