The weather is very good, and the rare sun also emits a pale light in the air. The snow on the ground reflects the sunlight, making your eyes feel a little sore and swell. The wind is not strong, but it is extremely cold. When it falls on the exposed muscles, it is like a knife scraping it.

For the Ming army, the cold weather did not have a great impact. They were almost armed to their teeth. Their whole body was exposed, with only two eyes, one mouth and two nostrils. The Qi army was much worse. It was completely incomparable to the Ming army in terms of equipment. Many soldiers solved the problem by themselves, and most of them covered their faces and wrapped them in their hands.

Such weather is actually not far from sprinkling water to make ice.

Suqian stood in the center of the position with a war horse. His clothes were exactly the same as those of ordinary soldiers around him. Except for the big flag behind him that was waving in the wind, which showed the extraordinary identity of the people in this area. The war horses around him kept sniffing, digging the hard ground with horse hooves, and occasionally stretching their mouths to arch, as if they wanted to dig out some grass roots from the ground to taste. Suqian gently stroked the horse's back, and the horse turned its head around to his face from time to time. It was common for warfare.

Thousands of people were divided into several square formations, and everyone looked silently at the horizon in the distance, and the white air coming out of their mouths and nostrils gathered together, which was quite spectacular.

At the forefront of the Central Army's main formation, a series of cannon trucks were already in place. The steel rods on the car were generally horizontally next to the car. At this time, the buckles were turned and they could be raised. After a few hammers, the steel rods were penetrated deeply into the soil. The cannon trucks were stable.

Cannons and grenades are the hot weapons equipped by the Ming army. The Ming Dynasty Type 1 naturally does not have one. The soldiers still hold big swords, spears, crossbows, etc., which are still standard equipment for the army. The only difference is that behind the formation, hundreds of large slingshots occupy a huge area.

The ground trembled slightly, and Suqian narrowed his eyes. After a while, teams of cavalry flashed from the horizon. In front of him were the scouts of the Ming army, and behind him were the cavalry team of Qi army.

There was no need for Suqian to issue an order, and the war drums at the headquarters of the Central Army immediately sounded.

The Ming army scouts cavalry ran to both sides with their horses, while the Qi cavalry behind them rushed straight towards the Ming army array. The road of about two miles was just a few breaths for the cavalry.

"Fire the cannon!" The artillery officer suddenly chopped down the little red flag he was holding. Dozens of cannons spewed out flames one by one, and the entire earth immediately trembled.

The shells landed among the galloping horses, accompanied by loud noises, fires soared into the sky, earth and rocks splashed, and snowflakes were blown up into the air, making the eyes hazy.

The sound of horse hooves was still running forward. From time to time, cavalry and horses were blown to the ground, some were broken, some were cut off by shrapnel, some looked without scars, but they twisted on the ground in pain, spitting blood in big mouths.

After the three rounds of cannons, teams of large shield soldiers quickly moved forward. With the sound of clanging, the conical shield below pierced deeply into the soil. The shields were interconnected, and spears were tied horizontally to the back of the shield and locked the entire shield wall. The shield soldiers squatted down without saying a word, and used their shoulders to hold the shield against the shield.

Behind them, the crossbow was quickly pushed up. The height design of the Ming Dynasty's crossbow was closely related to the height of the shield, which just allowed the crossbow to shoot freely. The spearmen also rushed over, and the three-meter-long piercing guns protruded out one by one. A forest of guns formed before the galloping war horses.

In just a short time, several square formations in Suqian completed the defensive arrangement of the cavalry.

The battle seems to have returned to the battle mode on this continent a few years ago.

The Qi cavalry who rushed through the death zone came with a shout and rushed towards the shield formation under the baptism of the Ming army's crossbow machine.

These cavalry are the essence of Qi** team. Whether it is the armor, the war horses under your crotch, or the weapons in your hands, they are all among the best in Qi. Some people were shot like hedgehogs, and blood was rising out, but they still rushed over bravely.

The man and horse in the front crashed into the big shield. The shield suddenly sank inward. The impact force of the horse weighing thousands of pounds was scattered. Even if the entire shield array dispersed its power, it was not something that humans could resist. At the point where they were hit, the Ming soldiers were bounced out like paper harriers, and the shield array was immediately broken. But the spear behind them was stabbed out, no matter whether they were a man or a horse, at this moment, they were stabbed into a sieve. The crossbow arrow was shot on the body, which was protected by armor or not fatal. However, when the spear stabbed, it was basically hit, and it was almost explained.

The knights in the front row successfully attracted the attack firepower of the Ming army, while the Qi army behind them waved various heavy weapons in their hands and smashed them behind the big shield.

Chain hammers, sledgehammers, etc. flew towards the Ming army like raindrops.

Some crossbows were smashed and some soldiers fell to the ground, but immediately, the vacant places were filled with new soldiers again.

The cannons roared again. This time, the cannons of our formation turned the guns, supported the friendly forces on both sides of our own, and attacked the enemy cavalry from the side.

A group of high and long-armed Ming soldiers took out grenades from their arms, pulled out the security, pulled the lead, trotted forward, and tried their best to throw the grenades in their hands out of the shield array.

With loud noises, the Qi cavalry with the spinning attack lineup fell down in groups.

Suqian didn't even look at such a battle. His eyes always fell in the distance. Finally, he saw the dark main force of Qi appearing in his sight.

One by one, one neat square array, followed by crossbow machines, powerful crossbows and thunder fire.

"Damn it." Suqian cursed. These things were all invented by the Ming Dynasty. In the past, the steel technology of the Qi people was not up to standard and could not be copied, but now, they have begun to equip the troops in large quantities.

The sound of war drums sounded from the other end of the Qi army, and the infantry suddenly accelerated their pace of advance, while the cavalry quickly pulled away to the two wings, leaving the vast battlefield in the middle to the main forces of both sides.

On both wings, the Ming army's cavalry was running towards the side of the Qi army's infantry lineup, preparing to harass the attacking Qi army's infantry.

Since the artillery was established, the Ming army no longer used iron cavalry to rush forward. The only one that maintained this combat situation was the only thunder cavalry led by thunderstorms in the Kunling War Zone, but the total number was only more than a thousand people, which was no longer the mainstream of war.

For the Ming Dynasty, no matter how strong the defensive lineup is, it will be full of holes after a round of cannon bombardment. The Qi people now have cannons, but for them, the heavy guy who is not easy to move is far less effective than the Thunderbolt Fire.

"Fire!" The artillery roared again on the artillery position. Almost at the same time as the artillery fired, the Qi army began to run forward.

Suqian also turned over the war horse and pulled up the spear that was inserted into the ground.

Above this distance, the Thunder Fire could not defeat the Ming army, so they could only be beaten passively.

Then, Suqian saw huge Kongming lanterns rising above the Qi army's positions.

"Damn, really?" Su Qian looked back at his big slingshots.

The wind was a little stronger, so the floating Kongming lanterns moved forward very quickly. In a blink of an eye, they passed over Qi Jun's head and arrived at the center of the battlefield.

Then, behind Suqian, the sound of the big slingshots fired.

Countless stones as big as fists flew into the sky and flew over the sky and the ground.

The next moment, Su Qian burst into laughter happily, and the Kongming lanterns in the middle of the battlefield fell from the air like those flying stones.

"Those things are just that. I want to go to the battlefield. Isn't it a joke to use them occasionally or take them to the battlefield seriously?" Suqian muttered, and then shouted at his artillery officer: "Can you fucking aim at those thunderbolt fires?"

The artillery officer was very aggrieved: "General Su, the enemy's thunder fire is constantly moving, and it is not easy to hit. If it really hits, it is a chance. It would be better to concentrate firepower to kill and kill the enemy's infantry on a large scale."

"You bastard, go and try your luck!" Su Qian cursed, looking at the approaching Qi army's attack lineup, and knew that the next moment, their thunder fire would also open.

"Attack!" He trotted on his horse and gradually accelerated. The Ming army lineup, which was originally still standing still, rushed forward in an instant. Even in the running, there was still a large shield in front and a spearman behind. Only a reserve force left to protect the artillery positions, slingshot positions, crossbow machines, and powerful crossbows.

The artillery was constantly on fire, and the Qi army's thunder fire finally began to fight back. In the sky, shells flew everywhere and stone bullets were scattered. The infantrymen on both sides who were approaching kept falling down.

In the sky, the last Kongming lantern was also knocked down. At this time, he had already flew over the Ming army. When he fell to the ground, he had already dispersed, but a raging fire ignited. The flames flowed around like water, causing chaos on the Ming army's positions for a while.

"It's hot tin, be careful." The officers loudly reminded the soldiers, took off the engineer shovel from their waists, dug up the soil on the ground, and poured them on the flowing flames.
