Thousands of cavalrymen were charging towards them, and the pressure they gave off was indeed very strong.
It was no wonder that the Ming army, which had low morale, was almost defeated by the Jian Slave Cavalry.
However, Zhu Heng's infantry battalion did not change their expressions at all. They continued to watch everything calmly.
" Prepare to load grenade number one…Release!"
Grenade No. 1 was also a grenade filled with small metal balls and black gunpowder.
The ten cannons in the center of the formation started firing when Slave Jian was still a kilometer away.
"Boom boom boom…"
Dozens of grenades were thrown at the incoming cavalry.
Not long after, the artillery shells flew into the dense cavalry charging formation.
The fuse burned out and the grenade exploded.
Some of them exploded in the air, which was the most lethal.
Some of them exploded on the ground and could still cause great damage to people and horses.
The cannon shells exploded one after another, causing the cavalry of the Slaves of Jian to fall.
Many people and horses were blasted into pieces.
The ten cannonballs directly caused the death of dozens of cavalrymen.
Although it caused a certain disturbance to the charging cavalry of the Slaves of Creation.
However, it did not affect their charging speed.
Dege's luck was better, and he was wearing armor that weighed more than 40 pounds, so he was completely fine.
He saw a large number of cavalrymen falling in front of him.
His eyes turned red and he shouted,""Charge, charge over…"
Half a minute later, they had already rushed forward another 300 meters.
At this moment, another round of salvo came, and another ten grenades fell.
The Building Slaves cavalrymen in front were blown up again.
The explosion range of the cannonball fragments and iron balls was not large, so they only killed about 30 cavalrymen.
However, the loud explosion frightened the surrounding warhorses.
Slave Jian's warhorse had undergone some training.
However, in the face of the thunderous explosion, they could not help but be shocked.
The frightened horses began to run around.
This caused quite a bit of chaos among the charging cavalrymen.
The distance between them was from one kilometer to two hundred meters, and the cavalrymen still paid a heavy price for the artillery fire.
Hundreds of cavalrymen were lost, half of which were due to their horses being frightened.
"Musketeers, get ready."
At this moment, the Jian Slave Cavalry had split into three groups, flanking them from the front and the left and right.
Zhu Heng's heart couldn't help but grow anxious as the Jian Nu cavalry approached.
When they were about 100 meters away, Slave Jian's arrows started to fly over.
However, at such a distance, the lethality of bows and arrows was not great, and they could not penetrate the cotton armor worn by the infantry.
"Release!"
When the cavalry entered the effective shooting range of 150 meters, they were shocked.
The 1730 Brown Bess rifles in the hands of the first row of soldiers began to roar.
A puff of smoke came out of the muzzle.
A dense number of solid bullets shot out of the barrel.
It was only a range of 100 meters. Facing such a dense cavalry formation, there was no need to aim at all.
Any person or horse that was hit was either dead or crippled.
The Brown Bess Rifle was the first mass-produced standard rifle in Britain.
Its power was not weak at a distance of more than 100 meters.
Unless it was a thick cotton armor that weighed up to 40 to 50 jin.
However, there were not many of such expensive armors in Houjin.
The cotton armor worn by the soldiers weighed about seven to eight pounds.
It could neutralize the power of the Ming army's musket to a certain extent, but it could not block such a powerful flintlock.
After all, this was only mass-produced in 1730, and the technology was a hundred years apart.
The soldiers in the first row began to load their ammunition, while the soldiers in the second row began a new round of shooting.
"Bang bang bang"
The sound of gunshots rang out as dense bullets shot out.
At the same time, the artillery in the middle of the square formation had finished loading the cannonballs.
The cannonball flew out, and after flying for more than 20 meters, it formed a bow-shaped killing zone with a diameter of 6 meters in the air.
Shotguns and bullets came at them, and the cavalrymen in front of them were instantly killed.
The dense metal bullets made it impossible for them to dodge.
In an instant, there were heavy casualties. The cavalrymen of the Building Slaves who were charging at the rear were faced with the obstacles formed by their companions and horses in front of them, as well as the warhorses that were already beginning to panic.
This caused their charging formation to become chaotic.
However, the Jian Nu Cavalry were still quite capable in defeating the Great Ming soldiers.
Facing such casualties, they still charged forward fearlessly.
"Mount the bayonet and prepare to meet the enemy."
After being attacked from a distance, the charging formation of the Building Slave Cavalry was disrupted and their speed was greatly reduced.
The impact on the square formation was also greatly weakened.
At the same time, the 3,000 cavalrymen had been reduced to just over 2,000.
His aura was much weaker than before.
Faced with this new type of firearm, the decline of the cavalry could already be foreseen.
