readx; After leaving behind more than 3,000 corpses, the Qing army was finally defeated. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoAmin led most of his troops to the village five miles south of Qian'an City to avoid the long-range artillery attack of the Ming army; The rest of the troops were stationed four miles north of the city, guarding the road to Baiyangyu.

Amin also sent the general Kazhu to lead a thousand cavalry to Yongping urgently, preparing to evacuate the people there outside the pass. Naturally, all the gold, silver, soft and other things had to be transported away, and as for the grain, it could only be pulled as much as it was. Qian'an is more than 30 miles away from Yongping, and it is 70 miles back and forth. It was too late now, and the Qing army could only wait for another night under the city, and then retreat together after meeting tomorrow morning.

But the Ming army clearly did not intend to give the Qing army a respite. First of all, the north gate of Qian'an was opened, and Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew led five hundred Guanning iron cavalry to fight again. Their tactics were also very simple, that is, to rush straight into the enemy formation and use the absolute superiority of heavy equipment to rush through the Qing army.

The Qing army in the north of the city is only about 1,000 people, and after the battle just now, there are still many wounded, how can they resist the strong breakthrough of the enemy's Guanning iron cavalry. As soon as they set up camp, the Guanning Iron Cavalry arrived. This Qing army was "a single man who does not suffer immediate losses", knowing that there is absolutely no good fruit to eat in a frontal battle, and immediately fled to the north.

Cao Wenzhao didn't chase much, because if it was a long-distance attack, it was impossible for the heavy cavalry to catch up with the light cavalry. But the Qing army could run the monk and couldn't run the temple, those military tents had just been laid, and there was no time to dismantle them, and they all belonged to the Ming army. The soldiers of the Guanning Iron Cavalry dismantled these things, took away all the things that could be taken away, and lit a fire if they couldn't take away, and the fire rushed in an instant. The Qing army looked at it from a distance but didn't dare to come, and couldn't help but cry bitterly, complaining that Amin shouldn't let them come here to find bad luck. Well, even staying overnight tonight is a problem.

And the south of the city is even more lively. Under the cover of the fire of the Yuan Rong cannon and the Xiaoyao cannon, Hao Yongzhong led three hundred cavalry to kill from the city gate. But this time he didn't want to fight the Qing army in close quarters, nor did he shoot with bows and arrows, these three hundred cavalry all used the bird guns provided by Meng Gong.

Originally, the range of the bird gun and the range of the bow and arrow are not too much, if the normal battle, the bird gun is fired once and the loading time is too long, but the bow and arrow can be fired continuously, so it is basically impossible for the cavalry to use firearms against the Qing army, or have to rely on traditional methods to fight.

Today, however, it is an exception. After the heavy snowfall, the north wind blew strongly, the Qing army was in the south, the Ming army was in the north, and the Qing army was at the downwind. The impact of the strong wind on the flight trajectory of the arrow is very large, in the battle just now, many careful Ming soldiers found that the Qing army's arrows not only did not shoot accurately, but also shortened the range a lot, originally able to shoot 80 steps, now can shoot 50 steps is good.

Comparatively speaking, the lead bullet of the bird gun is much more affected by air resistance, almost negligible. Therefore, Hao Yongzhong had an idea, and personally led three hundred elite horsemen to carry out this battle with bird guns.

Due to the influence of Zhu Youzhen's "firearms supremacy", even the cavalry of the 3,000 battalion included the use of bird guns in their daily training. These cavalry completed the reloading in the process of marching, and when they were about 100 paces away from the Qing army's camp, Hao Yongzhong cautiously ordered the troops to stop and fire the first volley.

"Bang bang bang!" For a time, there was a lot of gunfire on the field, and 300 cavalrymen lined up in a long row, aiming at the Qing army to complete the shooting. Although the Qing army was prepared and tried to find a place where they could hide from bullets, the camp was no better than a city, and the outside was only a wooden fence, and bullets could pass through the gaps between the fences. Although the Ming army was relatively far away and had already reached the effective range of the bird's gun, after a round of volleys, seven or eight Qing soldiers were still shot and fell in a pool of blood.

Amin had just returned from a big defeat and was on fire, and when he saw that the 300 cavalry of the Ming Military Region also dared to provoke, and all of them were light cavalry, he couldn't help but be furious and immediately ordered his men to counterattack. At this time, his most powerful general, Kazhu, had already gone to Yongping, and another strong general, Niyaha, took the initiative to ask Ying to fight. He organized five Niu Lu under his command, and about a thousand cavalry immediately mounted their horses, first fiercely fired arrows at the Ming army, and then shouted to kill out of the camp.

But as Hao Yongzhong expected, due to the effect of the strong wind, this round of arrow rain shot as far as sixty paces, and even the edge of the Ming army could not be touched. Not only could it not give any damage to the Ming army, but it was equivalent to sending a signal to the Ming army. Hao Yongzhong immediately ordered: "Retreat!" ”

The three hundred light cavalry immediately galloped back, and the Qing army followed unwillingly, and the distance between the two sides was about 100 paces. Suddenly, two huge cannons rang out at the head of Qian'an City, and the two Yuanrong cannons spoke again. Due to the excellent production, the error of the landing point of the cannonball is very large, that is, within a few zhang, and the distance between Hao Yongzhong and the pursuers is more than forty or fifty zhang, so there is no need to worry about being injured by mistake. These two shells accurately landed in the pursuing Qing army's formation, and several cavalrymen were smashed into a pool of blood.

Although only a few people were killed, the psychological deterrent effect of the cannon was enormous. The Qing army had already been beaten into frightened birds in the battle just now, and when they heard the sound of artillery, they were all frightened. People are okay, they still have military discipline constraints; But their horses had never been in such a battle before. In the battle just now, more than 100 of their companions were also killed, and at this time, there were shells falling next to them, and many war horses were startled at once, and they were happy and sneered, and they lifted off the horses of their masters who had been with them for many years, and then ran into the dusk snowfield without looking back, and ran away without a trace in a short time.

In this way, Niyaha will not be able to chase down, because he also knows that if he chases again, it will not only be two Yuan Rong cannons, but all the cannons at the head of the Ming army will be fired. Coupled with the chaos of the Qing army's formation, there was no way to chase it anymore, so he had to return to the camp in a stupid manner.

But as soon as the Qing army left, Hao Yongzhong's 300 cavalry turned back. In the process of retreating just now, the bird gun had already completed loading, and the Ming army chased and shot while holding the ass of the Qing army, and killed many enemies.

Of course, this tactic can be established, thanks to the fact that the Ming army has changed a large number of flintlock bird guns, at least the bird guns brought by Meng Gong are all flintlock guns, which can be fired without ignition. Otherwise, as soon as you run on your horse, the strong wind will blow out the fire rope long ago.

After repeating this several times, the Qing army simply made the three hundred Ming troops cry without tears, so they had to retreat five miles again and camp. More than 10,000 people forced 300 people to retreat, this kind of scene did not appear in the Ming and Qing wars, but in the past few decades, the Qing army has been chasing the Ming army, and now it is finally reversed!
