Chapter Twenty-Three: Life and Death in the Clouds

"Everybody in place. As soon as the thunder was thrown, Wang Feng's guards quickly pushed the bracket. The huge bracket filled the height of the pit at once. All the guards held their muskets aloft, and the muzzles of the black holes were pointed in front of them.

The thunderbolt is also Wang Feng's addition of a certain proportion of gunpowder on the basis of the existing thunderbolt, adding iron nails, and rubbing stones to strengthen the destructive power of the original thunderbolt. Although it has been tried many times. However, it was the first time to put into actual combat, but the effect of this first actual combat was still beyond Wang Feng's expectations. Wang Feng really wanted to equip more of such a good thing, but the official control of the Ming Dynasty was too strict, and gunpowder was priceless at all. Moreover, the amount of gunpowder consumed by the thunderbolt was large, and Wang Feng had no way to get more gunpowder at all, and even the thunderbolt in Wang Feng's hand was not easy for him to get. Without the Thunder King Peak, he could only hope that Wu Sangui would be able to come back in time.

"His grandmother's. When did the gunpowder of the Nanming barbarians become so powerful. Turai dusted off the dust splashed on his body with his hand and cursed his mother. He fought with the border army of the Ming Dynasty for many years. Even if the Ming Dynasty's firearms Tulai are all taught, they are not far from ten. It's just that it's really the first time I've seen a firearm with such a destructive power.

"Hurle. ”

"The last general!" said a thick-eyed, stout man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"I order you to lead two thousand Eight Banner warriors to attack the opponent from the flank and kill and injure a large number of enemies. The battle-hardened Turai saw through Wang Feng's intentions, and the big pit in front of him made it impossible for the cavalry to directly charge, and only by taking the method of encircling and harassing could the Ming army's ammunition be consumed in large quantities.

"Vice Admiral Qi. ”

"My lord, my lord, I'm here, I'm here!" Vice General Qi put his hand on the armor on his head and trotted over in a panic. Just now, because he didn't pass through the guò big pit after he broke off, the explosion just now made him lucky to survive, but it also made this deputy wolf bèi unbearable.

"Hmph" Tulai looked at the adjutant general of the Han army with disdain, his eyes were full of disdain, "You will lead the rest of the Han Army Eight Banners to charge from the front, and those who dare to retreat without permission will be killed." In order to further reduce the casualties of the Eight Banners, Turai directly ordered the Eight Banners of the Han Army to launch a strong attack from the front, of course, the result was clear that these people would only become the target of the Ming army, but it was the Han people who were killed and wounded, and he didn't care.

"Well, my lord, charge?" Vice Admiral Qi stammered. He had already consulted twice about the combat effectiveness of that group of Ming troops, and rushing forward without shelter and obstruction was the only way to die.

"Why, I didn't explain it, or did you not understand?" Turai glared fiercely, and the guards behind him were already holding knives in their hands, with a threatening posture.

"Yes, yes. I'll go. Vice General Qi greeted all the eight generations of Turai's ancestors in his heart, but he couldn't help but come down in his mouth.

"Brothers, charge!" Vice General Qi drew his waist knife and ran towards the front position with a loud shout. The Eight Banners of the Han Army behind him had no choice but to wave the flags and trot forward.

"Eight Banner warriors, let those Nanming barbarians learn how powerful we are, drive!" Huerle slammed his horse's legs, and the sore war horse rushed out like an arrow off the string. Soon a torrent of two thousand men diverted from the entire army.

"Hmph, you want to use this method to deal with me! You underestimate me too much!" Of course, Wang Feng knew that the fiercest Han army rushing in front of him was nothing more than cannon fodder sent by the Tartars, and the real killer was the Tartars who were constantly wandering on both sides.

Everyone listened to the order, and after shooting at the Han army three times in front of them, they ignored the Han army, aiming at Manchurian Tartars. Wang Feng decisively gave the order.

All the guards quickly adjusted their shooting angles and positions. "Release! Release!" Wang Feng's saber pressed down fiercely, a huge roar sounded, scarlet flames came out from the muzzle, and the iron egg flew forward quickly.

"Ahh

"Release, release!" 300 people kept shooting in sections, and the fiery bullets continued to harvest people's lives. Before they could get closer, the Eight Banners of the Han Army had already dropped more than a hundred corpses.

"The Han people don't fight the Han people, and the Han people don't fight the Han people!" When the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Army were desperately looking for cover, the opposite position suddenly shouted the slogan "Han people do not fight Han people." The Eight Banners of the Han Army, which was already on the verge of mental collapse, suddenly lost the courage to resist.

"Yes, we are all Han Chinese, why should we work for the Tartars!" This kind of thought began to grow in the hearts of all the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Army. All the Eight Banners of the Han Army consciously retreated and rushed up to find them to die, so they were not stupid!

Seeing the retreating Han army, Wang Feng breathed a sigh of relief. By this time, the wandering Tartars had begun to shoot. And the musketeers are back ready to shoot.

The "bang" musket spewed out tongues of fire non-stop, and dense buckshot hit the speeding cavalry. The huge force of the impact knocked the cavalry off their horses.

"Fast, increase speed. Huerle shouted, whipping his horse in his hand, increasing his speed over and over again. "Whoosh!" Huerle shot an arrow with a bow, and a Ming soldier fell in response. As the warrior of the Eight Banners, every man of the Eight Banners has good archery skills, and Huerlena is the best among them.

"Whoosh" The Eight Banners cavalry kept bending their bows and shooting arrows, and they kept shooting at the Ming army with the bows and arrows in their hands. Although the Eight Banners are excellent in archery, their extremely fast speed and limited strike range give them a clear disadvantage in the confrontation.

Tourai's brow tightened again. He didn't expect that the muskets of the Ming army would be able to draw with the bows and arrows of the Eight Banners. You must know that in the past, the Ming army could only shoot so many times, and it was crushed under the blow of the Eight Banners bow and arrow. Now this dense and continuous firepower makes Turai feel a little scared. "Urge: "You give me 5,000 iron cavalry to drive those Han people and charge from the front."

Seeing that it was unfavorable, Turai directly urged Urg to launch a strong attack from the front, and Turai judged from the sound of these two muskets that the Ming army on the opposite side did not have many men. Rather than adding fuel to the tactics, it is better to make a strong attack, and Turai believes that no army can survive an hour under the strong attack of the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry.

Just as Urg led his troops to attack, the earth suddenly trembled, and the sound of thunder was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, the right side of Hurle became dusty. A heavily armored iron cavalry rushed into the formation like a torrent. The two groups of men collided heavily. Huerle and his subordinates did not expect that there would be cavalry, and the bows and arrows in their hands did not play a role in hand-to-hand combat at all, and many of the soldiers of the Eight Banners were wiped by the black-armored cavalry before they could draw their swords. With a single charge, the Tartars dropped more than two hundred corpses.

"Formation" Hurle quickly gathered his cavalry. At this time, there were less than 2,000 horses left of the 3,000 men.

"Quick, Urg go and pick up Huerle. "The sudden appearance of the Ming army's heavily armored iron cavalry disrupted Tulai's plans. I thought that this group of Ming troops was a group of lone musket teams, but I didn't expect that the musket team was just a decoy, and the iron cavalry was the main event. "Then I'll destroy your cavalry first. ”

"Phew. Zuo Mengqi quickly turned the horse's head, the impact just now consumed a lot of horsepower, and the war horse under his crotch had begun to gasp. Although the Don hippopotamus under the crotch is struggling. But this long impact must have been unbearable. The brethren in the cloud camp quickly completed the transfer.

"Camp in the clouds, there is life and no death! rush!" Zuo Mengqi took the lead in the charge. What the heavy cavalry wants from the light cavalry is a quick battle, and a long delay will only lead to death.

"Scatter" Huerle is not a fool, he will not engage with the heavy cavalry in hand-to-hand combat, that can only be to find death. The confrontation of strength could not be done, so Huerle used his speed to drag the Ming army to death.

Zuo Mengqi slashed down a Tartar who collided head-on, and this time in the charge, the Tartar only dropped more than fifty corpses, and the Ming army also dropped a dozen people. With the support of 5,000 cavalry from Urge, Huerle led his troops to begin to press step by step, compressing the charging space of the Ming army step by step.

Losing the impact of the distance, Zuo Mengqi could only choose to engage in close combat, and the metal collided with each other with heavy sounds. Four or five Tartars surrounded a Ming army, constantly brandishing short knives. A small colonel in the cloud camp had just slit the throat of a Tartar before he could turn around, and a spear had been submerged in his back, and he fell weakly.
