The Eight Banners of the White Armor Baya Lama rode their horses and galloped after them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Don't be too fast, let the Tartars chase closer!" Dai Qiusheng shouted.

The eleven Ming soldiers slowed down slightly, and the white armor soldiers of the Eight Banners quickly chased within eighty paces, and as long as they chased another twenty paces or so, they could shoot arrows at Ye Bushu with their riding bows. At this time, I saw the Ming army in front of me turn their heads, followed by a burst of gunfire, light blue smoke rose up, and three Qing soldiers were shot and fell off their horses.

Nine cavalry guns fired at the same time, turning their heads on the back of a bumpy horse, and the opponent was also moving at high speed, and was able to hit three people, which was already a very high hit rate.

As soon as Dai Qiusheng turned his head and shot, he saw with his own eyes that the white-armored Ba Ya Lama soldier he was aiming at turned over and fell off his horse. He turned his head and continued to ride his horse forward, and on the bumpy warhorse, Dai Qiusheng pressed the butt, and the barrel and butt formed a right angle, revealing the chamber behind the barrel. He pulled out a paper cartridge from the bullet belt that was lying diagonally on his body, stuffed the bullet into the chamber, and pressed the butt again, and the barrel and butt formed a straight line to complete the loading.

"Gourd Tartar, die!" Dai Qiusheng scolded, turned his head, and aimed at a white-armored baya.

The white-armored soldier reacted very quickly, and when he saw the Ming army in front of him, he turned his head at night, pointed his gun at himself, and hurriedly lay down and performed the stunt of hiding in the stirrup.

Dai Qiusheng saw that the Qing soldier was hiding under the belly of the horse, so he turned the muzzle of the gun and aimed it at another Qing soldier and pulled the trigger. There was a "bang" of gunshots, and the muzzle of the gun spewed fire, and the white-armored soldier spewed a cloud of blood mist from his chest, and fell headlong under the horse.

After the Qiongzhou army did not collect it at night, it loaded rifled guns, displayed Mangu tactics, kept a distance of 80 paces from the Qing army, and constantly turned back and fired. Every round of gunfire rang out, and two to three white-armored soldiers fell off their horses. These elite white-armored soldiers, with extremely accurate archery skills and superb equestrian skills, are good at both horse and foot combat, but they were not collected by the Ming army at night like killing chickens, and they fell under the horses one after another.

"How can Minggou's firearm keep fighting?" Some people were amazed.

"How could they possibly load on horseback?" Another Qing soldier was puzzled.

The Eight Banners White Armor Soldiers took out the infantry bow, these elite White Armor Bayala have practiced horseback archery since childhood, and the average Eight Banners soldiers can only use the riding bow on horseback, but they can pull the infantry bow on horseback. It's just that on the back of a bumpy horse, and you can't rely on waist strength and leg strength, the range of the bow and arrow will be much shorter.

Several Eight Banner white-armored soldiers spread their bows and arrows, and in order to increase the range, they used the method of throwing light arrows, which could shoot arrows from 80 paces away on horseback.

"Whoosh" Several feathered arrows flew into the sky, pulling out an arc and falling down on the back of the Ming army. However, the Ming army did not collect at night and ran forward, and the Eight Banners also ran forward, and it stands to reason that the bow and arrow were given the speed given by the war horse, and the muzzle velocity was larger, but the air resistance of the feather arrow was also large, so the range of the feather arrow would be shortened by a distance when pursuing the opponent. On the contrary, when the Mongols used the mangu tactics, the range of the arrows was increased, because the opponent ran forward, the bow and arrow shot backwards, and the distance between them was virtually shortened.

A row of light arrows shot by the chasing white-armored soldiers flew into the sky, pulled out an arc, and fell to the ground one after another, landing on the horseshoe prints left by the Ming army's war horses.

Only one light arrow fell when it happened to hit a Ming soldier at night, but the armor-breaking power of the light arrow was not large, the feather arrow was shot on the shoulder of the Ming army, and was blocked by the hard canvas suit, and the silk lining of the suit played a protective role, and the night of the arrow was only slightly injured.

The Ming army did not turn their heads and shoot at night, and a row of gunfire sounded, and a number of white-armored soldiers were shot and fell off their horses.

"You can't chase like this!" A leader of the Eight Banners urged, "If we chase it any further, we won't be able to catch up with Minggou, and we will all be wiped out by Minggou's firecracker!" ”

"Let's turn back!" A white-armored soldier said.

However, the Eight Banners Baijia Bayala wanted to turn around and flee at this time, but the Ming army did not give them a chance. The continuous gunfire attracted more than 100 Ming cavalry patrolling around.

The cavalry of the Ming army who arrived were all night sentry horses, with more than 20 Yongli 24-year sniper rifles and more than 90 Yongli 24-year riding rifles. The Ming army did not close at a long distance at night, and first used a sniper rifle to shoot from a distance, so that the white armor soldiers of the Eight Banners did not dare to dismount and shoot at all, so they could only flee without their lives. Then the Ming army rushed forward at night without collecting the sentry horse, and more than a hundred rifled guns roared continuously, knocking down all the remaining white-armored soldiers like hunting.

The cavalry of the Ming army dismounted, pulled out six bolts from their waists, and stepped forward to the Qing soldiers who were struggling in a pool of blood.

Dai Qiusheng saw a white-armored soldier who had been wounded in the leg and was struggling on the ground. Hit by a rifled bullet, although it did not hit the vital point, but the spinning bullet hit the musculature, causing a large cavity effect in it, and a shot in the leg was enough to lose combat effectiveness.

"Bang" Dai Qiusheng raised his hand and shot, and a bloody hole appeared in the head of the Eight Banners.

The cavalry of the Ming army carefully examined the corpses of the Qing soldiers, and saw that there was still a breath of air, which was aimed at the head with a shot, which completely determined the pain of these wounded.

In the Fengyang area, such skirmishes took place in various places, and the most elite Baijia Bayala could only be beaten in vain and unable to fight back in front of the Qiongzhou army, which was equipped with rear-loading rifled guns and sniper rifles. After the Qing army suffered several heavy losses, it no longer dared to send elite Baijia Baya soldiers to spy on the military situation, but continued to use the green battalion horse team as cannon fodder to spy on the intelligence of the Ming army.

It's a pity that the Green Camp Horse Team is even more uncompetitive, and they came out to spy on the military situation to deliver food to the Ming army. Well-equipped and well-trained, the Night-Guarded Cavalry met the Green Battalion Horsemen, and won easily and without any challenge.

When the Ming army saw the Green Battalion Horse Team from a distance, they rushed forward and fired two to three rounds with rifled guns at a distance of 70 to 80 paces, and the Green Camp Horse Team was destroyed. Next, the sentry cavalry pursued for a while, and left a group of cavalry of the green battalion horse team before returning victoriously.

The Qing army's battlefield intelligence was shielded, and it was difficult to spy on important military information. And the Ming army not only had night sentry cavalry responsible for reconnaissance, but also hot air balloon reconnaissance in the air.

In addition to hot air balloons, more advanced human-powered hydrogen airships have also appeared over the battlefield. The four-passenger hydrogen airship has spindle-shaped airbags and foot-operated propellers in the gondola underneath, allowing the airship to reach speeds of up to 20 kilometers per hour. Compared with hot air balloons, hydrogen airships are much lighter, flying faster than three times, and are easy to maneuver and more flexible to use. The only drawback is that hydrogen is afraid of fire, and hydrogen airships cannot be equipped with weapons such as muskets, and they have to be careful when using grenades.
