Seeing that his elite servants had lost more than 200 people, but they didn't even find the side of the Shun Army, Wu Sangui was heartbroken. However, since then, he could only order a charge. If the Shun Army artillery battalion was not destroyed and retreated, wouldn't the more than 200 elite servants have died in vain?

"Roar! The bandit army artillery battalion is less than a hundred steps away, just rush up and destroy the bandit army artillery!" Wu Sangui drew his long sword and pointed forward.

"Kill!" More than 2,700 Guanning Iron Cavalry shouted, waving various weapons, and rushed towards the earth platform a hundred steps away.

The Shunjun gunners, who had just completed a round of firing, nervously pulled the cover plate on the belly of the Fran machine cannon, pulled the gun out with an iron hook, then loaded the gun with a shotgun loaded, then inserted the iron pin, and then covered the cover plate.

"Fire the cannon!" Zhao Peng waved the small flag in his hand.

"Boom boom boom" more than 200 Franco aircraft spit out flames almost at the same time. At the same time as the Franco aircraft, there were more than 100 tiger squat cannons and more than 200 old-fashioned cannons such as bowl-mouthed guns and cub-mouthed guns.

Wu Sangui, who was leading the servants to charge, suddenly heard the sound of cannons, and his heart twitched: No! It must be a shotgun!

The Guanning Iron Cavalry is less than thirty steps away from the Shun Army Artillery Battalion. At such a close distance, as long as the opponent's brain is not broken, he will bombard with shotguns.

Wu Sangui quickly buried his head and pulled the reins slightly. The speed of the war horse under his crotch slowed down a little. The dozens of servants behind him instantly surpassed him and rushed to him.

More than 500 guns of various types fired shotguns at about thirty steps. What is the effect? ​​Even if each cannon is equipped with only ten pieces of gravel, it can spray out more than 5,000 pieces of gravel at one time! In fact, each cannon fires more than ten pieces of gravel. Take the tiger squat cannon as an example. Each tiger squat cannon can hold more than 100 pieces of gravel. Because of its small caliber, old cannon, such as bowl-mouth guns and cub-mouth guns, it can fire at least thirty to fifty pieces of gravel.

Accompanied by a row of thunder-like roars, tens of thousands of tiny stones scattered towards the Guanning Iron Cavalry rushing towards him like rain. The gravels drilled into the Guanning cavalry group. The Guanning cavalry who rushed in the front screamed and fell down a large area. Many people, even their horses, were beaten into sieves, and twitched in a pool of blood. More people were lying on the horse's back and with the help of the wide flesh shield of the war horse, the war horses were beaten into horse nests by shotguns. The cavalry on the horse's back was nothing big, and they were only slightly injured when they fell off the horse.

In this round of artillery, at least more than 700 Guanning cavalry were taken away, of which more than 200 died on the spot, and the others lost their war horses and turned into infantrymen.

There were only about twenty steps left, and the remaining two thousand Guanning cavalry arrived in front of him with just one charge, but the iron wire in the grass in front blocked the way of the cavalry. The dozens of cavalry rushing in front bumped into the iron wire, and the people and horses were overturned, hanging on it. However, these cavalry paved the way for the cavalry behind with their own casualties. Wu Sangui and the remaining cavalry shouted and rushed to the earth platform.

But at this moment, countless infantry soldiers emerged above the earth platform, and a long spear forest was erected in front of the Guanning cavalry. The dense spear tips were filled with a cold light, which was daunting.

Even if the Guanning cavalry was not afraid of death, the war horses under their crotch would be afraid to see the spears. The Guanning cavalry hurriedly tied the reins and stopped before hitting the spear forest. Then he turned, and the Guanning cavalry holding three-eyed guns in the front row stabbed the fuse into the fire gate. A bean-like gun sounded in the cavalry crowd. The fire splashed and the smoke of gunfire rose. Blood mist sprayed out from the Shun Army's spearmen. Almost at the same time, the Guanning cavalry behind took out the cavalry bow and shot round after round of light arrows at the Shun Army's spearmen.

The Shun Army infantry also used infantry bows and bird guns to shoot at the Guanning Army, and the two sides fired fiercely. Although the cavalry had a larger target, the cavalry was a living target for the cavalry and infantry, these Guanning Army cavalry were elites who fought with the Later Jin for many years, and were familiar with the bows and horses. They drove the war horses around the flanks, making it difficult for the Shun Army infantry to aim at themselves, and at the same time counterattacked with the cavalry bows in their hands. On the other hand, most of the Shun Army infantry were surrendered soldiers of the original Ming army, and some were just refugees, and their combat power was naturally incomparable to the Guanning Army's servants. When the infantry and cavalry shot, the Shun Army infantry suffered a loss.

If it weren't for the Qin army that had formerly Sun Chuanting's infantry behind the Shun Army, they would have collapsed long ago.

The quality of the Qin army is still very good. The Qin soldiers are so brave. If they had trained for a while, Li Zicheng would not be the opponent at all. If Chongzhen had not been imprisoned for four years without reason and forced Sun Chuanting to send troops after being released, resulting in Sun Chuanting being defeated and killed, Li Zicheng would not have been so easy to attack the capital.

After Sun Chuanting's death, the Qin army he had worked hard to train could only surrender to Li Zicheng and become the backbone of the Shun Army's infantry.

Under the pressure of the Qin soldiers, the surrendered soldiers and refugees of the Ming army did not collapse. The spear formation held tightly against the Guanning Iron Cavalry. The Qin army and infantry archers and musketeers behind continued to shoot at the Guanning Army.

Although the Qin soldiers were brave, they had not received much training after all. Because Sun Chuanting had no time to train them, they were urged to send troops by Chongzhen. But then again, if Chongzhen had not forced Sun Chuanting to death, these Qin soldiers would not have surrendered to the Shun Army. Although they obviously suffered some losses in the shooting with the Guanning Army, every time three to four Qin soldiers fell down, a Guanning Army cavalry fell down on the opposite side, this exchange ratio was obviously not a good deal for Wu Sangui. Each of his elite servants piled up with silver. Not to mention changing one to three infantry, even one to ten infantry would be very unfavorable.

While the Qin soldiers and the bird gunners were shooting against the cavalry of the Guanning Army, the fierce Qin soldiers and spearmen also advanced towards the Guanning Army's cavalry with the rain of arrows shot by the Guanning Army. After falling down a group of spearmen, the spearmen finally approached the Guanning cavalry and stabbed the long spears, causing many Guanning soldiers to shoot the arrows and didn't have time to run away.

Seeing that he could not break through the infantry formation of the Shun Army, Wu Sangui had no choice but to deviate again, and ignored the small cannons such as Franchise and Tiger Squat Cannons. Anyway, their goal was to destroy the Sky Cannons. As long as there were no Sky Cannons, Shun Army wanted to use the Sky Cannons and General Cannons to snatch Shanhaiguan City? That was something that he didn't even think about.

The Guanning cavalry, who had less than two thousand remaining, whistled, quickly threw away the Shun army infantry, rushed down the earth platform, circled around, and rushed towards the sky-storming cannon position behind the earth platform.

Seeing Guanning's Iron Cavalry bypassing the interception of the Shun Army infantry and detour in his direction, Zhao Peng hurriedly got down from the Wang Tower. There were a few war horses behind him, and he could take Wang Xin with him, discard the sky-storm cannon, and ride on the horse and run away. However, those 100 apprentices did not have horses and could not run away at all. Even if there were enough horses, those apprentices would not ride horses.

To be honest, Zhao Peng didn't feel sorry for losing two sky-storm cannons. When he returned to Nanjing, he would cast as many mortar cannons as he wanted. But those 100 apprentices were rare and precious talents. Since he took over the Military Weapon Bureau, he has only had dozens of craftsmen, and has developed to this day with hundreds of apprentices.
