Not long after, Wang Ying and Jiang Zhanyuan's Green Battalion soldiers arrived one after another, and the North Korean Eight Banners and the North Korean Green Battalion also arrived. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Qing reinforcements arrived, but the Ming cavalry also arrived, with a total of 5,000 dragoons and 3,000 heavy cavalry. A thousand of the king's dragoons were armed with new breech-loading rifled guns, while the rest still used double-barreled longguns or ordinary muskets, and some sharpshooters used pulley bows. The armament of the heavy cavalry remained the same, 1,000 lance ironclad cavalry, 2,000 heavy cavalry armed with spears and sabers.

The reason why the cavalry of the Ming army came relatively late was because the cavalry received the signal from the infantry and rushed to reinforce it.

"Our army has been assembled, and the dogs have arrived! It's time to pull it away and fight a decisive battle! Dadu looked at the Ming army formation in front of him and said.

The Qing army had already gathered 85,000 troops, and the Ming army on the opposite side was only 21,000 men. Judging from the formation, it can be seen that the formation of the Ming army is obviously much thinner, and the number of troops is much less.

"Attack with infantry first! The cavalry waits for the right moment to attack the Ming Dog! Dadu gave the order.

Of the 85,000 people, against 21,000 people, Dadu felt that there was still a good hope of defeating the Ming army in front of him in one fell swoop. Although the Ming army's firearms were sharp, he only needed to use infantry as cannon fodder, consume the Ming army's shells, attract the Ming army's artillery to open artillery bombardment, and then use the Eight Banners cavalry to approach the range of bows and arrows, and use arrows to cause heavy casualties to the Ming army.

"The Tartars are attacking!" The king's [auxiliary] ministers gave an order to the heavy cavalry, "Don't act rashly, wait for the opportunity!" As soon as the Tartars were scattered by our rockets, the cavalry immediately attacked! ”

"Whoa!" Bai Guangyong retreated.

Wang [Fu] Chen turned his head again and gave an order to Wang Zihao: "Your men dismount and shoot, and cooperate with the infantry to fight!" As soon as the Tartar gets close, avoid its edge, the key is to harass the Tartar! Wait for the Tartar formation to be chaotic and immediately get on your horse and charge! ”

"No!" Wang Zihao stepped back.

The infantry of the Qing army lined up in a neat formation and pressed up towards the Ming army formation step by step. From time to time, the Qing artillery behind erupted a ball of fireball, and the shells smashed into the Ming formation. Most of the shells missed, and a few shells fell in the Ming formation, causing more than a dozen casualties among the Ming soldiers.

The artillery of the Ming army also fired back, because the artillery of the Ming army had a long range and much higher accuracy, dozens of shells fell into the crowd of Qing infantry, and the solid shells bounced and rolled in the crowd, and immediately pulled out a bloody alley.

"Skirmishers, strike! Knock out the Tartar gunners! Gong Xiaoda gave an order. He was confident in the heavy Minnie rifles that his stragglers and snipers could shoot at a range of up to a thousand paces.

Two hundred and sixty stragglers armed with Minnie rifled guns and thirty snipers immediately stepped out of the middle of the hollow array. The Ming army in green uniforms spread out, with guns in their hands, and rushed towards the artillery positions of the Qing army with their waists bent. Stragglers and snipers scattered in twos and threes. At this time, the artillery of the Qing army had just finished firing and was too late to reload.

"Minggou's remote god is here!" A Qing officer shouted.

"Don't be afraid! There aren't many of them, and they can't beat a few of us! Jiang Zhanyuan replied.

The Qing army did not know at all that the real target of those Ming stragglers and snipers was not their infantry, but the artillery directly aimed at them!

"Aim at Minggou's long-range god hand, fire!" The Qing artillery garrison shouted.

The Qing artillery that had just finished loading turned its muzzle and aimed at the approaching Ming stragglers, dozens of guns spewed fire, and the shells whistled and smashed over. However, the stragglers and snipers of the Ming army were all very scattered formations, and they were shelled by the Qing army, and there were not many people who were hit, and only more than ten people fell.

After firing a round of shells, the Qing gunners did not have time to reload, and the stragglers and snipers of the Ming army had already come up.

When there were still 300 paces away from the Qing artillery team, the Ming stragglers and snipers suddenly stopped advancing, raised their muskets one after another, and aimed at the Qing artillery shells more than 300 steps away.

The muzzle of the gun spewed fire, the light blue smoke rose, and nearly 300 bullets accurately hit the Qing artillery team, only to see bursts of blood mist rising in the Qing artillery team, only to hear a miserable scream, the Qing army gunners who were busy loading shells spurted blood one after another, screaming and falling.

However, after more than ten seconds, the stragglers and snipers of the Ming army pulled the trigger again, and another round of bullets was fired, and a large number of corpses fell on the side of the Qing army's artillery position.

"Cavalry! Go and dispel Minggou's ranged guns! Wu Mahu shouted anxiously.

At this time, the stragglers and snipers of the Ming army had already completed the third round of shooting, and when they saw the Qing cavalry rushing out, the stragglers and snipers turned around and spread their legs and ran. The Qing cavalry was still more than a thousand paces away from them, and they ran back into their formation, but at a distance of more than two hundred paces, it was impossible for the Qing cavalry to catch up with the stragglers and snipers before they fled back.

"Kill the dog!" More than 1,000 cavalry rode up and rushed forward, but they were soon disappointed, because the Ming stragglers were too close to their formation, and it was difficult for the cavalry to stop their opponents before they could withdraw to the main formation.

"Stop chasing!" A Qing army leader shouted, "If we chase after us, we will run into the Ming Dog infantry!" ”

The cavalry of the Eight Banners gave up the pursuit, turned around and retreated with a whistle. However, more than a dozen Eight Banner cavalry could not restrain their horses and rushed to a hundred and fifty steps in front of the Ming army. At this moment, a row of gunfire rang out in the Ming formation, and the mini bullets fired from rifled guns accurately hit these Qing soldiers. After a row of gunfire, more than a dozen Eight Banner cavalrymen were all beaten into a sieve.

The Qing infantry was pressing towards the seemingly weak Ming army formation step by step, and the Qing soldiers in front were all musketeers, and they planned to go sixty steps in front of the Ming army and then shoot at the Ming army.

Just when the infantry of the Qing army was still one hundred and fifty steps away from the formation of the Ming army, they heard a row of gunfire, and the Ming army line lined up in the formation of the infantry spewed dazzling firelight, and the choking white smoke curled up, and the entire position was filled with smoke.

"Minggou's red-clothed infantry fired so far? It seems that the tactical level of these Ming dogs has degraded to the point that it is almost the same as the Ming dogs in Liaodong at that time! Dadu muttered to himself. In the past, when the Ming army was in Liaodong, they fought with the Houjin army, and the bird guns in their hands always fired indiscriminately from a long distance, but when the Qing army rushed to them, the bird guns did not have time to reload.

This time, the Ming army opened fire from a long distance, and at a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, if you want to hit the target with a smoothbore gun, it is as impossible as raising the muzzle of the gun to shoot at the moon and trying to hit the moon.

But something happened to Dadu and the others: after a row of gunshots, countless Qing soldiers were shot and fell to the ground screaming.

However, in just over ten seconds, another row of bullets pierced into the Qing army's infantry formation, knocking down at least 100 people.
