Chapter 160: The Qing Army is Defeated

As for the muskets and artillery of the bandit army, Li Shiyao and others studied for a long time, but they really couldn't find any good countermeasures.

In the end, they came up with a solution that would make some thick wooden shields for the men and horses in front of them, which could block as many bullets as they could, and then charge collectively when the distance was closed.

As long as you pull in to a distance of 100 zhang, then the army will charge. I think the casualties in this hundred or so hours can still be bearable.

As a result, the generals of the Qing army who had countermeasures also had a low heart.

According to their plan, it is indeed good, with a thick shield, it can indeed block the bullets of the musket within a hundred feet.

However, they never thought that the bandit army and artillery would still have so many artillery.

Bullets, they did block them. But where is the power of the cannonballs that the Qing army with wooden shields can stop?

"Ahh

In the sound of artillery, the attacking Qing army was bombarded and turned over.

After being hit by the cannonball, the Qing soldiers who were not protected by shields behind them were constantly knocked to the ground by Mini bullets, and at the beginning of the Qing army's attack, many wails of Qing soldiers who fell to the ground began.

"Damn it, despicable thieves, there are so many artillery pieces hidden, haven't they always had no artillery before?" Li Shiyao looked at the tragic situation of the Qing army that was shelled, and couldn't help but clench his fists and scolded loudly.

Indeed, in the few battles since the bandit army fought Li Shuyao, the bandit army has not used artillery. The fact that the bandit army has artillery is that I heard from Sitku and Yang Yingju, but they have never seen it before.

After several battles with the bandit army, Li Shuyao had never seen the bandit army use artillery. If the bandit army really had artillery, it should have been taken out and used a long time ago, and it was still needed to hide it?

Therefore, Li Shuyao and others unanimously felt that the bandit army had artillery just talking, and it was impossible for them to have artillery.

Making artillery is different from making muskets, and the difficulty is much different.

Even if the Han Army Banner has a few cannons, they are all old artillery pieces that are extremely difficult to carry. Definitely will not suppress these on the battlefield of the bandit army.

"Boom..."

Another salvo of artillery

The battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, and after several shelling and gun rows, the thick smoke greatly reduced the visibility of the battlefield.

"What's going on with these thieves? Artillery fired so fast? Aren't you afraid of exploding? One of the green battalions in the charge asked loudly

"Let's not worry about whether the thief's artillery will blow up or not, and think about how to rush through," replied another Qian.

"What else can you think, it's okay to rush past and not die." The thousand always replied

"Rush!"

With the difficult support of the army, the Qing army began to charge after reaching a distance of 100 zhang.

I have to say that Li Shiyao and others are not a way, but it is a good way. Because in addition to relying on the number of people to pile up a bloody road, they can't think of a way to crack Zhang Rui's Mini bullet like this.

At a distance of 100 zhang, the average person sprints with all his strength for about two minutes.

Two minutes is not long, but short is not short.

After the Qing soldiers shouted and the charge began, the artillery men began to change to shotguns after the last solid shell, waiting for the Qing soldiers to approach.

The fan fire formed by the shotguns mounted on the 32 guns, and the effective range of 100 meters was enough to become a nightmare for the attacking Qing soldiers. Not to mention that when the Qing soldiers attacked, the musketeers were still firing.

Nowadays, the three-stage platoon guns are at least three shots a minute.

The bandit army has more than 3,000 musketeers, and nearly 3,000 bullets are fired every minute, and even if only 30% of them hit, nearly 1,000 casualties of the Qing soldiers, let alone more than that?

When the Qing soldiers shouted to charge, the Qing army paid nearly 4,000 casualties in a short distance. The Qing army is indeed a good number of people, but this terrain makes it impossible for their tens of thousands of troops to perform, so they can only use the tactics of adding fuel.

At this time, even the charging Qing soldiers were scared no matter how stupid they were. There was no enemy in front of the smoke, but behind him was the sound of wailing everywhere.

A gust of river wind blew, and the thick smoke on the battlefield was blown away a lot, and the visibility was greatly improved.

The Qing soldiers who walked in front were almost changed several times under the gunfire of the bandit army. After a short charge, the Qing army can now see the general situation of the bandit army on the opposite side.

"It's not good, it's a cannon, lie down." A charging green battalion soldier saw the black cannon muzzle of the bandit army, and hurriedly shouted loudly.

However, when he lay down, he clearly saw the torch of the musket that had been lit with the fuse.

"Boom..."

Many of the charging Qing soldiers were swept down by the gunfire of the bandit army before they could hear the cry of the lying Qing soldiers.

"Ahh Ahh

The Qing soldiers who saw such a tragic situation in front of them couldn't stand it anymore and were afraid.

Where is this going to war, this is clearly going to die.

"Bang..."

The artillery salvo was followed by another volley of gunfire

"Ahh Run away..."

The spirit of a Qing soldier was completely crushed by this tragic situation, and he dropped the only simple knife in his hand, turned around and quickly ran back.

"Poof..."

With the sound of a knife entering the flesh, I saw that the green battalion soldier who turned around and wanted to escape was stabbed to the ground by Mr. Qian behind him.

Then the thousand general manager took out the knife from the green battalion soldier, and did not look at the green battalion soldier who fell to the ground and twitched, raised the knife and shouted: "Rush for me..."

"Bang..."

A volley of gunshots

"Poof..."

A bullet flew over and hit the Qian Zong directly.

I saw that this Qian Zong had not been able to finish the words in his mouth, so he covered his wounds and died in disbelief, dying faster than the green battalion soldier he killed.

"Ahh

The green battalion soldiers beside this Qian Zong couldn't help screaming anymore after being splashed with blood by this Qian Zong, and then shouted loudly and ran away.

The Qing soldiers in front were killed and wounded by the gunfire of the bandit artillery, and many of them were still wailing.

The artillery of the bandit army seemed to have loaded another shotgun, waiting for the Qing soldiers to approach again before firing.

The formal influence of these retreating green battalions caused the rout of the entire attacking Qing army.

"Run! If you run slowly, you won't die. ”

A green battalion soldier who retreated and ran away and tripped to the ground hurriedly supported his body with his hands, and quickly got up and shouted loudly.

Yes, the bandit army was indeed in front of the attacking Qing army. However, the instantaneous damage brought by these 32 artillery pieces completely made the attacking Qing soldiers physically and mentally unbearable.

On the battlefield, they all fought with a breath of breath, and now the morale of the Qing soldiers has made the muskets and artillery of the bandit army close to nothing. Does this Qing army still need to fight again?

If there is an escape, failure to stop it will lead to the rout of the army.

"The Qing army is defeated, rush!"

Looking at the retreating Qing soldiers, the bandit army began to shout loudly
