"Kill the dog!" More than 5,000 Ming troops shouted, rushing towards the Chinese army formation in Tuhai like a tide. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wang Jinzhong, wearing a white six-petal bright light helmet, white plate armor, and a red cloak, stood on the tower platform, holding binoculars, and watched his elite mountain soldiers launch a fierce attack on the Qing army formation as if they were crazy.

Tuhai's Chinese army is known as the most elite Eight Banners New Army of the Qing Army, which is an almost all-firearms Eight Banners Army, and the degree of firearms has reached an astonishing two-thirds! The New Army of the Eight Banners eliminated all bows and arrows, and the long-range weapons were artillery and muskets, and the muskets were still dominated by new-style flintlock pistols.

The establishment of the Eight Banners New Army is still in accordance with the establishment of the Eight Banners Army, that is, with 300 people as one leader, the strength of five leaders is one Adhaha, the strength of five Ada Hahafan is one Ashihani Hafan, and the strength of two Asihani Hafan is one capital.

Zuo Ling, originally Niu Lu Ezhen, was renamed Zuo Ling during the Shunzhi period; Ada Ha Ha Pan was originally Jia La'e Zhen, and it was changed to Ada Ha Ha Pan during the Shunzhi period; Asihani Hafan was originally Maile Ezhen, and was renamed Asihani Hafan during the Shunzhi period; The capital was originally Gushan Ezhen, and it was changed to the capital during the Shunzhi period.

The Eight Banners New Army led by Tuhai has a unified force, with 15,000 men and horses, a total of 50 auxiliary troops, and has seven artillery auxiliary leaders, 20 fire gun auxiliary leaders, eight heavy fire gun auxiliary leaders and 15 cavalry auxiliary leaders, which is a new type of army combining infantry and artillery and cavalry.

The musketeers of the Eight Banners New Army were equipped with self-generated muskets, that is, flintlock pistols, and each Qing soldier was equipped with a flintlock pistol in addition to a flintlock pistol, which was also equipped with a shun knife for hand-to-hand combat in close combat.

The Heavy Gunner, the equivalent of the Ming Army's turtledove-footed gunners, used extra-large arquebuses with bipods, and two soldiers were equipped with a large arquebus, each armed with a sword for melee combat.

The cavalry of the New Army of the Eight Banners abolished the bow and arrow, and each cavalry was dressed in heavy armor and equipped with weapons such as knives and heavy striking weapons such as axes, maces, and hammers. However, the horses used by the cavalry were Mongolian horses that were not very strong in strength and impact, so the soldiers had heavy armor, but the horses did not have vests.

The Qing Army's Eight Banners New Army is an elite unit built by the Qing court at no expense, but this so-called elite army only looks elite on the surface, and when it really fights, that is another matter, because the soldiers of the Eight Banners New Army come from the second and third generations of the Eight Banners in the capital. To be honest, the New Army of the Eight Banners is used to scare the Green Battalion.

The one responsible for attacking the Tuhai Central Army was the most elite mountain soldier of the Ming Army.

"Kill the dog!" The mountain soldiers shouted and killed the Qing army's large array.

Before the mountain soldiers attacked, the Ming army had already used artillery to plow the ground over and over again, and when the Ming army's artillery bombarded, the Eight Banners New Army also counterattacked with artillery for a while, but the range of the Eight Banners New Army's artillery was insufficient, and the artillery was fired indiscriminately, not only did not suppress the Ming army's artillery, but exposed its own artillery position.

After the Ming army made a quick decision and used four hexagonal rifled guns to carry out accurate artillery bombardment, destroying more than 10 artillery pieces of the Eight Banners New Army, the Qing gunners in front no longer dared to open fire, and no matter how the artillery commander supervised, the gunners did not dare to step forward.

The artillery of the Qing army was suppressed, and the Ming army used cannons, howitzers and mortars to bombard fiercely, and all kinds of solid shells and flowering shells fell on the positions of the Qing army, blowing up the forward positions of the Qing army. Those fortified fortresses built by the Qing court, which cost a huge amount of silver taels and a lot of manpower and material resources, were either directly hit by heavy shells and shattered, or they were smashed on the fortifications by flowering shells and collapsed in the explosion.

After an hour of artillery bombardment, the Ming infantry began to charge.

On the position of the Qing army, a burst of musket fire sounded. At this time, the distance between the two sides was still very long, at least three hundred steps. At such a distance, not to mention a flintlock pistol, even a heavy arquebus with a bipod did not have any accuracy at all. The indiscriminate shooting of the New Army of the Eight Banners is just to listen to the sound and watch the excitement.

Seeing the bursts of white smoke rising from the Qing army's position and hearing a burst of dense gunfire, Wang Jinzhong sneered: "It turns out that this is the legendary Eight Banners New Army!" What can be achieved by shooting so far away? ”

Seeing the Ming army's formation advancing step by step, Tu Hai shouted anxiously: "Hurry up and open the cannon!" Stop Minggou! ”

The Qing gunners took the gun position, loaded the shells, aimed at the formation of the Ming army advancing step by step, ignited the artillery, and fired a row of shells.

"Boom, boom, boom" A piece of Qing army artillery spit out tongues of fire, white smoke rose up, and dozens of shells smashed towards the Ming army.

However, the gunners of the Eight Banners New Army were also too poor in combat effectiveness, dozens of cannons shelled in a round, most of the shells fell on the open ground, smashed into the air, and only a few shells crashed into the formation of the Ming army, sweeping over several Ming soldiers.

The pace of the Ming army's advance did not stop because of this, but continued to move forward step by step.

As soon as the Qing army's artillery fired, the Ming army's four hexagonal rifled guns accurately fired shells into the Qing army's artillery positions. The high-speed rotating shell hit the Qing artillery and smashed the artillery to the side. Some of the shells hit the Qing gunners directly, and the whole person was beaten into scattered blood and flesh in one fell swoop.

The Ming infantry continued to advance, and the new soldiers of the Eight Banners nervously loaded gunpowder and projectiles, and about half a minute later, the Qing army resounded with the sound of gunfire on the position.

Although the New Army of the Eight Banners had a high degree of firearms, at this time they not only did not know how to concentrate their firepower to fire a salvo, but also opened fire outside the effective range. Because of the unequal reloading speed, when some people were shooting, some people were still loading ammunition, and the result was that the gunshots sounded sparse, and the bullets fired indiscriminately did not hit the Ming army at all.

The Ming army continued to approach, marching steadily from two hundred paces away to a distance of fifty paces.

At this time, the New Army of the Eight Banners, which had just gone through two rounds of shooting, was still hurriedly loading gunpowder and bullets. Some Qing troops made mistakes in their busyness, and after loading gunpowder and bullets, they forgot to pull out the connecting strip, so they pulled the trigger indiscriminately. What's even funnier is that when many Qing soldiers opened fire, they turned their heads to the side in fear, as if they were only afraid that the musket would explode and hurt themselves.

Twisting his head to the side and shooting, it was completely a matter of luck, the bullet was fired, except for a few Ming soldiers who were unfortunately shot and fell, the infantry of the Ming army remained intact and showed no signs of chaos.

"Fire!" A Ming army general waved a small flag in his hand.

The Ming army in the front row knelt on one knee and stood in the back row, and with the order of the superior officer, a row of gunshots like fried beans rang out.
