Chapter 66 Give full play to the advantages of firepower.

Cantonese and Fujianese were probably brothers and sisters in the Qing Dynasty, and they were not treated well by the upper rulers of the Qing Dynasty - even those who brought their younger brothers from Guangdong, Guangxi and Qiongzhou.

It is also the place where there were the largest number of rebellions in the Qing Dynasty, and it is also the base camp of anti-Qing underworlds such as the Heaven and Earth Society.

That's why the Qing Dynasty stationed 70,000 or 80,000 troops in Liangguang, and it also needed a Manchurian prince of Fukangan to sit in Liangguang.

Therefore, Fukangan's concern is not unreasonable - otherwise he would not be so wary of the local tyrants in Guangdong.

Now each regiment has sent the supervisors of the Eight Banners of the Han Army to prevent these Cantonese bigwigs from having any other thoughts.

A team of about 300 horses rode out.

The Eight Banners Han Army is also a member of the Eight Banners, and there are still a lot of cavalry in the three banners (white, yellow, and yellow).

The cavalry of the Eight Banners were armed with cold weapons such as bows and arrows, cavalry guns, and were covered with cotton armor, which was usually inlaid with iron plates on the inside.

Three hundred horsemen as a pick-up.

The 3,000 Green Battalion led by Yang Liufang marched forward in a strong formation.

"My lord, the Ming army is out!"

Of course, Yang Liufang also saw the movement of the Ming army.

"So loose? Is it out to find death? ”

Yang Liufang was slightly stunned.

A reaction was quick to follow.

"Raise your gun and prepare, take turns shooting!"

After Yang Liufang's order was given.

Soon, a green battalion soldier carrying a gun led to the side of the large formation facing the Ming army, and only waited for the Ming army's chasers to enter the firing range before firing fire.

"Attention, listen to my orders!"

Zeng Ah Da has only three combat teams around him.

Including himself, there are four combat teams, a total of twelve people.

Because it was a skirmisher line, the soldiers were too scattered among themselves.

Therefore, the command of the operation had to be delegated to the hands of the team leader who organized three combat squads.

As a platoon commander, it is difficult for Zeng Adaa to concentrate on commanding all the soldiers in his platoon when he is fighting, and he can only command these three-person squads around him.

Zeng Ada, while carrying a musket, trotted briskly, while staring at the Qing army gunner in front of him.

As a green battalion officer of the Qing army in front waved a small flag.

Zeng Ah yelled: "Get down!" ”

Syllable!

Soon.

The eleven hunters who followed him fell to the ground with a snap, and some of them were clever enough to lie down under the shallow ridges.

The crackling of guns rang out in turn.

Zeng Adada lay on the ground, using a ridge as a cover, turned his head slightly to look at the sky, and could see the gun whizzing past less than two meters above his head.

"One shot, two shots..."

Zeng Adaa silently counted the sound of raising the gun.

The large-caliber arquebus was very slow to load.

The barrel is too long.

It's almost the same time as loading a front-loading smoothbore gun.

Although the opposite side adopted the method of shooting in turns.

But after a round of shooting.

The smoke from the black powder used to carry the gun as a propellant will obscure the shooter's vision....

Therefore.

Just wait for this round of shooting to pass.

Wait for the opponent to reload for a second round of shots.

I don't know where the gun will go.

"It's now!"

As he counted the tenth shot, Zeng Adaa immediately waved his hand, led the combat team around him to his waist, and quickly trotted forward with a gun.

Really.

In the Qing army's military formation, it was already full of smoke.

In order to give full play to firepower, the Qing army also had tactics such as "Nine into Ten Serial Tactics" to exert firepower.

For example, Yang Liufang's rotation just now, shooting and covering the front of the big formation is an abbreviated version of the "Nine Into Ten Serial Combat Method".

After a round of gun lifting.

The dense smoke had completely obscured the Qing army's large array.

Yang Liufang, who was in the big array, also had some difficulty seeing the movements of the Ming army in front of him.

But before that.

He saw it very clearly.

Gunshots just rang out.

The Ming army on the opposite side fell to the ground.

"It can't be so accurate, right? Is it God forbid? ”

Yang Liufang looked at the sky.

Saying...

If only there was God.

Will it bless the Great Qing?

Yang Liufang was suddenly excited.

The idea.

It's just too rebellious.

He hurriedly gathered his thoughts.

Squint your eyes and look ahead.

On the broad surface of the Pearl River, the river wind struck, blowing away the smoke and making Yang Liufang stunned.

As the smoke dissipates.

He suddenly saw it.

The Ming army hunters, who were still more than a hundred paces away before, no longer knew when they had broken through to a distance of fifty or sixty paces.

Syllable!

Bang Bang Bang!

A succession of gunfire rang out.

More than 200 Ming army hunters aimed their muskets at the Qing soldiers who were carrying their guns.

At a distance of about seventy or eighty meters.

The hit rate of the flintlock pistol is actually much higher than one might think.

This is especially true when the flintlock pistol does not fire a single bullet, but a large one with two small shotguns.

at this distance.

Those green battalion soldiers who were only wearing linen clothes and were almost armless would not be able to stand up alive as long as they were hit.

With the sound of gunshots.

Suddenly, dozens of green battalion gunmen collapsed to the ground.

Before waiting for any reaction from the Qing army's side.

After firing the projectile of the flintlock pistol in his hand, the Ming army hunter did not continue to load, but lay on the ground, and one soldier in the three-person combat team was responsible for carrying the grenadier, and the other two were carrying cannonballs.

Soon.

The hand-held grenadier is unfolded, with a square spacer underneath to prevent the recoil from driving the barrel into the soft mud, and the gun carriage and barrel form a triangle, as well as an adjuster to adjust the angle of the shell.

"Seventy meters! Angle sixty! Six rapid-fire! Begin! ”

Zeng Ah Da estimated the distance.

Immediately after that, the order to shoot was given.

Bang bang bang!

The dull voice kept ringing.

A small-caliber artillery shell with a charge of about 50% larger than the standard grenade used by the Ming army was ejected, and even formed a small barrage in the air.

The Ming army hunters who were shooting did not go to check the effect of artillery fire.

It's just about reloading quickly.

According to the Code of Tactics of the Chasseur Company.

Their main purpose.

It is to quickly approach the enemy in a skirmisher formation.

All six shells carried by each combat group were then fired with grenadiers, and after exerting their firepower, they quickly retreated, leaving the battlefield to the infantry battalion.

In the south, there is a dense water network, hills, mountains, dense forests and other areas with complex terrain.

This mode of operation is more flexible and also allows the infantry battalion not to always have to be supported by an artillery battalion equipped with large-caliber shells.

Of course.

Chasseur company such a configuration.

What is needed are soldiers who are not afraid of death, full of courage and initiative and enthusiasm in battle - if it is the soldiers who come from the Strongding to fill the battle line with ducks on the shelves.

Let them fight in the form of skirmishers.

lest the soldiers scatter out.

Nine times out of ten, you won't be able to get it back....

Syllable...

Syllable...

Shells came from the sky in a steady stream, and most of them fell into the Qing army's formation.

The six long-barreled cannons were obviously taken care of.

There was even a shell that fell directly on a powder cart dragged by a mule.

"Blossom Bullet !!!!"

A terrible roar sounded in the Qing army's formation.

Didn't wait for the voice to come out.

Rumble!

The roar of shells drowned out everything.
