With a wave of his hand, Atairie led a group of Jurchen soldiers and ran forward with spears.
He shot the Cossack cavalry who was still struggling on the ground.
After confirming that he had been killed, he ran towards another person.
After cleaning up, Atairie whistled, and the Jurchen soldiers retreated again.
Atairie said to Sun Fumin: "Report to the battalion commander, a total of twenty-three people were killed."
Sun Fumin smiled and said: "Well done.
Get ready.
Their next round of attacks is coming.
This time they may charge directly into the formation."
Artai Lie laughed and said: "My sons, get ready, these Rakshasa people are coming to seek death.
Hold the gun barrel tightly and hang them like meat skewers."
Bosak's face was gloomy.
Before the arrows were fired during the two attacks, dozens of people were shot down by the Ming army with muskets.
This was a defeat that the invincible Cossacks had never encountered before.
Maybe I overestimated these Ming troops.
I didn't need to make any detours at all.
I should be able to crush them directly by rushing over.
He issued an order, and after making a circle, the Cossacks took out their sabers, started shouting loudly, and rushed towards the Ming army.
Sun Fumin said loudly: "The fire gun soldiers are divided into two, three rows of attacks at a time, with an interval of five seconds."
The commander of the musketeers followed his instructions and issued the order to fire when the Cossacks were more than a hundred steps away, and then gave the order again five seconds later.
When the Cossacks charged, they lowered their bodies and most of them were blocked by the horses, so most of the bullets landed on the horses.
The horse was shot and fell to the ground.
The Cossack cavalry flexibly floated off the horse and avoided the horses behind it.
Sun Fumin looked at this scene and said: "They simply live on horses.
Their riding skills are probably better than the Mongolian cavalry.
Such an opponent is indeed very difficult."
The deputy battalion commander smiled and said: "Yes, but after we fired two rounds, at least more than a hundred Cossacks fell to the ground or lost their horses.
Didn't we say last time that they were unwilling to dismount and fight?
We killed the horses.
In fact, That means they lose their fighting ability.”
Sun Fumin nodded.
At this time, the gun soldiers in the front row had already loaded their bayonets and faced the front after firing, while those in the back row began to load ammunition.
After the Cossacks almost broke through the defense line last time, Sun Fumin emphasized that when facing the enemy's cavalry, one must always be ready to kill the enemy with bayonets, and not put all hope on the lethality of firecrackers.
At this time, the musketeers in the rear row were firing freely, and the Cossack cavalry had already crashed into the spear array in front.
These fierce cavalry flew up from their horses and slashed at the Jurchen infantry holding spears with their sabers.
The Jurchen infantrymen did not dare to relax while holding the spear shaft with both hands, and could only move slightly to avoid it.
At this time, the bayonets of the fire gun soldiers beside them helped them block the Cossack attack.
Sun Fumin said: "They are unwilling to dismount and fight, but after the horse is injured, they have to struggle to survive in order to save their lives.
After dismounting, their lethality is greatly reduced, but the saber is sharp and flexible, which is a bit troublesome."
The deputy battalion commander said: "Our spears and bayonets are also very good, and they can compete with their sabers.
Moreover, we have the advantage of length and a large number of people.
Our artillery has not spoken yet."
At this time, the artillerymen had already loaded the shells and were anxiously waiting for the artillery director to issue orders.
The artillery director was unhurried and kept watching the battle ahead.
Because the Cossacks moved too fast, the artillery could not be placed at the front.

It could only be mixed in among the firecrackers, and naturally it was impossible to fire.
Now that the firecrackers were on the front and back, a space was vacated.
When the Cossacks hit the spear formation, he waved his hand and the shells flew upwards with a roar, and then landed behind the Cossacks.
In the formation.
The violent explosions carried sharp, spinning shrapnel, mercilessly killing the Cossacks and horses, and interrupted the continuity of the Cossack cavalry attack, isolating the Cossacks fighting the infantry in front from the cavalry behind.
Come on.
The fire gun soldiers in the back row of the spear formation were ordered to shoot freely.
At a place no more than a dozen steps away from the enemy, the accuracy of the fire gun soldiers was greatly improved.
The fire gun soldiers did not choose the enemy's head. , but fired at the Cossack's chest, which made the bullet less likely to miss the target.
As long as it hit the Cossack, it would cause great damage no matter where it was.
The battle between the two sides soon became intense with the bombardment of artillery, the sound of cannons, the sound of muskets, the sound of sabers piercing flesh, the sound of bayonets rubbing against bones, various screams, and the whine of a dying horse.
The combination makes some people more excited and some people fearful.
At this time, Sun Fumin's guards raised a flag and began to wave it from side to side.
The Mongolian cavalry, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately said to Crete: "The battalion commander wants us to start an attack.
It is a long-range bow and arrow attack."
Crete looked at the flag and shouted: "Children, take out your iron bows and draw out your iron arrows.
It's time for us Mongolian warriors to make meritorious deeds."
After the Mongols were recruited into the Guards, they received new iron bows, which were much better than the wooden bows they used before, and the arrows with iron arrowheads were far stronger than them.
Wolf fang arrow.
They felt the sharpness and ease of use of the new bow during their daily training, and now that they finally had the opportunity to open it, they were naturally very excited.
The cavalry clamped the horse's belly with their legs, holding a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, and rushed towards the rear line of the Cossacks in front.
When it comes to horseback riding and shooting, the Mongols are not shy of anyone.
The Cossacks just wanted to show off their skills in front of the Ming army, but they were severely punished by the musketeers.
Now there are no musketeers among the Rakshasa people, so It became a performance venue for the Mongolian cavalry.
The iron arrow made a sharp sound and hit the Cossack's mount.
Shooting the man first and shooting the horse is the basic tactical principle followed by the nomads.
When the Cossack rushed towards him with his saber, the Mongolian cavalry quickly dodged and then shot back with an arrow.
Shoot the pursuer or mount.
The Mongolians' riding and archery skills are indeed second to none in the world.
When an arrow is shot, it will definitely hit the target, either a person or a horse.
Crete shouted excitedly: "Come on, come on, let's do cavalry and archery again.
You are really shameless when you show off cavalry and archery in front of our Mongolian warriors."
Although there were only 500 Mongolian cavalry, after the Cossacks were divided into two parts, they achieved excellent results in harassing the Cossack rear formation.
The Mongols only used bows and arrows and did not fight with the Cossacks on horseback at all.
This tactic of retreating with one blow cost the Cossacks dozens of lives, while the Mongolian cavalry suffered no damage
