Chapter 744: Blood Water

It is difficult to shoot a certain moving cavalry at a distance of four hundred meters. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoAlthough many Tiger Soldiers have scopes on their rifles, it can be difficult to catch moving enemies. If the cavalry did not rush straight towards the shooter, it would have easily swept through the scope. It is too difficult to follow the target to move the crosshair, and the hit rate will drop to one or two percent.

But for the five thousand rifles at this time, the target was not a single cavalryman. In the face of the rogue horse army that is densely packed together and rushes into battle, the target is actually the entire rogue queue.

If you miss a target in front of you, you will also hit the cavalry on the left, right, or behind. As long as the bullet doesn't deflect too much to the top or bottom, it's bound to hit someone or a horse.

As soon as the 5,000 rifles were fired, more than 2,000 rogue horsemen were immediately hit. The row in front of the 30,000 rogue horse army seemed to hit an invisible wall, and pounced on the horses and fell.

Some of the horses were shot, neighed and fell to the ground, rolling and twitching, creating a great obstacle for the cavalry charging behind.

Countless blood bursts out, mixing with the rain all over the ground, and dyeing the earth blood red at once.

The thief's cavalry was stunned at once.

At this time, the leader of these 100,000 thieves was Liu Zongmin, the number one general under Li Zicheng. In fact, this thief was quite brave, and he rushed in the middle of the horse army with two large swords.

This Liu Zongmin is an old thief who has experienced countless battles and has seen all kinds of firearms of countless officials and soldiers. However, he had never seen a fire bolt that could fire in the rain. The shooting of the Tiger Ben Army made this general of the breaking army stunned all of a sudden.

If the Tiger Army can fight in the rain, how can their 30,000 horse army rush forward?

However, Liu Zongmin is a little unconvinced.

In fact, Liu Zongmin knew that if the rifle had been loaded early and the rifle had been wrapped in oiled paper, the gun would have been able to fire a shot in the rain. In the past, there were some officers and soldiers who protected the guns in this way, and then when they encountered a thief, they would come up and shoot a shot.

But that can only shoot one shot.

Seeing the thousands of horse soldiers who were killed, Liu Zongmin felt a little resentful that he had lost money in gambling. If you flee at this time because of a shot from the Tiger Army, then the Tiger Army can attack Suizhou City with swagger.

Then King Chuang had to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to surround this official army, and he no longer had the strength to go north to attack Shanxi.

Liu Zongmin secretly said that he couldn't get on the road of the Tiger Ben Army, so he snatched the conch horn of the trumpeter next to him and blew the horn of the charge loudly.

The Ma army, which broke into the army, continued to rush forward.

In fact, the ground on which these horsemen trampled was a field of wheat that had been harvested, and it was very soft. When it rained, the army rushed over from two miles away, and the ground was already watered with rain for a while, and it was a little muddy. The infantry advanced very slowly in such mud, and even the cavalry slowed down considerably.

When they rushed to a distance of 300 meters, Liu Zongmin's horse army received a second blow.

The closer the distance, the Musketeers' hit rate was noticeably higher. This time, more cavalry were knocked down by bloodthirsty conical bullets and fell screaming in the muddy wheat fields.

With only two rounds of fire, the riflemen of the Tiger Army knocked out one-sixth, or even close to one-fifth, of the intruding cavalry.

And this is still at a distance of three hundred meters, and only a rifleman with a scope is firing. In fact, there were 2,000 riflemen without scopes on this side of the rushing formation, waiting for the enemy to enter the 200-meter range.

The rain was pouring down, but the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army were not affected. They skillfully loaded their ammunition and drugged, ready to strike at the self-righteous intruder cavalry again.

Liu Zongmin looked at Hu Benjun with wide eyes, and he couldn't react.

Why can the guns of the officers and soldiers still be used in the drizzle? Isn't the gunpowder of the officers and soldiers not afraid of water? Liu Zongmin did not have a telescope and could not see clearly the movements of the officers and soldiers 300 meters away. In fact, Liu Zongmin didn't even know what the flintlock pistol of the Tiger Benjun looked like. The firebolt in his concept is still the arquebus of the official army.

As long as it is a firebolt, you should be afraid of water.

Liu Zongmin does not believe in evil, and he is ready to gamble again.

The horn sounded again, and Liu Zongmin urged the thieves to continue to charge.

But the morale of the thieves has been dispersed, where can a decent charge be organized? Although the morale of the invading army is much higher than before, it is still a thief. Thousands of people were killed, and some of the cavalry in front had begun to flee in panic to the sides, and even to the rear. The lieutenants raised their sabers and roared loudly, trying to revive the formation, but to no avail.

In the rain, wet cavalry huddled together in the muddy wheat fields, some moving forward, others fleeing. The horses' hooves were covered with thick mud blocks, and the whole team was completely unable to move forward.

Crackling gunfire rang out again.

The army and horses who were crowded in front like a traffic jam suddenly turned over on their backs, and I don't know how many people fell off their horses. It was finally clear to the soldiers that this terrible army could shoot an infinite number of shots in the rain.

The army collapsed.

More than 20,000 still alive cavalry turned into routs and fled into the distance. The cavalry struggled to escape in the mud, but with great difficulty.

Behind them, the Tiger Army, which had adapted to the light rain weather, was still shooting.

Before the intruders escaped from the range of the Tiger Army, several thousand more fell under the rifle guns. By the time they reached the back, the cavalry had been frightened and fled with their armor thrown away.

Liu Zongmin didn't expect the cavalry led by him to be so vulnerable. He felt that he could not explain to King Chuang and the generals. He angrily screamed among the deserters, but to no avail. As the fleeing cavalry ran farther and farther, Liu Zongmin was exposed to the scope of the sniper rifle.

Many people saw this big thief wearing a phoenix-winged helmet and a fish-scale armor, and dozens of riflemen shot at Liu Zongmin almost at the same time. More than a dozen blood flowers suddenly bloomed on Liu Zongmin's body, and he fell to the muddy ground without saying a word.

Liu Zongmin, the number one general of the Chuang army, died meaninglessly.

Liu Zongmin's death made the thieves even more panicked. The 70,000 infantry farther away turned into a rout without a fight, and fled in disarray in the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Perhaps in the face of other officers and soldiers, the fighting strength of the army still has the strength to fight a war. But in front of the Tiger Army, the Chuang Army is just a group of targets.

Even on a rainy day, the result is the same.

The cavalry of the 6,000 Chosen Frontier Division originally dismounted and fought on foot, holding rifles and standing in the formation to meet the enemy. But at this time, the invasion army collapsed, and they stepped on their horses and rushed out to chase and kill the invasion army. At this time, the 100,000 troops had become lambs to be slaughtered, and the cavalry of the Frontier Division could chase and kill as much as they wanted.

Li Xing looked at the fleeing army and laughed.

"Big brother's means is to be superb."

Li Laosi said with a smile: "Now the thieves will send at least 200,000 soldiers and horses to confront us." The total number of troops available to the breaking army is no more than more than 300,000, and there are more than 100,000 people left, and they cannot go north to attack Shanxi. ā€

Li Xing said with a smile: "When the eldest brother finishes cleaning up North Korea, he will definitely take Henan."
