Skirmishers with mini rifles on their backs rushed out of the coalition formation on camels, and at the same time, breech-loading rifled dragoons on horseback rushed out.

"Watch out for the formation!" Liu Xiang, the leading general of the Ming army, shouted.

Liu Xiang is the son of Liu Tichun and a rising star of the Loyalty Battalion. Now riding an Arabian horse, carrying a Mini rifled gun on his back, and two six-shot thunderbolts hanging from his waist, Liu Xiang personally led the stragglers and dragoons to charge the formation of the Mughal imperial army.

Stragglers on camels and dragoons on Mongolian horses quickly dispersed the formation and rushed to each other in an evacuated formation.

"It's strange, how did the Mongols charge with so many men?" Mughal general Amir saw the opponent's cavalry rushing over, and muttered to himself in puzzlement.

Bahadur Shah glanced at it, estimated it, and found that his opponent had about three thousand camel soldiers and two thousand cavalry. He put down the monoculars and snorted disdainfully: "The opponent is only 5,000 people, they are here to test the attack, we will let them have no return!" ”

"Fire!" The officers of the artillery of the Mughal army roared.

Hundreds of guns of various calibers let out a deafening roar, the muzzles of the guns spewed white smoke, and rows of shells smashed down on the heads of the allied camels and cavalry who were charging. The salvo of the Mughal artillery looked imposing, but the fire was all solid shells, and the formation of the coalition stragglers and dragoons was very dispersed, so the Mughal artillery was actually not very effective.

Amir picked up the binoculars and saw that more than 30 camel soldiers and more than 20 cavalrymen were shot and fell off their horses, and some of them were even beaten to pieces with men and horses, and couldn't help frowning: "The shelling effect doesn't seem to be very good." ”

"Don't worry!" Bahadur Shah turned his head and said, "Just this little cavalry wants to rush over?" By the time they got closer, our artillery had already been replaced with shotguns! We also have war elephants and elite infantry! As long as the Mongol cavalry approached, they did not even want to break our formation. ”

In the blink of an eye, the coalition skirmishers had rushed within three hundred paces of the Mughal artillery team.

The Mughal gunners were scrambling to reload their shells, this time they were all loaded with shotguns, waiting for the opponent's cavalry to get close to a distance of about 200 paces before they could complete the loading and fire the shotguns.

The speed of the camel soldiers slowed down, and in the surprised eyes of the Mughal officers and soldiers, the stragglers on camels jumped off the backs of the camels, the camels squatted on the ground, and the skirmishers took the Mini rifles from their backs, and the cats trotted forward, the muzzles of the black holes aimed at the Mughal artillery corps two hundred and fifty paces away.

At this moment, the gunners of the Mughal artillery were already loaded with shotguns.

"Fire! Kill the abominable infidels! The Mughal artillery officer shouted.

"Boom, boom, boom" rows of artillery spewed fire and smoke, and dense shotguns were like torrential rain, pouring down on the coalition stragglers.

"Lie down!" Liu Xiang yelled.

The rumbling of artillery on the battlefield drowned out his shouts, and few stragglers heard the shouts. However, these skirmishers were all battle-hardened veterans, and when they saw the fire spewing from the muzzles of the opponent's guns, they immediately lay down to dodge the shotguns that were spilled on their heads and faces.

Shotguns, which have great lethality to both infantry and cavalry, are a killing weapon on the battlefield. The rainstorm of shotguns caused some casualties among the coalition stragglers, and many of them were turned into hornet's nests. However, the stragglers had already fallen down, and the formation was loose, so they did not suffer much damage.

After seeing the flash of fire from the Mughal artillery team, the opponent was loading the shells, and all the stragglers got up from the ground and rushed towards the opponent's artillery team with their guns on their waists.

Amir anxiously shouted: "Damn the Mongols! They want to use muskets against our artillery team! ”

Bahadur Shah sneered, "Don't worry! They can only be effective if they rush within fifty steps! By the time they are within fifty paces, our musketeers, archers and cavalry will be able to kill them! ”

Before the words fell, he saw that the coalition stragglers who had rushed to a distance of 180 paces were already standing in a row, and then the muzzles of their guns erupted with fire, and thousands of bullets seemed to pour into the Mughal artillery team. The bullets penetrated into the artillery team, and immediately set off a bloody rain, and the gunners wrapped in red and white turbans were shot one after another, screaming and falling to the ground.

"How could the Mongol muskets shoot so far?" Bahadur Shah was stunned.

The balladeer crouches on the ground and reloads as fast as he can. Before the Mughal army could react, another row of gunfire rang out, and the Mughal artillery team was filled with a mist of blood, and at least a few hundred gunners fell in pools of blood.

"Damn! The Mongols have a new musket! Let the cavalry rush out and kill them! Bahadur Shah, who had come to his senses, shouted anxiously for his soldiers to give orders.

Flags were waved in the Mughal formation, and with the command of the flag, groups of Mughal cavalry shouted and rushed out of the formation and rushed towards the coalition stragglers who were firing repeatedly.

Spotting the rushing cavalry, the skirmishers immediately raised their guns, turned around and ran towards the camels behind them. The camel crouching on the ground was no more than thirty paces away from them, and it only took a few seconds to run. At the same time, the Mughal cavalry was spotted rushing over, and the allied dragoons immediately rode forward to meet them.

"The Mongols are going to use cavalry to meet their musketeers, but two thousand cavalry can hold off our cavalry?" Bahadur Shah sneered.

The allied dragoons were not walking very fast, and the cavalry drove their horses and trotted slowly. Seeing the Mughal cavalry turn their horses and charge towards them, the dragoons reined in their horses and turned, turning their backs to the Mughal cavalry. The allied dragoons jerked their whips, and their horses spread their hooves and began to accelerate and retreat to their own formation.

"The cowardly Mongols, before they even met their faces, actually ran away! Give me chase! The Mughal cavalry officer shouted.

The allied dragoons ran in front, and the Mughal cavalry followed closely. At this moment, I saw that the cavalry in front of me turned their heads one after another, the muzzles of their guns spewed fire, the green smoke rose up, and a row of bullets shot at the Mughal cavalry eighty paces away.

Gunshots rang out like fried beans, and the Mughal cavalry, who were pursuing the allied dragoons, fell off their horses one by one like dumplings. Before the Mughal cavalry could come to their senses, a second row of gunfire rang out, and another row of Mughal cavalry was shot and fell off their horses.

"Mangu tactics? The Mongols actually used muskets to perform their mangu tactics! Bahadur Shah was stunned for a long time before he spoke.

Amir frowned: "Use a musket to perform Mangu tactics?" But could the Mongols load bullets on horseback? ”

Before the words fell, I saw that the cavalry who had just finished shooting the bullets turned around again and shot bullets!
