The cavalrymen of the two red flags became frightened when they saw the Confederate spear phalanx.
They know that this kind of spear phalanx cannot attack at all, and even the matchlocks in it cannot be shot in crossfire. The best way for the opponent with the three-eyed gun is to push the shield cart, hide behind and launch arrows to approach, and then use the shield to approach.
The cars directly crowded into the phalanx.
But there is no shield car now!
All the shield vehicles were lost last time.
There was no other choice but to use their usual tactics of running, riding and shooting.
The Jiannu cavalry galloped, creating a lot of dust as they ran, and also moved at high speeds to shoot arrows, making it difficult for the Ming army's gunners to aim.
This tactic is a common trick in the grasslands and is said to pose a great threat to the infantry.
But what the Ming army was least afraid of was the tactics of the Mongolian grasslands~
Perhaps an opponent like Jiannu, who was strong, had a high proportion of heavy armor, and was keen on foot warfare in the mountains, could be more restrained by the Ming army. However, the Mongolian grassland tactics would be completely defeated by the Ming army.
All the veterans of Jiubian fought against Mongolia. Today's Southern Army has already integrated You Shilu, Zhao Shujiao and other soldiers from Jiubian. They have practiced tactics against Mongolia countless times.
"No wasteful fighting!"
"A gunman fires a volley, and you are not allowed to fire the gun privately!"
Each commander conveys the order accurately, and finally to each commander and corps commander, strictly restraining his subordinates to execute the order.
Even if individual cavalrymen came as close as 50 steps, the Ming army's gunners followed the orders and did not fire their guns privately.
Veterans of many battles are just different.
If ordinary recruits are trained, even if they are trained to this level, their lack of actual combat experience is likely to cause unexpected mistakes due to huge pressure and ever-changing battlefield situations.
However, this Ming Dynasty's strongest veteran of many battles will not.
We should follow the order and not fight back, so no one will violate the order and fire weapons privately.
When the galloping cavalry formed a little more concentration and slowed down a little, the Ming army's commander decisively ordered a volley of fire.
"Bang bang bang!"
When a matchlock is fired alone, the killing effect is average due to problems with hit rate and reloading speed, but salvo shooting is different.
A row of fifty men's guns passed by, and ten of Jiannu's horsemen were shot up and down.
The Jiannu in front was shot and fell from his horse, but those behind did not dare to step forward. So the scene became that Jiannu cavalry was galloping around the Ming army formation from a distance, throwing a few arrows from a distance, and did not dare to get closer than a hundred steps.
, and couldn’t kill a few people at all.
How can Jian Nu, a galloping horseman and archer, compete with the phalanx to defeat him?
Riding horses and galloping and drawing bows and arrows consume too much physical strength, but the Ming army's infantry phalanx suffered little loss.
Jiannu's flanking offensive was completely dismantled, and as time passed, the flanking Ming army could launch an offensive at any time, but Jiannu's cavalry was unable to fight, and they had no physical strength to hold them back.
The Ming army on the flank gradually gained the upper hand.
On the front, it was Jiannu who had the advantage.
For the Tiger Crouching Cannon, Folang Machine had a lot of ammunition stored in advance, but because the cannon barrel was hot, it still had to reduce the firing frequency.
Jiannu's archers gradually approached to a distance of 50 paces.
Although the heavy infantry of Wu Jing camp could not be shot at this distance, the dense arrows lost pressure and made the Youyang soldiers unable to raise their heads.
The situation in Wu Jing camp is also not good.
They are unable to defeat four people with two fists, and are at a disadvantage in numbers.
In addition, Jiannu and other dead soldiers practiced wrestling and hand-to-hand combat every day. When they encountered Wu Jingying, they didn't start a fight at all. Instead, they just ran up to him, hugged him and started to fight.
The savage Jurchens are even more savage and primitive. They can directly hold people down and then bite them with their teeth.
They bite people's throats, ears, and noses, and some bloodthirsty guys even hug people and eat them alive.
This is the hunting method of brown bears in the mountains and forests of Northeast China. Brown bears are huge and sometimes capture large prey such as deer or wild boars. They just hold down and start to eat the prey alive.
Now this group of savage Jurchens are similar to brown bears. They simply hugged the soldiers of Wu Jingying and bit them directly when they found a gap.
The scene was extremely bloody and brutal.
"I am personally going to attack! Everyone, follow me!"
Chen Ce roared and personally led hundreds of servants and Guangdong veterans to rush forward.
Tong Zhongkui, Qi Jin, and Zhou Dunji also led their servants into the fight. These generals and servants were the last elite melee fighters of the Ming army.
In order to cover the artillery and cool down the cannon as quickly as possible, and in order to allow the matchlocks and three-eyed gunmen to continuously output firepower, they spared no effort in fighting hand-to-hand with the dead soldiers of the Jiannu.
Upon seeing this, Nurhaci personally led the Bagala guards into the fight.
They approached on horseback to within a hundred steps, then quickly dismounted, lowered their heads and walked through the area covered by Ming army fire.
The flash of swords and swords flashed, and the Wu Jing camp and the dead soldiers on the original melee battle line were no longer in formation. Now that the servants and guards have joined, the people in front are hugging each other, and the people behind form a three-person formation, waiting for the opportunity to rush towards
Catching each other and fighting each other.
You come with a sword, and I go with an axe.
The sound of weapons clashing with each other can be heard endlessly; the sound of weapons slicing across armor makes people's hearts beat faster.
The strength of these elite Bagala guards is almost as strong as that of the Ming army. However, because many of them were captured after Saarhu, they have better equipment, better food, and more frequent training in the past year. At this time, their combat power is still among the generals.
Above the servants.
At one time the exchange ratio reached one to two.
What's even more terrible is that Nurhachi was directing the tactics of the guards while fighting.
The ones in front were fighting, and he waved his hand to signal the ones behind to shoot arrows.
Jiannu's tactic of shooting people in the face with ten steps was very terrifying.
Just ten steps away, he directly drew the bow, aimed at the person's face and shot an arrow.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
One arrow after another missed the face of the Ming army servant, half of the arrow missed, and the arrow penetrated from the back of the head. The scene was extremely shocking.
Seeing each of the elite servants fall to the ground and die after being hit by arrows, the morale of the Ming army was greatly affected.
"Fire the gun!"
Zhou Dunji shouted loudly and signaled the matchlock gun. The three-eyed gunman did not care that he was fighting and fired directly at the enemy at close range.
"Bang bang bang!"
The three-eyed gun comes quickly, and the three barrels fire quickly.
After thirty or forty steps, they couldn't penetrate the double-layered armor of Bagala's guards, but they were enough to cause some impact, either injuring their arms or damaging their bows and arrows, temporarily weakening the enemy's ten-step shooting tactic in the face.
But after all, it was a hand-to-hand fight between Jiannu and close-range shooting. The generals were fighting on the front line, and some of them were already injured.
On Jiannu's side, only the Bagala garrison of Zhenghuang Banner participated in the battle, and the garrison of other banners were about to join the fight.
When they all participate in the fight, their numbers will have an absolute advantage, and that will be the time when the Ming army's hand-to-hand combat front collapses.
"Ah! Veteran! Did you hear that?"
"Come on and kill! Don't leave any chance!"
The shouts of the Ming army came from the flank.
The Ming army's spear phalanx actually pushed back the enemy's flanks, and ran directly towards Jiannu's archers with their guns drawn.
These veterans roared angrily and dispersed the enemy archers in the face of missing arrows, saving the front line that was about to be defeated.
