Chapter 19 A hundred battles and a hundred victories over the Qi family's army

Before the troops attacked, they lost more than a dozen brothers, and the Ming army troops equipped with so many firearms, except for the Shenji Battalion, Chen Gui couldn't think of any other troops. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The original concept of the Shenji Battalion was to equip all personnel with firearms, but in this way, the equipment was expensive, not to mention, due to the lack of waterproof technology, it was impossible to fight in rainy days, so it was finally decided to cut the firearms equipment in half, and the remaining half of the soldiers were mainly composed of pikemen, rattan players and other soldiers who were only equipped with cold weapons.

The main duty of these cold-armed soldiers is not to attack, but to prepare for the rapid surprise attack of enemy cavalry, to buy time for the musketeers to counterattack, and at the same time, to protect the musketeers who cannot fight on rainy days.

Now as soon as the other party exchanged fire, he shot and killed more than a dozen soldiers on his side, and looking at the frequency of this gunshot, it is definitely not less than "fifty" gunners, if you count the pikemen and rattan players who did not fight, the number of people in this group of Shenji battalions in front of them is definitely more than 100.

And Li Zicheng's cavalry troops, in order to ensure rapid mobility, were not equipped with heavy armor (mainly limited financial resources), and in the face of musketeers, if they were in an open terrain, after the cavalry ran, they had the strength to fight.

But now that they are blocked in the village, and everyone has dismounted and continued to stay here, it is simply a live target!

The best way to do this is to withdraw as soon as possible, mobilize the infantry with shields, and enter the village to clear it.

However, Chen Gui didn't know that he was not facing the Shenji Battalion, but the Qi family army that had won a hundred battles!

The Mandarin Duck Formation, which added three shots, only sent three groups and thirty-six musketeers, and produced a firing effect of fifty people.

If Chen Gui really didn't care about rushing forward, more than a hundred people, facing thirty-six musketeers, still had the power to fight, even if he couldn't win, he could still defeat the other party.

It's a pity that he was afraid, the feeling of the bullet sticking to his cheek made him remember it vividly, and in the face of the continuous gunfire, he didn't have the courage to fight back at all, and he didn't even notice that the density of fire on the opposite side was actually not high.

At the beginning, Li Hongfei felt that with Qi Hongying's sixty or seventy people, it was a little difficult to annihilate more than 100 intruding troops, although the gun formation was powerful, but the actual number was only that little, plus the bird guns equipped by Qi Hongying's troops, most of them were arquebuses from 20 years ago, and their rate of fire was half slower than the flintlock pistols equipped by the Shenji Battalion today, and they could shoot three shots in two minutes on average, which was already an extremely skilled gunner.

As a modern person, Li Hongfei is used to seeing those, automatic firepower that can shoot hundreds of bullets a minute, and he does look down on this kind of slow arquebus, but the ancient people are different, in the face of the gun array, he always feels that the opposite side is shooting all the time, and the ghost knows how many enemies there are in this village?

The reason why the Eight-Nation Coalition was able to defeat the 100,000 Manchu army with a few thousand foreign guns was to use this kind of terrifying deterrent power of continuous killing.

In the case of a small difference in numbers, as long as the commander is not stupid, the hot weapon can basically win.

And the battle situation at this time was indeed the case, Chen Gui's team had not yet withdrawn from the village entrance, and Guo Sheng, who was in charge of blocking the entrance, rushed out.

Because Chen Gui's subordinates were retreating, most of them were crowded together, and the fourteen musketeers who were responsible for blocking the mouth, plus six brocade guards, did not use the mandarin duck array, and the twenty bird guns lined up, and fired a salvo towards the dense crowd, and more than ten people fell to the ground immediately.

After firing, the Qi family army carefully put the bird gun aside, pulled out the long knife he was wearing, and quickly rushed towards the enemy camp.

"Qi Jiajun Guo Sheng is here, and the thief is not going to die soon!"

Guo Sheng, who was carrying a thickened broadsword, rushed to the front, and the knife fell in his hand, and an enemy soldier who could not dodge was immediately beheaded.

Although Wang Guoxing did not shout like Guo Sheng, he was also not far behind, the embroidered spring knife in his hand was fast but not chaotic, the knife was deadly, and when Guo Sheng pounced on the second enemy, he was pulling out the embroidered spring knife from the second dead soldier.

Obviously, Wang Guoxing's killing efficiency is higher than Guo Sheng's.

Although Guo Sheng's killing speed is not as fast as Wang Guoxing, he shot fiercely, and his strength is infinite, a soldier wanted to raise a knife to resist, but not only was the knife cut in two, but Guo Sheng's strength was undiminished, and he directly cut off one of the opponent's arms.

For a while, the two of them came out of the cage like fierce tigers, invincible, and cooperated with more than 30 Ming soldiers who rushed out behind them, which made the already demoralized army even more chaotic.

Although Qi Hongying wore a long sword at her waist, she did not rush to the front line, but looked around with a three-eyed gun, whenever a Ming soldier was in danger, she would shoot quickly, and it was often a one-hit kill.

As the name suggests, the three-eyed gun is a firearm with three guns that can be fired in turns, and it is a more advanced burst firearm in the Ming Dynasty, but due to its short range (effective range of 50 meters), it is not suitable for field combat, and is eventually only issued to leading generals at all levels, but it is somewhat similar to the pistols of later generations.

Although this weapon can only fire a maximum of three shots (the subsequent reloading is slower than that of the bird's gun), Qi Hongying can do it, killing an enemy soldier with each shot, and saving a soldier of his own, which shows his marksmanship.

As for Li Hongfei, he was accompanying Zhu Youzhen at this time, observing the battle on a high roof in the village, and seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Li Hongfei, who had nothing to do, even took out a bag of melon seeds from the tourist backpack he carried with him, and watched a good show while eating melon seeds.

"Your Majesty, do you want to have some?" Li Hongfei handed the melon seeds to Zhu Youzhen.

"I don't have an appetite, so I'd better eat it myself, sir."

Zhu Youzhen was staring intently at the battlefield not far away at this time, how could he have the heart to eat snacks.

"Don't worry, it's all on this, and the thieves can't do any tricks." Li Hongfei packed the ticket and said.

The battle has been fought like this, it can be said that it has been won, not to mention the two killing machines of Guo Sheng and Wang Guoxing, that is, the ordinary soldiers on the side of the Qi family's army, they all have the ability to fight one against two, not to mention that the number of people on both sides is almost equal now, if this is not won, Li Hongfei will simply jump off the roof.

Anyway, if the Qi family army loses, he will definitely die.........

The entrance to the village was not large, more than a hundred people were fighting in such a small place, and the space to move was very limited, coupled with Guo Sheng's murderous killing methods, the intruding troops on the periphery were afraid, and they began to retreat into the village, hoping to get as far away from this murderous madman as possible.
