However, the Qing army not only had sabers, they also had horse bows, and one hundred and fifty paces away, the Qing army shot the first round of arrows, and the Ming cavalry began to land with arrows non-stop. Fortunately, Zhu Si had learned the ability to hide in stirrups, and after countless trainings, he was finally able to hide under the saddle of his variegated flower horse. Two arrows flew in front of him, and they went straight to Zhu Si's people, instead of running to the horse. The speed is extremely fast, the angle is tricky, Zhu Siyan sees that there is no way to dodge, and there is no way to dodge. With two 'bangs', Ma Wannian's rainstorm pear blossom white pole gun flicked off the two eagle arrows, and then withdrew the gun to block an arrow fired at himself.

Zhu Si had a false alarm and said to Ma Wannian: "Wannian is really good, thank you!" Then he jumped back into the saddle and drew his bow to return fire. The arm strength of the cavalry of the Ming army is not as good as that of the Qing army, and the arrows shot are not far from the Qing army, the rate of fire of the Qing army is very fast, when the horse bow of the Ming army can fight back, they have already suffered from the three rounds of arrow rain of the Qing army, and the Qing army Morgen, who can send out three arrows in a row, has even shot six arrows at this time.

The proficiency of bows and horses requires years of accumulation, which is the hard wound of the imperial cavalry. The children of the Jurchen family had to tie their shoulders to practice archery from an early age, while the children of the Han family were either running around in the fields and cottages, or endorsing books in private schools. Not many children of Han families are born with the need to learn to be a warrior, and even the children of military families do not need to practice archery from an early age. However, the Jurchen knights were able to use the bow and arrow to bring out the power of the arquebus, and the speed of the flintlock pistol, the history can be assumed, but the difference in fact cannot be changed.

This is also the reason why Zhu Si did not popularize the use of firearms in the army. Compared with the skillful arches and horses of the Jurchen cavalry, the muskets in the hands of the Ming army were simply burning sticks, three shots in battle, and then waiting to be cut. The cavalry of the Qing army was not afraid of death when they charged, they shot the cavalry in the front row, and there were more in the back, what was the use of spending a lot of money to equip muskets? Trying to rely on muskets against elite cavalry in the field is like adding food to the enemy.

What I just said is the significance of muskets to infantry, and Zhu Si's imperial cavalry followed the ancestral motto of Emperor Yongle: "Two points to learn firearms, three points to learn swords and spears, and five points to practice bows and arrows." Zhu Si also practiced and practiced every day. "Wan Nian, see, I just shot one." Seeing that a Qing army knight was shot by himself, Zhu Si was extremely excited, and Ma Wannian also boasted about him: "Long live the arrows that have made rapid progress, and he is no longer the novice who doesn't even know where the arrows will fly!" Zhu Si said proudly: "That's natural, you have to help me testify when you go back, see if Ma Jinzhong's kid dares to laugh at me." After saying that, he pulled out his mace and shouted: Kill! It is necessary to engage with the Qing army in close combat.

The two armies engaged, and the hooves of the 120,000 heavy cavalry launched an avalanche-like sound, which was deafening. This was the largest cavalry collision since the Ming and Qing dynasties, they charged, they slashed, they staggered, and they turned their horses back. There is no time to calculate the number of casualties, they just want the other side to die!

Zhu Si charged at the front at the beginning, but the imperial cavalry on both sides quickly blocked Zhu Si's horse before they were about to engage in battle. Even so, Zhu Si's environment is quite dangerous, every enemy in front of him will flash in a second, either kill him or dodge him, if he can't do both, he will be even more unlucky to be hit by the opponent's blade, even if it is just a horse club, it will give a knight in heavy armor huge damage under the high-speed gallop. It is very likely that they will be shot off their horses, and what will the fallen knights face under the iron hooves of hundreds of thousands of war horses?

It can be seen that Zhu Si is making rapid progress, and there are many cavalry around him who deliberately protect him, especially Ma Wannian's rainstorm pear blossom white pole gun, which has no gorgeous fancy at all, and the move goes straight to the throat. Zhu Si went hand in hand with him, much safer, and also took a lot of advantage, and sneaked up on several Qing soldiers who wanted to dodge Ma Wannian's white pole gun. Every time he shot down a Qing soldier, Zhu Si still shouted the number: "Three!" Four! ”

Although Ma Wannian had already picked the throats of more than a dozen Qing soldiers, Zhu Si was still very satisfied with his results. How can a half-hanger who is too heavy for any weapon except a mace, compare to the descendant of Qin Liangyu, the strongest killing god of a generation.

Another Qing cavalry and Zhu Si and Ma Wannian's horse head staggered, this Qing army looks very unusual, even in Ma Wannian's white gun under the speed of the head dodge, Ma Wannian just drew the gun and wanted to stab again, the saber in the man's right hand has been waved, and Zhu Si, who is on the right side of Ma Wannian, has no chance to pick up the mace and smash it at the Qing army, the horse speed is too fast, the person has already come to the front, the mace is too late to hit him, Zhu Si is anxious to take a sip, saliva spat into the knight's eyes.

The man closed his eyes with his nose forbidden, the saber flew into the air, and Ma Wannian, who dodged the blow sideways, was not old, and turned his gun back and stabbed again, hitting the back of the knight's neck, and the knight fell off the horse in response. "Wan Nian, this is not yours, it has to be killed by me." Zhu Si felt that his saliva was the key blow to kill that knight, which was more effective than Ma Wannian's white-pole gun, but he didn't know if the emperor who had done all his tricks got up early in the morning today, did he brush his teeth?

Man Dahai turned his horse and was about to charge again, and he also shouted: "Warriors of Manchuria, let the roof of the Han family tremble under the hooves of our horses!" We're going to teach these Southern Barbarians how to use swords! "It's true that the Ming army doesn't use sabers, and twenty percent of the elite are equipped with three-eyed firearms. However, in such a large-scale cavalry battle, the Three-Eyed Fire Gun can only be effective in the hands of the forward cavalry. The Ming army was generally equipped with a hammer the size of a melon and a long knife at the tip of the eyebrows, and the length of the long knife at the tip of the eyebrows was much longer than that of the saber. The melon hammer is about a little more than a meter long, and the tail is also tied with a leather rope and put on the wrist, the leather rope is popularized by Zhu Si, which is a method that the Mongolian cavalry has already used, so that the weapon will not be taken off after a violent impact.

Compared with horsemanship, the Ming army must be much worse, but the three types of melee weapons of the Ming army are specially tailored to combat the Tatar cavalry who are accustomed to fighting with sabers. Their weapons are longer than sabers, and they can easily shatter the bones of enemies protected by their armor. There is also their numerical advantage at this time, so that the Ming army does not suffer losses in this battle.

After another collision, the two armies staggered again, turned again, and charged again. The cooperation between Zhu Si and Ma Wannian was seamless, and the imperial cavalry in front of them had already sifted through the enemy, and the Qing troops passing by them suffered a lot. They gradually stood in the center of the Ming cavalry, surrounded by three thousand of the most capable elite knights, and if someone died in battle, there would soon be soldiers to fill the position.
