The soldiers of the Qing Yi Army launched an attack on the right wing of the Zheng Army. Long Zongwu was shocked to see the iron barrels of the Liu Yi Army, which looked like large squatting cannons, exerting such power.

When the army was stunned, Liu Yi's Qing Yi army advanced forward. The attacking Ming army soldiers consciously gave way.

The Ming army that had been attacking up the hillside also began to retreat. Liu Yi said loudly to Long Zongwu: "Your Majesty, please clear the battlefield to allow Qingyi's army to fight." Long Zongwu came to his senses and wanted to see the new army.

The Ming army on the right began to shrink back, allowing Qing Yi's army to push forward.

At the Chinese army's position, Zheng Zhilong's iron artillery team had caused huge casualties to the Chinese army. The archers had already gone up to fire arrows desperately. When the infantry under his command was preparing to charge, Liu Yi's artillery bombardment interrupted the rhythm of the attack here.

, the Ming army, which was about to collapse, quickly disengaged under Hou Feng's order.

, retreated and exited the shooting range of the Zheng Army's iron artillery team. Yuan Chonghuan saw it in the telescope and sighed secretly: "It's so dangerous, the Chinese army almost collapsed." Du Hongyu and Chen Yanling next to them also secretly wiped it.

There were beads of sweat on his forehead, and he realized that the shirt underneath was soaked with cold sweat.

Most of the Ming army was retreating, but Liu Yi's troops on the right wing did not retreat but instead advanced. Liu Yi sent Liu Jin to notify Long Zongwu and asked Long Zongwu's Anqing cavalry to stand by. After Qing Yi's army defeated the enemy's right wing, all the troops

The cavalry were all killed and the enemy was defeated. General Long Zongwu was doubtful. How could a few hundred men compete with thousands of enemy troops on the right? But after all, Long Zongwu was Liu Yi's superior officer.

If the new army fell into his hands, he would not be able to explain it to Yuan Chonghuan and Hou Feng. He decided to observe for a while. If the new army was defeated, his cavalry would immediately dispatch to rescue the new army. Thinking of this, he would not hesitate to come.

Liu Jin, who reported the news, said: "Go and tell Mr. Liu not to rush in. If there is danger, I will send troops to rescue you." Liu Jin took the order and ran towards Qing Yi's army.

In order to maintain the orderliness of the queue, Liu Yi asked all the soldiers to advance at a trot, approaching to about 80 steps before attacking the enemy. The cavalry of the Qingyi Army also separated from the Anqing Guards and appeared in Liu Yi's infantry formation.

On the right rear side, Liu Yi's face was as dark as water, and he was concentrating on commanding his army.

Liu Yi's thunder cannon fired three salvos. Dozens of large cone-shaped explosive packets fell on the dense Zheng army's left formation. The powerful shock wave and flying gravel nails caused at least 10 damage to Zheng Zhilong's left wing troops.

There were more than 1,000 casualties, and the entire left wing of 5,000 troops, led by Yang San, was hit by thunder cannons.

When the explosion hit, the formation was completely chaotic. The soldiers were dizzy by the shock wave. Many soldiers who were closer to the explosion point rolled over like zombies from the broken limbs and arms falling from the sky. They seemed to be drunk, with their soles floating.

Staggeringly, he searched for the weapons that had been thrown away.

Yang San himself was knocked to the ground by the frightened horse. He got up and shook his head, wiping away the dirt from his head and face, thinking: "Damn it, where did the officers and soldiers get such powerful firearms? I am a soldier in Zhejiang."

I never heard of it." Then he looked at his troops and horses, and saw only chaotic formations, everywhere.

They were all soldiers running around with their heads in their hands, and they heard neat shouts in the distance, "We must win! We must win!" He looked up and was surprised. An army of officers and soldiers were arranged in a neat formation and were approaching his position. And his soldiers were in front of him.

In this state, he could not make effective resistance at all, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

At this moment, the rumble of horse hoofs came to his ears, "Don't panic, old five, I'm here to help you!" The person who came was none other than Zheng Hongkui. It turned out that after Zheng Jun's left wing was hit by a thunder cannon, Zheng Zhilong also

After seeing the situation on Yang San's side through the telescope and seeing his military formation being bombed into a mess, Feng Chengshi immediately

He immediately suggested to Zheng Zhilong that he immediately send the newly formed thousand cavalry to resist for a while, so that Yang San could reorganize an effective defense and avoid the fate of the collapse of the left wing. Zheng Zhilong has always been a decisive person in killing, and after hearing Feng Chengshi's suggestion

Immediately summon Zheng Hongkui and ask him to lead a thousand cavalry to fly to Yang San's aid.

Zheng Hongkui immediately ordered a thousand cavalry to come over. When Yang San was in a panic, he suddenly heard a familiar voice calling him. When he turned around, he saw that it was Zheng Hongkui who was leading the cavalry to support him. He immediately made up his mind and called out

The battalion generals around him immediately formed a team to fight again. The battalion generals listened to the order and immediately began to summon their soldiers to return to formation, and Zheng Hongkui did not agree.

Yang San replied that he was just leading the troops to attack the Qing Yi army that was coming up. Zheng Hongkui saw that the Ming army that came up only had a few hundred people, and he couldn't help but despise it. Let this Ming army be the training target of the newly formed cavalry. He

He yelled loudly: "Kill the officers and soldiers!" The cavalry raised their weapons, accelerated their horses and rushed over, "Kill the officers and soldiers!" "Kill the officers and soldiers!"

A cold look flashed across Liu Yi's eyes. The thieves who do not know how to live or die, let you see the power of the new army today. Liu Yi ordered: "All units stop advancing! Prepare to fight!"

"Stop advancing!" "Stop advancing!" The Jin army, Tao Zong and other hundreds of households loudly conveyed the order. The trumpeter took out his trumpet and blew a long single tone, "Di————" "Roar!" The soldiers shouted

He stopped with a roar. The next moment, according to the formation that had been trained countless times, all the sword and shield soldiers arranged their large shields closely together to form a shield wall.

They took out the loaded musket and bent down half-crouched behind the big shield. Their big shield was not rectangular, but oval, so that when the shields were close to each other, they could leave a gap in the upper part.

The Fire Gun Team can shoot, although the protective power of the shield array is sacrificed to a certain extent, but this is a design that can maximize the advantages of combining cold weapons and firearms.

Although when the army was first formed, they used large shields that were modified from the remaining shields in the treasury. However, after considering this aspect, Liu Yi later ordered the Ordnance Institute to make two hundred oval-shaped shields.

Large shield. After experiments, it has been proved that this large shield is very effective.

The fire gun soldiers stood in four rows according to the training pattern, with each row carrying a general flag. Type 26 fire guns were rolled down from their shoulders in dense numbers. They were waiting for orders from their superiors. The last spear company also abandoned the flying thunder.

Cannons, pick up long spears and line up behind the firecrackers, ready to fight in close combat if the cavalry breaks through.

Zheng Hongkui's cavalry was less than 300 steps away from Liu Yi. The entire battlefield fell into deathly silence after the disengagement. Only Liu Yi's hundreds of Ming troops and Zheng Hongkui's cavalry fought on the flanks of the battlefield. Tens of thousands of people all watched with bated breath.

Two armies about to collide.

Zheng Zhilong was full of confidence and was talking to Feng Chengshi. In his opinion, if thousands of cavalry attacked hundreds of infantry, there was no reason not to win. All the generals of the Zheng Army had this mentality. But Yuan Chonghuan was indeed a little nervous.

, he had received a report from Long Zongwu that Liu Yi commanded the Qingyi Army to attack the enemy's left wing alone, and Liu Yi was full of confidence and acted.

As the commander of an army, he should not let a single unit take risks. However, as a normal person, he also had curiosity and wanted to see the performance of this army from the bottom of his heart, so he ordered Long Zongwu to support Liu Yi at any time.

, on the other hand, all Du Hongyu's servants were asked to attack and join Long Zongwu's cavalry to enhance the power of the assault.

The cavalry was two hundred steps away from Qing Yi's army. "Get ready to fight! Raise the muskets and aim!" "Di————" the bugle sounded, and the musketeers raised their 26th postures one after another and aimed at the front. One hundred and fifty steps

, Liu Yi shouted loudly: "Steady, just like

Just like in training, listen to my orders!" One hundred steps, "Hold still!" The gunmen held their breath and watched the cavalry getting closer and closer in front of them. Li Fu and Ma Jingliang, who were new recruits in Wuhu County, were lucky enough to be in the same group.

A company of muskets, but

They were in different small banners. Although they had trained countless times, performed some tasks of escorting goods, and fought against small groups of bandits, this was the first time they participated in such a large-scale battle. They held the fingers of the gun.

Their joints were turning white from pinching, and the weather was hot. They were all wearing two layers of thick cotton armor, and they felt as if they had just stepped out of a bathhouse. Their clothes were soaked with sweat, and beads of sweat rolled down their faces, but they still gritted their teeth.

Aiming at the cavalry rushing forward.

At eighty paces, Liu Yi suddenly shouted, "Fire!"

Tao Zong and Wang Hao shouted at the top of their lungs almost simultaneously: "Fire!"

"Beep, beep, beep!" Three short trumpet sounds, bang, bang, bang, the 26th style of the first row of firecrackers suddenly opened fire. Eighty steps was equivalent to more than 100 meters in later generations. This was originally the firecrackers at that time.

It has the ultimate range, but because the Type 26 has improved the manufacturing process of the barrel and ammunition, the range can reach a hundred steps. Eighty steps is already an effective killing distance and can break through a single layer of armor.

Because Zheng Hongkui's cavalry were Zheng Zhilong's treasures, Zheng Zhilong specially issued a set of cotton armor seized from Yu Zigao to each one. In order to distinguish between the enemy and ourselves, they only wore pirate's unique black vest uniforms on the outside. As for the helmets,

Not everyone has one, some wear bowl helmets, some wear infantry helmets, and some just wear black turbans.

The cavalry roared and charged, because they were still eighty steps away from Qing Yi's army and saw that the fluttering sun and moon flag was still far away from them, so they did not waste their energy and made evasive gestures on their horses. They had already

I saw the officers and soldiers pointing their guns at them, but according to their thinking,

Inertia, the officers and soldiers usually fired their cannons at about fifty steps, so the cavalry were waiting for Zheng Hongkui's order. But what they didn't expect was that the other side opened fire like that. A burst of dense white smoke flashed by, and the cavalry's pupils suddenly shrank.
