Duan Peng waved his fists excitedly, and smoke was still rising from the muzzle of the Lumi gun, which was about the same height as him.
Shang Yi also came over, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Duan Peng, you did a good job. The person you killed should be a Jia La E Zhen. Keep working hard."
After listening to Shang Yi's praise, Duan Peng's eyes also shone with pride. This was the first time he actually went into battle to kill the enemy. He was more excited than nervous. Then he immediately took off his backpack again.
He took out a paper-shell bullet, very skillfully broke the end of the paper shell with his mouth, poured the gunpowder into the barrel, then stuffed the remaining paper shell inside, and pushed it in with a wooden pole to compact it.
He immediately picked up a blunderbuss and looked for his next target.
This is the first battle since the Muling Army's sniper team was established. They all use the most sophisticated Rumi guns, with a range of 120 to 130 steps. Therefore, they all line up behind the musketeers.
Moreover, it is still firing while standing, so there is no conflict with the musketeers in front. At the same time, each sniper is equipped with a firing bracket, which is actually a long wooden pole about five feet high, with a pointed end at one end.
The other end is a fork. When using it, the prongs are inserted into the ground and supported by a soldier. The sniper places the Lumi gun on the fork, holds the gun and fires.
In Europe in the early sixteenth century, muskets were relatively heavy, so the bracket was also one of the must-have equipment for musketeers. Later, the muskets developed towards lightweight, and the bracket was canceled. However, equipping snipers with a bracket can ensure
Stability during launch further improves the hit rate.
In the ranks of the Qing army, there are obvious differences in armor styles, including helmets and back flags, among Gushan, Jia La, Niu Lu, and even leaders, white armor soldiers, and horse soldiers at all levels, even among groups.
It is also very easy to distinguish during the charge. This provides great convenience to the sniper team of the Muling Army. They can easily identify who is the senior and who is the junior among the Tatars. If you want to hit, hit the one with the biggest.
.
Although almost all generals of the Qing army wore three layers of heavy armor, snipers basically chose to attack on the face without any protection. Therefore, as long as they hit, they would die with a headshot. They would not even have time to grunt before falling off their horses.
At this time, in the musketeer array of the Muling Army, fire blunderbuss were still being fired in rows one after another. Although the ones fired behind were all bird blunderbuss, their range and armor-piercing power were far behind those of the Rumi blunderbuss.
, but at this time the Qing army also rushed closer, so the bird cannon can still play a certain role. Even if it cannot kill people, it will still make people feel unbearable pain, and it can also hit war horses without heavy armor.
After using paper-cased fixed bullets, the firing frequency of firecrackers has also been significantly accelerated. In the past, using the three-stage continuous fire method, an average of only five to six shots per minute could be fired, but now it can fire seven to eight shots per minute.
Guns. Moreover, the Muling Army changed guns without changing people. The soldiers did not move. The front row was responsible for firing, and the two rows behind were responsible for loading. Then the guns were passed to the soldiers in the front row, and each musketeer shot ten more times.
The team will be rotated to another one after several times, thus avoiding to a large extent the confusion caused by the musketeer switching personnel.
The Qing army was a little crazy, because this battle did not develop according to the pattern they expected. In the Qing army's expectation, although the Ming army used fire blunderbuss, they had no choice but to fight against their own cavalry.
No matter how many opportunities you have to shoot, although you will suffer a certain blow, your cavalry will still rush into the Ming army's formation with a devastating impact, smashing the Ming army into pieces, waiting for your infantry
After coming up, I have cleaned up the mess. At least in the past battlefields, it basically developed according to this model.
But this time it was completely different. The Ming army's firecrackers not only hit far, but were also dense and rotated quickly. Under the fierce blows of the Muling army's musketeers, the Qing soldiers continued to fall from their horses, and
There were many white-armored soldiers, Niu Lu Ezhen, and even Jia La Ezhen Bu Sagui, the leader of the rear team, were knocked off their horses by the Ming army.
However, the Qing army in this era is not the Eight Banners pariahs who were corrupted more than 200 years later. They are still the most capable cavalry army in the era. Although they suffered a heavy blow from the Ming army and lost their command, the others
The Qing troops were not defeated and still charged hard towards the Muling Army's position. They hoped to rush into the Muling Army's position and give full play to their melee advantage.
It's hard to tell whether the Qing army's attitude was brave or stupid, but as the Qing army's cavalry approached the position of the Muling army, the blow they received became more violent. After entering within sixty steps, the double armor, triple armor
Armor can never protect the body of a soldier. As long as they are hit by fire projectiles, they will almost without exception penetrate the heavy armor and penetrate directly into the flesh.
Although within this distance, the Qing army's bows and arrows can be effective, there are indeed many Qing soldiers who fired pellets rashly, bent their bows and arrows on horseback, and fired at the Muling army, but they were placed in front of the musketeers.
The large shield played an excellent protective role, because the musket was mounted in a groove and fired, so even the entire head was within the protection range of the shield, and each musketeer was equipped with an eight-river iron rim.
The Qing army's bows and arrows had almost no damage to the Muling army's musketeers. Only three of them were injured by the arrows, but they still gritted their teeth and persisted.
With bursts of huge roars of firecrackers, Qin sounded the prelude to death. The Qing soldiers screamed one by one and were shot through the body. Some people were even hit by the powerful impact and flew out from their horses.
The hit parts all opened a huge bloody hole. At the same time, more and more war horses were hit, making shrill and tragic whines and falling to the ground, rolling the cavalry on their backs and falling out, and now
The speed of the war horses has increased, and the cavalry behind them and the cavalrymen who have been trying to avoid the men and horses in front of them will either trample over them directly, or they will be tripped and overturned.
At this time, in front of the Muling Army's formation, large clouds of mist-like gunpowder smoke filled the air. The air was also filled with the choking smell of Liuhuang, and the smell of blood wafted from time to time in the distance.
, reminding that this is a cruel battlefield. The pikemen and cavalry watching from the back line were cheering loudly and cheering for the pikemen.
In fact, the entire battle only lasted for more than three minutes from the beginning. However, under the tenacious and fierce firepower of the musketeers, more than half of the nearly one thousand Qing cavalry who launched the attack had been lost.
It was the more than two hundred cavalry and armored soldiers who led the way, and Yi Jing's army was almost wiped out. But at this time, the Qing army Yi Jing broke in and was only more than 30 steps away from the Muling Army's musketry formation. In the past battles between the Qing army and the Ming army
After reaching this distance, the Ming army would often be frightened and panicked, and for some reason, their will to resist would completely collapse.
Shang Yi also issued an order in the formation, ordering the spearmen to line up behind the musketeers. As soon as the Qing army came within twenty steps, the spearmen would rush through the musketeers' array to meet the Qing cavalry.
.At the same time, the musketeers also put on bayonets and fought hand-to-hand with the Qing army.
But before the Qing army came within twenty steps, the musketeers of the Muling Army remained unmoved at all. They continued to shoot calmly, changing guns, shooting again, and changing guns again. The more cavalry rushing in front, the more often they would
The sooner you die.
The Ming army had such a firm will that the Qing army had never seen before. And among the Qing army, not everyone had such a firm will, and they suffered a huge blow that they had never seen before.
, many Han troops in the Qing army had their will to fight collapsed. They turned their horses and fled backwards. However, Bu Sagui, the commander of the rear army, died in the battle. Therefore, not only did no one come to stop the Han troops from escaping, but also
It also quickly spread to the entire cavalry team. Except for a few cavalrymen who rushed to only about twenty steps away from the musketeers, the rest were all routed.
At this time, the spearmen of the Muling Army also passed through the musketeer array, met the few remaining Qing cavalry, and stabbed the last dozen or so people under their horses.
At this time, more than 2,000 infantrymen behind the Qing cavalry also attacked. The defeated cavalry had no time to adjust their direction. They panicked and ran directly into the infantry formation. The infantrymen saw that they were their own troops.
, and they were completely on guard against them. As a result, people bumped into each other, horses bumped into people, people pushed horses, and horses trampled people. Before they could make contact with the Muling Army, the infantry were rushed into chaos.
Upon seeing this, Shang Yi immediately ordered Yang Wucheng to lead the cavalry to attack and pursue the defeated Qing army.
Because the Muling Army's cavalry was not large in number, and the Qing Army was famous for its cavalry shooting, since the Qing Army attacked Muling Pass, all the Muling Army's musketeers, artillery, infantry, and reconnaissance teams were deployed
However, only the cavalry has never been put to use. Seeing the other arms making countless contributions and being proud and proud, the cavalrymen naturally felt uncomfortable. Everyone also held their breath. As long as there was a chance to fight, they must fight.
A beautiful battle, let other soldiers see that the cavalry is not only capable of eating but not working.
Now that they finally got the chance to fight, and beat the drowned dog, the cavalrymen were naturally excited. Everyone drove their horses and chased them from behind. The cavalry generally did not use long spears in pursuit battles, so under Yang Wucheng's command, they all
When he drew his saber and chased after the soldiers, he only needed to wave his saber lightly to use the impact of the horse to cause huge damage to the enemy.
At this time, the Qing army's cavalry had already been defeated, and the infantry was thrown into chaos by the cavalry. Facing the impact of the Muling army's cavalry, it had no power to resist, so it could only retreat.
In the past battlefields, especially in field battles, only the Eight Banners cavalry of the Qing army could chase the Ming army. But now it has been completely reversed. The cavalry of the Muling army carried the Qing army.
Butt, and then pursued him, only to kill the Qing soldiers who fell to the ground and died. When the others saw it, they also threw away their helmets and weapons, and ran forward desperately.
When Shang Yi saw it, he couldn't help laughing. Looking back at Xiao Wenjun and Han Zhi beside him, he said, "How about it? The Tatars claim to be invincible in the field, but that's just it, right?"
The two of them couldn't say anything now, they just nodded desperately. But they were ecstatic in their hearts. No matter what, they were in Muling Pass, and they also followed Shang Yi to fight against the Qing army. This military exploit could not be escaped no matter what.
