Chapter 204: Into the City

"Kill!" A loud roar came out of Amin's throat, the rumbling of horses' hooves began to sound again, and the sight of thousands of cavalry starting to charge was amazing, and the billowing dust and smoke rose in the wasteland with the cavalry's hooves, accompanied by the earth-shattering shouts and killing, rushing towards the Ming army.

Such a fierce charge was enough to frighten some timid people, and Li Yuan, who was standing next to the rifleman, kept estimating the distance of the Qing soldiers, and when he estimated that he had reached two hundred and fifty steps, he shouted, "Fire!" ”

"Bang Bang Bang"

The sound of a thousand rifles firing was amazing, accompanied by white smoke rising, Amin who was watching the battle from behind could no longer see the formation of the Ming army in front of him, and he thought a little strangely after thinking of the gunshot: "Could it be that the Ming army is so arrogant, thinking that it can cause damage to our army within two hundred and fifty steps?" ”

As the first row of guns rang out, many of the cavalrymen who were maneuvering at high speed suddenly shook or twisted their bodies and quickly fell off their horses, and were immediately trampled into pulp by their companions who came from behind.

"What, the Ming army can really fight so far?" Amin, who was supervising the battle in the back, could see clearly that after the Ming army opened fire, the cavalry that rushed to the front suddenly fell down, and then was trampled into a pulp by the cavalry behind.

Although many subordinates had reported to him the power of the Ming army's firearms, in Amin's heart, he still believed that only mounted archery was the foundation of a warrior, and only cowardly people would rely on the power of firearms to kill. This belief had been in his heart for decades, and it was only today that he realized that he might be wrong, and that firearms were not as useless as he thought.

"Is it true that the minions are telling us? The Ming army is so sharp! The frightened Amin couldn't help but scream, but then he breathed a sigh of relief, "But fortunately, the Ming army's firearms still need to be prepared for a long time after a shot, as long as it takes a cup of tea, when those warriors rush to the front of the Ming army, they can tear those cowards who can only release cold arrows to pieces, not good!" ”

"Bang Bang Bang"

Just as Amin finished speaking, there was another burst of gunfire, and the Qing army that was galloping on their horses was in a big mess, and hundreds of cavalry running in front fell off their horses, and Amin couldn't sit still anymore, he immediately ordered: "Blow the trumpet, order them to disperse, all disperse, and never get close together." ”

"Woo woo"

The desolate horn sounded again, and the cavalrymen who were still galloping quickly dispersed, and the experienced ones automatically lowered their bodies without being commanded, hiding on the back of their horses, and just kept whipping the horse's buttocks with the whips in their hands, at this time they had only one thought, that is, to rush to the front of those Ming troops as soon as possible and break those hateful Ming troops into pieces.

Pang Gang, who was standing outside the west gate, had already moved all the 1,000 riflemen to the left side, and the 2,000 riflemen were divided into two rows to continuously shoot at the rushing Qing army, and at this time, the baggage soldiers had only transported half of the supplies into the city, and there were more than 100 carts waiting to enter the city outside the west gate.

"We must not let those Qing troops rush in." Pang Gang knew very well that if the Qing army was allowed to rush in, he would be in danger of being annihilated.

"Increase the speed of shooting, and we must not let the Qing army rush over!" Pang Gang was also anxious, he called Wang Zhi, the leader of his cavalry, and ordered: "Later, if the Qing army rushes into a distance of fifty steps from us, you will immediately lead the cavalry to attack, and you must block the Tartars, otherwise we will be all finished!" ”

Wang Zhi also knew the urgency of the matter, and said with a solemn expression: "Don't worry, as long as you still have a breath of humiliation, you will never let the Tartars rush into our army's main formation." ”

After instructing Wang Zhi, Pang Gang ordered 500 sword and shield soldiers to protect the right flank exposed after the cavalry was transferred, and then mobilized 500 pikemen behind the riflemen as the last line of defense, and he also picked up the heavy shield and the mace weighing dozens of pounds.

"Quick, quick, speed up the shooting!" Seeing the rumbling sound of horses' hooves constantly rushing, the figures of the Qing soldiers kept approaching, and Li Yuan, who was standing in the front row, already had a cold sweat on his forehead, if the cavalry rushed in, they would definitely die.

"Shoot the horse, shoot the horse quickly, the goal of the horse is the biggest!" Da Zhuang, who was standing in the second row, also gave orders loudly on the side.

At the moment of life and death, all the riflemen were shooting at a speed beyond the usual rate, and seeing the cavalry getting closer and closer, their pressure was increasing.

"Bump!"

Suddenly, there was a popping sound among the first row of riflemen, and one of the riflemen fell to the ground with a loud scream covering his face, and his Minnie fell to the ground, the barrel of which was broken in two.

Li Yuan walked over and picked up the rifle with a calm face, his face suddenly changed, and he turned to the pikemen behind him and shouted: "You stupid, who asked you to stuff two parts of ammunition into the gun, you deserve to be killed!" ”

It turned out that the rifleman was so nervous that he stuffed two parts of ammunition into the gun in a row, and the rifle blew up, not to mention, and blew up half of his face.

Li Yuan waved his hand and called two pikemen to carry the rifleman down, and scolded loudly: "If Lao Tzu sees that there is still any stupid person who dares to stuff two parts of ammunition into the gun, Lao Tzu will definitely let him charge at the Tartar with a bird gun, and if he wants to die, he must choose a better way to die, and let his gun blow up to death!" Shoot now, the faster the better! ”

"Bang Bang Bang" thanks to the example of the hapless rifleman, there was no one who put two parts of ammunition in the chamber of the gun again.

The continuous sound of gunfire couldn't help but shake everyone's hearts, and as the Qing cavalry approached, the riflemen's movements became more and more urgent.

During this period, the two thousand riflemen of the Ming army have fired seven or eight rounds of guns in a row, and no less than two or three thousand elite horsemen have fallen in front of them, and the heavy losses made Amin in the back almost vomit blood.

"Spread out, you idiots, spread me out more!"

Seeing that the five thousand elite cavalry who launched the charge had not yet rushed to the Ming army, more than half of them were reimbursed, and Amin, who was out of breath in his chest, almost fainted.

"I can't go on like this, hurry up and blow the trumpet and order the warriors to surround those Ming troops and kill them with a salvo of siege fire!"

After hearing the sound of the horn, the Qing soldiers, who had suffered heavy losses, immediately changed the routine of the attack, and the remaining elite cavalry immediately scattered and rushed towards the surroundings of the Ming army.

Just as Da Zhuang and Li Yuan were shooting nervously with the riflemen, they suddenly found that the Qing soldiers in front of them suddenly decreased, and then an exclamation came from nearby, "Oh no, the Tartars are coming towards our flank." ”

The movement of the Qing soldiers was soon discovered by Pang Gang, in order to prevent the Qing soldiers from breaking through their own formation, he immediately ordered the pikemen to rush to the flank and erect a forest of guns, and soon, a part of the Qing soldiers had already ridden their horses to the rear of the rear team fifty paces away, and their skillful bows and arrows shot out a round of arrows.

"Whoosh"

There was a scream that broke through the air, and dozens of pikemen suddenly fell to the ground, and the arrows of the Qing soldiers were three inches long, heavy and sharp, and it was extremely difficult to survive after being shot into the human body.

"Ahh

There were constant screams from pikemen after being hit by arrows, and Pang Gang, who was standing in the middle of the formation, saw that his eyes were almost on fire.

He said loudly: "Wang Zhi, Wang Zhi, the cavalry under your command is all fucking dead, and now you can't come and kill those dog offals for me!" ”

When Pang Gang was scolding his mother, there was a "bang bang" sound in front of him, and Da Zhuang, who was close to the rear wing, rushed over, and a row of guns flashed, and dozens of Qing soldiers were shot down and dismounted. At this distance, the riflemen made the most of the accuracy of the Mini gun, and in their not dense but extremely accurate shots, dozens of Qing soldiers who came around to sneak up on the attack fell to the ground.

"Whoosh"

There was another rain of arrows, and more than a dozen riflemen also fell to the ground with arrows, but at a distance of forty or fifty paces, the bows and arrows of the Qing soldiers had the upper hand, and they saw that they shot another arrow after shooting an arrow, and the arrows almost did not stop, and the arrows were endless, fast and accurate, which could be called vicious and abnormal.

"Whoosh swish,

The sound of arrows breaking through the air, the sound of gunfire, the screams of the sergeants after being hit by the arrows, and the sound of the Qing soldiers falling to the ground after being hit made up a tragic music.

"Sword and shield man, quickly fill the position, the riflemen hurry up here to support!"

After being surrounded by nearly 2,000 Qing soldiers, the distance between the two sides was already very close, but the Qing soldiers did not rush in, but played the trick of firing a salvo for the battalion.

"Erbeile, why don't you order our warriors to rush into the camp of the Ming army and kill them all, isn't it more painful?" A general of the Qing army asked Amin who was watching the battle from a distance.

Amin replied impatiently, "Idiot, don't you see that they still have nearly a thousand cavalry undispatched? I'm sure that if we start trying to storm their camp, those cavalry will come out and play with us, and only by firing a salvo can we inflict heavy damage on this Ming army. You hurry up and order Shuotuo to stop attacking the south gate, and hurry up with people to come to the west gate to support, especially the cavalry, to arrive as soon as possible! ”

"Scum!"

This general hurriedly sent someone to quickly whip his horse and run into the distance!

Watching the casualties of the riflemen gradually increase, if the Qing soldiers are dragged here, it will be a big trouble. At this time, Pang Gang was anxious, he turned around and said in a deep voice to a personal soldier beside him: "You go and ask Meng Qing when those baggage can enter the city." ”

The soldier hurriedly rode into the city to inquire, and only came back after a while to report: "My lord, the official Meng said that the baggage has entered the city, and you can enter the city now." ”

Pang Gang's spirit perked up after hearing this, "Okay, immediately order the pikemen and sword and shield soldiers to enter the city, then the riflemen, and the cavalry!" ”

"Yes!"
