Chapter 657: Zilharang
The iron projectiles fired from the shotgun suddenly dominated the battlefield, and in an instant, more than a thousand vest soldiers in the front row were knocked to the ground. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Even if the vest soldier is wearing two layers of iron armor, the iron projectile can pierce two layers of people and horses. The front line of the Tartar's arrow array suddenly splattered with blood, like red fireworks blooming everywhere.
This shotgun bombardment is arguably the most horrific massacre of our time. The Tartar was suddenly startled by the lethality of the cannon, and the pace of the charge slowed down a little.
However, just a few seconds after the Manchu cavalry soldiers in the front row hesitated, Zilharang, who was rushing into the formation, sounded the conch horn to continue the charge.
A huge dragon banner with a blue background and red edge was held high by Zilharang's personal guards, announcing to all the Qing warriors who rushed into battle: The blue flag master Zilharang is at the forefront of the front arrow formation, and is charging with other warriors.
Following the conch horn sounded by Zilharang himself, the heralds around Zilharang also sounded the conch horn. Seven or eight horns sounded at the same time on the battlefield several miles long, and the Manchu soldiers, who were shocked by the cannon shots, seemed to have been shot in the blood, and once again mustered up the courage to rush towards the formation in front.
Li Zhi saw Zilharang, who was boosting the morale of the Manchu soldiers, and snorted coldly.
"Zu Dashou, which slave general is that?"
Zu Dashou clenched his fists and said: "Grandpa Guoguo, that is the owner of the Tartar inlaid blue flag, Prince Zheng Jierharang." ”
Li Zhi looked at the position of Jierharang and felt that this position of Prince Zheng was quite high. There were probably four or five layers of soldiers and horses in front of him. Zilharan probably felt that this position was not to be shot by a marksman, but was high enough to inspire the courage of the other soldiers.
Zilharang didn't know how powerful Li Zhi's cannon was.
Li Zhi waved his horsewhip and said, "Zhong Feng, you go up and command the continuous shooting of the shotgun and kill this Jilharang who is in the formation." ”
Zhong Feng nodded, and rode to the artillery to command the artillery who were loading.
The Qing soldiers' sharp arrow formation quickly advanced, rushing all the way to a hundred and seventy meters away from the Tiger Ben Army. At this distance, the Tiger GI's ordinary rifle still couldn't penetrate the Tartar's double heavy armor. The Tartars were hunted in front of the battle, and it was still the sharpshooters who aimed at the Tartars' heads and shot their heads.
However, there was a new company commander who was too nervous, and this company commander happened to be facing the blue flag lord Zilharang who rushed over. It was probably the dozen or so conch horns that sounded in a row that frightened him, and he made a mistake. Before the Tartar in front of him rushed to a killing distance of one hundred and twenty meters, he waved his command knife: "Shoot!" ”
Forty GIs in the first platoon of this company fired in unison, shooting at the heavily armored Tartars one hundred and fifty meters away. I only saw the Tartars in front of me one by one, and suddenly more than 20 people were shot by the GI's rifles.
But the bullet still can't break through the two layers of heavy armor at this distance, and even if it can get away with it, there is no kinetic energy to tear the muscles under the skin. The Tartars who had been shot only shook their bodies, and then sat up straight again without hindrance and continued to charge forward.
When Zilharang saw this, he laughed.
"Kill! Kill Li Zhizhong's army! ”
The Tartars beside him were encouraged by the prince and shouted in unison:
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Seven or eight heralds beside Zilharang sounded their horns again. The desolate sound of the conch horn sounded again throughout the battlefield, and with the swaying blue flag of the main dragon flag, it once again inspired the 60,000 cavalry who rushed forward.
However, at the moment when the conch horn sounded, Li Zhi's heavy cannon opened fire again.
Ninety-two cannons bombarded the Tartar cavalry that rushed up, killing more than 1,000 Tartars in an instant.
However, the eight cannons opposite Zilharang did not fire at the same time. Rather, it's a two-two-door shot. The first two cannons opened fire on the soldiers in front of Zilharang. Six hundred rounds of iron projectiles were fired at the soldiers in the first two layers, and in an instant, the Tartars were beaten to a bloody pulp.
When the bulleted Tartars fell to the ground, two more cannons opened fire. This time, the shotgun was still fired at the soldier in front of Zilharang, weakening Zilharang's cavalry shield by two layers.
Zhong Feng wanted to use the relay shotgun to kill all the soldiers in front of Jilharang, and shoot the prince of Taqing Zheng Jierharang.
The soldiers in front of them were suddenly killed by shotguns, and Zilharang was almost naked in front of the formation. The guards beside Zilharang strengthened a spirit, and suddenly grabbed the horse rope of Jilharang, and forced Jilharang's war horse to stop. Several white-armored soldiers rushed in front of Zilharang on horseback regardless of their lives, blocking Prince Zheng's body with their own bodies.
The last four cannons fired, and the four cannons fired shotguns at Zilharang.
However, the iron projectiles of the shotgun were shot at the white-armored soldiers. Several white-armored soldiers were pierced through their bodies by projectiles, and several large bloody holes appeared in their bodies, screaming and dying in front of Zilharang's horse.
Zilharang died a great life and was not killed.
Zilharang looked at the white-armored soldiers who died for himself with a pale face, and for a while he didn't know whether to retreat to improve.
Seeing that none of the eight cannons killed Ji'er Harang, Zhong Feng waved his fist angrily and scolded: "The thief with a big life is vain. ”
However, at the moment when Zhong Feng cursed, a blood flower bloomed on Zilharang's head.
The posture of this Tatar prince really attracted the attention of the sharpshooters. Although the cannon shotgun failed to kill him, the obstacles in front of him were all removed by the cannon. At the moment when he hesitated, a bullet came out of nowhere, and it shot steadily through the armor and into his right ear.
The bullet entered through the ear, pierced Zilharan's skull, and shot out of the back of his head.
Zilharan lost his life in an instant, and fell from his horse with a thud, and his body fell to the ground.
In the middle military office of the Tiger Ben Army, Zu Dashou shouted excitedly and said loudly to Li Zhi: "Grandpa Guo, the Tartar pseudo-Prince Zheng Ji'er Harang has been killed!" ”
Li Zhi nodded.
In the Manchu Qing Dynasty's Central Army, Dolgon stood in the clairvoyant mirror and saw the dead Zilharang, his face pale.
Unexpectedly, Jilharang was killed in battle so soon, and he was killed by Li Zhi's sharpshooters.
However, Dorgon did not have time to grieve for Zilharang, because the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty rushed within one hundred and twenty meters of the Tiger Ben army, and the most brutal massacre began.
The crackling of gunfire merged into a thunderous roar, and more than 3,000 rifles were aimed at the Tartar cavalry at close range, and the trigger was pressed. The blood flowers bloomed on the bodies of the heavily armored cavalry in the front row like azaleas in spring, bursting into the air at a line of one hundred and twenty meters, and turned into a blood mist.
The smell of blood was so thick that it seemed to be coming out of the air.
In just a few seconds, more than 3,000 riflemen in the first row finished shooting, and the heavy armored cavalry in the front row of the Tartars were almost completely annihilated, like rows of mahjong that had been pushed down.
There were so many fallen cavalry and horses that they blocked all the roads, so that the cavalry behind them lost their way forward.
