Lord of Ming Dynasty

After firing the guns, the more than 50 gunners ran with all their might, and the first row was almost ready to be loaded.

The second row has just started filling.

This time, the enemy killed more than a dozen people and knocked down a dozen people by his own people.

In other words, basically in this wave of enemy attacks, they lost more than 100 cavalry.

30 m.

The first row opened fire.

At such a short distance, the enemy's cavalry was stunned, and a hundred cavalrymen were left behind. Another thirty cavalrymen couldn't stop their horses, were knocked down, and their own people trampled to death.

The first row of soldiers began to run desperately, and some even threw away their muskets.

This time they have to run 30 meters.

The second row had just been loaded, and they only ran a distance of 15 meters, just passing the second row.

After the second row fired, the enemy's formation had been diluted.

When the second row ran to the back, the enemy's bows and arrows arrived, and the second row and the first row ran slowly and were inevitably shot and killed.

Fifty or sixty people in the third row fired.

The enemy's cavalry was beaten through. In the entire attack route, more than 300 local cavalry were killed and wounded, and more than 100 horses died.

"Infantry attack." Zhang Qiang saw that the gunners in the first row had just run into position and had no time to reload. The remaining cavalry of the enemy had already rushed over with their sabers brandishing. He immediately ordered the infantry to rush up and fight the enemy. The rest retreated up the hillside.

In this wave of attacks, the enemy killed or injured 20 cavalry, he killed or injured more than 60 infantry, and more than [-] musketeers. Cut it over, but it just cut across to the position where the soldiers in the third row were just now.

"Free fire." A loud and clear voice told the musketeers that they saw the enemy firing freely and did not have to wait for the officer's order.

So the fast-handed firecrackers had already loaded and fired immediately. Some of the enemy cavalry were hit or not, and they were lucky to escape.

The entire battlefield unfolded at the bottom of the hillside.

Some gunfire soldiers had already run to the first trench, and a dozen gunfire soldiers began to load. The enemy's cavalry bypassed the battle area and rushed towards them. The scattered infantry came down, but a few cavalry rushed forward.

Two firecrackers jumped out of the trench and drew their waist knives to fight.

But without exception, they all died in battle.

But they buy time for others.

Among the options of firing, loading, running, fighting, and fighting, some people lost their lives, and some successfully killed the enemy, and then were killed by the enemy.

"Papapa" a dozen firecrackers in the first trench finally fired their first shot.

A small group of enemy cavalry was shot, and they successfully rescued a dozen gunfire soldiers in the second row. A dozen gunfire soldiers ran towards them frantically, staggered into the trench, and joined their team in.

After a while, the first row of firecrackers who went around from the side ran to the trenches on the second floor. Some firecrackers continued to load and shoot on the battlefield, and some drew their knives to fight the enemy hand-to-hand.

When the two rows of gunfire soldiers fired again, more gunfire soldiers and some surviving infantry retreated into the first trench.

Zhang Qiang and the others had already retreated to the third trench. Apart from the two cavalrymen beside him, there were only a few cavalrymen who could not fight to protect Longwu and the others, and there was no one else.

Some of the cavalry wanted to go around the side, charge up to the high ground, and flank them from behind, but the terrain would not allow them to do so. They began the difficult trek and were called and killed by the free-firing musketeers.

More firecrackers scattered on the battlefield returned to the team and established positions on both sides of the second trench, maybe not many, three to 40 people on each side, but they successfully covered dozens of people in the first trench.

They began to retreat upwards.

The enemy's cavalry crossed the first trench, but left their bodies behind and around the first trench.

This is not a place where war horses can run up.

The only place they can get through is a narrow passage.

Zhang Qiang was silently counting, "130 firecracker casualties, in exchange for [-] enemy casualties, not bad."

There were still several hunting cavalry and a few infantrymen on the battlefield, fifty or sixty gunfire soldiers were fighting the enemy hand to hand, and more than 30 gunfire soldiers ran over in a thrilling sea of ​​enemy cavalry.

Fighting with the enemy from time to time on the way.

In the end, only seven or eight firecrackers ran through the first trench with injuries, and were picked up by the firecrackers from the second trench. They were emphasized by Zhang and continued to fight on the edge of the third trench to cover themselves. .

Chapter 1 Thirteen Ambush Attack

Even Zhang Qiang's deceitful behavior, relying on his own losses, to maim the enemy's desperate behavior, caused heavy losses to the enemy, and it only caused the enemy to lose more than 700 cavalry.

The enemy's forces are still strong.

But the bad thing about the enemy is that their forces are too scattered.

After being unable to break up Zhang Qiang's formation, they attacked in all directions frantically and detoured far away to attack Zhang Qiang and the others.

One hundred people here, dozens of people there, three to four hundred people in front, some are still chasing those deserters, fighting with the recalcitrant firearms soldiers.

There were dozens of people chasing and killing a hunting cavalry.

Just when Ruan Jie felt that something was wrong and that he had been deceived, he suddenly heard the ground trembling.

Looking back, more than 400 cavalry rushed down from the hillside not far away, dozens of them rushed to his side, and the brigade rushed towards the brigade of cavalry who was attacking the position.

The distance of more than 500 meters came in an instant.

His central army was nothing more than a dozen bodyguard cavalry and dozens of cavalry covering it were penetrated by the opponent.

Before Ruan Jie could react, the [-] cavalry faced the [-] cavalry who hastily turned back to fight. When the [-] cavalry came into contact, dozens of cavalry were shot down, and then they were shot by bows and arrows. The cavalry fell from their horses and was charged again by the spear cavalry, and the entire cavalry formation was messed up.

Zhang Qiang shouted from behind, "Come on."

More than 100 surviving gunfire soldiers jumped out of the trench and ran for more than ten meters. They fired a volley at the back of the cavalry, and fifty or sixty cavalry fell off their horses.

The infantry and the gunners without guns rushed towards the cavalry, brandishing their waist knives.

The brigade of cavalry charged twice, and after defeating Ruan Jie's central army, they turned around and rushed towards another enemy cavalry team of more than 100 cavalry.

Waving the saber, this time, more than 30 enemy cavalry fell from their horses, and more than 30 of Zhang Qiang's cavalry fell from their horses.

"Papa papa" firecrackers sounded sporadically on the battlefield, but every time it sounded less than a minute, more than a dozen cavalrymen fell off their horses.

After an hour, the enemy cavalry found that they could no longer gather together and charged Zhang Qiang and the others with a large force.

For a while, the enemy cavalry began to flee.

Yang Yangyang led the cavalry in a fierce pursuit of the enemy's cavalry.
