Everyone was dumbfounded, whether it was the Ming army or the Qing army.
This small army of civilian husbands and servants was actually so fierce.
The three hundred cavalrymen were killed in the blink of an eye. Because they were high-value targets, most of the pistols went towards them. The remaining eight hundred infantrymen fled in all directions after being blown up by grenades.
This was the first time they experienced such a horrific explosion.
In this era, there were basically no explosive bombs and grenades. The explosion of this kind of grenade can scare people crazy for the first time. Fireballs and shrapnel, shock waves and smoke. People who are blown away, broken limbs, broken armor. Caused extreme
Massive casualties, chaos and panic. They suddenly lost their formation and organization.
Immediately after, thirty cavalrymen drew out their modern sabers and rushed in.
The fleeing infantrymen became lambs to be slaughtered.
These cavalrymen rode majestic war horses, and their shoulders were generally more than a foot taller than the best war horses of Jiannu.
The Mongolians and Jiannu's eyes turned red when they saw this. There are nomadic people who don't like horses. They all muttered in their hearts, is Dingyuan Marquis so rich?
Give his slave such a good horse to ride.
The seventy cavalrymen behind were originally protecting the convoy, but when they saw no one came to rescue them, they were all frightened. They immediately rushed up and chased the infantrymen with the Han army flag on horseback. The revolvers kept ringing.
, a saber in one hand.
The entire front battlefield turned into a slaughterhouse. These heavy war horses were so heavy that if they stepped on them with a hoof, their heads would be crushed by the hoof.
Huang Taiji was dumbfounded. Although the Han Banners were not as powerful as the Eight Banners, these people had defected to Jianzhou very early. They were all locals from Liaodong. They had grown up in a bitter cold land, and their living habits were almost the same as those of the Jurchens.
I didn't expect that when I met a group of civilians, they would be so vulnerable.
The most terrifying thing is that these people only wore cotton coats and no armor. During the battle, a large number of bows and arrows were shot at them. Many of them were like hedgehogs. The military coats were full of arrows. But they did not react at all.
Keep cutting and killing.
These porcupine-like warriors, like gods, completely overwhelmed the Han army flag.
Even if a spear is stabbed on the body, there will be no blood, and it can be felt that after penetrating the cotton coat, it cannot penetrate. Their horses are all covered with horse clothes, only four legs are exposed. These horse clothes can also block arrows and arrows.
Knives and guns.
What they don't know is that there is a modern fabric called anti-cut and stab-proof fabric. Cold weapons are completely useless against clothes made of this kind of fabric.
A strong wind blew away the smoke, revealing the battlefield conditions.
Eight hundred infantrymen were killed by a hundred cavalrymen. The remaining three hundred or so people finally escaped. They threw away everything they could to reduce the weight and ran back.
These cavalrymen just looked at their backs coldly and did not pursue them.
Instead, the peasants on the carriage pulled out their rifles from under the carriage and started shooting at these people.
These rifles were issued just before the departure. They are the latest rifles. In fact, they are basic versions of imitations of the old slides of the Republic of China, the 1888 German Commission rifles.
In the early days, these rifles used full metal case bullets with mercury fulminate and black powder propellant. Yang Fan’s current technology has no problem at all. After all, metal bullets have been used on hand-cranked Gatling guns for a long time.
It's just that the technology of the five-round magazine is still not up to standard, and the bullets are severely jammed. Therefore, these rifles fire one round and load one round. However, the ejection hook has become practical and can automatically eject the case.
Despite this, the rate of fire reached eight rounds per minute.
One hundred and fifty rifles opened fire, and they shot at the fleeing Han banner infantry from behind. The training cavalrymen of the Xinghe regiment, who had fired and killed before, took out their cigarettes and lit each other's fire. While watching the militiamen
Shooting, smoking and chatting.
They have the feeling of taking a cigarette and taking a break after finishing their work.
Their horses also had short-barreled carbine-style rifles. However, the barrel was cut off by a small section in order to make it easier to carry on the horse, and the range was affected. Therefore, they left the chasing and shooting of deserters to the civilian men.
During the militia training, the civilians also fired thousands of rounds of muskets and thousands of rounds of metal cartridge case rifles. There was no problem at all. They were able to skillfully use this latest rifle.
These civilians lived in groups of five, shooting freely.
Bang bang bang! With every gunshot, someone came down, twitched for a while and became motionless.
These people ran very fast, running a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye, leaving hundreds of corpses within a hundred meters. Seeing them running away a hundred meters, Li Youfang breathed a sigh of relief.
The accuracy of a musket is basically within 100 meters. Even the best matchlock gun will not go in a straight line when the lead bullet is fired at 100 meters. No one knows where it will hit. So, the battlefield is that if you hit it, you will definitely hit it.
Not what you're aiming for.
But the next moment, bang bang bang!, gunshots continued to sound. The militiamen just adjusted the angle of the ruler and continued shooting.
This round of shooting frightened the deserters to death. They squeezed out the last of their strength and ran back like crazy.
Under the intensive shooting, dozens of people fell down under each round of 150 rounds of bullets. They ran 300 meters away, and only about 30 people were left. As a result, here
Still shooting.
Both the Jiannu and the Mongols were stunned. What kind of firearm was this? It was still shooting from such a distance.
It wasn't until the last person was shot at by more than a hundred rifles and more than a dozen bullets in his body that he was basically beaten to pieces and fell to the ground. Only then did everyone realize that the entire Jia La of the Han Army Flag had been killed.
.
Yu Youming saw that the work was done, spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth, jumped off the carriage, and stamped it out with his leather boots. This was a rule set by the master to prevent fires on the grassland.
He picked up a rifle from the car and walked towards Huang Taiji's yellow umbrella.
The white-armed soldiers surrounding Huang Taiji immediately surrounded Huang Taiji, and dozens of large iron-clad shields surrounded Huang Taiji.
Four hundred thousand people were watching this thin, tall, one-armed man walking towards Huang Taiji's position alone. This man was carrying a rifle, as calmly as if he was going hunting in the wild.
He walked 200 meters away and stood down. He looked intently at Huang Taiji, who was surrounded by large shields. He shouted loudly: "Stay away from us. Don't say that you are not predicting what you said."
After saying that, he suddenly moved his hand and directly picked up the rifle, with the butt of the gun on his shoulder. He kept holding the rifle with one hand, controlled the gun with one arm, and quickly aimed in the direction of Huang Taiji. He fired at Huang Taiji through the gaps in the shields.
One shot.
This rifle is a rifled gun. The maximum range of the scale made in Hanyang is 1800 meters, the actual maximum range is 1300 meters, and the effective range is 300 meters. After all, the performance of black powder is limited. After replacing it with collodion particles, the performance can be improved.
However, the effective range of 300 meters is enough.
A round-tipped copper-lead bullet accurately passed through the gap in the shield and hit the lightning rod of Huang Taiji's gorgeous Zhenghuangqi armor with a bang.
The tassel and copper pipe of the helmet broke with a sudden sound, and the impact was huge, almost bruising Huang Taiji's neck.
Huang Taiji's fat face, his cheeks trembling uncontrollably, turned white with fear.
The one-armed man spat contemptuously, turned around and walked away.
The Eight Banners and the Mongols all stared blankly, but no one rushed forward or shot arrows.
Because they knew that even shooting arrows would have no effect. The porcupines in the distance were holding guns and looking at them with cold eyes.
