Just like the Battle of Zhenjiang, the cavalry of the Qing army took out their cavalry bows after launching a charge. Facing the infantry, this is the case, especially in such unrestricted terrain.

However, just like in that battle, the cavalry of the Qing army was first shot by the Ming army infantry, but unlike the infant bows used by the Ming army in Fujian, the Ming army war barracks in Jiangsu and Zhejiang had cancelled the configuration and training of this weapon, and the whole range of muskets were only divided into Lumi guns and Turtle Dove-footed guns.

The muskets were pounding, and the lead bullets were swept to the Qing army's cavalry. The muskets needed loading time, so they had no intention of loading in front of the formation. After the shooting was completed, these Ming army shooters immediately returned to the hollow square formation and exposed the long spear like a forest.

The six teams of Qing cavalry were in the hands of Ibai, while the other four teams were further divided into eight cavalry teams and rushed towards the eight battles of the Ming army on the periphery. Among them, the Mongolian Zhengbai Banner divided into Shikubu and the cavalry team rushing towards the guard camp.

Batu means strong in Mongolian. As his name suggests, he is also a strong Mongolian man. As a veteran of the Mongolian Zhengbai Banner for many years, he has participated in many battles and has rich experience. Even in the round of shooting just now, he did not look too afraid.

People around him fell off the horse from time to time, and many war horses were shot out of control due to pain, causing a certain degree of chaos. And few cavalry who fell off the horse could continue to survive, either being shot by muskets or being trampled to death by subsequent war horses after being dropped. However, they could not even see the slight flight trajectory of the projectiles, and they were not as good as arrows as they were brave enough to have the opportunity to move with their bravery. More people chose to pray secretly, but he did not do so. He just rode his horse to accelerate and rushed towards the Ming army's battle formation.

After the Ming army's shooting was completed, Batu clearly saw the musketeers retreating to the battle formation without carving. Unlike the new recruits who had never seen the world, he knew that this was normal, but the scene he saw next still shocked him.

The firearms team retreated into the hollow square formation. The Ming army's spearmen held the gun bar with both hands, stepped on the tail end under their feet, and pointed the spear head at the tip. The entire battle formation immediately turned into a frightened hedgehog. Although the posture was a bit strange, it was extremely normal. It was inevitable to face the cavalry spearmen to cover the formation, but the light reflected by the iron armor almost blinded his eyes.

The Ming army spearman in front of him was not like the musketeer who just now wore half-body armor without sleeves and a hat helmet, all with heavy armor, iron boots, iron gloves, iron helmets, and even an iron-faced armor with ghost patterns, which could be said to be armed to the teeth.

The opponent in front of him is no longer as simple as a spear forest, but like a steel jungle, Batu's heart jumped up in fear.

After entering the distance, he subconsciously bent his bow and arrows, and the arrow shot out from the rushing war horse. His riding shooting is famous in Niulu, and passing through Yang hundreds of steps is just like a reverse palm pattern. But when the arrow flew out, he clearly saw that the arrow flew out cleanly after hitting the chest of the Ming army soldier.

"Damn it, the thickness of this armor leaf must be thicker than my body. It's impossible to shoot through a bow."

Even so, like other cavalrymen, he did not miss a single second during this charge, and seized all the time to shoot the rain of arrows all over the sky at the battle formation of the Ming army. However, the waves of arrows fell, but they could still stir up some water splashes as raindrops fell, and had no effect in front of the Ming army's iron armor.

The war horse ran rapidly and shot the arrow. After Batu stopped seeing the shooting results, he controlled the war horse not far from the Ming army standing in front of the Ming army.

Riding is a necessary survival skill for every Mongolian man. Although he is the Eight Banners Army, he is also a Mongolian. His innate riding skills allow him to easily control the war horse under his crotch and complete the turning movement, avoiding the tragedy of directly hitting the spear forest. But at this moment, the familiar sound of fire from the fire of the fire gun sounded again.

A "bang" sounded, and the smoke from the gunfire rose up behind the long spear. Almost at the same time, the Qing army's cavalry was neighing again.

When the musketeer finishes shooting, he must immediately exchange positions with the robes of the latter, and then start loading immediately. The shooting results are not allowed to be observed, because Chen Wen, who wrote this exercise, believes that the reloading speed is slow, the steps are many, and it is relatively complicated. If the musketeer spends his already tense time observing the shooting results, it will be too wasteful.

According to Caodian, after Huang Chengming finished shooting, he immediately collected his guns like other robes and turned around. Then the next team of musketeers walked forward with muskets in hand, completing the alternation one after another.

As a result of the shooting, he saw the stunning Mongolian cavalry he was aiming at was shot through his head, and red and white were splashing all over the sky. But everyone was shooting together, and he didn't know if it was the result of his shooting. There was no way, this kind of firearm shooting felt like it was luck, and I had this feeling since I was trained in Jiangxi.

The set-up medicine bag was loaded step by step, almost unable to even use his brain, with pure mechanical movements. After half a year of repetitive training, everything seemed to be smooth and smooth. Huang Chengming quickly completed the loading, but after the sound of shooting just now, the Qing cavalry of the brigade had already turned from the front of the formation, leaving them with only the tail of this cavalry team.

"The main army retreats, and the next army comes forward!"

The veterans holding the turtledove-legged gun are called the regular army, while the new soldiers holding the Lumi gun are called the second army, and the rotation is carried out again. Huang Chengming stepped forward again with the Lumi gun in his hand, raised the musket and aimed. Just after that order, he pulled the trigger of the musket in his hand like other robes.

Another "bang" sound of shooting came, but it was already very far away from Batu. The moment he turned in front of the Ming army, gunfire sounded, and most of the people who were shot fell down in response.

The Qing army's cavalry continued to pass by the spears. When Batu looked back, the Ming army's battle formation was still the same, and the scattered dead and wounded soldiers were quickly replaced. Instead, the Qing army left behind many corpses and wounded people in front of the formation, as well as the war horses that had lost their masters, were still calling in vain.

The first round of offense was very poor. In front of the heavy iron armor of the Ming army, the power of the bow was too small, and it was difficult to cause damage if it was not enough to break the armor. On the contrary, although the fire frequency of the Ming army's muskets was not high, they were incredible because of their amazing power. The distance was close, and even their hits were more considerable than normal shooting. So much so that after the Ming army suffered extremely limited casualties, they left hundreds of lives of the Qing army.

The Qing army's cavalry turned in, and the wounded in front of the formation were quickly put out by the Ming army's long-time card player. With such an exchange, the Qing army was afraid that it would shrink back twice.

"Master, the armor of the Ming army is too thick."

Apart from the closest round of shooting, it is basically difficult to cause damage when it is far away, especially the Ming army's all wearing masks, and even the sharpshooters who have been wearing hundreds of steps through Yang feel very uncomfortable. However, after paying such a price, the Ming army's battle formation was not shaken at all. It was obviously a dream to use this to break the formation.

Ibai turned around and looked at Yue Le's direction, and had to shout loudly: "Run again!"

The sound of the conch roar sounded again, and the eight Qing cavalry teams that had just wanted the Ming army to launch an attack rushed towards the Ming army's battle formation again...

Faced with heavy infantry, light cavalry has advantages, but now the Qing army's light cavalry is not only facing heavy infantry, but the mixed formation of infantry plus light infantry, and the advantages immediately become disadvantages. Moreover, the conflict between the troops is also closely related to the training of soldiers, officers' experience, weapons and equipment, and other factors. The Ming army's weapons and equipment have obviously surpassed the Qing army, and the two sides did not fight at the same level, so their all-out warfare no longer works as they did back then.

Yue Le either learned from the weapons and equipment of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and some used tactics. He was either through the mouth of the horse or from other Eight Banners and Green Camp soldiers. He was not ignorant of it, but was not as detailed as what he saw with his own eyes today. Therefore, from the beginning, while the cavalry attacked, the infantry in the Eight Banners he led was slowly advancing - hand-to-hand combat seemed inevitable, so he had to harass the cavalry so that the infantry could be protected from artillery fire and enter hand-to-hand combat more completely.

The infantry of the Manchu and Han Eight Banners slowly moved forward. The Eight Banners of Manchus were the main force of hand-to-hand combat. The musketeers of the Eight Banners of the Han army also followed the team. The artillery could not keep up with the queue and could only delay behind. The auxiliary soldiers who were assigned to help push the cannon carts were all the people in Hangzhou. They had never been trained, and the closer they were to the Ming army, the more dangerous they were, they would naturally be slower. If it weren't for the Eight Banners Army's whip and sharp blades, they would probably not even move.

The Qing army's infantry were still in line, and the second round of cavalry shooting was announced to end. This time, the losses were greater than the last time. Although there were more injuries, it was still so difficult to accept, even more difficult to accept than just now.

The Qing army's cavalry had withdrawn from Ibai's main formation, and the cavalry that attacked the Dongyang Camp and the front camp on the left and right wings also retreated beyond the range of the Ming army.

When shooting, the rate of fire of the cavalry must be due to the musket, which is well known, but the front row of the Ming army and the firearm team are also separated by a certain distance. The Qing army's cavalry went to shoot against the musket through the Ming army's spear forest, which was impossible to succeed. But in a few more rounds, it is estimated that the Qing army's cavalry would be really scared.

The cavalry had informed him of the arrangement of the Ming army, and there was a loophole, but he never dared to confirm it. There was no way, it would be fine if he was an ordinary Ming army general. Chen Wen often defeated strong enemies, and often defeated the more with less. This time, the troops were roughly the same as the Qing army, and there were still flaws. No matter how you look at it, it looked like a trap, clearly waiting for him to jump.

This is not yet confirmed, but his primary task is to protect the Manchu and the Eight Banners of the Han army to enter the hand-to-hand combat smoothly, especially to try to avoid the Ming army's jumping shooting. This is the experience of exchanging blood for the Southeast Jingbian that fled back to Jiangning!

"I'll do it again. This time, I'm leading the team myself, so I have to buy time for the prince."

This time, the cavalry teams that had just launched an attack did not go out. Instead, Ibai led the two thousand cavalry he personally led to pounce on the guards and the second battalion of Shentang in front of the Ming army. The attack direction of the Qing army infantry was these two battalions, and the Ming army on the flank could use cavalry to carry out conquering and making wars.

As the Ming army was getting closer and closer, Yibai had already seen the Ming army's weapons and equipment clearly. Previously, Guan Xiaozhong defeated Zhenjiang, Ma Guozhu's messenger came to ask for help and mentioned that the core elite of the Fujian Ming army was a heavy infantry wearing heavy armor.

Such elite troops, even with Zheng Chenggong's financial resources, only satisfies two or three thousand people. Logically speaking, the tactics of military generals are treasured by themselves. This is the case in Fujian, and Zhejiang should not have them at all, but this Ming army does not have them, and there are more. Looking around, the spearmen and long players in the front row are all the same, and even the firearm team behind them are all half-body armor.

Are these Qing soldiers all from craftsmen?

Otherwise, there would be so many armors? It would be like a rain of armor in Zhejiang!

Ibai's cavalry was still charging. As a senior officer of the Eight Banners Army, he didn't need to take such risks. But in the current situation, the Qing Dynasty's rule in Jiangnan was in danger. If the Han people were overturned, these Han men who were deeply resentful of blood will never care about their masters and slaves. As long as they were Manchus, they would definitely be dead and there was no other possibility!

The cavalry team was getting closer and closer to the Ming army's battle formation. Suddenly, a banging sound came from the smoke suddenly coming out of the opposite side. His crotch shook, and the good horse snatched from Tushetu Khan's tribe in Khalkha Mongolia fell to the ground, and this inertia even threw him out.

Wearing the imperial armor, but the fall still made him feel sweet. The war horses around him bypassed and continued to charge under the leadership of other officers, while his Goshha all turned over and dismounted and guarded him. It was not until he recovered from this force that he helped him to another war horse.

The cavalry and shooting of this round was still the same as before, but Yibai's goal had been achieved. The infantry battle formation led by Yue Le avoided the Ming army's jump shot with the help of the cavalry, and crossed the row of scattered stars. However, the wooden stakes that had not even achieved any interference effect on the Qing cavalry had even rushed up shouting.
Chapter completed!
