Chapter 734: One-Sided Massacre?
In the train car, Zhu Cijiong was standing in the connecting passage of the two carriages, and his right hand was raised. When the prototype car was just built by the Bamboo Railway Factory, there was only a Weng's connecting mechanism between the carriages, and a temporary aisle was required to pass through it.
But now, a connecting tunnel has been installed between the carriages. There are doors in the connecting passage between the carriages, but at this time all the doors are open.
However, all the iron windows on the left and right sides of the carriage were tightly closed. Feeling that the thieves outside the carriage were gathering more and more, all the Ming soldiers held their breaths and quietly waited for King Ding's order to fire.
Suddenly, the gun commander in the carriage gave Zhu Cijiong a sign language. The thieves uncamouflage the shooting hole and prepare to drill through it!
At this moment, Zhu Cijiong's raised right hand fell down vigorously.
"The king has an order, open the window!" The heralds guarding the passage connecting the carriages quickly conveyed Zhu Cijiong's military orders.
So, except for the locomotive, the iron window on the left side of the other ten carriages rose upwards one after another, revealing a slit, and then a rifle with a rod protruded from the slit.
…… Before the iron window of the train was raised, the Dashun cavalry had already discovered the shooting hole. It was Zhu Cijiong who asked the artillerymen to use a pointed pickaxe to break the dismantled shooting holes, one for each carriage, but they couldn't find it because of the camouflage on the outside.
"General, there seems to be a hole here." The Dashun cavalry, who was the first to undisguise, shouted excitedly.
A military general immediately followed and looked over from the back of his horse. Really, this hole is not small, and it is no problem to get into it alone.
"You, go inside and have a look." The general pointed to the two cavalrymen. The two horsemen were about to drill into it, when a black tube suddenly poked out of the hole.
"What the hell is this?" One of the cavalrymen approached to take a closer look, and when he saw it clearly, the whole person was stunned on the spot, into the thief, this is a cannon!
The next moment, a red light suddenly bloomed in the cavalry's eyes. Immediately afterward, a dazzling streamer shot out of the shooting hole.
Wherever this red streamer passed, the rogue cavalry who bore the brunt of it lost its head in an instant, and the bodies of the following rogue cavalry were also shot to pieces, turning into a rain of blood.
Then, cracks opened in the middle of the monster. Then, the mouth of a rod protrudes through the slit.
Then the red light bloomed, and the gunshots were endless...... It's a long story, but it happens in a matter of seconds.
Gao Yigong in the distance was preparing to come over, and he happened to see this scene. It was first
The sound of "boom boom" was fired, only to see several dazzling streamers passing by, and the cavalry of the Dashun army was plowed out of several bloody roads in an instant, and the Dashun cavalry in it, whether people or horses, were all eroded.
Because the cavalry of the thieves was close at hand, the Ming artillery loaded the shotguns. Immediately afterwards, there was another gunshot, and the Dashun cavalry fell down one after another.
"Ming army, there is a Ming army in the carriage!" Gao Ligong yelled with a shocked face.
"Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet, and retreat!" Gao Yigong reacted quickly and immediately ordered. Its practical use did not blow the trumpet, and the Dashun cavalry had already begun to flee after being raided.
It's just that it was too close at the beginning, and it was really difficult to escape all at once. Although the artillery of the Ming army was interacted for a long time, and after firing a shot, it fell into a long stagnation, but the muskets of the Ming army continued to fire and create casualties.
By the time the Dashun cavalry retreated to 500 paces, they had already suffered thousands of casualties. At this time, the artillery of the Ming army fired again, accompanied by a booming explosion, several dazzling red lights rose in the formation of the Dashun cavalry in an instant, and the men and horses were killed.
One of the shells landed not far from Gao Yigong's side. A fragment even left a blood groove on Gao Yigong's face.
"Retreat!" Gao Yigong was taken aback and yelled,
"Retreat to a thousand paces away!" So the Dashun cavalry hurriedly retreated again, and this time instead of retreating to a thousand paces, but directly retreated to two thousand paces, because they felt that a thousand steps was not enough insurance.
After retreating to a distance of 2,000 paces, he counted and lost nearly 3,000 cavalry! Gao Yigong was distressed, when he first arrived, he hadn't done anything yet, and he actually lost one-tenth of the cavalry, which were all elite cavalry in the rear camp.
……
"It's a pity." Zhu Cijiong still felt a little pity. The heart said that the rogue cavalry is too indifferent, as long as you hold on for a little longer, this wave will be able to take away at least a third of the rogue cavalry, and one-tenth is still less.
Xu Laohu said: "King Ding, do you want to attack?" "Watts
"What's the attack?" Zhu Cijiong didn't have a good airway,
"Can you outrun a war horse's four legs on two legs? Don't end up with the mutton not eating, but get into trouble. After a pause, Zhu Cijiong instructed Xu Laohu again: "Tiger, you take this regiment back and forth along the railway, and the thief cavalry moves closer to Beijing City, you go to support Beijing, and the Zhou thief goes to Tongzhou, so you go to Tongzhou." ”
"Yes." Xu Laohu agreed to come down as soon as he could, but he didn't dare to ask Zhu Cijiong where he was going. Zhu Cijiong said to Xu Wuniu again: "Wuniu, let's get off the car and bite the thief cavalry." "This is the mission of the Scout Cavalry, after discovering the Rogue Cavalry, you must bite it tightly, and report the exact location of the Rogue Cavalry to the main cavalry force at any time.
Xu Wuniu was a little worried: "King Ding, do you want to wait for the main force of the cavalry division to arrive?" ”
"No, you don't." Zhu Cijiong said suddenly,
"With our equipment, we will still be afraid of the scouts of the thieves?" Xu Wuniu immediately said no more, ordered more than 100 scout cavalry of the scout cavalry team, and asked the town soldiers to erect gangways between the door and the ground with wooden planks, and then led the horses out of the car.
…… On the other hand, Gao Yigong is still hesitating, should he go to Beijing? Originally, there was nothing to hesitate about, for the cavalry, the biggest obstacle in Beijing was the towering and strong city wall and the moat outside the city, but now the Ming army not only demolished the city wall, but also filled in the moat, from outside the city to the city has become a smooth road, so what is there to hesitate?
But now, Gao Yigong is a little hesitant. Because of the monster that suddenly appeared in front of me. Just when Gao Yigong hesitated, Gao Ligong suddenly came to report: "Big brother, that monster has come down from the hundred cavalry scouts of the Ming Army and is coming to our side." "Watts
"There are also Ming Army scout cavalry on the monster?" Gao Yigong was a little stunned. When I looked back again, I saw that the scout cavalry of the Bailai Cavalry Ming Army had widened the distance and slowly leaned over in a fan shape, as if they wanted to follow and monitor their movements.
"Big brother, little brother will take people to kill them." Gao Ligong was on fire: "We can't deal with that monster, can't we deal with the Ming army's hundred cavalry scout cavalry?" Gao Yigong advised: "Be careful, don't get close to that monster." ”
"Yes." Gao Ligong responded, and immediately ordered a thousand cavalry to meet him. …… Seeing about a thousand or so rogue cavalry coming up, Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but smile.
Da
"Good time." Zhu Cijiong laughed fiercely and shouted,
"All of them, ready to fight!" The more than 100 scout cavalry, who were originally in a sparse formation, immediately moved closer to the middle, and finally formed a long row, and then filled the chamber with paper shells and fixed ammunition.
The reason why it is necessary to form a dense formation is to improve the bullet hit rate. The second is to give hints to the thieves and induce them to line up in a dense formation.
Sure enough, seeing that the Ming scout cavalry was lined up in a horizontal formation, the thief cavalry also formed a neat horizontal formation from a loose formation in order to demonstrate, divided into ten teams before and after, and crushed the Ming army scout cavalry.
"Hehe, that's stupid." Zhu Cijiong saw this, and the smile on his face was even stronger. In the blink of an eye, the rogue cavalry had approached within six hundred paces, that is, nearly a thousand meters.
This distance is undoubtedly a bit far for a rifle, and a rifled rifle equipped with a scope can also not guarantee the hit rate, but Zhu Cijiong still gave the order to fire.
After a crisp burst of gunfire, more than a dozen rogue cavalry cavalry fell from their horses. This hit rate can be said to be decent, not as amazing as imagined.
…… However, Gao Ligong was taken aback. What the heck? Ming Dog's bird gun can hit so far, and it is so accurate?
However, surprised to be surprised, Gao Ligong still did not panic, no matter what, the cavalry under his command occupied an overwhelming numerical advantage, as long as they rushed closer, it would be a one-sided slaughter.
Da
"Pick up and start sprinting at full speed!" Gao Ligong yelled. However, after only a breath or two, there was another screech of bullets.
Then another group of people turned on their backs, and this time more people and horses fell. There were only a dozen people and horses who fell to the ground just now, but this time there were more than 20 horses.
Into the mother thief, how can the loading speed of the Ming army's musket be so fast? It is much faster than the muskets of their Dashun army, and the muskets of their Dashun army have to be reloaded with six to seven breaths at the earliest, but the Ming army has less than two breaths?
Gao Ligong was even more surprised, but even so, he still didn't plan to give up. Gao Ligong still firmly believed that as long as he approached the Ming army, he could be slaughtered one-sidedly.
However, the reality was cruel, and after less than two breaths, another scream sounded. And the number of fallen horses this time is even higher, even if it is conservatively estimated that there are more than fifty horses.
And because the number of cavalry in the front row fell to the ground too much, the formation of the follow-up cavalry was disturbed at once, so that the entire formation of the Dashun cavalry became chaotic and the speed also slowed down.
Seeing this, Gao Ligong's lungs were really about to explode.
"Speed up, don't stop, rush up and kill Minggou!" Gao Ligong roared again and again, just wanting to rush to the front of the Ming army earlier.
However, at this very moment, another screech of bullets sounded. Immediately the Dashun cavalry turned over on their backs, and the number of cavalry that fell this time seemed to be more, and Gao Ligong estimated that there were more than 100 horsemen, how could it be?
