The difficult scene appeared again before Earl Charles.

Seeing that the Ming army's infantry were getting closer and closer, many nobles had just helped the left-wing formation stabilize the morale of the army and regrouped. Many flames rose from the Ming army formation and rushed straight in front of the formation. The noble cavalry and heavy infantry fronts were blown up. The French recruited the army's infantry behind began to flee in large numbers.

He could only send his only entourage as a reserve team to join the left wing formation and regroup them.

The better one is the right wing, which is a Swiss mercenary corps that has been experienced for a long time. Earl Charles knew that the Swiss were very dissatisfied with his atrocities when they were besieged in the riverside camp. However, these loyal and brave soldiers on the battlefield are very reliable, and have their own internal captain and officer system, so they can be effectively restrained without sending nobles.

Moreover, due to the existence of military orders, even if two divine power arrows hit their formation, there was not even a single deserter.

Speaking of which, they are a bit like the recruited Qi family army. The soldiers and soldiers are fellow villagers and neighbors. When the fleeing occurs, the first deserter will be caught and hanged in public. They are very afraid of this, because even if they die, their parents, brothers and even descendants will be shamed for their cowardly actions, which further leads to them being eliminated by the mercenaries when recruiting soldiers.

On the contrary, if anyone is brave in fighting, even if he dies because of this, his parents and brothers will be well taken care of and will be treated especially for his actions when recruiting soldiers.

This is a legion with extremely high tolerance on the battlefield, and there is only one thing that is not good - they do not obey orders.

Not obeying the orders of Count Charles.

Charles believed that they should gradually retreat at this time and delay as much as possible until Marshal Mathion successfully seized the powerful artillery, and then engage in battle when the artillery hits the head of the Ming army. The Swiss army had no cavalry and lacked long-range offensive power, and only had a small number of crossbows and muskets. Charles believed that fighting with the Ming army was extremely risky, but the Swiss did not listen to the advice.

The left-wing phalanx has not recovered from the collapse and assembled again, and the right-wing Swiss phalanx has advanced towards the Ming army with the military drums and flags.

There are two ways for the Swiss to deal with long-range fire strikes. If the opponent has many bows and arrows, their back row of soldiers will stalk the spear and shake it constantly in order to knock down the arrows that are shot. If there are many crossbow arrows or muskets, their response method will be more direct: charge.

They knew that the Ming army's muskets were equipped with short swords to replace spears, but the length of the weapon was about the same length as the German Dumble Swordsman's sword, far less than that of the Swiss axe, nor as good as the spear. They did not have an advantage in close combat, so the greatest possibility for them to win was in melee combat.

As long as a chaotic melee is reached, the musket will be silent.

The battlefield widths of the two sides were similar. The Ming army was a horizontal line of 100 people wide, while the Swiss army had three small square formations of thirty people wide. The difference was that the Ming army had only four rows of depth, while the Swiss square formation had a full ten rows of soldiers.

The attack on the Swiss was the horizontal team where Xu Jin was. Their troops stopped when they were about 250 steps apart. The front row of engineers paused their shields, raised the general flag arrow and blew the fire sticks, allowing the enemy to continue to approach, and then released the rockets.

The tiger squat cannons in each general flag headquarters were fired more than three times. The portable sparse tubes and medicine packs carried by the flag army were consumed. This wave of tiger squat cannons cannons cannons cannons cannons in wave attacks, and directly fire the enemy into the range of the general flag arrows.

Amid the rocket's roar, the Swiss shaking spear tactic was very successful. The general flag arrow that was supposed to be empty after the formation fell from mid-air, piercing and stabbing a hapless man, pushing him backward and knocking others out a few steps. The solid wall was pushed away, and all the soldiers beside him who gave way to him were blown into hedgehogs.

Many legions will collapse when attacked by rockets, and the extremely tenacious army will stop charging. Only the Swiss legions will accelerate their charges after being attacked by rockets and their formation will not be messy.

Their heroic performance won the respect of the Ming army, and Xu Jin and two other hundred households gave praise at the same time: "The small flag is ready!"

The hundreds of engineers who were the first to be the leader were very dissatisfied. He called for the engineers to take down the thunder in the palm of their hands hanging from their waists.

During the intensive formation charge, the Swiss army, which was holding back the force, also fought back at the Ming army. A small number of steel crossbows and muskets were shot at the opposite side by the bare Swiss infantry at a distance of nearly 150 steps.

They are not bare-skinned, but in winter wearing tight linen pants, the behavior of wearing them is no different from bare-skinned in the eyes of the Ming flag army who wears cotton jackets and cotton armor on the opposite side.

The lead bullet came, landing on the shield, making the engineer squatting behind him feel nothing. It landed on the shoulders and chests of the flag army behind him, as if it was crushed by stones.

Then the small flag arrows that were so angry that they smoked their tails flew over densely.

The Swiss phalanx continued to advance as they marched. They had only one belief that they would rush to the enemy no matter what attack they were. They would win if they entered melee.

Under this belief, no one even found that the three square arrays were one-third shorter.

The two armies entered a hundred steps, and the two small phalanxes on the left and right wings set a distance from the central army and tried to surround them on three sides. The Swiss army entered the most tense moment in their hearts. They knew that the Ming army had many muskets, and the power of the volley was extremely amazing without thinking about it. They were all waiting for the muskets to fire.

As long as the volley is finished, they can speed up their pace in the subsequent loading time, rush to the enemy, and force them to join melee.

But the Ming army has not fired.

The tall and burly Ming soldiers wearing blue foam nailed iron cotton armor held muskets and quietly seemed to be asleep.

Eighty steps, no shooting.

Sixty steps, no shooting.

At forty steps, they were close enough to hear the soothing drums and military music of the Ming army opposite. The Swiss musketeers completed the loading while marching and began their second shooting in scattered ways.

Some of the Ming army's shields were penetrated, and some of the standing Ming flag soldiers were shocked with cotton armor and crossbow arrows. Some people were hit by muskets and groaned, covered their wounds and squatted down slowly. Some people squatted for a while and stood up and looked calm.

But they still didn't shoot.

The soothing drum beats and the performance of the Ming army even made the Swiss infantry wonder whether the Ming army on the opposite side had no gunpowder.

They didn't shoot even until thirty steps.

But the figures squatting behind the shield, exposed the guns, made it impossible for the Swiss soldiers to see clearly, and the three rows of infantry scattered left and right, until the two armies were twenty steps apart.

At this time, the dense formations of the Ming army scattered, and the two wings were separated from the shield, and each soldier was one person away.

Twenty steps, thirty meters away, the Swiss soldiers had already started running with their spears and halberds, and it only took a few seconds to reach the distance in front of them.

Suddenly, the soothing drum beats added a strange high-pitched instrument, which was rapid, sharp and loud, and soared into the sky.

Hundreds of bird guns and wooden tumblers hit the chests of Ming soldiers, and the muffled sound of a drum hitting the drums, and the bird guns all emitted a smoke of gunpowder forward.

During the brief pause of the smoke, each engineer behind the shield threw a smoked iron ball forward.

The next moment, the first row of gunmen retreated to the right and loaded the bullets, and the second row of infantry raised their guns and stepped forward, and continued to shoot; the first row of gunmen pulled out the strip while pushing the second row backward, took out the cartridge and poured it into the gun barrel, and continued to retreat to the third row; the third row of infantry took the gun one step forward and continued to fill the position forward after firing the second row.

While shooting in the second row, the engineers behind the shield continued to ignite and throw a grenade together.

Then three rows of infantry fired and retreated to the rear. The engineer threw a third grenade and grabbed his steel pick and sailor axe.

When the first platoon of infantry returned to their initial position, the military order did not allow them to continue shooting. They held the bird guns loaded with ammunition, pushed down their bodies and lunges with the snow-bright guns, and stepped forward on their shields to prepare for stabbing.
