Puff! A lead bullet struck Guards Officer Hun Dachan's head from the side and back. The sturdy fellow, who was shouting orders and brandishing a scimitar, fell to the ground with a thud, blood splattering, like a piece of wood.
Lead bullets rained down like rain. The Ming army, which was only arranged in three rows, opened up a long distance and, just like the line tactics, launched an astonishing firepower output.
The straight-line distance was only fifty meters, exactly the effective range of the muskets. In each round of volleys, over a hundred guns spewed forth flames.
The black powder grenade was thrown from a high position, and the rising black smoke became thicker and thicker, blocking Du Du's vision. Du Du's mouth opened into an "O" shape, and his mind was completely blank due to the shock of this fierce ambush.
"Lord Beile..." The captain of the personal guards noticed that the Ming army musketeers had shifted their guns and started firing at their own troops approaching the valley entrance. He hurried forward, pulled the reins, and shouted a warning: "Hurry up, it's dangerous here!"
Du Du's eyes rolled around in a daze for a moment before he came to his senses. Just as he was about to speak, there was a dull thud and the captain's head exploded like a rotten watermelon, splattering blood all over his face.
Almost at the same time, several personal soldiers around him were bombarded with blood and flesh flying everywhere, and screams were heard everywhere.
In order to lure the Jiannu into the valley, the Ming army did not ambush soldiers at the valley entrance to avoid being discovered. After the battle started, more than a dozen heavy musketeers moved towards the valley entrance.
It was this short time that gave Dudu a chance to escape. The surviving personal guards protected Dudu and urged their horses to move away. In the pursuit of musket fire, many Jiannu were hit and felled.
"You bastard, you're lucky." Flag Officer Li held up a telescope and watched the leader of the Jiannu army fleeing in panic and out of the range of the muskets. He couldn't help but curse him angrily.
The muskets continued to fire, but the grenades stopped being thrown. The smoke from the valley gradually dissipated, revealing the tragic scene of enemy corpses strewn across the ground.
"We'll have horse meat tonight!" a guard grinned. "Sir, horse meat tastes even better with wine!"
Li Qiguan also grinned widely, took out the kettle, took a big sip, and laughed with a hint of alcohol: "It's great, it's great."
