The 302 times are different

Knock knock knock......

The drummers in the White Dragon Army beat the hurried drums, all the White Dragon Army soldiers, dtm

The birds, pikemen, and sword and shield bearers were all in order, and no one spoke without permission during the whole process, only the sound of metal crashing with armor and weapons.

A thousand broad shields stood still, and the sword and shield soldiers who were hiding behind the shields stood still after setting up their shields, while the pikemen also crouched behind the sword and shield men, and also stood still.

All the white dragon sergeants have resolute eyes, revealing iron and blood, murderous, not angry and self-imposing, this is an invisible momentum, giving people a great sense of oppression.

In a short period of time, all the White Dragon Army finished arranging, and they shouted in unison: "Battle station battle!" ”

The entire chariot formation was silent, and all the White Dragon Sergeants were on standby, without making a sound, waiting for the Tartars to rush up.

Stomp ......

The Tartar cavalry was still approaching rapidly, and when the cavalry of the Tartar army rushed from hundreds of paces away to sixty paces, this could be done with the help of the momentum of the war horse.

When the arrows were thrown into the distance of the White Dragon Army's chariot formation, they no longer approached, but circled around the White Dragon Army's chariot formation.

Liu Chong had already commanded the White Dragon soldiers and soldiers, and set up an iron bucket formation.

Under the protection of the two layers of thorn chariots and countless round shields, and even heavy shields, the entire Ming army's ranks have been protected, as tightly as a turtle shell.

At this time, the Tartar cavalry who were galloping in a fast circle around the White Dragon Army vehicle formation had already shot the first wave of arrow rain.

With the help of horsepower, they threw diagonally towards the sky from sixty paces away, and the heavy arrows drew arcs in the sky and flew towards the white dragon army's car formation.

"Whoosh ......"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The dense rain of arrows flew towards the White Dragon Army's chariot formation, landing on the thorn chariot and shield, making a terrifying sound.

The shields of the White Dragon Saber and Shield Bearers, although they formed a large barrier, protected most of the White Dragon Sergeants inside.

But there were still a few arrows that would pass through the gaps between the shields and shoot the soldiers hiding behind.

The soldiers who were hit by the arrow would immediately be dragged down by their comrades behind to rescue.

After a while, the shields of the sword and shield soldiers in front of the White Dragon Army were full of arrow feathers, like a hedgehog.

At the same time, the White Dragon Army Bird Fighters, who were closely protected by the Thorn Chariot and the shield in the back, also stretched out their muzzles from the gap between the shields and opened fire.

They don't even need to aim much, anyway, at this time, even the accuracy of the new bird gun is very unreliable.

The bird-gunners of the White Dragon Army still rely on the volley of the platoon guns to make up for the lack of accuracy.

As the sound of fried beans continued to sound, the lead bullets were rapidly shot forward under the impetus of the kinetic energy emitted when the gunpowder burned.

The distance of sixty paces is already the farthest range of these Tartar cavalry, and if they are any further, they will not be able to shoot the White Dragon Army.

But for the White Dragon Army's bird guns, at a distance of sixty steps, the lead bullets shot out by the new bird guns are still very powerful.

Even if you can't shoot through the double heavy armor worn by the Tartar infantry, it is still no problem to penetrate a layer of heavy armor.

And these Tartar cavalry, they simply could not be heavily armoured, otherwise they would lose the mobility of the cavalry.

If these Tartar cavalry were all dressed in heavy armor, it is estimated that they would not have run a few steps, and the war horses ridden by the Tartars would not be able to bear it, and they would be exhausted to death.

The Tartar cavalry at this time, to put it bluntly, was the so-called light cavalry, and they relied on agility and maneuverability, as well as the cavalry and archery skills that the Tartars were good at.

These Tartar soldiers generally wear light armor, which is estimated to be unable to resist even the arrows fired within forty or fifty paces, let alone the lead bullets shot by the White Dragon Army's bird gunner.

Many of the Tartar cavalrymen, who were galloping on their horses and bending their bows and arrows, only felt a sharp pain in their bodies, and then they fell off their horses as if they had been drained of their strength.

But more Tartar cavalry, not directly hit by buckshot.

But at this time, the horses they were riding would suddenly go berserk, let out a mournful roar, raise their front hooves, and throw the Tartar cavalry off their horses.

As the saying goes, 'shoot a man before a horse', and in such a situation, the target of the horse is indeed larger than the person.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, most of the buckshot shots fired by the White Dragon Army Bird Gunners hit the Tartars' war horses, not the Tartars themselves.

Many horses were shot by lead bullets in the process of running, and due to severe pain, they raised their front hooves and threw their owners off their horses.

To tell the truth, this method of warfare used by the Tartar soldiers was indeed a very advanced cavalry tactic three hundred years ago.

The essence of this tactic is to attack the enemy from a long distance, constantly attacking the enemy, and not giving the enemy a chance to fight back.

They relied on their cavalry skills to keep a certain distance from the enemy, so that the enemy could never beat them.

As for them, they rely on their own riding and archery skills, but they can attack each other all the way, which is very incomprehensible.

In such a situation where the enemy can hit you but you can't attack the enemy, no matter how strong the enemy's spirit is and how strong the armor is, it is only a matter of time before it completely collapses.

In order to use this tactic well, there must be two major premises.

One is that your subordinates must be cavalrymen, and their riding skills must be good, and they can maintain a unified formation to advance and retreat, otherwise they will definitely not be able to make a fuss.

Another is the most important horse archery technique, and the bow and arrow used must be better than the enemy's, to ensure that their range is longer than the enemy's bow and arrow.

This is the most important thing to ensure that you attack the enemy and they can't hit you.

Three hundred years ago, the Mongols had the longest range and most lethal combined bow in the world at that time.

This combined bow usually consists of an animal tendon on the back, a layer of horn on the belly of the bow, and a wooden frame in the middle.

The pull of this bow is between 50 kg and 75 kg, and it is very short, which is easy for cavalry to wield freely, which is also the magic weapon of the Mongolian cavalry in those days.

However, when it comes to Tartar, it is very different from the Mongolian cavalry of that year.

The bows and arrows used by the Tartar cavalry emphasized more accuracy and power, and in terms of range, they were not as far as the bows and arrows of the Mongols.

But now the times are different, human civilization is advancing, science and technology are developing, and human creativity has allowed them to make firearms.

With the advent and development of firearms, they have begun to surpass the range and power of bows and arrows.

As long as these wild boar skins outside the gate, who have just transitioned from the life of savages, they probably don't know anything about technology, and as for creativity, it seems to be insulated from them.

In this way, the tactics of the Mongol cavalry that were rampant all over the world in those days were not so terrible in this era, and if they were used by the Tartars.

Although in the past, the Tatar cavalry also used the same tactics, and against this kind of vehicle formation of the Ming army, they also achieved good results.

That's mainly because the Ming army they encountered a few times ago could not be compared with the White Dragon Army at this time in terms of military discipline, training, courage, equipment, etc.

In the face of so many Tartar cavalry throwing in a circle, it was a great psychological test for the soldiers.

Moreover, the Ming army's bird guns can't be compared with the new bird guns of the White Dragon Army, and no one dares to use the Ming army's bird guns, they can't fire a few shots, they don't kill the enemy, but they are killed by their own bird guns.

At this moment, Zabek encountered the White Dragon Army, first they used the charging method to deal with the previous Ming army, which did not work, and now they used this trick of 'encircling the camp and riding and shooting'.

However, this method of encircling the camp and firing a salvo was destined to be bloodied in the face of the White Dragon Army vehicle formation, which had a large number of reliable firearms.

"Bang ......"

As the sound of birds continued to sound, the Tartar cavalry galloping around the chariot formation fell off their horses one by one.

The fate of those fallen cavalry is conceivable, not killed by the buckshot shot, but also trampled into meat sauce by the hooves of the horses galloping behind.

Zabek, who was watching the battle in the back, saw that the Qing warriors who were brave and good at fighting on weekdays were shot down and dismounted one by one like geese in the sky.

Although he still maintained a calm expression on the surface, the hand holding the horsewhip was trembling constantly.

Soon, a Tartar Niulu couldn't bear to look at it anymore, knelt down in front of Zabek, and cried sadly: "My lord, you can't fight like this anymore."

This Ming army's firearms are too sharp, and if they continue to fight like this, they can only let our warriors die in vain!

These are all our warriors with blue flags! If we lose too many bannermen, we will be skinned alive by the banner owner when we go back. ”

After hearing this Niu Lu's words, the muscles on Zabek's face couldn't help twitching, his face was full of unwillingness and anger, and a pair of big hands held the reins tightly.

"yes, my lord, you can't fight like that." Several other Niu Lu also knelt down and persuaded them.

After a while, Zabek's hand holding the reins relaxed, sighed, and finally said: "That's it, order them all to withdraw!" ”

Although Zabek was very unwilling in his heart, he really wanted to destroy the Ming army in front of him, if he went back like this, and lost a lot of men and horses, he would definitely not be able to raise his head among the Tartar generals.

However, he still kept his senses, knowing that what his subordinate Niu Lu said was right, and he could see that he couldn't fight like this.

Up to now, the Tartar cavalry that surrounded the camp and shot at them threw into the chariot formation of the White Dragon Army, causing few casualties to the White Dragon Army.

On the contrary, it was the bird-sturgeon of the White Dragon Army, who had already shot several rounds of lead bullets, killing many Tartar soldiers.

You must know that the Tartar soldiers who can do this kind of encirclement and cavalry shooting are all real blue-flaged Tartars, not Mongolian, Han soldiers.

Those clothed minions don't have such skills, and only the elite Eight Banner Tartar cavalry can do such cavalry shooting.

In this way, the dead Tartar cavalry are all bannermen with blue flags!

The blue flag is in the Tartars, which belongs to the lower five flags, and there are only about 6,000 soldiers who can fight.

At this time, Zabek brought five cattle with about 1,500 people, accounting for almost a quarter of their blue flags.

On this trip, even if he didn't capture a Daming city, he didn't loot a penny.

As long as there is not much loss in his hands, even if it is useless, he will not be at fault, he will go back to be scolded by Hauge at most, and will be ridiculed by his comrades.

But this time, if he loses too much of the elite with the blue flag, even if he robs more property, after he returns, it is estimated that Hauge will have to kill him.

Therefore, not only is the current situation not good for them, but just for the sake of his own life, Zabek can only helplessly withdraw the Tartar cavalry.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Soon a mournful trumpet sounded in the formation of the Tartar soldiers.

After hearing the sound of the horn, the Tartar light horsemen, who were still persevering in archery in the chariot formation of the White Dragon Army, quickly retreated to their main formation like an amnesty, and came to Zabek to re-line themselves.

Zabek looked at the cavalry team of less than 700 people left in front of him at this time, and the eyes of these Qing warriors who originally didn't know what they were afraid of showed a trace of fear and panic.

The corners of Zabek's mouth couldn't help but twitch twice, and at the same time, his heart was dripping blood!

In the kung fu of this pillar of incense just now, they lost more than 300 cavalry, which are all elites with blue flags!

The real Eight Banners Tartar soldiers, that is, they have been practicing martial arts since they were ten years old, and it takes at least ten years of kung fu to train a qualified cavalryman.

But now, in a short period of time, the Ming army on the opposite side used a small lead bullet to take their lives so easily.

Is this still the cowardly Ming Dynasty army in their impression? What the hell is going on with this Ming army that you encountered today!

Zabek's originally straight back was also bent, and he suddenly looked much older.

Not only did he not gain anything this time, but he lost more than 300 horse armor and infantry armor and servant army clothed minions, and now he lost more than 300 of the most elite cavalry.

In this way, the Jiala under his control lost one-fifth of his troops in this battle, which can be regarded as a great loss of vitality.

What's more, among the losses of these horses, their bannermen with blue flags accounted for 400 people.

As soon as he thought of this, Zabek couldn't help but shudder, if he let Prince Haoge of Heshuosu know after he went back, he probably wouldn't spare himself easily!

Looking at the white dragon army chariot array still standing in the distance, as well as the big banner with the word "Li" erected in the car array, the word "Li" in the banner was still entangled by a soaring white dragon.

Zabek, who had fought for more than 20 years, felt bitter in his heart.

He knew that after he went back this time, he, Jia Lazhangjing, might become the laughing stock of the blue flag, or the entire Eight Banners of Tartar.

Even, after he returns, whether he can survive is a question.

"When did there be a powerful team of generals surnamed Li in the Ming army, what happened to that white dragon? Could it be that this is the newly formed army of the Emperor of the Great Ming Dog?

No, I have to go back and report today's situation to Haugbel and the great general Dolgon, this Ming army will be a big problem for our Qing Dynasty in the future, and it must be eliminated. ”

Zabek stared gloomily, staring at the handsome banner of the White Dragon Army opposite, and struggled violently in his heart.

Of course, Zabek didn't know that the Ming army in front of him was indeed not an ordinary Ming army, but it was by no means a new army newly formed by the Great Tomorrow.

Chongzhen doesn't have the energy to form a new army, and besides, he just wants to form a new army, and he is also powerless, because he is a Ming emperor, and he has no money!

Li Zixiao's acceptance of the imperial court's edict from the beginning was an expedient measure, and all the generals of the entire White Dragon Army understood Li Zixiao's thoughts.

Therefore, from the day the White Dragon Army was founded, all the officers and soldiers of the White Dragon Army knew that their team was called the White Dragon Army, and as for outsiders calling them 'Ming Army', they just smiled and said nothing.

Even, in the White Dragon Army, they have prepared two handsome flags, one is the 'Li' embroidered with the white dragon in front of them

The word handsome flag.

In addition, there is another one, that is, the ordinary 'Li' character handsome flag that is not embroidered with a white dragon, which is kept to fool the imperial court.

In the absence of court officials, the White Dragon Army played the White Dragon Shuai Banner, representing Li Zixiao's personal arrival.
