Chapter 137: Reversing the Future (6)

There is a saying in the army that if you want to hit every shot, the best way is to wait until the enemy is already standing in front of you, and when you can even clearly smell the foul smell in his mouth, that shot is a reason why you can't miss.

With the same accuracy, the closer the distance, the higher the hit rate, and the same is true for smoothbore guns and rifled guns. And when the distance between the two sides reached this point, Mo said that he couldn't hit, and the armor on the new army was no different from the papier-mΓ’chΓ©. As long as the shooting is launched, the number of casualties will only increase explosively compared to before.

The order to stand and aim was given, Ding Junjie, who was standing side by side with his fellow robes Ze, raised his gun and aimed, and Niu Zhong's firearm behind him also poked out from between the necks of him and the robe that replaced Huang Dazhuang, and the teams in the front row of the Young Guards Division did not have any fancy formation adjustments, so they pointed their guns at the right army of Wuwei more than ten meters away.

The leveling of the fire gun and brush, whether it is length or density, is not inferior to the Qing army on the opposite side. The cold muzzle of the gun pointed directly at the Qing army's formation only eighteen or nineteen meters away, and the anger of revenge ignited the gunpowder in the medicine pool.

"Shoot!"

The crisp sound of gunfire resounded throughout the battlefield on the Western Front, and at the same time that the smoke of gunpowder covered the battle array, the right army of Wuwei on the opposite side was like wheat cut down by a sickle, and the soldiers in the first row were killed almost instantly, and even the soldiers in the second row were knocked to the ground in batches.

There were corpses and wounded everywhere, in a short moment, the casualties of the Wuwei Right Army were no less than two thousand, and the original formation as strict as a knife and axe was no longer just like a wolf tooth dog gnawing, but was directly swallowed by more than one-fifth of the soldiers!

With such a dense salvo, gunpowder smoke erupted in thin air, all Ding Junjie could hear was the screams, and the tragic situation of the Qing army could not be seen at all, but it could be associated with it.

However, the military order never gave him and his robes any time to think, and after the first round of shooting, the order to squat followed. Next, the back queue, which was a few meters away from them, strode forward and stood directly behind them. As the order was given, a new round of salvo fire unfolded as if concocted!

"Shoot!"

It was another round of close salvo fire, and the battle formation of the Wuwei Right Army, which had just paid one-fifth of the casualties, was hit again, although it was because the formation was already full of holes, and the killing effect was not as good as the previous one, but the actual casualties caused were also not bad, for example, Ding Junjie and the middle of the formation of the Wuwei Right Army that they were facing were in the middle of the formation, and even the spearmen in the back row were also traumatized.

The iron is hard and the lead is soft, but the huge kinetic energy is blessed, and the lead bullet effortlessly pierces the iron armor, and the protection behind the armor leaves is only the flesh and blood, once the iron armor is pierced, the flesh is only left to splatter the flesh and blood.

The first close firing resulted in the first platoon being swept away, the second platoon suffered heavy losses, and the third platoon suffered some casualties. By the second close shot, the officers and non-commissioned officers in the second row were completely cleaned up, and even the third platoon was left with only a few poor worms trembling uncontrollably, and the spearmen in the back row, Rao was heavily pierced with armor, and the armor leaves, which were thicker than ordinary piercing armor, could not withstand the blow of such distance and firepower at all.

Dozens of them were killed from a distance at a time, and more than 2,000 casualties were slowly consumed, which was not an order of magnitude different from killing more than 2,000 people at one time. At this point, the survivors of the Wuwei Right Army looked at the corpses all over the ground in amazement, and their ears were full of the painful wails of the wounded, and they couldn't listen to the military orders anymore.

For the first time, Ding Junjie and his first line teams approached the salvo and the second line of the approach salvo at a very small distance, after the shooting, with the order given, the first line teams no longer maintained a squatting posture, but held the unloaded firearms in both hands, stood up in unison, waiting for the next order.

"Young Guardsmen, forward!"

Holding the gun in his left hand and the front of the butt in his right hand, the three-edged gun sword had already been set on the fire, and with the sound of war drums, Ding Junjie and his robes roared, and strode towards the remnants of the Wuwei Right Army less than twenty meters away!

The distance of twenty meters is just a distance that can be killed in the blink of an eye for Ding Junjie, who no longer needs to be strict or even deliberately keep his steps.

However, before they could approach the Qing troops who had been frightened, the fifth town on the far right of the Wuwei Right Army was the first to react.

It was just a scream full of fear, and the Fifth Town, which had always been regarded by Liu Cheng as the worst fighting force in the Wuwei Right Army, collapsed with a bang that lived up to expectations, and it didn't even give half a second to the officers at all levels of the Fifth Town to react. Even among the first crowd to flee, there were no missing officers, who fled in a hurry like a group of frightened rabbits, and had completely left the cruel training and strict military laws of the new army behind.

The Eight Banners of Goryeo resumed the tradition of the predecessors and later generations of their descendants who were defeated when they faced the iron armor of the Han family, but as soon as they were defeated, the fear spread like an infectious disease in the battle formations of other towns in only a moment, and the infantry phalanx of the entire Wuwei Right Army lost a small half of its soldiers in just one or two minutes, and inevitably entered the stage of collapse.

It's just that not everyone can react immediately like the Fifth Town, and in a short distance of less than twenty meters, most of the Qing troops have already been caught up by the young guards who rushed up before they could turn around.

"Kill!"

Ding Junjie's front legs were bowed, his hind legs were bent, and the fire gun stabbed straight through, and the three-edged sword pierced the lower abdomen of the new arms gun in front of him. Then there was a twist and a pull, and the firecracker, who had not yet reacted, looked at the place where the nail leaf pierced in disbelief, and blood and minced flesh splattered out. By the time he released his hands and tried to cover his abdomen, blood was already gushing out of his mouth, and then his legs went limp, and he fell heavily to the ground.

"This is the Yellow Team Officer's share!"

Drawing out the firecracker, Ding Junjie stepped on the corpse of this new army gunner and came to the front of another new army that had just reacted. Another straight stab, the sword was inserted through the gap between the two armor leaves, and then there was a twist, a belt, and the life of another new army entered the end of the rapid passage of time.

"This is Li Youzhi's share!"

The two armies fought in formation, and once one side collapsed, the other side would be one-sided. In terms of combat effectiveness, although the Wuwei Right Army cannot be compared with the Praetorian Guard, it is not much worse than the other three new armies, and even in some aspects, the Wuwei Right Army is even better, such as the strict order of the queue, such as the psychological quality of the soldiers when they kill people, such as the desire for meritorious rewards, and it is slightly stronger.

However, the sudden loss of many soldiers and the string of endurance for casualties were directly broken, and it would never be much better if it was placed in other new armies.

The Wuwei Right Army on the right flank of the new army suddenly collapsed after two rounds of approaching volleys, and even the cavalry behind the formation was disrupted by the rout. On the high platform of the town, the three highest-ranking commanders of the Qing army, the Qing Emperor Aixin Jueluo Shunzhi, the first warrior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Minister of the Guard, Guerjia Aobai, and the Minister of Staff of the Imperial Camp Liu Jia, were also shocked by such an incredible scene in the telescope.

However, after a blink of an eye, Aobai, who had been charging into battle since the time of Huang Taiji, was the first to react, and rushed off the high platform without saying a word. A moment later, he rushed towards the right flank of the collapsed army with part of the Mongol cavalry as a reserve.

On the high platform, Shunzhi put down the telescope and sat down on the ground. The eunuchs waiting beside him tried their best to pull him up, but Shunzhi, who sat on the dragon chair again, had already stayed there completely, letting the eunuchs call without any reaction.

Fighter planes are fleeting, especially at a time when a new army has already collapsed, and there is no room for the slightest hesitation. At this moment, Shunzhi has been completely shocked by the power of Chen Wenshi's method of lobster soldiers in the queue to shoot the times' signature tactics, Ao Bai is not there, it is imperative to cut first and then play, and he has to give one order after another to those heralds who are still in a daze, in order to alleviate the decline as much as possible.

Ao Bai had already taken some of the Mongolian cavalry to the rescue, and Liu Cheng knew very well that Ao Bai still left him a few thousand Mongolian cavalry to use as a reserve. These troops could not be moved at the moment, at least not on the right flank of the army, where the canal was separated by a mile or two, and it would not have achieved much effect by throwing in too many light cavalry, but because they were too crowded to lose the space for fighting.

With these Mongolian cavalry in his hands, ready to be thrown in the direction of the Praetorian Guard on the left flank at any time, Liu Cheng commanded the few forbidden troops called the forward battalion and the Xiaocai battalion of Fudo Shunzhi, even if it was useless to scatter the ministers, so he directly ordered the president of the Gong Guard Army, Doni, and ordered him to reinforce the right flank as quickly as possible. At least until the other fronts turn the defeat around, and the rout of the Wuwei Right Army can be re-converged and put back into the battlefield.

Doni is the owner of the Blue Banner, and the identity of Prince Shuoyu is very noble compared to Liu Cheng, a Han man who carries the flag, and Liu Cheng has never even had the qualifications to compare. However, Doni is also a commander with enough experience among the Manchu relatives and nobles, who is a little bit good, and naturally he can understand that the Qing army is on the verge of collapse of the whole army after the moment on the right flank, at least not like Fu Shou.

Sure enough, Liu Cheng's order was issued, and the Gongwei army launched an advance in the direction of the Wuwei Right Army, among which Doni personally led the cavalry of the headquarters to follow the footsteps of Aobai.

The collapse of the Wuwei Right Army is no longer something that can be recovered by Curb Pilon, but with the Gongwei Army and Aobai's cavalry to plug the gap, it will always be able to hold out for a while and a half. The layout of the Qing army was originally to break the right flank of the Northern Expeditionary Army with the Praetorian Guard on the left flank, so as to use the advantage of the superior number of cavalry to roll the snowball, so as to complete the defeat or even annihilation of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

The collapse of the right flank of the army was too sudden, and the Chinese army and the left flank were still firing at the Northern Expeditionary Army, and they had not yet been able to distinguish between the superior and the inferior. However, there was no time to waste now, and Liu Cheng had to mobilize the last force he could mobilize with the ability to make a final decision.

"Let the Hongyi artillery team move forward and bombard the current Zhejiang bandits of the Praetorian Guard for Lao Tzu, immediately!"

The European continent advocated the use of small-caliber artillery in field artillery, in order to facilitate the march and queue advance, and Sweden, which had the new army division method, was the most powerful advocate of this method of warfare, so there was not even one large-caliber artillery in the new army, but all three-pounder guns, and all of them had been put into the battlefield at this time.

However, in this battle, the Qing court was not completely unprepared, and the Hongyi artillery and mortar artillery could break through the city defense faster, and it would be more convenient to attack the city that refused to surrender on the way south after breaking the Northern Expeditionary Army. Now all the mortar cannons are in the capital, and they will be prioritized for recapturing Shanhaiguan in the future, but Hongyi cannons still brought out ten guns, which happened to be used here.

The order was issued, and without waiting for the herald to receive the order, Liu Cheng seemed to have seen the scene of the Hongyi artillery projectile bombarding the right flank of the Northern Expeditionary Army, speeding up its collapse process.

Suddenly, Liu Cheng just subconsciously felt that something was rapidly approaching his neck, so he immediately lowered his head. In the next second, Liu Cheng raised his head, the money rat tail behind his head had been cut off, and his braids were scattered, and when he turned around with vigilance, he saw Shunzhi holding a sword and looking at him angrily, eager to break him into pieces.

"Dog minion, this is the new army you have trained, and it will be defeated when it engages in battle, and it must be your hands and feet of this Han dog. Come on, pull this Han dog out and cut it down! ”

As soon as Shunzhi gave an order, the two guards on the tower directly drew their swords and rushed over. You are not allowed to bring a knife in front of the emperor, and Liu Cheng is no exception. In the face of the two internal guards killing here, he didn't explain, nor did he look for any substitutes, but just looked at the route of the two rushing over, rushed into the arms of one person, and held the guard's right hand holding the saber with one hand, and the arm was as if it was not his own, allowing Liu Cheng to control the saber and fly away with the saber slashed by the other guard.

Between the lightning and flint, Liu Cheng was one enemy and two, and he couldn't help but dissolve the killing move at the moment. The flying saber flew into the sky, and when it fell, it was inserted in front of Shunzhi, and when it landed, it scared the barbarian king into sitting on the floor of the high platform.

"There are assassins, escorts!"

The eunuch who reacted screamed at the throat of the male duck, and Liu Chengden screamed "shut up", and the eunuch fell to the ground softly, and a water stain flowed out of the crotch of his pants in an instant.

Liu Cheng let go of the guard's hand, the rough hand had been slightly distorted at this moment, and the black and purple handprints were clearly printed on it, obviously broken by Liu Cheng's grasp, and even the saber fell to the ground the moment Liu Cheng let go.

In terms of martial arts, Liu Cheng only convinced Li Ruixin in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies, and over the years, he has never stopped polishing martial arts for a day, even if Li Ruixin is now leading the army for a long time, he is negligent in polishing his personal skills, and he may not be his opponent when it comes to fighting alone.

The scene just now, for him, was even more extraordinary in the midst of extreme danger, which could not be replicated at all, but it was indeed very rare to be able to defeat two Ouchi guards with superior martial arts with his own strength, even as if he was killing a chicken, so that everyone present was immediately shocked on the spot, and it was not inferior to the full force of the young guard division just now.

However, Liu Cheng, who was overwhelming the audience, did not go down majesticly, but took two steps back, bowed to Shunzhi and fell to the ground, and after knocking his head three times, he explained: "Your Majesty, it's not a pity for the slave to die, but at this moment, it's just the collapse of an army, doesn't the emperor want to win?" ”

As soon as Liu Cheng said this, Shunzhi Deng, who had just been dizzy, reacted. Not to mention the all-out blow just now, just to say that the Ming army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang is strong, and without Liu Cheng, an existence who knows the inside story, it is impossible for them to win.

As Liu Cheng pointed out, now it is only the collapse of the right wing, and Ao Bai leads the team to help, and Liu Cheng has also made the most correct response. At this moment, the outcome has not yet been determined, Shunzhi's face changed a few colors, and he soon began to apologize to Liu Cheng for his Meng Lang, and repeatedly praised him for being mentally blinded, hoping that Liu Cheng could continue to serve the Qing court regardless of his previous suspicions.

Shunzhi's madness came as suddenly as he regained his composure, Liu Cheng also expressed his understanding, and the monarch and ministers "reconciled", so he re-picked up the telescope in the fearful eyes of everyone, observed carefully for a while, and then went back to the sand table to start the deduction.

"Your Majesty, the time to decide the outcome is coming soon, and the grenadiers of the Hongyi artillery and the forward battalion must be sent to the left flank at once. If the current Zhejiang bandits of the Praetorian Guard could not be defeated before the collapse of the right flank began to sweep through the Chinese army, then the imperial court would have no hope of victory. ”

"What the forehead said is very true, and the quasi-Qing played!"
