A three-eyed gun can fire three rounds in a row, and five hundred three-eyed guns can fire two consecutive volleys. In an instant, more than three thousand guns can be fired.

Although the Liaodong Army's marksmanship was not very accurate, they still killed hundreds of Jiannu archers in three consecutive rounds of volleys...

The military discipline of the Jiannu was indeed very strict. Regardless of the fact that their companions fell one by one, they immediately started shooting arrows at the Ming army's formation again:

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

A shower of arrows came, and suddenly there were dozens more arrows in the hands of muskets. Some soldiers who had not had time to hide in the shields were also hit by arrows, and they fell down one by one...

Under the fierce exchanges between the Ming army's three-eyed muskets and the Jiannu archers, casualties on both sides continued to increase on a large scale. Because of the disadvantages in the number and rate of fire of the fire muskets, the Ming army's casualties were obviously greater.

The Liaodong Army under Liu Zhaoji suffered casualties of about a thousand, Wu Sangui also suffered nearly a thousand casualties, and Zu Dashou had only about 800 casualties because of his large number of shields.

The casualties among the Jiannu archers were not small, at least about 500, and more than 200 of the Mongolian cavalry were also killed. However, compared to the Ming army, the Jiannu casualties were...

If Jiannu kept firing his bows and arrows like this, Liaodong's heavy soldiers and Guan Ning's army might collapse. In fact, without Emperor Shenwu's death order, the Ming army in the three towns might have been defeated.

Seeing the sharp decrease in the number of spearmen in Liaodong, many Ming troops hid in their shields when Jiannu's bows and arrows were fired, and the spear formation almost existed in name only.

How could Dorgon miss such a good opportunity? He immediately ordered the Mongolian cavalry to rush over. At the same time, the Zhengbai Banner cavalry also accelerated towards the Ming army's formation.

"Da da da……"

While the Mongolian army was charging, Jiannu fired his final round of rifle fire and immediately mounted his horse to prepare for the final charge...

As soon as the Mongolian army rushed forward, the Liaodong Army immediately fired three-eyed blunderbuss at the Mongolian cavalry. A burst of blunderbuss knocked over a hundred Mongolian cavalry. They immediately threw away the three-eyed blunderbuss, grabbed their spears from the ground, and lined up in front.

"Da da da……"

When the Ming army returned to the pike formation, the Mongolian cavalry fired another round of arrows and shot down dozens of pikemen. Liu Zhaoji waved his hand, and soldiers immediately stepped forward to fill the empty positions.

The morale of the Liaodong soldiers today was completely aroused. Under the leadership of Liu Zhaoji, they gritted their teeth and fought to the death. You must know that at this time, they had already suffered more than half of their casualties and would have fled long ago.

Fortunately, they have horse antlers in front of them to resist the rapid advance of Jiannu's cavalry. Otherwise, by the time his pikemen complete their formation, Jiannu would have been in front of you long ago.

The three-eyed musket had no time to reload and was thrown to the ground. Only sparse arrows from the Guan Ning army in the rear formation were fired at the dismounted horses to destroy the Mongolian army that resisted the horse.

The Mongolian army ignored the bows and arrows fired at them and continued to destroy Juma. The Ming troops in the three towns did not dare to take the initiative and could only watch the Mongolian army destroy Juma...

Soon, the Mongolian army destroyed the resisting horses in front of the formation and took the lead in charging up...

"Pikemen, you are all heroes, you must hold on..."

Seeing the Mongolian cavalry rushing up, Liu Zhaoji held a big sword in his hand and rushed behind the pikemen to take command.

"Da da da……"

In almost a few breaths, the Mongolian cavalry rushed to the spearmen's formation, and Liu Zhaoji shouted:

"Stab..."

"Shua..."

A row of spears all stabbed at the Mongolian horses, and some spears stabbed the Tatars on the horses. More than a dozen Mongolian horses were knocked down, and at the same time, the spearmen were also knocked away by the inertia of the horses.

The spears aimed at the Tatars on the horse almost missed, but the spearmen were also knocked away by the horses, and a large gap instantly appeared in the town of spears.

"Back row pikemen, enter!"

Liu Zhaoji slashed to death every Tatar who fell into the formation, and at the same time ordered the second row of spearmen to step forward and block the gap...

The Mongolian troops were all on light cavalry. Behind them, the Tatars saw rows of gleaming spears. They immediately turned their horses and retreated to the left and right wings.

They are not Jiannu heavy-armored cavalry, and they will not attack the spear formation with all their strength, because Jiannu's status is higher than that of the Han army. This is also the case in normal times, and Jiannu will not punish them severely.

As soon as the Mongolian army separated to the two sides, Jiannu's heavy armored cavalry rushed over. At this time, Zu Dashou from behind hurriedly shouted for the Liaodong soldiers to disperse to the two wings.

Liu Zhaoji knew that Zu Dashou was going to use rockets, so he hurriedly ordered his men to disperse:

"Get out of the way..."

This kind of rocket is a magical arrow. It is basically a one-time use. When you light the match rope, you will fire a volley. Because of the trouble of loading, it is basically abandoned after one round.

Knowing that Jiannu's heavy armor would charge into the formation, Zu Dashou had been holding back and not using it. When he saw Jiannu's heavy armor rushing towards him, he knew it was time to use rockets.

Almost two breaths after the Liaodong Army dispersed, rows of rockets from the Zu Dashou Formation roared and flew towards Jiannu's heavy armored cavalry:

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Thousands of rockets shot out, hitting the heavy armored cavalry of Jiannu who rushed to the front of the formation.

No matter how many layers of Jiannu's heavy armor they wore, as long as they hit at such a close range, the rockets would definitely penetrate their bodies with ease.

"Puff puff……"

The sound of bursts of arrow tips penetrating through Jiannu's armor and the bodies of war horses was heard, and the rapidly charging Jiannu heavy-armored cavalry fell one by one like wheat.

Just as Jiannu fell down in front, the rockets fired from behind swept away Jiannu who had just emerged, and the battlefield was suddenly filled with blood mist...

In later generations, after about three minutes, everything returned to calm, and only the wails of the wounded soldiers could be heard on the battlefield.

In about three minutes, at least about 500 Jiannu heavy-armored cavalry fell under the arrows of Shenji. Dorgon was so distressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

"The rockets are finished, the spearmen continue..."

After the magic arrow was fired, Zu Kuan hurriedly reminded Liu Zhaoji loudly. At the moment when the slaves were confused, Liu Zhaoji once again ordered the Liaodong Army to complete the arrangement of the spear array.

Dorgon suspected that there were rockets in the Ming army's formation, but the Ming army did not use rockets when they fired just now, so he thought his guess was wrong.

If it were in the past, Dorgon would definitely have used the Han army to rush into the battle in the first stage, because the Han army had firecrackers in their hands. However, in the Battle of Tashan, the Zhengbai Banner Han army was almost completely wiped out.

Now there are only more than 200 Han troops under his command. These two hundred people are guarding Huang Taiji's coffin. Dorgon knows that it will be useless for them to go up.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The heavy armored cavalry suffered heavy casualties. Dorgon did not intend to continue charging, and hurriedly ordered the Tatar cavalry to shoot at the Liaodong Army's spear formation:

"Mongolian army, use bows and arrows to kill the pikemen."

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

The Mongolian army was unable to charge into the spear formation, but cavalry shooting was not a problem at all. More than a thousand Tatars began to shoot arrows again. If the spearmen did not use shields, they would definitely become targets.

Liu Zhaoji was also helpless and hurriedly ordered the shield soldiers to go up to protect the spearmen. But as soon as the sword and shield soldiers went up, Jiannu's heavy armor pounced on him again.

"Da da da……"

A burst of hoofbeats suddenly sounded, and soon the Jiannu heavy-armored cavalry rushed to the front of the formation. They did not slow down at all, and the armored horses directly hit the spears and shields.

"Bang bang bang..."

Hundreds of spearmen were knocked away in an instant. Jiannu's heavy armor easily rushed into the spear formation. Jiannu did not continue to kill on the horse, but jumped off the horse and fought with heavy weapons.

Pikemen can fight at long distances. Once Jiannu gets close, they basically have no power to fight back.

Zhengbai Banner Niulu Zhangjing Yibai and his horse fell beside the pikemen, and several pikemen immediately stabbed Yibai.

Yibai hurriedly used a big ax to push away several spears, and the big ax chopped off the calves of several Ming soldiers. Several Ming soldiers fell to the ground screaming.

The spears of the spearmen were too long to pose a threat to Jiannu at close range. Yibai killed six Ming army spearmen by himself.

"Click..."

When Yibai's big ax struck another Ming army spearman, Liu Zhaoji stepped forward quickly, the sword in his hand turned into a cold light, and Yibai's head dragged the money rat tail away from his neck...

Just as he chopped off Yibai's head, a javelin pierced Liu Zhaoji's waist from behind. Liu Zhaoji only felt a pain in his lower back. Without even looking at it, he turned back and chopped off the head of the slave who sneaked up on him.

, and reminded his subordinates to give up their spears.

"Quickly, pick up the short weapons on the ground and kill the slaves..."

Only then did the pikeman react. He hurriedly threw away his spear and picked up the broadsword and the three-eyed gun on the ground. The three-eyed gun was like a hammer and would kill Jiannu if he hit it hard on the head.

"Commander, are you injured?"

Just as Liu Zhaoji was about to go forward and kill Jiannu, his servants hurriedly stepped forward to surround him. Just now, by accident, they were rushed out of the protective circle of servants by the commander.

Liu Zhaoji reached out and touched the injured area on his lower back, and found that there was very little blood, a small hole appeared on the armor, and the javelin had fallen off on its own, indicating that it was just a skin injury. He shouted and rushed forward to kill Jiannu again.

"Kill the prisoners!"

At this time, more and more Jiannu entered the formation, and there were less than 500 Liaodong soldiers left under Liu Zhaoji's command. Liu Zhaoji ignored them completely and used his machete to kill Jiannu.

"Kill the prisoners..."

At this time, Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou finally led their troops to charge forward, cavalry against cavalry, cavalry against infantry, Ming army and Jiannu fighting in a melee.

Wu Sangui's three thousand servants and Zu Dashou's servants were no worse than Jiannu. Under the command of his master, he and Jiannu were killed by Zhengbaiqi inextricably.

However, Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou did not participate in the battle in person. They were both on horseback and commanded the battle under the protection of some servants.

Several brothers from the Zu family were pretty good. They all personally went into battle against the Jian Nu. Zu Kuan was the most desperate. There was a gap in the edge of the sword in his hand. He killed two Jian Nu and three Tatars with his own hands.

Wang Fuchen flew a big sword, and the heads of Jiannu who were also killed were rolling. Before Jiannu's white-armored soldiers joined the battle, the Ming army, under the influence of the general's personal participation in the battle, actually fought evenly with Jiannu in hand-to-hand combat.

The battlefield was full of fierce clashes of weapons and the sound of shouts and neighs. Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui who were watching the battle were frightened. They had not seen such a bloody style of fighting for a long time...

Dorgon led the Bagala camp and watched the Ming army and Jiannu fight for blood. His brows were furrowed and beads of sweat were already dripping from his head. Today, the Ming army made him look on indifferently.

Upon seeing this, Baya Lahu Zhangjing and Chen Tai hurriedly raised their hands and said:

"Master, the Ming army, which usually collapses in one strike, is like a chicken blood today. Let the slaves lead the white-armored soldiers to go up and destroy their morale?"

Ba Ya La, generally written in Chinese characters as Bai Jia Bing, is basically composed of the elite fighting force of each Niu Lu of Jian Nu.
