Hit five rounds by solid bullets, two rounds by shotguns, and three rounds by riflemen, the Qing army had already suffered heavy casualties, with more than 4,000 dead and wounded. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoBut this force has not collapsed yet and is still charging forward.

If this army of more than 20,000 firecrackers rushed to the front of the formation and shot at the Tiger Division, the Tiger Division would pay a great price.

Li Zhi believed that the morale of this Qing army was already crumbling. I am afraid that the only thing that supports this force is the numerical superiority of the Qing army, and the confidence in victory brought by this numerical superiority. As long as this confidence is broken, this army will definitely be defeated.

The Qing army rushed to the thirty-five paces, and twenty Qing soldiers quickly stuffed the ignition powder into the fire door and tentatively fired at Li Zhi's tiger division.

Although the Qing army's firearms used round projectiles, the armor-piercing efficiency was not as good as Li Zhi's conical bullets. However, the caliber of the Jianwei gun used by the Qing army was larger than that of Li Zhi's rifle. At a distance of fifty meters, the rifle of the Qing army could break through the whole body armor of the tiger master just like Li Zhi's rifle.

The tentative attack of the Qing army was successful.

Twenty rifles fired, and only six rifles were fired because the primer was loaded in a hurry. The bullet hit the soldiers of the Tiger Division, and the screams came from the array of the Tiger Division, and the five soldiers of the Tiger Division fell in a pool of blood.

Seeing this scene, Kong Youde's face turned pale and red. The Han army banner dropped more than 4,000 corpses and finally rushed to the killing distance. Next, you can shoot against Li Zhi's soldiers and horses!

Kong Youde shouted loudly: "Blow the conch horn and start shooting!" ”

The desolate conch horn sounded, and the Qing army stopped charging into formation, stood fifty meters away from the tiger division with a fire gun, and began to reload the fire gate with gunpowder, ready to shoot.

After running for so long, the ignition powder has fallen out and needs to be reloaded.

Hearing the conch horn sounded by Kong Youde's command office, Duoduo and Du Du glanced at each other, their eyes full of surprise.

The Qing army rushed for so long, and finally rushed to the killing distance. Next, the more than 20,000 Qing gunners who were still alive would shoot at Li Zhi's riflemen. Although the Qing army was killed by Li Zhi's artillery fire on the way to the battle, the number was still nearly twice that of the Tiger Division's riflemen, and Duoduo had reason to believe that the Qing army would be victorious.

Dordor was so excited that he wiped the fine sweat from his head and said loudly, "Good! This battle crushed Li Zhi's soldiers and horses. ”

Du Du said: "Prince Yu, as long as Li Zhi is defeated, inside and outside the Guan, is it not Ren Daqing's iron cavalry galloping?" ”

Duoduo laughed, as if he had seen the good situation after Li Zhi was wiped out.

Hong Chengchou heard Kong Youde's conch, and his heart sank.

He had just seen the Qing gunners successfully shoot the soldiers of the Tiger Division. Obviously, the Qing army's musketeers rushed to a distance where they could break through the armor and were about to start shooting at Li Zhi's soldiers and horses.

Unexpectedly, the Qing army actually withstood such a large casualty and rushed to Li Zhi's front.

The Qing army numbered more than 20,000 people, and Li Zhi's army had only 13,500 firefighters. In this way, Li Zhi seems to be at a great disadvantage. No matter how good Li Zhi's rifle is, that is, a kind of firecracker, how can he shoot twice as many enemies as himself?

Hong Chengchou's face turned pale, and he was very worried about Li Zhi's soldiers and horses.

Li Zhi stood in the middle of the Formation Formation, but he was not as worried as Hong Chengchou. Li Zhi knew that the morale of the Qing army was already at the end of its strength.

More than 4,000 people died, the Qing army's loss rate was as high as 15 percent, and the bravest firecrackers who rushed to the front had all been killed. Those who are now in front of the battle are those who were in the middle. These Qing soldiers witnessed the death scene like the massacre of the soldiers in the front row, and they were already trembling, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were frightened birds.

The Qing army is already at the end of its strength, and as long as it strikes again, it can crush the morale of the Qing army, which has collapsed to the limit.

What we have to do now is not to let the Qing army see the hope of victory.

Li Zhi was stunned in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Shotgun fire!" ”

Forty eighteen-pounder guns were already loaded with shotguns, and as soon as the horn of fire was heard, forty cannons fired deadly shotguns at the charging Qing troops. The distance was too close, and the Qing soldiers in the front row facing the muzzle of the gun were suddenly beaten into a hornet's nest, and the flesh and blood were blurred. Blood and minced flesh erupted from the beaten bodies.

The shotgun projectile shot through these flesh targets with a huge amount of kinetic energy, and continued to pierce backwards, shooting through two or three layers of body before stopping. This close-range shotgun shooting is even more brutal and bloody.

The shotgun killed at least three-quarters of the Qing soldiers in the first row on the front, and the line where the Qing army was about to start firing suddenly became a mess. The soldiers in the back row looked at the tragic situation of the soldiers in the front row who were shot, their faces turned pale, and they did not dare to step forward. The screams and moans corroded the morale of the Han army banner like a plague.

The Qing troops in the back row finally put away their minds and raised their guns to shoot at the Tiger Ben Division in front, and the first column of soldiers of the Tiger Ben Division had already rushed to the front to fire a volley.

Li Zhi played against the Qing army this time, and he put on a three-row round-robin shooting dense formation, with each soldier occupying only half a meter of the width of the battlefield. With such a dense formation, it is more appropriate to form three columns. If you shoot in four columns, the time taken by the soldiers in front of you to aim at the enemy will make the shooting efficiency of the whole team slightly reduced.

Li Zhi now uses nitrocellulose without residue as propellant, and there is no need to clean the chamber of the gun, even if it is fired in three rows, it is enough to complete a salvo in five seconds.

The rate of fire of a bullet in 15 seconds is much higher than that of the Qing army. The Qing army used black powder arquebus, to clean the chamber, to adjust the position of the arquebus, to blow the arquebus, to test the arquebus, twenty-five seconds to be able to fire a shot is the elite.

The Qing army did not know the rate of fire of Li Zhi's rifle, and their confidence in victory was based on the idea that the rate of fire of the tiger division was similar to theirs.

When the Qing soldiers saw that Li Zhi's three rows of guns had been fired, they thought it was safe time. They thought that it would take at least ten seconds for the first column of Ming troops to reopen fire.

However, the rifle of the Tiger Master opened fire in this impossible safe time.

When the riflemen of the first column of the Tiger Ben Division opened fire again fifteen seconds after the last shot, the morale of the Qing army's Han army flag was as if it had been severely hammered with a hammer of dozens of catties.

The Ming army's rifle can be shot once in fifteen seconds!

The Tiger Master shoots once in fifteen seconds, and can shoot four bullets in one minute. The Qing army's Han military flag was fired once every twenty or thirty seconds, and it could only shoot two bullets a minute, and its combat effectiveness was almost half that of the Tiger Division. Moreover, the Tiger Division also had dozens of large-caliber heavy artillery shotguns, and its overall lethality was far more than twice that of the Qing army's Han military flag.

The numerical superiority of the Han army banner was wiped out in the face of the high-rate weapons of the Tiger Division.
