Chapter 433: Nanming Beacon Fire 14 - Battle
In the face of Feng Shuangli's escape from the Southern Ming Army, it was an old battalion general arranged here by Kong Youde, who was Kong Youde's henchman, and he took 500 Kong Youde's new army soldiers, equipped with 400 Jingai 1 arquebuses imitated by Kong Youde's department, and 100 arquebuses bought from the Southern Ming Army, which were ninety percent of the new arquebuses used by the Huaxia Army sold by the Huaxia Army to the Southern Ming Army.
In the hands of other armies, some generals of the Southern Ming Army sold them for money, which was forbidden.
Kong Youde bought a total of about 2,000 Jingai-1 second-hand arquebuses, as well as 200 newly produced Jingai-1 arquebuses sold by the Huaxia Army to the Southern Ming Army.
Feng Shuangli's direct subordinate troops also had 1,000 such arquebuses, which was the result of Zhang Liang's diplomacy, and it was also the product of Tong Dawei's dealings with the Ming army in various departments in the early stage, wantonly selling the weapons and equipment of the captured Qing army, dealing with the old weapons used by the Huaxia army in the past and exchanging them for goods and real money, and prospering the commercial trade of the Huaxia army.
Feng Shuangli's other troops of the new army used imitation arquebuses produced by the Southern Ming Kingdom itself, and the quality was certainly not too good, as well as the bird guns of the captured Qing army, and some good quality guns of the Ming army, which can be said to be varied.
Now there are 1,000 Feng Shuangli's New Army of the Southern Ming Army, 500 Guards Cavalry, 1,300 Cavalry and 500 Soldiers, as well as soldiers of the New Army who are constantly lagging behind to catch up and join the team.
The number of people on the side of the Qing army is also increasing, but the increase is in the cold weapon troops.
Feng Shuangli did not delay any longer, he commanded the assembled 1,000 soldiers of the new army, and pressed towards the other party's musket troops that were already arrayed and waiting to attack, Feng Shuangli knew that if he could not defeat this musket army, then he would not be able to escape, and as time passed, the Qing army would only gather more and more.
At a distance of less than three hundred meters, the two sides quickly approached.
Due to the haste of the incident, the artillery of the Qing army could not be mobilized at all, so the two sides could only fight with arquebuses.
Approaching, approaching, when they reached two hundred meters, a soldier of Feng Shuangli's unit panicked, accidentally ignited the gunpowder of the arquebus in his hand, and suddenly ignited the flames of war with a "pop-".
Feng Shuangli's new army soldiers shot one after another, the first round passed, the first row was finished, there was no result, the Qing soldiers were just startled, a little panicked, but no one was injured, one shot, and the officer quickly pressed down.
The Qing army also shot at it, after all, the soldiers on both sides were not as disciplined as the Huaxia army, Kong Youde's soldiers were not disciplined soldiers who had been trained by the Portuguese and the Dutch, and there were professionally trained officers who grasped the rhythm of the battlefield, they were all fighting with experience, shooting first, even if they couldn't hit the enemy, they could give themselves courage, yes, they all thought so.
After all, the weapons of the Qing army are a little better than Feng Shuangli's weapons, and there are several results, Feng Shuangli's Southern Ming army is demoralized, this is always inaccurate to beat the enemy, but more than a dozen people have died in their own people, how can this be played?
Feng Shuangli's face was also ugly, and the guards around him roared angrily to cheer up their people.
Closer, eighty meters, both sides should be able to hit their opponents.
Feng Shuangli's troops were scattered, after all, Feng Shuangli was more cunning, although there was a Huaxia army to train, but the people of the Huaxia army did not really or most of the soldiers who had contact with Feng Shuangli, Feng Shuangli just let them train a hundred guards, and then let the guards train the people below.
I am afraid that the Huaxia Army will use this to control his troops and empty him.
One is self-taught, the other relies on second-hand transfer, and the natural shape is very strong, and both sides are actually not at the level that the new army should have.
At a distance of eighty meters, Kong Youde's soldiers abided by the basic rules of three-stage shooting, taking turns to shoot and fire in a volley, while Feng Shuangli's soldiers were a little whimsical, and as long as they could fire, they had to fire a shot, so as to strike at each other with a lot of firepower.
This caused that at this distance, the Qing army's losses were not very large, only twenty or thirty people fell to the ground, and Feng Shuangli's side had more than 50 people fall to the ground, the team was chaotic, each shooting, although there were also results, the Qing army also had soldiers who kept falling to the ground, but one by one, and the second round of Qing army's salvo made Feng Shuangli's troops fall to the ground again more than 40 people, and the troops were in chaos.
Feng Shuangli hurriedly sent the guards cavalry to suppress it, and asked the guards to go to the rear to organize the newly joined soldiers of the new army to form a phalanx.
There was a new army of 500 people, and they were firing back with arquebuses against the pursuing Qing army, and the Qing army did not dare to step forward, so they could only watch them advance step by step, and soon Feng Shuangli's breakthrough soldiers were surrounded in a square square of more than a mile, surrounded by about three or four thousand Qing soldiers, and many Qing soldiers were constantly coming.
There were not many soldiers of the New Army who reorganized Feng Shuangli, and after the panic, more than 100 soldiers of the New Army had already fallen.
The Qing army had advanced to a distance of fifty meters.
This distance just gave Feng Shuangli's soldiers an advantage, because he had many soldiers.
Even if you shoot indiscriminately, you can kill and injure enemies.
The Qing army made a mistake by not taking advantage of the distance, not taking advantage of the advantage of better weapons than their opponents, and not taking advantage of the fact that they actually had more experience in firearms combat than Feng Shuangli, because Kong Youde was known for his expertise in firearms combat.
It can be said that at this time, whether it is Kong Youde's veterans, veteran generals, or Feng Shuangli himself and his generals, there are only muscles in their heads, and there is no intelligence, Feng Shuangli may be very assertive in cold weapon combat, but with a change of firearms, he is restricted.
The gunfire rang out in all directions, crackling, and the Qing army and the Southern Ming army fell one after another.
In the firearms battle, the Qing army fell less, but the about 2,000 soldiers of the new army who had just caught up used firearms to tell those Qing soldiers who were chasing and chasing and intercepting them that they were still firearms in our hands, which were more powerful than the bows and arrows in your hands, and that the casualties of those Qing troops had already reached three or four hundred people for a while.
This equalized the losses of the Southern Ming army, which was facing head-on.
Of the other side's 500 Qing firearms soldiers, there were still more than 300 people, but they lost more than 100 people.
Feng Shuangli looked at the sky anxiously, he was looking at the time, the ancients looked at the weather and estimated the time.
Then there was a loud roar, "Let the cavalry break through the enemy's encirclement from both flanks and prepare to retreat." Then he turned and charged to the rear with five hundred cavalry.
However, Feng Shuangli wasted a lot of energy, paused for a few minutes, and dragged the panicked soldiers out to slash and kill before stabilizing the team.
He was already no longer hopeful that the musketeers would defeat the enemy, but wanted to solve things with his own way.
The two sides continued to move closer. Two hundred meters, even the strongest bow and arrow can't shoot anyone.
The smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and after the commotion, it was a depressed move on.
The Qing army quickly gathered the team, more than a dozen cavalry had arrived, more than a thousand nearby soldiers had arrived, and more Qing troops were pouring in from the rear, but they were blocked by Feng Shuangli's cavalry and soldiers who were fleeing and fighting at the same time, and the soldiers of the new army were blocked, and they couldn't get close to Feng Shuangli's breakthrough team for a while.
Finally one hundred and twenty meters, the Qing army also fired the first shot, the results were not much, several Ming army new soldiers threw away their guns, like discarded rags, fell to the ground, the people next to them did not pay attention to it at all, it is time to escape, who can help whom.
This time, Feng Shuangli's new army soldiers are calm, they are all veterans, of course they have rich combat experience, they all know that they are in chaos at this time, and it is not helpful for them to escape, only by defeating the enemy, can they have a chance, otherwise, wait to be killed, in the face of death, even the most timid people will inspire a desperate courage.
Looking down from the sky, Feng Shuangli's troops were in the center, the encirclement of the Qing army in front was small, the left and right sides were slightly narrower, and finally they were looser, all chasing and running, like a shrinking "Lu," character.
