Chapter 1019 Desperate Charge

The breeze blew, and the white smoke was blown away, revealing the Jin army front opposite.

At this moment, when the Ming army musketeers were standing, the first row of soldiers raised their guns high amid the shouts of the officers. On the front line that was several miles long, nearly 10,000 muskets were laid flat and the hammer was pried open.

The soldiers of the Jin army who had just finished shooting a shot looked at the Ming army who was silent thirty steps away, and their armor and muskets were so clear.

The black muzzle seemed to hit his forehead, which made people feel frightened.

The soldiers of Jin army who reacted quickly retreated in fear, while the second row of soldiers stepped forward in panic. The soldiers had just put the muskets flat, and a series of gunfires sounded.

On the Ming army line, there were like stars flashing, spraying out countless gun flames, and white smoke bands spread from the center of each array to the two wings. Then, each smoke band was connected, instantly forming a white dragon that lasted several miles.

Amid the thunderous gunshots, the Jin army, who had just raised the musket on the opposite side, had their armor torn apart by violent projectiles, and bloody flowers bloomed on their chests, and their bodies fell to the ground like mowed grass.

The remaining Jin army was frightened by the Ming army's volleys, and the musketeers hurriedly fired their guns. Some even forgot to shoot, so they hurriedly retreated, trying to hide behind others.

The Jin army in the first row retreated in panic, and most of the Jin army in the second row continued to load. Before they could react, they had already become the first row.

At this time, the second column of the Ming army stepped forward and picked up the musket again. Facing the Ming army's muzzle, the Jin army was still pounding ammunition with a strip of ammunition. They were so scared that they felt as if they were stripped naked. Some people turned around and retreated, while some people hurriedly pulled out the musket and raised the musket to prepare for shooting. The front line was immediately in chaos.

"Bang bang bang" Ming army musketeers fired again. The soldiers pulled the trigger hard, and the hammer hit the steel sickle. There was a loud noise in the chamber of the gun. The musket shook backwards, and countless projectiles roared into the chaotic queue of the Zhou army.

The Zhou soldiers who raised the musket and turned back were shot one after another. As the puffed projectiles entered the body, the Zhou soldiers in front fell to the ground, and the bodies formed a thick black line on the ground.

At this time, the third row of Zhou troops reacted. Before they had time to load them, they immediately shouted and retreated. The Zhou army's musketeers were crowded in panic.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiang's expression changed drastically. In his shocked gaze, the third row of the Ming army's musketeers stepped forward and raised their guns to aim. The elite musketeers under his command collapsed like a collapsed river bank under the muzzle of the Ming army.

"Stay! You can win!" Jiang Xiang shouted loudly, but the rhythm of the Jin army's loading and shooting was completely disrupted. The musketeers who did not crash, faced the Ming army's muzzle. At the current close distance, the huge pressure caused the Jin army to collapse completely and run back desperately.

The Ming army's shooting came again, and the projectiles swept across the earth like strong wind. The retreating Jin soldiers fell down in an instant, and layers of corpses covered the earth.

At Tongguan, Wu Sangui kept watching, Ming on the southern front of the battlefield, and the musket showdown between the two armies of Jin.

During the Battle of Xingyang, Wu Sangui had seen the power of the Ming army's musketeers, and this time he was still shocked.

"Jiang Xiang is defeated!" Wu Sangui came back to his senses from the earth-shaking musket volley, with a disappointed expression and a regret in his heart. Jiang Xiang was unable to turn the tide and change the situation of the battle.

At this time, Hong Chengchou pointed at the front of Guancheng and exclaimed again, "No, Mandahai can't rush!"

When the Jin army's musketeers were defeated, Mandahai, who led tens of thousands of cavalry to charge, was also in trouble.

The Manchu cavalry flew into three waves, broke through the blockade of the Ming cavalry, and rushed straight to the hollow formation group of the Ming army.

This formation was used by the Ming army many times, and the Manchu cavalry suffered more than once. They knew that the hollow formation group restrained the cavalry, but it was not completely without a strategy to deal with it.

That is to bombard the formation with cannons or fire with muskets, disrupting the formation. The cavalry did not go through the passages between the hollow formation groups, but directly used heavy cavalry to destroy the hollow square formations.

Under the bombardment of the Zhou army's artillery formation, the first wave of cavalry broke through two square formations in a row, the second wave of cavalry broke through one square formation, and the last wave of cavalry broke through one square formation, as the cavalry penetrated into the formation group and the distance was longer, the Zhou army's artillery formation could not be accurately supported, and the Manchu cavalry began to rush.

At this time, the Manchurian cavalry after entering the formation were bombarded by the Ming army muskets and artillery on all sides. The heavy cavalry was completely lost during the process of hedging the cavalry and attacking the square formation.

The light cavalry shot with muskets, and the grenade exploded, hitting the bayonet of the Ming army's oblique stabbing. The war horse was stabbed to death, and the cavalry was dragged off the war horse and hacked to death.

Mandahai was galloping in the smoke of gunpowder, his vision was unclear, and there were muskets and explosions around him. The cavalry, who had suffered heavy losses, were unable to continue to attack, bypassing the front of the square formation and rushing into the gap between the two square formations.

"Bang bang bang" The Ming army in the two square formations immediately raised their guns and fired their guns, and the Manchu cavalry passing through the gap fell to the ground like a date.

Fortunately, this was already the last group of formations. Mandahai and others rushed out of the gap, and in front of them was a large open area that was vacant after the Ming army charged.

This made Mandahai happy, but just as the Manchu cavalry came out, the Ming cavalry rectified their formation and rushed from behind to kill the Manchu cavalry that had come out of the battle, scattering them.

Nearly 10,000 Manchurian cavalry were left, and only half of them were left. Moreover, the cavalry were diverted by hollow formation groups and rushed out from different exits. The command system completely collapsed. After the cavalry came out, they could only run around like headless flies.

The Ming cavalry drove away these scattered cavalry and drove them eastward. Mandahai rushed out of the smoke of gunpowder, and for a moment they were driven to the front of the Ming army's main formation.

At this time, the Manchu cavalry ran aimlessly, gathering five or six hundred cavalry in the Manda Sea. At this moment, a sound of hooves roared behind him, and a group of thousands of Ming cavalry came from behind.

The Manchu cavalry who had just gathered thought they were well-equipped breastplate cavalry. In panic, the gathered people scattered in an instant.

Mandahai shouted loudly, trying to gather the cavalry, but in a moment he ran away with only more than a hundred cavalry left.

This made Mandahai feel desperate, and at this moment, he saw the Ming army's flag appearing in front of him.

Zhao Ming rode a tall horse imported from Arabia, stood high under the battle flag, and glanced at the entire battlefield.

On the flank of the army, Jiang Xiang's army was defeated by the Ming army's musketeers and fled to the mountains, unable to pose a threat to the flank of the army.

On the left front, the huge Manchu cavalry rushed out of the hollow formation group, and the cavalry could not gather and were driven to chase by the Ming cavalry, which was difficult to shake the situation.

In front of the army, the Ming army vanguard had already broken through the Zhou army front line in front of the pass, rushed into the Zhou army camp, and rushed towards Tongguan.

At this time, the Zhou army was defeated and had no power to turn the world back. At this moment, there was a Manchu cavalry with nearly a hundred people roaring towards the big flag.

"Zhao Zamao!" Mandahai ran wildly, his eyes red and roared like a beast.

More than a hundred Manchu cavalrymen raised their cavalry, raised their swords, and waved them toward Zhao Ming.

Seeing this, Zhao Ming frowned slightly, and the Ming army musketeers in front of him quickly lined up in three rows and blocked him straight.

The Ming army musketeers squatted in the front row, lifted guns in the middle row, and straight combat power in the back row, with nearly a thousand muskets, and pointed at the cavalry running in a staggered manner.

Mandahai, who was running in Mercedes-Benz, looked at Ming Jun's musket, held up the sword in his right hand, and roared in despair, "Kill!"

More than a hundred cavalry charged wildly and desperately, trying to kill their enemies. At this moment, a whistle sounded, and the gun flames flashed across the cavalry. Mandahai fell heavily to the ground, and the last time he could not cross the glittering galaxy in his eyes.
