Seeing this, some Mongolian cavalry began to pick up their weapons and wave them at their companions, hoping to kill their companions in front and find a way out.

Gradually, more and more Mongolian cavalry attacked their companions. The middle and rear sections of the Mongolian cavalry team were in chaos. Many Mongolians were not killed by the cannons, but were killed by their own people.

The sound of artillery did not stop because the Mongols were killing each other, but continued to be fired.

The solid iron balls are like seducers, taking away lives and leaving corpses wherever they go.

The chaos in the Mongolian team was not limited to the middle position, the Mongolian cavalry behind was also affected, and some cavalry even began to turn their horses and retreat.

When Su Nang in the back saw this scene, his relaxed smile just now suddenly fell.

As far as he could see, he saw the charging Mongolian cavalry stop, and soon some began to retreat, along with more and more Mongolian cavalry.

Kankantada on the side said with an ugly face: "The people of Tiger Character Banner actually hid so many iron cannons, I am afraid there are dozens of them."

"Agula!" Su Nang shouted a name.

A strong Mongolian rode up to Su Nang and said, "My subordinate is here."

"You lead a team of 100 people and go to the front to intercept those who are retreating. If anyone dares to forcefully pass you and retreat, you are allowed to shoot them in public." Su Nang said coldly.

"Yes." Agula agreed.

Soon, a cavalry team of about a hundred people rushed towards the front group of Mongolian cavalry.

Kankantada took a breath and said: "We haven't been defeated yet. There are only a few dozen cannons in the Tiger Flag. Our biggest loss is in the middle of the team. Although the people behind are also affected, the people in front are also affected." No one has anything to worry about. As long as the people in front rush into the car formation, we will still be the final winners."

The place where he and Su Nang were located was on a hillside. Standing on a high place, they could see the general situation of the thousands of cavalry sent out.

Su Nang gritted his teeth and said: "Taiji has recorded this in the ledger. When the people with the tiger character flag fall into the hands of Taiji, they will be forced to live and die."

After just a few rounds of shelling and the panic caused by the team, he knew that the number of people lost would not be less than a thousand, otherwise there would not be such a large gap in the middle of the team.

"Don't worry, as long as our people rush to the car formation, the people in the Tiger Flag will no longer be able to resist, and they can only let our people slash and kill them with their swords." Kankantada said with a gloomy face.

The cavalry sent to attack the chariot formation was a joint force between him and Su Nang. There were not only people from Su Nang, but also people from his tribe, and the people he brought were all carefully selected, and every one who died was killed. He felt very distressed.

The nearly a thousand Mongolian cavalry rushing at the front were not bombarded, and the screams coming from behind were all covered up by the sound of horse hooves and cannons.

At this moment, no one looked back, and they did not understand the situation behind them. They were about to rush to the front of the car formation with the tiger flag, and everyone had a cruel smile on their face.

In their eyes, as long as they rush to the car formation, the next step is when they slaughter the Han dogs in front of them.

The car formation was getting closer and closer to them. When it was less than 200 steps away, many Mongolians began to take out their riding bows, pull out arrows and hang them on the bow strings.

The distance between the two sides was still a hundred steps, and the Mongols fired their arrows one after another.

The sky seemed to have turned dark all of a sudden, and the arrows all over the sky were falling in the direction of the car array in front of them like a sudden rain.

Behind the car formation were many soldiers holding firecrackers. Many of these people were new recruits. It was the first time for most of them to see so many arrows raining down.

Some soldiers lowered their heads subconsciously, trying to avoid the rain of arrows.

"If you don't want to die, raise your fucking head and hold the gun in your hand. Once the Mongols come over, if you keep your head down, you are seeking death." A corps commander yelled.

There are many corps commanders and squad leaders who yell and curse like him.

The team leader and team leader are all veterans of the Tiger Flag. Many of them have been to the grassland at least once and have seen Mongolian horse shooting and horse bandits on the grassland.

Under the shouts and curses of these captains and squads, the soldiers who wanted to lower their heads to avoid the arrows raised their heads one by one.

At this time, arrows rained down one after another, and clusters of arrows were stuck on the ground in front of the car array.

"Did you see it? The Mongols use soft bows. Even if they shoot at you from such a long distance, they won't be able to hurt you. The reason why they shoot arrows from such a distance is to scare us. If you lower your heads Only if you go, you are really fooled." A corps commander explained to the recruits around him.

After the rain of arrows from the Mongols, no one was hurt, which made some frightened soldiers feel much calmer.

One of the corps commanders shouted loudly: "Everyone hold on to the guns in their hands. As soon as you hear the order to fire, just like the usual training, you will aim at the Beibei in front of you and blast the hell out of them."

The familiar shouts and curses gave many recruits the illusion that they were still on the training ground.

Many soldiers gradually calmed down from the initial panic. They no longer saw the Mongolian cavalry in front of them, but the wooden targets they had used for training.

As the Mongolian cavalry entered the 70th step, a copper whistle sounded. At the same time, there were sounds of squad leaders and corps commanders shouting to fight.

boom! boom! boom!

Rows of firecrackers were fired. The soldiers who finished firing the firecrackers did not look at their own results. Instead, they got out of the way and allowed the soldiers behind to take over.

The firecrackers kept being fired.

Every time a fire is fired, there are almost more than a thousand firecrackers.

Except for those fire cannons that misfired or were unable to be fired due to nervousness among the soldiers, it was still guaranteed that at least a thousand fire cannons would be fired.

Seventy steps is already the effective range of the fire cannons. Although the fire cannons are accurate, they cannot withstand large numbers.

Rows of muskets were fired, followed by rows of Mongolian cavalry falling.

No matter whether it is a man or a horse, it is difficult to get close to the car formation under the continuous attack of the firecrackers behind the car formation.

Between forty and seventy steps in front of the vehicle formation, it became a line of defense for casualties. Any Mongolian cavalry approaching this distance would be killed or wounded by the firecrackers behind the vehicle formation.

At the end of the firing, the front of the car array was filled with smoke. Nothing could be seen dozens of steps away, everything was obscured by the smoke.

Even so, the sound of firecrackers still continued.

The musketeer simply stopped looking for the target when he got to the back. He just pointed the muzzle of his musket behind Bai Wu. After firing the musket, he stepped back, leaving room for the other musketeers who came up behind him.

After the gunman fired five rounds in a row, the order to stop shooting was conveyed.

The sound of horse hooves that could still be heard now disappeared, leaving only some screams.
