Tang Feng shook his head in disappointment when he saw the effect of the cannon fire.
Solid bullets were weak against infantry and cavalry. If they were explosive bullets, just these few shots would have caused the Houjin cavalry to lose more than 2,000 soldiers.
After experiencing a total of three rounds of artillery fire, the Houjin cavalry finally charged within a hundred meters of the Ming army's formation.
"Firearms, fire!"
The smoke of gunpowder spread out, and the sound of frying beans sounded again.
In this vast wilderness, it was exceptionally clear and continuous.
Nearly 4,000 musketeers were divided into several square formations. Each square formation was divided into three rows. Each time, there would be more than 1,000 people firing at the same time.
Even if the firearms of this era were weak and lacked accuracy, the damage caused by such a large-scale volley was still very strong.
They saw the Houjin cavalrymen at the front fall one after another. The scene was spectacular.
After the three rows of musketeers finished firing, the archers began to shoot arrows.
The arrows rained down on the Houjin cavalrymen in front of them, taking the lives of many of them.
Ding Jia and Ding Yi each held an earthen jar. They lit the fire rope on it with a lighter and threw it out.
Behind them, hundreds of soldiers each held the same jar in their hands. After lighting the fire rope, they threw it at the charging Houjin Army.
Then, the sound of explosions rose and fell, and the entire ground trembled.
Earth Grenade. This thing didn't have any technical content at all, but the effect was quite good.
At the very least, in terms of power and lethality, it was much more powerful than those solid artillery shells.
"Spearmen, step forward."
Ding Jia roared loudly.
Thousands of pikemen rushed to the front of the carriage with their sharp spears.
When the Houjin cavalrymen jumped over the corpses of their own cavalrymen and rushed to the carriage, the spearmen began to attack.
The pikemen needed to find an opening and thrust the pike in their hands.
Anyway, with the modified carriage in front of them, the Houjin cavalry could forget about charging in.
Nurhachi was so angry that he smashed the horsewhip in his hand on the ground when he saw his cavalry being blocked by the carriages.
He had fought with the Ming army for so many years, but he had never felt as aggrieved as he was today.
In just a short few hundred meters, the cavalry of his own side was ravaged by cannons and shot by guns. When they reached the front of the Ming army, they actually lost more than 2,000 people.
Such a loss was undoubtedly cutting off the flesh of Houjin, which had a small population.
On the left flank of the Ming army, Tang Feng, who was controlling the ten thousand elite Ming army cavalry, sneered as he watched this scene.
Idiot, you want to use 10,000 cavalrymen to attack my 10,000-strong Spanish phalanx? Today, I will beat you until you doubt your life.
At this moment, Nurhachi's heart was bleeding.
"Infantry team, attack the right wing of the Great Ming Empire.”
Nurhachi was able to establish the Houjin regime because he had some ability. With just a glance, he could see that the Ming army's weakness was on the right wing.
His idea was simple and effective. It was to defeat the right wing and make the Ming army collapse.
According to past experience, as long as one of the Ming army troops was defeated, the other troops would also be defeated and flee.
It was the same for Sa Er Xu back then, and it was the same for the Battle of Liaoyang and Shenyang.
Seeing Nurhachi charging towards his right wing with the infantry, Tang Feng forced the cavalry to stay still.
The right wing was originally a cover he used to attract Nurhachi.
As long as he could ensure the safety of the left and central infantry phalanxes, it would be fine.
Using 20,000 soldiers to exchange for Hou Jin's 10,000 cavalry, this was a good deal.
In the Houjin Army, there was one person who remained calm.
This person was Huang Taiji.
When Nurhachi ordered the infantry to attack, Huang Taiji paid attention to Tang Feng's left wing cavalry.
When he saw that the left wing of the Ming army had no intention of moving, Huang Taiji's heart began to pound.
Then, a bad feeling welled up in his heart.
"Father, Father, Wei Zhongxian is planning to exchange the left wing for our cavalry. If we attack the left wing of the Ming army now, we will fall into his trap.”Huang Taiji chased up to Nurhachi and persuaded him.
Hearing Huang Taiji's words, Nurhachi suddenly woke up.
"Stop."
On the left flank of the Ming army, Tang Feng saw that the Golden Infantry had stopped again and frowned slightly.
"Cavalry, attack!"
Tang Feng guessed that Nurhachi or Huang Taiji must have seen through his scheme.
He also knew that the opportunity was fleeting.
If the cavalry did not attack now, the Houjin cavalry would probably escape in a short period of time.
Following his order, the ten thousand Ming Army cavalry charged towards the Houjin Cavalry like a tidal wave.
Tang Feng's cavalry moved out while Wang Zaijin led the 20,000 soldiers and moved towards the central army.
This was a very tacit cooperation.
Nurhachi was also a hero and immediately withdrew his troops.
The Houjin cavalrymen who were trapped outside the carriage heaved a sigh of relief when they heard the bugle call to retreat.
Even though the Hou Jin retreated in time, the Great Ming Cavalry was not slow either. There was still a portion of the Hou Jin Cavalry that was entangled.
After killing this part of the Houjin cavalry, Tang Feng restrained the Great Ming cavalry and forbade anyone from chasing after the Houjin cavalry.
On the other side, Nurhachi and Huang Taiji saw that the Great Ming Cavalry did not chase after them and their faces revealed disappointment.
Tang Feng sat on his horse and looked at the rear Jin army formation with a faint smile.
Perhaps at this moment, some of the Ming soldiers were on the verge of flying away. They were still thinking of chasing after the Houjin army, but he maintained absolute calm.
The Ming army had been able to gain an advantage in the battle because of the firearms and cannons, as well as the Spanish phalanx formation.
From some aspects, it was nothing more than a trick.
If they left the guns and cannons and left this impregnable army formation, they would only suffer a crushing defeat with the Ming army's combat strength and military discipline.
