Chapter 464: Shoot Each Other

Limited by the lack of high-powered telescopes of later generations, it is still necessary to "climb high and look far" to command large-scale operations in this era, and because of the ultra-long range of the cannon, it is also the proper meaning to use a thick wooden fence to protect the position of the commander.

History always moves slowly, and what kind of era there is, what kind of tactics there are on the battlefield. If artillery had developed to the level of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, a mere ring of wooden fences and cliffs would not have been able to protect anything. Now in these years, the place where the tension is still very safe.

Zhang Li specially selected the so-called "engineer team" of 200 people from the auxiliary troops to solve the problem of building a temporary command post for the commander-in-chief. Historically, the Manchu Taizu "wild boar skin" Nuer Hachi, according to Yuan Dudu, was killed by his Hongyi cannon. With the large-scale popularization of hot weapons, perhaps just a small projectile can change the fate of a country or many countries - not only the example of wild boar skin, but also the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a bullet from a hot-blooded young man in Sarajevo at the beginning of the twentieth century, thus triggering the protracted First World War......

At this moment, Zhang Li was looking intently at the situation on the battlefield - the suffocating distance was finally getting closer and closer, and in an instant it was about a hundred steps -

This distance is exactly the range boundary of the flintlock gun!

"Woo Woo Woo-" A fierce sound of fire rang out, and it turned out to be the Han Army Flag of the Qing Army that fired first!

Dolgon was also keeping a close eye on the battle situation, and he couldn't help but have a smile on his face when he saw the still happy Han army flag firing first.

The flintlock pistol that this Westerner sold to "my Daqing" is a good one, haha! In the past, it was always the first hand of the Tuanshan Army, and I couldn't have dreamed of it. The Great Qing Kingdom has long since changed its shotguns - ah, no, changed its flintlock pistols!

Dolgon gritted his teeth and said, "Tension, I see how you are horizontal this time?!" Weren't you quite good at fighting before? It's nothing more than relying on the sharpness of Western firearms! Hmph—"

Soon, the Han flag Tartars fired a second salvo amid the shouts of the officers. The battlefield was immediately filled with gunsmoke, and the sound of crackling firecrackles was like stir-frying chestnuts.

The Tuanshan army charged at the front line, although it was a shield soldier. Unfortunately, the shield was not a steel plate, and there was also a gap between the advancing soldiers, so the Tuanshan army soon suffered casualties.

By the time the distance between the two sides reached about seventy paces, the Han army had already fired three volleys, but the Tuanshan army did not fire a single shot!

It's sixty paces......

Finally, the Tuanshan munitions gunner, who had been passively beaten, pulled the trigger!

"Bang Bang Bang Bang-" Countless muskets spewed fierce flames, as if they wanted to avenge the soldiers of the Tuanshan Army who had just fallen!

The three rounds of the two Tartars just now caused the Tuanshan army to suffer a loss of six or seven hundred people, of course, the wounded accounted for more than half. But this first salvo after the Tuanshan army was beaten. It was like cutting leeks, and directly knocked the first few columns of Shang Kexi's army to the ground!

After paying close attention to the tension of the battle situation, I knew that the losses of the Qing army in this wave were at least three or four times that of the Tuanshan army!

And the first time the Tuanshan Army fired, it was able to throw the results of the two Tartars' three fires out of eight streets, precisely because of the distance, the fatal distance.

The maximum firing range of the flintlock pistol is about 100 paces, but this is the maximum range, and the hit rate of about 100 paces basically belongs to the "hehe" level. The Tartars ended up with three volleys. Relying on the advantage of more people and more guns, it only caused the Tuanshan army to fall by six or seven hundred people - even more because of the long distance. The kinetic energy of the lead shot declined, but not many of the Tuanshan army were really killed.

However, after reaching a distance of sixty paces, the accuracy and strength of the flintlock pistol increased exponentially, so that as soon as the regimental army opened fire, it harvested almost all the soldiers in the first few columns of the opponent.

Shang Kexi was still chattering before, this Nima heard that the Tuanshan firearms were sharp, and he was still a little hesitant. Who would have thought that he had three rounds of shooting on his side. The Tuanshan Army was beaten and didn't fight back, didn't the Jurchen lords who fought against the Tuanshan Army before brag when they were defeated?

But he didn't last long after all, and as soon as the Tuanshan army fired, he harvested all the forwards of his Han army flag, which suddenly made Shang Kexi burst into a rage!

"Pass my general order to Lao Tzu to resist. Those who retreat will not be spared! Shang Kexi shouted hysterically, and the herald dared to answer, so he just ran to the formation to give the order.

Shang Kexi's eyes were red, but Dolgon in the Chinese army formation looked as usual. There is even a little complacent in his heart, this can be regarded as finally destroying hundreds of people in the Tuanshan army, isn't it?

It's still the old saying, there is no three-legged toad, and the two-legged Han dog waiting to get the "My Daqing" household registration is not how much or how much?

Dolgon secretly calculated: let the Han dogs bite each other, bite more to death, and wait for the king to release the killer weapon in his hand!

On the battlefield, the firecrackers soon stopped sounding, and the last forty or so steps of the two sides were all stepping on the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood. At the last distance of sixty to forty paces, the Tuanshan army fired three rounds of volleys, and the Qing army fired only one round, and the battle damage was obvious.

The tactics of shooting at 60 paces by the Tuanshan Army were also carefully scrutinized and trained in actual combat, and the greater lethality at close range was only one reason, and the more important reason was the smoke of gunpowder.

Judging by the results of the tests fired by the current flintlock pistol, it is possible to fire about four salvos from the time of firing to the time when it is completely enveloped in smoke and unable to shoot.

The Qing army fought three rounds from the first hundred paces, while the Tuanshan army began to shoot from sixty paces.

At this time, both sides of the battlefield were enveloped in thick gunsmoke, and the flintlock pistols were completely stopped. In fact, Zhang Li has thought countless times that if the gunpowder of the Tuanshan Army can be improved into smokeless gunpowder, then the combat effectiveness of the Tuanshan Army will be several steps higher. It's a pity that smokeless gunpowder involves modern chemistry, which is a scientific and technological gap that the Tuanshan Fort forces cannot overcome, and the tension has to be stopped.

"Boom, boom, boom-" When the distance between the Tuanshan Army and the Qing Army was about thirty paces, the soldiers at the front of the Tuanshan Army first threw out the palm thunder that they carried with them.

For a time, the two Tartars at the forefront of the Eight Banners of the Qing Army were blown up and howled wolf, countless stumps and broken arms flew around, and the soldiers in the first row suddenly suffered heavy casualties.

"Resist - rush up to Lao Tzu, don't go back!" Shang Kexi supervised the battle in front of the battle, and the sudden blow of the Tuanshan Army surprised him inexplicably-

Nima, didn't Kong Youde, that bastard, say that the Tuan Shan Army took twenty steps to throw the thunder in his palm? Why don't they follow the routine now, and they start throwing it in thirty steps? (To be continued.) )
