Behind the armored cavalry were many infantry with muskets, and artillery vehicles rolling forward.

The guards here had just finished loading the bullets when they heard the sound of the artillery on the opposite side. The sergeants all lay down behind the bunker according to the previous training to prevent being injured by the artillery shells.

While the attacking troops of the Song Army fired artillery shells continuously, the artillery battalions of the two regiments of the Protectorate Army also launched a counterattack behind the position, and the rumbling artillery rang through the sky.

The shooting of the artillerymen has already been calibrated, and the accuracy is much more accurate than that of the artillerymen of the Song army. Solid iron bullets are constantly falling on the charge of the Song army. Formed a bloody road, but the follow-up Song army was still tearing and screaming and rushed here.

When the Song army rushed to only [-] steps away from the position, the two cavalry battalions of the flanking guards also launched a cavalry countercharge under the leadership of the battalion commander.

The cavalry of the Protectorate Army were all equipped with lances, and the lances had already been loaded. When the light cavalry rushed to the Iron Armored Army, they rushed forward with a row of guns.

Li Ming's armored soldiers were counter-charged by more than 50 cavalry from two battalions, and twenty or thirty knights could be consumed in one round. Li Ming felt heartache in the team.

He mobilized the charging army to defend his flank with infantry, and the cavalry of the guard army also attacked the flank of the armored soldiers. Every time he came up, he would consume a large number of infantry who deliberately followed the guard, and then quickly ran away to the distance Reload and rush back to shoot again.

Those light cavalry protecting the army were equipped with solid plate armor on their chests and sabers in their hands. This level of defense could only barely withstand the attack of crossbows. They would also be sacrificed if they encountered muskets. After several rounds of charges, the battlefield Bodies fell on the ground, including those of the protective cavalry and those of the Song army's infantry and cavalry.

The two battalions of the Protectorate Army charged desperately, coupled with the constant artillery shells greeting the infantry, when the Song Army cavalry was about to approach the first line of defense of the Protectorate Army, it finally caused a large-scale rout of the infantry on their flanks.

There is artillery fire on the side, cavalrymen on the side continue to shoot coldly, and there are overlapping barbed wire and black muzzles in front. The situation faced by the flanking infantry of the Song Army is like hell. It is already possible to run so far under this kind of torture. Far exceeded the expectations of the Protectorate for them.

As soon as the Song army, which was used as a meat shield on the flanks, retreated, the Song army supervisor team behind them did not hesitate to kill. Can't stop.

But when the infantry on the flanks dispersed in a rush, the armored heavy cavalry of the Song army's first charge finally came to the barbed wire fence of the protecting army. Li Ming ordered the infantry to jump out, and took out iron chisels and steel rods from the harness. The scissors tried to cut through the barbed wire.

When Zhao Qi saw those people working on the barbed wire fence, he quickly took out his pistol and fired a shot at the enemy. After that, the first round of shooting by the protective army began intensively.

The Song Army who rushed to the barbed wire fence and tried to break through the barrier fell down in an instant, and then the bullets poured into the Song Army's heavy cavalry.

Dozens of those infantry came out with muskets on their heads. They picked up the tools of the Song Army and continued to cut through the barbed wire.

Zhao Qi watched the Song Jun coming up in batches, and gradually cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He took a Dengzhou Type [-] pistol and fired at the opposite side without aiming at it. The pistol had very good directivity, and he reimbursed two enemies with seven bullets. Pick up a rifle that has been loaded before and start shooting at the enemy.

It's just that there were too many enemies in front of him. At a distance of only [-] steps away from the enemy, Zhao Qi could clearly feel the timidity in the hearts of his soldiers when he looked at the overwhelming enemy army.

The soldiers reloaded more and more slowly, and some people were shaking their hands and feet in the tension.

Zhao Qi knew that round after round of gunshots from here would only have a deterrent effect on the enemy on the opposite side, and it was impossible to wipe out all the enemies in front of him in a row, and wait until they broke through the second round of barbed wire to attack later It will only become more violent, and after the triple barbed wire is completely broken, the infantry will retreat, and the armored cavalry will charge.

The protection army kept shooting forward to harass the Song army engineers who broke the barbed wire, and the Song army also kept pouring ammunition at the protection army's position.

"careful!"

With a sound of "bang", Zhao Qi watched with his own eyes a soldier next to him was directly hit by the iron bullets fired by the enemy, and his flesh and blood flew across the body. After wiping the blood on his face, Zhao Qi couldn't help but feel heartbroken even after many battles. Jing wavered, looking at the enemy in the distance, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and continued to shoot with his volley.

Zhao Qi was extremely nervous, especially the soldiers under him.

Zhao Qier could hear the sound of the soldiers firing their guns in unison from the first round, to every time later, when the officer swung his command saber and asked to line up and shoot, the gunfire in the soldiers' hands became less and less, until the seventh round. During the platoon, the fire rate of the protection army's rifles was no more than [-]%. Half of the people finished shooting first and the other half slowly fired the bullets in their hands. The accuracy of the platoon's guns also declined.

Seeing that the barbed wire fence in front of him was about to be broken, and the enemy infantry who charged in the first round were almost exhausted, Zhao Qi was also beating drums in his heart. He knew that his soldiers would not last long. If the Song army on the opposite side continued to advance , They will switch from here to the next line of defense.

The staff officers around him had already looked at him questioningly, but Zhao Qi was not reconciled, and he wanted to continue fighting. He didn't believe that the Song army in front of him had such strong resilience.

After the ninth round of platooning, the common firing rate of the platoons this time has not exceeded [-]%, and most people have not had time to reload in time with the rhythm of the large army. At this time, there is finally a change in the thin Song army infantry line in front of them.

A few infantrymen of the Song army who were constantly being urged to cut the barbed wire and fill in the wire dropped their scissors and ran back. Although they were quickly killed by the cavalry behind them wielding their sabers, the escape of these people caused more and more panic. With the resonance of the infantry of the Song Army, the infantry of the Song Army soon began to retreat.

The cannons of the two artillery battalions of the guarding army kept firing at the Song army gathered at the front line, and the shells fell like rain. The front-line infantry of the Song army finally couldn't resist the massacre of firepower, and gradually retreated.

Zhao Qi saw the Song Army's banner of "Li Ming, Supervisor of Xuzhou Soldiers and Horses" waved in the distance, and there was a clanging and golden sound coming from under the flag.

The Song army all turned around, and began to retreat neatly and quickly, as if the tide was gradually receding in front of the protecting army, revealing a turquoise beach.

The first round of charge was finally over.
