Chapter Eighty-Three: Sweeping Thousands of Armies

The 20,000 Qing troops pressed vigorously, and a huge shadow hung in the hearts of the Jinhua rebels, and the only thing that could inspire them was Zhang Qiang's flag of the main general behind him, and the drums that seemed to be bloody.

The cavalry attacked, and the musketeers quickly put down the muskets in their hands, reloaded, and aimed.

One hundred and fifty meters, one hundred and twenty meters.

The musketeer in the center fired.

The continuous shooting made the Qing troops facing each other cut down one by one like leeks.

The deafening sound of gunfire made the Qing army panic, and the musketeers and shotgunners in the Qing army opened fire one after another, and the bullets flying everywhere chiseled small holes in the ranks of musketeers and musketeers, however, the musketeers and musketeers quickly caused a ripple, and the soldiers in the back row quickly made up for it, and then calmed down again, like a team that had not been attacked, continued to reload in the officer's order, walked in unison, and shot.

In comparison, the Qing army on the opposite side was not happy, their musketeers, musketeers, and shotgunslingers, although they also caused damage to Zhang Qiang's team, but they were all annihilated in less than two rounds of battle, and there were no less than 2,000 corpses lying in the center of the battlefield, and most of them were Qing firearms troops.

The battle continued, and Zhang Qiang's firecracker troops, which were quite heavy, fired volleys in rows, making the Qing army's charge like hitting the wall with their heads, either dead or wounded.

With the advantage of numbers, the Qing army stubbornly flanked Zhang Qiang's troops, outflanked, assaulted, and assaulted again.

The corpse of the Qing army started from a hundred and twenty meters away from the Jinhua Righteous Army, and stretched to a place more than ten paces away from the Jinhua Righteous Army, and surrounded Zhang Qiang's troops in a fan shape on both sides, but finally had to retreat.

The infantry retreated, and the cavalry of the Qing army rushed out to prevent the Jinhua rebels from following the pursuit.

However, this was of little use, nearly 5,000 firecrackers, plus more than 2,000 archers and crossbowmen, were flying all over the sky with bullets and arrows, and the cavalry suffered heavy losses.

As the drums became fierce and fierce, the Jinhua rebels left the defensive place with neat steps, striding forward, row after row, like waves, one row stopped immediately after shooting, loaded gunpowder, the second row rushed up a few steps, stood in place, regardless of whether the team was neat or not, a row of volleys, and then stopped, loaded ammunition, and the back row continued to follow.

The Qing cavalry retreated one after another, and each time they retreated, at least dozens of people fell to the ground.

Rafael said to Piree with a solemn face: "The Qing army has been defeated. ”

Piree also sighed, "Yes, I didn't expect to see a trace of civilization in this barbaric and uncivilized land, it's really surprising, the Qing army is like a group of Indians with big blades, and their opponents, just like the Spaniards and the British in the Americas, used advanced musket tactics to defeat the Indians wrapped in bark and painted faces." ”

Rafael said: "I would rather face the Qing army than let my men face such an opponent who is on the same level as us." ”

Pire shook his head, "No, at least, their muskets are not as advanced as ours, look at it, their muskets are still those slightly backward muskets that we sold to the Qing army and the Ming army, although it seems that they trained very hard, and achieved two rounds of firing efficiency within three minutes, but this is too slow, our excellent soldiers can do three rounds in three minutes, and ordinary soldiers can also do two and a half rounds in three minutes, if they fight with us, they will definitely suffer, besides, we still have warships and artillery." ”

Just as the two of them were talking, Zhang Qiang's entire army had already sunk the Qing army's large army, and the archers, pikemen, and crossbowmen on both wings rushed forward one after another, fighting with the scattered Qing troops.

On the secondary battlefield, Xuanyuan Longfei's 2,000 rebels fought with the 10,000 Qing troops who attacked the camp, and on the other side of the battlefield, 10,000 Qing troops killed 8,000 rebels and ran around.

If it weren't for Chen Hanhui leading a part of the rebel army to resist stubbornly in the corner, it would have been broken there.

Fan Shaozu with his own personal guards, also fell into a fight, unable to get out, although Zhang Qiang's cavalry was few, but a cunning wolf, seeing the opportunity, suddenly detoured back to the back of the Qing army, and attacked Fan Shaozu's personal guards.

A loud trumpet sounded, and all the troops broke out of formation, rushed up, and launched a decisive assault on the Qing army.

The Qing army was suddenly in chaos, and there was no longer fighting spirit.

Zhang Qiang's chaser guards, under the leadership of Zhang Qiang, passed through the chaotic battlefield and went straight to the cavalry units of the Qing army that fought with Zhang Qiang's cavalry behind.

A row of guns rang out, and the cavalry units of the Qing army fell off their horses one after another, "Kill," Zhang Qiang personally brandished his saber and led the guards of one hundred and fifty chasseurs towards the most dense place of the enemy's cavalry.

There was a sound of weapons clinging, horses neighing, and Zhang Qiang's chaser guards were killed from the enemy's cavalry troops, leaving one hundred and twenty of the 150 men, and nearly 200 of the enemy were dismounted.

If it weren't for the fact that the Qing army still had a numerical advantage, I'm afraid that this time the enemy would have collapsed.

"Kill," Zhang Qiang once again led the cavalry towards the opponent, this time the enemy was also ruthless, more than 300 cavalry abandoned Zhang Qiang's cavalry troops and rushed towards Zhang Qiang's personal guard cavalry.

Just when the enemy's cavalry thought that they could completely annihilate Zhang Qiang's 120-strong guards with one blow, Zhang Qiang suddenly took out the short firearms hanging on the saddle, and at a distance of thirty or forty paces, one hundred and twenty short firearms, with one blow, the enemy fell off his horse and dismounted seventy or eighty people, and there was chaos.

Throwing away the short firebolts, one hundred and twenty cavalry took advantage of the momentum, and once again slashed into the enemy's cavalry with their sabers.

This time, nearly two hundred cavalrymen were beheaded.

Zhang Qiang's guards chased the fleeing enemy cavalry behind, this time only ten personal guard cavalry fell off their horses and died, and more than a dozen were wounded, but the shock to the enemy was no less than the first assault, more than 100 people broke into the cavalry team of several thousand people, and after killing 200 people, only more than 30 people were lost and rushed out.

"Boom boom" rushed into the enemy's cavalry force, and there was another boom, followed by the sound of weapons colliding.

Zhang Qiang's figure shook again and again on the horse, and Zhang Qiang's mouth let out painful cries again and again, but he still held back, and rushed out, this time, there were 90 people left, and the other cavalry troops did not have more than 100 people, and they all moved closer to Zhang Qiang's cavalry troops, making Zhang Qiang's cavalry troops reach 200 people at a time.

"Kill again" Zhang Qiang endured the severe pain in his body, held the knife in his right hand, pulled the reins, and in his left hand, pulled out the third fire gun, holding it high and rushing towards the enemy's cavalry team.

More than 190 cavalry followed him and rushed towards the enemy's cavalry ranks.

Another burst of fire rang out, the saber was swung again, and the enemy's cavalry fell from their horses more than 300 people at once, and this time the enemy cavalry retreated, and many of the cavalry on the edge of the battlefield turned around and ran.

It's too tragic, such a tragic exchange of people for people, it's the first time they've beaten like this, over and over again, over and over again, who can stand it.

"Come againβ€”" Zhang Qiang's shout resounded across the earth.

Fan Shaozu trembled, turned around and ran.
