Across thirty steps, the black muzzles of 16,000 flintlock rifles aimed at the Qing army formation.

Sixteen thousand infantrymen were arranged in four rows of formations, with a very wide cross-section, which was simply overwhelmingly spread out a large area.

"Not good!" Ebilong then understood what was going on. It was obvious that the Ming army was going to approach the Qing army to shoot volleys! Within thirty steps, more than 10,000 self-generated muskets were fired volleys, and the Qing army's formation was so dense that how many people would die in one round of volleys.

Being able to brave the Qing army's tiny arrows and keep the formation unchanged, and keep moving from a hundred steps away to within thirty steps, such an army is definitely the elite among the elite. Ebilong believes that even the most elite Eight Banners soldiers cannot do this. Seeing the gun aimed at one's own side in a row, Ebilong was moved to a sad mood: Why did the Qing Dynasty encounter such a monster just a few years ago? It seems that what the Han people said was that the barbarians had no fortune in a hundred years. They were about to be defeated in less than ten years after entering the pass.

Before Ebilong could come back to his senses from his random thoughts, he heard a loud "boom" like a mountain collapse and cracks. The sound was so loud that it even exceeded the roar of the Red Barbarian cannons when they fired.

The "boom" sound just now was not the sound of the two armies firing artillery in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but the loud sound of the Ming army's self-produced musket guns. Tens of thousands of self-produced musket guns opened fire almost at the same time.

This is too neat, right? So many muskets fired a round of beautiful volleys almost at the same time. How elite is such an army! In the era of front-mounted smoothbore guns, because of their low accuracy, they had to fire volleys to ensure accuracy. The more neat the muskets fired, the greater the power. The Ming army fired such beautiful volleys, and I don’t know how much casualties the Qing army would have.

In the Ming army formation with a width of three miles, fire flashed into a circle, and white smoke filled the soldiers from both sides of the Ming and Qing dynasties were shrouded in thick white smoke.

In this row of volleys, the Qing army was knocked down at least three or four thousand people! The crowd was filled with snow and fog, screaming in succession, and rows of Qing soldiers fell down screaming.

After a round of bullets, the Ming army musketeers loaded the bullets on the spot. The flintlock rifle was loading very fast, much faster than the combs. The new soldiers bit open the tail of the paper shell in an orderly manner, then stuffed the bullet into the muzzle, and then pushed the bullet to the bottom with a strip of strips. Then they opened the cover of the medicine pool at the tail of the gun, aimed the sharp-mouthed medicine pot at the medicine pool, squeezed in the medicine pool, and covered the medicine pool cover, and then completed the loading.

The Qing army was naturally loading, but their bird gunners and turtledog gunners had already shaken their hands, so how could they complete the loading smoothly? Originally, the loading of the flintlock gun was much faster than the combs, and the Qing soldiers were panicked again, so they had no chance to load and fire, and the Ming army had already loaded it.

The musketeers completed the loading for only ten seconds. Under the order of the grassroots commander, the musketeers raised the musketeers together and aimed at the Qing army formation again.

The reason why Zhao Peng did not use the three-stage attack method to maintain the sustainability of the firepower was because this was an attack, and there was no need for three-stage attacks. Instead, he imitated the lobster soldiers' volley, then fired volley, and then charged by the bayonet.

The second round of neat shooting was "boom", which made gaps appear in the Qing army formation.

"Kill!" Gong Xiaoda pulled out the sword and pointed forward.

All the Ming troops stopped loading, pulled out bayonets, inserted them into the musketeers, and rushed towards the Qing army with bayonets. The grassroots officers waved flag guns, and rushed to the Qing army with the musketeers who had become short spearmen.

Of course, Zhao Peng knew that the Qing army of this era was not the Qing army in 1840. The Qing army in 1840 collapsed by two rounds of shooting and one round of bayonet charges. The Qing army of this era did not collapse even if it gave him two rounds of shooting and bayonet charges. Therefore, Zhao Peng's musketeers in the front row also prepared a round of fierce medicine for the Qing soldiers.

The Ming army rushed within twenty steps, and the Ming army in the front row raised their hands and threw out rows of iron lumps with blue smoke.

"The sky-shaking thunder is coming!" The Qing army turned around and ran away.

"Boom boom boom" The sky-shaking thunder fell into the Qing army formation and exploded a ball of fireballs, and shrapnel flew everywhere. The Qing soldiers in the front row fell down in the fireworks. In this round of attacks, the Qing army formation began to collapse completely.

The Ming army musketeers launched a bayonet charge and followed the Qing army all the way. At the same time, the Ming army's light and heavy cavalry also dispatched. The light cavalry was located on both wings, and the heavy cavalry was lined up in the middle of the heavy cavalry. The horse's hooves took slow steps and pressed towards the defeated Qing army formation step by step.

The light cavalry took the lead in accelerating, and the heavy cavalry also accelerated, crushing towards the Qing army formation.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Ebilong did not dare to organize the Eight Banners cavalry to attack the Ming army's infantry, because the Ming army's light and heavy cavalry came over from the two wings. At this time, the Eight Banners cavalry came out and bumped into the Ming army's cavalry with tall horses, which was simply seeking death.

"Retreat quickly, keep the green mountains here, don't be afraid of burning fire!" Ebilong shouted, leading the Eight Banners soldiers with horses, left behind more than 100,000 Green Camp soldiers in chaos on the battlefield, took the lead in evacuating the battlefield, and left more than 100,000 Green Camp soldiers there.

Seeing that all the Eight Banners Army had run away, the Green Camp soldiers had completely lost their fighting spirit and no one dared to resist. They knelt on the ground and surrendered to the famous generals who rushed over.

Seeing the Ming soldiers walking up with a knife in their hands, the soldiers of the Green Camp knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Give up your life, Grandpa Mingjun, spare your life, killing prisoners are forbidden..."

"Don't cut your head, just cut your braids!" Ming Jun shouted.

The prisoners knelt honestly on the ground, and the Ming army took off the hat on their heads, and then cut off the rat-tail braid from the head with one knife. The prisoners with the braided braid could not go back, so they could only kneel on the ground and wait.

Whether it is the Green Camp soldiers or a few Eight Banners soldiers, they will take off their hats and cut their braids when they see one.

The heavy cavalry of the Ming army followed the defeated Eight Banners cavalry and chased after them for a while. Because the heavy cavalry was too heavy, they did not continue to chase after them. They just grabbed the tail of the Qing army and annihilated hundreds of Eight Banners cavalry.

The light cavalry equipped with revolvers and sabers continued to chase the Qing army's Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners cavalry. Both sides were the same Mongolian horses. The Ming army's light cavalry, which had almost no armor, had lighter loads, and the endurance of the war horses was naturally better.

The Mongols used the Manguda tactics to turn around and shoot arrows, but the range of the bow was too close. Even if they turned around and shot arrows with the Manguda tactics, the Ming army's light cavalry would hit the arrows by themselves, and the range would be only thirty steps, which was not as good as the revolver of the Ming army's light cavalry.

While chasing the Ming army's light cavalry, they fired at the backs of the Mongolian Eight Banners Cavalry with revolvers.

"Bang bang bang" the revolver kept spraying fire, and the bullets accurately hit the Mongolian Eight Banners cavalry. The Eight Banners soldiers who were shot were sprayed with blood mist on their cotton armor and fell from their horse's back.

Although the Qing army's cotton armor was said to be able to block the shooting of bird guns from a long distance, it was the bird gun that the Ming Dynasty's Work Department used to cut corners. Now the Ming army's light cavalry used a revolver with rifled lines. The high-speed rotating bullet flew out of the cauldron and hit the cotton armor, easily tearing a hole on the cotton armor and drilling into the human body.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers turned around and ran away. They didn't even need the Manguda tactics, so they left behind the Manchu Eight Banners heavy cavalry and went to escape by themselves.

The Manchurian Eight Banners heavy cavalry was slow and caught up by the Ming army's light cavalry. The revolver was shot at close range. The two thick layers of armor on the Eight Banners heavy cavalry could not stop the bullets fired from close range. Many of the Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers were shot and dropped.
