After five rounds of shooting, the gunners of the Runing Army standing in the front row no longer loaded their guns, and they ran towards the back of the phalanx in an orderly manner.

"Shots! Reject horses!" The head of the Central Infantry Regiment shouted loudly.The spearmen in the first few rows of the Runing Army's phalanx immediately bloomed flowers of death in front of the phalanx.

But the Runing Army was ready, but the Qing cavalry stopped charging.When they rushed to the front forty or fifty steps, they all reined in their horses, took down their riding bows, and started shooting arrows.

Cavalry bows are all soft bows, which are not fast and powerful enough, and the distance is far away now, so these Qing cavalry all use upward shooting.There is no need to pay attention to whether the head is accurate or not, as long as it is shot in this way, it will always hit several Runing soldiers in the phalanx.However, under the protection of the soldiers of the Runing Army, this kind of archery is far from lethal at all, and at most it is a kind of harassment.

But even harassment can be annoying, which is better than mosquito bites!But the Runing Army was also very helpless, and there was no way to fight back for a moment. Only the commander of firearms shouted to the gunners: "Quickly charge the gunpowder, and run to the front to shoot." The commander of firearms gave contradictory orders Instead, it caused a burst of confusion among the gunners.

Taking advantage of this time difference, the second cavalry team of the Qing army rushed over again.This time they got closer and dismounted at a distance of thirty steps. After standing still, they drew their bows and arrows, dismounted and started shooting.This time, he used a long bow and heavy arrows, and shot directly, so the power of the bow and arrow was great.The Qing cavalry of the first team also stepped forward and dismounted one after another. Nine out of ten people shot arrows, and one led the horse as a horse stake.

Dismounting and shooting at about thirty steps is not something that simple armor can resist.This time King Qin's Runing Army only had more than a thousand newly-made plate armor, and it was mainly equipped with officers at all levels, so the soldiers of the Runing Army standing in the first row were mostly beggars wearing iron plates Armor, this protective power can't withstand the heavy arrows of the Qing army at such a close range.

So after the first sound of the bowstring, heavy arrows were shot out, and a large number of soldiers of the Runing Army were shot down immediately.With the arrival of the third team of Qing cavalry.They also dismounted one after another, rushed towards the front, and fired the heavy arrows in their hands as much as possible.The casualties of the Runing Army were even greater.

And the Gunners of the Runing Army in the back finally arrived. They already didn't care about the danger of being shot by bows and arrows. It's free fire.But at this distance, firecrackers are compared with bows and arrows.There is no advantage anymore, not to mention that the number of Qing cavalry is far more than that of firecrackers. [

The firecrackers were constantly roaring, the bowstrings were constantly trembling, and the screams of the dead and wounded were even more constant.At this moment, the gunners of the Runing Army, who worked so hard, finally loaded the cannon.A salvo followed.

This made the entire battlefield quiet.But just now, in order to prevent the Qing cavalry from rushing into the formation, the artillery has delayed the artillery, so now the range of these cannonballs is simply not enough for the Qing army shooters.So after being dazed for a while and realizing that they were safe, the morale of the Qing army was greatly boosted. They turned and shot at the gunners, nailing several gunners to the ground.See also effect of graupel.The remaining gunners braved the arrow rain and pulled the cannon back desperately.

"Rush forward and assassinate!" Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, several officers in the front row ordered one after another.At this time, regardless of the orderly movement of the soldiers, the most important thing is to eliminate these troublesome Qing army shooters first.

Under the loud orders of the officers, the soldiers of the Runing Army in the first few rows raised their spears flatly, and rushed over in great strides despite the rain of arrows.In the distance of more than 20 steps, people kept falling under the rain of arrows.But the gap left by the fall was immediately filled by those following behind.

All the soldiers of the Runing Army have a strong heart: Nima's!Even if I die, I still have to kill a few of them.

After a few rounds of rapid shooting, the shoulders and arms of the Qing army's shooters were a little sore, and they needed to take a break, but they never expected that the Runing army would come up with long spears.In the impression of the soldiers of the Qing army, the Ming army should have collapsed in such a dense arrow rain. They were surprised by the tenacity of this Ming army.Now that they saw that the Ming army dared to fight back, they were a little scared.

But how far is the distance of more than ten steps?In a blink of an eye, the Runing Army rushed to those shooters.The current soldiers of the Runing Army don't care about any standard movements, they all gnash their teeth and stab forward, stabbing at the same time.One side also shouted: "Kill!".

The sound of shouting and killing is loud.Then came the screams of the blockbuster.The power of long-range weapons lies in the distance. If the enemy is close, it will be as close as an iron.The archers of the Qing army with bows and arrows fell to the ground one after another. Even if the archers behind took out machetes and short spears from their horses, they could not resist at all compared to the assassination by the Runing army. effect.

So the cavalry of the Qing army began to retreat, and everyone desperately got on their horses to escape farther.But in a hurry, many people couldn't find the reins in the hands of the horse post, so they had to run towards the outside on foot.

At this time, the gunners of the Runing Army finally felt proud.They kept shooting at the backs of the Qing soldiers, knocking them down one by one to the ground.It looks like things are starting to improve.

But at this moment, those Qing troops who fled on horseback and on foot fled to both sides. They pulled out the gap in the middle, and the fourth team of Qing cavalry roared towards the middle of the Runing Army through the gap.

At this time, the Runing Army soldiers who rushed out of the phalanx had no time to return to the main formation.All the musketeers began to shoot hastily, but many of them had no time to reload their guns, and there was no unified order to form a salvo, let alone burst fire. Therefore, such free shooting did not stop the Qing cavalry's charge at all. pace.

And those spearmen could only hastily form a thin spear formation in place, watching the Qing cavalry getting closer and closer with wide eyes.

"what--!"

Amidst the shouts, the cavalry of the Qing army slammed into the spear array. Although the spear array injured many horses in the first row of the fourth team, after all, the formation was too thin, and all the people who were hit The soldiers of the Ning army were all knocked out heavily.And when the cavalry in the second row rushed past, the spear formation in front of the phalanx no longer existed. [

But this obstacle bought time for the phalanx after all, and the spearmen and ax gunners in the first few rows of the phalanx bloomed with death guns again.So when the Qing cavalry in the second row rushed to the front, most of them were slammed by the straight spears.
