Chapter 214: Arrogant Tartar
The centurion gave an order, and suddenly a hundred arrows were fired.
This is called blind shooting, experienced soldiers know what is going on, and this situation can be seen in some anti-Japanese dramas, which is actually a kind of temptation.
Although it was a blind shot, the power was not small, because the opponent did not dare to move at all, even if he was hit by a bullet, he could only endure it before he was exposed.
"Whoosh"
"Puff"
Can this kind of shooting without a target hit a person? Of course, as long as you are in range, there will always be a few unlucky people who will be shot.
At least a dozen of the Red Flag Tartars were shot, three of them were killed, but Shuto did not speak, and the Tartars did not dare to move.
The fighting quality of the Eastern Captivity cavalry is indeed much higher than that of the ordinary Ming army, and if it is replaced by the Ming army under the command of Zuo Liangyu and others, some people will definitely get up and run away.
At the end of a round of shooting, no abnormalities were found, and Liu Jinpeng led his command to turn the horse's head and leave.
"Lord Belle, we have more than a dozen warriors wounded, and three dead."
Seeing the Ming army going away, a Niu Lu Ezhen hurriedly reported the casualties to Shuotuo, who was in pain at that time.
It is really difficult for the Eight Banners of the Eastern Capture to bear the death of Niu Lu in battle, and their soldiers cannot be replenished at all, almost one less than one dies.
Shuoto gritted his teeth and said hatefully:
"The warriors are all in good shape, and when the quartermaster of the Ming Dog will come, Ben Belle will surely avenge them, and his bows and arrows will be ready for battle."
"Chirp"
Huang Fei sat on the ground with his back to the grain truck, stretched out his hand to take the kettle handed by the army, opened the lid of the kettle and just took a few sips, when Liu Jinpeng and others arrived with Pegasus.
Turning over and jumping off the war horse, Liu Jinpeng wiped the cold sweat on his head, walked quickly to Huang Fei and bowed down:
"Dudu, something is not good, there seems to be the sound of war horses moving in the forest, but the subordinates fired a volley into the forest, but there was no movement at all."
"What?"
"Quick, telescope."
Huang Fei stood up suddenly, and immediately took the binoculars and looked at the trees ahead.
His telescope was a system creation, much more advanced than the single-barreled telescope of the Eastern Tartars.
After looking at it for a long time, there were dense artemisia grass in front of me, and I didn't find a single figure, let alone a war horse.
But Huang Fei is still not at ease, there must be no problems with military supplies and grain and grass, it is related to the process of the Ming Dynasty's recovery of Liaodong.
"Liu Jinpeng, in order to ensure the safety of the military rations, you immediately lead a team of 100 people to Liaoyang, and ask Qi Dudu to send an army to receive the grain, rest assured, even if there are a large number of eastern cavalry in ambush in the forest, they will not dare to dispatch for the time being, you should be safe, go quickly."
"Yes"
After Liu Jinpeng led his troops away, Huang Fei immediately ordered:
"Soldiers, we may be in trouble, flintlock pistols are immediately reloaded, ready to meet at any time."
"Yes"
As soon as this side was arranged, and the red flag was inlaid in the east, it was found that a group of Ming cavalry was coming again.
Hurriedly reported to Shuoto, Shuoto shook his head:
"Ignore them, pay attention to concealment, they dare not go into the forest to check."
While Shuo Tuo was talking, Liu Jinpeng led a team of 100 people to quickly rush to a position parallel to the woods.
The Eastern Tartars lay on the ground and did not move, thinking that the Ming army was going to shoot blindly for a while.
But the Ming army did not even stop, but accelerated to rush through the place where he was ambushed.
When a Niu Lu saw the Ming army passing, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and finally he didn't have to eat guns with grievances.
"Haha, Lord Belle, Minggou has passed, and he hasn't found us at all"
"Bastard, treacherous Minggou, Nissan immediately led a Niu Lu to chase after him, he must kill all of this team of Minggou to Ben Baylor, and none of them can be let go, and the others will attack the Minggou camp with Lord Baylor."
"Chirp"
Shuoto couldn't help frowning when he saw the Ming army quickly passing through their ambush site.
did not hesitate to give the order to attack, and also ambushed a ball, making it clear that the other party had discovered them.
The Ming army detachment that passed just now must have gone to ask for help, and once the other party's reinforcements arrived, their efforts for so many days would be in vain.
Lying on the ground and unable to resist, let the opponent shoot, these Eastern Prisoners have long been suffocated.
Hearing Shuoto's order to attack, they agreed and immediately got on their horses and rushed out of the woods.
Nissan led a Niu Lu to pursue Liu Jinpeng, and the other Tartars rushed towards Huang Fei.
In fact, the Ming army did not find them, and Huang Fei only asked Liu Jinpeng to go to Liaoyang for help for safety.
Shuoto's decision cannot be said to be a failure, but at least it completely renders his originally planned tactics completely useless.
The dozen or so cavalrymen who were killed and wounded by flintlock muskets because they lurked in the forest were not worth it.
Nissan led a Niulu 300 Eastern Captivity cavalry to rush out of the woods and chased Liu Jinpeng and the others at a gallop.
Hearing a violent sound from behind, Liu Jinpeng didn't have to look back, he knew that there were cavalry chasing him.
Although they were not Zhu Youzhen's summons, they were also well-trained Ming troops.
Especially after the arrival of the instructors sent by the Shenji Battalion of the Ministry of War, their tactical literacy and other aspects have improved to a higher level, and they have long been incomparable to the previous Ming army.
I had never fought with the Eastern Cavalry before, and I had heard that the Eastern Cavalry was super powerful.
What eight flags are not more than 10,000, and more than 10,000 are invincible.
After joining the Great Ming Naval Division, he has recently fought against the Eastern Capture Tartars many times.
They found that the Eastern Capture Tartars were nothing more than that, and now these Ming troops were not afraid of the Eastern Capture Tartars.
Liu Jinpeng knew that almost all the cavalry horses of the Eastern Captivity were faster than the ordinary Ming army, and they must not be allowed to catch up with the impact from behind, if that was the case, they would be completely defeated today.
Looking back, the number of Eastern Tartars was small, and they were about five hundred paces away.
Liu Jinpeng shouted without hesitation:
"Brothers of the Ming army, there are not many Tartars in the east, we can't compare the speed with the Tartars, all of them dismount and line up to meet the enemy."
"Yes"
One hundred Ming troops reined in their horses, quickly jumped off their horses, and formed a three-layer formation, with thirty-three people in each row.
As soon as they were in their position, the Eastern Cavalry was only about three hundred paces away from them.
However, none of these Ming troops panicked, and all of them calmly aimed their guns at the rushing Tartar cavalry.
Now all the Ming troops who entered Liaodong and Mengyuan, Zhu Youzhen prepared flintlock pistols for them.
In addition to the great improvement of the fighting quality of the Ming army, the Ming army was more confident in the flintlock pistol in the opponent, and this was the confidence.
Liu Jinpeng looked coldly at the cavalry that was rushing quickly from the Eastern Capture Tartars, and raised his right hand high, waiting for the Eastern Capture Tartars to enter the range of the flintlock pistol.
When the Eastern Cavalry saw that the Ming army suddenly stopped running, they dismounted and aimed their guns at them, and many Eastern Cavalry began to laugh at the Ming army.
"Look, those bright dogs in front of you are ready to duel with me in the Qing Dynasty."
"Haha," I didn't know how to light the arquebus at such a close distance, and we had already broken up their ranks before their guns could be fired. ”
"Yes, they must have been scared stupid, and they all turned into two-legged sheep"
In the past, most of the Ming troops were indeed as the Eastern Raiders said, and they were scattered by the Eastern Cavalry after only one shot, and there was no chance to fire a second shot at all.
In the eyes of the Eastern Cavalry, one Niulu cavalry in the Eastern Capture is enough to rival thousands of Ming troops.
In fact, there have been countless such battles.
Today, when a Niulu 300 cavalry was captured in the east to face a 100 Ming army, how could they take Liu Jinpeng and the others in their eyes.
After entering the distance of two hundred paces, the Eastern Cavalry began to speed up, preparing for a shock to completely annihilate the Ming army.
At this time, Liu Jinpeng's raised arm still did not let go.
"120 steps, first row shots"
After visually inspecting the 120 paces of the Eastern Cavalry, Liu Jinpeng waved his arm sharply and gave the order to open fire.
The Ming army in the front row, almost at the same time as Liu Jinpeng gave the order, pulled the trigger of the flintlock pistol.
Thirty-three flintlock muskets spewed out thirty-three tongues of fire at the Eastern Cavalry.
"Bang Bang Bang"
