There were 6 hollow square arrays behind, not because Lu Xiang Sheng Shenshi had a clever idea, but because he felt that the hollow square array was not very useful.

The emperor attached great importance to this kind of square formation, but Lu Xiangsheng had never really seen its actual combat after all.

In this large-scale battle, Lu Xiangsheng decisively adopted the tactic of combining heavy infantry and heavy cavalry.

So these 6 hollow square arrays are placed behind the army.

Jiannu’s spy went over and saw, huh? What the hell is that?

That's the army?

Jiannu's spy immediately went back to report to Dai Shan to the situation ahead: all the musketeers were in front.

Daishan: "No infantry?"

Spy: "No."

Dai Shan smiled like I wanted to make great contributions: Then there was nothing to hesitate, the whole army attacked!

Probably, Dai Shan was the first commander of Jiannu to experience the hollow square formation personally, and the sour feeling...

Soon, Daishan's army attacked the Ming army in the rear.

When the Ming army saw the dust rising in front of them, a large area of ​​cavalry rushed towards them, many people were suddenly nervous.

The officers rode their horses and began to walk around the phalanx, shouting loudly: "All be on guard!"

"Arson ready!"

There is a red cannon in the middle of each hollow square array, which is the standard configuration of this square array.

The gunner began to adjust the direction of the muzzle, led a gunner to take out the shell from the wooden box, and then gently put it on the muzzle.

The shells slipped down along the cannon chamber, making a crisp collision sound.

"Report! Prepare!"

"fire!"

"fire!"

The gunner ignites the lead.

With a loud bang, a shell blew out of the muzzle, pulling a long line in the air and smashing it down at Jiannu's cavalry.

With a muffled sound, the shell hit a cavalry's head, knocking the cavalry off the horse, and even the horse fell to the ground.

The cavalry's head was smashed and the brain splashed.

The artillery continued to rush forward for two meters, hitting a group of war horses behind, and smashing a cavalry behind to the ground.

Then the cavalry behind them were tripped.

The cavalry behind immediately avoided the front.

One shell hit three cavalry, which was good for solid shells.

The first hollow square formation fired, and the officers of the other hollow square formation immediately ordered the fire.

Bang bang bang bang...

Five shells rushed out one after another, drew a long arc in the air, and smashed towards Jiannu's charge formation.

One can roll for several meters, and it can hit three or four cavalrymen, and the most can hit six cavalrymen.

As soon as these five were released, Jiannu's charge rhythm immediately disrupted a little.

Unfortunately, it is not a flowering bullet. If there are five flowering bullets, it will probably fall down.

Although Jiannu destroyed more than twenty cavalrymen and the charge order was affected, it was not seriously damaged.

The charge of the Jiannu cavalry was still very rapid.

Ming Jun sensed the ground under his feet trembling slightly, and the sound of iron hooves rumbling louder and louder.

Seeing Jiannu's cavalry approaching, the gunners were quickly cooling the barrel of the Red Barbarian cannon with water.

After cooling down, a second wave of artillery was fired.

More than twenty Jiannu cavalrymen were knocked down.

Jiannu's charge suffered some resistance, but it was not serious.

The distance between the two sides quickly became closer, and as the distance was closer, Jiannu's charge was faster.

That overwhelming momentum made many people breathless.

The hollow square array has extremely high requirements for the psychological quality of soldiers.

Because the effective range of the flintlock rifle is only 70 meters.

When a person is on the battlefield, he will be stimulating sensory stimulations such as vision, hearing, smell, taste, etc.

For example, when you stand there and see the cavalry in front of you rushing towards you with swords, how do you feel?

People who have not undergone strict training must turn around and run away. This is biological instinct.

Even those who have received strict training will run away.

Unless it is constantly intensive training, constantly eliminating fear, and forming physical memory.

The soldiers of the hollow square formation of the Ming army were obviously not yet at the point of fully controlling this fear.

They had never really fought with the Jiannu cavalry in such a head-on manner on the battlefield.

Many soldiers had already looked terrified on their faces.

Some people's hands shaking the gun began to tremble, and they had a strong stress response in the battle.

Each hollow square formation has a regiment commander, who rides on a horse and patrolls back and forth.

The leader roared: "Long live my emperor! Long live the Ming Dynasty!"

The soldiers in the square also shouted: "Long live my emperor! Long live the Ming Dynasty!"

Suddenly, the fear of those soldiers who were very scared was slightly eliminated.

The platoon leaders of the first row began to shout: "First row, raise the gun!"

The soldiers in the first row raised the flintlock gun, but no one fired.

Jiannu's cavalry rushed over quickly and had reached a hundred meters away.

I obviously felt a murderous aura pounced on me.

With a bang, someone fired the first hollow square formation. After the shot was shot, the others immediately followed.

The platoon leader shouted, "Don't shoot!"

But it is useless anymore, and this row of gunpowder is equivalent to a waste.

Even the soldiers in the second row fired fire because of panic, and the order immediately became in chaos.

The gunpowder from the hollow square array on the right is basically wasted.

The soldiers quickly got bullets.

Seeing that Jiannu rushed into a distance of 70 meters, the first row of soldiers shot together on the hollow square formation on the left.

Bang bang bang bang...

Suddenly, the bullet rushed out like a heavy rain.

In an instant, more than a dozen cavalrymen were shot and fell off their horses.

But Jiannu's rush did not stop.

The musketeers in the second row then fired, and more than a dozen cavalrymen were shot, the war horses wailed, and the soldiers also fell off the horse.

Next is the third row of muskets.

When the third row of muskets were fired, more than 30 cavalrymen in Jiannu had fallen off their horses and died.

At this time, Jiannu's cavalry had rushed to a distance of thirty meters.

After the flintlock rifle is fired, it can shoot three times within one minute at fastest.

That is, it's an average of 20 seconds, faster than a real man!

It was obviously too late for the first row to shoot a second time.

What to do next?

Bright bayonet!

The first row is squatting, the second row and the third row stand.

All the bayonets are shining!

In a blink of an eye, the bright bayonets lit up in one go.

The war horses of the Jiannu cavalry, who were already close at hand, suddenly made a neigh of fear, and immediately raised their front hooves and stopped forcibly.

Obviously, the war horses are very afraid of bayonets.
