The mortar weighing only 82 kilograms was mounted on the ground. The bottom of the mortar was a thick wooden board, and there were two gun mounts on the wooden board, and the ears of the gun were placed on the gun mount.

When the Zuo family army rushed within two hundred steps, with the order of the artillery battalion, the two gunners in front and behind each mortar cannon began to get busy. The gunner in front ignited the fuse from the gun mouth; the gunner in the back ignited the cannon from the fire gate.

"Bang bang bang" a row of dull cannons sounded, and the 100 mortar cannons that were spread out in three rows spit out flames, spraying white smoke, and rows of shells flew into the air and took off into the air. The black shells flew into the air with the flames, flew to the highest point, and fell on the head of the Zuo Family Army like a meteor of fire.

The length of the flowering artillery shell fuze tube was carefully calculated and cut. One hundred shells either fell to the ground and exploded in mid-air just a few feet high from the ground.

The fire flashed in the Zuo family's crowd, and the smoke of gunpowder rose. Five kilograms of new gunpowder filled in the twenty-four-pound shell exploded. The cast iron bullet body exploded into countless pieces. More than 200 iron beads filled in the bullet body flew out. Each shell formed more than 300 pieces of fragments and iron beads, a total of 100 flowering bombs exploded. There were more than 30,000 pieces of various shapes flying around above the formation of the Zuo family army, which was 100 steps long and 150 steps wide.

Only a scream was heard, and blood mist filled the formation of the Zuo family army, with flesh and blood flying everywhere, and screaming in pain. The originally neat formation suddenly seemed to be gnawed by a dog, becoming incomplete, and the parts were covered with corpses and wounded soldiers.

The shelling of cavalry artillery and mortar cannons caused the casualties of the Zuo family army to about 1,700 people. If the Zuo family army suffered such heavy losses, they would have collapsed long ago. However, the desperate Zuo family army still fought for trapped beasts, and they knew that only by defeating the Ming army behind them could they have a way out.

Li Guoying also asked officers at all levels to cheer the soldiers: "The only one who is powerful in Eagle Claw Sun is the cannon. As long as we rush to them, their cannons will be useless!"

But these soldiers of the Zuo family had no idea that if they wanted to rush to the new Ming army, they had to go through three rounds of baptism of twelve pounds of howitzers, one pound of light Franchises and four pounds of cavalry cannons before they could rush to the range of their bird guns and bows.

There were too many cannons in the Nanjing New Army. Zhao Peng imitated Napoleon and used the cannons as large muskets, carrying out multiple rounds of artillery attacks on the enemy to achieve the greatest possible killing effect on the enemy. In this way, when the infantry approached the enemy, they could defeat the opponent at the lowest cost.

Due to the output of high-quality spring steel, the infantry in Zhao Peng still accounts for most of the infantry with cold weapons. Only when the output of high-quality spring steel increases can the flintlock rifles be produced in large quantities; only when a large-scale equipment of flintlock rifles can the entire firearm of the infantry be fully realized. The combroach gun cannot do this anyway, because the combroach reloading speed is slow, and the musketeers cannot be arranged into too dense formations.

The reason why the convex gunners cannot be arranged in too dense formations is because of the interference between the convex rope and the convex rope. When the convex gun fires, when the convex rope hanging on the claw hook is pressed into the induction pool, the induction pot will be popped out by the exploded induction pot, and the convex rope will break away from the claw hook. If the formation between the gunner and the gunner is too dense, the induction rope will accidentally ignite the gunpowder on the comrades.

In the era of front-mounted smoothbore guns, the accuracy of the musket is actually very low. In order to ensure the hit rate, it is necessary to focus on shooting in dense formations. However, the attributes of the musket make it impossible for the muskets to be arranged into dense formations. Therefore, the musket can only hide in the fortification castle, or hide behind the flesh shield in field battles, and shoot at close range will cause damage to the opponent.

Therefore, the proportion of musketeers in the Spanish phalanx is only 30%, and 70% are cold weapons.

When the Zuo family army rushed to 150 steps, the new army gunners lit twelve pounds of howitzers.

"Boom boom boom" The muzzle sprayed out flames and white smoke rose. Skies flew out from the muzzle. After flying about a hundred steps in the air, under the impact of gunpowder gas, the shrieks automatically exploded in the air, and countless pieces of iron beads flew towards the target fifty steps away. The effective range of the shrieks is 150 steps, and the shells flew out one hundred steps, and the flying iron beads projectiles flew another fifty steps. The two were added together and exactly 150 steps.

The shrapnel was extremely powerful. The raindrop-like shotgun projectile penetrated into the Zuo Army's crowd and sprayed a thick stream of blood mist. The soldiers of the Zuo Family Army who were rushing in front were basically swept away by the shrapnel.

"Bang bang bang" Three hundred pounds of light Franchise fired. The light Franchise is truly a kind of artillery used as a large musket. Because the shells are too light, only one pound of shells is not expected to rely on bounce to kill the enemy, but aim directly at the dense crowd to shoot. The projectile penetrates into the dense crowd and can penetrate at least two people. Fortunately, one projectile can penetrate four to five enemy soldiers in a row.

Three hundred light Franchise aircraft fired volleys, and in one round of shooting, knocked down a large number of soldiers from the Zuo Family Army. The soldiers who fired the projectile immediately pulled off the cross-bolt at the tail of the cannon, retreated the sub-bolt from the cannon chamber, quickly replaced the sub-bolt loaded with the shotgun, inserted the cross-bolt, and then aimed at the enemy situation and ignited the cannon.

"Bang bang bang" light Franc aircraft made another fire sound, and the shotguns were spraying violently at the Zuo Family Army, which had already rushed into fifty steps. At the same time, the four-pound cavalry cannons also spit out flames, and the shotguns were scattered towards the enemy group like rain.

While the light Franz aircraft and four-pound cavalry cannons sprayed shotguns, the Rumi gunners in the infantry phalanx also began to shoot. Only a sound of bean-like guns were heard, and the soldiers rushing over fell in pieces like harvested wheat.

"Mirdgunman, retreat, and the spear formation move forward!" Zhao Peng gave the order.

After firing the bullets, the Lumi gunman immediately carried the Lumi gun and moved behind the spearmen; the light Franchise gunmen also lifted the light Franchise one after another, moving back to the protection of the spearmen. The four-pound gunman gunmen pulled the cannon and retreated as quickly as possible. A team of captains and spearmen rushed forward.

The archers of the Zuo Family Army began to shoot arrows, and the light arrows shot into the formation of the new army's spearmen.

The spearmen in the plate armor were pushing forward with the arrows shot from the Zuo Family Army. The arrows shot on their heads, either blocked by the plate armor or bounced off by the helmet on their heads. The arrows of the Zuo Family Army had almost no killing effect on the new army.

Each spearman also had an iron mask on his face, which could withstand the shooting of bows and arrows.

The spearmen lined up in dense formations and steadily advanced forward. The two-meter-long spear formed an airtight forest of spears and stabbed them hard towards the opponent's formation.

The weapons in the hands of the Zuo Family Army were only about ten feet long, which was nearly ten feet shorter than the spear of the New Army's spearmen. However, the sword player of the Zuo Family Army tried to close his body, but was intercepted by the New Army's axe and spearmen.

The length of the axe gun is shorter than the long spear, about one meter long. However, the axe gun is more flexible, and the spear of the long spear is easy to use. In addition to stabbing, the axe gun can also chop, pull, sweep, and deal with knife players. The axe gun is much more effective than the long spear.

Before rushing into the formation of the new army, the sword player of the Zuo Family Army was stabbed by a spear. The living people blocked the assassination of the spear, held a shield and knocked the spear away at the spear, slashed at the spearman in the new army. However, a rod of axe gun slashed over, and the shields of several Zuo Family Marshal players were pulled by two axe guns at the same time. The two axe gunmen pulled hard and pulled the shield of the Zuo Family Marshal player, and then the axe gun and spear stabbed the Zuo Family Marshal player in a pool of blood.

The Lumi gunman, who retreated back to the back of the phalanx, took advantage of the opportunity of the hand-to-hand combat troops in front to block the enemy's army and nervously loaded ammunition. A few to more than a dozen steps ahead of them, there were spearmen and axe gunmen to help them block the enemy, and they could load ammunition calmly.
