Chapter 125 Qianlong: Is this my trump card?(1/3)
Bang bang bang bang!
The salvos of thousands of muskets suddenly exploded into a row of white smoke on the Ming army's line.
Thousands of projectiles formed a dense barrage, and the metal storm swept across the line of coated troops!
Compared with the firepower caused by the three-stage attack of the coated army.
This extremely dense firepower, coupled with the distance of twenty steps - at this distance, the possibility of bullets missing is extremely low.
The killing effect produced is very terrifying.
Immediately, almost all the coated soldiers in the first row fell to the ground. Many of the coated soldiers who fell on their backs had blood holes in their chests, and blood was flowing outward.
The first wave of 3,000 coated soldiers were stunned.
Such a dense burst of firepower was completely beyond their imagination.
The Ming army faced musket fire and walked to a distance of twenty steps from the coat army and opened fire.
It's for this effect.
and
There's a lot more they can do at this distance.
After emptying the bullets from the flintlock gun in his hand.
Yang Fang roared loudly.
"Grenade! Grenade!!"
With the sharp sound of suona.
All the Ming soldiers pulled out the grenades stuck in their waist belts, lit the grenades, and then threw them forward with all their strength.
This wooden-handled grenade can be easily thrown a distance of about thirty steps.
Thousands of grenades fell from the sky, and continuous explosions sounded.
The coatmen of the coat army who were still in a state of confusion were blown up until they were running away with their heads in their hands.
Beep beep beep!!
The sharp and urgent sound of the suona penetrated everything on the battlefield.
This is the marching signal to launch a hand-to-hand combat charge.
"Long live the Ming Dynasty, long live the Ming Dynasty! Kill the enemy!"
"Kill!"
Suddenly, roars of various accents sounded.
The soldiers of the Ming army held flintlock rifles with bayonets in their hands and rushed forward, roaring.
The red wave was like a roaring tsunami, and the thin defense line of the coat army was like a thin embankment, shattered by the towering red wave.
Phew!
Phew!
Most of the coat soldiers who turned around and fled were stabbed with bayonets in the back.
After being bombarded by artillery and fired by volleys of twenty-foot musketry, the three thousand coated troops encountered the most violent hand-to-hand charge.
Already discouraged.
The dream of becoming an Eight Banners Master has long been replaced by the instinct to escape.
The surviving soldiers screamed and threw away the muskets in their hands, turned around and ran back with their heads in their hands. The Eight Banner Supervisory Team behind them was also frightened and did not stop them at all. Instead, they turned around and fled back with them.
This escape.
They dispersed the formation of 3,000 coated soldiers who were serving as a reserve force and preparing for the second wave of attack.
"Long live the Ming Dynasty!"
The Ming soldiers who shouted long live didn't even bother to throw away their grenades.
Holding a bayonet, he charged towards the chaotic reserves of the coated army.
The bullet is a coward, the bayonet is a hero!
Under the attack of Ming army soldiers.
The second wave of coated troops also collapsed without any suspense.
A charge.
Defeated two waves of coat troops.
Qianlong, who was watching the battle with a telescope on a hillside, saw his blood pressure rising and his temples pounding.
"Waste! Waste! They are all waste!!"
Qianlong suddenly dropped the telescope in his hand to the ground.
Swearing angrily.
The Qing civil and military officials around him were worried.
What if this old man gets angry again?
"How could this be so? How could this be so?!"
Qianlong's hands were shaking.
The coated army, for which he had placed high hopes, collapsed at the first touch.
This is a trump card that he spent tens of millions of taels of silver to build.
The effect of fighting against the Ming army
It’s not much different from Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp.
This gap caused Qianlong's head to buzz and his chest to feel tight. Fortunately, Elden, the first-class guard at the side, had quick eyesight and quick hands to support the old man.
Otherwise, if the Qing emperor fell to the ground, not to mention what he would do if he fell out, the blow to morale alone would be fatal - everyone is watching.
"emperor."
The ministers rushed forward eagerly.
Qianlong took deep breaths and stretched out his hand to stop the ministers.
He stared at the battlefield with a gloomy expression.
"The coat army retreated to reorganize, and the cavalry was dispatched to stampede!"
"In addition, let the Baoji army reorganize and then charge for a while. Just like the Ming army, they should wait twenty steps before firing a volley!"
Qianlong gritted his teeth and said.
Fukangan opened his mouth.
He wanted to speak but stopped.
How much courage does it take to be able to withstand artillery fire, form a dense horizontal formation, and then fire a salvo twenty steps away from the enemy?
Do you have those wrappers?
Fukangan sighed inwardly.
The Ming army that could do this was definitely the most courageous army he had ever seen.
and
The coat army has not undergone similar training.
I'm afraid that they will be defeated in the process of advancing, right?
Tap tap tap!
More than two thousand cavalry rushed from one side of the defeated army.
"Hollow Phalanx!"
Yang Fang immediately ordered.
The bayonets of the dense hollow phalanx were slanted forward. Under the threat of grenades, these cavalry failed to take advantage of the chaos and killed them. They just circled around the hollow phalanx of the Ming army.
At this time, the soldiers in the Ming Army's hollow square formation began to load.
Soon bursts of gunfire erupted.
In a duel between muskets and cavalry's bows, it is obvious who suffers.
After losing dozens of cavalry, the Ming army grenadiers began to use individual grenade launchers to throw grenades. In order to reduce logistical pressure, the shells thrown by individual grenade launchers are now also hand grenades, which only need to be thrown behind the wooden handle.
Just install a tail fin with propellant on the tail of the grenade.
Under the bombardment of dense artillery shells.
The Qing cavalry quickly became confused.
To be continued...
