Chapter 411: Three rounds of volleys break the formation

The Ming army's 5,000 muskets fired a salvo, and 5,000 bullets were fired at the same time, like a torrential rain, splashing on the positions of the Eight Banners New Army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe power of 5,000 muskets can be imagined. The guns roared, the flames were connected, the smoke of gunpowder rose up, and the bullets like a torrential rain swallowed the Eight Banners New Army in the front row.

"Reload, three steps forward!" Wang Jinzhong's subordinate Li Wenguang gave an order.

The musketeers of the 5,000 mountain soldiers wearing rattan armor stood on the ground, took out the fixed ammunition from the bullet pouch on his waist, bit the tail, stuffed the bullet into the muzzle, compacted it with a strip, and then inserted the strip back under the barrel, then took off the medicine primer pot on his waist, squeezed it with the nozzle at the medicine pool, poured the primer into it, and covered the medicine pool cover, that is, the loading was completed. The process of loading the bullets took only a dozen seconds before and after, and another volley was fired.

The roaring gunfire was mixed with the firing of the rifled rifles of the mountain army, and the scattered stragglers on the battlefield were specially aimed at the officers of the Qing army who wore high lightning rod helmets and bright armor to shoot accurately.

The second salvo of the smoothbore gun once again opened a gap in the formation of the Qing army.

"Reload, keep shooting forward!" Li Wenguang yelled.

Wang Jinzhong, who was standing on the tower, put down the binoculars, turned his head and ordered to his own soldiers: "Pass the order, hand-to-hand combat soldiers attack!" ”

The small flags of the pro-soldiers waved, and the hand-to-hand soldiers of the 5,000 mountain troops arranged on the two wings shouted and rushed towards the Qing army's position.

The Eight Banners New Army saw the five thousand musketeers in front of them reload their bullets again, and they knew that as long as they took more than a dozen breaths, the deadly gunners in front could shoot deadly bullets again, and at this moment, the formation of the Eight Banners New Army completely collapsed, no matter what flintlock pistols or turtledoves were, they were discarded like garbage, and everyone turned around and ran.

"Kill the dog!" Seeing that the Qing army's formation was broken by the Ming army's musketeers after only three volleys, the Ming army's hand-to-hand combat soldiers waved the weapons in their hands and rushed towards the Qing army's formation with a shout.

"Oh my God! Palm Thunder is coming! Some Qing soldiers turned their heads to look, only to see the hand-to-hand combat soldiers of the Ming army throwing overwhelming iron bumps.

Locust-like grenades smashed into the fleeing crowd of the Eight Banners New Army, and explosions occurred one after another, with firelight and explosions one after another, and bursts of blood mist were blown up in the crowd of the Eight Banners New Army.

Before the smoke of the explosion dissipated, the mountain soldiers wearing rattan armor and holding shields, axes or maces had already rushed into the crowd of Qing troops. When an axe or nail hammers are hit on the body, a hole immediately appears in the cotton armor, and the bones of the Qing soldiers who were hit are shattered, the internal organs are broken, and the mouth spits blood and falls.

Some Qing soldiers were beaten on their helmets with axes or maces by the mountain soldiers of the Ming army, and the iron helmets immediately sunken down, their brains burst out, and their eyes flew out.

The chaotic Eight Banners New Army completely collapsed, and they found that the armor on their bodies not only could not save their lives, but became a burden for their own escape, so the helmet on their heads, the cotton armor on their bodies, as long as the things that could hinder their escape were thrown away, everyone lost their armor and fled without their lives.

"Kill the dog!" The Ming musketeers also loaded their bayonets and joined the pursuit of the Qing army.

"Incompetence! It's simply incompetent! "Tu Hai didn't expect that the emperor and the empress dowager Lafayette spent a lot of money to create the elite Eight Banners New Army equipped with new weapons with the help of Nan Huairen, and it was so vulnerable! He scolded hatefully, and shouted hoarsely: "Don't retreat!" Resist! Resist me! ”

"Hold on! No refund! The leaders of the Eight Banners New Army let out a hoarse roar.

But to no avail, the formation of the New Army of the Eight Banners was broken by three rounds of fire from the musketeers of the Ming army, and it was bombarded indiscriminately by two rounds of grenades, and the morale completely fell to the bottom, and all the people were fleeing without their lives.

The personal soldier standing beside Wang Jinzhong said: "General, don't Tartars often say that the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers are invincible? What other Jurchen is not enough to be ten thousand, and is invincible to ten thousand? That's still the Eight Banners of Cold Weapons. Today, these Eight Banner soldiers, or the Eight Banner Soldiers equipped with new weapons, how can they be so vulnerable? ”

Wang Jinzhong sneered: "What Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers, invincible; What Jurchen is not satisfied with 10,000, and 10,000 are invincible! It's all just a myth! Now as soon as they fight, the myth of the invincibility of the Eight Banners has been completely shattered! ”

The Qing army's formation had completely collapsed, and the hoarse roar of Tuhai, who had pressed the formation, had no effect. The musketeers of the Eight Banners retreated like the waters of the ebbing tide and stormed the artillery positions of the Qing army. Hordes of defeated soldiers poured over, and the Qing gunners also dropped their cannons, turned around and ran.

Seeing that the defeated army was about to completely collapse the formation, Niyahan arched his hand to Tuhai and said, "Master Tu, there are still ten cavalry leaders behind us, let the cavalry go out to attack the thief infantry!" The hand-to-hand combat soldiers of the thieves are all short-armed soldiers, and there are no pikemen, so they can't stop the impact of our Eight Banners Iron Cavalry! ”

Tuhai nodded: "Okay!" Let the cavalry attack! Attack the hand-to-hand soldiers on the two wings of the thieves first, and then defeat the firecrackers in the middle! The old man doesn't believe it, the thieves don't have pikemen, and they can stop our Eight Banners Iron Cavalry! ”

Ghent Baturu received the order and personally led the 3,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners of ten Zuo Commanders to rush out of the rear formation. The Eight Banners cavalry scattered to the two wings, forming an outflanking trend, and killed the hand-to-hand soldiers on both wings of the Ming army.

"The Tartar cavalry is coming! Pass the order and change the formation! Wang Jinzhong ordered his own soldiers.

The pro-soldiers waved flags in their hands and gave orders in the language of the flags. When the officers of the Ming army in front saw the orders sent from behind, the big flags in each formation swayed, the small flags in the hands of the grassroots officers danced, and the hand-to-hand soldiers who were originally pursuing the Qing army immediately retreated, and the stragglers mixed into the formation of smoothbore gunners, and the musketeers protruded outwards and formed a hollow formation.

"Fire!" Wang Jinzhong gave an order.

The Ming artillery arranged in the rear set up the artillery, and the six twelve-pounder field guns and twelve six-pounder field guns made a deafening roar, and the solid shells loaded in the barrels in advance smashed towards the Qing cavalry rushing out on both flanks with a whistling sound. At the same time, six six-pounder howitzers also spewed fire, and the flowering shells were like meteor firestorms, rushing straight towards the Qing army's horses.

Field artillery is actually cannon, and the direct field artillery shells fly fast, and in the blink of an eye, eighteen shells have smashed into the crowd of horses and horses of the Qing cavalry. The cannonball with powerful energy collided with the war horse, and the shot war horse was immediately hit and bounced off the ground and flew backwards.

Eighteen shells pulled out eighteen blood lines in the Qing cavalry and horses, raising a burst of blood mist.
