Chapter 119: Wu Qing's Decisive Battle II

A row of gunshots rang out, but only twenty musketeers fired from a hundred and twenty paces away, and five of the eleven Baijia Bayalas were shot! Rifled bullets swirling at high speed pierced through Bai Jiaba's helmet and torso, burrowing out from behind with lines of blood. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The leader of the group had received at least four bullets, leaving a row of smoke-emitting bullet holes on his body, and the double cotton armor and the layer of iron armor inside could not block the bullets, and the specialist fell from his horse, rolled on the ground, and fell in a pool of blood facing the sky, his eyes wide in diswillingness.

The Wu stragglers who fired a volley of bullets immediately waved their horsewhips and rushed towards the remaining six Qing troops.

"Whoosh" six feathered arrows shot at the Wu army's stragglers.

The Wu stragglers either hid in stirrups or dodged on horseback, but two Wu stragglers were shot by the feathered arrows fired by Baijia Bayala and turned over and fell off their horses.

The white-armored soldier shot the arrow very fast, and as soon as a round of feather arrows was fired, he took out the feather arrows from the quiver, stretched his bow and set up the arrows again, and another round of feathered arrows flew out. At this time, the distance between the two sides was only about fifty paces, and at the same time as the white-armored soldiers shot the feathered arrows, the Wu army stragglers also pulled the trigger on horseback, and the double-barreled long guns spewed out fiery white smoke.

In the course of the shooting, four Baijia Bayala were shot and fell off their horses, and two of the Wu army stragglers were also shot off their horses.

The remaining two white-armored soldiers were already lonely, and sixteen Wu army skirmishers surrounded two Qing soldiers, each of these Wu army skirmishers had a double-barreled long gun and two double-barreled short guns, and the sixteen Wu army skirmishers shot indiscriminately, and in a blink of an eye, the last two white-armored soldiers were beaten into a hornet's nest.

In the mountainous area of southwest Henan, you can see the outpost battle between the Wu army scouts and the Qing army sentry cavalry everywhere, the two sides in order to reconnoiter the enemy situation and counter-reconnaissance, the Qing cavalry in order to harass the Wu army, the Wu cavalry in order to protect the infantry, artillery and baggage soldiers, the cavalry of both sides chased and fought in the mountains and forests, and launched a small-scale fierce battle.

Gao Dejie's elite sentry cavalry was cooperated by Wu Sangui's elite skirmishers to launch a flexible and mobile anti-reconnaissance and anti-harassment warfare. It was often the Wu army stragglers who lay in ambush in the jungle, ambushed in the trees, and shot the Qing army's sentry cavalry with cold guns; The cavalry of the Wu army, with the cooperation of the stragglers, engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the sentry cavalry of the Qing army.

In just one day, Bahai's Eight Banners Army lost more than 100 elite white-armored soldiers, while Wu's army also paid the price of 35 casualties and 28 elite sentinels.

"Report to your lord! Wu Cheng has a long-range firearm that our brethren can't beat with their bows and arrows! The brothers suffered heavy losses in order to attack the Wu anti-artillery team! "A white-armored soldier came back to report to Henusu.

Henusu snorted coldly: "Wu's backfire weapon is powerful, why should we harass their heavily protected artillery team?" We can kill their auxiliaries and people! ”

One of the Eight Banners soldiers asked, "My lord, Wu Yi also has cavalry, if we harass their people and auxiliaries, Wu Rui's cavalry can come to support at any time!" ”

"Wu Shun has more than 200,000 horses, pulled into a long dragon, they only have 5,000 cavalry, the artillery team is the lifeblood of Wu Sangui's old thief, Wu Shun must be the key protection artillery team! We can use Bayala to keep an eye on their artillery team from afar, and the Wu Wei cavalry will definitely not dare to stay away from the artillery team! The rest of us, take the opportunity to attack their auxiliaries and people! Henusu sneered.

Between Panlong Mountain and Wulong Mountain, this is a relatively open valley between the two hills. A wide official road passed through the middle of the valley, and Wu Sangui's army lined up in a long dragon formation and passed through the mountains. More than 200,000 Wu troops stretched for dozens of miles before and after, with only 5,000 cavalry, and the focus was naturally on protecting the artillery team on the march.

The people and auxiliaries of the Wu army walked behind the team, they were originally a group of cannon fodder, naturally they did not have the treatment of the artillery team, and Wu Sangui only left them a few infantry to protect.

"The Tartars are coming!" In the crowd of people and auxiliaries who were marching, suddenly a sentinel rode back to report on a fast horse.

"Quick, fence the car!" An officer ordered.

The auxiliaries and the people were pushing wheelbarrows or driving carts, and these vehicles full of goods could also form formations. Hearing the officer's order, the Wu army auxiliaries and Minzhuang immediately stopped the car, connected the various vehicles end to end, and placed them on both sides of the official road, and the auxiliaries and Minzhuang hid behind the vehicles.

In the blink of an eye, the Eight Banners Cavalry of the Qing Army had already appeared in front of Wu Junmin Zhuang and the auxiliaries.

Seeing the Wu army's chariot formation, Henusu did not order to ride his horse and charge into battle, originally their task was to harass, not to confront the Wu army. He ordered: "Dismount all and shoot lightly!" ”

The cavalry of the Eight Banners turned over and dismounted, took the longbow from the horse, and took the quiver containing light arrows from the horse, stretched out their bows and arrows, and aimed them at the Wu army's chariot formation one hundred and fifty paces away. With the sound of bowstrings, hundreds of feathered arrows flew into the sky, pulled out an arc, and fell down into the formation.

A rain of arrows had just fallen, and another burst of locust-like feathered arrows flew into the sky and landed in the Wu army's chariot array. Arrows rained down and hit the center of the formation.

The light arrows shot by the Qing army, if they hit the soldiers in armor, basically only have a harassing effect, and do not have much lethality, unless they are extremely lucky and hit the opponent's limbs or face. However, the people and auxiliaries in the middle of the car array, they did not have any armor protection at all, and they were rained down by a rain of arrows from the Qing army, and a large number of them fell at once.

"Shoot! Shoot these Wu Shun Han dogs! Henusu shouted excitedly.

The Eight Banners soldiers opened their bows and arrows one after another, and one after another light arrows flew into the sky and pierced into the middle of the car formation. Every time a rain of arrows fell, a scream sounded in the middle of the Wu army's chariot array, blood splattered everywhere, and countless auxiliaries and people fell.

"Quick, block it with a plank!" Someone shouted anxiously.

The auxiliaries and the people picked up the planks one after another, or hid under the car to avoid the rain of arrows that kept falling, but there were still many arrows that passed between the planks and the planks and shot Wu Junmin Zhuang and the auxiliaries.

"My lord! Wu Reverse Cavalry is coming! "Just when the Eight Banners were slaughtering Wu Junmin Zhuang and auxiliary soldiers, a Qing army sentry who was on the periphery came back to report.

"Get on the horse, get out!" Henusu gave the order.

Hundreds of cavalry of the Eight Banners put away their bows, jumped on horseback, waved their whips and drove away, leaving only smoke and dust. When the Wu cavalry arrived, they only saw the dust of the Qing cavalry leaving.

The cavalry of the Wu army wanted to protect the artillery team, and did not dare to pursue the retreating Qing army, so they could only reluctantly turn back. At this time, someone came to report to Gao Dejie: "Report to your lord! Another group of auxiliaries in front was attacked by the Tartars! Shoot a lot of brothers! ”

"Dog Tartar!" Gao Dejie scolded, "Our formation is too long!" Those who come to harass are the Tartar elite! It's just a pity that we have too few stragglers! Otherwise, where would the Tartars dare to come! ”
