Chapter 40: Moment

A black wave line between the white sky and the earth attacked in the direction of the city wall, with the sound of thundering horse hooves and the roar of the Qing army.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The impact of thousands of cavalry was truly astonishing. The roar of thousands of war horses as they ran was even more heart-stopping. Even the calm ground shook with the horses' hooves.

Between the cavalry of the Qing army, there were dozens of red, black, and yellow pennants. From a distance, they looked like dark clouds covering the sun. When they got closer, they could only see a patch of red, black, and yellow flags. When they got closer, they could not be seen.

Only large groups of horses came running wildly, but no one could be seen at all. These Mongolian Eight Banner cavalrymen have been on horseback since they were young.

When they grow up, they will naturally "kneed and hide". They will lay their bodies on the belly of the horse to avoid possible attacks. Moreover, because there are a large number of replacement empty horses charging with them, looking around, they only see the herd of horses.

It came like a surging wave. I don't know how many cavalry there were, and I don't know which horse carried the enemy's horse.

Faced with such an impact, the phalanx that originally seemed to be bunched up suddenly became a little commotion, but perhaps it was because the backbone of them had seen blood before and had "killed" the Qing army in the camp.

Still barely holding on.

"Mom, something..."

When the thunderous sound of horse hooves came, Liu Jie only felt that his throat was stiff, and even his legs were a little tight and numb, as if he was holding back his urine, but he still held on tightly.

Holding a spear.

Compared to others, Zhu Guoqiang's situation was slightly better. He turned around and saw the musketeers behind him - these two thousand or so musketeers had not even had time to train, and at most they were more than a hundred captured previously.

Each person put a few muskets, that's all. Now even if they carry muskets, they are still good. What they can really rely on is not them, but the guards with Mosin Nagant beside them.

"Use the flag beside me as your leader. No shots are allowed until the flag is lowered! Anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded!"

"Those who disobey orders will be killed!"

As the soldiers beside him repeated the order, Zhu Guoqiang picked up the handheld laser rangefinder.

"2000 meters!"

Staring at the distance displayed on the rangefinder, Zhu Guoqiang shouted, his hand holding the laser rangefinder began to sweat, and his breathing became rapid.

Right in front of the square formation, 80 soldiers holding rifles lined up in a long line. As the prince's guards, when they heard the prince's shouts, their hearts tightened. They even held their guns.

My hands were also sweating a little.

"Everyone prepare!"

The sound in his ears made Zhu Guoqiang swallow nervously, and the riflemen put their rifles on their shoulders and aimed at the distant target according to their prior training.

"Three points and one line, aiming..."

Holding the rifle, Yu Xiaobao murmured in his mind about the previous training. Even though there was only one day of training, he still figured out what the sight was and what the front sight was. Even the sight was set at "10".

in position.

"1500!"

Zhu Guoqiang shouted at the top of his lungs. As the distance got closer and closer, everyone's expressions became extremely nervous. The riflemen who stood in front and lined up to take aim turned pale with nervousness.

Not to mention them, even Zhu Guoqiang himself has a chill down his back.

"1200..."

"1100...preparation"

Finally, at the moment when the distance displayed in the eyepiece became one thousand, Zhu Guoqiang roared.

"put!"

The roar behind them made the tense riflemen's hearts suddenly relax. They were originally extremely nervous, but they pulled the trigger the moment they heard the order.

"Bang...bang...bang"

Although the gunfire was uneven, for the under-trained Guardsmen, this first shot was very good, at least it was a neat volley.

volley!

This is not the suggestion of netizens, but Zhu Mingzhong’s idea. After missing the target with a Mosin Nagant for the first time, he figured out one thing. Unless he takes a month or two to train, even these

No matter how ahead of the times, the Mosinagan the soldiers carried was just like a fire stick, just like the Qing Dynasty in the late Qing Dynasty.

Just like the army, millions of rounds of ammunition were fired, and the Eight-Nation Allied Forces suffered almost no casualties. Instead of letting these guys who can't find the target fire their guns randomly, it is better to let them practice how to adjust the sights, learn to aim, shoot, and then focus on listening.

Fire on command, using intensive rifle volley firepower to compensate for the gap in shooting accuracy.

One thousand meters!

This was decided based on the bullet power of the Mosin Nagan rifle. Even at a distance of a thousand meters, it still maintains thousands of joules of energy and can still penetrate an ordinary steel plate four to five millimeters thick, which is enough to attack anyone wearing armor.

The Qing army caused effective damage.

So one thousand meters is the distance from which they shoot. With the help of the laser rangefinder, they can get the accurate distance, and the rest is the aiming and shooting of the eighty riflemen.

Eighty rifles!

This is the weapon that Zhu Guoqiang brought from Russia. With 80 rounds of bullets, it is inevitable that some of them will fly. When the bullets hit the cavalry coming in like a wave, they just threw a small stone on the wave.

It didn't cause any movement.

Zhu Guoqiang would have even doubted the effectiveness of this salvo if he hadn't seen through the telescope that some of the cavalrymen who were charging at high speed seemed to have fallen off their horses or some of their horses had fallen.

"Whoosh...whoosh..."

Thousands of meters apart and with the thundering sound of horse hooves in their ears, the Qing troops did not hear the gunshots at all. Even if they heard the gunshots, they would not react. After all, they were so far away.

The reason why they are leaning on their sides now is nothing more than a natural instinct.

Yes, even though they are hiding on the side of the horse, their eyes are still staring ahead, waiting for the distance to approach, and then when they are close enough, they will draw their bows and shoot arrows. After only three arrows, these Nikan phalanxes can be defeated

It becomes chaotic, and then you can charge into the formation with your carbine.

Three arrows now!

This is the horseback Kung Fu that the Eight Banners Cavalry is best at.

Close...

Just as Battle was staring at the Ming army formation in the distance, he suddenly had an illusion, as if he was being stared at by a pack of wolves on the grassland.

Why do you feel this way?

Before he could react, he felt something pass by him, and the sound that reached his ears was a bit like the whizzing sound of an arrow passing by.

What is this sound?

Is it an arrow? But it's so far away, how is it possible?

Before he could figure out what was going on.

The next moment, I was stunned by what I saw out of the corner of my eye. I saw several people falling off their horses suddenly as if they were hit by arrows, and some horses even seemed to have stumbled on the stumbling ropes.

Generally, if someone suddenly falls to the ground, the person on the horse will also be thrown to the ground violently.

Before the person who was thrown to the ground could react quickly, he was trampled by the hoof of the horse that caught up from behind. Even though he was wearing heavy armor, after being trampled by the horse's hoof one after another, his intestines and other internal organs still collapsed, and the blood and

The feces and urine stained red on the gray-black ice and snow...

What's going on?
