Chapter 551: Spear Distance
"Shaowei, this is called queuing to be shot." Sun Yuan said softly.
Next to him, a cavalryman who had just joined the Ningxiang Army for a few days asked: "Dare to ask the general, what is the meaning of shooting."
。 ”
Shao Wei: "It's to be killed with a gun." ”
The cavalry laughed: "It's appropriate, but it's like a queue, rushing up to send ...... to death" But as soon as he saw Shao Wei's black face, which was about to drip water, the cavalry hurriedly put away his smile: "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing." ”
Shao Wei: "It's nothing, your cavalry is also a good man who dares to shed blood on the battlefield." Our Ningxiang Army has many tactics that are different from the nine sides, you will know it later, take a closer look! If you line up to die, you can win this battle. ”
As he spoke, the phalanx of spears behind the musketeers followed, and in the same silent manner they met the enemy's constant stream of feathered arrows, and they were no less confused.
Qin Yi, the officer who walked at the forefront of the team, was naturally the most important target for the enemy's archers, of course, he was an officer, and he was naturally wearing thick armor. Like the generals of the Ming Dynasty's Jiubian Town Army, he was wearing a thick cotton armor, and the helmet with a long lightning rod on his head was also imposing.
As the musketeers moved forward, Kennu's rain of arrows thinned out and changed from hanging to flat.
Sun Yuan was still a little worried about Qin Yi, but since Shao Wei used this person to play as a striker, there must be something that ordinary people did not have in this old Tianxiong officer. So, he observed it carefully.
But I saw that Qin Yi had already been hit by six or seven arrows, and there were trembling feather arrows everywhere on his chest and shoulders, which looked shocking. But he still walked forward with the same complexion, the rhythm of his steps was not chaotic at all, and there was an indescribable rhythm in it, which was very beautiful. If this guy had been born in modern times, he would have been able to become a dancer.
The black banner in his hand was not large, it was a small triangle with a stick on a spear, which was fully unfolded at this moment. The black banner flew and fluttered, and the tip of the spear shone like a torch in the glow.
Although he knew that the armor on his body was very thick, and he would not die even if he was shot by an arrow, the feeling of being pierced was very bad. Sun Yuan was shot a few arrows on the battlefield, even if he was wearing a plate armor on the outside and soft armor on the inside, the arrows still penetrated the flesh about a centimeter deep, and the pain was terrible.
The arrow on Qin Yi's body must have been shot into his body at least one centimeter, that kind of pain, he felt uncomfortable when he thought about it. But this guy gritted his teeth and endured it without saying a word, and his face was even more shocked.
With him leading the team, the musketeers behind were not surprised at all, even though they were close enough to see the charred teeth in the enemy's mouth
。
Sun Yuan smiled: "Shaowei, you make this person good." It can be regarded as an affirmation of Shaowei's vision of employing people.
After the battle, Sun Yuan learned that Qin Yi was hit by fourteen arrows in this battle, and the clothes on his body had been completely burned red by blood. Because of the excessive blood loss, as soon as the battle ended, he fainted. Later, after eating the old hen stew soup for half a month in one go, it was relieved.
Seeing the Ningxiang musketeers approaching step by step, Jiannu also knew that they would definitely meet a salvo next. It's just that when the enemy shoots, they don't know.
Generally speaking, because the musketeers of the Ming army did not have strict training, after going to the battlefield, as soon as they saw the Jianzhou soldiers, before they could enter the firing range, they indiscriminately shot out the ammunition in their hands, and the results were naturally zero. After a round of shooting, before they could reload their ammunition, the Jianzhou soldiers had already killed them. As a result, they could only throw away the muskets in their hands and collapse.
But today, this group of Ming army musketeers was terrifyingly calm, and they did not shoot alive.
This was the first time that the real Manchu soldiers of the Yuetuo Department had faced the Ningxiang army face-to-face, and they had no psychological preparation at all.
When the Ningxiang army was still a hundred meters away from them, they thought the musketeers would shoot; When the musketeers were still fifty meters away from them, they thought the enemy would shoot. But when the two armies were thirty meters apart, there was still no shooting.
At this distance, as long as the people of Jianzhou are willing, they don't need to aim, they can easily shoot a soldier of the Ningxiang Army by pulling out their bows.
But even in the face of the danger of death, the enemy silently endured the advance.
Some Jiannu couldn't help but put away his bow, replaced it with a big stick and a long axe to charge forward. Some still opened their bows, others turned their heads to the officers, wanting to hear the officers' instructions, and the ranks were a little confused.
At this time, the two armies were ten meters apart, almost face to face.
The officer of the Ningxiang Army, who had a pennant tied to his spear, suddenly leveled the spear in his hand, and shouted with all his strength: "Shoot!" ”
"Shoot!"
"Shoot!"
"Shoot!"
All the squad officers were shouting, and then, their roars were muffled by the neat sound of gunfire, and were enveloped in a large cloud of white smoke
。
Such a distance was almost like putting the muzzle of the gun on Jiannu's chest and holding fire, and the dense projectiles laid a web of death in front of the battle. Finger-thick buckshot pierced through shields, iron armor, muscles, and human tissues...... Pierce everything in front of them that stands in their way.
After three volleys, like a hurricane sweeping across the plains, the wounded soldiers fell to the ground in front of them and lay dead and wailing in the mud.
Jiannu was shocked, and he also knew that it was not a way to be beaten so passively. Under the fire of the musket, whether you wear iron armor or cotton armor, or no armor at all, the final result is the same.
They didn't know that it was precisely because of the extensive use of European muskets in the same era and the popularization of new tactics that the so-called spear hard crossbow fast horse iron armor had completely withdrawn from the stage of history at this moment.
Immediately, a Qing officer shouted and pounced with his men, and the musketeers of the Ningxiang Army had rushed close enough. The musket was so slow to reload that if it was pasted at the first time, the infantry would be a one-sided massacre against the musketeers.
The white smoke billowed in front of him, the vision was hazy, and the smell of gunpowder smoke stimulated people's blood to boil.
Just as Jiannu dreamed of drinking the blood of the Ming army with the weapons in his hands, a row of spears poked out of the gunsmoke.
What kind of spear this is, almost desperately long.
"Spear, left, stab!"
"Thorn!"
"Thorn!"
A soul-stinging roar was heard, as were the enemy's spears.
Jiannu was surprised to find that the enemy's spear seemed to have some magic attached to it, no matter how he dodged and parried desperately, in an instant, his ribs would be pierced by a spear.
"Ahh The cries of pain resounded through the heavens and the earth in an instant.
Sun Yuan bowed his head and said to Shao Wei, who had been following him: "The distance between the enemy and me is five meters, this is the distance of a spear!" ”
