"Boom"

The shelling continued, and countless projectiles flew over the heads of the sergeants who were desperately paddling and flew towards the beach, although these iron projectiles fell on the soft beach, most of the impact was mostly offset by the soft beach, so there were not many people who were directly killed by the projectiles, but they couldn't stand the fear of others. It is true that the Qing soldiers have always been brave, but no matter how fierce the warriors are, they will never test the hardness of their heads with steel, and under the threat of flying iron pills everywhere, the Qing soldiers hurriedly retreated more than a mile.

"Hurry up and row!" On the twenty small boats rushing to the beach, Da Zhuang commanded the sailors while cheering up the sergeants on the ship who were preparing to land, "The Tartars are on the shore, what we have to do is to rush ashore and stand firm, so that the follow-up brothers can go ashore safely." ”

The big boat was not far from the beach, and the distance of half a mile was soon approached to the shore by the desperate rowing of the sailors and soldiers on the small boat, and suddenly Da Zhuang felt that the projectile that was still flying overhead just now suddenly stopped, and he knew that it was the gunners on the ship who stopped the shelling for fear of accidentally injuring their own people.

But he also understood that once the shelling stopped, the retreating Qing soldiers would go to the beach again to prevent their own landing, so his speed became the key.

"Brothers, all move, you must get ashore before the Tartars." After Da Zhuang finished speaking, he picked up an oar from his feet and rowed desperately, and the rest of the soldiers did the same, and also picked up the oars from their feet and rowed.

The principle of the strength of more people was experienced at this moment, and after adding the vitality of twenty more people, the speed of the small boat really increased geometrically, and the small boat rushed to the shore like an arrow from the string.

In fact, the abrupt shelling not only made Da Zhuang aware of the crisis, but also made the Tartars who were desperately retreating also see the opportunity, and those Niu Lu saw that after the shelling stopped, they immediately relied on their intuition about the war, and immediately realized that those Ming troops would definitely not shoot again in order not to accidentally hurt their own people. Therefore, they immediately urged their soldiers to turn back and collectively kill the horses and pistols towards the beach.

Originally, it should be a good place for cavalry to gallop on the open beach, but the heavens are fair, if the soft beach just now is certainly limited to the Ming army's artillery fire, but it also imprisons the gallop of the Qing soldiers' war horses, when the four hooves of the war horses are deeply immersed in those sands, no matter how those Qing soldiers whip the war horses under their crotches, the speed of these war horses cannot be raised.

At this time, Pang Gang standing on the bow of the ship held a clairvoyant mirror and kept staring ahead, although now Pang Gang has the advantage of the sailors, and the landing site can be chosen at will, even if the Qing soldiers have more people, it is impossible to fortify everywhere, but Incheon is only twenty-eight kilometers away from Namhansan Fortress, which makes it the first choice for landing sites. Pang Gang wanted to quickly arrive at the mountain fortress of Namhan to rescue the Joseon royal family, and Incheon became an unavoidable hurdle.

Thinking about MacArthur, who commanded the Inchon landing in later generations, Pang Gang's heart couldn't help but feel a little proud at this moment, but he didn't expect that the Inchon landing commanded by his brother was nearly 400 years earlier than Lao Mai.

While Pang Gang was thinking about it, those small boats were already docking on the beach one after another. At this time, the Qing soldiers were still desperately rushing towards Da Zhuang on the beach.

"Hurry up and everyone spread out in battle formation, quickly reload the bird!" Da Zhuang jumped off the boat and ran desperately to the beach, panting he didn't have time to catch his breath before giving orders to the sergeants, but these sergeants can be regarded as the elite who followed Pang Gang through several major battles, after getting off the boat, they quickly and automatically lined up in three rows without Da Zhuang's command, and immediately took out the projectile from the ammunition bag wrapped in tarpaulin around his waist and began to load.

After Pang Gang cashed out the Minnie gun, another weapon that changed the shape of war, the conical bottom expansion bullet (Mini bullet), finally appeared on the battlefield two hundred years ahead of schedule.

This kind of bullet with a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the chamber is very easy to load, and its appearance also greatly makes up for the weakness of the front-loading rifled gun with difficulty in loading ammunition and low firing efficiency. A small hole was artificially dug at the bottom of its warhead, and when fired, it was ignited to inflate the warhead and fit the chamber closely, and under the pressure of rifling, the warhead could rotate out at high speed, and the accuracy of hitting was greatly improved.

The more than 100 sergeants who went ashore first quickly loaded their ammunition, put their guns on their shoulders and looked straight ahead, calmly waiting for the officer's order.

Seeing that the Qing soldiers who were desperately beating horses and galloping in front of them were already three hundred steps away from their own side, Da Zhuang took a deep breath and ordered loudly: "Ready, aim, fire!" ”

"Bumper bumper" A gunshot rang out, and bursts of white mist drifted on the beach.

When the gunshots were heard, the Qing army, who were fighting their horses and charging forward desperately, was taken aback, followed by a burst of laughter.

"Hahaha, these Ming soldiers were stupid, they were in a hurry to shoot when they couldn't even see the figure clearly at such a distance, they thought they were holding a red-clothed cannon in their hands."

It is not surprising that the Qing soldiers despised the Ming army, the Manchurians admired personal bravery and skillful archery and horse archery, and they had always looked down on the firearms of the Ming army. For them, who had never seen the powerful firearms of the Qingzhou army led by Pang Gang, they did not believe that they could be injured by firearms at a distance of 300 steps.

But the cruel truth soon educated them, and after the flash of fire in front of them, the more than twenty Qing soldiers who had been galloping in front fell from their horses as if they had been hit by the oncoming iron fist.

"What is this, how can it hit so far." A Niu Lu, who was supervising the battle in the back, looked at the dozens of cavalrymen who fell in front of him in horror and asked in horror.

As soon as the words ended, another burst of gunfire rang out, and with the gunshots, more than a dozen cavalrymen fell off their horses.

"Well done, these birds are fucking good." Although this batch of newly equipped firearms has been named Mini Rifles by Pang Gang, the old people are still used to calling it Bird Gun by their surname. Seeing that the newly equipped Minnie gun had achieved such great results in the first time in actual combat, Da Zhuang couldn't help but be happy in his heart.

While ordering the sergeants to continue shooting, he ordered the sergeants who came down from the boat one after another to join the queue, and as the number of disembarking sergeants continued to increase, the fire on the beach gradually intensified, so that the casualties of the Qing army's elite cavalry were even greater.

Because the soft sand on the beach hindered the speed of the Qing soldiers, by the time the Qing soldiers rushed to a hundred paces, their casualties had exceeded more than 200 people.

"Hurry, hurry up, rush up and those Ming troops will be finished."

Although the losses were heavy, with the experience of fighting with the Ming army, the Qing soldiers always believed that as long as the invincible iron cavalry of the Qing Dynasty rushed in front of the Ming army, no matter how strong the Ming army was, it would collapse immediately.

Unfortunately, they were still wrong, and when they finally rushed to seventy or eighty paces in front of the Ming army, they were already facing four hundred assembled Ming riflemen.

"Put!"

With a loud roar, another thick white mist sounded, this time more than a hundred Minnie guns fired in unison, and more than a hundred projectiles flew out of the muzzle of the guns in the breech of the rifling guide inside, almost rolling in a straight line and flying forward.

"Puff puff" This is the sound of the projectile hitting the Qing soldier**, a Qing soldier was hit by an increasingly accurate projectile with a full of helplessness and fell off the horse.

After another three rounds of volleys, there were only more than thirty of the 500 elite horsemen who were originally fully loaded when they first launched the attack, including the Niu Lu who originally rushed to the end.

Looking at the horses and dead bodies that fell to the ground around him, Niu Lu, who had been overwhelmed by his blood, was completely frightened, and looked at the scattered companions around him, he knew that if he continued to attack, he could only deliver food with these few dozens of horses. But if he turned around and ran away now, it would be too late, and for a while he was in a dilemma.

The long-lost platoon gun rang out again, and the Niu Lu, who was in a dilemma, only felt a sharp pain in his heart, and when he looked down, there was a big hole in his chest at some point, and blood gushed out like a spring, and he slowly slid off the horse

Seeing that the last Qing soldier fell in front of the battle, a hundred households who had risen up ran over and asked Da Zhuang for instructions: "Lord Huang, the Tartar cavalry has been wiped out, but there are still hundreds of Tartar foot soldiers in front, shall we continue to advance?" ”

Da Zhuang shook his head, "No, our task is to establish a consolidation point on the beachhead to cover the safe landing of the follow-up men and horses, and other things can be put aside, and I will order everyone to start guarding." ”

"Yes!"

With Da Zhuang's order, the 400 riflemen who had landed in advance scattered in all directions and stood guard around with small flags as units.

Da Zhuang's actions were all seen by Pang Gang, who was watching the battle with a clairvoyant mirror on the ship, and he nodded with satisfaction when he saw that Da Zhuang En resisted the temptation of hundreds of Qing soldiers in front of the battle and first implemented a guard on the beach.

It seems that under his own edification and cultivation, Da Zhuang, who was originally surnamed Ge and Zhuang, has also begun to have the concept of the overall situation, which is gratifying and worthy of celebration. Pang Gang knew very well that with the expansion of his own strength, the number of troops increased, and the phenomenon of having to do everything himself became more and more undesirable, and the matter of cultivating generals who could take charge of themselves became more and more urgent.

Now seeing that the subordinates who are most loyal to him can mature step by step, Pang Gang's heart is also happy. He looked back at the subordinates surrounding him and said with a faint smile: "Everyone, Deputy Huang Qianhu has opened the passage for us, now let's hurry up and get off the boat!" ”

Everyone agreed and began to prepare
