As the Korean musketeers lined up in line, the third wave of offensive of the Tartars began. The artillery of the Dengzhou Army in Jiaozhou had cooled down and was shouting and pushed it to the front of the formation to prepare for shooting.

The musketeers all loaded their ammunition and walked to the forefront of the army formation. The slightly scattered spear platoon began to become strict under the supervision of non-commissioned officers and officers.

Zhao Neng, sitting on the horse, looked around. The Dengzhou army had already done everything they should have done meticulously. At this time, Li Meng was a little calmer. After the opponent suffered a setback from two attacks, he started his third attack. I wonder if the first two times were an illusion or bait.

The attack and defense methods on my side were almost used in the previous two enemy attacks, but the enemy didn't know what was useless.

The attack according to the attack of the Ming army on the opposite side, the task assigned by Abatai to Li Rui was very simple. Only after the Han army commander Li Rui did it, did he realize the difficulties.

Let’s first talk about the musket soldiers maintaining a nearly straight array and keeping aligned as they move. The Korean musket soldiers are in front, and the infantry of the Han Eight Banners and Sanshun Kings are behind. When they start dispatching, they are still neat. After a few steps, they will immediately become a mess.

The Korean musket soldiers did not have the same spirit as the Ming musket soldiers. They were at the forefront of the team, and they were obviously a death-death activity, and no one wanted to be in front of them, as meat shields and cannon fodder.

But the Ming army on the opposite side can do it, why can't you Korean musket soldiers? Li Rui, who seemed to be a slave in front of Abatai, was also very kind to the North Korean commander Li Rui, who has turned against him now.

Seeing the Korean musket soldiers who had walked a few steps, they immediately ordered the infantrymen of the Eight Banners of Han and Sanshun King to capture the dozen or so Korean musket soldiers who retreated to the end. They pressed them to the ground directly in front of the formation. For a moment, the entire formation stopped, and all the Korean musket soldiers looked at the back in an uproar.

The commanders of the musket soldiers all went to Li Rui to argue and asked the other party to keep people under the sword. Li Rui did not meet with them who had made the clear decision at all, and directly ordered the beheading.

Here, the knife fell, and more than a dozen heads fell to the ground, spraying blood all over the ground. It immediately shocked the musket soldiers in front of them. The method of killing people in front of the formation has always been good.

Because of the particularity of the firearms, the Korean musket soldiers have always had a great status in the Tartar army. The Koreans were famous villains and were successful. They were trembling with the Han people and consciously lowered themselves. However, after being valued by the Qing Dynasty, they began to be arrogant and began to march from Jielingkou, and they marched along the way and insulted and despised the Han soldiers. There were really a lot of them.

If it weren't for the Eight Manchu and Mongolian Banners above, the two armies would have had a fight and agitated. Of course, the Han soldiers would not let go of such a situation.

The dozen unlucky people who were regarded as deserters and were killed at present, and although everyone was shocked by the Korean musketeers, the Han soldiers were all very happy.

Originally, the soldiers holding firearms and the soldiers holding cold weapons should be covering each other and relying on each other, so that they can exert 100% combat power on the battlefield, and even achieve a good effect of one plus one greater than two. But in front of them, the musket soldiers were trembling in front, and the Han soldiers behind the musket soldiers were fierce and evil. This is not a match at all. The Han soldiers were the role of a supervising team at this time.

Even if the trouble broke out here, General Abatai ignored him at all. Instead, he kept sending envoys to urge him, almost like supporting Li Rui, the leader.

Seeing all this, the Korean soldiers finally accepted their fate and lined up in a row and slowly moved forward. The advance of the infantry army seemed like a signal. The general, the leader of the governor, and the leader of the governor shouted in unison, and the left-wing Mongolian cavalry, who had been unsuccessful, began to slowly disperse.

The originally dense formation began to become sparse. These Mongolian cavalry began to rush towards the right wing of the Dengzhou infantry phalanx at the safe distance as possible. The left wing of the Qing army was the right wing of the Dengzhou army. This was a straight line, and the ground was at an outward diagonal line.

The Dengzhou Army also had cavalry, but the number was small, with only about two thousand cavalry. Except for the five hundred cavalry that guarded Zhao Neng, the other cavalry were arranged in the upper right corner of the formation, preparing to launch a decisive attack, which is the so-called decisive force invested in combat.

This method is indeed a standard practice in the Caodian and Jinan Military Discussion Booklets, but it has no meaning when used in the current battle.

These Mongolian light cavalry scattered attacks avoided the shooting range of the musketeers in Jiaozhou Camp from afar, but the more than 1,000 Dengzhou horses could not attack at this time. Such cavalry was thrown into the opponent's tens of thousands of horses, just like a drop of water in the river, and had no effect.

The phalanx of the Dengzhou Army was also a rather embarrassing situation at this time. In order to maintain the strict formation, the infantry could not go out to pursue it at all. Of course, they did not have the mobility to intercept the Mongolian light cavalry that was constantly gushing out.

At this time, the formation formed by the Korean musketeers and Han infantry on the front of the Dengzhou Army was slowly moving forward. The Mongolian cavalry outside the range of the musketeers could not attack the Dengzhou Army at present, and the slowly approaching infantry queue in front was the most direct response.

"Beat the sergeant drum!"

Zhao Neng immediately issued an order, and the messenger immediately passed the order to the queues of each battalion. The drum sound began to sound, and more than 20 teams began to slowly move towards the center.

The Dengzhou Army's large team began to shrink. However, when the enemy was approaching in several directions, the Shandong infantry could actually make such tactical actions.

The distance between the camp became smaller, making the entire formation more solid, more stable, more solid and more stable. This is the tactical arrangement of Jiaozhou Camp. However, in the eyes of the Tartar relatives who were watching the formation over there, it was incredible that they could still make such actions calmly during the war.

There was not one Jurchen general who had a twitching corner of his eyes. After the opponent's formation was reduced, his ability to fight against the cavalry was stronger, but the general Abatai was ordered to be more calm.

The Mongolian cavalry on the left wing lined up in a very scattered formation and spread out to move forward. The generals of the Jiaozhou camp finally discovered that the tactical action of the Mongolian cavalry on the left wing of the Tartars was not for attack, at least for attack now, but for the intensive formation to be evacuated as much as possible.

Almost two-thirds of the Mongolian light cavalry on the left wing were evacuated, and gradually they surrounded the entire Jiaozhou camp's formation. The musketeers on the outer edge were extremely nervous. They set up the musketeers in their hands and faced the cavalry cruising outside. However, these Mongolian cavalry screamed and shouted at the horse, doing their best to provoke, but they just didn't attack this range.

Most of the Dengzhou army are new recruits. The advantage of Jiaozhou infantry is that the awkward performance of the new recruits can be compensated by discipline and advanced tactics. However, the shortcomings of psychological quality are exposed at this time. Many of the musketeers in the most extended range cannot help but open fire, but the opponent is outside the range and cannot even kill birds.

Some soldiers were shocked by the formation of large cavalry outside. The fuse hanging on the bird's beak was extinguished. Although the fuse was flame-resistant, it still had to blow air and keep burning. In this case, it was often impossible to detect until the shooting was done.

Such clumsy actions have to reload ammunition and replace the fuse in a hurry. The firearm commander who was supervising the battle behind them was so angry that he smashed the waist knife with a scabbard.

At this time, the Dengzhou military formation seemed to be as motionless as a mountain, but there was something wrong with all the details.

The ten artillery pieces had been pushed back to the front of the array, and the artillery leader shouted loudly in front of the artillery:

"Press up, hold on, wait until the Tartars enter the range before firing. The shooting is slower. It's not time for supper yet, so there's no need for us to burn the barrels and cook!!"

There is such a rare humor in the Jiaozhou camp army. The artillery team and the surrounding musket soldiers burst into laughter. Zhao Neng picked the corner of his mouth immediately, but the artillery team leader almost affected the overall situation of the entire battle because of a mistake. He felt a little guilty in his heart. The joke just now meant that he would not make a mistake again.

Seeing Zhao Neng's statement, the commander of the artillery team was much more determined. Although the Korean musketeers and Han infantry in front of him were slow and chaotic, they still entered the range.

Such a dense array is simply a target that comes to the door. Of course, the Dengzhou Army's artillery team would not let it go. "Fire!!" After the loud order, the artillery fired again.

Each cannon was fired, causing enough damage to the infantry ranks coming from the front. At this time, it was not yet within the range of the musket soldiers. The Korean soldiers holding heavy muskets could not start charging at such a long distance. They were howling and terrified and shot at the shells.

Because whether they retreat or run to both sides, they will definitely be killed by the so-called "friendly forces". If they want to survive, they can only rush to the front.

A brigade of thousands of people walked towards Jiaozhou Camp regardless of the bombardment of artillery fire. This momentum was even more terrifying than the chariot line just now. The musket soldiers and spear arrays in front were all on guard and ready to fight.

The eight banners of the right wing, which had not been moved, began to change in the original formation, and turned into a cavalry formation, in a row, in a very orderly manner.

But at this time, the attention of the Dengzhou army was attracted by the Mongolian cavalry that was about to encircle the Dengzhou army on three sides, as well as the Han army and Korean infantry arrays in front of them. The Dengzhou army now did not ignore the strongest Manchu Eight Banners troops on the right wing, but had no time to take care of them.
