The Qing cavalry let the rocket car shoot, and the forward formation was a little scattered, but this did not affect the charge of the Qing cavalry.Geng Jimao was in the smoke and dust, distinguishing the road in front of him, and he could already see the horse rejection pile and the van car behind.The duty of the light cavalry was to disrupt the Ming army's vehicle formation, clear the obstacles, and did not need to directly hit the vehicle formation, so as long as they were not hit by the Ming army's long-range fire, there was no danger.On the battlefield, the artillery rumbled, the rockets were scurrying, and the cavalry of the Qing army kept falling from their horses, which looked very terrifying, but in terms of the huge base of the Qing army, 14,000 cavalry charged, less than 200 people were shot down by shells and rockets, and only about two casualties among the 100 cavalry, Geng Jimao's situation was not dangerous.However, as the distance approached, the smoke was blown away, and the vision gradually became clearer, seeing the Ming soldiers stabbing sharp spears from the chariot, and from the holes in the wooden wall, sticking out muskets and Franc machine guns, Geng Jimao knew that the real danger was coming.As he shouted at the charge, he quietly slowed down and hid behind the galloping cavalry around him.At this time, the cavalry in front, through the thin smoke, saw the spears pierced from the chariot, and in the shooting hole, rows of muskets stretched out.Zhao Ming looked at the Qing cavalry who had entered the range of 100 paces, and calmly waved his hand again, "Musket shooting!"
”A whistle sounded, and the officers of the firearms teams immediately shouted, "Shoot!
”In an instant, in the wooden wall composed of chariots for several miles, the Ming army muskets fired a volley, during which there were also Franc machines, Huzun cannons, and three-pounder field guns, firing scattered bullet attacks, countless projectiles and iron sand, sweeping the Qing cavalry in front.The chariot was obscured by the smoke caused by the musket fire and artillery bombardment, and only the orange and red gun flames could be seen in the white smoke.The cavalry of the Qing army, which was rushing to the front, suddenly fell from their horses, the horses neighed, and the cavalry screamed again and again.Geng Jimao was empty in front of him, only to feel a hurricane blowing, and the surrounding cavalry fell like autumn leaves, and the war horses that lost control were surprised, neighing and scurrying around, and the Qing cavalry was in chaos.The Ming army's flintlock muskets were sharp, the rate of fire was fast, and the power was great, and the Qing army could be shot off the horse from a hundred paces away.Geng Jimao saw that he was within the range of the Ming army's muskets, and hurriedly lay on his horseback, and in this round of blows, the casualties of the Qing army increased sharply, and it was estimated that there were three or four hundred casualties.On the van, the Ming army used the method of one person to shoot and two people to load, and the Ming army, who had finished shooting one shot, immediately handed the empty firearm to his comrades, and then took a loaded musket, stretched out the muzzle of the gun, and aimed and shot.There was a "click", the hammer hit the reed, the spark flashed, the chamber of the gun "bang", a cloud of white smoke was raised, the musket shook backwards, and the muzzle sprayed orange flames and black whirling and beating projectiles.With a "poof" sound, the oncoming Qing cavalry had a cloud of blood mist rising from their chests, and their bodies flew upside down and fell off their horses.Under the banner of the Qing army, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming's eyes widened, and as the Ming army fired a series of guns, in a moment, the casualties of the Qing army of the two banners were close to a thousand horsemen.This made the two princes of the Great Qing Kingdom tremble and were dumbfounded.Fortunately, at this time, the cavalry of the Qing army had rushed to fifty paces before the Ming army's chariot formation, and was about to be able to throw fire canisters and shoot rockets to counterattack.At this time, the Qing army's forward cavalry had become more sparse, and the Qing army flew up the fire canister and prepared to throw.Geng Jimao roared loudly, "Fire pot ready!"
As soon as the words fell, the war horse screamed, the front hooves stepped on the thistle, the horse lost its front hooves, and the war horse led Geng Jimao out, smashing his face to the ground, and his teeth were shattered.In an instant, the cavalry of the Qing army fell in pieces, the fire pot on their bodies was shattered, and the fire oil was spilled on the ground.After the carriage, Yu Guowang jumped on the chariot, stood on a high place, ignited the rocket, and then bent the bow and arrow, struggled to pull the circle, shot an arrow, nailed to the ground, and suddenly rose in flames in front of the battle. ”Several war horses were engulfed in an instant, and there were several Qing cavalry, and a terrible howl rose to the sky.Geng Jimao stood up with a bloody face, the smoke was billowing around, the fire was soaring, the Qing cavalry who did not step on the thistle terrestris continued to rush forward, threw a fire pot at the Ming army, smashed in front of the car formation, the Qing cavalry shot arrows, sporadic rockets ignited the fire, the arrows were shot into the Ming army array, inserted in the wooden wall, and were blocked by the van.At this time, the musketeers of the Ming army, who had finished shooting a shot, took the loaded firearms, stretched out the muzzle of the gun from the perforation again, and prepared to return fire with a salvo."
Bang bang bang" A gunshot rang out, and the Qing cavalry died again.In the blazing firelight, Geng Jimao was dumbfounded, and the cavalry attack was originally the most skilled and proud means of the Qing army, but at this time, it seemed to be sending him to death.This is not surprising, in the past, the Ming army infantry was besieged by cavalry, and the weapons that could be used were a small number of artillery, bird guns and bows and arrows, among which only artillery and bird guns had the advantage of range, and they could start attacking cavalry before the cavalry cavalry fired.However, the number of artillery of the Ming army is scarce, and the threat to the cavalry of the Qing army is not great, and the power of the bird gun is insufficient, it is difficult to break the armor, and it is easy to blow up, so even if the cavalry of the Qing army gallops around the Ming army's infantry and shoots, throwing waves of arrows at the Ming army, there is no danger.In this way, after the Ming army was shot by the cavalry after several waves of arrows, the army formation would be chaotic, and the Qing army could be harvested with a heavy cavalry.But now, three miles away, it was bombarded by the heavy artillery of the Ming army's naval division, and then there were rockets and field artillery, and then flintlock muskets and shotgun shots, all of which had the same range and power, and were stronger than the cavalry bows in the hands of the Qing army.Geng Jimao didn't care about the light cavalry, whether he had completed the task of attacking and disturbing the formation, the blood in his heart had long since disappeared, and he turned over an ownerless war horse, and he roared urgently, "Withdraw!"
”Geng Jimao broke his front teeth, his speech was leaky, and his voice was indistinct, but without his order, the Qing light cavalry hurriedly released an arrow, and then pulled out their horses and retreated to both sides.At this time, the result of the light cavalry was only that the number of vans was ignited, and then the hook lock opened some horse rejection stakes, and it did not have the effect of disrupting the Ming army's chariot formation.The light cavalry retreated to both sides, revealing heavy cavalry in strong armor, and they did not receive orders to charge forward with their rifles raised and their rifles along the road cleared by the light cavalry.The heavy cavalry stepped on the thistles that had not been cleaned up, and fell down in pieces, and the cavalry behind continued to move forward, and under the bombardment of guns, they slammed into the car formation, and were immediately stabbed to death by spears.Under the banner of the Qing army, Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde were in a hurry, and there were many Qing soldiers, but they couldn't be ruined like this, not to mention that it was their subordinates who died."
Lord Wang, withdraw the troops first!"
Kong Youde said urgently.Geng Zhongming also panicked, "Lord Wang, this is sending him to death!"
Hurry up and mingle!
