Chapter 787: Heavy Blows
A small group of Jurchens finally appeared on the horizon on horseback. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
They were only a few hundred paces away from the most backward defeated Ming army, and these Jurchens rode their horses to catch up, and those Ming troops let out bursts of screams and cries for help.
Soon the sound of collapsing bowstrings was heard, and the Jurchens on horseback fired flat or hurled, and some threw axes or spears.
Dozens of the slowest Ming soldiers were slowly killed, when it was close to two hundred paces, Zhang Chunniu ordered a few artillery pieces to fire, and the artillery bombardment sounded, startling those Donglu, but they found that the artillery was very inaccurate, and the distance was dozens of paces away, so these Donglu no longer cared about the artillery, and continued to kill those defeated soldiers for a long time.
One of the sergeants shouted, "I remember a big gun with it?" ”
The nearest to Donglu is also about 200 paces away, and this distance Lu Mi can't hit, and even if it hits, the power is very small, and most of them can't penetrate the armor.
Not to mention the ordinary flintlock pistol, the effective range of aiming and shooting is only forty or fifty steps, and more than eighty steps can only rely on salvo killing, and the killing of Lu Mi gun is more than one hundred and fifty steps, but if you want to aim and hit the target smoothly in one hundred and fifty steps, you can still only depend on luck.
"Yes, a trial product from the Firearms Bureau." Zhang Chunniu looked at the sergeant and said, "Lin Cunzhi, if you are shot, I will guarantee you a medal." ”
On the opposite battlefield, Jianyu was still slowly shooting the fleeing people, and dozens of people had already been shot. The arrows used were all armor-piercing arrows, each of which was ejected with great bow force, and the crescent-like arrows could easily tear through the skin and musculature of a person, and even cut off the bones, penetrating deep into the internal organs, until piercing the front heart from the back.
Everyone who was hit by the arrow instantly lost the possibility of continuing to run, and spat blood from their mouths and turned over and fell to the ground, long arrows peeking through their chests.
Some of them jumped off their horses, hacked or stabbed the struggling Ming soldiers with their knives or tiger guns, and pulled arrows off their opponents' chests or backs.
When doing these things, these Eight Banners soldiers were very calm and calm, and many people looked over to the wooden fence and the car formation.
A dozen horsemen suddenly rushed forward.
"Don't let it go, put it down!" All the sergeants and officers shouted at the first time.
Many of the soldiers subconsciously raised the firecrackers sideways and aimed at them, and after hearing the military order, they lowered the firearms for the first time.
Accepting military orders and not disobeying them has become a subconscious action of these soldiers.
"This is a deliberate rush forward of the captive horseman, testing our reality." An officer said loudly: "Without a military order, it is absolutely forbidden to let it go." ”
Lin Zhicun is an officer-level sergeant of the army, according to his ability, he could have gone to the war team, but considering that he is only the only son in the family, and his children are still young, so he has not been turned into a soldier.
From the side of the soldiers came a huge firecracker, weighing fourteen pounds, about thirty percent longer than an ordinary firecracker, although an ordinary adult man could pick it up, but it was absolutely impossible to lift and put it away.
The charge of such a firearm is several times that of an ordinary gun, and the recoil can crush a person's shoulder.
A fork-shaped wooden frame was hurriedly placed, and Lin Zhicun began to reload the sub-medicine.
Many soldiers around stared, and the soldiers couldn't help but look at the lively people
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) is also a lot.
This kind of gun is actually a kind of gun, but it is smaller than the gun in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it is not a flintlock gun, but a fire rope.
After loading, Lin Zhicun put the gun tube on the bracket and began to squint and aim.
The dull sound of horses' hooves came and went, and these captives had indeed come to reconnoitre, and their riding posture was extremely provocative, deliberately provoking the nerves of the gunners.
The average skullman has gone from being a little scared to angry, and then from angry to aggrieved.
Watching dozens of cavalry running forward and backward in front of their formation, from time to time they rushed forward, and then quickly retreated, obviously bullying that there were no cavalry on this side and could not react, and what the captives really wanted to know was how strong the firepower behind the wooden fence was, and how fast the reaction was.
The power behind the wooden fence is also very limited in their understanding of the east.
Separated from the territory that has been operating for a long time in Liaodong, the level of espionage of the Jurchens is actually very limited. Especially in such abandoned places, few people are at their disposal, and even fewer of their sources are available. In addition, Bi Mazi and his gang were killed, and they completely lost their internal response, which made the Houjin side become blind, and they could identify the ordinary Ming army by their banners, and they also knew Zu Dashou and other Ming army generals very well. Even Man Gui, who had just been sent out of the Chinese army by Sun Chengzong, had already noticed it on the Houjin side and collected a lot of information.
Only the army behind Muzha does not look like a serious army, and Houjin knows little about it, and it is only through this period of contact that he feels the extraordinaryness of this team.
After calling the Jin Bing, of course, the deepest feeling is still those big cars, in how many times they have seen the team, through all kinds of comparisons, of course, they all know that this is He Yusheng's team.
It was not surprising to Hou Jin that his tentacles had already extended to Liaodong, and it was not strange for the Ming court to requisition the carriage.
The only thing that puzzled was the army escorting the convoy, these gray-robed men actually had a basis for advancing and retreating, and they seemed to be the demeanor of a strong army.
In the back and forth temptation, the Jurchen cavalry also felt the slightest inappropriateness.
Unlike those Ming troops who were about to collapse at the first touch, the army behind the wooden fence in front of them did not react in the slightest, and it seemed as if they were stunned. Those who have been on the battlefield for a long time will never be so optimistic, on the contrary, the Jurchens generally feel that their opponents are difficult.
This is a white flag of soldiers and horses, which can be seen from their cotton armor style and flag.
Mandalhan personally led his troops to chase down the defeated Ming army and test the defense on the opposite side, but the result was not satisfactory, and Mandalhan frowned.
"Master!" A white armor shouted, "The temptation is almost over, do you want to take a closer look?" ”
Although the cavalry with the white flag just now moved forward several times, they were also a hundred paces away recently, after all, they had to beware of a volley of firearms from the opposite side, and if they could not be provoked and killed, it would really become a big joke.
"It's too dangerous to get any closer." Mandarhan's face was blue, and he felt helpless in his heart.
There are a lot of elite soldiers and strong generals in the white flag, although Huang Taiji is a rising star in the four major belles, but he has also fought for more than ten years, conquering Yehe, conquering Ula, and then conquering Ming and Mongolia. Although the number of Niu Lu is not much, the number of Niu Lu bannermen and soldiers is quite large, and the strength is not weak.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) to the strength of the flags, the two yellow flags must be the strongest, and then there are two red flags, followed by of course the white flag of Huang Taiji, and then down is the two blue flags, if the two red flags are taken apart, the strength is not much higher than the white flag, and the flags are single, and only the yellow and yellow flags are much stronger than the white flags.
In the white flag with a lot of elite soldiers, the upward pressure on Mandalhan is certainly not small, this time he made a lot of contributions to the expedition to Mongolia, and just successfully pulled out a camp of the Ming army, but the long gate and car camp in front of him gave him a lot of sense of crisis. Years of battlefield experience constantly reminded him that the position in front of him was very dangerous and needed to be treated with caution.
Just as he was hesitating, he finally heard a gunshot.
Everyone's spirits perked up, and a white armor smiled: "I thought this barbarian was so different, and it wasn't the same as if it was so far away and let it go......"
Before the words fell, the white armor who spoke saw that one of the white armors beside Man Darhan had been shot in the chest, and the bullet penetrated the bright silver iron armor, breaking the entire chest cavity of this white armor, and blood and rotten flesh splattered, splashing Man Darhan and the cavalry around him all over their faces.
"Retreat!" Mandalhan felt a sense of fear that he had never felt before. More than 200 steps apart, the Ming army actually has a shooter who can hit the people around him? Judging from the distance, this Ming army will not fight the white armor just now, it will be full of Darhan, and it is even very likely to be the target of the general, which seems to be an obvious general.
"Alas!" Lin Cunzhi took off the heavy gun, leaned to the side, and said very regretfully: "I missed, the fat one must be the big official of Jianyu, maybe it's still some kind of shellfish." ”
"Stop dreaming." Zhang Chunniu also felt a pity, although killing a white armor was also a great achievement, but it was definitely a loss compared to killing a general. He picked up the heavy gun, felt heavy and very heavy, and after putting it down, Zhang Chunniu said: "The shells of the Jianju are very noble, and there are only dozens of them in total, and now there are nearly 100,000 people in the Han army, how can it be possible to use a shell to charge the sentry into the formation!" ”
"That's just as well." Lin Cunzhi said with a look of hope: "But the commander of the soldiers and horses may be a kind of shellfish, if you can kill one, it will really make a lot of money." ”
……
After the heavy bang sounded, the Jurchens were obviously very jealous, and there was no further action after half a sound.
By mid-afternoon, large groups of men and horses appeared on the horizon, first small troops of cavalry, then large bands of hundreds of cavalry, and then a large number of armored and unarmored men on foot.
Everyone saw the flag fluttering, "Good fellow." The captain of the personal soldiers beside Wu Sangui said with a worried face: "The captive cavalry is twice as strong as He Yusheng's gunner, this battle can be known without asking, eldest prince, let's go earlier." ”
"Let's go?" Wu Sangui was still shocked by the shot that had just been shot at an ultra-long range, and he was still a little childlike, and he wanted to ask the firearm to come over and take a look at it, study it, and see if he could ask the craftsman to make one in the same way. It can shoot a gun from 200 paces away, and almost smash people, the power of this fire gun is indeed too great. He shook his head and shook his head, and said: "That's not possible, Heyusheng's soldiers are auxiliary soldiers, and the people guard well, let's run first, what kind of system is this, if my uncle knows, he will laugh at me for not being promising, not like the disciples of the generals." ”
There were about 2,500 infantry and bannermen, and about 600 to 700 cavalry.
