The Ming army has experienced many battle formations and has long been very skilled in the changes in various military formations.

Wu Sangui's analysis is indeed correct. Zhao Ming's strategy is to drive him into the cold Yellow River.

To achieve this, we must use strong frontal firepower to defeat the Zhou army, and the army will push forward the Zhou army into a desperate situation bit by bit.

Wu Sangui saw through this and knew that the firepower of the Zhou army's infantry must not be the opponent of the Ming army when shooting, so he did not send the infantry to carry out a gun volleyball battle, but instead used cavalry to launch a charge like a top-pressing Taishan.

The Ming army's strategy was established and the tactics had been formulated long ago. The military formation only needs to be changed according to the situation.

The enemy infantry was pressing forward, and then they lined up guns and shot at each other, defeating the enemy infantry head-on.

If a cavalry raids, then set up a hollow square formation.

It’s not Zhao Ming’s bragging, but the rogue battles are all rubbish.

Zhao Ming's musketeers have never lost in the shooting. The Ming army has tens of thousands of flintlock muskets. Looking at the world, no country has such strength.

Wu Sangui knew that he could not shoot Zhao Ming, so he chose the cavalry assault.

The Ming army's military formations were mainly horizontal and square formations, and the two were converted into a few minutes.

Facing the rushing Zhou cavalry, the bronze cannons in front of the Ming army, after the ammunition was loaded, the gunner holding the torch first ignited the lead.

The "swish" Mars rushed into the cannon chamber quickly. With a "boom", the cannon body retreated sharply, a ball of gunpowder rose up, and the shells roared out, flashed through the air, falling into the enemy's horses.

"Bang" When a bunch of earth and rocks were raised in the horses of Zhou army, the splashing mud pillars were neighing, and the cavalry were thrown off the horse and fell to the ground.

The Ming army traveled lightly and simply, but only carried field bronze cannons that could follow the army quickly, and did not carry heavy artillery. The shells fired by this bronze cannon were only about three or four kilograms and could not fire flowering bullets, so the Zhou cavalry was not greatly affected.

Thirty thousand iron cavalry galloped past the splashing mud pillars. Under the trampling of tens of thousands of horse hooves, the earth was trembling, and the Ming army musket formation that was standing in front of them was also trembling.

Under the Zhou army's big flag, Wu Sangui held his breath and concentrated, "What Zhao Zamao is fighting for is just a firearm. Today, the King of Japan will teach him how to be a human being, knowing that firearms are not omnipotent! It depends on the courage of the soldiers on the battlefield."

Seeing the Zhou cavalry coming towards him like a huge wave, the momentum was terrifying. The soldiers in front of the Ming army quickly ignited the rocket cart.

"Swoosh" nearly a thousand rockets rushed up suddenly, roaring, dragging their long tails into the enemy group. Zhou cavalrymen were howling and neighing, and fell down their horses.

Under the Zhou army's big flag, Wu Sangui's face turned gloomy, but these are all tricks. He played the remaining tricks in Liaodong and could not affect the charge of the elite cavalry.

Sure enough, the Zhou cavalry continued to rush out of the smoke belt and continued to rush forward.

Wu Sangui couldn't help but waved his hand and shouted, "The Great Zhou Iron Cavalry rushed over and was the victory!"

Under the Ming army's flag, Zhao Ming calmly raised his hand and waved the flag behind him.

"Oh hehe!" the drummers yelled and beat the war drums.

"Aim!" In front of the first horizontal formation, the officer heard the horn of the army and shouted loudly.

The whistle sounded in the formation, and the soldiers raised their muskets, aimed at them one after another, and pried apart the hammer, and a "click" sound came from them.

Wu Guozhu led the Zhou cavalry to avoid the Ming army's artillery, passed through the smoke belt caused by the rocket, and entered the range of the musket.

However, the Zhou cavalry was not afraid at all, because according to experience, although the muskets were powerful, they could only fight with each other for three to four guns when facing the enemy.

Zhao Ming waved his hand down, and a long sound of suona sounded.

"Shoot!" The Ming general shouted.

"Bang bang bang" the Ming army's front, gunshots like thunder.

The musketeers pulled the trigger together, and the hammer "clicked" and the musket shook backwards. A foot-long gun flame ejected from the muzzle, and white smoke rose.

The smoke belt spreads from the array to the wings, and instantly forms a white smoke belt that lasts for several miles.

Countless projectiles whistled out and shot at the enemy cavalry at a speed that was difficult to capture by the naked eye!

The war horses neighed, the cavalry howled, and the cavalry rushing to the front fell down!

The war horse hit by muskets soared into the air, threw away the knight, and smashed heavily on the ground, rolling and crying.

After the first row of the Ming army's musketeers shot, they immediately retreated, the second row stepped forward, and then the third row shot round, with uniform movements. Each person had no extra movements, showing the elite of the Ming army's musketeers.

The musketeers aimed at the Zhou army's horses, and the projectile brought a strong wind. For a moment, countless war horses fell down and the cavalry were thrown away.

Wu Sangui felt a pain when he saw this. Every Zhou cavalry was his hard work. The value of a cavalry was better than that of five infantrymen. But now he was using the lives of the cavalry to exchange for the lives of cheap musketeers under Zhao Zamao.

Under the platoon of gunfire, the Zhou cavalry fell to the ground like a date, but the elite cavalry still rumbling their hooves, quickly narrowing the distance between the two armies and was about to rush into the Ming army's front.

At this time, Zhao Ming waved his hand again, and the sound of the army horn sounded. Just as the Zhou cavalry was about to hit, the Ming army musketeers stopped shooting and moved closer to the middle with the commander unit, causing a huge gap between the commander.

The Ming army musketeers stood together with people, and they stabbed their bayonets to form solid square formations.

Wu Sangui's mouth twitched, and he saw Zhou cavalry pouring in from the gap between the Ming army's horizontal formations, pouring into the Ming army formation group from the first line of defense.

Zhao Ming waved calmly, and the second line of the Ming army immediately started to move.

Years of war have made the Ming army very skilled in the formation. Zhao Ming can basically do it like an arm and finger, and more than 100,000 troops are commanded, like a single person.

After the first line, the second line was the sixth platoon of heavy armored infantry holding eight-four spears.

At this time, when he heard the order of the Central Army, he saw the heavy armored infantry dropping the erected spears and stabbing the Qing cavalry that was rushing towards him.

The Qing cavalry who had just entered the formation, before they could be happy, they saw the sharp spear forest in front of them.

The spear of the Ming army was longer than the cavalry's guns of many larger cavalry. This means that if the cavalry rushed over, they must have been stabbed off the war horse by the spear of the Ming army.

"Murder! Bow and arrow!" Wu Guozhu shouted loudly while running.

The Zhou cavalry naturally had a set of methods to attack the infantry formation. The muslan cavalry ran forward and fired in the Mercedes. Amid the sound of "bang bang bang", the front spearmen fell to the ground one after another.

The Mongolian light cavalry galloped forward and set their bows and shot, and a piece of locusts rose up and fell into the gun formation. The cavalry immediately pulled out their horses and dispersed to the left and right wings.

"The heavy cavalry attacked!" Wu Guozhu raised his spear and roared angrily.

The heavy armored cavalry who rushed behind him separated the two wings and then directly crashed into the disturbed gun array.

It has to be admitted that the Zhou army cavalry still had a face to put their brush on it, and the cavalry crashed into the gun formation. Except for the one in front who was stabbed to death, the one behind who was forced to penetrate the Ming army's front.

"Okay!" Wu Sangui fist excitedly when he saw this.

However, the Zhou cavalry who broke through the gun array found that what was waiting for them was not the Ming army waiting to be slaughtered, but dozens of formations that had changed into hollow formations.

"Bang bang bang" In the hollow square formation of the Ming army, muskets fired, and the Zhou cavalry that entered the formation fell off their horses, and Wu Sangui changed color.

This group of formations is very restrained by the cavalry. As soon as Wu Guozhu's cavalry entered the formation, they suffered heavy casualties and were in trouble.

Under the Zhou army's Daqin, the generals of the Wu army couldn't help but feel a commotion when they saw the cavalry falling off their horses.

Wu Sangui's face was as deep as water, and suddenly he screamed in anger, "Ah!"

The cavalry was trapped and had to be rescued. Giving up was equivalent to admitting defeat. To break through the hollow square formation, he could only rely on infantry muskets to shoot. Wu Sangui pulled his horse forward and waved his hand angrily, "Press up the infantry!"

Although the Zhou army's musketeers were not as good as the Ming army, this does not mean that Wu Sangui did not attach importance to musketeers.

On the contrary, the Zhou army had a musketeer that was enough to dominate the northwest. When the military order was issued, the Zhou army's musketeers carried the muskets and pressed forward layer by layer.

At this time, Zhao Ming waved his hand again when he saw this, he saw the musketeers on the first line of the Ming army. With the sound of drums, each team extended to the left and right, and instantly formed a line of infantry fronts that lasted several miles.

Seeing this, Wu Sangui was almost crazy, but at this time he could only hope that the Zhou army musketeers could defeat the Ming army musketeers and press against the Ming army's hollow formation group.

"Bang bang bang"

"Bang bang bang"

The musketeers of the two armies opened fire almost at the same time, and the soldiers on both sides fell to the ground like mowing grass. However, the musketeers of the Zhou army, whether in training, or will and firearms, were not as good as the Ming army, and their shooting speed was obviously half a beat slower.

In three rounds of shooting, the front row of Zhou Jun musketeers was empty, and the entire line was shaken.

Wu Sangui was manic and restless. He pulled the reins of the horse and tried to take a gamble several times to suppress all the troops.

At this time, he saw the musket line loosening, and finally gritted his teeth and roared from the bottom, "Follow me to rush!"

He was about to rush out, but Hong Chengchou grabbed it and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, don't be impulsive! If you rush again, you will lose all!"
