Chapter 333: Fire Gun Shooting

After the Tianwu army landed on the shore, it advanced in four rows of muskets, and the pace did not stop, and the gunfire continued.

After a few rounds of volleys, the rabble of the Tianzhu Army was already stunned, and after dropping more than 2,000 corpses, Shang Kexi shouted and galloped wildly.

The Tianwu army did not pursue, and hurried to the direction of the pontoon bridge to help.

Hearing the gunfire on the flanks, and seeing Shang Kexi coming in defeat, Geng Zhongming was shocked, leaving only more than 1,000 people to block the pontoon bridge, and the others were transferred to meet the enemy.

Gongshun Wang Kong Youde, Zhishun Wang Shang Kexi, Huaishun I Geng Zhongming, known as the King of Sanshun, three people huddle, one is prosperous, one is lost, now there are two people who have lost the battle, if Geng Zhongming does not rise up to turn the tide, their future will be very unwonderful.

Geng Zhongming was under a lot of pressure, but he was still confident that all the members of the Tianyou Army were equipped with firearms, all of which were excellent bird guns, and they were filled with Qi Jiajun's granular gunpowder, and they were proficient in operating three-stage strikes.

Such equipment and tactics are already the most advanced in the Ming Dynasty, who can be the enemy?

It's just that he never expected that times have changed!

The Tianyou Army set up a position to meet the enemy, and the vanguard of the Tianwu Army also rushed over, and the two sides lined up to face each other two hundred paces away, and the 8,000 Tianyou Army faced the 4,000 Tianwu Army.

Huang Taiji on Bauhinia Mountain frowned slightly, Monk Kong Youde was too disappointed with him, and it depends on how Geng Zhongming is.

Prince Su Haoge said: "Emperor Ama, let the sons lead the blue flag iron cavalry and drive them into the river!" ”

Huang Taiji glanced at him and said lightly: "What you have is the opportunity to fight, first let the firearms of the Han army consume them, and then my Eight Banner warriors will move again and annihilate them on the riverbank!" ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" The ministers said in unison.

The princes and ministers of Manchuria are very clear that although these Han people surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, they are not allowed to change the situation later, and they turn their heads to the Ming Dynasty, the Han army has firearms, and its strength cannot be underestimated.

Brigade commander Li Shaoyou saw that the Qing army on the opposite side was also all firearms, and began to be cautious, but caution does not mean fear, his second division and second brigade, as the main attack force, naturally would not stand stupidly waiting for lunch.

Li Shaoyou saw that the follow-up Tianwu army was coming, and formed a formation on the flank to defend against the Qing cavalry, so he relieved himself and decided to take the initiative to attack, so that the Tartars on the opposite side knew what the real firearms army was.

Li Shaoyou shouted fiercely: "Advance in formation!" ”

"Forward!"

As the shouts of the regiments and battalions sounded, the sound of "whooshing" marched neatly immediately came from the Tianwu army, and they advanced like a wall, and their might was self-contained.

The Tianwu Army's eight-petal hat and iron pointed helmet, red armor, and four thousand people approached neatly, and there seemed to be an indescribable momentum.

Geng Zhongming's face changed slightly, the strictness of the Tianwu Army's battle formation exceeded his imagination, and he suddenly felt that this battle was not easy to fight.

The formation of the Tianyou Army was slightly commotion, and there was a look of awe in everyone's eyes, and the more the Tianwu Army on the opposite side marched, the greater the pressure on them.

Geng Zhongming felt that he couldn't continue like this any longer, so he first agitated the Tianyou Army, and then ordered to fill the sub-medicine and prepare to face it.

However, Geng Zhongming did not dare to take the initiative to attack, in his understanding, the firearms army is used for defense, how to take the initiative to attack? Do you want the two sides to stand opposite each other and shoot at each other?

However, Geng Zhongming's eyes when he looked at Tianwu Jun were full of weirdness and worry, as if the other side really wanted to play like this!

The Tianwu Army has stepped into one hundred and fifty steps, or even one hundred and twenty steps, and still has no intention of stopping, and is still advancing.

Seeing that the Tianwu Army was approaching, the firecrackers of the Tianyou Army were a little panicked, and everyone looked at Geng Zhongming.

Geng Zhongming was quite calm, and immediately said: "Check the fire rope and get ready to fight!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he only heard that someone in the Tianyou army formation had released a shot, and several firecrackers around him were startled, thinking that the opposite side was fighting, and they also released their guns one after another.

"Who's shot?" Geng Zhongming yelled: "Drag them all out and cut them down!" ”

There are also a lot of firecrackers in the Qing army, in the Nurhachi era, every time the Eight Banners fight against the Ming army, they will use the firecrackers to release a few shots first, and deceive the Ming army to fire collectively, when the Ming soldiers are loading the medicine, the cavalry of the Eight Banners Army immediately covers up, and a wave disperses the Ming army array.

At that time, most of the Ming army musketeers used spoons to scoop gunpowder into the bird guns, the speed was very slow, and the granular gunpowder used by the Qi family army was not popular, not to mention the fixed paper tube gunpowder used by the Tianwu army, and the speed increased a lot.

Geng Zhongming, as a person who had come over, knew very well how many consequences the enemy would suffer if he opened fire before he even entered the firing range, and immediately beheaded a few firecrackers who did not obey the order.

Geng Zhongming said viciously: "If anyone doesn't listen to the order and opens the gun privately, he will be killed immediately!" ”

"Stop!"

When the Tianwu Army was a hundred steps away from the Tianyou Army, the brigade commander Li Shaoyou immediately ordered, and the Tianwu Army, which was marching densely and densely, stopped instantly, and suddenly quieted down.

"Check the sub-medicine and prepare for battle!"

"Kill!"

The four thousand heavenly martial soldiers shouted in unison, and the first row of a thousand musketeers collectively stepped out with their left feet, and the thousand muskets were neatly turned down, aiming their guns at the Tianyou army in front.

"it!"

Seeing that the Tianwu Army on the opposite side was operating so slippery, Geng Zhongming's younger brother Geng Zhongyu couldn't help but blurt out.

Geng Zhongming glared at him fiercely, and then ordered: "Let's fight!" ”

The fire guns of the Tianyou Army were under a lot of pressure, and after hearing the order, they couldn't wait to pull the trigger of their bird guns, and a jagged sound of bird guns sounded, and dozens of musketeers fell in the front row of the Tianwu Army.

At a distance of 100 steps, the bird gun of the Tianyou Army hit the iron armor on the Tianwu Army, even if it could not be penetrated, the power of the projectile was enough to make a person's body suffer a heavy injury, and if it was heavy, it would bleed to death.

In this era, whether it is a musket or an artillery, the lethality of a salvo in wartime is always greater than the result of taking turns to fire, but before Zhu Cihong, few people understood this truth.

Geng Zhongming was very dissatisfied with the first round of blows, and he also knew that it was very difficult to hit a shot at a distance of 100 paces with a bird gun, and the Qi family's military gunners who had been in a hundred battles only had a hit rate of 70 or 80 percent within 80 steps.

The Tianwu Army in the first row had just fallen a few dozen people, and someone immediately made up for it behind them, and the others were all motionless, holding their muskets and waiting for orders.

Li Shaoyou shook the order flag and shouted: "Fire!" ”

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Smack........"

A grand volley of firebolts rang out, and one after another burst of firelight shot out, like an invitation to Hell I sent by the king of Hades.

On the opposite side, a large blood mist suddenly appeared on the first row of firecrackers of the Heavenly Blessing Army, and then fell in pieces.

The Tianwu Army used the self-generated Lumi Gun, which was two eras ahead of the Bird Gun, and the fixed paper tube medicine used strengthened the chamber pressure and became more powerful.

The equipment of the Tianyou Army is ordinary, although it is better treated than other Han troops, and it is only wearing a layer of cotton armor inlaid with iron plates, how can it withstand the blow of the self-generated Lu Mi Gong.
