Chapter 77 The sound of the four strings is like cracking silk (Part 2)(1/2)
It was his assistant Fude.
"Sir, it's not good. All three city gates were blown up by barbarian thieves!"
A Gui Daili was on the spot.
"How could this happen? How could this happen?"
He grabbed Fude, "What does the green camp in the city do for? Didn't you see them coming?"
"Sir, there was a violent blizzard just now, and I couldn't see my five fingers..."
"Go away!"
Because Muzhai is located on the south bank of Lake Balikun, there are only three city gates. The street is now full of soldiers running around, and it seems that they are all preparing to go to rescue. Agui feels a little relieved, he grabbed a big dress. Slim Green Camp Soldier.
"Where are you sir?"
The green camp soldier quickly knelt down.
"Report to Lord Yang Chu, Lord Yang Chu has already gone to Ximen!"
Agui nodded and shouted at Fude: "What are you still standing there? You go to the east gate, I go to the south gate, each brings a team of troops to support the green camp!"
....
Ximen.
Looking at the huge gap that had exploded five feet wide, Se Kesena took a deep breath, and then led the six hundred soldiers of the guards to rush up.
Just now, they used the sled to arrive here quickly while the enemy was still shocked.
And that explosive made of black gunpowder collapsed the entire city gate and the city walls on both sides, and killed all the green camp soldiers gathered in the city gate tower on the wooden door, shaking them.
However, the enemy's military camp was arranged according to the city wall. After a brief shock, it immediately rushed over from all directions.
Unlike the Eight Banners Firearms Battalion equipped with a large number of firearms, Yang Chu's Green Camp soldiers only had a small number of coercion guns, and the large number of them were big swords, spears, bows and arrows.
Yang Chu, a representative figure of the Yang family in Gansu, and the Yang family in Gansu is the true descendant of the Yang family in the Song Dynasty. Yang Jiamo, who served as the general of Gansu in the late Ming Dynasty, was an outstanding representative.
Yang Chu is a member of Yang Jiamo and a representative figure of the Yang family in Guazhou.
For the Truqin guard group, they were all holding new-style rifles with bayonets at this time, but after they entered the city gate, they were directly opposite the street leading to the official residence and the grain warehouse, and on both sides were connected. Going to the military camp.
At present, a large number of enemies are pouring in from all three directions!
However, thick snow fell outside and inside the city, even Se Kese and others rushed in as infantry, so the enemy was naturally the same.
At that moment, Se Kese divided the 600 people into three groups, and personally led two hundred people to rush towards the Han army flag opposite. One group of two hundred people dealt with the Green Camp soldiers on the left, and the other group dealt with the Green Camp soldiers on the right. p>
Since it is a temporary camp, except for a few official residences and grain warehouses, the city is empty.
Stepping on the knee-deep snow, roughly in a team of twenty people, walking neatly, the firearms camp of the capital, which also rushed over with muskets.
Although it is called the Beijing Firearms Battalion, they are still holding a mesoft gun. The best range of this kind of musket is about one hundred meters. For the new Musket of the Truchens, it can still aim and shoot at 300 meters.
At this time, although the straggler-style tactics began to appear in Europe, in most cases, they were still a tactic of queuing up and shooting, and the Qing soldiers far away in foreign lands were no exception.
What's more, even in the firearm battalion, its musket configuration is only 30%, and long spears and swords and shields still occupy the other 20%. The one at the forefront is the coercion soldiers, followed by the spear soldiers, and the swords and shields are interspersed and arranged.
/p>
Of course, in Agui's mind, he can first shoot with a musket, which can knock down some enemies. When the enemy is panicked, he will then rush up the most elite sword and shield soldiers, which he thinks is as fast as possible, and fight to the end.
Sacrifice a little, as long as you rush into the enemy formation, you will be your own world.
"Bang..."
At this moment, the musket on the opposite side began to shoot!
As the counselor, Agui carried a firearm camp, but there were also one hundred Manchurian Eight Banners to protect his safety. Although he was inconvenient to walk in the snow, he still rode on his horse.
"Can you still shoot at a distance of one hundred feet?"
After seeing this scene, A Gui's face turned pale.
What surprised him even more.
The enemy's first row can still be launched while walking!
"You can fire three rounds in a row without loading ammunition! No wonder even Yongchang and Salar were defeated by them!"
After three rounds, the first row immediately flashed to the back and gave the position to the second row and the third row, and then took turns to shoot!
"Room up and lift the gun!"
Agui shouted.
The Qing army generally configured gun lifting, with a range similar to that of Truqin's new rifles, but since there are not many configurations of the mesh rope gun, there are definitely not many gun lifting. Moreover, in the organization of the firearm battalion, three people need to be responsible for one.
Pole lift gun.
Just as the opponent was busy laying out troops, the conical bullets of the two hundred Truqin's guard soldiers were still shooting slowly. After a gunshot, at least 30% of the people fell down in the firearm battalion.
The pike-carrying soldier who was rushing over was also a little stunned.
"Bang..."
It seemed that he had seen the movements on the opposite side. This time, the soldiers in the first row of Truchen suddenly knelt down and then fired at the same time as the soldiers in the second row!
At this time, a few guns were fired. Two Truchen soldiers were shot and fell down here, while the pikes, pikes, and confuses on the opposite side fell down a large area.
"Bang..."
Truchen soldiers did not stop and continued to shoot.
"Bang..."
After three consecutive rounds of shooting, all the gun-carrying soldiers who just rushed up were accounted for!
Two rows of soldiers quickly dodged to the back and gave the position to the people behind. After going back and forth, they even killed Agui's cavalry in one breath!
"Kill!"
At this time, Agui's Eight Banners Cavalry had killed several Qing soldiers of the Han flag who were in a panic, but they could not stop their determination to flee backwards.
Agui's face turned cold and he was actually ready to let his Eight Banners of Manchuria attack the opposite infantry!
"Bang..."
However, the muskets are ruthless. After seeing the opposite cavalry, they acted as usual. The first row knelt down and arranged in the second row in a row, so that they could completely cover the cross section of the street.
"Bang..."
"Bang..."
After the three-wheeled musket, there were very few cavalry left in front of Agui. Fortunately, one of his personal soldiers saw the opportunity and grabbed his reins and retreated.
It happened that Truqin soldiers were changing teams at this time, and in the end Agui escaped with only a few personal guards.
However, he had not escaped much and met Fude, who had also retreated with a bruised nose and a swollen face. Without asking, you know that the situation at the East Gate is similar. At the moment, you can only hope for the Green Camp soldiers near the city wall.
Of course, he still has a killer.
After he retreated to the official residence, he immediately asked his personal guard to blew the trumpet and beat the drum.
Outside the city, after hearing this big drum, Qitade, who was still outside the city, had only four hundred personal guards beside him, frowned at first, and then felt relieved.
"If I guessed correctly, the military horns and drums from the city were obviously summoning the Junggar cavalry near Balikun Lake, but the snow is two feet deep, so it is not easy for them to rush over."
>
Not long after, a team of cavalry rushed over from the south bank of Lake Balikun!
Seeing this, Qitade's expression suddenly became serious.
That is not a cavalry riding a war horse, but a cavalry riding a Bactrian camel!
Camels are much taller than ordinary war horses, and their legs are naturally much longer. Although the snow is two feet deep, they can only pass their calves just now!
About a thousand camel soldiers rushed towards their cavalry team outside the city!
Of course, it cannot be said to be "rushing". Although it is only two feet deep, it is an obstacle after all. It is better to say that it is coming over rather than rushing over.
But even so, camels with an average shoulder height of more than 1.8 meters are much stronger than war horses with an average shoulder height of only about 1.5 meters. In such snow, war horses can only be described as trekking.
"Dropping off all!"
Qitad immediately issued an order.
Sure enough, when the camel soldiers came over, they probably were afraid of Truchen's firearms, and they just leaned around them from a distance, most likely to start a charge when they walked to a certain distance!
Four hundred personal soldiers surrounded Qitade and the war horses in the middle, and then formed a simple formation in the snow.
When they could see the cavalry on the camel, the distance between the two sides was less than three hundred meters!
The camel trotted!
Suddenly, a sensation of snowflakes rose in front of them!
"Shoot again if you see it"
Qitad was not panicked. As a child of the herdsman, he knew the temperament of camels. Although camels are gentler than horses and are easy to control, once they are frightened, they are still shocked scenes that they have never seen before.
Run faster than horses!
