Chapter 1384 Fifty Steps

The distance was pulled in, so that the soldiers of the two armies fell into endless fear, and the artillery of the Ming army became more and more accurate, hitting the Jin army front one by one gaps, making the Jin army front chaotic.

At this time, the bombardment of the Jin army's gunners undoubtedly regained a little face for the Jin army, made up for the lack of Jin army's artillery, and created a certain amount of trouble for the Ming army.

For a time, the sound of guns and cannons was continuous, and the roaring cannon sounded like a heavy punch, hammering the hearts of the two soldiers and soldiers, and every cannon sound made the soldiers tremble.

The smoke of artillery and guns filled the air, like a mist, covering the gap between the two armies' lines, and the soldiers gritted their teeth in fear.

Only by shielding out the sound of cannons and screams, and trying to let themselves only hear the sound of "dong dong" and the "doodoo" whistle in the formation, can the soldiers barely have the courage to continue to move forward.

Li Guo was in the rear, watching the battle line several miles long with the beat of the drum, he could also hear the neat footsteps of the Ming soldiers from a distance, and could see the spurs of the soldiers on the front line, with the ups and downs of the footsteps, the 30,000 line of infantry troops under the bombardment of artillery fire and guns, the pace was still the same, the movements were still uniform, and they were advancing neatly at an even speed, and their hearts were already settled.

After the Jin army front, Wu Sangui rode on a horse, his eyes crossed the Jin army front that was somewhat chaotic, and saw the oncoming Ming army lined up neatly, with rhythmic ups and downs of helmets and guns, and he couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart.

The equipment system of the Ming army is unified, and the training is naturally unified, on the other hand, the equipment of the Jin army is different, and the rhythm of the soldiers is naturally a little wrong.

Wu Sangui realized this, but at this time he had no choice, fortunately, behind the fire front, the Jin army's melee infantry formation was quite stable.

If the fire gun can't defeat the Ming army, then you can only look at the infantry army behind.

Although the Ming army's firearms are powerful, but hand-to-hand combat, it is not as brave as Dajin, as long as he can fight in close combat, he believes that the infantry army can still complete the task.

"Go, give He Chengzhi an order, let him pay attention to the front line, once the front line is slightly chaotic, attack immediately, don't hesitate!" Wu Sangui was worried that the Fire Gun Formation was not the opponent of the Ming Army, so he asked the infantry behind the front line to prepare in advance, and launched an attack before the Fire Gun Team retreated.

A letter horse hurriedly chased after him, came to He Chengzhi's banner, and said loudly: "Junmen, the prince ordered, let the Junmen be sure to pay attention to the front." After entering the counter-fire, as soon as there is confusion in the front line, immediately launch an attack without hesitation. ”

He Chengzhi also noticed the Jin army's fire array, and in the process of advancing, the quality was obviously inferior to that of the Ming army.

He understood what Wu Sangui meant, because he was afraid that once the front formation was defeated, his line would be overwhelmed, so he asked him to attack before the front line was defeated.

"I understand, please rest assured!" He Chengzhi said solemnly and turned his gaze back to the front line.

At this time, the front lines of the two armies had advanced to a range of 100 paces, and as soon as he cast his gaze over, the front of the Jin army sounded sporadically with the sound of guns, and a few clouds of white smoke filled the front of the formation.

He Chengzhi's eyes couldn't help but chill, it was the Jin sergeant who withstood the pressure, and the firecracker took the lead.

With a cannon shot, a shell hit the Jin army's front, and the limbs of several Jin soldiers in front of Guo Tianchun were splashed. The advancing Jin soldiers kept firing, and there was a bang in the Jin army's formation.

"Damn it!" Guo Tianchun couldn't help but scold angrily when he saw this, but the Jin army was not well trained, and the fear of the soldiers was not overcome, and he had no choice.

The Jin soldiers on the front line, seeing that the Ming army's front line was neat and uniform, and then used the afterglow to sweep left and right, the front line was already like a dog gnawing, and it was inevitable that he would panic.

In fact, there was not much confusion in the golden array, but the gunmen and musketeers in the formation, the rhythm was not at the same frequency, which gave the Jin soldiers the illusion of chaos in the front.

The artillery of the Ming army became more and more accurate, and each cannon made the Jin soldiers tremble, and the soldiers in the front row only hoped to release a gun quickly, and then retreat to the back to be safer.

When the Jin army usually trains, his performance is not bad, but as soon as he goes to the battlefield, the problem arises.

The officers of the Jin army kept shouting that they were not allowed to fire guns, but fires still occurred from time to time, and they could not stop it.

At eighty paces, Guo Tianchun saw that if he went on like this, the front row would become an empty gun, gritted his teeth, and ordered loudly: "Raise the gun!"

A drum raised his head and blew the horn, the advancing Jin Army front was the first to stop, the front line was stable, and the Jin Army generals in the front row roared, "Raise the gun, let go!" ”

The Ming army followed the drums and trumpets and advanced to within eighty paces, but the Ming army's drums did not stop, and the soldiers continued to move forward with their guns.

At this moment, the Ming army, which was mechanically stepping on the drum, found that the oncoming Jin army front suddenly stopped, and the first row of Jin troops raised their guns together, and the guns formed a straight line, and countless guns were aimed at them, and the soldiers suddenly felt a little cold in their hands and feet.

This fear of being targeted and shot is undoubtedly devastating, but the Ming soldiers have undergone rigorous training, and they have to continue to move forward, even if there is a cliff or a big river in front of them.

Bang bang bang......

A series of gunshots sounded, and white smoke suddenly rose from the mile-long Jin Army's front, filling the entire front.

The Ming army in the front row only felt that the flames were like the dazzling Milky Way in the night sky.

In the eyes of the Ming soldiers in the front row, the dense firelight flashed, and the dense projectiles like rain whistled, and the soldiers couldn't help but tremble their hands and feet, and they heard the sound of the projectiles entering the body left and right, and the Ming army was screaming on the front line, and the soldiers fell down again and again.

Dang Shousu rode on the horse, his expression was cold, and when the sound of the gun dissipated, he waved his hand without emotion, "Make up for it!" Keep moving! ”

The drumbeat of the Ming army has not stopped, and the soldiers of the Ming army, who have been trained countless times, continue to move forward mechanically, and the soldiers behind them have collapsed over the corpses that have fallen to the ground, and the entire front is still intact.

The non-commissioned officers in the front row who were not shot were blank in their minds, but before they could rejoice, the Jin soldiers on the opposite Jin Army front, who had released the first row of guns, finally retreated back as they wished, and the second column raised their guns forward and quickly raised their guns to fire a volley.

The Jin sergeant who stepped forward was worried that the Ming army would stop shooting and take the turn to be the target of the Ming army, so he hurriedly finished releasing a gun and did not look at the results of the battle, so he hurriedly retreated.

The advancing Ming soldiers did not take a few steps, and the Jin army front was filled with gunpowder again, and the front that had just been filled in the whole around them was immediately empty again, and I don't know who was killed.

Dang Shousu gritted his teeth and said, "Continue to make up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Jin army on the opposite side whistled again, and the third platoon of soldiers had already stepped forward, raised their firearms, and released their guns together.

At this time, the Ming army was already close to fifty paces, and as the distance was pulled, the Jin army's fire hit rate began to increase.

In the Ming army in the first row, many people were afraid to see the flames and whistling projectiles, and they couldn't help but close their eyes one after another and leave them to fate for judgment.

The soldiers of the second row carried the guns, and followed behind the soldiers of the first row with dry tongues, and suddenly saw the comrades in front of them shake their bodies, their legs were weak, and they fell down, and their hearts trembled, but they immediately took off the fire guns on their shoulders, held them in both hands, and strode to fill the gap.

The Ming army line advanced, and the corpses and wounded were left behind, and the Ming army carried a team of stretchers behind the line, carrying the wounded soldiers back.

Wu Sangui rode on a horse and used a clairvoyant mirror to observe the advancing Ming army, and couldn't help but feel surprised. The distance between the two armies was already only fifty paces, so why didn't the Ming army stop shooting?

Just when Wu Sangui was puzzled, on the smoke-filled Jin Army front, the three rows of gunners had already completed a round of volleys, and it was the turn of the gunners in the first row to step forward.

It's just that the Jin soldiers and soldiers are nervous, and they have rushed to fire first, and the first row of soldiers has not yet finished loading the projectiles, and the third row of guns has already retreated.

In a hurry, many gunners were in a panic, and they hurried forward without even releasing the projectile.

The smoke in front of the front line drifted away, and the Jin sergeant who stepped forward raised his gun and was about to shoot, but through the thin smoke, he found that the Ming army front that was originally seventy steps away had advanced to within fifty steps, close to the front, and what was seventy steps away, and what was still the case, which gave the Jin army a great shock.

This suddenly made the Jin soldier full of fear, and his face was full of horror......

After the three rows of shooting, the Ming army did not stop and panicked, which made the Jin soldiers deeply frightened, as if the Ming army suddenly appeared at fifty paces from seventy paces.

The Jin sergeant was panicked, and before the whistle sounded, the fire in front of the formation rang out.
