Zhao Shichao took Chen Tai around and quickly withdrew into the Ming army.

When the latter turned back, they were stunned by the sight of their own artillery formations - the gunners were killed and wounded nearly 700 people, and the survivors were so frightened that they cowered in the infantry formation and did not dare to show their heads, let alone continue to fire at the enemy.

And Gan Xinda's six hundred chasseurs came like the wind and went away like smoke. Before the Qing army could react, they had already "finished their work" and left.

Li Zhongxing chased a few steps behind, and when he saw that he was close to the range of the Ming army's firepower, he had to return in a huff.

The Jianyu artillery was dumb, and the artillery battalion of the Longwei Army immediately had no worries, and under the command of Chen Xiongfei, they opened up a formation and began to "harvest" the front line of the Jianyu army.

A total of 55 six- to 12-pounder guns rained down on the Qing army's formation, stretching for six or seven miles, and it was not easy for the densely packed carts to miss the shot.

Jianyu's chariot was suddenly smashed to pieces like a flower in the rain. Iron balls of various sizes drilled out of the carts, carrying fragments of wood and iron filings that were flying at high speed, and took the lives of a large number of Qing soldiers who were pushing the carts behind.

The artillery of the Dragon Guard Army is completely made of silver, and there is live ammunition training almost every day, and both the shooting accuracy and reloading speed are definitely the strongest in East Asia.

For a time, the artillery of the Ming army continued to roar at a very fast speed, until the barrel overheated and had to pause slightly. Although there are only more than 50 cannons, the firepower exerted is by no means weaker than the more than 100 heavy artillery pieces of Jianyu!

Chen Xiongfei kept his telescope on the enemy's situation at all times, and once he felt that the wagons in front of the Qing army in this section were almost packed, he immediately ordered all the cannons to put away their gun mounts, move the horses sideways for 300 steps, and then set up a posture again to bombard the enemy formation.

Lechd Hun raised his eyes in the rear army and looked into the distance, and his heart wanted to drip blood!

He had repeatedly accompanied Taizong and his father on expeditions, and had seen the Ming army or Chuang Kou use cannons against the chariots many times, but he had never seen such ferocious firepower - not only extremely fast, but also terrifyingly accurate.

After less than half a mile of his army's advance, nearly thirty percent of the wagons were destroyed by artillery, and it is estimated that at least three or four thousand soldiers were killed behind the carts!

He originally planned to crush the Ming army with absolute superiority, but now that the two armies have not yet engaged, he has suffered a big loss. If this continues, the dead will still be acceptable, but they will not be able to return fire just by being hit like this, and their morale will soon be worn out.

A terrible thought suddenly popped into his mind, maybe Bolo didn't make a mistake that led to the defeat of the army, but that the enemy was too strong......

Luckard hurriedly waved away the distractions, gritted his molars and said to the herald: "Let Babutai speed up and meet the enemy as soon as possible!"

"Also, let Chen Tai and Da Su lead the cavalry to form a formation, and after the infantry engaged, they can be surrounded by both wings at the same time. My army of 60,000 is exhausted on three sides, and we will see how these Nanban can take care of everything! ”

"Huh!"

As the military command flag waved in Luckdhun, Babutai immediately ordered people to beat the war drums, and the drum beat increased from slow to slow.

At this moment, it was still about a mile away from the Ming army, but the Qing sergeants heard the order and had to start trotting. In order to increase the speed of the heavy cart, those Manchurian flag soldiers also had to put down the shelves and step forward to help push the cart together.

On the two flanks of the Qing army's infantry, two armies of five or six thousand horsemen and horses each distanced themselves from the front army, and set up a strong offensive formation of three hundred horsemen horizontally.

"General, the twelve-pound cannonball is exhausted," an officer saluted Chen Xiongfei and said hurriedly, "There are not many nine-pounder shells left." ”

Chen Xiongfei pointed to the right side of the Jianyu army formation, which was no longer covered by a car, "The twelve-pounder cannon will be exchanged for scattered shells, and the north will bombard the prisoners' foot soldiers."

"It's almost the distance, let the Furlong cannon prepare."

"Yes!"

Shotshots have limited lethality against carts, but they are extremely useful against foot soldiers. With the power of a twelve-pounder cannon, although it can't hit a mile away with a shotshot, it can barely hit one hundred and twenty feet.

When the main force of Babutai's department rushed forward for another section, he suddenly heard the sound of artillery on the north side, which had been quiet for a while.

He turned his head to look, but instead of a "blood line" as usual, a large number of soldiers were torn to pieces by something, and those in the back row fell to the ground and rolled and screamed.

He knew that this was the Ming army using scattered bullets, but because the cart on the right side of his army formation had been destroyed, he could only fill it with human lives.

The soldiers on the right side of the Jianyu were in great pain, and soon began to hide behind the carts on the left, and the entire army formation suddenly collapsed by a small half.

Soon, however, the nightmare of the captives on the left side also came - they were within range of the Franco's cannons.

In fact, as early as thirty paces away, the Franco cannon with a rubber seal was already able to hit the enemy, but Chen Xiongfei was afraid that the effect of destroying the car would not be good, so he waited for a while before giving the order to shoot.

In an instant, more than fifty Fran cannons of the Dragon Guard and the Broken Battalion began to spew flames.

These cannons can only fire shells of less than a pound, and their momentum is far inferior to other Hongyi cannons, however, their rate of fire is outrageously fast!

The Ming gunners were very skillful in putting a sealing ring at the interface between the gun chamber and the sub-gun, and then stuffed the sub-gun into it, and ignited it. There was no need to fill gunpowder, no pestle, no shells, so that the whole process was less than ten seconds, and the next gun was already ready on the side.

Immediately before the formation of the formation, a large hail of iron balls appeared. The clatter of the cannonballs hitting the cart was so dense that it was breathless.

Although these iron balls are not heavy, they are still cannonballs that have been replaced by fakes, and no matter how strong the cart is, it is impossible to block its powerful impact.

For a time, the chariots of the military formation on the left side of the Jianyu were destroyed one after another at an extremely fast speed, and the effect of the previous bombardment with Hongyi artillery was even better.

Moreover, the weight of the Furlong cannon is very light, and it moves much faster than the Hongyi cannon, and even five or six soldiers push it away, even saving horses, and picking a place with many people and vehicles to stop and bomb.

By the time Babutai drove the main force of the Jianyu infantry to more than 100 steps in front of the Ming army, more than 500 of his chariots had been destroyed by these 55 "machine guns"! More than 4,000 captives died in the back of the wagon.

Fortunately, most of the dead were Lu Shiyang's green battalion soldiers, and the main force of the Red Flag was not injured! Babutai's eyes were blood-red, and he said fiercely in his heart, more than thirty steps forward, you can already use the firearm to hit the enemy, let you southern barbarians taste the taste of the new flintlock gun of the firearms battalion!

At the same time, at the middle end of the Ming army's infantry line, Yu Xinxing commanded the sword in front of his hand and said to the herald beside him: "Order, the whole army will fire a continuous salvo!" ”

"Yes!"

Immediately, more than 6,000 Dragon Guard infantry raised their Type 2 Hunter Guns in their hands, and at the same time followed their respective officers and shouted: "Aim!
