"Fire the artillery, fire the artillery!" With the order of the rebel artillery commander, the rebel artillery violently spit out his tongue of flames.

In order to open Taiyuan City, the rebel army had previously transferred forty "General Qingtian Cannons", plus various flying guns, golden cannons and field cannons, which were loaded with powerful firepower.

Then the left commander Zhu Xieyuan and the general of Xuan Town Li Guoliang rely on the elite cavalry in the border town and want to destroy the artillery of the Rebel Army in one fell swoop. How ridiculous?

Five passages were filled in the trenches in front of the Ming army for cavalry to enter and exit.

Each place sent a total of four or five hundred cavalry, with a total of more than two thousand two hundred cavalrymen, and they came out in a row.

However, as soon as the Ming cavalry left the cover of the side van and stepped onto the passage, they were immediately bombarded by the rebel artillery.

It turned out that during Zhang Shun's order to stop shooting, the gunner had already loaded the cannon.

More than twenty artillery pieces were disposed of in each passage, and the Ming army on the passage was fired and fired volleys.

The Red Cannons of this era are not very accurate, and the shooting rate is really worrying.

Later, based on previous combat experience and repeated trials, Zhang Shun discovered that the most effective way of killing cannons is basically the same as that of muskets.

All of them can achieve the maximum killing effect through dense volleys.

The rebel artillery commander had already divided the 150 various artillery pieces of the rebel army into seven positions, each of which was divided into more than twenty artillery pieces.

However, the artillery commander of each position divided the artillery into three parts, each with seven or eight artillery pieces, in order to form ladder firepower.

"Boom boom boom!" As the sound of the artillery of the rebels sounded, the elite Ming army cavalry, who were originally proud, suddenly became chaotic.

Some had just crossed the passage and hurriedly avoided the sides; some had just walked halfway, some were running forward eagerly, and some were running back in a panic, already crowded together.

It doesn't matter if it's crowded together, it's just right for the bombardment of the Rebels' artillery.

By chance, three shells were shot in, and more than a dozen people were penetrated in succession, only one bloody road was created.

"Bastard, hurry up, hurry up and fight for me!" The old man was furious and couldn't help but shouting loudly at the panicked cavalry, regrouping and preparing to march.

"Boom boom boom!" The second round of volleys of the rebels began again.

This time, the shooting parameters were corrected based on the first round, and he actually hit five of them in one go.

Among them, there was a huge iron bullet that was the most terrifying. It directly penetrated a cavalry vertically, like a candied haws, strung at least twenty or thirty cavalry.

"Zhi Niang, why are the thief shells so secretly?" Someone couldn't help but curse.

"Where are our Red Cannons having a good meal? Why don't you even sound it!"

As soon as the words finished, a loud "boom" sound was heard, which shocked his ears.

It turned out that the Ming army's red artillery finally began to fight back. One of them was lucky enough to penetrate the rebel artillery position in front of him, killing three or five gunners, causing considerable chaos.

However, the Ming army's Red Barbarian cannon has a long body tube and a large weight. It not only makes it inconvenient to load, but also has a worrying mobility.

The same artillery often fired two or three artillery guns, but the Ming army did not fight back.

Every time accumulating a certain number of launches, the shooting parameters were finally adjusted, which could cause damage to the Rebels.

The rebel artillery immediately put on mules and horses, pulled away artillery, ammunition, artillery and other items, and re-established artillery positions elsewhere.

In this way, the Ming army's Red Barbarian cannons not only have a worrying rate of fire, but also have an astonishing hit rate.

On the contrary, he was shot into the position several times by the rebel shells, which injured many gunners, which made the gunners even more frightened and frigid, and became increasingly no match for the rebels.

Finally, the Ming cavalry crossed the "death" passage under the "covering" of the Red Barbarian cannons.

The leader of the team always dared not delay, so he quickly rectified the formation and launched a timely charge towards the rebel artillery positions.

In this era, in order to reduce the killing of firearms on cavalry, normal charge formations should be lined up in units of sentries and charge in a horizontal line.

However, the Ming cavalry is within the range of the Rebel artillery. The Ming cavalry is worried that the Rebel artillery cannons will cover the entire squad, so they dare not stay for a long time.

"Let's fight!" Zhang Shun, standing on the observation deck, saw the five opponent's cavalry coming towards the rebels like five sharp arrows, and he couldn't help but calmly ordered.

The rebel artillery positions were only about two miles away from the Ming army camp, and the cavalry arrived suddenly.

If you still shoot with solid bullets, not only will the hit rate be touching, but the killing effect will not be satisfactory.

Since this is the case, Zhang Shun simply ordered the soldiers to replace with shotguns and prepare to kill and inflict the Ming cavalry at close range.

The rebel gunner who received the order quickly fired out the solid bullet that had been loaded in the barrel as ordered by the commander, and then reloaded the shotgun.

The cannon that had been loaded with shotgun was pushed to the front by the gunner, flattened the barrel, and aimed at the cavalry that was raising smoke in the distance.

"The enemy is five hundred steps away...the enemy is three hundred steps away...the enemy is two hundred steps away...the enemy is one hundred and fifty steps away!"

"The first row of fire and fire, the second row of fire is ready!" As the lookout loudly reported the distance to the end, the gun battalion commander decisively issued a shooting order.

With a deafening sound of cannons, countless shotguns poured out like raindrops.

The cavalry in front suddenly became a little sparse, and even in the gunner's sight, you could see with your own eyes that some cavalry and war horses fell to the ground on the spot, causing some disturbance to the subsequent cavalry's march.

However, the white smoke from the gunners, like white veil, enveloped the gunner's sight, and everything became hazy.

"The second row of fire and fire cannons, and the third row of musketeers are ready!" The commander of the cannon battalion calmly issued an order, not affected by the approaching Ming cavalry.

"Boom boom boom!" The deafening sound of cannons sounded again. Due to the dense launch, the sound of cannons was buzzing.

The smoke of gunpowder had dissipated and became heavier, not only blocking the gunner's vision, but also a little bit eye-catching.

"The musketeer is ready to shoot, and the two wing gunners are ready to shoot cross-fire!" Although the gun battalion commander could no longer see the enemy's things clearly at this time, the vibration of the earth had already announced to him the arrival of "black and white impermanence".

"The first row of the musketeers advances five steps forward, open fire! The second row, the third row follows forward!" As the commander of the artillery battalion delegates command, the musketeers commander continues to issue orders in an orderly manner.

"Bang bang bang!" Just as the sound of artillery was passed, a row of neat musketeers walked out of the smoke and shot out a row of dense bullets.

After rushing through one "death line" after another, the Ming cavalry was about to approach the Rebel artillery position, but unexpectedly he was caught off guard by the Rebel musketeers.

"No, the sound of this bird gun is not right!" The experienced Ming army cavalry immediately discovered the problem.

The sound of the three-qian bird gun commonly used in this era is crisper and louder, while the sound of the new bird gun used by all the musketeers of the Rebel Army Xu is more dull and powerful.

Before the cavalry finished speaking, three or five thousand people fell down.

It turned out that the Ming army had both armoured and horses, ordinary three-qian bird guns, and Lumi guns were difficult to penetrate the armor at a long distance, resulting in effective killing.

At the beginning of the "Renchen Battle", the Ming army often "rely on its four hooves" to trample on the Japanese formation, making it impossible for Japanese pirates who are known as bird gunners to use it.

It was just that the "Renchen Battle" took place during the Wanli period, but now it is during the Chongzhen period.

The two have been separated by thirty or forty years, and both the war pattern and the war opponents have undergone earth-shaking changes.

The formerly sharp three-qian bird gun was loaded with seven cents of medicine under Xu Quan's command and one or two new bird guns.

"No, the thief's bird gun is so sharp!" Seeing his teammates around him leaning over, the originally fierce elite cavalry of the border army couldn't help but retreat.

"There is no way to retreat, only loyalty is the only way to be loyal!" Ming army immediately captured the soldiers' wavering mentality and quickly encouraged them.

The war mode in this era is completely different from the cold weapon era. The biggest damage caused by cavalry to attack infantry is in the last breath of fighting between the two sides.

If you retreat at this time, then the casualties caused by artillery and muskets will be worthless.

As time passed, the smoke that enveloped the rebels' positions dissipated a little.

The Ming cavalry could vaguely see the movements of the rebel camp, and at the same time, the rebels also saw the movements of the Ming cavalry.

The lookout hand standing on a high place once again reported the enemy's distance loudly: "The enemy is fifty steps away!"

"Left and left-wing artillery fired and set off fire!" The artillery battalion commander issued the last order of his own.

"Bangbangbang!" The more violent gun sounded.

However, this time the killing direction did not come from the front but from the left and right sides.

The Ming cavalry, which originally lined up in a horizontal line to reduce the killing of Rebel arms, was now connected to the enemy side, and compared with the two-wing artillery of the Rebel army, it turned into a column to receive the enemy.

Under the huge power of artillery, the column will take the enemy into an equal footing for the opponent.

Suddenly, the screams of the horses, the sound of cannons and the dense sound of bird guns were mixed together for a moment, forming a hell on earth.

The last time the rebel army fired artillery, he adopted the Ming army's favorite "public leader and grandson" loading method.

It is also double-loaded, and then it is loaded with a shotgun and a solid bomb.

This can cause surface damage and line damage.

There were several solid bullets in a row, which directly penetrated and destroyed more than 20 people and horses, and the Ming cavalry was killed.

"Ahhh, this is hell, so you can run for your life!" The Ming cavalry could no longer bear such unilateral slaughter and the plasma remains of the border. They couldn't help but scream and fled to the Ming army camp.

If one person escapes, a hundred people will escape; if one person collapses, there will be everywhere.

The Ming cavalry, who had originally been ready to die, was unable to contact the rebels in the end, and finally collapsed under wave after wave of attacks!

At this moment, I don’t know that the musketeers of the Rebel Army had already been released, and a long spear and axe driver were rushing out of the musketeers, really preparing to resist the upcoming cavalry attack.
Chapter completed!
