Yang Cai placed a guard brigade of nearly 5,000 people in front of the formation to form a powerful fireline. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The members of the Guard Brigade are all composed of the most elite soldiers selected from the Zheng Family Army, all of whom have studied at the Military Academy and are proficient in the tactical coordination of later generations.

The Guards Brigade refers to the skirmish line tactics and consists of three to five soldiers in a combat group. Throw the back of his body to the ground, piling up an improvised obstacle.

The soldiers of the Guards Brigade were lying on their stomachs or crouching, straightening their muskets and aiming at the enemy. The front and rear rows formed three continuous W-shaped lines of fire.

Cross-fire from left to right maximizes the range of the musketeer, enveloping all enemy forces.

The 29th and 30th Divisions lined up on both sides of the formation, defending the two flanks of the Guard Brigade.

To be on the safe side, Yang asked the 31st Division to postpone the earthworks.

Li Yishan, commander of the 31st Division, heard that the task of his division headquarters was to dig a pit, and immediately quit.

Li Yishan shouted at Yang Cai, "The people's guard brigade is the heart and soul of the general, he is on the front line, Lao Tzu has nothing to fuck about!" Why can the 29th and 30th divisions attack, and Lao Tzu will fucking dig tunnels. It's really a fucking 31st division of the old man is scrap. Army commander, our 31st Division is a top one, and it can fight and resist. Not to mention the 29th and 30th Divisions, even if it is against the Guard Brigade, our 31st Division will definitely not be intimidated. Commander, you will let our 31st Division also go to the front line, and I promise that I will definitely cut off the head of the opposing commander and give you a night pot! ”

Yang Cai glared at Li Yishan angrily and shouted, "What are you doing!" Do! Let me tell you Li Yishan, you fucking don't complain in front of Lao Tzu. A soldier's vocation is to obey orders! Lao Tzu asked you to dig a pit, and you fucking dug a pit for Lao Tzu obediently. Dig a foot less, and I'll shoot you! Hear no! ”

Seeing that the army commander was angry, Li Yishan suddenly shrank his neck and shouted, "Yes, I guarantee to complete the task!" ”

Seeing that the army commander did not agree, Li Yishan had no choice but to lead the 31st Division to dig hard and dig pits.

The soldiers of the 31st Division were very upset when they heard the order, but the order was like a mountain.

They still endured their dissatisfaction, pulled out their sapper shovels, and dug tunnels.

Tens of thousands of people were digging the earth, and for a time there was dust on the Zheng family's army.

Tuo Tamu, who was riding on horseback, saw it and laughed.

He shouted, "Those timid Han Chinese were so frightened that they wanted to dig a hole and run away when they saw us Mongol warriors. Hahaha, kill them, cut off their heads, and let them see the bravery of the immortal descendants! ”

Totamu led more than 30,000 Mongolian light cavalry to launch a brave charge against Zheng's army.

The Mongolian light cavalry galloped on horseback, and soon rushed to a distance of only two or three hundred meters from Zheng's army.

Yang Cai shouted, "Fire!" ”

There was a bang

A series of bean-like sounds rang out one after another, and the gunshots were so dense that it made people think that someone had lit 20,000 firecrackers, crackling.

Immediately after that, the originally dense conical array arrows of the Mongolian light cavalry began to rise into the air, splashing large pieces of blood on their bodies, and then fell heavily to the ground, never to get up again.

Guarded by personal guards, Totamu was unharmed. Watching his own guards fall to the ground.

Totamu couldn't believe that the enemy's fire system could fight so far, wasn't it a burning stick, that is, a distance of less than a hundred meters, to threaten?

How can you kill people two hundred meters away!

Before Totamu could react, Zheng Jiajun's musketeers fired a shot without pause, and they followed the process that they had practiced countless times in their usual training.

Pull the bolt and remove the paper fragments.

Take out a paper shell bullet from the pocket next to it and stuff it into the chamber, push the chamber, raise the gun, aim at the enemy, and shoot.

Paper shell bullets!

In the early days, gunpowder was generally added directly from the muzzle and then loaded into the warhead, which was slow to operate and the amount of charge was uncertain each time, so the firing effect was also unstable.

In order to speed up the loading speed, after two years of research and development, Nanjing Gewu University and scholars from Xiamen Gewu University finally succeeded in making paper shell gun bullets.

Wrap the primer, propellant, and warhead together in kraft paper.

The Guard Brigade was the first unit in the Zheng Army's army to be equipped with this new weapon.

It is precisely because of such killing weapons that Zheng Chenggong is so confident that he can completely defeat the Qing army today and settle the country in one battle.

With the new ammunition, after training, ordinary soldiers can complete a shot in eight to ten seconds, and some can even complete it in about five seconds.

The Mongolian light cavalry, which had just escaped the first blow, had not yet had time to feel the luck of escaping death.

Immediately after that, the terrifying "bang" sound sounded again, and 5,000 muskets fired the bullets out with the fastest resistance speed.

In order to maximize the impact of the Mongol cavalry, they formed a dense cone.

The Zheng family musketeers didn't even need to aim, they shot at the crowd.

A gunshot rang out, and one person fell.

The continuous gunfire soon rang out again, and large swaths of blood splattered through the crowd, and the Mongol light cavalry fell in rows.

The rain of bullets caused the Mongol cavalry horses to rush back in terror, impulsing the infantry behind them, causing confusion and retreat.

Seeing that his men were so useless, Totamu retreated in a moment, and killed a dozen people with a red face in shame.

"Rush over, penetrate their weak direction, cover from behind, and victory belongs to the valiant Mongol warriors." Kill! ”

The Mongolian light cavalry launched a charge again, fearless in the face of the rain of bullets from the Zheng family's army, and attacked one by one. They fought desperately, holding spears, bows and arrows and shouting in unison to kill the enemy, and met the Zheng Jiajun with enthusiasm, trying to disrupt and break the battle formation of the Zheng Jiajun.

Dreadlessly, a part of the Mongol cavalry rushed to a distance of only forty or fifty meters from the guard brigade.

But in this short period of forty or fifty meters, the Mongolian cavalry did not cross it, and all of them fell in front of the firepower line of the guard brigade.

When the gunfire died down, and the last of the guards were dead, it was only then that Totamu suddenly woke up, grabbed his horse and looked around, and found that it was empty, and he was the only one standing.

Totamu looked around blankly, in front of him, behind him, on both sides, one by one, all of them were the corpses of Mongols.

Thirty thousand of the bravest Mongol warriors have now fallen here, and they have not even been able to touch the enemy's edge!

With a miserable howl like a wolf's howl, Totamu put his knife on his neck, and with a swing of it, he broke down and fell to the ground choked and died.

The battlefield fell silent for a moment.

Later, Chinese history recorded this war with great disparity.

In August of the 11th year of Yongli, the most elite guard brigade of the Zheng family army bravely resisted 30,000 fierce Mongolian cavalry with less than 5,000 men. The battle was very fierce, and the Mongol cavalry showed great bravery in the battle, braving the intensive artillery fire of the guard brigade, and repeatedly rushed to the guard brigade for heroic battles, but in the serious backwardness of equipment, the Mongol cavalry finally suffered a crushing defeat. According to the recollections of the soldiers who later cleaned up the battlefield, the Mongol cavalry invested about 30,000 cavalry at that time, and in addition to thousands of wounded soldiers, most of them were killed in battle. Zheng Jiajun's guard brigade killed 3 people and wounded 17 people, the 29th Division lost 2 people killed and 29 wounded! (To be continued.) )
