Some are still alive, but he is dead.

Of course, Zhu Shuren can understand this sentence, but the generals under him may not be able to understand it.

Therefore, after the successful attack of the sheep in the middle road and the successful sneak attack on the east road, the high-level generals of the Ming army on these two roads were all more enthusiastic and asked Zhu Shuren to send heavy troops to attack and take the last Pizhou City, and completely destroy Kong Youde's men and horses!

However, Zhu Shuren felt that the main strategic objective had been achieved, and that it was almost the middle of winter, so it was necessary to reduce the losses of the troops, and there was no need to carry out another strong attack on the enemy who was destined to run out of ammunition.

"Everyone, if Kong Youde is stationed in Xuzhou at the moment, then Gu will definitely let you make persistent efforts to break the city as soon as possible. Because Xuzhou is the key place of the four provinces of the Central Plains, and the people are abundant, there are both population and money.

But now Xuzhou has been captured by our army, and it is firmly in the hands, Mandahai's first counterattack attempt was also defeated and repelled by our army! We can take advantage of the last two months of winter to tie up the fence around Xuzhou, and then there are jackals and wild dogs who dare to attack, just take advantage of this to bleed them!

This small county in Pizhou originally had only a slight military value, but it had almost no economic value, and there were no people in the city worth saving. In addition, when our army raided before, General Li Fuming came very quickly, first breaking through several counties along the river in Huaibei, and then going north along Surabaya to break Suqian.

When he learned that Xuzhou might be threatened, he temporarily transferred heavy troops to Pizhou to block the road and obstruct General Li's advance along Surabaya, but he didn't want to be outflanked by our army's Haizhou landing.

In this case, relying on the original military rations in Pizhou, it is necessary to support 30,000 troops, but in two or three months, they will definitely starve to death! In this case, will the Qing army in Shandong and Gui and Bo be saved?

If it comes to the rescue, it will be cold in the middle of winter, and it will take the initiative to attack in the field, which will be extremely unfavorable to the Qing army, and the loss will be large. If it is not saved, it can further deal a serious blow to the morale of the Tatars in the north!

We have to go through the siege of Pizhou in the past few months to tell all the remaining northern Han people not to give their lives to the Tartars anymore! Otherwise, even if they are old traitors who have followed them for fifteen or twenty years, the Tartars will not come to their rescue at a critical moment!

Our army can save more soldiers' lives, confront the Tartars for money and food, bleed the Tartars for a winter, and finally annihilate the 30,000 thieves in Pizhou City in vain, isn't it! ”

Zhu Shuren's lofty position finally made Cao Bianjiao, Huang Degong and Li Fuming, who were eager to fight, recognize this problem.

The coldest time of the year is not conducive to long-distance attacks. The Ming army's three-year large-scale offensive in Longwu has basically reached this point.

Although the Tartars occasionally take advantage of the midwinter to attack, even the Tartars like the freezing of the Yellow River and the Huai River in the middle of winter, allowing horses to gallop directly across the river, and even the weakness of the naval army is compensated.

But this advantage is obviously only effective for the northerners, the main force of the Ming Dynasty is mainly southerners, and the combat mode is also based on the style of the south, and it is extremely dependent on the navy. Any logistical supply river that breaks off or freezes, or at least drops in water levels that can no longer support shipping, can have a negative impact.

In such a situation, the Ming army really did not plan to launch a large-scale offensive in the two months at the end of the year, so it was enough to hang the Qing army to bleed.

In view of Zhu Shuren's prestige in the Ming army now, which has long been as high as the sky, since he has set this tone, of course the generals from all walks of life will not object, everyone knows that it is necessary to be relaxed and strictly enforced.

However, what Zhu Shuren didn't expect was that just after he gave the above orders to the Central Route Army and the Eastern Route Army, only a few days later, the Western Route Battlefield, which had been ignored by him, actually sent back a huge victory news.

"Lord Wang! Ruyang, Caizhou urgent! Governor Zhang's big victory over Azig! The Qing army on the Western Road was also defeated! ”

The messenger was sent from Xinyang Mansion along the Huai River to the east, and traveled hundreds of miles a day, and when Zhu Shuren received it, he was surprised.

"What? My cousin was able to rely on the strength of the Henan official army and some of the Huguang official army to directly repel Azig? I originally planned to let Azig consume for a while, and after the soldiers were exhausted, I would make a big detour to surround Wei and save Zhao to force him back, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue it! ”

Zhu Shuren was shocked inexplicably, and while unfolding the military report, he muttered, "How did you win the war?" ”

At that time, there were several generals around Zhu Shuren who participated in the routine military meeting, and everyone was curious and eager to know about it as soon as possible.

The messenger didn't know much about the details, and he didn't dare to dismantle it in advance to see the good news, so he only knew a little about it, and he quickly explained it roughly, it turned out that it was the rifled gun sniper team assigned to Zhang Huangyan by Zhu Shuren on the road, which established an unexpected achievement on the battlefield, which led to the accelerated defeat of the Qing army on the West Road.

……

The timeline is turned back more than half a month, returning to the Huaixi battlefield of the Ming and Qing dynasties in early November, that is, Xinyang, Ruyang, Shangcai and other places where Zhang Huangyan and Azig confronted each other.

This battlefield, the Ming army is actually very familiar with, because when Chongzhen was fifteen years old, when Zhu Shuren was still the governor of Huguang, he fought a decisive battle with Li Zicheng here.

In the end, he destroyed Li Zicheng's 200,000 peasant army, and blinded Li Zicheng in one eye with a musket team, making Li Zicheng become a one-eyed dragon as he did by historical inertia.

It's just that five years later, the commander of the Ming army on this battlefield has changed from Zhu Shuren to Zhang Huangyan, and the combat power, scale, and weapons of the combat troops have also been comprehensively upgraded.

Therefore, in the early stage of this war of attrition, there is not much to say, because the way of progress is not much different from the battle of Zhu and Li five years ago.

The only change is that Azig's encirclement is deeper, and there are more elite cavalry that can be interspersed with maneuvers, completely blocking the road for the Ming army to cross Tongbai Mountain to supply Xinyang and other places.

Zhang Huangyan, on the other hand, can rely on modern chemical affairs that are much stronger than when Zhu Shuren defended the city, and wait for reinforcements with less speed of defending resources, and slowly consume Azig's attack power.

After several years of construction during the truce period of the Ming army, several local core cities such as Xinyang and Shangcai have been fully fortified, and the reserves of firearms and ammunition are also very sufficient, so it is natural to sit back and relax.

After two months of siege, Azig gradually became tired and paralyzed, and no longer expected a quick breakthrough, only thinking about waiting for the city to run out of supplies.

So after entering November, as the weather became colder and the roads became more and more difficult, the Qing army had to continue to blockade and pay more manpower costs.

Although there will be no casualties, the cavalry often patrols in the winter snow, which is also very demoralizing, but the Ming army did not try to secretly cross Tongbai Mountain to transport supplies to Xinyang and other cities, so that the more the Qing army did useless work, the more the soldiers complained.

Azig also knew the situation, and had to moderately reduce the intensity of the blockade patrol as the weather gradually deteriorated, estimating that as long as nothing happened.

Zhang Huangyan has always shrunk and remained motionless, which also gave Azig more and more anxiety and contempt for the enemy, and gradually turned a blind eye to other hidden dangers.

……

Zhang Huangyan in Xinyang City didn't seem to have done anything and held steady for two or three months, but he actually had hidden strength.

During the previous two-and-a-half-year truce, the Ming army had a number of scientific research and farming achievements in new equipment and new weapons, and the rifled sniper rifle was one of the most highly anticipated inventions.

Before the war, Zhu Shuren was very supportive of his cousin, and the whole army had only seven or eight hundred finished rifled guns at that time, and he gave Zhang Huangyan and the Henan Army and the Huguang Army a total of nearly 300 shots. Zhu Shuren's own small troops only left 500 strokes.

Moreover, Zhu Shuren has always been very low-key in the use of this new weapon on the frontal battlefield. At first, he planned to use it to snipe Abatay.

But Abatai was more cautious at the time, and he was seriously ill before he died, and he didn't like to scold the Ming army before the war, so the Ming army never got the opportunity to sneak attack.

In this case, Zhu Shuren's requirements for the sniper team were to wait for the field battle to start in full swing and make a mess, and then mix it in the cover of the fire of ordinary smoothbore riflemen and open fire. In this way, the guns and cannons on the battlefield were fired in unison, and no one knew who fired a certain bullet, nor would they suspect that the Ming army had "new equipment with an accurate firing range far beyond the original old weapons".

The price of this use was that the Ming army never got the opportunity to kill the Qing army's prince and Baylor in a long-distance sneak attack before the war on the Fengyang battlefield, but it also kept the existence of this weapon secret for another month or two.

Moreover, it is precisely because Zhu Shuren's side is so low-key that it has caused more paralysis of the Qing army, and it is impossible to think that the Ming army will have new weapons that have not been taken out.

Zhu Shuren's side was so cautious, and Zhang Huangyan naturally kept suppressing the performance of this new weapon. He could snipe at an enemy 300 paces away while defending the city, but he did not allow his soldiers to open fire, and only allowed the enemy to approach within 200 paces of the city wall before firing. This not only hides strength, but also allows you to kill the enemy more efficiently.

All this has created conditions for Zhang Huangyan.

……

On the seventh day of the first day of November, the opportunity that Zhang Huangyan was waiting for finally came.

Around those two days, perhaps because the Qing army's original besieging troops had been on guard for too long, they were exhausted and needed to change their guards. At the same time, it was also the first goose feather snow in Xinyang Mansion that year.

Under the heavy snow covering the mountain, the roads through Tongbai Mountain are completely blocked, at least until the snow melts before they can be reopened. The Qing army was outside the city, and the cold conditions were definitely not as good as those in the city, so the soldiers became more and more slack, and asked to change the guard in advance and return to the rear city to rest and recuperate.

Azig had to personally inspect the besieged camps in Xincai, Ruyang, Xinyang and other counties to cheer up the soldiers, and promised to change the guard on time, reward wine and meat, and suppress the impulsors.

In order to facilitate the suppression, Azig's own battalion also advanced to Zhenyang County between the three counties.

Zhenyang County is not a military location, it is still remote and poor, but because of this, the Ming army was unable to leave heavy troops to defend in every county, and it was abandoned early and was broken by the Qing army.

This place happens to be not far north of Xinyang, only separated by dozens of miles, but it is located in Huaibei, relatively safe, and isolated by the Huai River barrier. It snowed in the winter, and Azig, as the prince, didn't want to camp in the wilderness, so he moved to the county town closest to the battlefield and had been taken by the Qing army.

And in the process of changing guards in the past few days, the Qing army in the south of Xinyang City also had some gaps.

Originally, this gap was also irrelevant - because the road to the south of Xinyang was blocked mainly to prevent the Ming army south of Tongbai Mountain from crossing the Xinyang Valley to come to Xinyang for reinforcements, or to prevent the Xinyang defenders from breaking through from the south of the mountain.

Now that the heavy snow has begun to close the mountain, there is no road in the south of the city, so what does it matter if it is not encircled for the time being?

The only drawback is that it may cause the Ming army to leave the city from this time, and then instead of going south over Tongbai Mountain, but after going around half a circle, they will go north to attack the besieging Qing army in other battlefields.

But this kind of thing, in the eyes of the Qing army, seems to be suicide, they want the Ming army to go out of the city to fight, what is there to be wary of?

"In the past few days, it seems to be a good time, the Qing army is very lax, especially in the south near the Tongbai Mountains, because of the heavy snow to close the road, they are not having a good time, they do not want to stand in the snow, many of them are lazy to withdraw.

Our army also took the opportunity to send harassment troops, went out of the city to capture some prisoners, and asked Azig whether he had personally inspected various siege camps recently to boost morale, and the cavalry of the Qing army was also scattered everywhere.

Mr. Zhu, it's up to you later. This officer has maintained all the 300 rifled guns in the army and has hidden them to this day, plus the original 2,000 breech-loading double-barreled cavalry guns and 1,000 revolver guns in the army, all of which have been allocated to you.

Then concentrate most of the war horses of the whole army, select 6,000 horses in good condition, you only pick 3,000 cavalry, one person and two horses to attack, and see if you can sneak attack and kill a few high-ranking generals of the Qing army, or at least sneak attack and rob a few rear enemy troops in the camp.

Anyway, don't fall in love with war, you have a speed advantage, even if you are discovered, you won't be caught up so easily, if you can't fight a tough battle, you can hide quickly, maybe the Qing army will light the enemy, and will take the initiative to give you a chance. ”

Zhu Wenzhen, who had lost half of his palm in Liaodong, had been fighting with the musket cavalry team under the command of Zhu Shuren for four or five years, and when he withdrew from Tashan and Bijia Mountain, he was trusted and reused by Zhu Shuren.

Therefore, if you want to talk about large-scale cavalry corps combat, he may not be as good as Cao Bianjiao and Huang Degong. But with two or three thousand elite musketeers, he commanded them absolutely like a finger.

What's more, the Battle of Xinyang has lasted for two or three months, and the other troops are fighting hard every day, but his cavalry troops have been resting, and Governor Zhang has not lacked their meat and food, and the treatment is no worse than those robes who fight on the city wall every day.

Raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while, and now of course I have to sell my life to go out for a walk.

"Rest assured, Lord Governor! The last general will do everything he can, not only to make meritorious contributions, but also to bring the brothers back in as good condition as possible! ”

After that, he ordered more than 2,000 of the most elite musketeers and old subordinates, as well as 800 improvised elite riflemen, with 6,000 war horses, all of them on two horses.

One might be surprised: shouldn't he be a pure cavalry force that comes and goes? Why are there still 800 elite riflemen?

This is to talk about Zhu Shuren and Zhang Huangyan, who have worked out a set of new tactics for new weapons during the three-year truce farming period in the past.

As we all know, whether it is a traditional mounted archer, a troll cavalry or a pistol cavalry who come and go on horseback like the wind, they all pursue keen observation and fast firing reaction.

After all, on the back of a galloping horse, shooting accuracy cannot be pursued, as long as you see the enemy enter the effective range, it is most important to fire the enemy first.

Therefore, these arms rarely practice aiming and shooting, and they all "shoot from the waist by feeling" on the battlefield, and they do not even have the habit of holding the gun in front of the eye to aim before firing.

Such a soldier, apparently, is not suitable for the use of rifled sniper rifles.

After Zhu Shuren and Zhang Huangyan discussed this problem before the war, the solution proposed was: don't pursue the comprehensiveness of the arms, since the cavalry marksmanship is not good, only let the infantry shoot. If you want to pursue the mobility and speed of this special infantry, then let them "ride into the battlefield, and then line up with the infantry, aim and fire."

To put it bluntly, these rifled gun snipers are a group of "horse infantry", and the war horses are only used to rush and enter the battlefield, and when they fight, they still dismount and fight like infantry.

In fact, for a long time in the 18th century, the "dragoons" in the West also used this tactic, and the horses were only used to drive.

Zhu Wenzhen took such a composite class of 3,000 people, and on a snowy night, taking advantage of the gap between the Qing army in the south of Xinyang City to change the defense, he quietly opened the door and went out of the city, bypassing the strong enemy on the front line, and went deep behind the enemy to start a harassment war.

Along the way, Zhu Wenzhen did not surprisingly intercept and kill several Qing army scouts, and roughly figured out the deployment of the Qing army, which is also strange that the Qing army has not encountered the Ming army out of the city to counterattack for too long, and the scouts are not highly alert.

In addition, the Ming army's telescopes and observation equipment were more advanced, and the soldiers also had soldiers who had been specially trained by scientific nutrition and selected soldiers with particularly strong night vision vision as scouts, so they naturally had an advantage in the night scout war.

It was learned that the Qing army had siege camps in Xinyang and the three counties north and northeast of Xinyang, and that there was a garrison of Azig himself in Zhenyang County in the middle.

After a little calculation, Zhu Wenzhen decided to divide his troops and choose a Qing army siege camp closest to Zhenyang County to sneak attack. If you're unlucky, you'll just kill him with thousands of Tartars, burn some heavy armor, and then hurry away.

If you are lucky, you can also seduce the Qing army to pursue the camp, and even make a little noise, and seduce the Qing army in Zhenyang County to also go out of the city for reinforcements. Then you don't have to deal with those camps and city turtle shells.

Zhu Wenzhen's operation is really good, or rather, this is the Ming army has been waiting for opportunities repeatedly for several months, cautiously seeking war, and finally has enough character.

Opportunities are only given to those who are prepared, and those who are not prepared may not be able to seize even if God tells you that there will always be an opportunity in the next few months according to the probability.

Zhu Wenzhen was the first to sneak attack, which was located dozens of miles north of Xinyang City, and the Qing army was on the Huai River. Originally, Zhu Shuren was not so easy to succeed in a sneak attack, but in the past few days, it happened to be a heavy snow covering the mountain, and the local Huai River was upstream, and the water was dry in winter, and it was completely frozen after the sudden cooling.

The Qing army's ferry water village on the north bank of the Huai River, the original fortifications were all facing the shore, because there was no need to be vigilant against the Huai River, and no one could kill directly from the river.

Now that the river is frozen, the cavalry directly wrapped their horse's hooves with straw ropes to prevent slipping, and rushed over from the ice in the dark at night, and the Qing army was defenseless and was immediately robbed and camped very badly.

Thousands of soldiers were directly killed in the chaotic battle, and they didn't even have time to get up, and more soldiers fled and collapsed, and the key was that the reserves left by the Qing army at the dock and ferry were also burned.

Zhu Wenzhen made a lot of noise, and after robbing the camp and killing the defenders, he set fire as much as possible, so that the fire could be seen dozens of miles away.

The troops in the Xinyang siege camp saw that the Huai River crossing from the north was burned, and they hurriedly sent troops back to help. And Azig in Zhenyang County was also alarmed in his sleep.

Azig is also a rebellious and brave person, he has been aggrieved for a few months, but his subordinates were accidentally stolen by the Ming army, how can he bear it? Immediately whipped a few subordinates who were a little bit responsible, and then asked to prepare horses and personally lead the army to chase down this Ming army that did not know whether to live or die.

His subordinates persuaded him hard, but Azig believed that the elite cavalry with red flags under his own leadership was extraordinary, so why should he avoid the battle.

He also insulted the persuaders: "What do you cowards know! Our army stayed in Xinyang, Xincai, Ruyang and other places to besiege the city soldiers and horses, which was mainly the Han army banner and the infantry of the green battalion, and there were fewer cavalry, how could they catch up with this kind of enemy attack that did not know death?

My two red flag elites have been recuperating for a long time, and if we don't take this opportunity to pull out and destroy the enemy, when will we wait! ”

Azig's remarks were not unreasonable, because most of the previous sieges were infantry. The cavalry was useless during the siege, so they could only rest in the rear, be responsible for supervision, and deploy to the second line to control the field and plug the leakage.

Now the Ming army is attacking with light cavalry, and the red flag will not be on at this time, when will it wait?

Azig rushed out fatefully, and went straight to Minggangdu in the north of Xinyang, a ferry water village on the north bank of the Huai River, and really bumped into Zhu Wenzhen's 3,000 cavalry on the way.

Because it takes time to attack and burn the village, when the two armies met, the whole night had already passed, and it was already the morning of the next day.

The Ming army did not fight and gallop all the time, and after burning the water village and the dock, they also rested for a few hours to regain their energy. He also took the supplies left by the Qing army in the dock camp, picked meat and good dishes, ate and drank a lot, restored morale, and waited for the Qing army reinforcements.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Ming army was so arrogant, Azig actually didn't run away, and waited not far from the eucalyptus site to wait for the Qing army reinforcements to come, and he was so angry that he exploded his lungs:

"This group of southern barbarians looks like there are only five or six thousand people at most, maybe there is one person with two horses, and the number is even less. How dare this little force be so arrogant? Do you treat me as if I were nothing with the red flag? Take a short rest, let the soldiers recover their strength, and get ready to charge! ”

Although Azig spoke ruthlessly, he was not brainless. He was originally in a hurry, but he had been aggrieved for a long time in the past few months, and he wanted to find a good fight.

But when he rushed to the front to see that the Ming army was not in a hurry to escape, but was waiting for work, he also calmed down, knowing that he could not let the Ming army take advantage of physical strength, and should let his troops rest before launching a general attack.

Anyway, the purpose of the rapid march is to be afraid that the enemy will run, and since the enemy is not running, what is he in a hurry?

The red flag surrounded it in a half-moon shape, but when it was still about ten miles away from the Ming army, it stopped and re-formed to rest. If the Ming army retaliated, they also had time to react.

As a result, soon after the red flag stopped, the Ming army on the opposite side moved-of course, this was not a disorder, but Zhu Wenzhen had carefully observed the formation of the Qing cavalry with a high-powered telescope and found the location of Azig's banner.

"You still want to rest and recover the physical exertion of running for dozens of miles? What a godsend! The whole army slowly moved towards where Azig was, and eight hundred cavalry riflemen were the first to advance! Go ahead of your plan! ”

After seeing that the cavalry of the Ming army also moved, the Qing army was indeed a little like a big enemy, but after waiting for a while, seeing that the Ming army was only a few hundred horsemen, the Qing army stopped the movement in doubt, lest this was the Ming army's tired enemy plan.

What can such a small person do? I'm afraid I don't want to use these hundreds of sheep to mobilize tens of thousands of Qing cavalry, so that tens of thousands of Qing cavalry will be consumed horsepower and energy, right?

And the Qing army will soon have to pay the price for this sluggishness.

The general of the "Dragoon Cavalry" sent by Zhu Wenzhen, named Li Yu, was also withdrawn from the Tashan and Bijiashan battlefields with Zhu Wenzhen that year.

It's just that Li Yu was the garrison of the Korean bird battalion that abandoned the darkness and turned to the light at that time, and was the concubine of Li Shibai, the Korean soldier Cao Judge, who pretended to be his brother Li Yue to go to the Qing Kingdom as a hostage. Later, taking advantage of Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Mingzhen's battle of Bijia Mountain, he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

There is a saying that in the late Ming Dynasty, because of the strict prohibition of civilian firearms in China, the accuracy of the bird guns at that time was really inferior to the North Korean bird guns, which is also supported by historical data.

In the early years of North Korea, it was necessary to guard against Tartars, and there were few changes in North Korea, so it was not afraid of rebellion by military generals with different surnames and mud legs, so it allowed the people to hunt with birds.

With the guarantee of long-term training, there are still many old hunters who have been hunting with bird guns for more than ten years, and there are many bird guns with good marksmanship. It's just that the other branches of the North Korean army are really rubbish, and they are relatively vulnerable in front of the Ming army, the Qing army, and the Japanese army.

Zhu Shuren is not a narrow-minded person, for useful people who are willing to take refuge in him, even if they are of different races, they can use it, and at most they will secretly keep some hands on guard.

Therefore, after the sniper rifle unit appeared, he also selected hundreds of good marksmen from the North Korean bird battalion of more than 1,000 people brought back by Li Yu from the surrender, and then concentrated on intensive training.

In fact, the North Korean bird battalion was pulled around by Daming to fight, and now there are only seven or eight hundred people left in total, and the North Korean veterans are originally dead and one less, and they will not be specially replenished.

Zhu Shuren is also recruiting Han people to expand the army, and the Koreans only have stocks, and the more they use them, the less they use.

Even so, Zhu Shuren also set an unwritten rule, now the first batch of rifle snipers, the North Koreans are only allowed to account for a small half, and in the future, the production of weapons will be expanded, and the number of North Koreans must be controlled to less than 30%, and gradually decreased. In the future, there will be abundant resources in peacetime, and it will be possible to slowly train Han sharpshooters.

And when it comes to the use of the battlefield, the Han generals will also secretly defend themselves, such as this time they sent 800 dragoons, only 300 rifle snipers, and 500 of them were all with new-style Wuchang-made smoothbore guns, as well as bayonets. The muskets of snipers are not easy to load with bayonets, so they have no melee ability, and they are not afraid that they will not obey the command of the warlord.

……

With the help of the telescope, Li Yu had already locked on Azig's flag array, approaching unhurriedly, lest Azig be alerted in advance. And when the two armies were five hundred paces apart, Li Yu further slowed down and made a gesture of slowing down and stopping at any time, which made the Qing generals on the opposite side feel more and more incomprehensible.

What the hell is this?

Azig was also puzzled, seeing that the two cavalry divisions of the Ming army had been far apart, and this small army in front of him had been separated by thousands of military horses behind him for several miles, he finally decided to test it, so he ordered a few cavalry generals under his command:

"Zhuo Butai and Shaerhu, you take two armor la, flank the left and right, and eat the thousand horsemen first! However, if they are defeated and flee to lure the enemy, and try to rendezvous with the main force, do not chase deeply! Beware of fraud! ”

"Obey the orders of the prince!" Zhuo Butai and Sha Erhu all roared in agreement, and they were about to turn around and order the cavalry of their headquarters to attack.

However, at the moment of Azig's order, Li Yu on the opposite side was already ready, and at this time, the distance between the two sides was still more than four hundred steps, so it was no wonder that Azig was not on guard.

Li Yu's 300 rifled snipers had already stood in three columns, crouching in the front row, and were told to aim at Azig in advance, and then shoot in batches according to the order.

Shooting in batches is also a fear of wasting energy, in case the bullets fired at Azig are blocked by the guards, and if the guards who were shot together have not had time to fall, it is possible to block more bullets.

A slight interval of three or five seconds is the best interval between shots, and it will not make the Qing army react and protect Azig immediately.

"Five breaths per platoon, listen to the order to fire! The first row fired! ”

Li Yu himself was also aiming with a rifled gun, and asked the adjutant next to him to help shout the password, and then fired together.

"Bang bang bang!"

The Qing army on the opposite side was slightly alarmed, but fortunately, they were also used to seeing muskets, but the original muskets did not have such a long range, and they didn't expect to move so far. When I saw the cavalry of the Ming army dismounting and lining up before, I thought it was some other trick to lure the enemy.

However, only a few seconds later, there was a commotion in the Qing army, and countless people crowded each other, and more than a dozen horsemen fell from their horses one after another, or various wails were heard.

The sniper business wasted no time, and within a few seconds it opened fire, emptying all 300 rifled guns.

"Uh-" Azig snorted in disbelief, his hands covering his chest and abdomen, but blood gushed uncontrollably from beneath the fine double armor.

300 sniper shells instantly killed more than 10 cavalry of the Qing army guards and generals around Azig, and some were injured. Calculating the probability, basically a dozen bullets kill one, this is still a trained sharpshooter, and I have to make people feel that the first actual combat of this weapon is still too tender after all.

But compared with the original old-fashioned weapons, this accuracy and range have exceeded the imagination of the Qing army.

And everyone is aiming at Azig, and the closer people get to Azig, the more shots they may have. For example, the two who had just listened to the generals, Alazhen Zhuobutai and Sharhu, were shot three times and twice respectively.

And Azig, who was the most taken care of, could be regarded as a capable person, and the number of shots was just as many as the two subordinates who obeyed the order combined, and he was shot five times.

It's a pity that there are no direct headshots or heartshots, so Azig may be able to hold out for a moment and a half before he dies of organ failure or crazy blood loss, and he can't die on the spot in a few seconds.

But this is definitely a fatal wound, the mother is undoubted.

"Hit Azig! God bless the great! That's enough! The whole army is on the horse, don't fall in love with the war! Meet Zhu Junmen! ”

After Li Yu confirmed the results of the battle through the binoculars, of course, he would not wait for the Qing army to retaliate, and directly got on his horse and ran away.

The remaining main force of the Qing army in chaos will be handed over to Zhu Wenzhen to watch and do, if you can get a vote, you can get a vote, and if you can't get it, you don't have to fall in love with the war, just find another fighter.

Azig is dead, are you still afraid that the Qing army in Huaixi will not be chaotic!

——

ps: I can't help it, yesterday it was 4,500 words, and today it was 8,000 words.

It's not that I don't want to evenly break it into 6,000 words a day, it's really that I'm a person who still has to focus on plot advancement in chapters, and I always have to write a small plot every day, and the main line is pushed a little bit.

So, there are long and short, so be it. In the future, I will go to the out-of-chapter training class for further study.
