Hearing the gunfire of the Ming army, the Qing soldiers also pulled the trigger one after another, the guns roared, the fire flickered, and the white smoke was filled, which sounded huge, but the Ming army on the opposite side was unscathed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The artillery of the Ming army once again let out a deafening roar, and twenty-six shells roared into the Qing formation, this time firing a new type of flowering shells, and rows of shells fell in the crowd, raising clusters of dazzling fire. These flowering shells were all anti-personnel shells, and the body of the bullet was filled with iron balls, and after the shells exploded, the iron balls shrapnel flew sideways, harvesting life like sharp knives, and a large number of Qing troops fell screaming.

The casualties of hundreds of people were just a drop in the bucket for the Qing army, which had more than 70,000 infantry.

The gunners of the Qiongzhou Army, who fired the shells, immediately began to clear the chambers, load the cartridges, and begin to load the howitzers.

As soon as the explosion of the shells passed, the roaring gunfire in the Ming army's formation rang out again, and the Mini rifles with a range comparable to artillery fired in a volley, and the bullets like a torrential rain pierced into the crowd of Qing troops, knocking down hundreds of Qing soldiers.

"Put!" Cheng Lei, who was in charge of commanding the mortar artillery, roared.

The eight-pounder mortar gunners pulled the flintlock launch rope, and the muzzles of the 30 eight-pounder new mortar guns neatly placed on the ground spewed flames, and rows of shells rose into the air, flew into the air, pulled out an arc, and landed in the Qing formation. The mortar fired all the flowering shells, and thirty shells fell to the ground, exploding a continuous burst of fire.

Like cannons and howitzers, these mortars are loaded with anti-personnel shells.

The lethal effect was surprisingly good, and thirty mortar shells fell in the crowd, knocking down hundreds of Green Battalion Qing soldiers.

The mortar had just finished a round of shooting, and the Ming musketeers had already loaded their bullets, followed by a row of roaring gunfire, and a thick blood mist rose from the crowd of Qing troops in the green camp.

After the gunfire was over, howitzers and cannons opened fire, blasting the soldiers to the ground.

Howitzers and cannons, rifled guns, mortars, three weapons fired in turn, the sound of guns on the battlefield never stopped for a moment, and after the muskets were fired, it was cannon and howitzer bombardment; After the cannon and howitzer finished a round, the musketeer reloaded, and fired again; After the musket was fired, it was again bombarded with mortars. The three weapons fired in turn, and the output of fire was endless, and before the Qing army could rush to the front, thousands of corpses had already fallen.

Looking at the Qing infantry that was pressing up step by step, Bai Guangyong asked, "General, don't we need to swarm rockets?" ”

"No, you don't! Wait for the Tartar cavalry to charge, and then use a swarm of bees! "The king [auxiliary] said.

"The Tartars are coming! Shoot the last round and counterattack immediately! Gong Xiao shouted.

The pro-soldiers waved the small flag and gave the order to the musketeers.

The Qing army has rushed to seventy paces away, the musketeers of the Qing army at the front do not know who has bullets and who does not have bullets, just now the Qing soldiers shot indiscriminately, out of the bullets in the chamber, some people have not had time to load, they were driven up by the rear of the warlord, and some people are in a hurry, forgetting to load bullets, some are loaded bullets without loading primers, and some people forget to pull out the through.

The Ming army 70 paces away fired first, and the Mini rifle fired a round of rapid fire, and more than 4,000 Mini rifles on the side of the Qing army fired at the same time, and the crowd of Qing troops on the opposite side sprayed a diffuse mist of blood.

Because of the close distance and extremely high accuracy, this round of musket shooting actually knocked down more than a thousand Qing soldiers! Some bullets even pierced through two Qing soldiers to three Qing soldiers before losing kinetic energy.

The Qing soldiers also pulled the trigger indiscriminately, and a row of bullets was fired from the dense crowd of Qing troops, but at a distance of seventy paces, the smoothbore guns could only barely hit the target, and after the gunshots, few musketeers of the Ming army fell.

"Charge, throw!" Grassroots officers at all levels roared.

The Ming musketeers inserted their bayonets into the card slots, lifted their rifles and ran towards the Qing troops, and at the same time took out a grenade from his waist, pulled off the string, and threw it with his hand raised.

The Qing soldiers didn't have time to reload their bullets, and the overwhelming grenades had already fallen into their crowd. "Boom" Countless fireballs burst into the formation of the Qing army's musketeers, and more than 4,000 grenades exploded at the same time, the power was not comparable to 26 barreled artillery and 30 mortar cannons, and more than 4,000 grenades exploded into a sea of fire, engulfing the Qing soldiers.

As soon as the explosion passed, the Qiongzhou army had already rushed to it.

The Qing soldiers came all the way, and were bombarded by howitzers, cannons, and mortars in turn, and were fired several rounds by rifled guns, and when they rushed to the front, they were blown up by grenades, and more than 5,000 people were damaged. In terms of the proportion of the number of people, more than 5,000 people are only less than 10% of the more than 70,000 people, but the exploding grenade blew up the formation of the Qing army.

The Ming infantry rushed into the crowd of Qing soldiers, and rows of bayonets pierced into the bodies of Qing soldiers, knocking over a large number of Qing soldiers. The stragglers and snipers who followed behind fired cold shots in the back, constantly knocking down some Qing soldiers with strong hand-to-hand combat skills, or knocking down Qing officers. Some stragglers went directly back to the flank of the Qing army, fired a shot, and threw a grenade at the place where the Qing army was most crowded, before turning around and retreating to reload the bullet.

"Almost! It's time for the cavalry to storm the dogs! Dadu said to Wu Mahu, "The two sides have been fighting, and the Minggou formation is also chaotic!" At this time, the cavalry will be able to defeat the Ming Dog in one fell swoop! ”

"Wow!" Wu Mahu hit a thousand.

The 4,000 musketeers in front of the Ming army had already engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Qing army, and only 4,000 musketeers remained on the two flanks, 2,000 musketeers on each side, and 400 sword players who had not yet been put into battle. Looking from the Qing army's position, the two wings of the Ming army were very weak, with only a thin layer of sword players and two layers of musketeers, as well as the Ming cavalry walking slowly on horseback.

Wu Mahu put down the binoculars, stepped on his war horse, pulled out his saber and pointed at the left wing of the Ming army: "The left wing of the Ming dog is weak!" I, the warriors of the Eight Banners, launched an attack on the left flank of Minggou! ”

"Kill the dog!"

"Kill the barbarian!"

More than 10,000 cavalrymen of the Eight Banners drew their sabers in unison, shining dazzlingly in the sun. The cavalry began to move forward slowly, pressing towards the Ming position. The Qing cavalry charged, not at full speed, but first maintained the horsepower, and waited until it was close before charging. In addition, some archers will dismount and shoot arrows to accompany the cavalry charge.

"The Tartar cavalry is pressing over from the left flank!" Bai Guangyong reported to the king's [auxiliary] ministers.

"Good!" Wang [Fu] Chen smiled and nodded, "Send the order down, and prepare a swarm of rockets!" All the cannons, howitzers and mortars turned their muzzles and pulled the skirmishers back into formation! ”

The Eight Banners cavalry had approached about five hundred paces, and some of the cavalry began to accelerate, while the other part of the cavalry still kept approaching at a slow speed.

On the Ming army's position, the rocketeers lifted the canvas, revealing a swarm of bee vans. Dozens of soldiers lit torches.
