Although the lead bullets issued by the Flang cannons have a much longer range than the lead bullets of muskets, reaching 500 meters, they are effective range.Because of the poor tightness of the flammaver, it is the effective kill range within 300 meters.Although the distance of 500 meters can not wear armor, but it is a great power for unprotected horses.

The first cavalry horses were hit by lead bullets, the horse is a very sensitive and fragile animal, originally on the kind of white smoke, loud things have an instinctive fear, and now their body is still hit a lot of lead bullets, although not fatal but it is really painful!

So the first cavalry horses threw off the knights on their backs and fled.And these unlucky knights did not even have the opportunity to scream, have been stepped into flesh and wood by the horse team behind.

Immediately after the Qing cavalry into within 300 meters, that is, the killing range of the flag machine, and now the flank machine issued as a dense rain-like lead bullet began to really threaten the life of the knight.

Today, most of the cavalry with Wu Sangui is the Qing army stationed in Shaanxi, the northwest because of geographical relations has always been lack of horses, these cavalry riding is also OK.But the northwest is now poor and cladding, the army is afraid to eat human flesh, the natural cavalry has no good equipment, some officers and ancestral armor can wear, the best thing for the small soldiers is a piece of leather, most of the soldiers are wearing cloth clothes.Such equipment is naturally not afraid of the northwestern peasant army, which is also a soil, but the Ming Army, which is armed to the teeth, is not enough to see.

In order to ensure the intensity of the fire, there is a folem cannon every ten meters on the front, this gun is poured at a speed of four rounds per minute, and the muskets of the Ming cavalry also began to fire, and the army charge for a time was firmly blocked 50 meters away from the front line, and the dead and alive could not attack.

Wu Sangui of the middle road saw that the two wing cavalry attacks were blocked, and he did not expect that the Ming Army's firepower was so dense, five or six times stronger than his familiar Ming arms.Unfortunately, these cavalry brought by today are Shaanxi cavalry, the equipment is not good, if it is the kind of heavy armor that is wearing heavy armor, it should be somewhat resistant to the Ming Mundus.

When Wu Sangui was thinking, his middle road also encountered the middle road of the Ming Army, Wu Sangui's own cavalry was brought out from Liaodong, the equipment was better than Shaanxi Qing army, the ordinary cavalry at least has a cotton armor, as the most elite eight thousand Liaodong iron riding in the cotton armor there is a layer of lock armor, against the Ming army firearms have the strange effect.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, because of the extensive use of firearms, the heavy armor of the previous generation of bright light and mountain armor has been eliminated, because the solid armor can not resist the shooting of the musket.On the contrary, this kind of light cotton armor is popular and promoted in the Ming Army.Many history lovers think that equipping cotton armor is simply that the court has no money to equip armor, so as to make some cotton fools of frontline soldiers, in fact, this is wrong.

According to the end of the "armed record", cotton armor, cotton seven pounds, with cloth in the jacket, the coarse thread is tightly sewn, water soaked, take out the floor, with the feet solid, has not fat swelling, drying.Cotton armor is divided into two categories: cotton iron composite armor and pure cotton armor.If they are compared to the bulletproof vests of modern army equipment, pure cotton armor is equivalent to the Kevlar outer skin part of body armor; cotton iron composite armor is equivalent to the ceramic insert plate on Kevlar's outer skin.

Cotton iron composite armor and bright armor, dark armor appearance and ordinary cotton clothes, in fact, it or with a stud in the inner lining of the iron, or between the inner cotton flakes of the lock iron net to increase the protective performance.Mingjia is based on cotton gall, and the sheet metal iron is connected in the form of zag, or directly coated the iron net outside the cotton bile, which is the Ming armor.Taking the Ming Dynasty cotton armor as an example, a collar cotton iron composite armor weighs about 35 to 40 pounds.Pure cotton armor, as the name suggests, is composed entirely of molded cotton flakes and weighs only about 15 to 20 pounds.

These cotton armor because there are iron armor to guard against the Ming Army's muskets, outside cotton can also keep out the cold, it is the Liaodong army's standard equipment.Originally, Wu Sangui took these wolf-like tiger Liaodong army without harm, but today it encountered hard bones here in Shandong.

Ming army because of the use of improved gunpowder, Zhu Hongsan directly after the future ratio of the best gunpowder to the Ming Dynasty, this gunpowder power is very huge, has reached the peak of black gunpowder, in this kind of launch* shot under the blessing, although the flag cannon is not closed, but the fired lead bullet is not a layer of cotton armor can resist.Therefore, Wu Sangui's Chinese army, like the other two directions, was also blocked by Ming Army's firearms 50 meters away.

While being glued on the front line, there was a unit in the back of the Ming Army, who was watching the bustle at a good time, and this unit was the chest armor heavy cavalry that Zhu Hongsan had put a lot of effort into.

Zhu Hongsan really spent his wife for this unit, and the silver dollars spent by this two thousand horsemen were enough to build a new ship of thousands of tons.In addition to the horses are imported horses, even the soldier's armor also spent a lot of money.Zhu Hongsan for each of these people are equipped with a full body armor, the most important chest armor is polished, reflecting the sun from a hundred meters away, danling like a mirror.The breastplate is lined with silk to prevent the archery from being shot by the Mongols.

In addition to the chest armor is stamped in one form, other quilts, armbice, front, left gear are all mountain armor work, triangular iron flakes interspersed, and then with iron buckles set on the leather armor.Shan Wenxuan is the peak of the scale of China's scales, this armor to prevent the bow and arrow has a strange effect, but the shortcomings are the same, too much money.The cost of Zhu Hongsan, who is rich and rich, can only use mountain armor at the corners of the corner, and use the board armor of provincial materials in the torso.

In addition to the muskets standard by the dragoons, these heavy cavalry weapons are also equipped with two double-barrel fire thighs, sabres, etc. Some cavalry came from Li Chengdong's old-time rough base, and personal equipment has heavy weapons such as meteor hammers.In this way, each soldier included armor, weapons, and its own weight totaled nearly four hundred pounds, and the previous thin Mongolian horse did not move.

Of course, Zhu Hongsan's selection of Andalusian horses can be carried, but only in combat, these heavy cavalry are separated from people and equipment, equipped with a horse, a horse, a horse.

Today, these people have been dressed in armor, but they have not been launched, but they have stood on a hill 500 meters away from the Ming Army to watch the lively.

Zhao Hu was wearing a black mountain armor, he was the emperor's son-in-law, naturally did not need to use simple armor, a black iron mountain armor, in addition to the physique of chimpanzees, standing on the hill like a giant god.

Zhao Hu's deputy Zhu Ren said around him: "Deputy commander, it seems that we are on board!"Zhu Ren was one of the four dead parties who followed Zhao Hu to Annan as a soldier, and when Zhao Hu returned to lead the army alone, he immediately transferred the four to his men, and now all four are middle-level officers under Zhao Hu's command.

Zhao Hu looked at the war ahead and nodded and said, “Almost, the army is up, it is our turn!”Go ahead and get everyone ready!”

The Andalusian horse produced in Spain is one of the best horses, shoulder height is generally one meter eight, compared with the shoulder height of only one meter, three or four Mongolian horses are much higher.Zhu Hongsan selected heavy cavalry is also more than one meter seven height, which is a strong man in the Ming Dynasty, these people wear burnt armor, riding a tall horse, naturally superior.

Zhao Hu because of his heavy body, he himself was nearly three hundred pounds, plus armor, Andalusian horse really did not move him.But rest assured, this is the first era of globalization, China does not have heavy war Marco Europe ah!Those Spanish merchants knew that the Chinese emperor would pay a lot of money to buy the horses, and immediately shipped all kinds of European horses to China, including the British Sharma.

Zhao Hu riding this Shima just over five years old, it is the adult, height of three meters two, shoulder height of two meters, more than two meters higher than two meters of Zhao Hu.When the horse was first transported, it immediately became a scene in Guangzhou City, and no one had ever seen such a big horse, which was already comparable to some Asian elephants.

Zhao Hu's own soldiers led the elephant to Zhao Hu, Zhao Hu kindly patted its huge horse head, smiled and said, "Man, today to see your power!"Zhao Hu said that he got on the horses with the help of his own soldiers.

At this time, the front of the war is still going on, the Qing army's attack has been completely resisted by the dragoons, and the loss of the speed of the cavalry is the end of the slaughter.Zhao Hu saw his men on horses, riding their own horses to the front, and loudly said: "In front is Wu Sangui's Liaodong iron ride, the only cavalry who claims to be able to fight against the eight flags of Manchu, now we have to deal with them!"But this is not the last battle, defeat Wu Sangui Liaodong iron riding we will go to the Qingqing eight flags, and then go to the prairie to see if the Mongols are still as brave as Genghis Khan, let them see that my big Ming cavalry is not vegetarian!"

Zhao Hu’s two thousand men shouted, “Please rest assured!We are so equipped so well that it is not easy to deal with them!”

Zhao Hu nodded and began to enter the battlefield with two thousand heavy cavalry.

This heavy cavalry, because behind the Ming Army, they had to move to the flank before they could attack.Zhao Hu first took the horse team to slow down, then briskly warm up, and finally slowly speed up, when bypassing the Ming Army large phalanx, the horse speed to the fastest, facing the Qing army flank rushed past.

Wu Sangui was in the middle of the battlefield at this time, and he did not think why the Ming Army, which had been defeated, did not retreat from the death?Now this battle has become a mud battle, how is this good?

Wu Sangui just wanted to order the army to bypass the Ming military array and go behind them to attack the rear, when he heard the ground shaking like thunder.You know that now Wu Sangui is in the battlefield, and all kinds of voices are coming and going, and you can be heard by him.
