Chapter XXVII

The most ferocious three-eyed gun of the Ming army is a three-tube troll with a long grip, which can only be fired in battle. Generally, when the firecracker encounters the Manchurian Eight Banners cavalry, most of them only have one chance.

As long as the cavalry of the Eight Banners divided into small groups of rangers, they danced their knives and roared in front of the formation, and made a momentum of charging into the formation, and when the front row of the Ming army couldn't help but let go of their guns, they became burning sticks.

There was no time to reload again, so the second row of firecrackers had to be in their hands.

The Ming army did not say that there were three stage strikes, even five stage strikes, and seven stage strikes, and the fire gunners could stand in seven rows before and after.

But that was only by strengthening the thickness of the fire line to achieve the purpose of continuous fire.

But the battlefield is not only attacked from the front, the T-shaped shot of the musketeers is of course good, and the cavalry that can attack from oblique angles and parallel angles, the gunners' platoon encounters high-speed cavalry from the flank, and there is no time to adjust the line.

In a panic, the Ming army was unable to line up and was defeated by the Manchurian cavalry. As soon as the enemy turned around, the cavalry led the horses and crashed directly into it. The enemy does not collapse, and the front of the line is 45 degrees in an arc, and before it is separated, it is three arrows.

This is the Manchurian cavalry shooting nine into ten in a row, the car is suspended, constantly rolling, layer by layer of slices.

Manchuria is not a nomadic people, it is a bunch of fishing and hunting people in the old forest, all hunters, the archery is more powerful than the Mongolian rush, diffuse shooting is much more powerful, and can shoot the face fifty steps away.

The Mongols had long since had no condor shooters, and they didn't dare to shoot at the Eight Banners of Manchuria on the spot, let alone explain the army.

The range and accuracy of Manchurian bows and arrows are higher than those of firearms, and the firing frequency per unit time is eight to one. Even if they shoot within 100 meters, the firecrackers still do not have an advantage.

England's longbow with a range of 300 meters can shoot 12 arrows in one minute of accurate fire, and the rate of diffuse fire is up to 20 arrows, and one arrow in 3 seconds.

The longbow shoots three times faster than the crossbow, not to mention the gun, the gunpowder, the loaded gun, and the arquebus, once the arquebus is extinguished, you have to tear your clothes.

The biggest disadvantage of the bow is that it is difficult to practice, followed by the strength of more than a dozen arrows, the arm strength is used up, and no matter how high the rate of fire is, it is useless, and the force is returned. Whether Manchuria is elite or not, just look at the shoulder, just like the unicorn arm, the Manchurian elite shooters are all one shoulder high and one shoulder low.

The three-eyed gun can shoot a single shot, which is powerful and a big troll. But the range is short, it is generally used by cavalry, and it can be used as a mace to smash people after firing.

The three-eyed gun can only fight the peasant army, and fight the Japanese soldiers and the Japanese soldiers, because the Japanese soldiers are light bamboo armor, and the peasant army and the Japanese are even more cloth.

It is not good to fight the Manchurian soldiers, the Manchurian cavalry is cotton iron armor, and the white soldiers are heavy armor, and the three-eyed gun cannot be pierced more than a dozen steps away.

The long-range bird guns of the infantry are only fast with the first shot, and if they have the life to load the second bullet, they must not be defeated by the front team, and the horses will definitely not be able to load the formation when they collide. There is also the Ming army that can be loaded three times, perhaps only in legends.

In the battlefield environment, arrows are like flying locusts, cannons rumble, and the muffled sound of horses' hooves fills the heavens and the earth.

The Eight Banners of Manchuria hated standing with the old and weak who made the firecrackers, because the firecrackers had gunpowder cartridges on their backs, and the formation of the platoon was dense and chaotic, and the firerope could easily ignite the nearby gunpowder cartridges, and it would explode with a bang, which was easy to startle the horse.

Qi Jiguang played three-stage strikes, five-stage strikes, and seven-stage strikes, and then stopped playing, and the Mandarin Duck Array still only used the last row of musketeers, just because of the old bombing. Not only the back of the gunpowder cartridge exploded, but also the bore.

Most of the firecrackers were nervous and couldn't remember how many powders they loaded, and they didn't dare to press more gunpowder for fear of exploding, so the range and power of the firecrackers were even lower.

Modern May Fourth pistols are difficult to hit a cow 20 meters away if they have not been hit. The underworld with five consecutive shots can't hit people fifty meters away, and they are all close to the fire within more than ten meters, not to mention the ancient battlefield environment.

The Manchurian cavalry rarely rushed directly into the formation, nor did they enter the effective range of the firecracker, so they dismounted at the edge of the range of the firecracker, drew the bow and fired at the firecracker, and when the strength was exhausted, a dozen arrows passed, and the dead were one-sided, all of them were firecrackers.

When he rushed into battle, he had already shot three arrows in the middle of the road, and then the cavalry crashed into the formation.

That's why Manchuria emphasized mounted archery!

But riding and archery is too difficult to practice, too hard, it is better to fire a gun, just find a group of peasants, it will be made in three days, and it will be an army in a few months.

The elite of Manchuria did not make firecrackers, and all the firecrackers were armor coats, and it was the Han people who made the artillery.

In these years, whether it is the Ming and Qing dynasties or the Zheng Zhilong series, all of them are old and weak. Zheng Chenggong also has a lot of guns, but the most elite is the Iron Man Army.

The vast majority of Manchuria's iron armor is not all iron, it is cotton silk iron sheet armor, thick felt and iron sheet, the armor is soft, it is designed to prevent fireproof guns and arrows, only the elite will make bows, will wear white soldiers melee heavy armor.

Charging into battle was not Manchuria's strong point, and the entire Eight Banners rarely used cavalry to charge directly. The Mongol cavalry did not rush into battle, and the Han army banner did not ride horses and shoot arrows.

The Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry mostly rushed to the peasant army, and when they suppressed the rabble, they slashed the civilians with knives, and the regular battlefield did not rush into formation, only cavalry attacked, and did not rush into dense infantry formations and vehicle formations.

Most of the Manchurian Eight Banners were dragoons, riding to the front of the battle, dismounting and fighting on foot.

A simple dismount before the formation is very simple, just as the "inch strength" is just to see an inch more, but it is the stunt of the Eight Banners "riding and shooting", taking the opportunity to let the horse return in front of the formation.

If you win, you can get on the horse and chase after the defeated army, and if you are frustrated, you can escape and escape.

The Guanning cavalry has never been able to understand it, and they can't learn to simply dismount and fight on foot in front of a formation, resulting in excessive horsepower consumption. If you win, you can't catch up, you can't run away if you lose, as long as you lose, the whole army will be wiped out, and you can't sum up your experience.

But charging into battle was not a strong point in Manchurian cavalry archery, but Yuanji at that time still rushed into battle on a prancing horse.

As long as Zheng Jun on the opposite side did not retreat at that time, he would be trapped if he crashed into it, and a random Zheng soldier next to him stabbed him with a knife and spear, and he was about to fall off his horse.

He must be the one who dies!

If it weren't for the fact that Zheng Bing was coming from behind, and the half-point leader he was in was suspected of wavering, he would not have charged forward!

Because he knew that once the more than forty horsemen around him turned their horses and broke through to the seemingly weak rear, it was equivalent to giving courage to the more than 300 Zheng soldiers in front of him.

The hilly pass couldn't be lifted quickly, as long as he turned around and was stopped by the more than eighty Zheng soldiers for a short while, the Zheng soldiers with the earth knife and a round shield would rush up.

Once they were mixed together, the cavalry had no advantage and had to be trapped in the valley.

After the rear, it seemed that more than 40 iron cavalry fought 80 Zheng soldiers, but in fact, more than 40 cavalry who could not raise the speed of their horses had to fight with more than 400 Zheng troops.

In front, more than 300 Zheng Jun's infantry troops seemed to have bright armor, but in fact, more than 20 people had been shot in a row, and they were slightly frightened, and the musketeers all retreated to the back row.

Moreover, the more than 300 Zheng soldiers in front of the valley did not know that the friendly troops in the back of the valley had arrived.

Breaking through the rear, it was more than 40 false cavalry against more than 400 infantry who rekindled their courage. Forward, there were more than 40 cavalry who fought to the death, and more than 300 fake infantry whose morale had been lost.

To move forward, of course, has nothing to do with courage, because mathematics!

Yuan Ji is the emperor's younger brother, and no matter how empty the cylinder is, as long as he rushes forward, half a point of the leader will have to follow.

Otherwise, as soon as he falls, the whole half of the collar will die.

But it was not him who died, it was Zheng Bing who was instantly shaken when the Manchurian cavalry rushed into battle.

has been killed and wounded by the Manchurian cavalry constantly pulling away from the distance and shooting foot, but Zheng Bing can still insist.

As soon as they were charged by the iron cavalry, they could trap the cavalry who entered the battle if they held on, but they didn't insist.

When you turn around and run, you are equivalent to handing over your neck to the butcher knife behind you.

At that time, a total of 327 Zheng soldiers blocked Yuanji's way, 39 people were killed on the spot, and the rout army was surrounded by Geng Jingzhong, the prince of Jingnan, and the Zheng soldiers who blocked the mouth of the back valley were all captured, and they were all beheaded after the war.

Eight Banners and their servant army slaughtered more than this Ming army south of the Yangtze River, or 10,000 or 100,000.

But the Eight Banners never refused to be slaughtered by the Ming army.

When he became an ancestor, he often sent troops out of the wall to sweep the wall, and the villages of Nurhachi's ancestors were often swept away.

Such a great Ming Dynasty, at the end of the period, it was reduced to tens of millions of people being slaughtered by tens of thousands of Manchurian Eight Banners, is Manchuria really wrong? Eight Banners is guilty?

I can slaughter you, you can't slaughter me, who is wrong with you and me? Who is you and I guilty of?

Born in this era, being weak is wrong, and being weak is sin!

……

It was dark, and a lantern swayed along.

Twenty-four horsemen with bells and twelve lanterns guarded a two-horse-drawn four-wheeled luxury carriage on the left and right.

The royal man sitting in the high front room of the carriage was urging the horse with shaking reins with both hands.

There are lamps hanging on the frieze of the front room, and the anti-dustpan tin lampshade makes the lamps like headlights, illuminating the road ahead.

There is no need for such a professional headlight now, mainly because I am afraid that I will dig a sewer in the future and run into a manhole cover.

A group of people walked on the road from Hade Gate to Guang'anmen in the inner city.

The inner city is guarded by the Eight Banners, out of the Chongwen Gate, which is commonly known as the "Hade Gate", and there are night patrol soldiers who lead the Yamen with infantry on the road.

It's just that when I saw the carriage guard carrying the words on the lantern, most of the sentry officers who led the team came to ask for peace, so the whole team retreated aside.

At present, the infantry commander Yamen is still only commanding the Manchurian Eight Banners, and has not yet merged with the Menghan and the Green Battalion, so he has changed to the commander of the Nine Gate Infantry Army to patrol and capture the five battalions to lead the Yamen.

Mo said that Fuquan and Yuanji in the carriage knew a lot of the eight banners of the guards and guards outside.

There is no way, there are few Manchurians, all of them are neighbors crowded in the inner city, and they often see them in the flag to receive money and food.

Patrolling the city at night to crack down on thieves is the same as the neighborhood committee, and there are also people in every alley, and the palace has to have people, out of clothing, day and night cross-infection, and many people know each other.

Hardgate is the only city gate in the inner city that does not close at night, Fucheng Gate goes to coal, Hardgate goes to wine, so it is also called "wine door", tobacco and alcohol are not separated, and later cigarettes also have it.

However, the Guang'an Gate outside the city is still closed, Fuquan did not bring the prince's guard of honor, and he did not want to call the door, so he had to pull out the deadlock bolt, and the city gate Cao had to go to the inner city to call the left wing leader, which was too troublesome.

Fuquan and Yuanji and his entourage walked at the point where they opened the door, and they just opened the city gate when they arrived.

It is estimated that there are many people waiting inside and outside Guang'anmen to enter and exit the city, and the Manchurian Tartars are only inserting a team at most.

"Comfortable!"

Fuquan's steamed buns are eaten in a horse-drawn carriage, and there are food drawer compartments made of the principle of thermos cups in the carriage for food preservation. There is also a thermos flask, hot tea and hot water.

I don't know when the all-box non-military carriage first appeared in China, but Zhou Tianzi has six horse-drawn carriages, which is certainly not small, and there will never be six horse-drawn carts.

The unearthed carriage of King Yiqu of the Qin Dynasty is very perfect, just two wheels, like a horse-drawn sedan chair.

The carriage made by Yuan Ji is also a horse-drawn sedan chair, but it is a horse-drawn sedan, a two-horse four-wheeled luxury business carriage, which is a commodity and is ready to be sold.

There is also a car logo, an orange bottom hoof and black horse shield emblem, ready to be called [Malali].

"Oh, you're this."

Fuquan picked up the chopsticks and picked up a bun in the plate on the horizontal table, took a bite and put it down, and looked at the sitting box seat while shaking his body, and was surprised, "How do I feel that your mound is soft... It's not only soft, but it also holds me up when I press it down. ”

The four corners of the carriage are fixed with wall lamps in the shape of kerosene lamps, plus the chandelier in the center of the carriage, similar to the principle of shadowless lights, there is no shadow at any angle, and the interior of the carriage is very bright.

It's just that the lamp is not glass, and the plexiglass that prevents shattering glass cuts can't be made, mica flakes are used, whale oil is burned, and the fuel tank is separated from the outer lamp room, so even if it falls and breaks, it will not set the carriage on fire.

This is the magic version of the carriage light on the sail battleship.

"There are twenty-four springs in the seat."

Yuanji was not hungry, didn't eat buns, sat on the box seat opposite Fuquan, and pointed to the tea cup on the middle case between the two, which was half full of water, "Not only the seat, but also a circle of shock-absorbing springs under the carriage beams, the car is not bumpy, most of it is the credit of the springs, but it is too difficult to build, only enough to fight a car." ”

"Hard to make?"

Fuquan was surprised, "The short firebolt you gave me is more exquisite than the firearm of the Franc machine, don't you say that it is easy to make the self-striking bell?" What is this spring made of, and is it difficult to make it? ”
