The shield chariots of the Later Jin army were only twenty steps away from the Ming army's defense line. The archers of the flags behind the shield chariots stepped forward. The front row steered the bow and took the arrows in their hands, squatted down their waists, and separated their steps in a 8-shaped shape, shooting directly at close range. The rear rows pointed the arrows diagonally towards the sky and shot from a long distance.

The vibration of the bowstring sounded like a piece, and the arrows roared like rain, covering the sky densely.

"Let me go!" Gao Shixin pointed forward in his hand.

It was at this time that the archers of the Later Jin army broke away from the shield chariot protection, and that was when the Ming army's long-range soldiers opened fire.

The crossbowmen drilled out from behind the shield, and the powerful crossbow in their hands aimed at the Houjin archer. The crossbowmen pressed down the hanging knife, and crossbow arrows rushed towards the Houjin archer with the whistling sound of the wind.

The powerful crossbow with his feet and hands skeletons is powerful, and the controllable performance of crossbow arrows is far greater than that of bows and arrows, and the accuracy is much higher than that of bows and arrows. The Ming army crossbowmen shot a row of crossbow arrows, retreated immediately, and reloaded the crossbow arrows.

The crossbow arrows stabbed on the Hou Jin archers easily pierced the double armor of the Hou Jin soldiers, nailing them to the ground one by one. However, the Hou Jin archers were too many, and more than 100 people were shot, and more archers were still shooting. The undead Hou Jin archers kept shooting archers one after another, and some people shot twenty rounds of arrows in one breath! At such a close distance, the arrows they shot were accurate and ruthless. Many Ming army spearmen were shot into the face or even into the eyes.

However, the Later Jin archers were in great trouble soon. The Ming army turtle dove gunmen hiding behind the big shield stretched out their gun barrels one after another. A powerful turtle dove gun spewed out the flame tongue, hitting the Later Jin soldiers, easily shooting through their armor, knocking them over in a pool of blood. The Fran machine cannon also aimed at the target, spewing out the flame tongue, and shot out the shotgun into a fan shape, knocking down a large number of Later Jin archers.

The Fujian bird gun brought back from Yan Siqi and the self-generated muskets in the hands of elite factory guards also opened fire. An exquisite bird gun spewed out the flames. The projectiles were like piercing a piece of thin paper, easily piercing the armor of the Later Jin soldiers, knocking the Later Jin archers who were desperately shooting archers one by one in a pool of blood.

The 450 factory guards Zhang Yong brought to Gao Shixin were even more powerful. They wore black pointed iron helmets, exquisite black mountain armor, and self-produced muskets. They were divided into three rows, one row of one hundred and fifty people.

The first row of musketeers pulled the trigger, and a row of fire flashed, and one hundred and fifty projectiles were shot out. The archers of the Later Jin army spewed out blood swords from their bodies. Their exquisite armor could not save them. They were hit by the self-produced musket, and both layers of armor were penetrated. A small projectile could take away an elite archer who had been practicing archery since childhood.

The row of factory guards in front immediately retreated and began to quickly load the bullets. The factory guards took out the paper shell from their waists to load the bullets, bite the tail of the paper shell, then stuffed the entire bullet into the muzzle, push the bullets to the bottom with the strip, then pulled out the strips, then opened the cover of the medicine pool, took out the medicine pot from their waists, aimed at the fire door and squeezed the medicine in, and then closed the medicine pool cover, which completed the loading.

A series of dazzling loading processes took only about ten seconds! The factory guards who had loaded up with their own fire guns came forward. The second row in front had already been fired and had already returned to load gunpowder. When the first row of musketeers stepped forward, the third row of musketeers had just fired the bullets and were returning to load them. The first row of musketeers had filled in.

The sound of Zisheng muskets continued, and these 450 factory guards never stopped for a moment. Zisheng muskets kept firing, and countless Later Jin soldiers had fallen under their muskets.

The Later Jin soldiers also noticed these elite Ming troops, but their bows and arrows could not do anything to these Ming troops. The armor on each of the 450 factory guards was armor of generals. They not only wore iron helmets on their heads, but also had iron masks of defense arrows on their faces. The heavy arrows of the Later Jin army could not penetrate their armor at all. Unless they just hit the eyes, it was almost impossible. These factory guards reacted very quickly and could not watch the arrows shoot at their faces without dodging or dodging.

These self-generated muskets designed by Zhang Yong and personally supervised by the carpenter emperor are actually less ignition failure rate than those of Western self-generated muskets, and the force used to pull the trigger is smaller.

Western self-generated muskets use fingers to pull the trigger to drive the hammer backwards. Then, under the action of a spring, the hammer with flint clamps hits the iron sheet forward, ignites the lead-in medicine in the medicine pool, ignites the launching medicine, and fires the projectile. However, these self-generated muskets do not use the trigger force to drive the hammer, but when closing the cover of the fire door of the medicine pool, presses the hammer with his hand and presses the hammer backwards. A component on the bolt will automatically jamm the hammer, which is the same as the principle of a crossbow machine. When pulling the trigger, the mechanism of the main hammer is loosened, and the hammer hits forward under the action of the spring steel sheet, ignites the lead-in medicine and launching medicine, and shoots the projectile. This structure makes it unnecessary to pull the trigger.

The self-generated muskets used by Westerners are actually dog-lock flintlock rifles made in France. When pulling the trigger, the force required by the index finger is too high, which seriously affects the aiming and shooting of the musket. Moreover, because the hammer is insufficient, after striking the flint, there is often no gunpowder to be drawn, and the machine needs to be pulled several times in a row.

From this point of view, Zhang Yong's minor changes make it more convenient to use the self-generated musket.

Archers on both wings of the Later Jin army were beaten to death and wounded, and the suppressed bows and arrows were also weakened a lot.

But at this time, the shield chariots of the Later Jin army were almost approaching the face of the Ming army's spearmen! At this moment, rows of swordsmen suddenly stood up, and suddenly one wooden handled iron lump after another flew out of their hands, and they swung in the air and smashed them to the back of the Later Jin shield chariot array ten steps away.

These iron lumps with wooden handles are wooden handle grenades made by Gao Shixin himself to Liaodong craftsmen. However, the grenades he made are not the fire-pulling type brought by Zhang Yong, but the ignition type. There is a small hole in the warhead of the grenade and there is a fuse inside. Just ignite the fuse with a fuse and throw it out.

"What?" The coaters didn't know what it was, and they dodged the grenades that were smashing towards their heads.

"Not good!" Some of the Later Jin soldiers with two yellow flags behind shouted. They had just tasted the power of this weapon. A Gao Shixin and a few people took away the wild boar skin banner with this weapon, and killed and injured many white-armored soldiers, which shocked the horses and caused countless tramplings to be carried away.

Before he finished speaking, the grenades that fell behind the shield car array exploded. Balls of fireballs exploded behind the shield car array, white smoke rose, fragments flew everywhere, countless Baoyi Aha screamed and fell down. The shield car that was about to stick to the Ming army's face suddenly stopped and stopped moving in front of the Ming army array.

"Kill the barbarians!" Two of the American Dead Soldiers from the Later Jin Dynasty shouted and rushed up to the formation of the Ming army's spearmen.

The shield chariot array advanced to about ten steps, and the tasks of Baoyi Aha were also completed. At this time, the heavy armored dead soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty could rush up to break the formation of the Ming army's spearmen.

The heavy armored dead soldiers of the Later Jin rushed out from behind the shield car and rushed towards the Ming army's spearmen formation that was only ten steps away.

"Not good!" Gao Shixin remembered that he forgot one point: the heavy armored dead soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty were not only equipped with sword cards, but also had various throwing weapons in their hands! For example, weapons such as javelins, flying axes, iron bones, etc. These weapons pose a great threat to the spearmen. The spearmen's own armor can defend against bows and arrows, but cannot defend against heavy throwing weapons.

When the heavy armored soldiers of the Later Jin rushed to the time when there were five steps left before the Ming army's spearmen, they raised their hands to throw heavy throwing weapons such as flying axes, javelins, iron bones, and flying hammers.
