Chen Wang held the front edge of the helmet, pressed back, and straightened the helmet again.
Chen Wang did not wipe the sweat from his forehead, but let it go. All his attention was focused on the front.
The military formation was extremely silent, with the sound of hunting flags ringing.
In the distance, cavalrymen wearing military armor and high helmets like him kept wandering around, suddenly rushing towards the military formation from time to time, and then when entering the dangerous area, they suddenly turned their horses and swung away from the formation. And passed.
There were also knights showing off their excellent riding skills, and sparse arrows were thrown from time to time. Although all this did not cause any substantial damage, it made the Ming infantry extremely nervous.
Except for the Ming troops in the first row who were holding guns and shields, the Ming troops in the next two rows were all holding blunderbuss, and there were also a lot of swarms of bees mixed in. The Ming troops in the third and fourth rows were all holding blunderbuss. All they hold in their hands are three-eyed blunderbuss.
Behind them were soldiers holding spears.
More than two hundred bird cannons and nearly three hundred three-eye cannons were all the firearms that were recruited to the front line in a short period of time.
Chen Wang took over the task of the queen.
In the process of mobilizing troops and generals, the artillery on the top of the mountain fired two rounds again. Only one of the two rounds of artillery fell into the military formation, which also affected the morale of the Ming army above the official level. Some recovery.
Sweat flowed down his face, and Chen Wang's breathing involuntarily became heavier. He was now under tremendous psychological pressure.
Thousands of cavalry were galloping back and forth, and the dust raised almost obscured his entire field of vision in front of him. Anyone who faced thousands of fully armed cavalry would feel terrified.
Chen Wang looked sideways at the soldiers holding firearms beside him. Everyone's faces were full of fear.
There was no cover from the chariot or even the cover from the gun array. They faced hundreds of cavalry without any hindrance. To be honest, this was their first time.
"Those who shoot without orders before the battle begins! Kill without mercy!"
Chen Wang raised the Yanling Saber in his hand high and shouted in a deep voice.
Military orders were passed down level by level, reaching the ears of every soldier holding a firearm.
Chen Wang looked around, knowing that the military order he issued was of little use.
In the seventh year of Chongzhen's reign, Jiannu went south to Datong. Under the protection of chariots, when facing Jiannu's charge into battle, some soldiers in the army fired guns in advance.
This situation was naturally taken into consideration by Chen Wang. It was a matter of family and life and must be considered thoroughly.
There are now more than thirty people in the front line holding a nest of rockets. Most of these people holding rockets, and those holding three-eyed blunderbuss, are servants of the flag general and the general.
Everyone has loaded their firearms. No matter whether it is a bird gun or a three-eyed gun, they are not allowed to be placed flat to prevent early firing. There are also servants holding Yanling knives patrolling the formation to supervise the battle.
"boom!"
A huge noise reached Chen Wang's ears again from a distance, and Chen Wang looked up at the top of the slope on the right.
The bandit's artillery fired again, but there was only one sound.
Now the liveliness of the bandits has changed from a volley at the beginning to interval shooting.
It is true that the rogues do not know how to operate cannons, and the speed of loading cannonballs can be fast or slow.
At the beginning, the five cannons fired in unison, but when they fired again, only four cannons were heard one after another. I am afraid that one of the cannons exploded or something unexpected happened.
But now the bandits' artillery is becoming more and more accurate.
Although this artillery shot missed, it was very close.
Chen Wang took a deep breath. This battle was not about who was better, but who was worse.
These elite cavalry among the rogue thieves are the heart and soul of every thieves leader. They will not be used easily and are rarely used to charge into battle. After all, if one dies, one will be missing and it is difficult to replace them.
At this time, most people are just called thieves for a way to survive, and their fighting will is not high.
After fighting for so long, Chen Wang knew the nature of the bandit very well.
All it takes is one moment to kill a large number of thief cavalry charging into the formation and suppress their morale, and the thief cavalry will lose its threat, whether it is ordinary cavalry or the elite among them.
"Woo——————"
A low horn sound sounded from the center position.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
In the formation, the sound of step drums sounded, and everyone followed the drum beats and stepped back one after another.
A fiery red banner stood in the center of the army. Cao Wenzhao held the command flag and stood under the banner like a needle that fixed the sea.
When everyone's eyes came into contact with him, they all thought of the scene where the two bandit cavalry teams were defeated not long ago, and they all felt a little calmer in their hearts.
However, the peace in their hearts did not last long, as the thunder-like sound of horse hooves crushed them to pieces.
"Rumble--"
The bandit's cavalry is already charging straight towards you!
The dark black flags were fluttering in the strong wind. As the horses galloped, they gradually expanded to their maximum size until they became straight.
The word "Chuang" came into Chen Wang's eyes one after another, and also caught the eyes of all the Ming soldiers.
The knights on the horse in the front row were holding three-eyed guns, and they were ready to fire them. Their bodies were riding steadily on the saddles, with almost no shaking.
The cavalrymen behind them all placed their Yan Ling knives on their right shoulders. The warm sunlight shone on the Yan Ling knives, but what emerged was a cold light.
If you don't look at their flags or the color of their armor, they are undoubtedly the frontier cavalry of the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Zongmin's eyes flashed with a heart-stopping killing intent, and he saw all the Ming army's movements.
It is simply ridiculous to concentrate firearms in the front line and expect to be able to evacuate safely.
Without the cover of a chariot, it only takes a few charges to lure someone, and someone will be unable to help but shoot. By then, when the firecrackers are almost ready, the enemy army will collapse without waiting for a charge.
What can really determine the outcome is the sword in your hand!
"Continue to retreat and stabilize the queue."
Chen Wang's eyes were slightly focused as he saw the bandits' cavalry approaching, but his mind did not waver and he ordered in a calm voice.
As a frontier soldier, Chen Wang didn't know what the other party was thinking.
Someone in the front line couldn't help but want to put down the gun, but in the next moment, a Yanling knife had already cut his neck.
A cold voice came from behind, like a quiet spring under a deep valley.
"Those who shoot without orders will die!"
