The Han army walked about a hundred steps away from the trench and began to attack with firecrackers and bows and arrows.
The firecrackers they used were old-fashioned matchlocks.
The barrels were long and thin, the rate of fire was slow and the power was low.
However, the Han army's archery skills were originally It was not their specialty, so Jingying ignored them at all and just watched them move on.
When the Han army advanced eighty steps, the archers inside began to launch missiles.
The target of the attack was the Ming army in the trench.
The Ming army clung to the wall of the trench to minimize the area under attack, so they would occasionally hear the sound from the trench.
A scream came.
When the Han army reached fifty steps in front of the formation, the ordering soldier saw the command flag starting to wave, so he shouted: "Aim the muzzle forward and be ready."
Suddenly there was a bang, and a soldier because Nervously, he pulled the trigger and hit a Han soldier in front of him, knocking him to the ground.
The other soldiers followed up and opened fire, sweeping away the Han soldiers in front.
The ordering soldiers were furious, and the officers of each department immediately issued an order: "Load the gunpowder and be ready."
The ordering soldiers then shouted: "No firing without orders."
At this time, the command flag waved a few more times, and the ordering soldiers said: "Fire in three sections."
The officers of each department immediately began to take over the command of the troops.
"The first battalion and the first division will attack for the first time.
Follow my command.
Fire."
"Start charging and wait for the second attack order."
It was the first time to participate in actual combat.
Some soldiers usually remembered the operation process firmly but now their minds were blank.
Some soldiers even did not fire the first shot at all.
However, most soldiers were able to follow the requirements of the drill.
Load and shoot, just at a much slower pace than in training.
Yang Guanggao carefully observed the enemy's movements.
When the Han army was only twenty steps away from the trench, he shouted, "Artillery fire."
The drummers next to him knocked on the edge of the drum in unison, and the clear bang sound spread far away.
The artillerymen The officers shouted in unison: "Fire."
The artillery in the trench in front roared. , the small lead bullets in the Tiger Crouching Cannon were sprayed forward in a fan shape, almost sweeping away the two rows of Han troops in the front, and some of the ones behind were also affected.
Immediately, a large number of Han troops fell to the ground, and some of them were dead at the time.
Fortunately, those Han soldiers who were not dead were covering their faces or wounds on their bodies, and their screams were really miserable.
The other Han troops did not dare to move forward, and some ran backwards.
After a few were hacked to death by the armored soldiers, they ran away to both sides.
This shelling knocked down at least 200 people, which was more than the total number of people knocked down by the previous firecrackers.
At this time, the Hou Jinjia soldiers were close, and they all used bows and arrows to launch attacks.
Their bow and arrow skills were much stronger than those of the Han army.
In addition, the soldiers in the trenches stood up to shoot or charge, so the area under attack increased. , so the effect achieved was much stronger than that of the Han army, and the screams of the Ming army obviously increased a lot.
But as we got closer, the hit rate of the fire blunderbuss also greatly increased, so more and more golden armored soldiers fell.
At this time, the drummer beat the drum three times at the same time, and then sounded one after another, twenty meters away from the trench.
The infantry phalanx began to move forward, the drums sounded, and one step forward, the rear golden armored soldiers began to shoot directly this way.
Soldiers kept falling down.
The officer immediately drove the soldiers behind to make up.
Yang Guanggao saw that the two were far apart.
After about thirty steps, he shouted: "Fire in sections."
The drummer banged hard, and the infantry square stopped.

The first row of soldiers squatted down, and the second and third rows of soldiers automatically staggered.
There was another loud bang, and the three rows of soldiers fired at the same time.
The front of the formation was instantly filled with gunpowder smoke.
At this time, the first three rows of soldiers stood in place and began to charge.
The 789th row came to the front, the 7th row squatted down, the 89th row staggered, heavy drums sounded, and there was another burst of gunfire, and then The 456th Platoon stepped forward to repeat.
All they could see in the formation was the sound of gunfire one after another.
The smoke in front of the formation was just about to dissipate and was filled up again.
The soldiers could not see the situation on the opposite side at all.
After three bursts of gunfire, the drums stopped ringing, and the wind slowly blew up the smoke, revealing the battlefield to everyone again.
A large number of armored soldiers fell, but some armored soldiers were already approaching the trench.
Some people were jumping into the trench.
Yang Guanggao ordered: "Quickly fire in sections.
The trench soldiers used bayonets to repel the enemy."
Drums sounded, and these three times The drumming sound was more urgent than the previous one, and there were three bursts of gunfire.
Then the drumming sound changed, and it was beaten four times in succession.
The voices of officers at all levels rang out in the trench: "Don't charge any more, use the bayonet after shooting."
Then the drums sounded three times in a row.
After loading the ammunition, the infantry phalanx began to advance under the leadership of the officers until they reached the edge of the trench.
The drums sounded alternately six times, and the officers of each formation shouted: "Free fire."
So after the front row finished shooting, they walked to the back to load the ammunition, and this cycle continued, constantly dumping ammunition toward the trench.
The Jiannu armor soldiers over there kept falling to the ground, and the Ming army infantry here also fell down from arrows from time to time.
They quickly asked the heavy soldiers to drag them behind, and the medical officer began to perform simple bandages.
Finally, Jiannu couldn't hold on any longer, and a golden sound sounded from the opposite side.
The armored soldiers began to retreat slowly and gathered together, but they all still faced the Ming army, shooting arrows as they retreated.
Yang Guanggao ordered the Hou Jin soldiers to advance slowly, and at the same time concentrated the infantry formations into two formations, each with six rows of infantry, and the two formations were separated by ten steps.
The soldiers followed the drumbeats and crossed the ditch, approaching step by step, and the sound of firing guns kept ringing.
When the gold-armored soldiers were about to retreat to the flag master, the formation suddenly changed.
A group of white-armored soldiers rushed out, throwing javelins and knives in their hands, and killed the soldiers in front of the first row of square formations.
He knocked down a dozen of them, then drew out his long weapon and slashed at the phalanx.
These white armors were all covered with two layers of armor.
After they rushed into the phalanx, they started to chop at random.
However, the infantry were no match for them when they used bayonets to deal with them.
The phalanx in front soon became chaotic.
The soldiers who fell to the ground screamed loudly.
The injured soldiers also began to flee in all directions, To avoid Bai Jia's slashing, some soldiers even started to run backwards and rushed towards the phalanx behind them.
The military judge in the phalanx behind shouted: "Run to the side, don't rush into the formation."
Then he walked to the front of the phalanx and encountered The soldiers who rushed to the front of the formation were cut down to the ground with one knife.
The other soldiers who were about to retreat saw this situation and sobered up a little.
They either turned around to fight Jiannu or ran to the side.
The first row of phalanx was quickly broken up by the white-armored soldiers, who then rushed towards the second row of phalanx.
The commanders of the second row saw clearly the lesson learned from the square formation in front, and naturally knew how to deal with it.
They all shouted: "Keep the formation, don't mess up, and shoot freely.
After shooting, no charges are allowed, and we use bayonets to kill together."
