As the deafening volley of bird cannons sounded, the two hundred bird cannon players in the first row behind the thorn chariot at the front of the vehicle formation opened fire together. The formation of these two hundred bird cannon players was relatively long.
, some were shooting at the Qing troops from both sides. Fiery red firelights sounded with a sound like fried beans, and thick white smoke rose into the air at the same time.
As the sound of cannons sounded, the Qing soldiers rushing in front immediately fell to pieces. Although they had intentionally spread the distance between each other under the officer's order when charging, the idea of cold weapons was still in their minds.
Deep-rooted, even if they dispersed, some soldiers still stayed together intentionally or unintentionally. And strictly speaking, this was the first time the Qing infantry encountered such an organized volley, so the casualties they suffered were inevitable.
.
The impact of this volley on the Qing soldiers was also shocking. The archers wearing light armor without shields, as well as the Qing soldiers and auxiliary soldiers who did not even have armor, had clouds of blood mist coming out of them almost at the same time.
The Qing soldiers who were shot all let out shrill screams and rolled to the ground in pain. It is worth mentioning that the penetrating power of these round-tipped lead bullets after being fired is naturally much inferior to the sharp-tipped bullets of later generations, but they are invading.
The destructive power behind the human body is therefore even greater. It would be better if the Qing soldiers who were hit by lead bullets died on the spot. Those Qing soldiers who were hit in the chest and abdomen had their internal organs destroyed at the moment they were shot.
All his internal organs were smashed by a lead bullet the size of his little finger. Even if a god came, it would be difficult to save him from such injuries.
As for the dead soldier vests who were at the front and leading the charge, wearing double-layer heavy armor and holding heavy shields, more than ten people were knocked to the ground. They were at the front, and naturally there were more people targeting them.
, the saying that the gun shot the first bird is not for nothing. Although the Lingshan Guard's bird gun failed to penetrate their double-layered heavy armor and thick hardwood shield at the same time at a distance of sixty steps, the powerful impact of the projectile was caused by
They endured it all. As long as the lead bullets hit them, all the kinetic energy after the lead was ejected from the chamber was naturally borne by their bodies. It was the hands of more than a dozen unlucky vests who were penetrated by lead bullets.
After the wood escaped, the lead bullets still hit their heavy armor with kinetic energy. Although these projectiles did not penetrate the double-layer heavy armor they wore, the kinetic energy of the projectiles was still transmitted into their bodies through the heavy armor, causing
All the bones and internal organs in their bodies were shattered. These Qing soldiers who were unlucky enough to have their armor penetrated vomited blood and fell to their knees one by one. The huge pain made them unable to help but moan loudly.
Even if a person is immortal, he has lost his fighting power.
Pang Gang showed no mercy to the beaten dead or injured Qing soldiers in front of him. He expressionlessly gave the order to continue firing. The gunners in the first row stood up and retreated after firing. The second row had already been waiting.
The impatient gunners immediately took action.
"Bang bang bang..."
Immediately after the roar of the second row, Saharian, who was standing behind and advancing, saw with his own eyes a Qing army officer wearing three layers of heavy armor, who looked like he was dressed like a Bo Shiku, covering his right hand.
On the side of his chest, blood continued to gush out from between his fingers. The weapon in his right hand had disappeared. He was still holding a heavy shield in his left hand. After being shot, Depo Shiku could still hold on and not fall.
He stumbled back, his face full of confusion, as if he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.
The shooting of the Ming army seemed to be endless, and another burst of gunfire rang out. Fende Bashiku who was walking back was hit by several more bullets in the back. There was no shield to resist this Fende Bashiku.
The situation was even worse. After being hit in the back, he fell to the ground without even making a groan. His body lying on the ground was twitching, and blood flowed all over the floor along with the armor.
Sahalian saw it really. This fallen officer was one of his only two Bashikus and his most capable assistant. Now he couldn't even get in front of the Ming army.
He fell in front of the formation.
The Qing soldiers who originally rushed towards the Ming army's position like a tide were scattered instantly as if they had hit a hard rock. The heavy losses caused even Amul, who had been watching the battle behind, to be stunned. He had also heard that
Saharian had said that this Ming army's firearms were powerful, but he had always scorned it. He always thought it was a lie made up by Saharian to evade his own guilt. But when he saw the scene of the Ming army's volley,
He had a premonition that he had made a big mistake. Perhaps he should not have allowed Saha to attack so rashly with two bulls in a row.
Although Amul was cruel, he was not a reckless man who could only rush forward. He knew when he saw that the Ming army could fire three rounds of volleys in just an instant, inflicting heavy casualties on the charging dead soldiers.
Saharian's two Niulu men and horses alone could not break through this Ming army's vehicle formation.
"Quickly, order Saharian to retreat!"
"Sir, we can no longer retreat. Now Saharian has become entangled with the Ming army and cannot retreat."
After Amul looked over, he discovered that although the team led by Saharian had lost more than a hundred soldiers in the three rounds of firearms fire, there were still nearly two hundred soldiers who rushed into the Ming army's vehicle formation thirty steps away.
Within a short distance, it seemed that as long as they worked harder, they could rush into the Ming army's vehicle formation. If they retreated at this time, it would be equivalent to giving their back to the Ming army for them to shoot.
The Qing army lived up to its reputation as brutal. Although they lost more than a hundred people, nearly two hundred Qing soldiers still rushed to a distance of thirty steps from the car formation. Dozens of archers who had been following the vests had already
He opened the long bow and folded the arrowheads out. Dozens of arrowheads quickly fell behind the car array. It must be said that the Qing soldiers were very skillful in shooting arrows. In this shower of arrows, there were more than ten gunmen.
He was shot and fell to the ground. The arrow in his hand was either on his face or on his neck. Moreover, the Qing soldiers specially soaked their arrowheads with horse dung. After being hit by their arrowheads, infection could easily occur. There are no antibiotics here.
In the age of anti-inflammatory drugs, infection often meant death.
The bows and arrows of the Qing soldiers were as vicious and accurate as the rumors, full of force, and they always hit people in the face and eyes. Although everyone in Pang Gang's team was wearing armor, the first wave of arrows fired by the Qing soldiers still caused dozens of injuries.
Many casualties.
Li Yuan, who had been standing next to the gunners and commanding, was hit by an arrowhead on his helmet. Fortunately, the arrowhead only passed through his hair, knocking the helmet to the ground and leaving him with a bun.
Li Yuan was very frightened.
Li Yuan was so shocked that he couldn't pick up the helmet scattered on the ground and shouted loudly, "Fourth row, shoot!"
The deafening sound of the fire made the gunners' ears ring continuously, and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke emitted when shooting the gun also made them shoot and puff. Lines of fire appeared from time to time in front of their eyes,
This was indeed frightening. Fortunately, the Lumi gun equipped by Pang Gang was well-made and there was no danger of exploding the barrel, which somewhat comforted them.
The Qing archers who had just finished shooting the first round of arrows had not had time to fire the second round. The muskets in front spurted out fire again. The Qing soldiers who had just put the arrowheads on their bows screamed and fell to the ground one by one.
On the ground, only a few of the dozens of archers shot their bows and arrows, and the rest all covered their chests or fell to the ground without saying a word.
What was even worse was the vests rushing at the front. When they waved the heavy shields in their hands and rushed forward desperately, hot lead bullets were already flying towards them. Within thirty steps, no matter what they were wearing,
Two or three layers of heavy armor or even a heavy shield cannot stop the lead bullets fired by Rumi's gun.
After penetrating layers of heavy armor, the lead bullets that came into contact with their bodies had long lost their original shape. All kinds of strange-shaped lead bullets were rolling around in their bodies.
When the heavy armor of the cavalry soldiers was shot, people would definitely find that their bodies had holes as big as half a fist. Such wounds would be fatal to anyone.
Because the distance was so close, the gunners almost didn't need to aim. They could just pull the trigger in front and hit someone. In this round of shooting, more than a hundred Qing soldiers screamed and fell to the ground.
At this time, Pang Gang, who was standing in the center of the circular formation, saw that the remaining Qing troops of less than a hundred people had rushed to the front of the Thorn Chariot. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties to the gunmen, he faced the flag bearer beside him.
Another order was given.
Following the order issued by the flag-bearer, the gunners in the front row immediately retreated behind the pikemen, and now they became the pikemen and stood in the front row.
The Qing soldiers who had rushed to the thorn chariot originally wanted to push the thorn chariot aside so that the cavalry behind could rush in. Unexpectedly, these thorn chariots had been connected in series by the Ming army with iron chains. Now those Qing soldiers
They didn't dare to untie the chains so arrogantly. They knew very well that as long as they dared to stay in place for a moment longer, the sound of the muskets that had just disappeared would start again.
At this time, Dazhuang had already commanded the spearmen to greet the Qing soldiers who rushed into the car formation. Dazhuang, holding a spear, shouted loudly: "Soldiers, follow me to kill the thieves!"
Da Zhuang took the lead and rushed out. The flag bearer beside him waved the flag, and two guards followed closely beside him.
There were a full two hundred spearmen in the first row who rushed forward after Da Zhuang. The two sides soon collided with each other. The first one they faced was the one who rushed to the front wearing two layers of heavy armor. Most of them held heavy shields and swords.
Death Soldier Vest.
"kill!"
The two sides collided and immediately became a massacre.
From the beginning of the battle, it was extremely cruel, and screams from both sides could be heard from time to time on the battlefield.
Da Zhuang commanded his three-person escort team to confront a horse-armored soldier. Da Zhuang was surprised as soon as the two parties came into contact with the horse-armored soldier...
