Chapter 200: Reprimanding the Two Tartars
At that time, it was dusk, and seeing that the sun was about to set, Duoduo was deeply afraid that after sunset, Zhu Youzhen would immediately escape from Kaifeng City, so he couldn't care to consider whether the white-armored soldiers under his command would be closer to the range of the Ming army's firearms attack if they advanced another fifty steps at this time.
Zhu Youzhen smiled slyly at this time, what he wanted was this result, by ordering Gao Hongtu, who was wearing a dragon robe, to make a gesture of leaving the Sealed Tower, in order to achieve the goal of Duoduo being anxious to get rid of the Ming Emperor and losing his mind.
Seeing these brave Qing cavalry coming on horseback, and skillfully bending their bows and arrows on the fast galloping horses, Zhu Youzhen knew that his opportunity to defend the city had come.
Therefore, he couldn't help but lower his body and lean against the outer battlements, and asked Lu Daqi, the governor of Henan, who was also beside him:
"At present, in order to get rid of me, this Tartar has no time to wait for all the red-clothed cannons to arrive before attacking, and it is bound to risk advancing a certain distance, and then shoot heavy arrows to attack, and then the officials and people can take advantage of this to destroy the enemy and thwart part of the enemy's spirit, which is also the only little effort I can make for you when I come to Kaifeng City."
Lu Daqi poked his head out and looked at it, and said to Zhu Youzhen a little helplessly: "But Your Majesty, the Tartar stopped after advancing fifty steps, and kept moving, the range of our firearms is limited, at this distance, even if you shoot the Tartar, it is difficult to break the heavy armor of the Tartar, and these Tartar cavalry are all white-armored soldiers at a glance, they are the elite of the Tartar elite, the archery is superb, and can pull a strong bow and heavy arrows, and can also shoot continuously, its range is far above my firearms, although it shoots from the back, but I am afraid that it is not a little insufficient." ”
As soon as Lu Daqi finished speaking, he heard a snort, and a brocade-clothed guard next to Gao Hongtu was hit by an arrow, and even the whole person fell to the ground directly due to inertia, and a large amount of blood flowed from his chest.
Immediately afterward, heavy arrows kept whistling, and they concentrated on the place where Gao Hongtu stood.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Lu Daqi had instinctively hugged Zhu Youzhen under him at this time, afraid that a heavy arrow would be shot on Zhu Youzhen's body, and Zhu Youzhen directly pushed Lu Daqi away: "Send a few shield players to protect Gao Ge Lao, I don't have to worry about it here." ”
Zhu Youzhen came to Xia Yunyi as he spoke: "Can the muskets of the guards shoot these so-called Tartar white-armored soldiers?" ”
As soon as Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he saw that a heavy arrow happened to be nailed to the battlements beside him.
Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, so he had to bury his head lower, and the Jinyi guard on the side was also relieved, and almost didn't fly out directly to block the arrow for Zhu Youzhen, in that case, he would either be hit by the arrow or fall into the moat.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the range of the flintlock pistol can be hit at this time!"
Xia Yunyi nodded, and fired a shot at a white-armored soldier first, and the flintlock muskets of 6,000 people were fired, forming a dense firepower network in an instant, and the bullets shuttled between the rain of arrows shot by the white-armored soldiers, heading towards the heavy armor of the white-armored soldiers.
These white-armored soldiers are the elite of the elite of the Qing army, and there are only a dozen or at most dozens of them in a bull record, all of whom are Bayala who have killed countless enemies.
In the past battles between the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu, it was difficult to kill a white-armored soldier.
It is not only because these white-armored soldiers themselves are good at fighting, but also because they are all personal guards of the Qing army's Aixin Jueluo family, so naturally they will not fight easily.
Now it is only because Zhu Youzhen is here as the bait of the Ming Emperor that Duoduo takes the risk of relying on his most elite white-armored soldiers to get rid of the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen through heavy arrows.
Of course, although Duoduo is risky, it is not without consideration, he thought that the combat power of the white-armored soldiers was enough to kill the Ming army on the city wall after advancing fifty steps, and although some of the Ming army's firearms on the city wall would shoot at this distance at this time, the shooting distance was basically not large, and his white-armored soldiers were all heavily armored, and it was difficult to break the armor with bullets at this distance.
What's more, these white-armored soldiers are still riding and shooting, and the target is moving at any time, so Duoduo thinks that even if he pushes fifty paces, the Ming army still can't form a blow to the white-armored soldiers under his command.
The white-armored soldiers were also fearless because of this, they screamed, and shot a series of arrows with great precision, and the arrows could almost hit the battlements, and even some of the lives of the Ming army had been harvested, and even the Jinyi guards had fallen to the ground.
Suo Zhao is one of the white-armored soldiers here, he just shot an arrow, almost hit the Ming Emperor who took away the battlements in the dragon robe, for a moment his confidence greatly increased, while controlling the speed of the horse while taking out three arrows again, ready to shoot a salvo of three arrows.
But at this time, he saw the crackling sound of fried beans coming from the city wall, and then bursts of white smoke came out.
Just when Suo Zhao disapplievously thought that this was the Ming army who was frightened and shot indiscriminately, and didn't think about not being able to hurt himself at this time, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and when he looked down, there was already gurgling blood coming out of the heavy armor.
Only then did Suo Zhao realize that he had been shot and was about to die, and he couldn't help but feel a panic, and couldn't help but think of the days when he was young for the first time he rode a horse, and then he closed his eyes and fell from his horse, and the three arrows in his hand fell to the ground.
Like Suo Zhao, many of the other white-armored soldiers began to be shot, and they were both stunned and surprised.
One infantry battalion of the Guards had an establishment of 6,000 men.
Among these 6,000 people, all of them are carefully selected and strictly trained infantrymen, and they all have the ultimate proficiency in the operation skills of the Chongzhen 14-style flintlock pistol, otherwise they would not have been selected into the first battalion, and they are all selected from the five or six hundred thousand conscripts with a high percentage of elimination rate, and coupled with the improvement of the logistics system of the Guards, the meat keeps up so that even if it is already dusk and the sky is dark, the Guards can still effectively shoot accurately at these white-armored soldiers.
In addition, although the smoke formed after the combustion of pyrotechnic powder will affect the accuracy of the shooting, because it is a condescending shot, the white smoke naturally falls due to the effect of gravity, and the interference caused by the second and third rounds of shooting of the Guards is not large.
Almost all of the 100 white-armored soldiers led by Turai were shot, and only about a dozen of them quickly retreated with Turai.
After all, it is a dense firepower network formed by 6,000 people, which is enough to cover the side of Kaifeng City where Zhu Youzhen is located, coupled with the continuous shooting of flintlock pistols, and the improvement of gunpowder technology, and the well-trained guards are fighting by the side of His Majesty the Emperor, and the enthusiasm is high, and the city wall is the backing, so these white-armored cavalry are brave, and they will naturally only have to be defeated in the face of the attack of the Guards A firearms battalion, not to mention that they themselves do not realize that the firearms of the Guards are sharper than they imagined.
Duoduo's face turned the color of pig liver, he was naturally very heartbroken, since he left the mountain customs, he had never killed a single white-armored soldier under his command, and now he has directly lost more than eighty under Kaifeng City!
