"fire!"

With the order of the officer in charge of the Red Cannon Group, the artillery that had been ready to go finally roared for a long time.

Accompanied by a huge roar, a solid shell ejected from the Ming army's formation in the middle of the battlefield. This shell passed a parabola nearly 400 meters long in the sky in the middle of the battlefield and smashed heavily to the ground.

However, because the soil on the lakeside was relatively soft, the shell did not bounce into the air again as expected, forming a jumping effect. Instead, it plunged into the soil. After creating a large crater, it seemed to be broken into pieces, splashing a large mist made of soil.

"It can actually hit so far, not the Red Cannon."

Liu Da, a veteran of the Lunbiao camp, looked over the spearman walking in the front row, squinted his eyes as the solid shell stirred up a burst of soil, and there was no movement. As a soldier who only joined Tian Xiong's army when Huang Degong was stationed in Jiangbei, he quickly became a sharp soldier in the army with his ancestors' sword and shield techniques.

Later, the commander Huang Degong was killed in battle. His general Tian Xiong and another general named Ma Degong tied up Emperor Hongguang who joined Huang Degong and went to join the Qing army. He inexplicably turned into a green camp soldier.

Although he was very uncomfortable with betraying the emperor, the boss always treated him well. Especially after following the Qing army south, he knew that he had not tasted a woman, so he stole a little girl as his wife, which made Liu Da firmly determined to follow him.

Wouldn't you just shave your head? When you keep your hair, you don't see anyone marrying your wife. Now you want to find a woman and just follow the officers to the countryside to grab it. Not to mention the three media and six recruits, you can save money even when you visit the kiln.

Now the woman who stolen has accepted her fate and is honestly taking care of her husband and children at home. If she can cut off a few more heads this time, it is probably not as simple as rewards and the stolen goods. Maybe she can snatch a daughter to be a concubine.

Thinking about the scene where two little ladies were serving themselves together on a bed at home, Liu Da couldn't help but lick his lips. "There is still half a mile away in front of me. When I rush over and chop down all the new recruits, I can go back and live a good life."

On the other side of the battlefield, Wang Yiyao looked at the results of the Red Cannon that he had high hopes for, and looked quite disappointed.

The Red Cannon itself is very accurate, but it must be done with the artillery aiming technology and the operation of the gun group familiar with the gun group. From this cannon, Wang Yi specially arranged the best gunners in the army at that time to form a gun group that specializes in serving this cannon. However, the Ming army of Dalanshan always regarded it as his own flesh and blood, and was afraid of falling when holding it in his hand, and was afraid of melting it in his mouth. In the past two years, the Communist Party of China has not dared to take it out and use it several times. At this moment, it is already considered that the officer in charge of the gun group was careful not to let his subordinates release too much gunpowder. As for the hit, let's take it slowly.

Of course, there is actually another way to improve the hit rate, that is, use special measurement tools, gun gauge, gun ruler, scale plate, and telescope that come with the cannon, which are all used to measure distance.

In this era, the Ming and Qing armies learned from the Portuguese in the use of red artillery artillery. However, during the Dengzhou Rebellion, the group of Portuguese instructors, including Western Laijing, Lu Weiluo, and Fulang Yalanda, were almost all killed by the rebel soldiers led by their student Kong Youde. Kong Youde, who had cast a man of Qing Dynasty, failed his own skills, and those who did not die in Dengzhou were basically punished. Therefore, in this era, the artillery of both sides of the Ming and Qing dynasties relied on experience to aim.

In this way, Wu Zhenchao, who had previously in charge of firearms in the Qing army, was relatively cheaper than the current Han Eight Banners. The artillery groups of other types of artillery in Dalanshan were far more accurate than the artillery groups of this red cannon because of the more operational times.

"There is no way to hit it without shooting. You should be able to hit it with the next shot."

The Qing army was still moving forward, and the artillery just now did not have any impact on the Qing army. Even though a lot of the soil hit the Qing army in the middle, it did not affect their progress. Instead, the Ming army was startled by the loud noise behind them, especially those friendly troops who were arranged to fight in the middle and the two battalions of the Central Battalions before cooperating.

Wang Yi glanced at the Red Cannon's gun crew, and seemed to be still in the process of restoration, while the Qing army had already entered the range of the Fran machine cannon.

“Wait a little longer.”

The direction of the shot just now was correct. The main reason was that the gunpowder was released too little and the thrust generated by combustion was insufficient, which led to insufficient range. Compared with the gun crew of the red cannon, this reason seemed to have begun to affect his judgment.

The Qing army was still keeping in line and moving forward slowly. The shot just now made Tian Xiong, who was riding a horse under the Central Army, feel a little amused and crying.

"Why are there any red cannons? This thing can be taken out for field battles. It's really a civil servant who is leading the army." This idea made him regret not sending out some rangers in advance to trick the opponent's firearms into firing in advance, otherwise the casualties would be smaller.

Forget it, that's it.

"Continue to move forward and enter range and the archer suppresses it."

At this moment, the Fran machine cannons on the Ming army also roared together. Compared with the previous red cannon, the number of exercises may be more frequent, so the landing point of the shells was closer to the formation of the Qing army.

After washing his face with the splashed soil, Liu Da immediately held up the shield in his hand. As a veteran who had been in the army for many years, he knew very well that the Fran machine cannon was a mother-of-child gun, so the firing rate was very fast, but because it was a mother-of-child gun, the range was greatly restricted. Although he was not clear about the reasons for weakening the range of this kind of artillery, the experience he had gained on the battlefield over the years told him that once the firing of the Fran machine cannon was completed, he would face the suppressed shooting of the opponent's archers, and this was not far from real hand-to-hand combat.

Suddenly, a Fran machine cannon shell passed a perfect parabola in the sky and directly hit the soldier on the right side of Liu Da. With just a "bomb", the man as strong as a cow was completely smashed to the ground by this cheap solid shell, leaving a crater that was much smaller than the shell of the Red Barbarian cannon just now.

Liu Da looked at it tremblingly. Although the man was wearing double armor, he was still lying in the bullet crater at this moment, as if his whole body was covered with bones and softened into a ball. On his chest, a huge bullet hole seemed to be the hole illuminated by the spell at the ending of "God of Cookery". However, the only difference was that the hole in front of Liu Da was not only emitting burnt and smelly smoke, but also sizzling blood.

"Amitabha, Amitabha, if you didn't shoot me, you wouldn't shoot me again. Thank you, the King of Hell, thank you, the King of Hell."

Even though he didn't understand what probability science was, based on his experience, Liu Da was still able to comfort himself in his heart. At this moment, his steps were still maintaining his original speed, as if he was not affected at all by the sudden moment.

Although fear still surrounds him, as a veteran who has been in the army for many years, he knows very well that if he leaves the queue and moves forward quickly, he will become the target of the opponent's archers, but if he stops, he will definitely be killed by the supervising officer.

However, not everyone understood this principle. The new recruit behind the unlucky soldier who was smashed into meat pie by shells stopped immediately after being photographed as a clay figure by the aroused mud.

After a few breaths, the recruit broke free from the shock far beyond his psychological tolerance and immediately fell into greater fear. He turned around and ran backward like crazy, as if he could get rid of the nightmare in front of him. And he did do this, because the officer who was supervising the battle behind the formation slashed his neck with a knife. After the body and head separated, fear also left his body forever with the splashing blood.

"Continue to move forward, if you dare to stop, you will end up!"

The FirstBlood supervising officer who had just obtained the entire army from the deserter who had been disturbed by fear did not care about the blood on the knife and immediately added a note to what he had just done. The other recruits around him who stopped because of fear and had turned around to escape had to drag their weak legs and continue to move towards the Ming army after seeing this scene in front of him.

"good!"

After the full reset, clearing the chamber, and loading, the red cannons that were standing behind the middle lane formation like a general roared again.

Compared with the last time, the effect this time was obviously much stronger. A shell flew from behind the formation to mid-air, then drew an arc from mid-air and then fell directly into the Qing army's formation. However, this gun had at least three or four Qing soldiers killed directly, and the soldiers around them were also screaming and lying on the ground after being baptized by the soil and stones.

The record looks pretty good, but that's it. Because the Qing army had already pounced on it after resetting again, clearing the chamber and loading, and who could guarantee that after the angle was re-adjusted, he would definitely hit the Qing army, not his own soldiers?

On the Ming army, all four sub-guns of Fran machine guns had been fired. Due to the different calibers, the range of the shells fired were also different. After hitting a front row Qing army, the best one took away one of the leg of the soldier behind him and one of the left foot behind him. The poor effect was everywhere...

When the Fran machine cannon was fired to the last three sub-guns, the tiger squat cannon also opened fire. Compared with the Fran machine, this firearm, which Qi Jiguang once highly praised, was obviously better in the hands of the Ming army. After two or three rounds of small-angle flat shooting, the Qing army's soldiers in the front row suffered considerable casualties, and even the speed of advance was paused.

If it were an ordinary army, the officers might still need to continue to coerce and tempt, but for the high-branded battalion under Tian Xiong, they were mostly veterans, and they almost didn't need any reminders from the officers to know that there was no need to stop at this moment. They knew very well that as long as they could pounce on them, not only would the opponent not dare to continue to bombard the front unscrupulously, but they could also quickly decide the outcome through hand-to-hand combat!

At this moment, the Qing army had entered an arrow, and the Ming army's tiger squat cannons were still firing hard, but these gunners were no longer as idle as before. After being bought by the opponent's cannons for nearly a mile, the Qing army's archers began to shoot in order to suppress the opponent. The Ming army was also unwilling to be outdone, and the archers and bird gunners opened fire one after another. But this was true, the smoke on the side of the Ming army became even stronger, so that they could not see the other party's movements for a while.

Fortunately, although the Qing army was veterans who knew that they needed to use swords, shields and soldiers to block the damage, most of the Ming army had experienced battle formations and immediately supported the shields at the reminder of the officers.

However, at this moment, the Ming army's response speed was obviously a beat slower when the change caused by gunpowder on the battlefield. While the Qing army used swords and shields to block the damage, the entire army also began to move forward quickly. In this way, not only did the Ming army's arrows be lost, but after shortening the distance, the Qing army in the offensive form could also reduce the time to endure the attack, thereby accelerating the rhythm of the attack.

After the smoke of gunpowder dissipated and after three rounds of blind shooting, the Ming army suddenly found that the opponent had rushed to about 30 meters. In a panic, the spearmen in the front row of the Ming army immediately lowered the spears and prepared to resist the enemy. But at this moment, the experienced Qing army once again took the lead.

At this moment, Liu Da had already carried the shield behind him again, and changed his position with the javelin that was still behind him. When his vision was clearer, the spearman in front of Liu Da immediately turned sideways and made way aside. Liu Da and other sword and shield soldiers standing in the back row rushed to the front of the formation like a flying thrust, and then threw the javelin in his hand out with the power of his body sprinting forward.

"middle!"

The javelins all over the sky instantly crossed this short distance of thirty meters. The Ming army, who had less experience in battle formation, was far from reacting. Only a very small number of sword and shield soldiers re-screwed their shields when the mutation was revealed. The Ming army in the front row, which was not protected by a shield, either fell to the ground and died by a shot, or fell to the vital parts such as limbs and abdomen, and fell into a pool of blood with miserable wails. Only a few lucky people were able to pass the first round of throwing without any injuries.

Fortunately, most of the Ming troops located in front of the battle formation were elite. After discovering that their side could no longer throw projecting weapons such as javelins, flying knives, and flying axes, they immediately re-arranged sword and shield soldiers from the previous row to defend themselves, while the sword and shield soldiers in the back row threw weapons to counterattack.

At this time, the sword and shield soldiers of the Extrabec Battalion did not rush to throw the second round after throwing the first round of javelin. Instead, they quickly chased to the front row by the surpassed spearman, and once again reinterpreted the way they had just launched an attack.

"middle!"

This time, the Ming army, which had been prepared, did not suffer much casualties. Under the protection of the sword and shield soldiers, only a few soldiers were hit by the javelins flying into the shield interval and were injured. However, the first row of the Ming army was no longer a spearmen who resisted the enemy, but a sword and shield soldiers who should hold shields to defend themselves.

After the second time, the Qing army's sword and shield soldiers still did not rush to throw the last javelin out. However, the Qing army's spearmen no longer stopped and headed straight for the Ming army's battle formation.

Twenty-five meters...

Twenty meters...

Fifteen meters!

The Qing army's spearmen quickly stopped and squatted on the ground under the command of the officers. At this time, the sword and shield soldiers in the back row threw the third javelin out.

The javelin passed through the sky above his head, and the Qing army's spearmen also roared and rushed up, while the sword and shield soldiers took off their shields and pulled out their waists to follow closely. Correspondingly, the sword and shield soldiers in the front row of the Ming army had to defend against the flying javelins and block the opponent's spears. If they were to lose sight of each other, casualties would inevitably be caused.

Such cooperation requires long-term coordination. The Qing army was an old camp that had been in power for more than ten years. Although new soldiers continued to pour in, since the Lu Jianguo launched an army to attack the Qiantang River, Dorgon did not choose to split Tian Xiong's generals and soldiers out of the consideration of suppressing the anti-Qing armed forces in Zhejiang. Later, after Tian Xiong was promoted to the admiral of Zhejiang, the cohesion of this army was far from comparable to their opponents who were divided into various divisions.

On the battlefield at this moment, the left camp of the left wing of the Qing army, the left and right battalions of the Ming army, and the middle routes of the two sides, had already collided together, while the right wing of the Qing army still seemed to be progressing slowly due to road problems. Even so, the left wing of the Ming army did not take advantage of the situation to surround the situation, because the opponent they were about to usher was the ace in the Thunderbat camp, while their own side belonged to several Ming troops, and they just temporarily accepted the dispatch of the general of Xue'ao Du Xingguo.

Since the first move was lost, the Ming army has been in a passive state of being beaten since taking over the enemy. In addition, the opponent's armor and weapons are more sophisticated. Even the soldiers in the front rows of warriors were almost all wearing double armors, so the number of casualties of the Ming army climbed much faster than that of the opponent. Although Wang Yi did not have a God's perspective and could not see the specific numbers, he could easily see that his front line was always suppressed by the opponent. The right wing of the left and right battalions was fine, but the middle lane of the front and middle battalions was already a little concave.

This is not a solution.

Although the troops we were taking over were all composed of the elite troops of the Ming army in Dalan Mountain and the Ming army in Siming Mountain, the ability to endure casualties was impossible to be stronger than those of the opponent's veterans in a hundred battles. It was only a matter of time to be defeated like this at this moment.

This can't continue like this!

Wang Yi gritted his teeth and ordered the signal he had booked was sent.
Chapter completed!
