The Xia army opened fire, causing damage to the Qing army.
But it made the Qing army feel more at ease.
Because Xia Jun's gunshots were chaotic and mixed, the damage caused was still very limited. He fired from a distance of more than 300 meters, and he looked like a novice at first sight.
The morale of the Qing army was greatly boosted, and the charge became faster and faster.
At this moment, Xia Jun's second round of shooting arrived.
Although the distance was closer, the accuracy was improved. But precisely because the Qing army was closer, the Xia army soldiers were even more panicked.
As a result, the two offset each other, and the damage caused to the Qing army was still very limited.
Cui Xiaoyi, who was standing on the front line of command, always paid attention to the movements of the Qing army and clearly found that there was a big difference between the Qing army and North Korea.
When the Xia army opened fire, many Qing soldiers would crawl to the ground to avoid bullets.
This is a tactical move that the Qing army would never do in the past.
This shows that the Qing army's growth during the war was amazing.
Fortunately, the Manchu Qing did not have sufficient industrial strength and scientific research and development level. Otherwise, if the Qing army had the same weapons and equipment as the Xia army, it would be hard to say whether they would win or lose.
It was the Xia army's third round of shooting, and the Qing army had already entered within a hundred meters.
At this time, the sharp archers in the Qing army were ready to show off their power.
Bullets are raining here, bowstrings are vibrating there.
Obviously the Xia army fired more people, but the casualties on both sides were almost the same.
It is not difficult to see from this that the quality of soldiers has a great impact on combat.
"Don't panic! Take a deep breath! Keep your aim and strike again. Our firepower is stronger, we will definitely win."
Che Liliang's voice was almost hoarse from shouting, but he didn't dare to stop for fear that his morale would collapse.
He also personally raised his rifle to demonstrate to the soldiers.
"There is no need to raise the muzzle of the gun at a distance of one hundred meters. Keep your eyes and front sight at three o'clock and one line on the cover door. When you pull the trigger, hold it firmly with your shoulders and use force with the hand in front so that the muzzle of the gun will not jump up."
Bang……
As he pulled the trigger, a burst of green smoke came out of the gun. In the Qing army formation in the distance, a small officer fell to the ground.
It was obvious that the opponent had already made some evasive moves, but he still couldn't escape death.
Seeing the division commander showing off his power, the soldiers were shocked and burst into cheers.
With this kind of example, the soldiers stabilized their emotions very well and their shooting accuracy was greatly improved.
However, at this time, the Qing army had already rushed within 70 steps and was completely within the range of the bow and arrow.
The two sides began to fight hard against each other's firepower.
If the Xia army fires a round of muskets, the Qing army will fall many people. Similarly, if the Qing army fires a hail of arrows, the Xia army will also suffer heavy casualties.
When the Qing army marched north, they did not carry musketeers.
After all, Wu Zhenchaoha is still a relatively precious unit in the Qing army today, and will not be recruited unless it is a large-scale battle.
Therefore, the main long-range weapon in the hands of the Qing army was bows and arrows.
But it has to be said that the era of bows and arrows has begun to pass.
As the range, accuracy, and rate of fire of muskets increase, bows and arrows gradually become ineffective.
In the initial confrontation, the Qing army's bows and arrows were faster than the Xia army's muskets. However, after the Xia army's soldiers stabilized, their formations rotated back and forth more smoothly.
The Qing army's archers lost strength rapidly, and the balance between the two sides began to reverse rapidly.
If the soldiers of the Xia army were not all novices, they might have started a counterattack at this time.
The Qing army rushed within fifty steps, and it was time for the two sides to compete in a show of will.
And this is also Xia Jun's most vulnerable link.
Seeing the people next to them being shot to death, some Xia Army soldiers finally became afraid and couldn't help but start to retreat.
"No retreat!"
Choi Hyo-il's strict orders did not have much effect.
At this time, it is no longer possible to rely on orders.
One of them started to retreat, and the others were affected and thought something had happened, so they all started to retreat.
At this moment, the front line that was barely maintained collapsed immediately.
All the soldiers ran backwards, but fortunately no one dropped their weapons.
Cui Xiaoyi sighed helplessly, turned his head and looked back, and found that Long Chenghai, the deputy commander of the rear area, had already led other troops to establish a solid defense line. He breathed a sigh of relief and retreated with the rebels.
This was the first time since the Qing army fought against the Xia army that the Xia army retreated.
The soldiers of the Eight Banners who had been holding back their anger were all brave and pursued them without waiting for the general's orders.
However, during the chase, the Xia army soldiers had the advantage.
These new recruits have little fighting ability and willpower, but they have exercised well since joining the army and are well-nourished, giving them endless strength.
On the contrary, the soldiers of the Qing army were unable to catch up because their heavy armor was weighing them down.
After the distance between the two sides was widened, the Xia army soldiers were not so panicked. Seeing the guidance ahead, they quickly retreated from both sides.
These defeated soldiers are not useless.
Through their battle, the comrades behind them felt the battlefield.
The formation prepared at the back is more complete, and the soldiers' mentality is relatively peaceful.
The most important thing is that these soldiers can see with their own eyes what kind of mystery is hidden behind them.
After the defeated troops in the front retreated to the rear, the Qing army appeared in front of them.
When they saw that the Xia army still had countless complete formations, these Qing troops vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Sure enough, before Xia Jun could raise his gun, the ground shook violently.
Accompanied by the roar of the angry dragon, countless artillery shells passed over the Xia army's array and smashed into the Qing army.
Clouds of smoke rose from the ground, and more than a dozen Qing soldiers around him were blown away. Broken arms and limbs were flying everywhere, and if they hit anyone, there would be another round of casualties.
The roar of hundreds of light artillery gave the Qing army a fatal blow.
Thousands of people who were charging were wiped out of thin air.
The rest, no matter how brave they are, know that this battle is unwinnable.
All veterans must be extremely smart. When they see something they cannot do, they can run away faster than anyone else.
This time, it was the Qing army's turn to be defeated.
"go ahead!"
Cui Xiaoyi and Cha Liliang took over the new troops and began to command the oppression.
However, they did not dare to let the soldiers charge at full speed. They only needed to maintain a good formation and slowly press forward.
Anyway, the front is a triangle surrounded by two rivers. The Qing army has no way to retreat and will definitely be squeezed to death in the end.
The news of the failure at the front came, which greatly disappointed Mandahai and Suohai.
"Zhengzheng, Prince Dorobatulu ran away. The Mongols robbed the ship and headed to the south bank."
Mandahai paused for a moment before he realized that the so-called Prince Doropatulu was Manzhu practicing rituals.
"What do you want to eat in Samushka? Why did you let people go there?"
Although the retreat plan had been made long ago, it was obvious that the army could not retreat randomly.
As a result, the Mongols didn't say hello, and even robbed the ship and ran away first.
What should the Qing troops still on the north bank do?
