Chapter 228: The play is very good
Three-stage shooting?
Isn't it a long time since I used it, why do you use three-stage shooting again? Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is indeed a three-stage shooting, and all the muskets that everyone is holding are front-loading muskets, no longer rear-loading muskets, and the bullets used are not copper-cased bullets, but paper-shell bullets.
In order to be proficient in the use of this old-fashioned musket, as soon as possible to become proficient and get started, we also specially trained for two or three days, fortunately, some veterans used this musket at the beginning, and after two or three days of training, everyone can basically use it proficiently.
"Here they are, here they are, ready to fight!"
The colonel in charge of the command shouted again, and the saber swayed diagonally into the distance, in the distance, a large number of figures had already appeared, and there was no need to think that it was the vanguard of the Tartars, thousands of descendants.
Before the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Bai Guangen was beautiful, but now the phoenix that has landed is not as good as a chicken, and it actually acts as cannon fodder.
Obviously, this army also saw the soldiers of this regiment, Bai Guangen raised his hand, and these people stopped one after another, about two or three hundred meters away from the soldiers, and the two armies confronted each other.
One of the generals said: "General, they are few people, should we rush over now?" ”
Bai Guangen pouted and said, "You are stupid, they are muskets, don't worry, wait a little longer." ”
The enemy did not attack, the soldiers did not shoot, the two sides just confronted, did not use force, after waiting for about half an hour, another Tartar army came, a Tartar general said angrily: "Why don't you attack?" ”
These surrendering troops had no choice but to attack hard, first hundreds of people, holding thick shields, cautiously advancing, followed by some archers.
300 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters......
When within a hundred meters, the colonel in charge of the command shouted: "Shoot, shoot!" ”
"Bang, bang, bang......"
The soldiers raised their guns to shoot, a typical three-stage shooting method, the first row of fighters after shooting back and reloading, the second row of soldiers stepped forward to shoot.
"Ahh!!h The screams continued, most of the hundreds of cannon fodder were killed, and the remaining part of the people saw that the form was not right, and immediately routed and fled for their lives.
The Tartar generals were so angry that they asked Bai Guangen to send people to attack again, this time the number was a little more, about a thousand, but it still failed, and after hundreds of casualties, these surrendered troops were defeated again.
"You're so bad." The Tartar generals were so angry that they ordered their own people to go in person, of course, Bai Guangen still had to send hundreds of people to participate, and act as cannon fodder in the front, and hundreds of Tartars followed, and the total number of people was also above the previous hundreds.
This time, the formation of the fighters was obviously messy, many soldiers panicked, and after Bai Guangen's hundreds of cannon fodder were killed and wounded, many Tartars finally rushed to the front of the soldiers' ranks.
The soldiers were even more panicked, the shooting was also messy, and even some of the fighters began to be wounded, and the colonel in charge of the command had no choice but to order a retreat, fighting and retreating.
One retreats, the other chases.
After paying hundreds of casualties, the Tartars chased for two or three miles before stopping the pursuit, and the Tartar generals laughed happily as they watched the warriors run away without a trace.
Such a battle was staged more than once, although the Tartars encountered the resistance of the soldiers, but after each time they paid casualties, the Tartars still defeated the soldiers, and the Tartar troops advanced smoothly.
By the next morning, the Tartars were only more than ten miles away from Tianjin Wei, and it didn't take long for the Tartars to come to the city.
Langfang.
The battle situation in front of him continued to reach Dolgon's ears, and Dolgon was happy to learn that his large army had advanced to a position only ten miles away from Tianjin.
"Master, you see, this is the musket used by Zhang Feng and them."
A Tartar general sent a musket, which was a smoothbore front-loading gun, the earliest musket used by the independent division, which had long been obsolete, and about one or two thousand such muskets had been kept in the arsenal of the independent division, and no one cared about it.
Originally, according to the original plan, this batch of front-loading smoothbore guns was to be transported to North Korea after the New Year to equip the Korean army, but it had not yet had time to be transported, and it was just given to the soldiers to lure the enemy into depth.
Holding this musket, Dolgon looked and looked, and found that this gun was well-made, and the firing range should be one or twenty feet farther than his arquebus, and Dolgon's understanding of Zhang Feng was one step deeper.
The Tartar general next to him said: "Master, this gun is well built, do we build it in large quantities after this gun?" ”
Dorgon said, "Give the guns to the Miscellaneous Bureau and order them to build them in large quantities." ”
Dolgon didn't know, just with his craftsman of the Miscellaneous Bureau, even if he had this kind of musket as a sample, it was absolutely impossible to build it in large quantities, and if it took two or three months to create a few imitations, it was still possible, and it was absolutely impossible to produce them in large quantities.
Although it is a smoothbore front loading gun, it involves a lot of things, such as high-quality fine iron, such as standard measuring tools, such as vernier calipers, etc., such as a complete set of manufacturing processes, otherwise, mass production and manufacturing are not imaginary.
It was precisely because of this that Zhang Feng was relieved to "abandon" a few of these front-loading smoothbore guns on the ground, so as to paralyze Dolgon and others.
Sure enough, after seeing this musket, Dolgon thought that he had the bottom in his heart and had a deeper understanding of Zhang Feng's.
That is, Zhang Feng's musket battalion is more advanced than his own musket battalion weapons, but the advanced is limited, his own musket battalion uses six-stage shooting, which can also provide continuous firepower, Zhang Feng's musket, but the rate of fire is a little faster, can use three-stage shooting, it is estimated that this musket can hit a little farther.
"Master, our main force is already approaching Tianjin Wei, and we can arrange for the siege." Next to him, there was a Tartar military general who said happily.
Dolgon nodded, "Make full use of our red-coated cannons, storm the city, and then everyone rush into the city and kill all Zhang Feng's men." ”
………
Tianjin Wei.
Zhang Feng personally climbed the city wall, looked into the distance with a telescope, and with the help of the telescope, he could see the situation clearly several miles away.
In the distance, a big battle is taking place.
The warriors were retreating in a "panic" and were fighting and retreating into the city, and behind the warriors, a large number of Tartars were pursuing.
About half an hour later, all the soldiers outside the city retreated into the Tianjin Acropolis, and from a distance, you could see that the city wall was densely packed with soldiers.
If you look closely, the Tartar will definitely vomit blood with anger, and the figures on the city wall, where are the warriors, just some scarecrows wearing military uniforms and steel helmets, just looking at them from a distance, they look like human figures, and the Tartars must have thought that the city wall was full of warriors.
In fact, the total number of the entire Tianjin Guard, plus the more than 1,000 soldiers who had just "retreated" into the city, did not exceed 5,000.
In the area of Tianjin Wei, there were originally two divisions with a total of 40,000 people, but now there are only about 5,000 people in the Tianjin Acropolis, so what about the other 30,000 people, where did they go?
It is estimated that only Zhang Feng and others know, and the Tartars definitely don't know, and they definitely can't think about it.
Outside the Tianjin Acropolis.
The Tartars have already approached the city, and in the distance, a large area is densely packed, and the nearest Tartar from Tianjin Wei is estimated to be only three or five hundred meters.
A Tartar general, he is the owner of the Manchu White Flag banner, the fifteenth son of Nurhachi, the half-brother of Dolgon, and the Prince of Yu Duoduo.
Duoduo followed Dolgon into the light, captured the city of Beijing, and defeated Li Zicheng, Duoduo did not lead the army to the west to pursue Li Zicheng, but was "entrusted with the important task" by Dolgon, and personally led the army to attack Tianjin Wei.
Duoduo was a ruthless character, ruthless, and killed many people after the capture of Beijing, many of whom were unarmed ordinary people.
Historically, Duoduo led the Manchu Tartars to the south of the Yangtze River, broke Yangzhou, and then slaughtered the city, killed Shi Kefa, and captured King Fu. This is a murderous madman, slaughtering tens of thousands of ordinary people.
Dressed in armor and riding a horse, on horseback, Duoduo looked at the Tianjin Wei in the distance from afar, and finally the soldiers came to the city, and Duoduo prepared to attack.
A Tartar general next to him said: "Master, look at the city wall in the distance, Zhang Feng's people have all gone up to the city wall to defend the city." ”
A fierce glint flashed in Duoduo's eyes, and he waved his big hand and said, "Send the order to go down and prepare to attack, and in addition, pull up our red-coated cannons, spread them outside the city, and bombard the city for me." ”
"Master, this siege is not the old rule, first send those troops to go up and try it first, and then our warriors will go up again."
Duoduo nodded, "The old rule, those cannon fodder go first, in addition, the musket battalion is ready, after the Tianjin Acropolis is broken, the musket battalion will go up and shoot Zhang Feng's men and horses for me." ”
This time, Duoduo led 70,000 or 80,000 troops, although a large part of them were surrendered troops with relatively low combat effectiveness, and the other part was Mongolian cavalry, but all the white flags were dispatched, and there were three musket battalions and two artillery battalions, Duoduo was full of confidence.
Dorgon also made a bloody investment, a total of five musket battalions, and gave three musket battalions to Duoduo in one go, a total of four artillery battalions, and also gave two to Duoduo.
With three musket battalions in hand, two artillery battalions, and tens of thousands of his own army, Duoduo prepared to attack the city. It didn't take long for the Tartars to get busy.
Obviously, the cannon fodder for the siege is still those surrendered troops, and it can be seen from the position that about thousands of surrendered troops are in the foremost position, only about three or four hundred meters away from the Tianjin Guards.
These surrenderers are not fools, knowing that the Tartars have used themselves as cannon fodder and let themselves be sent to death first, some of the surrendered soldiers are already talking about it.
"These Tartars are so bad, it's us who take the lead."
"Be quiet, don't let them hear."
"What are you afraid of, it's a death anyway, I'm not afraid, I really regret it, I shouldn't have surrendered in the first place. Hey......"
“……”
Many soldiers were complaining, and some even sighed, if it weren't for the large number of Tartars behind, it is estimated that these soldiers might mutiny, or even turn around.
