Li Mo is also an officer and soldier of the Guangdong Firearms Battalion, who used to be Zuo Wuwei's deputy, the officer was the commander of the firearms battalion, and now he is the commander of the artillery battalion of the first regiment and the second regiment with Zuo Wuwei respectively, which can be regarded as reused. He was very envious of his old superiors for his great achievements in the battle of Changyi, and he had been holding back his strength to show his ability, and today he finally had a place to use, and immediately after receiving the order, he commanded the mountain artillery to be pushed up and set up in the gap between the four infantry battalions.

Huang Hansheng once "forced" Zuo Wuwei in the battle of Changyi to stage a wonderful scene of "bayonets on the cannon", after the war, this emergency tactic was seriously discussed, Zuo Wuwei, Li Mo and other professional artillery commanders agreed that under certain conditions, this artillery tactic is feasible - provided that the enemy does not have decent artillery to pose a threat to themselves.

The officers and soldiers of Datong Town advanced painfully in a tangle, and they would be killed by muskets in the front, and hacked to death by the Tartars in the back, and they would run on both sides, and the Tartars' archers drove back with a random arrow, and they became rats in the bellows - angry at both ends. But soon they won't have to worry about it, because the mountain cannon has been set up and the horn of the call for their lives has been sounded.

"Boom, boom, boom", the sound of cannons echoed on this battlefield for the first time today, and the ferocious shotgun flew towards the officers and soldiers who were close to the late feet with a whining and whining sound of breaking through the air, and they were still struggling and struggling They were swept away by the dense projectiles, and the broken meat crumbs were even carried away by the huge impact force dozens of meters away, mixed with blood splashed on the heads and faces of the Houjin soldiers who drove away the opponent, making these guys look confused.

This tactic of firing the cannon almost against the head made the officers and soldiers of Datong Town crazy, they were afraid of death, afraid of the saber of the Tartar, but this way of dying by the rain of bullets and grinding into minced meat made them even more afraid. There was no need for anyone to mobilize, all the people spread out to both sides like crazy, no matter how dense the bows and arrows were, the foot archers who were responsible for blocking the two wings were scattered by the impact, and many people were even directly trampled to death by the empty-handed officers and soldiers.

Xia Nan spat disdainfully: "You have to be like this to understand the rules, it's really cheap!" "If there is no artillery bombardment, the cowardly officers and soldiers would rather die at the guns of their own men than turn around and fight with the Tartars, and the Tartars will drive the officers and soldiers as cannon fodder, and then then attack. This is an old-fashioned but practical way of attacking, which minimizes casualties during the Tartar assault and allows for an attack at close range with a largely intact force.

Two rounds of artillery bombardment fell, and the officers and soldiers of Datong Town, which was blocking between the Qiong Navy and the Houjin army, died and ran, and the two armies suddenly became empty.

Seeing that the cover of cannon fodder was lost, the Houjin cavalry reacted quickly, dismounted one after another, trotted towards the opponent, and took off the strong bow behind his back with his backhand in the process of running. Although the cavalry had a good effect on the thin horizontal formation, the corpses piled up on the ground constituted a natural rejection of the horse, and the war horse could not successfully pass through this large corpse obstacle, so attacking on foot was a better choice.

In the capital of the Ming Dynasty, outside the Yongding Gate, the first confrontation between the white flag and the Qiong navy, which was the main force of the Houjin Dynasty, kicked off.

The gunners of the mountain guns raised their torches and lit the fuse again, and the infantrymen raised their guns and aimed them forward, pulling the trigger; The armor soldiers shot heavy arrows in their hands as they ran. Within the range of the rifles, close enough for both sides to see the scars on their faces, and the artillery, rifles, and bows were all lethal, and both sides attacked in the way they did best.

As soon as the gunner lit the fuse, the heavy arrow pierced the skull and fell limply on the barrel; The infantry in the horizontal column were also shot by arrows at the same time as pulling the trigger, and fell one after another. After all, the opponent's attack was too close, and with almost no casualties, it was within a few dozen paces, and the morale and will to fight were at the highest peak—all thanks to Wang Pu, a pig teammate, whose subordinates blocked most of the bullets for the enemy, allowing the enemy to approach calmly.

Seeing this scene from behind, Azig smiled happily, like a jackal after catching its prey. At this moment, he thought that he could defeat the opponent who embarrassed Abatai, and from then on he was above him and became one of the few famous generals in Dajin.

But his smile quickly froze on his face.

"Boom boom", the dense shotgun and lead came first, smashing on the opponent dozens of steps away, and the running armor soldiers rose into the air under the action of the huge impact, and the bow and arrow in their hands were torn into pieces, turning into a rain of blood. The dense forward troops were swept away like leaves blown by a storm, leaving only the wreckage all over the ground.

Azig's mouth was wide open, unable to believe what he was seeing. In the face of the storm of metal, manpower was so small, and it was the first time he felt that the invincible Dajin warriors were so vulnerable. It turned out that Abatai was defeated under such perverted firepower!

However, he had a lot of combat experience and reacted quickly, so he immediately came back to his senses and ordered: "The whole army will concentrate on one place to break through and fill it with human lives!" Send someone back to inform Abatai and Yanguli and have them outflank them from both sides with their vests! ”

Although Azig is arrogant and domineering, and his personality is not pleasant, his military talent is unquestionable, and this is the most appropriate tactic for cold weapons troops against hot weapons troops in the current battlefield situation.

Thanks to the sandbag effect of the officers and soldiers of Datong Town, Houjin's team has smoothly advanced to a distance of dozens of paces, and although they have suffered a head-on blow just now, the armored soldiers with white flags can still calmly launch another attack from a very close distance, which is extremely unfavorable to the Qiong Navy.

In previous battles, the Joan navy mostly formed a phalanx or a horizontal formation, relying on the combination of artillery + rifle, which could weaken the opponent's living force from a distance of thousands of steps. Advancing from the range of artillery to the range of rifles, Joan's opponents had to pay a terrible price, and even if they were able to enter a white-knuckle battle, the staggering casualties and low morale would greatly reduce their combat effectiveness.

And in this battle, the Qiong Navy was counterattacking on the spot during the march, the field artillery could not keep up with the role at all, although the mountain artillery fired, but the distance was too close, the gunner was also exposed to the enemy's bow and arrow strike range, and the enemy's attack distance was too short, under the advantages of the Qiong Navy, most of the advantages of the Qiong Navy were neutralized, and Houjin's melee advantage was fully amplified. Faced with the strongest cold weapon force on the East Asian continent, the Qiong Navy began a contest with the white flag in a very unfavorable situation.
