The horse's hooves rolled, and the Qing army's horse army charged up puffs of smoke and dust, as if showing off their strength, and rushed towards Li Zhi's thousand riflemen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Zhi had his soldiers line up in four columns of deep phalanxes - the phalanx had no flanks and could not be attacked by enemy cavalry from the flanks. The soldiers had trained countless times to organize the phalanx, and at this time they quickly adjusted, and it only took a minute to change the formation to a phalanx.

Li Zhi also asked the soldiers to spread thistles in front of the battle, turning the front 20 meters into an inaccessible forbidden area.

Li Zhi's soldiers had just finished sprinkling thistles, and the Tartars' horse army had already rushed a mile away. Li Zhi's soldiers began to load and prepare for battle.

At a distance of four hundred meters, three hundred meters, and two hundred meters, Li Zhi had already seen the face of the Tartar horse army clearly, and Li Zhi's musketeers opened fire.

Seventy musketeers in the first row of fronts opened fire on the Tartars at the same time, only to hear a crackling gunshot, and a cloud of smoke rising from the front of the trapped. Seventy bullets were fired at the Tartar soldier two hundred meters away, and they shot fiercely into the body of the Tartar soldier.

One of the Tartar armor soldiers was shot, and the bullet pierced through the iron-encrusted cotton armor he wore on the outermost part of his body, and then the chain mail he wore inside, piercing him into the right abdomen. However, the distance was too far, and the bullet lost its kinetic energy after breaking through the two layers of armor, and only pierced his body by one centimeter before stopping, and he did not suffer heavy damage.

He gritted his teeth and insisted on charging on his horse.

One of the Tartar armor who had been shot was not so lucky, he wore only one layer of armor, and the bullet pierced his iron-encrusted cotton armor, burrowed into his flesh, and broke his lungs into a bloody paste. Immediately after being shot, the infantry spat blood from his mouth and fell under the horse with a scream.

A horse in a Tartar vest was hit by a bullet, and the man on the horse rose to his feet in severe pain, throwing the soldier in the vest on his back to the ground. The torrent of military horses rolling behind stepped over the vested soldier, immediately trampling him to death, trampling him into a bloody corpse.

In just one shot, more than two dozen Tartar infantry armor were killed on their horses. The corpses of the fallen Tartars thwarted the charge of the horses behind, causing a small chaos.

The Tartars did not expect to be hit by firearms at such a distance, as if they had been punched by someone, and their morale was stagnant.

But the Tartars did not lose heart. The "Jialazhangjing", who led the horse army of the 1,000 "Aliha Chaoha Battalion", hid behind the Tartars and shouted loudly, boosting the morale of the warriors.

The Tartar Horse Army plucked up its courage and continued to rush forward.

At a distance of one hundred and sixty meters, sixty riflemen in the second row opened fire on the Tartars. Sixty more bullets pierced the gap in front of the battlefield and entered the ranks of the Tartars. In front of the Tartars' charging formation, a group of people turned on their horses, and more than 20 infantry armors that had been shot fell off their horses like rice cut by a sickle.

Their corpses became obstacles in their path, tripped over two horses behind them, and wounded two horsemen.

The morale of the Qing cavalry was shaken.

Where did this Ming army come from, why is the firepower of this firearm salvo so fierce? In just thirty steps, more than forty warriors had already lost their lives. If you want to rush to the front of the Ming army and shoot arrows, how many corpses do you need to leave behind?

And the distance is closer, will the vest soldiers wearing two layers of heavy armor also be killed by the sharp fire of this Ming army?

The cavalry of the Tartars cowered a little.

The Tartar's Jialazhangjing secretly screamed badly, and he snatched the horn of the trumpeter beside him and blew it loudly.

Hearing the sound of the horn of the Chinese army, the cavalry of the Tartars were a little more stable. They suddenly howled together, and continued to ride their horses towards the Ming army a hundred paces away.

One hundred and twenty meters away, another sixty bullets were fired.

At this distance, the accuracy of rifle shooting is already very high. Although the Tartar horses moved at high speed, they rushed head-on, and they were basically the same as stationary compared to the soldiers of the trapping regiment. Although the musketeers' shooting was not as good as 90 percent of the time they had been trained, they also had 7 or 80 percent of the hit rate. Moreover, at 120 meters, even a soldier in a two-layer vest with heavy armor could not defend himself against a cone-shaped mini bullet, which could fully shatter the internal organs under the flesh of the person who was shot.

A Tartar vest was shot in the left chest, and blood splattered violently, spraying the face of one of the cavalrymen on his left. The vest only groaned and fell under the horse.

A Tartar armor had been hit in the stomach, and he didn't feel like he had been shot until he felt cold in his abdomen, and then he realized that his intestines had come out of the wound. When he saw such a large wound, he felt that he was going to die, and with a bow of his head, he fell off his horse with a pop. The military horse behind did not slow down, stepped on his chest, and he died on the battlefield without saying a word.

Sixty rounds of bullets burst through the air, and the cavalry in front of the Tartars froze like waves crashing into the embankment. At least forty Tartar cavalry were killed.

The corpses of these horsemen, who had been knocked off their horses, turned into obstacles. The front row of the charging cavalry was again in chaos.

The Tartars were stunned by the firepower of the trapped group. Is this a war? This is nothing short of a massacre! In just a dozen breaths, the Qing army has already left nearly 100 corpses on the battlefield. The cavalry no longer rushed forward with their heads down, and they looked at the Chinese army in a panic to see if their Jiala Zhangjing had withdrawn from the army.

But what Jialazhangjing responded to them was a trumpet to continue the charge.

The cavalrymen in the front row turned pale, but they did not dare to retreat, so they could only grit their teeth and continue to rush forward.

Ninety meters away from the Ming army, rows of guns were fired, and the front row of cavalry of the Tartars was like a soulless sandbag, plopping down to the ground.

The Tartars rushed forward one after another, regardless of their heads, and finally rushed to fifty paces away from the Ming army. The first row of more than sixty Tartar cavalry raised their bows and arrows and fired at the trap regiment fifty paces away.

A rain of arrows streaked across the sky, and the seven soldiers of the trapped regiment were hit by arrows and fell to the ground screaming.

However, in response to the Tartars, it was the fifth salvo of the frontal soldiers of the trap regiment. Sixty meters away, seventy soldiers of the trapped regiment once again stood in the firing position and opened fire.

Seventy bullets were like seventy Grim Reapers, slamming into the Tartar ranks sixty meters away. The Tartar cavalry in the front row, as if named, fell under their horses one by one.

Compared to the mounted Tartar archers, the musketeers had a much higher hit rate. When the musketeer wants to aim at a certain target, he only needs to overcome the weight of the musket by a few pounds, and the user only needs to aim and pull the trigger. And when you use a bow and arrow, you have to pull it back hard, keeping ten times the strength of the musketeer.

What's more, when riding a horse to charge into battle, it was bumpy up and down, and it was impossible to aim carefully, so one of them probably shot out.

The result of the confrontation between the Tartar cavalry in the front row and the soldiers of Li Zhi's trap regiment was a crushing defeat. (To be continued.) )
