Chapter 182
Seeing that his [-] cavalry were surrounded by the Ming army, Wu Keshan immediately broke out in three ways.

He was not afraid of the Ming army, but he did not dare to contend against the red cannons of the Ming army. How terrifying this thing was, he had known for a long time that Nurhachi was shot to death by the red cannons back then.

The Tazi cavalry on the left attacked the artillery positions of the Ming army, the cavalry on the right broke through to the rear of the Ming army, and he himself led the army to quickly break out in the direction of Horqin.

The headquarters not only has Azig's inlaid red flag sitting in the town, but also [-] to [-] tribal troops. As long as they return to the tribe, they can move troops to destroy the Ming army at any time.

But he never imagined that the Ming army not only had red cannons, but also flintlock guns beyond the age, and their combat quality was equally astonishing, which was far from the Ming army he had known before.

The [-] Tatars he sent to attack the artillery of the Ming army were wiped out by the Ming army in a short time, and the four armies of the Ming army began to encircle them.

"Kill, kill all the Tartars."

The Ming army's shouts of killing sounded from all directions. Wu Keshan knew that his 2 people had been made dumplings by the Ming army, and the only way to survive was to break through.

"Warriors, follow this general to break out of the siege, or all of them will be shot to death by the cannons in red."

The thousands of people around Wu Keshan are almost all elites. Their momentum is the strongest of the three-way army. He is very confident that he can break through.

The journey went very smoothly, unexpectedly, there was no artillery bombardment from the Ming army, and no shadow of the cannon in red was seen. Wu Keshan was secretly happy, and couldn't help laughing:

"It seems that the commanders of the Ming army are limited in their abilities. If they set up an ambush here and set up some red-clothed cannons, we will be doomed."

Before Wu Keshan laughed, suddenly a personal guard pointed forward and shouted:
"Look, general, our escape route is blocked."

"what?"

Wu Keshan was taken aback, and followed the guard's finger, and saw their retreat, all of which were sealed off by the Ming army.

The number of opponents was about the same as them, but each held a firecracker in his hand and was full of energy. He looked into the eyes of the Tartars as if he was looking at his own prey.

Wu Keshan didn't see the cannon, and Wu Keshan immediately calmed down his heart that was hanging just now:
"They don't have artillery, so they will cover Minggou with arrow rain first, and then the whole army will attack."

"twitter"

The Tartars immediately opened their bows and set up arrows, facing the Ming army with a rain of arrows.

However, the Ming army did not fall as Wu Keshan imagined. They were shot down by arrows one after another. Countless soldiers with swords and shields suddenly rushed up behind them, and the arrows of the Tartars were blocked by the shields one after another.

"Da da da……"

As soon as the Ming army blocked the rain of arrows, the Tartars launched a violent attack, and thousands of horses galloped up, and the momentum was quite spectacular.

Seeing that the Tartars were about 150 steps away from him, Huang Degong sent an order:
"Flintlocks are ready, the first row raises their guns!"

"150 steps"

"140 steps"

"130 steps"

The Ming army's flintlock guns were all aimed at the Tartars, and they still didn't pull the trigger at 130 steps.

Seeing this scene, many Tartar cavalrymen laughed loudly:
"Look, the Ming army was scared stupid by us. They didn't know how to start a fire at such a short distance. They were obviously waiting to die."

"120 steps"

"shot……"

120 paces is the best shooting distance for a flintlock.

Huang Degong swung his hand violently, and the triggers of the two thousand flintlock guns were immediately pulled.

"Bang bang..."

"Pfft..."

The sound of flintlock guns suddenly sounded, and the hundreds of Tartar cavalry who rushed to the front were immediately knocked off their horses.

"Second row, shoot."

"Bang bang..."

After the first row of flintlock guns fired, the second row began to shoot immediately.

After a burst of gunfire, the Tazi cavalry was shot and killed more than 300 people again.

Immediately afterwards, the third batch of flintlock guns sounded again, and hundreds of Tartar cavalry were killed.

When the Ming army in the third row fired, the Ming army in the first row had already loaded the ammunition and fired again.

In this way, 120 flintlock guns fired in turn, and [-] steps seemed to be a short distance, but it became a red line that the Tartars could not cross.

No matter how hard they hit, they will fall 120 steps away in the end, and it can be said that it is difficult to make an inch.

Wu Keshan watched his subordinates fall down row by row, still unable to get close to the Ming army, he suddenly thought of a change:
"Send the order, change the formation immediately, and move forward in a long snake formation, you must rush over."

"twitter"

The Tazi cavalry quickly changed formation, and the remaining 4000 cavalry formed ten long snake formations, and one thousand cavalry began to attack the 120-step distance between them and the Ming army.

Huang Degong doesn't look good. If the Tartars make such an impact, they may stand out from the encirclement.

Because only ten cavalrymen in front of them can be killed at one time, and the Tartars behind them will be drawn into the distance with the Ming army, Huang Degong hastily ordered:

"Sword and Shield Soldiers, ignite the explosive bomb and throw it out. Don't let the Tartars get close to us."

"Yes"

The two thousand knife shield soldiers put down their swords and shields immediately, and lit the explosive bombs one after another. When the Tartar snake formation had just formed, they had already started throwing explosive bombs.

"Rumble..."

At a distance of 120 steps, no one had the ability to throw the flowering bombs, and as a result, the flowering bombs exploded in front of the Tartars.

In this way, although the Tartars could not be bombed, it also prevented their war horses from charging with all their strength.They raised their heads one after another and neighed loudly.

Wu Keshan knew at a glance that the Ming army was getting nervous now, and hastily issued an order:

"Quick, hit with all your strength."

"Da da da……"

In order to survive, the Tartars also fought hard. This time, after losing more than 500 people, they finally broke through the Ming army's hail of bullets and quickly approached the distance of 50 steps.

Huang Degong shook his head. He didn't expect the Tartars to be so desperate. It seemed that they were about to fight with the Tartars. He sent an order:

"The cavalry is ready. Once the Tartars break through the 30-step distance, other arms will quickly withdraw from the battlefield. The sword and shield soldiers only need to protect the firearms battalion, and the rest of the battlefield will be handed over to the cavalry."

But this time the sword and shield soldiers suddenly disobeyed Huang Degong's order:
"Captain, if we don't retreat, the Tartars are obviously desperate. We don't have enough cavalry, and the sword and shield soldiers have to fight with the cavalry."

Time is urgent, and Huang Degong doesn't want to talk nonsense:
"Okay, you stay here, the Firearms Battalion will withdraw immediately, this is non-negotiable, withdraw quickly."

The Firearms Battalion knew that they were not capable of hand-to-hand combat, so they all nodded.

But the flintlock guns in their hands did not stop firing, and the tartars were approaching them at a distance of thirty steps, which was the limit distance left by Huang Degong for the firearms battalion to retreat.

Huang Degong ordered in one fell swoop:
"The firearms battalion retreated, the sword and shield soldiers covered, and the cavalry followed the capital to kill the Tartars, go!"

"Bang bang..."

"Come on, kill all the dog tartars..."

At the most critical moment, a burst of gunshots suddenly sounded behind the Tartars. After the gunfire stopped, Ming troops from all directions quickly approached Huang Degong's troops.

Feeling a violent vibration on the ground behind him, Huang Degong looked back, and was relieved at the time, it turned out that Jin Shengheng led two thousand cavalry to kill.

At the rear and left and right of the Tartars, there were also thousands of cavalry at this time, the number of which was several times that of them.

One of them, a white-robed general, held a Liquan divine spear under his crotch, a white dragon horse, and charged at Wu Keshan who was in the Tartar formation like lightning.
