There are several major events in the history of military warfare in the first two years, the end of the Songjin War in the first half of the year is one, and there is another thing that the Qing army after the end of the Songjin War, but also in order to digest the fruits of victory in the same year and into the Central Plains, because the military power of the Ming Dynasty in the first half of the year was slaughtered a piece of meat, the military harassment of the Qing army is unstoppable.

The Qing army's intention to invade the Central Plains this time was very similar to that of previous years, which was nothing more than to loot the population and various materials, and by the way, put some blood on the Ming Dynasty, and if it went well, then slaughter the city and set fire to it by the way. For the wreak havoc of the Qing army on the land of the Central Plains, the Ming Dynasty could only watch and did nothing.

However, what is unexpected is that there was a small episode in this invasion, and this episode is closely related to Deng Shifeng's little butterfly......

……………………

Somewhere in Hebei, here is only one step away from the capital, so there are a large number of Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers stationed in this area to defend the capital, the Qing army was weak in the early years, coupled with the characteristics of its cavalry tactics, the Qing army rarely attacked the city but used its advantage in mobility to bypass the military points, and directly attacked the weak defense of the countryside, where livestock and population and all kinds of materials are lacking in them.

In the process of plundering in this way, the strength of the Qing army is gradually growing, and the Ming Dynasty is becoming weaker and weaker. And by this time, the officers and generals of the Ming Dynasty were basically beaten to the point of losing confidence, and as long as they did not attack their own cities when the Qing army looted, everything would be fine, as for what to rescue the people below...... When did these rulers treat the people as their people...... It is precisely because of this that every time the Qing army entered the customs and invaded the Central Plains, it could march in long queues of all kinds of materials, population, and livestock, and walk from outside various cities to show off their might......

Therefore, the invasion of the Qing army is also very smooth as always, after looting a large number of people and materials, when the Qing army of the invasion is ready to collect the troops, perhaps it is the victory of the Songjin Battle not long ago that makes these Qing troops get carried away, or they want to stimulate the Chongzhen Emperor in Yanjing City, the Qing army that returned with all kinds of trophies is to drive the team to choose to walk next to the capital, which is what happened later......

"These Han dogs, they dare to send troops out, they are really looking for death!!"

Standing not far from the front is more than 3,000 Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers, these officers and soldiers are no different from other Ming Dynasty troops, shabby military uniforms and low morale, as well as more decent shield arrays and spear formations pose a field posture, seeing this scene made the Qing army unhappy, and immediately someone scolded the above sentence.

As mentioned earlier, the Qing army actually rarely fought head-to-head battles with the Ming army before this, and they were all kite-like distant projectiles to grind out the Ming Dynasty infantry with poor mobility, but until now, the Qing army has accumulated a lot of experience and confidence in this kind of frontal combat, especially because of its strong mobility, they often seize the fatigue of the Ming army or the instability of the formation, and even take advantage of the chaos in the encounter to achieve the greatest results. And in the later stage, it was even more so how to fight, coupled with the low morale of the Ming army, many times they surrendered directly without even fighting.

For this reason, when they saw this Ming Dynasty army of more than 3,000 people put on a fighting posture, the provocative fighting spirit shown by the other party angered these Qing troops, and they threw down their trophies and began to quickly assemble from the long line, ready to teach these Ming officers and soldiers in front of them who did not know whether they were alive or dead, and at the same time they could cut off some more heads and go back to receive the reward......

The assembly of the Qing soldiers is still very fast, it didn't take a while, hundreds of Qing soldiers were assembled, although there were still people behind who were rushing forward to assemble, but at this moment a Jia Lama who had already been unable to hold back rushed up with his own people first, the first half of the Songjin War he failed to catch up for some reasons and missed how much he lost how many battles, looking at those Armor Lama with his own flag one by one harvest piled up into a hill, he had already blushed, now there is such an opportunity, how can he not be moved......

But fortunately, this Jia La was not carried away by the battle exploits, and he also knew very well that he took the more than 300 people who had just gathered to go up, that is, to send heads to the Ming army, and he whistled to let his house slaves and other cavalry disperse, preparing to use the old tactics of kite flying to slowly drain the morale and physical strength of these Ming troops.

However, when Jiala and his men ran up, they found that these Ming troops had come earlier than themselves, so they occupied a higher position, and because of the direction of the wind, there were too many obstacles in the upwind place that were not conducive to firing bows and arrows, and they could only launch long-range attacks from crosswinds or upwinds, and the distance should be close to a position of about one hundred and twenty paces.

If the first mistake of this Jiala was to rush out without waiting for more people to gather, then the second mistake he made was to let his men not only get closer, but also rush to a position only seventy paces away from the Ming army. Of course, it was not all his fault that this Jia Lama dared to do this, after all, everyone saw that the more than 3,000 Ming troops did not carry any heavy weapons such as cannons, and only about 700 or 800 soldiers did not use cold weapons but held a strange bird gun in both hands. Seeing these birds, this Jia Lama and other Qing soldiers laughed, the firearms of the Ming Dynasty made many Ming Dynasty soldiers suffer, so that the current army has a disguised murder idea of using firearms, and this person is equipped with a bird gun...... The Ming army generals in front estimated that their brains were either kicked by a donkey or caught by the door panel......

This distance of seventy steps is very delicate, it is not only the best range to throw arrows in this kind of wind, but also just to avoid the Ming army's guns, although the mainstream bird guns equipped by the Ming army can hit farther, but more than seventy paces This distance has been fluttering, can hit...... Definitely not a gun aimed at the person concerned! It is said that these Qing soldiers look down on birds and firearms, but let them use their bodies to experience the feeling of being hit...... Nobody wants to go!

It's just that this Jiala is destined to become a tragic figure, because he doesn't know that the weapon he has to face is not the currently popular arquebus, nor the flintlock pistol that has just been developed in the West for many years, but the breech-loading rifled gun that is two hundred years ahead of this era!

When Jia Lama and his cavalry did not throw a few rounds of arrows before they were hit by a rain of guns, the results of this batch of bullets were not great, only directly hit a Qing cavalry and let it fall off the horse with a scream, in addition to him, two horses were also hit, the painful war horse screamed, one of the riders saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly controlled the horse to not let himself fall, and the other was very unfortunate to fall to the ground with the horse......

And before Jiala and the others could react to why this was happening, the second row of bullets swept over, this time the results were more than the last time, several horses and several people were shot, and when Jiala felt that something was wrong, the third batch of bullets came one after another......

In fact, the Ming army knew how to use the three-stage attack a long time ago, and the leading generals of this Ming army fully read the instructions written by Zhong Shuqing: three teams in line, gradually strike in unison, up and down with a hundred steps, aiming at the head and hitting the chest, like rain and dense...... The meaning is that it is still the same three-stage salvo, although it can't explain the parabola clearly, but at least it shows that aiming at the head can hit the chest, aiming at the chest and hitting the stomach, and the crosshair of the Xia rifle is easy to learn (the modified sight, no ruler, only a piece of convex iron to speed up the modification, and can also do a simple three-point line), and the ammunition will form a dense rain of bullets like raindrops under the fire of the platoon gun.

"Retreat!! Exit and go!! ”

After three platoon shots, this Jia La was shocked to find that his men had been shot down more than a dozen people and horses, thanks to the fact that the Ming army on the opposite side was too close in formation and was a mixture of cold weapons and hot weapons could not be placed in the formation, plus the troops were scattered in several directions, otherwise these hundreds of soldiers would all collectively concentrate fire in three stages...... Suddenly, he suffered such a big loss, which made this Jia Lama angry, but fortunately, he didn't have the impulsive order to attack, otherwise all these people he brought would probably have to kneel here!

It's just that the subordinates at the scene seemed to be a little stunned by the firearms of the Ming army, and the neighing of people made the scene chaotic, causing the order of this Jia Lama to be passed on for a while, and at this time, ...... The Ming soldiers, who had already reloaded their ammunition, pulled the trigger again in batches......

When this Ala, wearing the rest of his men and horses, withdrew out of the range of the opponent's fire, more than twenty horses and seven or eight corpses had already been laid on the flat ground where they had retreated by the route of their attack and the way they had withdrawn.

The defeat of this Jiala made the remaining Qing soldiers who watched the battle a burst of surprise, when did the Ming Dynasty have such sharp firearms?! It's only been a long time, just watching the rows of smoke coming out on the opposite side, these Qing soldiers have been put down so much with people and horses?! And judging from the rapid fire of the opponent's reloading of the medicine, this firearm is simply an existence against the sky!!

If the Qing soldiers on the scene were a little more sober, they would pay attention to the new weapons and new tactics that suddenly appeared in front of them, but it was precisely because of the just-concluded Songjin Battle that the Qing soldiers were a little carried away by the victory, and soon after the Jia Lama returned, the second attack team was formed, ready to go up to bloodbath those Han officers and soldiers who did not know the height of the sky......
