After the chariot, Jianlu discharged a kind of mixed phalanx that they were accustomed to, which was called the "nine-in-ten chain" battle formation during the Kangxi period. Of course, this name did not appear at this time, and most of the Qing army at the moment called it the continuous round shooting method.

This mixed phalanx consists of two to three hundred people forming a phalanx, roughly divided into three levels.

At the front were the Han Army's firearms battalion birds, a total of about forty or fifty people, standing in three to five rows. There is a heavy cannon of more than 1,000 catties and several small cannons such as the tiger squat cannon, which are placed between the guns. There are twenty or thirty people in the Eight Banners, living on both sides of the Han army.

The middle layer was dominated by black battalion sword and shield bearers and pikemen, a total of seventy to eighty men. They were flanked by about sixty red-armored babaras, also armed with swords, shields, or spears.

The last row is full of red-armored babas, numbering about forty, using knives and spears, to a certain extent, playing the role of supervising the team. On either side of them was a reserve of thirty men of the black battalion, ready to replenish the manpower of the phalanx killed by the enemy.

This Bayala is the meaning of "Protector" in Manchu, and the white Bayala and the red Bayala are the elites selected from the Eight Banners, and their combat power is extremely strong.

Especially the former, only ten people are selected from each Niu Lu to serve as Baijia Bayala, which belongs to the elite of the banner soldiers. Not only are they brave and strong, but they are also extremely well equipped. Each person is equipped with two horses, double armor, a hard bow, a steel sword, and even three layers of armor when needed.

Even the red armor Bayala was also the elite of the Qing army, and usually forty people were selected from each Niu Lu, each of whom was equipped with cotton armor, and also had a hard bow and steel knife.

The black battalion is an ordinary flag soldier, and its equipment is much worse than the first two. The 100 black battalions were equipped with only fifteen pieces of cotton armor, and the knives and bows they were not equipped with as good as Bayara.

It can be seen from this that in addition to the guns, almost everyone in the phalanx of the Qing army has a bow and a large number of artillery, among which the long-range projection firepower is very strong, and the Ming army equipped with light bird guns has never suffered a loss.

In addition, their elite soldiers were placed in the back row and on both sides, which effectively prevented the phalanx from breaking up and prevented the sergeants from escaping.

This continuous round firing formation was formed in the Huang Taiji era, and it was a phalanx tactic created by the Eight Banners on the basis of the Ming army's formation, and it belonged to one of the most advanced phalanxes on the Eastern Continent at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

So don't be fooled by the words that the Eight Banners Bow and Horse have won the world.

At that time, the Qing army used a large number of muskets and artillery, combined with advanced phalanxes, and was extremely advanced in weaponry and tactical play. In the vast majority of battles, they relied on cannons, firearms, and recurve bows to defeat the Ming army, while cavalry mostly played a role in pursuing and harassing the router.

However, if it is compared to the advanced nature of the phalanx, Jianyu will naturally be thrown ten streets away by the infantry line formation of the Dragon Guard, after all, there is a difference of hundreds of years between the two. Even compared with the Morris phalanx of the broken camp, the Qing army was also inferior.

But in Turai's mind, all he would have to face was a slightly stronger Ming army, and it would probably be as before, after a few onslaughts of his army, it would be scattered.

Zhu Linmiao saw dozens of wooden carts piled high with sandbags being pushed to the front of the queue by Jianyu in the telescope, and knew that this was Jianyu's famous chariot, and he immediately signaled to the herald, "Let the artillery battalion carry out the B-word plan." ”

"Yes!"

To say that the Eight Banners infantry led by Turai have been training and fighting since childhood, and they are still very skilled in the battle formation, and it took less than ten minutes to complete the formation rectification.

Immediately after Turai gave the order, sixty cannons of various types were pushed into the gap between the carts, and a group of Han gunners began to reload the gunpowder.

According to the method of rotational firing of the Jianyu Company, when fighting against the enemy, several rounds of salvo fire should be carried out with artillery first, and then six to twelve zhang should be advanced, and then artillery fire should be carried out, and the cycle should be carried out in turn.

When they are within range of the birds, they will shoot with them. Until the enemy forces are approached and hand-to-hand combat begins.

However, at this moment, he heard a dense artillery roar erupting on the right side of the Ming army's position, and suddenly, twenty or thirty iron balls smashed in from the left front of the Jianyu army formation, first overturning several carts, and then instantly slapping nearly 100 captives in the front row into minced meat.

The larger four eight-and-a-half-pound shells finally stopped after they smashed the front row of Qing soldiers and fell heavily to the ground, rebounded twice and broke the legs of more than a dozen non-commissioned officers.

Thurai did not panic, just now he heard the sound of the Ming army's cannons, at most about 30 guns, and there should be no more than 2,000 catties of heavy artillery among them.

However, there were 20 3,000-pound guns in his army, and 40 cannons of more than 1,000 catties.

Without his orders, Tong Yangjia immediately ordered the gunners to return fire at the Ming army, but as soon as the cannon on his side was filled with gunpowder, the cannon sound on the Ming army's side rang out again.

Tong Yangjia is an expert in using artillery, and he couldn't help frowning, the rate of fire of the Ming army's cannon was so fast that it was simply weird.

When the cannon in front of the formation was filled with iron balls, the artillery of the Dragon Guard Army diagonally opposite also stuffed the fixed gunpowder bag into the barrel, and several gunners skillfully cooperated, the ramming rod was withdrawn, and the shell and the ignition tube were loaded at the same time. The conductor immediately reported the firing yuan, the loader measured the elevation angle of the muzzle with a gun, and the igniter turned the screw of the gun tail twice according to the angle.

In only five or six seconds, the elevation angle and direction of the cannon were adjusted as required.

"Ready!"

At the same time, the artillery of the Qing army was struggling to lower the muzzle a little.

A soldier struck the wedge at the end of the gun three times with a sledgehammer, and the slope of the wedge raised the tail of the gun. But the other gunner looked at the gunner, shook his head and shouted, "Low! The hammer bearer had to strike the wedge again......

The Ming artillery roared again, and it was only at this moment that the first shot was finally fired slowly.

Tong Yangjia's face was pale, and he could count it clearly, and the Ming army on the opposite side had fired three cannons. Although there are a large number of cannons on his side, if he shoots at this speed, I am afraid that the firepower advantage is on the side of the Ming army!

And Turai on the side looked even more gloomy.

He didn't care about the rate of fire of the cannons, he was watching the formation of the Ming army, which was only three rows of long snake formations. The shells from his side were fired head-on, hitting at most six or seven Ming troops. Even a lot of shells flew over the heads of the Ming army, after all, with such a narrow queue, it was definitely not easy to hit.

Even though the shells of heavy artillery are powerful, they can bounce off the ground four or five times, but ...... It is impossible to cause damage at all.

On the other hand, on his side, because the Ming army's artillery was fired from an oblique angle, and his own army formation had three layers, a total of more than a dozen rows of people, every shell of the Ming army could stir up a large area of blood and broken limbs, and there were almost no bullets.

"These damn Nikans!" He said angrily, "I'll let you use the cannon to get some cheap." But with such a thin formation, wait for my army to press up, and see if you can still be proud under the combination of bows and guns! ”

"Gushan Ezhen," he ordered Tong Yangjia, "the artillery battle is too bad. Stop firing artillery, and order the army to rush into the enemy, and break it with bows and guns! ”
