Zhang Cheng galloped on his horse, with Chen Zhong on the outside of him, one horse's head ahead of him. A group of guards used their bodies to isolate Zhang Cheng from the Qing army to protect his safety.
They held the reins tightly with their left hands, clamped the horse's belly with both legs, and raised the three-eyed cannons in their right hands. The sound exploded one after another. As the fireworks flashed, lead bullets flew out of the mouth of the cannons.
Clouds of smoke rose up, eventually converging into a large piece of smoke that slowly dispersed in the air. Zhang Cheng led his cavalry to pass by the Qing army's formation in an instant, followed by a plume of smoke that lingered for a long time.
On the front line of Jiazhuang's foreign propaganda army, various cavalry teams attacked one after another. Like Zhang Cheng, they rushed forward two or thirty steps in front of the Qing army's array. They wielded three-eyed muskets and bombarded them. The horses did not stop, and they flew away in a cloud of dust.
Afterwards, they all rushed back to their respective formations.
Zhang Cheng ran back to the south gate of Jiazhuang, rode his horse and looked back at the Qing army array not far away, and couldn't help but think of Xu Zhimo's poem:
"Quietly I leave, just as quietly I came;
I will wield the three-eyed blunderbuss and not bring back a single blunderbuss bullet."
…………
Outside Jiazhuang, the artillerymen of the Ming army's descendants in front of the Qing army's array were loading ammunition in a panic under the urging and coercion of the Qing army's archers behind the shield carts against the rockets launched by the Xuan army.
Many of them were unfamiliar with these operations. At this time, they were forced by the Qing army. In order to survive, they came to the front of the battle tremblingly. Most of them had not finished loading ammunition.
I saw smoke and dust rising from the Xuan army's defense line opposite, and groups of cavalry were rushing towards me. Their faces were full of panic. In the past few days, they had also helped the Qing army to attack the city with artillery. They had never encountered anyone who dared to attack.
Ming army, something really strange happened today.
At a distance of more than two hundred steps, the war horses galloped with all their strength, and they arrived in an instant. Before the artillerymen and artillerymen of the Ming army had time to react, the cavalry of the Xuan army on the opposite side had already rushed in front of them.
Twenty to thirty steps away, the cavalry of the Xuan army passed by at high speed, and the three-eyed muskets exploded continuously. Most of the Ming army's artillerymen who dropped soldiers in front of the Qing army array were knocked down by the muskets before they could react.
There were also many bullets fired directly at the shield carts, making a series of "crackling" sounds. Many of the shield carts were riddled with holes, and the Qing archers hiding behind screamed in agony.
The sudden attack of the knights of the Xuan army dealt the most fatal blow to the Ming army's artillerymen, who had already suffered heavy casualties in the confrontation. The Qing army generals had no choice but to send an order to them to retreat first.
After a while, the reorganized Qing army slowly approached the Xuan Army's front line again.
Outside the camp of Jia Zhuangxuan's army, the Qing army's shield chariots were densely surrounded on three sides and slowly approaching. Their shield chariots were next to each other, with only less than a foot of aisle left in between.
One hundred and fifty steps!
Suddenly, the passionate sound of war drums came from the Qing army formation, and the Qing soldiers hiding behind the shield vehicles shouted loudly, as if to cheer themselves up.
The coated Aha and the auxiliary soldiers pushed the shield car forward with a roar. In the sound of shouts, all the flags in the Qing army's array behind the shield car were raised high, and it was suddenly as dark as a dark cloud.
Like a wave, the Qing soldiers from three sides surrounded and rushed toward the Xuan army's camp overwhelmingly.
…………
"Brothers, please stay calm. When the Tatar soldiers get close and hear my order, we will fire again!"
Cui Shijie, the commander of the sentry, stared at the Qing army's shield chariots hurriedly approaching outside the earthen wall, watching the flags of their chariots rushing in like an ocean. In the cold weather, he couldn't help but sweat on his head and shouted loudly.
In Xuan Dajun's defense line, the gaps in the earthen wall are equipped with No. 4 Buddha Wolf machine guns and Tiger Crouching cannons. Each gap is equipped with two to three guns. The gunners are nervously loading ammunition and fixing the artillery.
Cui Shijie's sentry was also arranged in this way, and the musketry soldiers also maintained their respective positions. A musket was poked out from behind the earth wall, aiming at the Qing army approaching from the opposite side.
There are three flat passages on the defense line of the left post of the right-wing battalion in Xuanzhen, one on the far left, one on the far right facing the south gate of Jiazhuang, and one in the middle. The rest are built with earthen walls, and there are more in the front.
It's a series of trenches.
The passages between these earthen walls are guarded by artillery, with musketry soldiers behind each earthen wall assisting in guarding. There are also groups of shield soldiers and long gunmen responsible for close combat.
Tian Mingyu is the team manager of Team C of Zuo Senjia. He left Huang An's Third Class A, the first Class A's leader is Gou Changsheng, and the Second Class A's leader is Zheng Youjin.
Behind the earthen wall, Captain Tian Ming encountered two armored musketry soldiers under his command who were waiting in full formation. They set up their muskets on the earthen wall and nervously watched the Qing army's shield vehicles approaching.
Cui Shijie's left sentry has a total of one hundred gunmen, who are distributed behind earthen walls. They are responsible for attacking the enemy from a distance. There are also fifty sword and shield soldiers and spearmen, who are responsible for engaging the enemy in close combat.
There is another group of gunners. They have finished loading and are just waiting for the order to fire. The Tiger Crouching Cannon is loaded with shotgun shells, while the Folan Machine is loaded with a large shell and a bunch of small shells in a mixed manner. The big shell is in front and the shotgun is in the back.
back.
Cui Shijie, the sentry commander, looked at the power of the Qing army on the other side of the earth wall and broke into a cold sweat. He inhaled and shouted back and forth: "Boys, don't panic, stay calm for me, wait until the Tatars are close."
Now, if you hear the order and fire the cannon, whoever fires the cannon first will be beheaded, don’t be afraid, just stay calm!"
In the blink of an eye, the densely packed shield vehicles of the Qing army rushed closer to more than a hundred steps in front of the Xuan Army's earthen wall defense line. The trenches blocked the progress of the shield vehicles. Some of the shield vehicles even advanced too fast and fell down before they could stop in time.
into the trench.
Fortunately, the distance was not enough to shoot, so the Xuan army did not fire cannons and cannons. This also surprised the attacking Qing army. According to their experience, at this distance, other Ming troops had already fired cannons and cannons.
Why is it so quiet on the other side? Aren't the artillery and rockets just fierce?
The sound of war drums from behind the Qing army's formation came again. The shield cars at the passage continued to move forward, while those blocked in front of the ditch stopped there.
Behind the shield chariot, the Qing army's archers spread out in formation, and under the orders of each division's Bo Shiku, they opened their bows and set arrows. The sound of "...swish...swish..." was immediately heard.
A hundred steps away, the bows and arrows can be thrown to almost cover the Xuan army's defense line. The arrows that cover the sky and the sun are shot into the air, and then fall down in unison.
The advantage of projectile is that it can shoot very far, its power is amazing, and it has a very powerful deterrent effect, but its lethality is much worse. The arrow is shot diagonally into the air ahead, and after exhaustion, it falls diagonally from the air, and its lethality is
The force is generated by the force of falling.
Even if it hits everyone's body, it is difficult to penetrate deeply and most of them will not be fatal. Moreover, almost all the soldiers of the Xuan Army have helmets. Therefore, although the arrows thrown by the Qing army are numerous and powerful, the sergeants on the Xuan Army's defense line are not.
Don't look flustered.
The guards held up their shields to block the arrows thrown by the Qing army for Cui Shijie. He looked at the Qing army's shield car advancing from the reserved passage and shouted loudly: "Artillery team, go tell the gunner that the Tatars are nearly 80
Just let me hit his shield chariot in the next step..."
He turned his head and shouted: "Listen, all gunners, the cannons are ringing, fire muskets are fired, let's beat the Tatars!"
