The first one to roar was not the Ming Dynasty, but the dozen or so red cannons set up on the sand embankment. The cannons that had been fired by the Yuan Dynasty were adjusted, and the camouflage was removed, revealing the black holes, and a dazzling fire was bursting out.

The shells flew over the river more than 100 meters, flew over both sides of the Ming army's battle formation, and rushed into the Han army's formation diagonally.

The battle formation of the Han soldiers was about 400 meters away from the Ming army. Their old artillery had not reached the firing distance, and the land under their feet was relatively solid. This was also the main reason why the Ming army artillery took the lead in firing.

Although the power of the old artillery was small, it still had a considerable lethality for the closely arranged Ming army. Therefore, the Red Cannons took the lead in firing, disrupting the arrangement of the Han soldiers.

The solid shells used an unstoppable impact to break a bloody path in the Han army's battle formation until the exhaustion stopped, leaving behind broken limbs and broken arms on the ground and bloody.

Screams and wails sounded one after another, and a shell rushed into the enemy's formation while bouncing, resulting in more than a dozen casualties. The number of casualties was still bearable, and it was no more powerful than a round of musket shooting.

However, the roar of cannons, as well as the irresistible impact destructive power, coupled with the tragic situation of killing and injuring, created a greater deterrence.

This is also easy to understand. It is also a murderer. Why is Lingchi cut into pieces? It means that people die miserably and increase their deterrence.

Looking at the bloody corpse, and my companions were missing arms and legs, and they were flying with blood and screaming. No matter how strong my nerves were, they would feel cold on their backs and their scalp exploded, right?

Chen Sanhe's eyes were dull and subconsciously retreated. His eyes were full of red, which was blood and minced meat, which belonged to his companions and friends.

The villagers in a village are of the same age and can even be regarded as young as a young man. Now they have been hit by shells and fallen into a very miserable state of blood and rotten flesh.

"Bang!" A whip whip was harshly, causing Chen Sanhe to almost jump up.

Ma Guangyuan's fierce voice sounded, "Those who retreated will be killed, and the whole team will move forward."

The little officers suppressed their fear? They shouted loudly? Reorganized the team and continued to move forward.

"Don't be afraid? The enemy's artillery fires very slowly? It's just like that." Ma Guangyuan shouted loudly at the horse, calming his morale. "The more he shrinks, the faster he dies; when he approaches the enemy, his artillery will not dare to fire."

This seems to make sense? It proves that Ma Guangyuan is not an incompetent person and still has a lot of understanding of the performance of artillery.

It seems that in order to prove what Ma Guangyuan said, the Ming army's artillery really stopped bombarding. As for the Red Cannon, it is really not a good match for the rate of fire.

Under the supervision of the officers, the bombardment stopped. The Han soldiers rectified their queues and continued to move forward.

Whether it is cold weapons or firearms, the battlefield should pay attention to the battle formation and give full play to its collective advantages. The bird guns equipped by the Han soldiers are of course no exception. They should not only exert the density of firepower? They must also enter the range.

During training, Tong Yangxing, Ma Guangyuan and others thought that musket battles were a consumption. Do you fire a shot? I also fire a bullet? At about the same distance, the hit rate will not be too different.

Even if there are differences in quality, performance and power of muskets, the advantage in numbers is enough to make up. If you rely on a strong city to defend, you can better narrow the gap in weapons.

The idea is good, and putting aside other factors, the approach is also correct.

The Han soldiers used swords, shields, and bird gunners to mix them. This idea and arrangement was also very realistic.

Without bayonets, the bird gunners have no melee combat ability; the knife and shields can block lead bullets (using bird guns as tests), but they do not occupy as much space as the spearmen.

The Ming army's battle formation was still unmoved, twenty Franco machine cannons were laid in front of the formation, and the black muzzles pointed at the enemy that was approaching step by step.

Five hundred meters, four hundred meters, three hundred meters, two hundred meters... neither of the muskets of both sides opened fire, and seemed to be waiting to enter the range.

Boom, boom, boom! Three roars broke the dull tension on the battlefield. Three shells rose from behind the sand embankment, flew to the opposite shore in an arc, and smashed down.

Although the direction and angle of the artillery have been adjusted, the Ming army that landed first has set up guidance marks hundreds of meters in front of the formation, and the artillery still conducted test firing.

Three shells were near or far, two fell into the enemy's formation, and one fell in front of the formation, more than one hundred meters away from the Ming army's battle formation.

Luo Li held up the telescope and observed the bounce point. Then, he saw the flag verbs from his friendly forces.

"The angle direction remains unchanged, fire and bombard it!" Luo Li was excited and issued an order loudly.

He had almost checked one by one with more than a hundred artillery pieces, but until now, his heart was completely relieved.

After years of growth and training, Luo Li has become the commander-in-chief of the artillery. Whether it is the red cannons fired at the head of Ningyuan City or the reign of the Ming Dynasty, he has mastered them.

If it were just his own excellent business, it would be nothing.

The most important thing is that Luo Li compiled a shooting element table for artillery. According to the numbers above, he can shoot the element through elevation angle, charge amount, etc., and calculate the landing point of the shell.

To put it bluntly, you don’t need too high cultural level and calculation ability to control artillery according to the map. This can be called an innovative invention, which was commended by the emperor and became a textbook in martial arts.

With this dictionary-like artillery manual, the requirements for artillery were greatly reduced, and the training speed was greatly accelerated. More gods of war appeared on the battlefield, making the Ming army more wings.

Three test-firing shells killed two Han soldiers, and slight blue smoke rolled out on the ground. The Han soldiers, who knew that the sky was thunder, couldn't help but scream and quickly stay away from danger.

Boom, boom, boom! Three explosions sounded, and a flash of fire, shrapnel flew in the rising black smoke, and a scream sounded.

For the Han soldiers who were rushing forward in a formation, the range of the three shells could not be affected.

The Han soldiers around the bounced point fell into chaos, but the far away had little impact. The Han soldiers in the distance had no idea what had happened.

Thousands of people could not be confused by the three test-fired shells. Moreover, the lethality of these three bombs may not be more powerful than the solid bombs of the Red Cannon.

"Go forward, move forward." The officers shouted loudly, rectifying the soldiers, seemingly having a lot of experience than before.

Ma Guangyuan also howled and directed the Han soldiers to set up artillery, ready to give the enemy the same blow.

Boom, Boom, Boom... There was a continuous roar on the other side, and dozens of shells flew up from behind the sand embankment and crossed the river surface. Under the terrified gaze of the Han soldiers, they fell one after another.

Ma Guangyuan looked up at the shells that were smashed, and his pupils suddenly contracted. How many artillery pieces were there? The Ming army actually had such a trick hidden.

The shells smashed into the Han soldiers' array. Looking at the smoke-drilling death talisman on the ground, the Han soldiers around them screamed and hurried away.

If you look down from the air, the battle formation of the Han soldiers is like a beach hit by heavy raindrops, and like a ripples caused by many stones pouring into the water, with a circular blank centered on the shells.

The explosion sounded, one after another, and dazzling light flashed in the battle formation and balls of black smoke rose.

Du Yueshan issued an order to attack, and hundreds of Ming army musketeers who were ready passed through the gaps of the Fran machine cannon vehicles, and then stepped forward in a tight four-row array.

The explosions had just stopped one after another, and a swan sounded again.

The battle formation of the Ming army came to an abrupt end, less than 100 meters away from the Han soldiers in front.

The first row of musketeers raised their guns, aimed, and pulled the machine. The gunshots formed a roar that was no less than the cannon. Countless bright spots flashed, and thick white smoke rose.

As soon as the gunshot fell, the second row of musketeers crossed their companions, raised their guns again, aimed, accompanied by the command of Swanyin, and another powerful volley.

The Han soldiers who were violently bombarded and caused chaos had no time to adjust and were hit by a head-on attack with muskets.

Install fuse (install fuse into the faucet clamp of the trigger and prepare to ignite), open the fire door cover, ignite the fuse, aim, pull the trigger to fire...

Although the Han soldiers have completed the first few steps of the cumbersome launch of bird guns, only the final procedure is left, but in the chaos, people are panicked, and there are lead bullets like rain, few people can calm down and operate?

This is the lack of practical experience. Most of the Han soldiers have not experienced any battle formations.

During training, you can operate the bird gun more skillfully, but on the battlefield, it is inevitable that you will feel panic and tremble. Whoever remembers that in an emergency can also ignite the fire gate directly without aiming and firing.

The four-row Ming army advanced forward in an orderly manner, like a sophisticated machine running, and the muskets fired round after round, like monsters spraying with flames.

This is the elite recruited by Zhang Pan's troops. Some veterans even followed Zhang Pan when they opened a town in Dongjiang. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a battle-making experience.

"Those who retreat will be killed without mercy! Those who are afraid of the former..." Ma Guangyuan's wolf howl could not stop the defeat of the Han soldiers. He waved his blood-stained sword in vain and had already cut and killed several defeated soldiers.

He could see clearly that the third group of Ming troops were approaching the shore by boat, and the Ming troops pressing forward were making shoals for them. In addition to the Ming soldiers, the ship was also loaded with artillery vehicles.

"Get the bayonet and charge!" Du Yueshan shouted and ordered.

The drum beats the war, although it only has two sides and the sound is neither huge nor exciting, but when the command of the charge, the Ming soldiers suddenly became excited.

"Kill, rush, kill!" The shouts sounded, and the blood on his body was excited.

After firing the lead bullet in the gun, the Ming army soldiers raised their bayonets, took big steps, and shouted and charged forward.

Facing the Ming army rushing towards them like wolves and tigers, the last trace of fighting spirit of the Han soldiers was also lost, and the retreat finally turned into a defeat.

Puff, puff, puff... A row of bayonets caught up with the enemy and plunged into the body without mercy. Amid the screams, blood splattered.

The wolf cried and howled, fled in panic, and the defeat was already established. No one dared to turn back, let alone turn back to fight.

The third batch of Ming troops began to land, and there were still three hundred musketeers, more than twenty Franco cannons and equipped artillery vehicles. The enemy and our forces had changed, although not very obvious.
