Chapter seven hundred and seventieth beyond one's own capabilities
Every Qing cavalry sprinting out howls like beasts. They held up their weapons, holding up their hands, kicking and hitting the war horses regardless of whether the war horse would be scrapped after the war.
If the weapons at this time are listed in the ranking list and the one that scares the Qing army the most will be the firearm. The soldiers of the Qing army were not afraid of facing the melee, but the firearms could not be stopped and could be launched from afar, making people die in a frustration. This made the Qing soldiers unable to bear it.
Now, there are so many Ming army cannons opposite, and there are so many musketeers arranged in front of the formation, so these Qing soldiers who are rushing to the formation already know that they will be facing a rain of bullets, so they have to accelerate, accelerate, and accelerate again, and want to rush through this death zone earlier.
But the artillery of the Runing Army first made these fanatical minds clear. More than a dozen shells flew into the cavalry array and knocked down six or seventy cavalry at once. The dense cavalry array of the Qing army could indeed increase the impact force, but also increase the lethality of the shells.
However, the torrent of the Qing army immediately submerged the people and horses who fell to the ground, and the cavalry and cavalry formed closely again, gradually filling the gap made by the shells just now.
This time, the Runing Army fired fewer artillery than last time. Because the front of the Qing cavalry array was very wide, one-third of the Runing Army's artillery was equipped with shotguns, preparing to exert its power when the Qing army rushed to the front line at close range.
Before the Qing army rushed into a hundred steps, the Runing Army's artillery fired two rounds. At this time, the Runing Army's musketeers lined up in five rows. They were all very calm and kept blowing their fuses, waiting for the orders of the firearm commander.
The firearm commander standing between the musketeers' queue was also extremely calm. He was estimating the distance. When the Qing army's cavalry were about 150 steps apart, the firearm commander finally shouted:
"Check the firearms!"
“Rise the first row!”
"Five rows of round shots, prepare-!"
...
The orders were passed on one by one, and the musketeers were following the orders and following the orders, they were moving step by step. Seeing that the Qing cavalry finally rushed into a hundred steps. The commander of the firearm commander immediately waved forward and shouted: "Let's fire!"
"Boom--!" A piece of smoke immediately spread in front of the square formation of the Runing Army.
The Qing cavalry rushing in the first row knew the power of the muskets. They all shrank their bodies behind the horses as much as possible, trying to avoid the shooting of the muskets. However, the heavy muskets of the Runing Army were quite powerful, and immediately allowed the Qing army to see what a firearm was.
The Qing cavalry who rushed in the front seemed to be hit hard by a sledgehammer. The ones who hit the man were pretty good, and at most they were all over. But the ones who hit the horses lost control. The horses who were shot were all jumping around, causing chaos in the array.
The horses that were shot either stood up in pain or knelt forward, but the inertia in running wildly is extremely high. When horses do such actions, they often roll to the ground with the person and the horse. In this process, people are already covered in blood and blood. But before they can get up, they will be directly trampled by the iron hooves behind them into flesh and blood.
After the first row of muskets were fired, the front row of muskets immediately turned to the left and ran back along the passage between the two rows of muskets. The second row of muskets fired again. Then there was the third row, the fourth row...
When the muskets fired, it seemed like there was a wall, blocking the Qing cavalry at a distance of 90 steps. On this line, more and more Qing soldiers were lying down, and these corpses were gradually piled up high, blocking the subsequent Qing cavalry's rushing forward.
Abatai, who was watching the battle in the back, had his eyelids twitching. He never expected to face such fierce firepower. Seeing the white-armored soldiers of the Qing army ahead and fell to the ground, Abatai felt a little painful. These were all the elites of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty!
But when Abatai was about to open his mouth and ask the Qing army to stop rushing, the sound of fire from the muskets in the Runing army array suddenly stopped. Abatai was immediately ecstatic. He ignored whether his screams would be heard by the Qing army in front and shouted to the front: "Minggou can only shoot once. Take advantage of this opportunity to rush quickly!"
But before he finished speaking, he seemed to be slapping Abatai in the face, and the sound of the fire of the Runing Army's musket wheels sounded again.
It turned out that this was a pause after the musketeers of the Runing Army ended the five rounds of shooting, but Abatai misunderstood that they would not fire anymore. But this misunderstanding made Abatai dumbfounded and delayed the order to stop the Qing army from rushing to the formation.
However, taking advantage of the pause of the Runing Army's wheel shooting, the Qing army rushed into seventy steps. However, as the sound of fire guns sounded again, a wall of death was formed at seventy steps. The white-armored Qing soldiers who were rushing in the front row were indeed brave. After suffering such huge casualties, they were still charging forward one after another.
"Let them stop!" Abatai finally woke up. At this time, the Ru Ning army's muskets had fired four groups of twenty rounds in succession. The corpses everywhere had already split the Qing army that was rushing forward. Some of them had lost their minds and were still rushing forward; while the other part was already trembling, they tied the reins and did not dare to move forward any more.
At this time, the Runing Army also ended the round shooting. After all, the array of the Qing cavalry was too wide, and they formed an arc and rushed into the middle. The Qing cavalry on the front had basically been cleaned up, but there were always some fish that were missing on the net. Therefore, the musketeers ran behind the square formation, and the square formation also bloomed with gun flowers, ready to welcome the Qing army's collision.
So the remaining Qing cavalry shouted and rushed towards the formation. "Bang bang bang--!" A very dull sound of artillery bombardment, the cannons fired shots, and then "Swoosh swosh swosh--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The remaining Qing cavalry fell to the ground one after another. With continuous shooting, there were only a dozen Qing soldiers who could rush to the front of the Ru Ning army. Facing the gun forest standing in front of the square formation, the dozen Qing soldiers were already crazy. They all clamped the horse's belly hard and pierced the spurs on the heels of the horse's boots into the horse's belly. When the horse hurt, they rushed towards the gun forest.
However, this kind of collision in groups of three or three could not shake the square formation at all. "Puff!" few times, the dozen Qing soldiers and men and horses hung on the gun forest, and the square formation of the Runing Army was only slightly shaken.
The Qing army's formation was silent. Just once the rushing forward, seven or eight hundred cavalry did not come back. The corpses of a few dozen cavalrymen and horses seemed to be mocking the Qing army's overestimation.
