Chapter 55: Machine Guns and Cannons Together
As soon as these three Niu Lu chased out a distance of more than ten miles, they saw that the Ming army in front of them did not run.
Instead, he turned to look at them, and the Qing army rushed forward with a sneer.
As soon as they rushed to half the distance of the Ming army, they were knocked out by the Ming army on the opposite side with firearms.
The 900 Qing army fell more than 400 people in just a moment, and the remaining Qing troops continued to rush forward like red eyes.
Liu Hu sneered, "I don't know if I'm dead or alive, keep shooting." ”
Liu Hu's cavalry regiment was specially cared for by Daniel Zhang, and all of them were equipped with semi-automatic rifles, and it was easy to kill these same number of tartars.
There was another burst of strafing, and most of the remaining cavalry fell.
The rest of the cavalry, seeing that the situation was not good, turned the direction of the horse's head and ran.
The soldiers were just about to shoot when they were stopped by Liu Hu, "Let them go back and report a message, everyone quickly clean up the battlefield and lead the horses back." ”
The soldiers stepped forward to pick up the Tartars' horses and run to the camp.
As soon as he arrived at the camp, Liu Hu jumped off his horse and walked towards Daniel Zhang's big tent.
When he came to the big tent, Liu Hu said excitedly: "Commander, this semi-automatic rifle is really powerful, and it can easily kill the three Niulu's Tartars." ”
"You stinky boy, equip all your cavalry regiments with semi-automatic rifles, and now come to me and show me off, don't you?" Daniel Zhang scolded with a smile.
"Commander, where do I dare to show off in front of your old man, I just sighed."
"Alright, the main force of the Tartars should be coming soon, you should also return to your posts, and act according to my orders when the time comes."
Liu Hu saluted, "Yes!" ”
There were about 100 Qing troops who fled, and they ran far away, and they were relieved to see that the Ming army did not chase them.
They fled back to the camp, and the cow who had escaped was immediately at the camp of Alazhen Alimbao.
Niu Lu Ezhen reported on the battle just now, and when this Alin Bao heard that the three of Niu Lu's soldiers and horses had all died without even touching people's clothes, he was shocked.
Alin Bao felt that he couldn't handle this matter, so he took this Niu Lu Ezhen to Gushan Ezhen's camp.
Gushan Ezhen is called Su Hetai, and he is the commander of this area.
When Su Hetai heard that there was actually a cavalry of the Ming army ten miles behind them.
Immediately became furious, "How can we let the Ming army be behind us, and immediately lead the three Jiala to exterminate this group of Ming troops who came to support." ”
Soon Alin Bao and the other two Ala-ezhen set out with 4,500 soldiers and horses.
It didn't take long for them to come to the place where they had just fought.
When they saw that the ground was full of the corpses of Manchu soldiers, they immediately became furious and vowed to avenge the Manchu soldiers.
Then they continued their pursuit to the east.
Two miles further east, the Ming army camp was discovered.
Alin Bao ignored it and directly ordered the cavalry to rush towards the Ming army.
"Wait until the Tartars get closer before fighting." Daniel Zhang saw that the Qing army had finally arrived, and he had been waiting impatiently and said.
I saw that more than 4,000 cavalry were rushing towards the barracks quickly, and when it was only about 500 meters, Daniel Zhang shouted, "Hit me!" ”
"Bang bang bang" gunshots rang out.
The cavalrymen who rushed to the front were shot and fell off their horses, and the horses behind could not stop and continued to step on the bodies of the fallen men.
The cavalrymen who rushed behind were hit by bullets and fell one after another.
In this way, the cavalry fell as they charged, and when they reached a distance of two hundred meters, only about two thousand cavalry remained, and these cavalry continued to rush forward without fear of death.
When Daniel Zhang saw this scene, he snorted coldly and said loudly: "The fully automatic machine gun fires at Lao Tzu." ”
The soldiers, lying behind the fully automatic machine guns, heard the order and began to strafe.
Twenty heavy machine guns fired at a rate of 300 rounds per minute.
The battlefield was filled with the sound of machine guns, which stopped firing after a minute.
The two thousand cavalrymen have all fallen.
Seeing this, the soldiers on both sides felt fear.
The remaining 400 or so Qing troops, led by Alin Bao and the other two Jiala, fled back quickly.
Daniel Zhang did not order the pursuit, but asked the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, pulled the dead tartars to the side and piled them up and burned them.
When Daniel Zhang was cleaning the battlefield here, Alin Bao and the others had already come to Su Hetai's camp in embarrassment.
When he heard that his three Khala soldiers were dying so soon.
Su Hetai yelled at the three of them: "You three are really waste, so many cavalry can't help a small Ming army." ”
"Their firearms were so powerful that our soldiers were all killed as soon as they rushed in front of them a hundred paces or so." Alin Baono's voice rang out.
"They actually have firearms, and they killed so many Qing warriors, and pulled our cannons over to kill them." Sue and Tai gritted their teeth.
This time, Su Hetai personally went out, led all the soldiers with 9,000 soldiers and horses, and rushed to the east with ten cannons, and Su Hetai made up his mind to destroy this Ming army.
When Su Hetai led the Qing army to two miles away from the Ming army, he stopped.
Su Hetai ordered to set up the cannons first, and the cavalry rushed up from three sides, with the cannons as cover.
Suhetai's strategy can be said to be very perfect.
But what he didn't know was that his every move was watched by Daniel Zhang and others.
Seeing the arrangement of the Qing army, Daniel Zhang knew that the Qing army wanted to bombard himself with artillery.
"All the cannons are ready, blow up the cannons of the Tartars for me." Daniel Zhang ordered.
At this time, the Qing army had also surrounded from three sides, and Daniel Zhang still said that he would come closer before shooting.
At this time, only a loud noise was heard, and a flower shell exploded in the middle of the artillery camp of the Qing army.
Daniel Zhang picked up the telescope and saw that it missed, and then the second shell also flew out, and there was another loud bang.
This time, one of the Qing army's cannons was blown up.
Then more than a dozen loud bangs rang out together, and the cannon position on the opposite side suddenly filled with gunsmoke.
Half a minute later, another twenty shells fired.
After this round of cannons, no more artillery was fired, and when the smoke cleared, Daniel Zhang became happy when he saw it.
The cannons on the opposite side have been blown away, and they will no longer pose a threat to themselves.
At this time, those cavalry also rushed over, and as soon as they reached five hundred meters, the soldiers of the Zhou family army began to shoot.
Fully automatic machine guns also began to fire, and the cavalry fell from their horses like broken sacks.
The Qing army seemed to be really not afraid of death, and they kept rushing to this side.
When they reached two hundred meters, the horses tripped over the pits, and the men fell off their horses.
The soldiers did not spare the men who had fallen off their horses, and swept away them with their guns.
This is an unequal war, this is a war of hot weapons and cold weapons, this is a war without suspense.
Soon the gunfire died out.
Xiang Shaoyun led a division of soldiers out of the trenches and towards the Qing army.
There were also some Qing soldiers who were lucky enough to not die and were killed by Xiang Shaoyun's soldiers.
When Xiang Shaoyun walked to the middle of the camp of the Qing army, the war was over.
Xiang Shaoyun ordered the soldiers to start cleaning the battlefield and counting the number of people.
At this time, three living Qing soldiers were brought up by soldiers, and Xiang Shaoyun could not speak Manchu, so he said to them: "Do any of you know how to speak the official language of the Ming Dynasty?" ”
"I will!" I didn't expect that there was really a person who could speak official language.
"Who are the top officials of your group of Qing troops? What's the name and where is it now? ”
"Our highest official is Gushan Ezhen Su Hetai, who was killed by your cannon just now."
Hearing this, Xiang Shaoyun was depressed for a while, and continued to ask, "How many centaurs are you besieging this time?" Who is the leader? ”
"There are 70,000 troops besieged this time, and the supreme commander is the general of the Blue Banner Abatai."
Abatai, Xiang Shaoyun knows a little about this person, don't look at his old age, but he is still a good hand at fighting.
Xiang Shaoyun waved his hand at the soldiers and said, press them down and imprison them, and send them back to Xingjing to work as coolies in the future.
Soon the battlefield was cleaned up, and this time more than 8,600 Tartars were destroyed, and together with the previous two times, more than 13,000 Tartars were annihilated.
When Xiang Shaoyun returned to the camp to tell Daniel Zhang the good news, Daniel Zhang was also very happy.
The Zhou family army did not lose a single soldier and killed so many Tartars, which is simply unprecedented.
But when he heard that there were 70,000 horses and a leader named Abatai in this siege, Daniel Zhang became cautious again.
It seems that there will be a fierce battle in the future, Daniel Zhang thought to himself.
In the big tent of the Qing army's military camp, when Abatai heard that his Gushan Ezhen Su and Tai died.
