Chapter 103: Waiting in line to be shot (ask for the first order)
Since Kong Youde and others surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Huang Taiji used this to form the Han Eight Banners, which mainly used firearms, the combat methods of Jiannu changed.
Basically, every time there was a field battle with the Ming army, the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty stepped forward with firearms to shoot, so as to stimulate the Ming army's firearms to shoot.
Then, the iron cavalry of the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Manchurian Eight Banners took advantage of the air attack of the Ming army to reload ammunition after the first round of firing and then charged over, disrupting the Ming army's firearms formation.
Because the Ming army used arquebuses, the loading was slow and the firing speed was slow, so after the first round of shooting, the Jiannu Iron Cavalry would have a chance to charge over.
This mode of warfare made Jiannu invincible when fighting against the Ming army.
But now the mighty military has flintlock pistols that can be loaded and fired two to three rounds a minute, without the need to light the arquebus.
Therefore, this method of warfare can be completely restrained.
Li Guoying began to advance with the Han Eight Banners, and they did not dare to reload ammunition too close to the Manchurian Jiannu and the Mongol Jiannu, because then if the barrel of the gun exploded, it would accidentally injure the Manchurian Jiannu and the Mongol Jiannu.
Of course.
Groups of Han Eight Banner soldiers are advancing, although they are cannon fodder for Jiannu, they are not really afraid of the Ming army, and when they bully their compatriots, they are even more ferocious than Jiannu sometimes.
When they had advanced a hundred paces, they stopped and began to reload their ammunition.
Lu Yuan could see that this group of Han Eight Banner soldiers was also well-trained, with firearms hands standing neatly in three columns, and the supervising cavalry in the back, and the loading was also quite orderly.
"The artillery team will stay behind to attack the Jiannu Iron Cavalry behind! Infantry shoots in the first and second rounds! ”
The range of the flintlock pistols of the mighty army was between 100 and 150 paces, and the effective range was within 100 paces.
At this time, these Han Eight Banner soldiers also took the range of arquebuses as their experience, and thought that they would not be attacked by firearms when they stood at a distance of 100 paces from the mighty army.
As everyone knows, the flintlock pistols of the mighty army can completely line up and shoot them.
In the Han Dynasty, China installed a light gate on the crossbow arrows, and now the flintlock pistols of the mighty army are also installed, equipped with a front sight and a light door, and the target within 100 steps can not only be shot in line but also achieve precision strikes.
What's more, this group of Han Eight Banner soldiers still stood in place like a target that could not fall to the ground, without the slightest defense, which was more conducive to being targeted by the first row of powerful gunners.
"Shoot!"
Shen Guangzu and Tang Xin gave the order to launch at the same time.
The first row of firearms of the infantry company of the mighty army immediately pulled the trigger.
Because the barrel drilled by Chunfeng steel is more airtight, after all, it is drilled directly without welding the barrel, coupled with a strict inspection process, so the firearms of the mighty army naturally do not have to worry about the sudden explosion of the musket.
The dense projectiles quickly broke through the void in the puffs of white smoke and rushed straight towards this group of Han Eight Banner soldiers.
Suddenly.
This group of Han Eight Banner soldiers hadn't had time to raise their heads yet.
Blood holes were opened in the chest, forehead, and abdomen.
Like the cut wheat falling to the ground in stubble.
"Ahh
"Ahh
"Ahh
A scream came.
The first row of Han Eight Banner soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and those who were lucky enough to not die were crying wolves on the ground.
The soldiers of the Han Eight Banners in the second platoon instinctively fired back, and seemed to have forgotten to follow the instructions of the front row to shoot before shooting during training.
I also forgot that it was not yet within range.
These sporadic shots simply did not hit the front of the mighty army, and the accuracy was also very low.
On the side of the mighty army, the second row quickly followed the first row and pulled the trigger, and the rows of flintlock lead bullets overturned again, like a black tide with bursts of white waves.
Although the white smoke of the second row when the black powder burned affected the aiming and reduced the accuracy, the rows of projectiles still caused the firearms of the Han Eight Banners in the second row and even the third row to suffer a heavy blow!
Immediately after that, the third row of firearms men continued to shoot!
The dense projectiles form a dense rain of bullets, which seems to have no intention of stopping.
The soldiers of the Eight Banners of Han panicked.
Because this battle was completely unfought, he couldn't shoot on his side, and he shot slowly, but the muskets of the Ming army on the opposite side could accurately shoot him, and he didn't even stop at all.
The Han Eight Banner soldiers in the back row, who were lucky not to be shot, ran desperately backwards.
Li Guoying had no choice but to take the war cavalry to directly hack to death these wolf-running firearms of the Han Eight Banners, and ordered these firearms to disperse to the left and right flanks to avoid disrupting the army formation, and at the same time, even the wounded who were howling on the ground were also hacked to death!
"Adjutant General Li, take your cavalry and rush over!"
Jia Er Zhen Chang Ah Dai's face was as cold as ice, and he ordered Li Guoying, he naturally saw that this Ming army firearms seemed to be sharper, with a longer range and a faster rate of fire, but he still did not choose to give up the determination to eat this Ming army, and even at this moment, the tough offensive shown by this Ming army inspired his heart even more, and he was more determined to defeat this Ming army, capture its firearms, and then dedicate it to His Majesty Huang Taiji, that would definitely be a great achievement!
And Chang Adai ordered Li Guoying to rush over with the cavalry, naturally he still wanted Li Guoying's Han Eight Banner cavalry to serve as cannon fodder.
Although the current musket shooting of the Ming army has stopped, Chang Adai also saw that there are tiger squat cannons and a kind of artillery that has never been seen in front of the Ming army, although Chang Adai does not know what kind of cannon is this kind of artillery placed on the four-wheeled vehicle and has a turntable and baffle, but he knows the power of the tiger squat cannon, when he followed his father Mandahai to Liaodong, he encountered the power of this tiger squat cannon, this kind of artillery can be continuously changed to fire, and a bullet is extremely powerful and can directly break the leather shield.
Therefore, Chang Adai wanted Li Guoying's Han Eight Banner cavalry to attract Ming artillery.
When the Ming artillery bombarded the cavalry of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, he let the cavalry of the Eight Banners of Mongolia charge, so that the peak of the Ming army could be defeated.
Li Guoying knew that his Han Eight Banners were the life of cannon fodder, but he also knew that the artillery fire of the Ming army was stronger than that of the Ming army and the powerful Jiannu as the enemy, although he also saw the sharpness of the firearms of the Ming army on the opposite side, but according to his previous combat experience, he knew that after the first round of three-line shooting, it would take a period of time for the firearms to load the ammunition, and this time was the most conducive time for the cavalry to charge.
Thereupon.
This Li Guoying ordered the iron cavalry of the Han Eight Banners to rush over.
A hundred steps away, the dust and smoke were suddenly lifted, and these Han Eight Banner cavalry who surrendered to Jiannu and shaved their hair and changed their uniforms seemed to be infected with the wildness of Jiannu, and rushed directly towards the mighty army camp with a roar, and the galloping war horses exploded like thunder!
Syllable!
Syllable!
Syllable!
However.
Instead of arquebuses, the mighty army was armed with flintlock pistols.
The reloading speed of the flintlock pistol far exceeded that of the arquebus.
When the cavalry of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty rushed in, the firearms of the mighty army had already loaded their guns and bullets, and the paper shells that had been fixed for a long time also omitted the step of gunpowder in the hands of the mighty army's firearms.
Dense projectiles swept again in rows in a very short time.
The barrel drilled by the mighty military Chunfeng Machinery Company with a high-carbon steel drill knife is smoother, giving the flintlock gun bullet a greater muzzle velocity, and the flintlock lead projectile breaks through the Han Eight Banner cavalry horses in a more violent way, directly impacting the flesh and blood in its body.
The horses that had been shot in the cavalry camp of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty fell to the ground and roared fiercely.
And the cavalry on the war horse was also directly hit by a bullet, and flew out directly under the action of inertia, fell to the ground, and fell to death!
