Chapter 943 Counter Shots
On the battleship, a cannon spewed out a thick smoke, and a shell hit the road ahead of the Wei army, splashing columns of mud.

The artillery on the ship roared non-stop, and there was a scream from the front line, and the comrades around him suddenly became empty.

In the initial stage, the Wei army was completely passively beaten, but fortunately, there were not many Hongyi cannons on the four warships, and the firing rate was slow.

The infantry of the Wei army stepped forward amidst the sound of drums and thin smoke.

The three rows of musketeers, the first row of soldiers, all hold their blunderbuss with both hands, with the thorns pointing upwards, while the soldiers behind them hold their blunderbuss on their shoulders. Regular ups and downs, the scene is spectacular.

In the formation of the Ming army, his eyes leaped over the heads of many Ming soldiers, and when he saw the undulating thorns, his face was gloomy. At the same time, he had to admit that the Wei army was worthy of being a strong soldier in all battles.

"Rocket shooter, press to the front!" Gao Yizhen shouted immediately behind him, "Rocket is ready!"

In the Ming army phalanx, the spearmen in the outer circle did not move, but the gunners in the circle gathered towards the front one after another, crowded together, and raised their guns to aim at the Wei army advancing like a wall.

Now the Ming army can only rely on artillery bombardment to disrupt the Wei army's front, and then concentrate their muskets as much as possible to shoot at the Wei army.

With a sound of "boom", Wei Jun finally advanced to the range of the copper cannon. The cannons on both wings retreated suddenly, spewing out a stream of flames, and suddenly fired a cannon, smashing into the Ming army's formation, splashing a piece of mud.

As soon as the gun body retreated, the gunners of the Wei army started the second round of loading as soon as they stopped.

Bombarded by shells from both sides, pillars of mud and black smoke were splashed in the gap between the two armies.

At this time, the accuracy of the artillery was not high, and it was not easy for the artillery of both sides to hit the opponent's artillery, so they aimed their cannons at the opponent's infantry, and both armies were pierced by shells many times.

During the shelling, the two sides entered a distance of 150 steps. At this time, the Ming army suddenly launched several rocket vehicles with spearheads on them, which could be used as shield vehicles, but their real role was the nearly a hundred rockets on the vehicle.

The soldiers of the Ming army lit the arrows of Hundred Tigers Running Together, and the soldiers quickly fled to the phalanx.

The advancing Wei army saw countless dazzling flames suddenly erupting from the rocket car, and the white smoke instantly obscured the field of vision. Countless rockets with tail flames shot at the Wei army's line suddenly.

The formation of the Wei army lined up into a wall immediately became chaotic, dense white smoke filled the gap between the two armies, and the vision was blurred.

This was originally a sharp weapon used to deal with cavalry charges, but the Ming army used it on the infantry of the Wei army.

Although whether or not the rocket can hit depends entirely on fate, but thousands of rockets scurry around, which still caused panic to the Wei army.

"Bang bang bang!" Taking this opportunity, the Ming army opened fire first, and the first row of musketeers pulled the trigger, and white smoke rose immediately above the heads of the spearmen squatting on the ground.

There was a sharp whistling sound, and the projectiles came separately, and the Wei Jun who was hit by the front door fell on his back, and the Wei Jun soldiers who were hit by the armor froze, and then continued to move forward.

After firing a blunderbuss, the soldiers of the Ming army retreated with their guns raised, and the soldiers behind immediately stepped forward, raising their guns and shooting. The advancing Wei army, as the distance drew in, the casualties immediately increased.

However, the Wei army did not stop. The soldiers of the Wei army had the habit of approaching thirty steps before firing a volley of guns.

The firecrackers fired, and the soldiers of the Wei army were getting closer and closer. The Ming army saw the rolling Wei army through the smoke. Their black uniforms were clearly distinguishable in the white smoke.

This made the Ming army start to panic, but platooning of guns is no longer a new thing, but the Ming army did not collapse like when the Qing army faced the platoon of guns for the first time, but continued to shoot.

At this moment, the Wei army finally advanced to a distance of [-] steps from the enemy, and the voices of the officers in each formation finally remembered, "The whole army stops!"

On the entire front, the soldiers of the Wei army stood still on the ground in unison. The team was bent and twisted due to the shooting of firecrackers and harassment by rockets, but most of them stopped within thirty steps.

"Bang bang bang" sounded again, and the Ming army once again launched a thousand rockets, and the Wei army in the front row immediately fell down again and again.

In the Wei army formation, the officer immediately yelled, "Fire up and shoot from the back row."

The soldiers of the Wei army stepped forward with guns to fill the vacancy. At the same time, they raised the muskets and opened the hammer.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Ming army reloaded in panic, while the soldiers of the Wei army pulled the triggers in unison. With a crisp sound of the hammer, the gun body was shaken backwards, and a smoke belt immediately rose from the Wei army's front line.

Amidst the sound of gunshots, the strong wind brought by the bullets swept across the ground, and the spearmen squatting in front of the Ming army immediately fell to the ground in pieces.

These spearmen and musketeers of the Ming army were beaten to the ground on their backs. The soldiers were hit, blood flowed out, rolled on the ground, and screams resounded through the field.

The two armies began to shoot at each other brutally. Because the Wei army was harassed while advancing, the first row of guns did not achieve the same feat as before. The Ming army was just the opposite. With the casualties, they fought more and more panicked.

Amidst the sound of "bang bang bang", the soldiers on both sides fell to the ground in unison, dying in pieces.

At this time, the gap between the battle-hardened Wei army and the Ming army became apparent. Coupled with the better firepower of the horizontal formation, every round of salvo, the Ming army suffered twice as many casualties as the Wei army. After three rounds, The current six phalanxes were finally defeated.

Seeing this, the Wei army's infantry immediately picked up their muskets, stepped forward in unison, and pushed the defeated Ming army forward.

Seeing this, Gao Yizhen had no choice but to wave his hand and shout anxiously, "Go up!"

The six formations of the Ming army by the canal finally changed their line. The Ming army armed with firecrackers began to rush forward, intending to stabilize the front in the middle.

At this time, Hu Dawei, who was always paying attention to the movements of the Ming army, narrowed his eyes when he saw the movements of the Ming army, revealing a murderous look.

With the defeat of the former army, the Ming army's line was unstable. If the Wei army's infantry could not be stopped from continuing to advance, the entire phalanx group would be defeated.Seeing that the situation was critical, the Ming army's rear formation finally stepped up, and the hollow formations turned into horizontal formations, intending to obtain strong frontal firepower and prevent the Wei army from horizontal formation.

In this way, the Wei army and the horse army waited for the opportunity. Hu Dawei raised his saber and immediately roared, "Soldiers follow this supervision to kill!"

With an order, the cavalry of the Wei army who had been watching the battle immediately clamped their horses, lowered their horses, raised their horse speed, and launched an attack on the Ming army.

The cavalry of the Wei army who had been unable to hold back for a long time finally waited for the opportunity. The knights shot their guns on the buttocks of the horses. The Ming army.
