Chapter 41: Instant (First Update, Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection)

A black line between the white sky and the earth struck in the direction of the city wall, with the sound of horses' hooves like rolling thunder and the roar of the Qing army.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The impact of thousands of cavalry was truly amazing, and the roar of thousands of horses when they ran made people's hearts palpitate, and even the calm earth shook with the horses' hooves.

Between the cavalry of the Qing army, there were dozens of red, black, and yellow pennants. From a distance, it looks like a dark cloud covering the sun, when approaching only a piece of red, black and yellow, flags, and when it gets closer, only a large group of horses gallops wildly, but there are no people at all, these cavalry of the Eight Banners have grown up on horseback since childhood, and naturally they will "kick and hide", they will lie on the side of the horse's belly to avoid possible attacks. And because a large number of empty horses were also charging with him, he could only see the herd of horses coming like waves, and I did not know how many cavalry there were, nor which horse carried the enemy horse.

In the face of such an impact, the phalanx, which originally seemed to be tied into a pile, suddenly had a small commotion, but perhaps because the backbone of it had seen blood before and had "killed" the Qing army in the camp, they were still barely maintaining.

"Damn, what the hell ......"

When the thunderous sound of horses' hooves came, Liu Jie only felt that his own throat was astringent, and even between his legs was a little tense and numb, as if he was holding his urine, but he still held the spear tightly.

Compared with others, Zhu Guoqiang's situation is slightly better. He looked back at the musketeers behind himβ€”the more than two thousand musketeers hadn't even had time to train, at most they had used the more than 100 bird guns they had captured, and that was it. Now even if they carry muskets, they are still good. It is not them who can really be relied on, but the guards with Mosin Nagant by their side.

"Take the flag by my side as the leader, and don't shoot until the flag is down! Cut off against orders! ”

"Violators will be killed!"

When the soldiers beside him repeated the order, Zhu Guoqiang picked up the hand-held laser rangefinder.

"2000 meters!"

Staring at the distance displayed on the rangefinder, Zhu Guoqiang shouted, and the hand holding the laser rangefinder began to sweat, and his breathing became short.

In front of the phalanx, 80 soldiers with rifles lined up in a long line, as the guards of the prince, when they heard the shouts of the prince, their hearts were all tense. Even the hand holding the gun was sweating a little.

"Everyone, prepare!"

The sound in his ears made Zhu Guoqiang swallow a little nervously, and those riflemen then put their rifles against their shoulders and aimed at the distant target according to the prior training.

"Three points and one line, aiming at the ......"

Holding the rifle, Yu Xiaobao muttered in his heart about the previous training, although there was only one day of training, he still figured out what a ruler was and what a crosshair was, and even the ruler had been set at the position of "10".

β€œ1500!”

Zhu Guoqiang shouted at the top of his voice, and as the distance got closer and closer, everyone's expressions were extremely nervous. The riflemen who stood in front of the line to aim turned pale with nervousness.

Don't say it's them, even Zhu Guoqiang himself is now having a chill in his back.

β€œ1200……”

β€œ1100…… Ready"

Finally, at the moment when the distance shown in the eyepiece became a thousand, Zhu Guoqiang shouted.

"Put!"

The roar behind him made the hearts of those heartstrings crumbling riflemen loosen violently, and they were originally extremely nervous, and they pulled the trigger the moment they heard the order.

"Bang...... Bang...... Bang"

Although the guns were staggered, the first shot was a very good one for the poorly trained guardsmen, or at least a neat salvo.

Salvo!

This is not a netizen's suggestion, but Zhu Mingzhong's idea, after the first time he took the Mosin Nagan to miss the target, he figured out one thing, unless there is a month or two for training, even if these soldiers take the Mosinagan no matter how ahead of the times, but it is almost a burning stick, just like the Qing army at the end of the Qing Dynasty, with millions of bullets, as a result, there are almost no casualties among the Eight-Nation Alliance. Learn to aim, shoot, and then concentrate on listening to the command salvo to compensate for the gap in shooting accuracy with a dense salvo of rifle fire.

A thousand meters!

This decision was made based on the power of the Mosinagan rifle's bullets, which even at a distance of thousands of kilojoules still maintained an energy of thousands of joules and could still penetrate ordinary steel plates four or five millimeters thick, enough to inflict effective casualties on the Qing troops wearing armor.

So a thousand meters is the distance they shoot. With the help of a laser rangefinder, they can get an unmistakable distance, and all that's left is the aiming shot of eighty riflemen.

Eighty rifles!

This is the weapon that Zhu Guoqiang brought from Russia, 80 bullets, and inevitably some of them flew off, and when the bullets hit the cavalry that came like a wave, it was just a small pebble thrown into the waves, and it did not cause any movement at all.

If it weren't for the fact that some of the cavalrymen who were impacting at high speed seemed to have fallen off their horses or some horses had fallen on their heels, Zhu Guoqiang would have even doubted the effect of this salvo.

"Whoosh...... Whoosh......"

Thousands of meters apart and the thunderous sound of horses' hooves roaring in their ears, those Qing troops didn't hear the gunshots at all, even if they heard the gunshots, they wouldn't have any reaction, after all, the distance is so far, the reason why they are now lying on their sides is nothing more than an instinct, although they are hiding on the side of the horse, but their eyes are still staring ahead, waiting for the distance to approach, and then when they are close enough, they will open their bows and shoot arrows, and it only takes three arrows to make these Nikan phalanxes chaotic, Then you will be able to hold up the pistol and charge the main formation.

Three arrows at once!

This is the horseback kung fu that the Eight Banners cavalry is best at.

It's closer......

Just as Battle's eyes were staring at the Ming army in the distance, he suddenly had the illusion that he was being targeted by wolves on the grassland.

How can you feel this way?

Before he could react, he felt something pass by, and the sound in his ears was a bit like the swishing sound of an arrow passing by.

What is this sound?

Is it an arrow? But how is it possible to be so far away?

Without waiting for him to figure out what was going on.

The next moment was stunned by the scene seen by the afterglow, only to see a few people as if they were hit by arrows, and fell off the horse's back suddenly, and even some horses fell to the ground as if they stumbled on the horse rope, and the people on the horse were also thrown to the ground fiercely, and the people who were thrown on the ground did not react quickly, and they were trampled by the hooves of the horses that caught up behind, even if they were wearing heavy armor, but after being trampled by the horses' hooves one after another, the intestines and other internal organs still collapsed, and the blood and feces and urine were dyed red in the gray-black ice and snow......

What's going on?

Although this terrifying scene made Battle's scalp tingle and a little confused, the cavalry still seemed to have no reaction, charging towards the Ming army.
