Chapter 173: Blood of the Nine Rivers (6)
"Put!"
Rows of soldiers of the Fu Han Army formed a long horizontal line, and when they reached a distance of a hundred steps from the Qing army, they began to release their guns, the hit rate of this distance was not high, and each salvo could only depend on luck, but there was an advantage, that is, it could seize a first move, and the psychological tolerance of the soldiers was also higher.
The shotgun technology in the hands of the Qing soldiers was backward, not only the power was relatively small, but also the firing range was also short, so they could only withstand the firepower of the Fu Han army all the time, and people kept falling directly from the queue.
It was not until about seventy paces before the Qing shotgunners began to shoot in formation, they poured gunpowder into a pool, on which a long lead was inserted, then stuffed the projectile and gunpowder into the muzzle, filled the pill with a tong, removed the tong, and then ignited the lead with a fire fold, the whole process was tedious to the outrageous bottom.
Bang –
A row of dull gunshots rang out, which was completely different from the crisp sound of the Fu Han army, and many shotguns exploded during the firing, but seeing the Fu Han army on the opposite side, only four or five people fell, this kind of hit rate almost made people sigh, but the Qing army seemed to have gotten used to it, and continued to prepare to fill the ammunition.
The smoke of gunpowder when it is activated has a magical power that constitutes the most peculiar flavor of this era. A large number of Qing soldiers fell in round after round of guns, their rate of fire was almost three times slower than that of the Fu Han army, and the range and power were far inferior to that of the opposite side, and the casualties became extremely heavy.
"Urgent!"
"Please decide!"
The deputy capital commander Yushan was covered in smoke and dust, he knelt on the ground, and looked at Yongjina with longing eyes, "Please also make a quick decision, our army has suffered heavy casualties, I'm afraid it won't be able to hold on!" ”
The Qing army and the Fu Han army have been in line for two hours to be shot, it can be said that they can withstand the casualties for so long, the Qing army is still cheering up a lot, which is also because of half of the Eight Banners soldiers, although they are not good at fighting, but they also know that if they don't fight at the moment, this great Qing country will be gone!
It's just that the difference between the two sides is too big to be made up for by courage, so it's not easy to be able to fight in this state without collapsing.
Yongjina's face was a little pale, he naturally saw the corpses of the Qing army stacked in the distance, but at the moment all the cards he could play had been played, and he was a little panicked in his heart: "Yushan, what do you think?" ”
Yushan said tentatively: "My lord, now that Chu Shun is already anxious with our army, it is better to let the 20,000 green battalions in Taiping Pass attack in advance, and under the front and rear attacks, it may not be able to defeat Chu Shun, but it can also solve the crisis of our army." ”
Yongjina thought about it, listened to the rumbling guns in the distance, and sent an envoy from the Linghou trail to bring a message to the Qing army in Taipingguan, ordering it to attack quickly, but what Yongjina didn't expect was that it was his warrant that completely buried the 20,000 green battalions.
At this time, the commander of the 20,000 green battalions was Li Yushan, the governor of Zhejiang land and water, and the 20,000 green battalions were mainly Zhejiang soldiers, who were born rich and were not very good at fighting, so they were arranged to guard the town of Taipingguan, but they did not expect to guard the pass well, but they received such a warrant.
Li Yushan was very unhappy about Yongjina's behavior of changing his orders and nights, he originally said that he would attack at night, but now he had turned into an immediate attack, and then looked back at those listless green battalion soldiers, and his heart was a little empty.
said that it was 20,000 people, but Li Yushan knew in his heart that this was the number on the books, and it was already very good to have seven achievements. It's just that Shangguan has an order in front of him, and no matter how helpless Li Yushan is, he has no choice but to leave the customs with the whole army.
Taiping Pass is very close to Wutong Ridge, only about a dozen miles away, so you can hear the sound of guns and cannons from a distance, which makes the Qing soldiers a little frightened, and some people are even ready to escape.
The defenders of Taiping Pass attacked, this is one thing that makes Ning Yu overjoyed, if these soldiers stay in Taiping Pass, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort, but now these defenders have gone out of the pass, the biggest support is gone, and it seems that it is not so difficult to swallow it.
Ning Yu quickly sent Cheng Ming to lead the third division, plus the first garrison division, to meet the enemy, and gave a death order, he must completely defeat it at the first time, take Taiping Pass, and cut off all the vitality of Yongjina.
The providence of heaven has come! If you don't seize the opportunity at this time, I'm afraid that Ning Yu's intestines will regret it.
Seeing that the strength of the Fu Han army was also moving on a large scale, Yongjina was subconsciously happy, and then a little sad, if the defenders of Taiping Pass were defeated, he would be miserable, and he also wanted to put more pressure on the Fu Han army, so he sent the last few thousand hand-to-hand soldiers in his hand.
It's just that these thousands of hand-to-hand soldiers can't bring victory to Yongjina, they just stabilize the front that is about to collapse a few points, and do not let the Fu Han army continue to advance to the camp.
The situation is becoming more and more deadlocked, it just depends on which side can achieve a breakthrough faster, in this regard, Yongjina has finished playing the cards in his hand, but Ning Yu is not the case.
"Gao Hu, lead the grenadier battalion, give me to smash this hard shell!"
"The key to this battle is today, and Bendu wants to eat a big meal of meat!"
In today's Fuhan Army, Ningyu's grenadier battalion is always the most trustworthy sharp knife, and each of them can immediately become a company commander when they are released, not only in terms of equipment and training, but also in terms of courage and confidence, so whenever there is such a vicious battle, it is a good time for the grenadier battalion to appear.
"Yes!" Gao Hu was wearing an iron armor and a scarlet windbreaker, nodded solemnly, and then turned around and walked out.
The banner fluttered, red as blood. A full five hundred men in armor waited quietly, their faces full of fanaticism, with a look of reverence for that man, and resolutely stepped out, and these five hundred seemed to have become 10,000 people, and went towards the center of the war.
"Grenadier battalion! There is death and no life! ”
Gao Hu was dressed in iron armor, like a giant, with a long horse chopping knife on his shoulder, and led people to the forefront, with the momentum of the direction, with the determination to destroy everything.
"Put!"
Hundreds of grenades were thrown into the enemy group, and the ordinary shape was a killing weapon on the battlefield.
Boom - Boom -
The continuous roar rang out, and almost everyone froze for a moment, and when they turned their heads, they found that a large blank space had appeared in the center of the battlefield.
"Keep put!"
The soldiers of the grenadier battalion lit grenades with fire breakers, and then threw them at the enemy, and there was another earth-shattering roar, more than 200 Qing soldiers were killed and disabled, and many more Qing soldiers could no longer withstand this kind of damage and collapsed one after another.....
The die is cast!
Ning Yu's palms were full of sweat, and he had already seen the form of the battlefield through the clairvoyant mirror he was holding, the Qing army had finally collapsed, and they had won!
