Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes hitting the ground, and the whole ground began to vibrate, as if an earthquake had occurred.

Soon, the flags were flying, and the Dongyao cavalry, who could not see them all, were rapidly advancing towards Liaoyang City.

Qi Jiguang stretched out his hand and pulled out the saber from his waist:

"Soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, get ready to fight, facing the Tartars who are not as good as animals, our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty must bravely kill the enemy, strive for complete annihilation, and leave no one alive.

"Yes"

"The mighty Ming army"

Chapter 154 Bombarding Zhenglan Banner

Hauge, Prince of Susu in the East, led seven thousand Zhenglan flags, and came to the city of Liaoyang aggressively.

I saw that the Ming army had been waiting in full force for a long time, and two phalanxes stood in front of them.

Hauge was very familiar with the phalanx in front of him. It was the Ming army's chariot battalion and firearms battalion.

In the past, I often fought with the Daming Cheying Firearms Battalion. At that time, the Ming army's combat effectiveness was poor except for the Qi's army.

Don't look at them holding Vulcan guns one by one, they seem to be majestic and high-spirited.

In fact, as long as the Eight Banners of the Eastern Captives rush forward, the Ming army only has one round of firearms in their hands.

Both the vehicle battalion and the firearms battalion will disintegrate in a short time, and they will start to collapse before they can reload their ammunition again.

Hauge swung the sword in the air, and the entire Zhenglan Banner stopped advancing immediately.

Don't think that the Eastern captive cavalry rushed when they saw the Ming army. They all understood that firearms are still firearms no matter how bad they are.

They usually shoot a round first, suppress the firepower of the Ming army with bows and arrows, and then start to charge.

It stands to reason that suppressing firearms with bows and arrows is a joke.

But in the face of the poor combat effectiveness of the Ming army, they can often turn this into reality.

"Zhenglan flag, strong bow ready"

"twitter"

The cavalrymen of Dongyao got off their horses one after another, took off their strong bows, and prepared to shoot.

Dongyao's very famous horse-riding archery is not horse-riding archery. Under normal circumstances, they ride horses to charge and dismount to shoot arrows.

Because they are a fishing and hunting nation, the quality and production materials of bows and arrows are better, and the limited range is farther than that of the Ming army.

Dongyao Qiang Bow can shoot 200 meters, of course, the real limited range is about 120 steps.

The ability to draw a bow and shoot arrows solely by human power is far stronger than that of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Although their limited range is only 120 meters, this is a battlefield, and a salvo of thousands of people is almost a thousand arrows.

It's completely a cover strike, so the accuracy doesn't need to be too high.

Qi Jiguang watched the Dongyao cavalry's operations coldly.

He knew that the current limited range of flintlock guns was about the same as that of Dongyao bows and arrows.

But the shelling distance of the tiger squatting cannon is much greater than that of the Dongyao cavalry.

Qi Jiguang waved the command flag:

"The two wings of the firearms battalion are spread out, the tiger squats the cannon, loads the bombs, and prepares for shelling!"

The soldiers of the Firearms Battalion in the front quickly spread out to the two wings, revealing the black muzzles of two hundred guns in the middle.

"fire"

"Rumble..."

The cavalrymen of Dongyao had just put their arrows on the bowstring, but they hadn't had time to draw the bowstring.

Suddenly there was a loud rumbling noise, and a hundred tiger squatting guns sprayed out huge fire snakes.

The explosive bullets hit the Dongyao cavalry like a huge hailstone.

"Rumble..."

A hundred explosive bombs exploded above Zhenglan Qi's head in an instant, and thousands of iron balls and gravel shot at the Dongyao cavalry at high speed.

No matter how brutal the Dongyao cavalry were, they were human beings, and the Dongyao cavalry in front fell down instantly.

The Dongyao cavalry behind suddenly panicked and shot arrows out of their hands one after another.

These arrows were shot in their panic, and the distance was far away, although a small number of Ming army artillerymen were hit by arrows.

But these arrows are limited in strength, and they don't wear opaque army armor at all.

"Rumble..."

Another hundred tigers crouched and started bombarding again.

In this way, two hundred tiger squatting cannons attacked in turn, and only the Dongcap cavalrymen who were blown up were turned on their backs.

"Stay steady, don't panic, the cavalry will attack immediately as soon as their cannons stop."

When Hauge saw it, his eyes immediately widened, and he shouted to his subordinates not to panic.

At the same time, there are also some cavalrymen who are not afraid of death, still sticking to archery.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

But in the intensive shelling, bows and arrows have no effect at all.

Many arrows happened to encounter shells in the air, and they were all shot down by shells.

Hauge is also a famous general who has experienced many battles in the East, and he feels something wrong when he sees it.

Today's Ming army is far superior to any opponent he has encountered before in terms of combat effectiveness and combat literacy.

Even though the gunners were hit by arrows, they still insisted on firing, and there was no sign of panic at all.

When fighting with the Ming army before, if this happened, the Ming army would have been in a panic.

You can't be forced to use bows and arrows and Ming army artillery to attack in this way, otherwise the loss will be great.

"Soto, you should immediately lead four soldiers to attack from the two wings."
