Cannons with a range of more than two miles, mortars with different calibers...

It was like playing a game, with the fastest rate of fire, fired shells into the Tatar cavalry that was getting closer and closer to him in front of the position.

As it was raining in the air, the sound of the continuous explosion of flowering bombs. The densely packed Tatar cavalry tried for the first time, and the powerful power of artillery fire was covered.

Because, on the battlefield completely enveloped by the explosion of shells, every round of flowering bullets can open a huge gap between the Tatar cavalry.

Although this gap was made up for a short period of time by the cavalry that followed.

However, they were still in a neat cavalry formation at the beginning, but at this moment, they were already in chaos with the blowing bombs, and they were directly caught in a situation where the soldiers could not find their generals and the generals could not find their soldiers.

More importantly, the large number of war horses and soldiers' corpses fell on the charge road invisibly became roadblocks that hindered the subsequent cavalry from carrying out high-speed charges, and to a certain extent, hindered the speed of the Tartar cavalry's charge.

The slower charge of the Tartars means that the time they have to bear the flowering bullet will become longer and longer...

On the main position of the Later Jin army, looking at the elite cavalry he sent out, one after another, fell to the ground. The face of the commander of the Later Jin army was directly covered by anger, worry... all kinds of complex expressions...

The attack continued until now, although the eight thousand iron cavalry he sent had lost almost two thousand people, the commander of the Later Jin army, who had clenched his fists, did not issue a retreat order.

He was betting...the cavalry troops he sent out still had the ability to charge less than two hundred steps.

As long as the remaining cavalry rushed through this distance, even if they paid another two thousand soldiers, or even three thousand soldiers, it was very worthwhile and cost-effective for the commander of the Later Jin army...

In his eyes, whether it is the border army of the Ming Dynasty or the Tiger and Leopard Army he is currently facing, they all have one thing in common, that is, the Han people are all armies composed of Han people.

Everyone knows that although the firearms of the Han army are very powerful, in close combat, the Han people will become little sheep without any danger...

Therefore, the commander of the Later Jin army, who was in charge of this conventional idea, was very sure that as long as the cavalry he sent out rushed into the Tiger and Leopard Army formation, even if there were only two or three thousand iron cavalry. He could gallop at will and kill the enemy at will... completely disrupt the Tiger and Leopard Army position. At that time, as long as he sent the remaining troops and took advantage of the situation to cover up the Tiger and Leopard Army formation, he would definitely win the final victory...

However, while the commander of the Later Jin army underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Tiger and Leopard Army, he also overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Iron Cavalry under his command.

In his previous battles with the Ming border army, the price of the Later Jin cavalry rushing into the opponent's military formation is no matter how high it is, it is not more than 30% of the total military force. In this case, the cavalry under his command can still directly enter the opponent's military formation with high morale and unstoppable momentum...

However, when the offensive troops lose 50% on the offensive road, no matter how elite troops are, they will be depressed due to heavy casualties.

On the battlefield, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of a unit is, no matter how good the equipment is... Once the morale is lost, the courage to continue fighting, then this army with strong combat will become a group of Mianyang...

Of course, this is not the worst result.

When an army without faith has an astonishing 70% of its war losses, what is waiting for this army is not as simple as a low morale, but a direct collapse of the battlefield.

In the attack in front of us, the price the Tartar cavalry had to pay was obviously more than 50%, or even 70%. Because so far, the loss of this iron has reached as much as 30%.

What stood in front of them was the attack of two sharp firearms, muskets and grenades.

Not only that, their follow-up troops are still continuing to withstand the attack and damage of flowering bullets of various caliber...

Soon, a chaotic Iron Tatar cavalry rushed into the range of the musket.

A field infantry division, with three or four thousand new flintlock guns, even if it uses the most conventional three-stage shooting, there are more than a thousand lead bullets shot out in each round.

You should know that more than a thousand lead bullets are shot to the front. Within the effective range, only when hitting the target can you stop. In other words, the Tartar cavalry rushing in the front row will be hit as long as they enter the range of the musket.

Therefore, when the first round of lead bullets flew out of the gun chamber with a whistling sound, the hundreds of Tartar cavalry rushed in the front, as if they were taking off their clothes, and were directly stripped from the Tartar attacking army formation by lead bullets.

Then, with the screams of despair before his death, he fell to the ground with a row of staggered roadblocks.

The Taurus cavalry, who followed closely behind, subconsciously crossed the corpse of the war horse blocking in front of him. Before he could make a five-step distance, more than a thousand lead bullets in the second round were already flying towards them with a whistling sound.

There were hundreds of Tartar cavalry, who fell to the ground with screams...

When the musketeers of three or four thousand people shot a round of lead bullets one after another, no less than three hundred war horses had fallen on the charge road, which was only ten steps long...

The corpses of these war horses are intertwined together, forming an obstacle area where war horses cannot cross through jumping.

In this case, if the Tartar cavalry wants to cross this obstacle area that may trip over a war horse at any time, besides taking a detour, there is only the possibility of further slowing down.

On the battlefield where bullets are flying everywhere, changing the direction of the charge can definitely be regarded as a taboo for cavalry charges.

Therefore, the Tartar cavalry that rushed towards the Tiger and Leopard Army subconsciously chose to slow down their charges and continue to charge forward.

However, flintlock guns are not artillery.

The time it takes for the artillery to shoot one round of shells, and the skilled musketeer shoots two rounds of lead shells, absolutely no problem.

In addition, there is also a three-stage shooting of the musket. The sound of the blasting bean-like musket shooting is no longer ringing, but dense, constantly ringing.

The iron cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty, which has always been unstoppable, was as if he had punched a cotton ball in front of the dense lead bullets shot by the Tiger and Leopard Army, without any power.

Not only that, their losses became increasingly greater and greater as the crazy harvest of lead bullets...

The closer you are to the musket array, the greater the lethality of lead bullets, and the losses of the Tartars will become greater and greater.

The losses are too great, and there are more corpses lying on the ground.
