Chapter 599 Frontal Assault
The Qing army took a closer look and found that the Wei army's former army held firecrackers in a horizontal formation, and there were many small cars in the formation, slowly advancing forward.

There were about [-] people in this phalanx of firecrackers. When the phalanx of firecrackers first moved, another [-] infantry marched out from behind, trailing behind the horizontal formation of blunderbuss soldiers, and began to advance slowly.

At the same time, 5000 people were deployed on each side of the Wei army, and every thousand people formed a small phalanx, and the guards were on both sides of the gun formation, advancing forward!
The Wei army invested 2 horses at once, and the huge formation pressed against the Qing army, which made the Qing army feel a little pressure.

"My lord, the enemy army has moved." If it was an ordinary opponent, there would be 10 people on the opposite side, and the Qing army would not be afraid, but when Gao Yihuan moved, many Qing troops immediately became serious.

Over the years, the Qing army suffered a lot from Gao Lao's second-hand hands, and was recently captured by the Wei army. The morale of the Wei army is in full swing, which is really a little scary.

"Zhi Niang, Gao Yihuan wants to fight this king, and directly defeats the king's army!" Geng Zhongming was a little angry.

Wei Jun didn't take him seriously, it was too rampant.

"My lord, do you want to send the cavalry up..." Someone immediately suggested.

Geng Zhongming frowned immediately, it seemed that his subordinates were a little panicked!

Geng Zhongming glanced at the general, pretending to be relaxed, and shook his head, "Huh, don't worry! Gao Yihuan has more people and more cards, but this king has few soldiers. Cavalry is my trump card. It's not too late to make a move later!"

The battle had just kicked off, Geng Zhongming didn't plan to make a move yet, he wanted to fight back defensively.

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, "Let the red cannon fire first, and then adjust the fire gun to the front, ready to meet the enemy soldiers!"

Although Gao Yihuan is a stubborn stubble, Geng Zhongming is not made of mud. He has not been a fool for decades, and his experience in battle can be said to be extremely rich.

While speaking, the Wei army's infantry continued to move forward, and the red cannons of the Qing army's rear array roared, and ten iron bullets came, splashing the mud.

A cannon hit the Wei army, and immediately seven or eight Wei soldiers were overthrown, plowing out a terrifying line of blood.

Generally speaking, red-clothed cannons cannot keep up with the speed of the army and are rarely used in field battles. However, there were exactly ten red-clothed cannons in Shanzhou, and they were pulled out by Geng Zhongming.

Geng Zhongming showed a smile on his face, but the cannon in red is not suitable for field battles.

This is not only because it is too bulky, but also because its rate of fire is limited, and it is only suitable for bombarding fixed city walls, but its damage to moving targets is not stronger than Wei Jun's copper cannon.

After all, there is not much difference in the effect between being hit by an eighteen-pound shell and being hit by a four-pound shell.

Once the cannon was fired and the cannon retreated, the gun position and elevation angle had to be readjusted. After one round, the Qing army's artillery array became silent.

At this time, before the second round of cannon fire started, bronze cannons dragged by healthy horses appeared on both sides of the Wei army's formation.

The Wei army's artillery was light and easy to operate. The gunner quickly aimed the muzzle of the black hole obliquely at the Qing army's infantry.

A few "booming" cannons sounded, and the soldiers of the Wei army holding firecrackers cast their eyes on the two wings, and saw white smoke billowing there, and the artillery retreated, and the gunners started the second round of loading.

Wei Jun's field artillery fires shells weighing about four catties, which have small power and range, but a fast rate of fire.

The artillery on the two wings fired crosswise, and a dozen was a slash.

In an instant, the Wei army fired two rounds in a row, and the Qing army's formation immediately became a little commotion.

Geng Zhongming, who was pretending to be calm, still looked a little serious.At this time, the red cannons deployed by the Qing army finally fired again. The shells pierced the air and slammed into the open area between the two armies.

The artillerymen of both sides had a tacit understanding and did not bombard each other, but both took the opponent's infantry as targets.

At this time, the accuracy of the artillery was not high. If the red cannons of the Qing army wanted to hit the bronze cannons of the Wei army at a distance of two or three miles, the possibility was very small. The red-clothed cannons couldn't reach the red-clothed cannons on the high ground behind the Qing army.

For a while, both sides aimed their targets at the opponent's huge infantry. The training of the Wei army's artillery team can be said to be the best in the Central Plains, and the shells kept hitting the Qing army.The soldiers holding the firecrackers on their shoulders saw that the Qing army had been pierced by cannons in many places, and their steps immediately became more stable.

With the flintlock gun, Wei Jun had an extra trump card, which was to kill him with a volley of guns.

Of course, just relying on firing guns is courting death.The platoon guns can only kill the enemy from the front. The flanks of the firecrackers still need the guards of horsemen, spears, and sword shields. The Wei army still needs to maintain a considerable proportion of cold weapons.

In addition, artillery, rockets, thunderbolts and other weapons are needed to increase the firepower so that the platoon team can be invincible from the front.

The blunderbussmen of the Ke Shengjun, carrying the blunderbusses on their shoulders, stepped on their feet, and pushed forward. The Qing army's shelling came again, and the rear of the clearing formation on the opposite side of the blunderbuss array made a sound like thunder. An iron bullet weighing about [-] jin hit the front of the blunderbuss array with a "bang", the soil splashed in all directions, and the shells bounced up and flew over the blunderbuss array's heads, shocking the blunderbuss soldiers' hearts beating faster and their throats dry.

At this time, during the gap between the Wei army's gun soldiers, more than a dozen rocket carts gradually surpassed the gun array, and when they reached the front of the team, the soldiers pushing the carts put down the carts, paused for a while, and then immediately ran back.

Geng Zhongming's expression became serious, and he saw dazzling flames erupting from the vehicles, billows of white smoke, and rockets the size of spears, with tail flames, screaming towards the Qing army's line.

Geng Zhongming knew this thing, he had seen it outside the city of Runing, it has a long range and a lot of movement, but the hit rate is not high, whether it can be shot or not depends entirely on fate.

Gunpowder smoke rose, and the advancing Wei army saw nearly a hundred fire snakes flying out of the rocket car. The thick white smoke instantly filled the gap between the two armies, blurring the clear formation on the opposite side.

The soldiers saw the fire snakes scurrying about, and there was a sudden chaos in the opposite Qing army, and they exclaimed again and again.

Geng Zhongming's face turned pale in an instant. Although he had rich experience in war, his past experience was useless in the face of the current situation.

These rockets scurry around and disrupt the Qing army's formation in an instant. With the current formation and the Wei army's infantry, the former army will definitely be finished.

A gust of north wind blew past, and the gunpowder smoke was blown away. Geng Zhongming was riding on the horse, and saw the Qing army in front of him in chaos. He was watching the Wei army lined up in a wall amidst the smoke and dust. With a jerk, he raised his right hand high, and then lowered it heavily: "Ma Jun, flank the enemy soldiers for this king, don't let them approach."

On the two wings, Bo Luo, who was in the Mongolian cavalry formation, heard the horn, and immediately clamped his horse's belly, and rushed out with the cavalry.

Thousands of cavalry rushed out from the left and right wings, like two big pincers, trying to wrap around the advancing Wei army infantry~
