Chapter 198 The Qing Army Is Not Afraid of Shooting Three Third Changes

The third update, Luo Luo weakly asked for a monthly pass, a monthly pass, is there anything else?

In later generations, experts on the Internet often said: "The Qing army is not afraid of firearms shooting, but only white-knuckle fighting." ”

Another expert said: "The range of the British army's smoothbore guns is not as good as that of bows and arrows, so the defeat of the Qing army in the Opium War has nothing to do with weapons." ”

It is estimated that these experts did not know that in the mid-19th century, Western armies had light infantry using rifled guns, and under normal circumstances, Western armies first let light infantry come out to shoot the opponent's line infantry - if the other side did not have light infantry and cavalry, they would wait until the opponent's line infantry could not bear the casualties and collapse, and then let their own line infantry and cavalry charge. Although this Western army was more courageous than the traditional feudal army, their officers would not let their subordinates make unnecessary sacrifices.

Today, the nearly 3,000 Jishi troops commanded by Zhu Jishi are completely using Western-style training and Western-style tactics. Before the 360 Bessemai rifles broke the fighting spirit of the Qing soldiers, the line infantry of the Jishi Army was only a spectator and would never charge.

Standing on the top of Phoenix Mountain, looking eastward, the 3,000 Jishi Army with the banner of the sun and the moon lined up against Dadong Mountain, clearly occupying an unfavorable terrain, and the formation was not set up, but deployed in columns, and the front used to meet the enemy was extremely narrow, which was not conducive to giving full play to the advantages of muskets. Moreover, the Jishi army did not have a large team to press, but sent a team of three or four hundred people, and fired guns from a distance, as if they wanted to harass the Qing army - this is clearly not knowing how to arrange troops!

"This thief does not know how to fight...... It seems that the battle on Lantau Island was a complete success......"

Admiral Lai, a veteran martial artist who has been in the army for decades, watched the battle for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that this battle would be won, and twisted his beard to show a smiling face. It seems that the coffin is really useless. However, the reputation of carrying the coffin to the expedition can be a celebrity in history. It's just that I don't know if the thief chief Zhu Jishi is on Lantau Island. If you can take its first season. When there is hope for a marquis, right?

Zheng Meimei thought that the Qing army in front of her seemed to be shaking, and then someone came to report.

"Yu Junmen, the four battalions in the front and back are quite seriously wounded, Zhong Shenrong please retreat a hundred steps."

"This Zhong Jinshi turned out to be a bodhisattva! Can you be afraid of the dead in this war? Lord Ryan said with a sneering face, "Tell General Zhong that you must not take a step back, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" ”

When the order of "not taking a step back" was passed into the hands of Zhong Ziliang. The large array of more than 3,000 Qing soldiers had been shot dead for an hour, and more than half of the shotgunners standing in the front row had already been killed or wounded by the shotgunners who were shooting at the World Army with their guns and shotguns. At one time, there were still people who wanted to escape from the battle, but they were ordered by Zhong Jinshi, the "Bodhisattva's heart", to cut off their heads, and their heads were inserted with wooden poles and lined up behind the Qing army's large array.

It's just that the firepower of the Qing army is still gradually thinning, and the platoon of guns of the Jishi army on the opposite side is still tight. Every twenty or thirty breaths was a round of guns, endlessly, fine bullets rained over, after a burst of gunfire, there was an extra row of corpses in front of the Qing army. This is a tough way to get shot. Not to mention the Qing soldiers, it is also unbearable to change to the English lobster soldiers.

Zhong Jinshi is not very good at fighting, though. But he also knew that such a hard-shot style of fighting would definitely not work, so he ordered several guerrillas and capital divisions, "Call me to select a front!" Each person will receive a reward of one silver dollar, and a reward of five silver dollars will be added to the first rank! Lao Tzu wants 300 people, and he fights with these rabbit cubs who put guns far away! ”

A silver dollar? Hearing this reward, Zhong Jinshi's guerrillas and Dusi couldn't cry or laugh, you are always a Guangdong sailor soldier who has never seen a bitter haha of Shanxi soldiers? A piece of ocean is not enough for them to pay for cigarettes a day, whose life will they exchange for?

"Shen Rong, the reward number is too low, I'm afraid I won't be able to recruit brothers!"

Someone reminded Zhong Jinshi at that moment. Zhong Ziliang stomped his feet, "The reward number has doubled, there is no more!" At least 80 people will be at the head of a battalion, and one less will be on top of yourself! "Several guerrillas and dushi all went to pull people's heads with sad faces.

Zhong Jinshi took a rattan card and held it in his left hand, pulled out his waist knife with his right hand and waved it a few times. Zhong Ziliang is a martial artist, his martial arts are naturally high, he is proficient in all eighteen weapons, and the method of sword and shield is no exception. I just don't know if I can block the bullet with a rattan card? However, in the time of a stick of incense, three hundred and dozens of crying green battalion soldiers were also escorted over by more than a dozen military attachΓ©s with the same rattan cards and single knives. Zhong Jinshi nodded with satisfaction, "Everyone follows me, and rewards and guarantees are indispensable when the time comes!" After this battle, I invite everyone to go to Guangzhou, go to the most haode restaurant, and prostitute the most beautiful bitch! Brothers, come after me! ”

"Ming Gong, the Qing soldiers seem to ...... On the charge! ”

It has been more than an hour since the muskets on the front line were fired, and today is another windless day, the smoke of gunpowder disperses relatively slowly, standing in Zhu Jishi's position, he basically can't see the situation on the front line clearly, but Su Yuniang's eyes are very good, Zhong Jinshi was seen by her as soon as he led the charge.

Zhu Jishi hurriedly raised the monocular and looked in the direction of Su Yuniang's finger, and sure enough, there were many Qing soldiers holding shields charging slowly.

"It's so slow!"

"Probably because you're afraid of death?"

"Do you want the infantry to go up for reinforcements?"

"It seems unnecessary, Han Pojun should be able to handle it."

The officers around Zhu Jishi discussed for a while, and soon there was a public opinion.

"Free fire! Free Fire! Hit the legs and feet of those sword soldiers! ”

Han Si, who was on the front line, had already reacted. If the Qing army brigade on the opposite side swarmed up, he would have ordered a retreat immediately without saying a word. However, there are only more than 300 sword players, but they can't help his 360 Besemai rifles. The light infantry in the Jishi Army has undergone strict training in musket shooting, and it is not a problem to shoot a live person within 300 yards, and it is even more difficult to shoot anywhere within 100 yards.

Bang bang bang......

The scattered and dense sound of gunfire replaced the previous uniform row of guns, and the three hundred and sixty Besemai rifles sprayed conical projectiles at the fastest speed, knocking the Qing soldiers who were slowly charging with shields to the ground. Because they didn't know if the bullet could penetrate the shield, the light infantry of the Jishi Army chose to shoot at the exposed limbs of the Qing soldiers, and the overturned Qing soldiers did not die, but rolled down the hill screaming.

"Light a company, on the bayonet ......"

Seeing that many Qing soldiers rolled in front of him, Han Si loudly ordered a company of light infantry to bayonet and prepare to stab people. At the beginning of the 19th century, rifled guns of light infantry were not equipped with bayonets. However, by the 40s of the 19th century, almost all rifled guns, like smoothbore guns, were equipped with bayonets as standard, and the rifles designed by Besemai were no exception.

"Lay down your arms! Surrender or die! ”

Not to kill is a tradition of the Jishi Army, whether in Borneo or on the coast of China, it is the same. After all, prisoners can be "sold for money", or the captives' families pay a ransom, or they are sold to Nanyang as coolies, all of which are a sum of income, and the officers and soldiers who capture the captives can get half of the income. Therefore, these light infantry of the Jishi Army are just shouting, and they don't really stab people with bayonets -- these Qing soldiers who rolled down the mountain were all hit by lead bullets that stopped very well, and each of them had a hole in their bodies that kept bleeding out, and they were going to die of pain, so where did they still have the ability to fight the enemy hand-to-hand? This is really a battlefield, not a movie or TV series in later generations, where you can survive dozens of bullets. Therefore, almost all the wounded soldiers of the Qing army who rolled down were tied up with weak hands and feet, and no one resisted.

And Zhong Ziliang, who is a martial artist, is now also throwing his sword card and howling there with his thighs! This Zhong martial artist is not very afraid of pain, nor has he not been injured, he is not a martial artist in Gangzhong, he has been in the army for more than ten years, and there are no less than ten bandits of all sizes, and he has also fought with martial artists on the rivers and lakes, and he has been injured by knife wounds and guns (red tassel guns), but he has never been as painful as now, and he has shed so much blood. It seems that what the rivers and lakes say about "no matter how high the martial arts are, they are afraid of foreign guns" still makes sense...... Thinking of this, Zhong Jinshi's two arms were twisted, and there was a sharp knife on his neck. I could faintly hear someone shouting in Cantonese.

"Colonel Han, catch a big official! It's the top of the blue child, the third-grade official! (To be continued......)
