Every charging Qing cavalryman howled like a beast. They held their weapons flat and high, kicking and beating their horses regardless of whether the horses would be scrapped after the war.

If we make a ranking list of weapons at this time and choose the weapon that frightened the Qing army the most, the top one would undoubtedly be firearms. The soldiers of the Qing army were not very afraid of direct combat, but firearms could not stop them from far away.

It can be fired from a distance, causing people to die in agony without realizing it. This makes the Qing soldiers simply intolerable.

But now, the Ming army on the opposite side has so many artillery pieces, and there are so many gunmen arrayed in front of the formation, so these Qing soldiers rushing into the formation already know that they will soon face a hail of bullets, so they

I have to speed up, speed up, and speed up again, hoping to rush through this death zone as soon as possible.

But the artillery of the Runing Army first calmed these fanatical minds. More than a dozen artillery shells flew into the cavalry array, knocking down six or seventy cavalry at once. The dense cavalry array of the Qing Army can indeed increase the collision force, but it is also

Increased the lethality of artillery shells.

However, the Qing army's rolling torrent immediately submerged the men and horses who fell on the ground, and the cavalry formed a tight formation again, gradually filling up the gap created by the cannonballs.

This time the Runing Army fired less artillery than last time. Because the front of the Qing Army's cavalry array was very wide, one-third of the Runing Army's artillery was loaded with shotgun shells and prepared to attack the Qing Army at close range.

time to exert its power.

Before the Qing army rushed in, the artillery of the Runing army fired two rounds. At this time, the gunmen of the Runing army were arranged in five rows. They were all very calm and kept blowing their match ropes.

, waiting for the order from the firearms commander.

The firearms commander standing between the ranks of gunmen was also extremely calm. He had been estimating the distance. When the Qing cavalry was about 150 steps away, the firearms commander finally shouted:

"Check firearms!"

"First row raised!"

"Five volleys of fire, prepare -!"

…

The orders were passed on one after another, and the gunmen all followed the orders step by step. When they saw the Qing cavalry finally charging into the hundred steps, the firearm commander immediately waved his command knife forward and shouted: "Fire!"

"Boom——!" A cloud of smoke immediately filled the air in front of the Runing Army's square formation.

The Qing cavalry who rushed in the first row knew how powerful the fire cannons were. They all tried their best to hide behind their horses, trying to avoid the fire cannons. However, the heavy fire cannons of the Runing Army were very powerful, and they were immediately let down.

The Qing army saw what firearms were.

The Qing cavalry who rushed at the front felt as if they had been hit hard by a sledgehammer. The ones that hit the people were relatively good, and at most they were dead. But the ones that hit the horses made them lose control. Those horses that were hit were all

They were running around and jumping around, causing chaos in the array.

The horses that were shot either stood up in pain or bent forward and knelt down. However, the inertia of the horse's running was so great that when the horse made such an action, it would often cause the horse and the person to fall to the ground. But people in this situation

In the process, he was beaten to a bloody pulp. But before he had time to get up, he was trampled by the iron hooves behind him and turned into a pulp.

After the first row of firecrackers finished shooting, the firecrackers in the front row immediately gave way to the left and ran to the back along the passage between the two rows of firecrackers. The second row of firecrackers fired again. Then

The third row, the fourth row...

When the cannons were fired, it seemed like there was a wall, blocking the Qing cavalry at a distance of ninety steps. And on this line, more and more Qing soldiers and horses were lying down.

These corpses were gradually piled up, blocking the subsequent Qing cavalry charge.

Abatai, who was watching the battle from the rear, had his eyelids twitching. He never expected to face such fierce firepower. Seeing the white-armored soldiers of the Qing army in front of him rushing to the ground and falling to the ground, Abatai felt a little painful.

They are all the elites of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty!

But just when Abate was about to open his mouth to ask the Qing army to stop charging, the sound of gunfire in the Runing army's array suddenly stopped. Abata was immediately ecstatic, and he did not care whether his cry would be heard by those in front.

The Qing army heard this and shouted to the front: "Minggu can only shoot once. Take advantage of this opportunity to rush forward!"

But before he finished speaking, as if he was about to slap Abatai in the face, the sound of gunfire from the Runing Army rang out again.

It turned out that this was a pause after the Runing Army's gunners finished five rounds of firing, but Abatai misunderstood that he would no longer fire. But this misunderstanding made Abatai become dumbfounded, and the delay was in vain.

An order to stop the Qing troops from rushing into formation.

However, taking advantage of the pause in the Runing army's rounds of firing, the Qing army rushed in to the seventy paces. But as the sound of gunfire sounded again, another wall of death was formed at the seventy paces. And the front row of the soldiers rushed into the formation.

The white-armored soldiers of the Qing army were indeed brave. After suffering such huge casualties, they still charged forward one after another.

"Hurry up and make them stop!" Abatai finally came to his senses. By this time, the Runing Army's gunfire had fired four groups of twenty rounds. The corpses everywhere had caused the Qing army to rush into the formation.

Split. Some who have lost their minds are still rushing forward; while other parts are frightened, so they rein in the reins and dare not move forward any further.

At this time, the Runing Army also ended its round of firing. After all, the Qing cavalry array was too wide, and they formed an arc and rushed toward the middle. The Qing cavalry in the front had basically been cleared, but the Qing cavalry on both sides

, but there are always some fish that slip through the net. Therefore, the gunmen ran behind the phalanx, and the phalanx also bloomed with guns, preparing to welcome the collision of the Qing army.

So the remaining Qing cavalry rushed towards the phalanx, shouting, "Bang, bang, bang—!" There was a dull sound of artillery fire, and the artillery shot out canisters, and then "swish, swish—!", and a swarm of bees on the chariot also

Launch started.

The remaining Qing army cavalry fell to the ground one after another. Under continuous shooting, only a dozen cavalrymen could rush to the front of the Runing army formation. Facing the forest of guns erected in front of the square formation, these dozen cavalrymen

The Qing soldiers were already going crazy. They clamped the horse's belly tightly and drove the spurs on the heels of their riding boots into the horse's belly. As soon as the horses felt pain, they all ran towards the forest of guns.

However, this kind of collision in twos and threes could not shake the phalanx at all. After a few "Puff!" sounds, the dozen or so cavalry soldiers and their horses were all hung up on the forest of guns, while the Runing army's phalanx was only slightly shaken.

The ground shook a few times.

There was silence in the Qing army's formation. After just one charge, seven or eight hundred riders did not return. The corpses of a dozen or so riders and horses hanging in front of the Runing army's formation seemed to be mocking.
