The range of light arrows fired by the Ming army's smoothbore guns and the Eight Banners cavalry was comparable, and the Ming army's flintlock musketeers could fire a salvo at the same time, but they would also be attacked by the Qing army's hanging arrows. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Although both sides can hit the opponent, the effect is obviously different: the bullet fired from the musket hit the Qing soldier, and the small bullet penetrated the thick armor of the Qing soldier, and the bullet drilled into the human body, rolled and deformed, causing great damage. However, the light arrows fired by the Qing soldiers caused very little damage to the Ming army.

In a round of firing between the two sides, at least more than 200 cavalry members of the Eight Banners fell off their horses, and the Ming army only killed more than 10 people and wounded no more than 50 people.

The rate of fire of the Qing army's bow and arrow was much faster than that of the flintlock musket, and the Qing army's Eight Banners cavalry, which had already rushed within thirty paces, once again opened their bows and arrows, this time with heavy arrows that fired straight through.

Only a bowstring sound was heard, and the Eight Banners released a row of sharp arrows on horseback, flying straight towards the Ming army's musketeer formation within thirty paces in front of them. However, while these Qing soldiers were shooting feather arrows, they found that the Ming musketeers raised their hands and threw a row of iron bumps, smashing their heads and faces into the cavalry formation.

"Damn! It's palm thunder again! Gualja chuckled in her heart.

The sharp arrows fired directly by the Eight Banners cavalry pierced into the crowd of the Ming army, and the power of the heavy arrows shot directly was obviously much more powerful than the light arrows shot by the hanging, but in the archery on the back of a bumpy horse, the ordinary Eight Banners soldiers could only use a very light three-force cavalry bow to release arrows, and the power of the arrows shot was not very large, and they might not be able to shoot through the cotton armor of the Ming army musketeers.

In winter warfare, ordinary Ming army musketeers were covered with leather light armor on the outside, a sturdy cotton armor on the inside, and a silk lining on the inside. The feathered arrows shot by the Eight Banners cavalry, after shooting through the outer layer of leather light armor, were no longer able to shoot through the cotton armor. Even if you can shoot through the cotton armor, there is not much strength, and the silk lining in the cotton armor can reduce the damage of the arrow to people, and after the arrow is sent to the field hospital, as long as you pull the silk and pull it out, you can pull out the arrow, and then disinfect it with alcohol, and then apply some medicine, and it will be fine after a few days.

The silk lining also reduces the toxic effect of arrowheads, and many of the arrowheads of the Qing army were soaked in feces, which can lead to wound infection. With a silk lining and disinfectant alcohol, injuries can be reduced.

This group of Ming army musketeers were just ordinary musketeers, and the most elite musketeers were covered with rattan armor.

The arrows fired by the Qing army killed more than 20 Ming musketeers and wounded more than 70 others. But the effect of the iron pimple thrown by the Ming army is different.

Rows of iron lumps fell into the herd of Qing horses, and suddenly exploded, exploding into fireballs. In an instant, shrapnel flew sideways, and the Eight Banners cavalry was blown up on their backs, and a large number of them fell immediately. What was even more serious was that many horses that had not been bombed were frightened by the explosion and threw off the cavalry on horseback. The speed of the war horse behind has been raised to the highest, and it is impossible to dodge at all, and the Qing soldiers who fell off the horse were trampled into meat by the horses' hooves.

The frightened war horses scurried around, and also knocked over a lot of horses that galloped up, and suddenly a group of war horses collided together, and many Eight Banner soldiers soared into the clouds and flew into the sky.

In this round of grenades, at least more than 300 Eight Banner soldiers were reimbursed, and more than 100 Eight Banner soldiers were dismissed. Coupled with the previous artillery bombardment, rifled gun shooting, and smoothbore gun salvo, there were very few Eight Banners soldiers who finally rushed to the Ming army, and only less than 100 cavalry were left to rush into the Ming army formation.

The musketeers lined up in three rows, and the musket with the bayonet loaded was a short spear, and the brushes were aimed at the rushing Eight Banners cavalry.

The cavalry of the Eight Banners crashed into the formation of musketeers, and the Qing army horses that rushed to the front collided with bayonets, and the muskets and bayonets of the Ming musketeers were broken, and the war horses that collided were also poked into a hornet's nest, and the war horses neighed sadly, and they threw out the cavalry on horseback. However, the dead horses still knocked off many of the Ming musketeers.

The cavalry's momentum was blocked by a bayonet array, and some Qing soldiers who were lucky enough to survive were dismounted by a volley of bayonets after cutting down one or two Ming musketeers.

The assault of Guerga and his more than a dozen Goshkha was also blocked by the Ming army, and the cavalry lost its speed, which, if still on horseback, was not conducive to hand-to-hand combat. At this time, if Guerjia and them turn their heads and want to run, then the rifled guns of the Ming army can chase their butts and shoot, turning them into a hornet's nest.

"Kill the dog!" Guerjia yelled, turned over and dismounted, and rushed towards the Ming army crowd with a mace.

Gualja's Goshha also dismounted, brandished various weapons, and slaughtered into the crowd of Ming troops. Guerjia is worthy of being a fierce general with high martial arts, and the Goshha under his command are all strong in martial arts, infinitely powerful, and one in a thousand. More than a dozen Qing soldiers rushed into the crowd of the Ming army and cut down many Ming musketeers.

"Dog brute! Go to hell! Guerga brandished her mace, parryed the bayonet stabbed by a Ming musketeer, and slammed it down with a blow. This stick was infinitely powerful, the Ming musketeers did not block it, and were smashed on the helmet by the mace, and the six-petal helmet was immediately smashed into a dent, and the Ming musketeers burst their brains and fell to the ground on the spot.

The three musketeers in front stepped forward in formation, and three bayonets stabbed in turn.

Guerjia swung his mace and danced vigorously, forcefully pulling the bayonets of the three Ming musketeers away, but he was still stabbed in the arm by a Ming musketeer.

Just when Guerjia waved his mace and forced back the three Ming musketeers in front, he heard a gunshot, he only felt that his left kneecap was numb, his left leg lost strength, and he knelt on the ground, and then he felt a piercing pain in his knee.

"Hidden arrows hurt people, what kind of heroes are you!" Guerga glared at the Ming straggler who had attacked him with rifled guns.

Three Ming musketeers took the opportunity to step forward, and three bayonets stabbed Gualja's chest at the same time.

The skirmishers behind the smoothbore gunners were already loaded, the rifled guns emitted a deafening roar, and the skirmishers raised their guns and smashed the remaining goshkha into a hornet's nest with precise bursts.

Several Eight Banner soldiers who were still riding on horseback turned their horses and tried to escape, but they were shot through their backs by bullets from rifled guns, and they fell off their horses like blood gourds.

Among the piles of corpses and horses of Qing soldiers everywhere, there were also some fallen Eight Banner soldiers, who fell off their horses and were more or less injured. The Eight Banners who lost their horses couldn't run away, and they couldn't fight, and they were surrounded by the Ming legions.

"Throw the knife away! Hold your head in your hands and kneel on the ground! Crowds of Ming troops surrounded them, and the muskets with bayonets in their hands were aimed at the Eight Banners.

A small number of Eight Banners soldiers were unwilling to surrender, and waved their swords to resist to the end, but they were stabbed in the heart by rows of bayonets. The rest of the Eight Banners threw away their weapons and surrendered on their knees with their heads in their hands.

The Ming soldiers stepped forward and tied up all the surrendered Eight Banners soldiers and strung them together and escorted them down.
