As we got closer and closer to the beach, the ground gradually changed from hard ground to soft mud soaked by river water.

Step on the horse's hoof, and if you are not careful, you will sink very deep.

It can't even be pulled out at all!

The speed of the cavalry's advance gradually slowed down, and the next moment, there were crisp gunshots on the beachhead.

Snapped!clap clap!

Some Ming soldiers aimed at the enemy and pulled the trigger.

There was a crisp gunshot, and plumes of gunpowder smoke rose from the muzzle.

A Qing soldier who was riding forward paused, fell backwards and fell into the mud on the beach.

A flower of blood bloomed on his chest!
The blood seemed to be free of money, gushing out like a fountain.

Snapped!clap clap!

As gunshots were fired one after another, Qing cavalrymen fell to the ground one after another.

The ultra-long range and ultra-high hit rate of the rifled gun are fully revealed.

For a while, the Qing army's offensive was frustrated!

Due to the terrain of the beachhead, the Qing army's cavalry's greatest advantage, speed, could not be brought into play at all.

Facing the Ming army with a generational difference in weapons and them, it is natural to suffer!

There are also soldiers of the Qing army who bent their bows and set arrows to shoot at each other with the musketeers of the Ming army!
However, since the distance between the two sides had already exceeded the effective range of bows and arrows, the Qing army's counterattack had little effect.

Ding Shi stood behind the parapet, commanding the Ming army to meet the enemy.

An arrow came head-on, but its strength had already been exhausted, and it became limp and powerless. After receiving the arrow with his bare hands, he grabbed the shaft of the arrow and squeezed it in his hand.

Throwing the arrow in his hand aside casually, he said with a look of disdain.

"That's all!"

"It seems that the cavalry and archers of the Qing army are only as good as this!"

"..."

Although Ding Shi was disdainful, his heart was already full of vigilance.

He said this just to increase the confidence of the soldiers below!

To be fair, the Qing army's archers are not bad!

Even if the arrow is exhausted, it is definitely not bad.

Bows and arrows are no better than muskets. Once the distance exceeds a hundred steps, if you want to kill the enemy, only a few good players who can draw a strong bow can do it.

As for more than two hundred steps...

Bows and arrows basically have no killing effect.

Unless it's a big piece like a bed crossbow!

The archers of the Qing army also realized this, and began to spread out to find bunkers, and rushed forward.

Prepare to close the distance with the Ming army!
As the distance continued to increase, the shooting accuracy of the Ming army musketeers also continued to increase.

Snapped!clap clap!

The sound of crisp musket shooting continued one after another, and lead bullets flew across the battlefield.

Drill into people's bodies, or shoot into the soft mud on the ground, and the mud splashes everywhere.

During this process, soldiers of the Qing army were repeatedly hit by muskets and fell to the ground. Those who survived by chance let out howls and screams.

Blood DC!

The Qing army carried the casualties like this, and approached within a hundred steps of the Ming army.

Then, they began to fight back.

collapse!Bumble!

Crash!
The sound of the bowstring trembling continued one after another, and the arrows formed a rain of arrows, splashing down.

As if he didn't want money, he shot towards the Ming army's position.

Although the arrows are projectiles, so the accuracy is not very good, but there are still Ming soldiers who fall to the ground with arrows.

Medical soldiers are busy everywhere on the battlefield, treating their own wounded.

A wounded soldier was dragged off the battlefield, and after a simple bandage treatment, he was transferred back to his own navy ship in a small boat.

At the same time, the artillery of the Ming army also began to fire.

Thick gunpowder smoke spewed out from the muzzle of a Menfraun machine gun, and dense rounds of shells shot towards the enemy in front of them.

Pfft!Pfft!
Countless shotguns tore apart the bodies of soldiers of the Qing army, splashing blood.

Countless projectiles sank into the mud, hitting the soft beachhead

Mud splashed everywhere.

A soldier of the Qing army let out a scream!

Their screams with broken arms and legs were terrifying.

Unlike the Ming army, which had a complete military medical system, the wounded soldiers of the Qing army were just randomly discarded on the battlefield, and no one paid any attention to them.

The Franco cannon of the Ming army is an improved version, and both the breech block and the sub-powder have been improved.

While not affecting the rate of fire, it greatly enhanced the range and power of the Franc machine rapid-fire gun.

Since it is unrealistic to equip breech-loading cannons now, many of the research results on breech-loading cannons in Daming's arsenal were used in the Franc machine guns.

The range and rate of fire of the Flang machine guns equipped by the Ming army have been greatly improved.

Although if it is used for attacking fortifications or confronting battleships in sea battles, the Fran cannon is still not qualified, because the structure of its rear installation is almost meaningless in terms of power.

But if it is only used for infantry support firepower, the Fran cannon is currently the best choice.

Among them, one of the most important reasons is the fast rate of fire of the Franc cannon!

If the gunner is proficient enough for the rear-loading gun of the Franc machine rapid-fire gun, three or four rounds can be fired in 20 seconds before the battle.

As for ordinary front-mounted artillery, no matter how skilled the gunner is, it is not bad to be able to fire two rounds in one minute.

Under the blockade of the Ming army's muskets and artillery, the Qing army could not kill them for a while.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, the main force of the Qing army commanded by Fei Yanggu came up.

Amidst the earth-shattering shouts of killing, teams of Qing troops pressed down on the Ming army positions on the beach from all directions.

Seeing more and more Qing troops swarming in, Ding Shi frowned inadvertently, looked around, and said.

"Send someone to send a message to the fleet, saying that our department needs them to provide fire cover!"

As Ding Shi's request for help was sent to the fleet floating on the river, Daming's fleet also started to move.

The gun ports on the side of the ship were opened, revealing a series of dark gun ports.

The muzzle of the artillery was aimed at the beachhead in Jiangbei, as if ready to give the order to fire at any time.

"Test shot!"

Following the order of Wu Ming, the commander of the Ming army fleet.

The fleet of the Ming army began to test artillery fire. Amidst the rumbling sound of shelling, the shells shot towards the beach.

Heavy artillery shells hit the beachhead, splashing mud and water!
The shock wave formed by the explosion of the flower bomb engulfed the fragments and swept around.

After the test firing, the Ming army fleet made fine adjustments to the muzzle and was ready to fire.

When the main force of the Qing army entered the battlefield, the naval guns of the Ming army began to roar!
Amidst the rumbling explosion, shells shot towards the beach.

Boom!Boom!
Explosion sounded continuously.

The attacking troops of the Qing army were smashed by shells in an instant, and a group of people turned their backs on their backs.

The rapid-fire artillery of the Ming army also began to fire!
Countless cannonballs formed a barrage and shot towards the Qing army in front of them.

After plowing through the barrage of shotgun shells, the Qing army in front of them was beaten to pieces in an instant.

Countless people fell off their horses and died tragically, their bodies fell into the cold muddy water!
