"Damn, Ariake dog ambush!" Wu Dan, the general of the Qing army of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, shouted, "Quickly form a formation to meet the enemy!" ”

The 1,500 Han and Eight Banners infantry formed a hollow formation learned from the Ming army, with 600 musketeers in the middle, 600 pikemen in the periphery, and 300 sword players interspersed in the middle of the formation. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Qing army did not have bayonets yet, so the musketeers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were equipped with waist knives. When abandoning the city and fleeing, each Han Eight Banner musketeers carried a wooden stick, which could tie the waist knife and the wooden stick together to make a long knife, which was used to prevent the Ming cavalry from chasing and killing.

"Stop moving, dismount and shoot!" When more than 1,000 dragoons were still more than 70 steps away from the Qing army's 1,500 Han and Eight Banner Army, the dragoon guerrilla Xu Shixian shouted.

More than a thousand dragoons grabbed the reins, stopped advancing, turned over and dismounted, left their horses in place, lined up in a neat formation, armed with double-barreled flintlock pistols, and moved forward steadily, the footsteps of a thousand people were like one person.

"What happened to the thief cavalry? Are they infantry or cavalry? U Thant was puzzled.

Before Wu Dan could understand what was going on, the musketeers of the Han Eight Banners Army saw the Ming army pressing up step by step, so they couldn't wait to pull the trigger, and a row of gunfire rang out in the Han Eight Banners formation, and the white smoke rose up, and the gunshots shook the sky, endlessly, sounding like a huge momentum.

"Damn fools! Still can't hold your breath, fire now! Wu Thant was so angry that he scolded.

To tell the truth, the quality of the musketeers of the Han Eight Banners was not much better than that of the musketeers of the Green Battalion, and they did not dare to put their opponents in front of them before shooting, but shot from a distance to listen to the sound.

The dismounted dragoons of the Ming army pressed up step by step, and the musketeers of the Han Eight Banners, who shot from a distance of seventy paces, did not even fire a salvo, and could not pose much of a threat at all from seventy paces away. By the time the Qing army finished firing the bullets in the muskets and hurriedly reloaded, the Ming dragoons only fell a dozen or so people, and the rest were still marching forward in unison.

"Ready!" Xu Shixian shouted.

With only forty paces left, the dragoons raised their double-barreled flintlock muskets.

"Put!" The steel knife in Xu Shixian's hand pointed forward.

More than 1,000 dragoons pulled the trigger one after another, and orange flames immediately rose in the Ming army's formation, a puff of white smoke rose up, and bullets rained down on the Qing army's crowd. At this time, the Qing musketeers were still reloading, and they had no time to raise their guns to fight back, so they could only be shot in vain.

The double-barreled muskets in the hands of the dragoons could be fired twice in a row, and as soon as a volley of salvos ended, the dragoons pulled the trigger again, and another volley was fired, and the Qing soldiers forty paces away fell one after another like harvested rice.

After two rounds of shooting, the Han Eight Banners were shattered, and many people screamed, dropped their weapons and turned around to run, and the hollow array deformed and disintegrated.

"Get on your horse and pursue!" Xu Shixian gave an order.

All the dragoon officers and soldiers whistled and beckoned their horses.

Hearing the call of his master, he trotted up with the war horse twenty paces behind the dragoon. The dragoons jumped on their horses, waved their whips, and slapped their horses' buttocks, driving their horses to rush towards the Qing army, which had collapsed in formation. Before the dragoons arrived in front of the Qing army, they first greeted them with a double-barreled short gun.

The guns continued to fire, and each of the dragoons equipped with two double-barreled short guns was able to fire four times in a row, hitting the flesh and blood of the Han Eight Banners in front of them. After firing the bullets, the dragoons drew their sabers and slashed at the Qing army's Han Eight Banners.

At this time, the Han Eight Banner soldiers had collapsed on the whole line, and all the people were turning their heads and running away, only hating their father and mother for giving birth to two less legs, and they were all desperately trying to surpass their companions, so that their companions were caught up by the Ming army behind, hoping that they could escape, and none of the Han Eight Banner soldiers thought about turning their heads to resist.

Dragoons chased after them from behind, and these dragoons picked up sabers, in fact, they were light cavalry with only light armor, and chasing and slashing infantry was naturally a light cavalry's specialty.

The sword flashed, and the infantry of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty who were caught up were either cut off their heads, knocked over by their horses, or trampled into meat by the horses' hooves. Everyone was running for their lives, and even if someone occasionally turned their heads and tried to resist, they were knocked out by the war horse and flew several paces away, and then they were trampled into meat by the horses' hooves.

Wu Dan, the general of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, ran relatively fast, he had a horse, and when the formation collapsed, he turned his horse's head and ran away with more than a dozen Goshha. However, U Thant could not escape, and more than fifty dragoon scouts roaming the perimeter caught up, and these sentries were both scouts of the dragoons and stragglers of the dragoons, each armed with rifled guns. Seeing the fleeing Qing generals and Goshha, the sentinel rode in pursuit, chased for a distance, took off the rifled gun on horseback, and fired at Wu Dan and others in front.

Despite being on a bumpy horse and running on an opponent, the Sentinel could still hit a target moving at high speed with a rifled gun at a distance of thirty paces.

After a volley of gunfire, U Thant was beaten into a hornet's nest, and more than half of the dozen Goshha were killed.

At the same time, another dragoon, led by Wang Zihao himself, was chasing and killing Feiyangu's Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners.

In front of them were the Manchurian Eight Banners fleeing on horseback, and the Ming dragoons were in hot pursuit. Occasionally, the Mongol cavalry turned around and shot arrows at the back with their bows, using the mangu tactics left behind by their ancestors. It's a pity that these Mongol soldiers have long since fallen, and the arrows they shoot are weak and inaccurate.

Dragoons only had light armor, but light armor was used to resist arrows fired by cavalry bows, so it was not a problem.

A few feathered arrows pierced into the pursuing Ming horses, only a few unlucky people were wounded, and the rest of the Ming officers and soldiers were unscathed and continued the pursuit. In pursuit, the Ming dragoons took off their double-barreled flintlock pistols from their backs, aimed at the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners running in front and pulled the trigger.

Gunfire roared, and several Mongol soldiers who turned to shoot arrows were shot and fell off their horses.

The distance between the two sides was only about thirty paces, and it was such a distance that the Mongols' cavalry bows could play a role and be able to perform Mangu tactics. However, such a distance is also the effective range of the dragoon's flintlock pistol. The chasing Ming army kept firing, and bursts of blood mist erupted from the backs of the Manmeng Eight Banner soldiers, and they fell from their horses one after another.

Hearing the Ming army shooting in the back, and seeing their companions fall off their horses one after another, the Manmeng Eight Banners were so frightened that no one dared to turn around and shoot arrows, and everyone was running desperately.

The dragoons of the Ming army were in hot pursuit, and the dragoons, who had finished the double-barreled flintlock bullets, put the double-barreled flintlock pistol on their backs, took out the double-barreled short guns from both sides of the saddle, and continued the pursuit. When they saw that some Qing soldiers were lagging behind, and the distance was shortened to more than ten steps, the dragoons shot with a double-barreled short gun and knocked down the Eight Banners who were lagging behind.

"Run!" Every Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners soldier was desperately whipping their horses, trying to escape the pursuit of the Ming army as soon as possible.
