Chapter 381: The Qing Army is Defeated

Chongzhen's 19-style flintlock pistol is a hexagonal alloy barrel and the firing power of nitrocellulose fiber is two or three times that of black powder, so the effective wound of the bullet has already been more than 200 steps, and the most powerful heavy arrow of the Qing army is only 100 steps.

In addition, after the Chongzhen 19-style flintlock pistol shortened the interval between bullets from about thirty seconds to about ten seconds, under two rounds of continuous fire, even Bayala, the strongest of the Qing army, could not shoot the same number of bullets as the infantry of the Guards Army in the same time.

Therefore, soon these two thousand-strong Qing army iron cavalry were also directly defeated, and many of them were overturned before they could take arrows.

The Qing army's iron cavalry was greatly frightened and hurriedly retreated, and at this time, the cavalry of the Guards also killed, and the powerful cavalry of the Guards could directly cut these Qing army iron cavalry and horses in half with alloy steel knives.

Don't think that the current cavalry of the Guards is still a group of weak talents three years ago, at this time, after three years of training and high nutritional supplements, they are already a body of steel and iron bones, and they are stationed all year round in Shandong, a region dominated by pasta, without the warm fragrance of nephrite, and the blood of the Han family has long been restored after being hammered all year round.

With these Qing army iron cavalry that has been lost by wine in recent years, it is no longer inferior, and even more fierce, and most of them used to be scholars, and their intelligence is not bad, and they also pay attention to rules and regulations when fighting, not blindly brutal killing, killing people with strength or only attacking the key points, and all kinds of vicious and spicy tricks are available.

At this time, the infantry on the left and right sides of the Guards had already two rows of infantry behind them, and they rushed to the back of the remnants of the Qing army who wanted to retreat.

Another daily training subject of the Guards infantry is the fifty-mile cross-country training, so the running speed is never slow, and the endurance is also excellent, and soon two lines of defense were organized in the rear, and the dense guns and bullets shot all the remaining dozens of Qing army iron cavalry.

In addition, the two iron cavalry of the Qing army were all annihilated under the joint strangulation of the cavalry and infantry of the Guards, and only one or two horsemen escaped from the encirclement.

Tan Tai didn't know what was happening in front of his iron horse, at this time he was riding a war horse and following the infantry slowly, and at this time, the cavalry who had already run in chaos had informed Tan Tai of the news.

"What, all the cavalry was annihilated!"

Tan Tai may have been as surprised as the monk Lingqin in the late Qing Dynasty who led the iron cavalry to defeat the British army.

He did not know that at this time, the infantry of the Guards had begun to advance to the level of equipment from the middle of the eighteenth century to the beginning of the nineteenth century, and the tactics were no longer comparable to those of the Qing army, which was still a classical army.

At this time, Tan Tai was still very shocked, and he smashed the teacup with tears in his eyes.

The five thousand iron cavalry were completely annihilated in an instant, which he never imagined, and in his impression, the worst cavalry was only a big defeat and retreat, how could there be a reason to be completely annihilated.

Because the mobility of the cavalry is the greatest war advantage, even if the Ming infantry has sharp muskets, it is impossible to be so powerful.

But Tan Tai didn't know how powerful the muskets of the Ming Guards were.

If it weren't for Liu Qian's jealousy, of the 200,000 infantry under Tan Tai's command, 50,000 firearms and casualties would have been directly killed by six infantry battalions.

"The cavalry is gone, but fortunately, the infantry is not in turmoil, you see, whether we continue to march or retreat."

At this time, Tong Tulai asked Tan Tai from the side, and Bai Guangen, the commander of the green battalion and the deputy commander of the Han army with the yellow flag, and other Han generals of the Qing army looked at Tan Tai.

Tan Taiyi gritted his teeth: "I can't retreat anymore, I won't have the heart to retreat again, and I didn't go south this time, according to the regent's intentions, it was meant to attract the main force of the Ming army, even if it was defeated, it didn't matter!" He Ming army has firearms, and we also have firearms, and ordered the battalions to speed up! ”

The Qing army rushed like locusts.

From afar, it looks like a pack of wild dogs frantically slaughtering the Guards' camp.

But by this time, the artillery of the Guards had also begun to wield.

The deputy commander-in-chief of the corps has been waiting for this time to exert his might without artillery.

More than 900 artillery pieces were fired according to their different ranges, and the shells fired were whistling away at different positions in the charging Qing army, and in a moment, we saw that the Qing troops in the front, middle and rear of the Qing army camp were overturned or smashed into pieces.

Tan Tai personally led 5,000 cavalry to act as a supervising team to supervise the battle in the back, and those who retreated were immediately beheaded.

At that time, the Qing army could only grit its teeth and continue to rush.

However, by the time the Qing firearms arrived 200 paces before the Guards camp and were about to stop loading and firing, the six infantry battalions of the Guards had already fanned themselves up and fired their flintlock pistols first.

The Chongzhen Type 19 flintlock pistol can effectively kill and damage at more than 200 paces, and the reloading speed is very fast.

The Qing army was still dominated by arquebuses, and the Chongzhen 17-style flintlock pistol that imitated the Ming Dynasty was not fully equipped because of the non-standard system and frequent failure problems, and even the Chongzhen 17-style flintlock pistol was not as fast as the Chongzhen 19-style firing speed and the explosive power and range of the bullet.

Therefore, before the Qing army's firearms could shoot, tens of thousands of people were shot, and in a panic, these Qing troops began to run back frantically.

At that time, the cavalry of the Guards had already been killed.

The cavalry of the two battalions of the Guards totaled 10,000 iron cavalry, killing like a flood of fierce beasts, all with steel knives in their hands, crowned and long robes, like long dragons, and slashed and killed these chaotic Qing army firearms like chopping melons and vegetables.

As soon as the Qing army hurriedly lost their firearms and ran back desperately.

There are even those who don't even bother to wear hats and run back.

Many Qing firearms were abandoned before the first shot could be fired.

There are also some so-called elites who still want to resist, but they are directly split in half by the cavalry, and blood is spilled on the spot.

Rumble!

Rumble!

The 30,000 Guards infantry walked with heavy steps, picked up the Chongzhen 19-style flintlock pistol, and all of them shot out the bayonets on the guns.

Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

The sound of the Guards infantry shouting and killing shocked the Qing army even more fearlessly, and followed the cavalry of the Guards to harvest the surviving Qing officers and soldiers.

Even if some Qing officers and soldiers escaped the slashing of the cavalry of the Guards, they would be directly assassinated by the infantry.

Seeing this, Tan Tai immediately ordered the cavalry to rush forward and slash all the Qing troops who retreated in front of them.

At that time, the 300-step strip between the Ming army and the Qing army had become a Shura field, and it was all flesh and blood.

Tan Tai's side did not let the Qing army behind advance, but set up a gun array on the spot and aimed at the cavalry of the Guards.

The cavalry of the Guards did not advance further, and they naturally knew that the firearms were very good at firing three rounds.

However, by this time, the artillery of the Guards had been transported to the front, and nearly a thousand shells were whizzing.

Since all the grinding machines and tool steel knives of the Ming Ordnance, the production of bearings and gears is no longer a problem, and the artillery and gun carriage of the Ming Dynasty is also equipped with these structures, which can be easily turned and transported, and there is no need to worry about the gun carriage falling apart because there is no shock absorption system during transportation.

This is different from the Qing army's red-coated cannons, which had to be transported by a lot of mules, and even had to be re-mounted when they arrived on the battlefield, and the barrels were too large, and it took a long time just to reload gunpowder.

No further ado.

Nearly 1,000 shells directly tore several openings in Tan Tai's Qing army's firearms camp, and even Tan Tai himself was almost knocked to the ground by iron bullets.

The Qing army's firearms camp was in chaos.

At this moment, the cavalry of the Guards immediately killed, and the Qing army firearms immediately fled in a hurry again.
