In an instant, phalanxes appeared one after another!
The soldiers of the First Guards Corps formed a square formation, and all the soldiers' muskets were filled with bullets.
There are four such square arrays in total.
Behind him are cannons arranged neatly!
"kill!"
When Duduo saw the Ming troops lined up, his eyes suddenly glowed red.
The cavalry thrust instantly!
"Boom boom boom boom!"
The cannon roared.
At this time, the First Army of the Prince's Guards actually started to press forward on foot!
Five hundred steps!
Three hundred steps!
Two hundred steps!
shot!
"Bang bang bang!"
Rows of gunshots rang out, and at this time, the row of cavalry in front all fell off their horses.
Then the second row and the third row.
The sound of gunfire never stopped, and the sound of gunfire kept ringing out. Soldiers fell from the ground one by one, and kept falling.
Ejection!
Plus artillery bombardment!
The soldiers who had just suffered a huge blow could no longer maintain their high morale! They soon began to flee behind them.
At this time, Duduo couldn't stop him at all, because everyone was thinking about how to escape!
"Bang bang bang!"
There are constant gunshots behind you!
"run!"
Duduo couldn't help it at this time and shouted to the people around him.
In an instant, everyone started to run away behind them!
Wanma began to run wildly in one direction.
The speed was so fast that the guns and guns could soon be unable to keep up with the horses.
"Stop!"
Ji Yi ordered to the soldiers around him, and soon, everyone around him stopped.
Looking at the horses not far away, Lin Yi showed a trace of pity in his eyes.
It's a pity that the shooting speed of muskets and artillery is still a bit slow. Otherwise, the cavalry in front of me would have been wiped out long ago!
It's impossible to escape!
There was a thoughtful look in Lin Yi's eyes. This battle formation was written by His Royal Highness in the drill.
His Royal Highness the Prince stated that this kind of spear array is very powerful.
Lin Yi thought about trying it out, using this kind of military formation in conjunction with cannons. Sure enough, the first time he used it, he achieved a very good effect!
Thinking of this, Lin Yi showed a satisfied look on his face.
But we need to discuss with His Highness the Prince to see if these artillery and muskets can be changed into rapid-fire ones, or modified to reload ammunition faster!
Also, can this kind of front-loading warhead be changed to breech-loading, because the reloading speed is still a bit too slow if it is front-loaded.
When facing cavalry, there will still be some problems.
These thoughts were flashing in Ji Yi's mind.
"Clear the battlefield!"
Ji Yi looked calm and spoke to the soldiers on the side.
"Yes! General!"
The surrounding soldiers quickly began to clean up the battlefield.
Other soldiers also began to maintain their firearms. Lin Yi was very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of his unit. His problems were obvious, and so were his advantages.
The First Army of the Prince's Guards itself was born out of the Shenji Battalion. Regardless of how bad the Shenji Battalion was at that time, it was still the Shenji Battalion, and at least its familiarity with firearms was far superior to that of the ordinary army.
This is one of them.
The second is that His Royal Highness the Prince himself attaches great importance to firearms, but the First Army of the Prince's Guards has expertise in firearms.
Lin Yi had heard His Highness the Prince say before that it is better to specialize in one thing than to be good at everything. Since the cavalry of the Prince's Guards First Army cannot be compared with others, the infantry battle formations are also average.
In this case, Ji Yi decided that instead of being distracted by other methods of warfare, it would be better to just use firearms!
As long as the firearm is powerful enough, you may be able to find a different path!
Therefore, he has been thinking of ways to make all soldiers proficient in firearms.
According to the words of Cao Dian and His Royal Highness, he began to change his tactics.
Taking advantage of the tacit understanding and discipline developed by the First Army of the Prince's Guards for so long, Lin Yi invented a brand new strategy to disperse all the troops.
All the artillery was hidden, and then the entire army dispersed into small units and began to fire at the army from all directions.
This method of warfare is very deadly for those who rely on discipline and cavalry!
Especially when there are equal numbers of people.
It simply captured his vitality!
You must know that the reason why the cavalry is so powerful is that, in addition to its super ability to rush into battle, they are gathered together, like sharp knives, with the power to break through everything.
The cavalry is scattered and surrounded by muskets and artillery. They are simply looking for death!
This is their lifeblood!
Therefore, Duduo would rather escape than divide his troops to deal with Lin Yi's army!
Once the cavalry disperses, the danger is greatly reduced, and when facing musketeers!
It’s simply looking for death!
Therefore, this resulted in the rout scene in front of us.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi's eyes showed a hint of contemplation.
This is the first time this tactic has been put into practice. They will definitely find ways to crack this tactic in the future, so they have to think about it again!
Thinking of this, Lin Yi was thinking in his eyes.
And on the other side.
After Duduo escaped dozens of miles away.
"Count the troops!"
Duduo said to the guard next to him.
After saying that, Duduo looked at the soldiers next to him, his heart sank slightly, and his face looked a little unsightly.
Those gun volleys just now, as well as the artillery fire behind them, caused a lot of casualties!
If I had known earlier, I would not have gone back...
Thinking of this, Duduo sighed slightly in his heart, but there was no way, it had already happened!
"Your Majesty, we still have more than 5,700 people and more than 6,000 horses left. We have lost..."
The guard next to him had a trace of hesitation in his eyes and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
"Okay, I get it, no need to say it!"
With a hint of irritation on his face, Duduo spoke to the bodyguard on the side.
Five thousand men and horses were lost!
This loss is simply unbearable!
The entire Eight Banners, Zhengbai Banner, absolutely cannot bear such a huge loss!
But right now, I really can’t go back to take revenge directly, I can only go back to recover my life first!
Thinking of this, Duduo sighed slightly.
He slowly left this place with the remaining defeated soldiers.
After Lin Yi finished cleaning the battlefield, he quickly asked the messenger to inform His Royal Highness of his victory results.
And when Duduo returned to the capital, he did not deliberately conceal the defeat.
"Jin Yi wins??"
Zhu Cixi stood up from his chair, with excitement on his face, and said excitedly to the messenger next to him.
