While the people were talking, they saw another group of Tartars in the distance. Pen~fun~Ge www.biquge.info Hua Chang saw clearly in the binoculars that the team of Tartars was led by a heavily armored Fendeshku, and there were about one hundred and fifty people. These Tartars were all on horseback, and there were more than thirty of them on one horse and two horses, and they looked very elite. The group of Tartars came from the north, walked to the hill where Hua Chang was located, and suddenly stopped.

As if he had discovered something, he shouted a few times, and sent ten one-horse foot armor up the hill to search for it.

Hua Zhang shouted violently: "It's been discovered!" Walk! Escaped! ”

He shouted at the soldiers to mount their horses and flee, and then jumped on his horse himself and fled south. The other soldiers saw the platoon commander taking the lead and fled south one by one.

When the Tartars under the mountain saw that there was indeed a Ming army on the mountain, they shouted loudly and instigated the military horses to chase after them. The horse's hooves rolled, raising countless smoke and dust. Thirty soldiers of the Election Regiment and more than a hundred Tartars chased after each other on the outskirts of Beijing.

The scouts of the selection regiment are all one person and two horses, and they can change horses when they have no strength to ride for a while. Moreover, they rode all the fine war horses that had been screened, and their endurance was far stronger than that of ordinary pack horses, and they rode fast. Among the Qing soldiers, there were many auxiliaries and followers, and only half of the more than 100 people rode war horses, and the remaining half could only be regarded as pack horses, and could not catch up with the fast horses of the soldiers of the Fengfeng Regiment.

After ten miles of pursuit, the Tartars' ranks were already disjointed: more than sixty vests and infantry armor on war horses rushed ahead, biting more than a mile away from the scouts of the Election Regiment. The auxiliaries and followers on pack horses lagged behind the group, more than two miles away from the elite in front.

Hua Zhang's eyes lit up as he looked back at the disjointed tartar. He slowed down his horse and shouted, "Stop!" Fight! ”

The soldiers who were running were stunned, not knowing why the platoon commander did not run away again. But several squad leaders are veterans of the years and know how to obey orders. They rode around to gather the stragglers, shouting, "Stop the horses and fight!" ”

In the shouting of the squad leader, the thirty veterans of the selection regiment stopped their horses and gradually gathered around Hua Zhang. They removed their rifles from their backs and began to load them, ready for the onslaught of the Tartar armourers.

Not only did they load their rifles, but they also loaded the bullets and gunpowder with the handcuffs attached to their belts, ready to draw and shoot at any time.

The first squad leader looked at the menacing Tartar vest infantry three hundred meters away, thought for a while and said, "The platoon commander is smart!" These more than 60 vest infantry armors are out of touch with the auxiliaries behind them, and they just happened to kill us platoons! ”

Hua Zhang nodded and said, "Raise your gun and aim!" ”

More than thirty veterans raised their rifles on horseback and aimed at the more than sixty Tartars who rushed towards them.

When the Tartar soldiers saw that the Ming army was running fast with one person and two horses, they thought they would not be able to catch up, but they did not expect the Ming army to stop. The Tartars were overjoyed and rushed forward with their horned bows.

At a distance of three hundred meters, two hundred and fifty meters, and two hundred meters, the Tartar entered the range of the rifle, and Hua Zhang aimed at the heavily armored Fendeshku, and shouted: "Shoot!" ”

Thirty-one rifles erupted tongues of fire, pouring thirty-one bullets at the Manchu cavalry two hundred meters away. The Qing infantry soldiers in the front row seemed to have hit a wall and fell down one after another. Blood splattered from their bodies, their internal organs were crushed by bullets, and they no longer had the strength to grasp the reins, and they fell under their horses.

Their corpses on the ground turned into an obstacle, tripping over the two horses behind them.

The twelve double-armored horsemen were also shot, but the kinetic energy of the bullets weakened after the bullets pierced through the iron-plated cotton armor and chain mail, and did not cause them much damage. The three-layer heavy armor was also hit by Hua Zhang, but the Mini bullet didn't break through his three-layer armor, only made him pause on horseback.

The Tartar was stunned by the heavy blow, and stopped his horse beside the eleven fallen foot armor and hesitated for a while. However, the allotted Paishku was still unwilling to let go of the thirty Ming soldiers, and shouted: "The firearms of the Ming army can only be shot once, rush up and shoot them with bows and arrows." ”

The remaining fifty Tartar soldiers, encouraged by their leader, threw down the corpses of their infantry on the ground and continued to charge towards the soldiers of the Election Regiment two hundred meters away.

At this moment when the Tartars rushed over, the cavalry of the Selective Regiment loaded their ammunition as quickly as possible, and wanted to load their ammunition before the Tartar soldiers rushed in front of them.

These veterans of the Strike Selection Regiment are all veterans who have been training for four years, and they are familiar with their rifles, and they can load their bullets in only 16 or 7 seconds. When the Tartars rushed to a distance of sixty meters, the soldiers of the Xuanfeng Regiment did not wait for Hua Zhang's order to shoot freely at the Tartar soldiers who pressed over.

At a distance of 60 meters, the soldiers of the Selective Front Regiment had an astonishing hit rate, and they could hit nine out of ten shots. Moreover, the Minnie bullet using granular gunpowder is extremely lethal at 60 meters, and even double armor and triple armor cannot prevent it. Thirty-one soldiers of the Elector Regiment crackled and fired a bullet, killing more than twenty more Tartar soldiers in the middle of the charge.

The Tartars were stunned all of a sudden, why was the firepower of these thirty Ming troops so fierce? Two layers of armor can't stop their bullets? In just a short period of time, the Ming army has killed nearly forty warriors, where did this strong army come from? More than sixty Tartars rushed into battle, and in the blink of an eye, there were only more than twenty people left.

Without waiting for the Tartars to react, the scouts of the Selective Regiment began to charge. They galloped towards the Tartars, pulling out the handcuffs from their belts as they sprinted.

"Kill slaves!"

Seeing that the Ming soldiers were bravely rushing forward, the Tartar soldiers pulled out their bows and arrows in a panic and shot them at the soldiers of the Election Regiment who rushed up.

The bows and arrows fired by the Qing soldiers while charging were not accurate, and only five or six of the more than twenty arrows hit the soldiers of the Selection. Moreover, the soldiers of the Election Regiment wore chain mail, and even if they were shot, the bow and arrow would not shoot deep into the body after breaking through the chain mail of the Election Regiment. As long as they are not shot at the vital point, the bows and arrows of the Qing soldiers will not cause much trauma to the soldiers.

Only two soldiers of the Elective Regiment lost their combat effectiveness: one of them was shot in the left chest by a Tartar arrow, broke the heart and fell under his horse. Another soldier was shot in the face and crawled on his horse's back in severe pain, which was considered a serious injury and completely incapacitated.

The horses on both sides sprinted, and the distance was pulled to twenty meters in the blink of an eye, and before the Tartars could shoot the second arrow, the soldiers of the Selector Regiment opened fire with their handcuffs.

Only a crackling sound was heard, and the remaining twenty or so Qing soldiers were almost completely wiped out at once. The armor-piercing ability of the handcuff at twenty meters is very strong, and no matter how many layers of armor you wear, you will be pierced by one shot. About sixteen or seven Qing soldiers fell in a pool of blood, including the three-layer heavy armor Fendeshi Ku, who also fell under his horse with a scream.

In the end, only six Qing soldiers in the back row were still alive. These six Qing soldiers witnessed the complete annihilation of more than 60 horsemen and infantry by this Ming army, and at this time they were surrounded by 30 veterans of the Election Regiment.

Hua Chang commanded his soldiers to reload their rifles and shoot at the six fleeing Qing troops. The six Qing soldiers fled to more than 100 meters, and their bodies were slammed, and they were beaten into a hornet's nest by thirty rifles.

In only half a cup of tea, more than 60 main forces of the Qing army were all killed. Seeing that the limelight was not right, the Qing army auxiliaries a mile away turned their horses around and fled, fleeing without entering the battle.

Hua Chang asked the soldiers to treat several soldiers who had been wounded by arrows. Although the arrows of the Tartar have horse manure poison, if the wound is not deep, as long as the arrow is pulled out in time to prevent the arrow poison from spreading in the flesh, it will not cause serious injury.

In this skirmish, Hua Zhang's men annihilated sixty-three Tartar horse armor infantry soldiers at the cost of one dead and one seriously wounded. Although he lost two brothers, Hua Zhang's great feats still made him very excited.

Hua Chang jumped off his horse and searched among the fallen Tartar soldiers, and caught seven wounded alive. Hua Zhang was overjoyed: if he got alive, he would have information about the Qing army. (To be continued.) )
