Because there are only 3,000 Han soldiers under the banner, their front is not wide. Of the three militia regiments, only one rose up and fought fiercely with them using long weapons.
The remaining two regiments followed the left and right wings in a "pin" shape. Prevent being surrounded. The staggered assassinations between the two rows of militiamen protecting the flanks soon caused the Han army flag to fall in large pieces again.
The halberd thrust from the right side was impossible to defend against. Because of the restriction of the right arm joint, I cannot move too much to the right side.
Moreover, the structure of human eyes and the organs on the right side are well developed. The resulting natural habit makes it very inconvenient to observe targets coming from the right.
Whether they are cavalry or infantry, they are accustomed to slashing with their right hand to the left. This resulted in many soldiers of the Han Army Banner blocking the spear points of the oncoming halberds in the fierce collision and blocking of weapons. However, if they were not careful, they would be attacked from the right by the second row of halberdier soldiers. Stab.
Although these people in the Han Army Banner wore cloth armor, they even had chain mail and cotton armor inside. This is the so-called triple armor.
However, it is useless against spears or halberds with reinforced spear points. All of a sudden he was penetrated through the chest.
The stabbing in the neck also directly severed the artery. Armor is mainly used on the battlefield to protect against stray arrows and sword cuts.
Their weapons were a mixed bag. In melee, it will definitely be very useful to form a small team. But in such a large army formation, it would be difficult to take advantage.
The militiamen stood shoulder to shoulder, maintaining a maximum density formation. Even if the various weapons on the opposite side are arranged in the same formation, their weapons will have different functions because of their different lengths.
As a result, the battle in the middle cannot be neat and uniform, resulting in loopholes. As long as the opposing formation does not have close unity among the militiamen, there will be a situation where one person faces several halberds.
No matter what, one person cannot handle being stabbed by multiple halberds. Soon, the line of heavy infantry under the banner of the Han army was rushed away.
One by one, phalanxes of hundreds of troops rushed into the front line of the Han army flag. The battle line of the Han army flag was cut into several sections like sausages.
At this time, following Li Yongfang's order, the Han army's firearms soldiers came up from behind. The fire gun soldiers rushed up in a group of two hundred people, carrying sharp guns and three-eyed guns.
In an attempt to support the heavy armored infantry that could no longer hold up.
"Let the field artillery battalion and the machine gun battalion go up." Yang Fan saw that Li Yongfang did not respect martial ethics and had promised to fight hand-to-hand, but now he was cheating on him.
Let the firearms troops come up to support. He had no choice but to send his own killer weapon into action. As the whistle blew, a gunpowder-propelled grenade corps was formed in the center of each militia phalanx of a hundred men.
They immediately opened fire on the firecrackers with the Han army flag who rushed forward. Whoosh! Rockets flew up one after another, drawing parabolas, and then slammed into the cluster of Han military flags on the opposite side.
Flames rose into the sky, followed by a burst of blood and flesh, and a grenade fell down, directly blowing up a large area.
Except for the dead and injured people, the rest of the group were all lying on the ground in fear. One attack dispersed their team.
If such primitive firearms are not formed into a dense array, their lethality will plummet. These people only rushed to a distance of about fifty meters before they were hit by grenades.
The fire door gun has no lethality at all at this distance.
"Don't fire, rush closer and fire." The officers shouted at the top of their lungs. It's a pity that it was useless. The discipline of the Han army flag was far inferior to that of the Eight Banners.
These soldiers didn't turn around and run away in fear, which is already good. If it hadn't been for the White Fang soldiers riding behind to supervise the battle, they would have run away long ago.
During the war, Bai Baiyao led the troops and rode behind the infantry to supervise the battle. They removed the arrowheads and painted the shafts with red paint.
If you see anyone cowering, shoot them with arrows. After the war, all those with red spots on their bodies were beheaded.
Seeing the fierce firepower of the opponent, he was about to rush forward, and he was running very fast. They couldn't understand why these militiamen could run at such speed while wearing such heavy full-body plate armor.
These people must be more elite than the Great Khan's white-toothed soldiers. Otherwise, how could he run so fast?
They knew clearly how elite Bai Baiya's soldiers were. Manchurian Batulu Obai once led five white-armored soldiers to capture a hilltop.
These six people rushed to the top of the mountain and fought with the Ming army. They wiped out more than 240 defenders without any casualties on their own side.
Even the most elite white-toothed soldiers of the Great Khan, wearing three layers of armor, were not as heavy as the armor of the person opposite. They were covered entirely in plate armor.
Aren't they more powerful than White Fang's soldiers if they can run at this speed? The firearmsmen of these Han military flags were so frightened that their hands and feet were numb, and they immediately opened fire.
With the three thousand heavily armored infantry dead and wounded, the militiamen charged forward. The front suddenly opened up, and large groups of firearms soldiers appeared in front of them.
The militiamen did not hesitate. They usually fired muskets and knew what crap they were facing.
They knew exactly how well this thing performed, and it was far worse than their commonly used continuous fire door guns.
Everyone rushed forward with their halberds in hand. At this time, the speed of catching the enemy was the guarantee of victory. Let them fire as few shots as possible to minimize casualties.
After being bombarded by a round of gunpowder-propelled grenades in front. The scattered firearms soldiers, who had been kicked and beaten by the officers, regrouped and opened fire one after another.
There was a cloud of smoke. Countless guns were fired. The gunpowder formula of Jiannu was much worse than that of Ming Dynasty. Their smoke was more dense.
Yang Fan observed the situation in front of him through the telescope. The lead bullet fired from the sharp gun and three-eyed blunderbuss at the opposite side of forty to fifty meters was in front of us in an instant.
Puff puff! There was a dense sound of bullets. Although the fire door gun will not go in a straight line if it exceeds ten meters. But there is still no problem with designing a phalanx of 100 people with such a big goal.
About one-third of the lead bullets hit the militiamen wearing plate armor. Zhao Dazhu was charging forward, but he felt as if someone had hit his beak helmet with a sledgehammer.
He was unprepared, and his foot slipped, knocking him over and falling to the ground with a thud.
Those behind walked around him and continued on. He felt as if the cervical bones in his neck were dislocated. Although he knew this was just an illusion, if the neck bone was broken or misaligned, he would not be able to move his neck.
He touched the beak helmet and saw that the beak was flattened. He heard from the training instructor that this weapon should be a large-caliber fire portal gun.
There are more charges. The calibers of the fire gate guns of this era were varied, and there was no unified standard for large and small guns.
Others were shot, only to pause before continuing forward. The lead bullet is soft and has a relatively long distance. When it hits the plate armor, it sticks directly to it.
Seeing the poor results, the Musketeers panicked. This thing was not very reliable in the first place. They were all captured from the Ming Dynasty and were particularly easy to explode.
The effect against heavy armor is also very poor. How about it could have been captured by the Eight Banners in the first place? They immediately began to reload hurriedly, and when they aimed at the militiamen, they found that the militiamen had already rushed five meters away.
Five updates tomorrow
