Chapter 739: Empty Guns
Although Tong Yangxing was eager to drag out the person who took the lead in firing at this moment, he also knew that now was not the time to settle accounts, and he could only shout loudly when he was too late to get angry...... Minggou is about to be killed! ”
Just when the soldiers of the Han Army Banner Firearms Battalion were hurriedly loading ammunition, Yang Feng, who was looking at the foot of the mountain, pointed to Heishaling and smiled contemptuously: "Tartars are really not good, even the imitation of our firearms is not descript, a good flintlock pistol was changed into an arquebus by them, it can be said that painting a tiger is not an anti-dog." ”
The generals also laughed, and Sun Chengzong also smiled: "Tartars don't read poetry and books and don't cultivate virtues, and naturally no craftsmen are willing to take refuge in them, and it is already difficult to make arquebuses for them." ”
"Uh......"
Yang Feng coughed lightly but didn't speak, in fact, what Sun Chengzong didn't know was that in another time and space, after Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming, the three big traitors, took refuge in Huang Taiji with a large number of craftsmen who could make artillery, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's technology for making firearms has developed rapidly, and by the end of Chongzhen, the artillery and guns made by the Qing army were not inferior to the Ming army, or even better than the Ming army.
And although Sun Chengzong has been guarding Liaodong for a long time, he still has too much of a scholar's style in his bones. In Yang Feng's view, reading poetry and cultivating virtue has nothing to do with whether or not he can make guns and cannons.
However, Yang Feng naturally wouldn't say this kind of thing that didn't happen, for fear that Sun Chengzong would say it again, so he pointed ahead and said, "Governor, please look, our people are not far from Tartar." ”
Sun Chengzong couldn't help but look up, and sure enough, it was so.
After the Qing army's firecrackers and the first round of salvo fire, the sergeant of the Jiangning army, who was originally scattered and bent down slowly while looking for cover, suddenly accelerated his pace, and the sergeant at the front even began to run, but in less than a minute, the distance between the two sides was reduced to less than a hundred meters.
The sudden acceleration of the Jiangning army made the Han army flag sergeants of the firearms battalion who were originally loading ammunition confused, and a sergeant who took the lead in loading ammunition hurriedly raised the torch in his hand and pulled the trigger on the Jiangning army in front.
"Bang ......"
The sound of fire rang out, but in the panic, the lead bullet did not know where it hit, and it did not cause any damage to Jiang Ningjun.
"This bastard!"
This time, Tong Yangxing, who was close to the command, saw it clearly, and in a rage, he rushed to the sergeant with an arrow, drew the long knife at his waist and waved it violently, and heard a soft "click" sound, and the reckless sergeant's head left his neck and fell heavily to the ground, and a stream of blood rose to the sky and scattered everywhere.
"See, if anyone opens fire without an order, this is his fate!"
Tong Yangxing held a long knife in his hand and glared at everyone viciously, because the blood that spurted from the neck of the coward who was cut off by him just now splashed all over his body, and even his face was stained with a lot, so he looked extremely hideous.
Under the threat of death, many firecrackers showed fear on their faces, and some firecrackers who were originally extremely scared hurriedly took their fingers off the trigger, for fear of accidentally going off the fire.
"Listen, everybody's aiming ahead...... Prepare for ......"
"Bumper ...... Bang bang bang ......"
Before the "put" came out of Tong Yangxing's mouth, a crisp sound of firearms was remembered in front of him, and with the sound of gunfire, many firecrackers of the Han army flag standing on the mountainside were shot and fell to the ground.
"My lord, it's not good, the Ming army is rushing up!" Someone next to him shouted.
"Fire...... Fire...... Kill those bright dogs! ”
Seeing that the Ming army had approached within 100 meters, Tong Yangxing couldn't care about being angry, and hurriedly ordered to open fire, and for a time the whole mountain was filled with thick white smoke and the choking smell of gunsmoke.
When the smoke cleared, Tong Yangxing's heart sank to the bottom, and he was completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation just now. In just one round of shooting, hundreds of people fell on his side, and the casualties of the other side were very few.
A Niu Lu came running and reported, "My lord, our fire guns can't hit that far!" ”
"Damn it!"
Tong Yangxing almost gritted his teeth, he knew very well that the reason for all this was that his firearms were too close, even if they hit the enemy, but in the face of the Ming army in iron armor, even if the lead bullet hit the opponent, it would not pose much of a threat.
On the other hand, the Ming army, the range of the opponent's firearms is obviously farther than that of their own firearms, once they are hit, it is definitely a shot or two holes, and the cotton armor on those firecrackers cannot block the opponent's lead bullets at all.
Taking a deep breath, Tong Yang said loudly: "Someone, pass on my general order, and put the Ming army close to fight!" ”
Although Tong Yangxing's idea was good, the Jiang Ning army on the opposite side also changed their tactics, as if they knew that the Qing army was waiting for them to continue advancing, they suddenly stopped advancing, and then shot at the Qing soldiers at a distance of about seventy meters.
"Bang ......"
There are constantly Han army flag firecrackers falling, and Jiang Ningjun's shooting is also regular, automatically entered the three-stage shooting mode, one row of shooting and one row ready to reload the other row, the gunfire almost never stopped, for a while Tong Yangxing, who originally planned to wait for Jiang Ningjun to close the distance with them before shooting, couldn't help but be dumbfounded, your sister is too scoundrel, are you such a bully?
"Bang ......"
The head of a Goshha standing next to Tong Yangxing suddenly burst open like a watermelon, and it turned out that a lead bullet hit his forehead, and the lead bullet with the thickness of a little finger pierced his head and then hit the helmet protecting his head and bounced back, immediately blowing his head to pieces.
Any mistake on the battlefield would lead to unpredictable consequences, and in less than a quarter of an hour, nearly half of Tong Yangxing's 2,000 firecrackers were killed or wounded.
The quality and military discipline of the Han Army Banner were originally inferior to the Manba Banner, and after suffering such heavy casualties, the remaining soldiers could no longer hold on, and many people let out a desperate cry and began to turn around and run backwards.
At first, there were officers who tried to stop this by whipping or even killing deserters with whips or even weapons, but as time went on, the escape soon spread. Some of the musketeers even turned their guns to kill or flee backwards with the officers who prevented them, and when most of the soldiers began to flee, a rout was inevitable.
Tong Yangxing looked at the fleeing soldiers under the escort of more than a dozen Goshha, and there was a look of helplessness and despair in his eyes.
One of Goshkha cried: "Master, the brothers can't stop it, you better run away!" ”
"Escape ......"
Tong Yangxing laughed miserably: "Where can we escape, don't forget that Lord Belle is still supervising the battle behind, if we escape, there will only be one death, rather than being killed by Lord Belle, it is better to die here." Now are you willing to follow me and kill Minggou? ”
More than a dozen Goshha glanced at each other, and knelt down in unison: "Swear to follow the master to the death!" ”
"Good minion!" Tong Yang said with tears: "Our master and servant will die here today, everyone will rush with me!" ”
After speaking, Tong Yangxing took out a long knife and raised it high, and rushed down the hillside first......
