The Ming army's large firearms began to be fired.

The Houjin soldiers and the Ming army were very close to each other, the war horses galloped and soon entered the firing range, first there were sporadic artillery sounds, then bursts of white smoke, and then more artillery fired, the cannon rumbled and kept ringing, first scattered sporadically, when the Houjin army approached a distance of several hundred steps, the artillery suddenly became more, the Ming army may have nearly 100 artillery pieces of all kinds, of course, the vast majority of them are small-caliber cannons and tiger squat guns, more cannons are still in the baggage camp, where there are a considerable number of general cannons and large-mouth Buddha machinesThe caliber of these guns on the current position is too small, and the effective killing distance has been calculated according to the actual operation of Zhang Han and others, that is, within 100 steps, and more than 100 steps away is to hear a sound, and the lethality is really limited, similar to the firecracker, and even not as far as the Lumi gun, which has better closed performance.

"It's too early!" Li Zhiye was in a hurry, and his speech changed from official dialect to a thick Zhejiang accent.

"It's too early." Liang Xing said with a calm face: "Look at this distance, that is, put an artillery battle." ”

The Ming army was too flustered, under the pressure of the collapse of the earth created by the Houjin army, many Ming soldiers including generals and colonels were panicked, under the huge pressure, people always relied too much on the weapons in their hands, those who had spears held the spears, and those with firearms in their hands were their biggest support, and the firearms in their hands were released before the enemy rushed up, killing or deterring the enemy, at least to give themselves courage......

"Alas, what a bird war this is fighting!" Duo'er and Wang Yikui both held their heads and sighed together.

The Zhao brothers and Li Laibin were all anxious to jump to their feet.

People's emotions can finally be released, and they have really held back for too long in this Jurchen realm.

"Alas......" Zhang Han also sighed, and then he said to everyone: "You can't blame them, our Daming battalion soldiers are too lacking in training. ”

Li Zhiye shook his head and said: "Don't say that you practice the same method as Qi Shuai, it's okay to practice courage for them if you have nothing to do." The firecrackers are usually put away and watched by the eunuchs, and the soldiers often do not let go of a gun for several months, so it is strange that they can fight well. ”

In the rumbling artillery, the offensive of the Eight Banners did not decrease at all, and after the field battle with the Ming army in Liaozhen led by Zhang Chengyin, the Jurchens who had been fighting for a long time had found that the firearms of the Ming army were only terrifying, but the lethality was really limited, and there was no need to hesitate to dodge, just continue to rush forward.

The striker soon rushed to within 100 steps, rushing to the front is mainly the flag ding, the number of armor is not very much, the Ming army occupies a favorable position, these flag soldiers have to attack on the back, but in the eyes of Zhang Han and others, the eight banner soldiers roared like the wind, completely ignoring the artillery bombardment of the Ming army, the artillery of the Ming army did not cause many casualties, when the eight banner soldiers rushed forward again, finally there was a Ming army gunner began to play, and then crackled like a bean, the Ming army gunners of the entire front were all released, neither salvo, the distance was remote, Except for some unlucky ghosts who rushed past and accidentally fell off their horses with projectiles, the casualties of the Eight Banners were almost negligible.

There was a sound of slamming and clearing the chamber on the Ming army's front, there were too many people, and the sound of lala came to Zhang Han's side, but at this time, Zhang Han's attention was not on the Ming army, they looked more at those flag marksmen.

"Collapse, collapse, collapse, collapse......"

Almost everyone's ears sounded like a sound like playing cotton, the movement of tens of millions of people shooting arrows together was too big, almost in an instant, the sound of Houjin soldiers shooting arrows overshadowed the roar of the Ming artillery, and the sound of rustling arrows flying into the air sounded on the battlefield, like the wind blowing through the forest, and at the same time more than 10,000 arrows swept through the air, in the vision of Zhang Han and others, these arrows almost filled their eyes in the blink of an eye.

Everyone was nervous, and Houjin's so-called invincibility in mounted archery had a touted side, as well as a real side. Jurchen men began to learn to draw a bow when they were children who could stand, and began to shoot formally when they became adults, and their mastery of bows and arrows was not comparable to that of agricultural peoples, and the adult bannermen of Houjin generally used ten bows and arrows, which were about equal to one hundred and thirty pounds of strength, and could easily shoot through leather armor or cotton armor within 100 steps, and the armor of the Ming army's equipment was generally leather armor or cotton armor, and the defense power was extremely low for the protection of arrows within 100 steps.

Arrows swept through the air, after the Jin soldiers ten thousand arrows fired together, shot back to the Ming army array at the height of the slope, their arrows shot fast and accurate, and the strength was great, in Zhang Han's eyes, the first few columns of the Ming army were shot over almost instantly, many Ming soldiers were shot in the face or neck or chest arrows, the arrows were deep in the muscles, cutting through the skin and muscles, bursting out blood, thin leather armor or cotton armor could not prevent such a strong shot, the heavy arrow arrows of the Houjin soldiers were flattened, the iron arrows were extremely sharp, the momentum was heavy, and the arrows hit the human body and caused great damage, At the same time as the blood flowed out, the arrows went deep into the internal organs, smashed the internal organs, or shot the bones, a large number of Ming soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, like rows of wheat that were harvested and lodging, a large number of soldiers were shot and fell to the ground as far as the naked eye could see, and those panicked and loaded firecrackers were even more unable to load, most of their movements were interrupted, only a few people were successfully loaded, and they did not wait for the unified order of the officer, one after another to send the firecrackers, the effect was much stronger than just now, and there were some unlucky Eight Banner soldiers who were knocked off their horses by the firearms.

Zhang Han saw that a cannon had just lit the fuse, and it exploded on the position with a bang, and the broken cannon body burst into the Ming army's formation, smashing several recent Ming soldiers into meat pies.

The Jurchens' arrows shot fast and fiercely, almost without stopping, after Zhang Han held his breath and watched less than a quarter of an hour's effort, the Ming army's position had been loosened, more than 20,000 people were surrounded and beaten by more than 40,000 people, frontal, left, right, the sky was full of flying arrows, everywhere was the shouting of fighting, people were like ant colonies, impacting each other, fighting, roaring, the bannermen of the six flags and the armored people galloped back and forth, shooting back, and kept filling the arrows in their hands and shooting them out, At this time, no one cares about retaining physical strength or sore arms, the arrows are shot quickly and densely, the rainstorm of arrows will hit the Ming army can not raise its head, rows of pikemen and firecrackers were shot over, the array of the Ming army was constantly opened one by one gaps, although the generals of the inner layer kept sending troops forward to fill it, but under such a blow, the morale of the Ming soldiers began to collapse significantly, and the entire battlefield was almost completely covered by the shouts of the Jurchens and the sound of the bowstring tightening and loosening, except for the sporadic sound of artillery and guns.

"The time has come." Duo'er's round face collapsed badly, and his voice trembled, compared with Liang Xing and Wang Yikui and others, Duo'er and Li Zhiye and others were more devoted, and the sense of substitution was much stronger.

If it weren't for their early withdrawal from the border army, it is quite possible that they would be on the opposite battlefield.

Of course, they may have died a long time ago, in the outpost battle just now, the generals did not send the most elite family members, the Ming army fought mostly sentry and beam horses, of course, there are a large number of night do not collect, these elite cavalry is also a valuable wealth, before the Eight Banners have been killed and wounded, the Ming army's rangers are far from being the opponent of the Jurchens, and the most elite family is regarded by the generals as the most important killer weapon, and it will not be released until the last moment.

As if in response to Duo'er's words, the sweat shook, and then a large number of silver-armored swinging tooth lads and iron-clad cavalry gathered together, at least four or five thousand heavily armored cavalry gathered on one wing of the battlefield, under the command of the banner, rushed towards the Ming army array with the largest gap.

A large number of armored soldiers poured forward from the rear team, the bannermen who had been shooting arrows retreated, and the armored soldiers handed over their war horses to others, holding the long soldiers in their hands, iron spears, picking knives, iron sickles, layer upon layer, and flocked to the front in groups.

The weapons in their hands are extremely skillful, and soon fight with the battalion soldiers in front of the Ming army, these Jurchens have been in battle for a long time, and can become the most vigorous and combative warriors in the Eight Banners, when they are separated from the battle formation of the Ming army to about ten steps, these armored soldiers put the spears and broadswords in their hands flat, and let out a wolf-like roar, the array of the Ming army has been mutilated by the rain of arrows, staggered like dogs' teeth, and the armored soldiers rely on not only skillful martial arts and extraordinary courage, Their queue was also far more neat than that of the Ming army, and under the orders of Bashiku and Niu Lu Ezhen, rows of spears and broadswords stabbed or slashed, cutting the Ming army's array into a rain of blood.

At this time, the gathered ironclad cavalry also began to charge, they found a larger gap, the rudimentary defense facilities set up by the Ming army were useless, the movement of thousands of war horses galloping up can only be described as a landslide, the rudimentary defense only tripped a small number of cavalry, and more armored cavalry kept pouring in, rushing towards the enemy formation.

A hideous white-armored soldier rushed in, he held a tiger, tooth gun, a Ming army officer wearing a rare iron scale armor rushed forward, this white armor wearing silver armor action is very fast, he stretched the iron gun forward in his hand, calculated the horse speed and distance after the iron gun stabbed straight to the Ming officer's chest, under the huge inertia, the tip of the steel quickly pierced through the armor of the iron armor, the head of the gun went straight into more than half, the Ming army officer spurted blood, both hands were loosened, and the big knife in his hand fell.

The white armor barely stayed, with a flick of the wrist, the iron gun was pulled out, and then it stabbed at the back of another Ming army, the flat tip of the spear tore a huge crack in the opponent's back, the back of the Ming army seemed to be torn apart, blood gushed out, you can clearly see that the open muscles are trembling, the Ming army seems to have lost its sense of pain, and is still running desperately backwards, the white armor has no longer care about him, looking for the next target by himself, but after a few breaths, That Ming army would lose too much blood and fall to the ground and die, and it was not worth wasting the physical strength of another swing and stab for this dead man.
