In Bashi's shouting, there was still a collapsing bow sounded, a large number of light arrows buzzed forward, tail feathers swept in front of Bashi's eyes, at this time this armor soldier from the Tumut Department did not dare to raise his head at all, although he was wearing a simple helmet, but Bashi had a deep understanding of the power of the firearms of the merchant army, after hearing the explosion of the firecrackers and seeing the firelight, he did not dare to raise his head at all, and after the sound of the bow and arrows rang out, followed by screams and wails one after another. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before Bash's eyes, there were constantly cavalry falling from their horses, first the armoured soldiers, then the shepherds in robes and coats, and in front of him were the dense legs of horses and the falling figures, and then the thud of heavy objects on the ground.

"And artillery, small artillery......"

As if hearing someone scream like this, Bash looked up in a dazed manner, and he felt that his blood was about to freeze.

On the array on the side of the merchant army, the second column has been put up, the first column is getting up and playing, in each company-level phalanx, that is, the phalanx of more than a hundred people, a small artillery is between two wheels, the gunner is lighting the lead with an ignition stick, and the artillery has begun to fire on the position above, the dull roar is mixed with the sharp whistling, and the sound of the fire gun, the screams and screams of the Mongols, the screams of the horses, the dull sound of men and horses falling to the ground, There were also the moans and cries of the dying and the seriously wounded...... The Mongol general tried to put the ranks in order, but he found it in vain, the merchant army was not only in place, but the long rows of soldiers were still holding their bayonets forward, and after the three rounds of beating, the whole battle line moved forward a little, and at this time no one could stop the Chahars from escaping, and there were already quite a few people running back on both wings, and there were cavalry in the middle who were carried forward by inertia, and the whole queue was like a pipe gushing in the pipe, and the water was flowing backwards on both sides, But the water kept pouring in the middle.

Bash is in the crowd, his helmet is lost sometime, and the ancestral iron spear that has been passed down for decades does not know where it fell, now he controls the reins with both hands, and his eyes are anxiously looking left and right, his front and back are all armored soldiers and herdsmen who are riding horses and running to the wings, it is strange to say, if it is a charge just now, it is estimated that there is no one around everyone, if at this time when the horse escapes, it is crowded with people in front and back, left and right, and the horse speed cannot be raised at all, fortunately, the Mongolians can almost walk on horseback, It is almost impossible to see people who have fallen off their horses because of anxiety or rush.

"Putting ......"

Due to the effect of inertia, the Mongolian cavalry was only less than eighty steps away from the large array of firearms of the merchant army, Bashi clearly saw the bright bayonets and the mouth of the black hole hole aimed at his side, there were at least 1,000 Mongolian cavalry on the wide front, but there were more than ten company-level phalanxes on the front, and a round of firing was at least 300 firearms volleys, and at such a close distance, Bashi felt that he had no way to escape alive, he could only start praising the Buddha's name right away, and there were many people who did the same as him, More people are just saying meaningless syllables.

Because the distance was too close, it was obvious to hear the sound of the merchant army officer ordering the release, Bashi followed the sound and looked over, it was a very immature face, certainly not more than twenty years old, only a short fluffy beard on the chin lips, after the young Han officer gave the order, the red flag danced, the drum sounded, and the front fire splashed in front of Bashi's eyes, and there were people around him who were shot, someone was shot in the chest, flesh and blood bloomed, blood splattered, someone was hit in the head, and the brains sprayed all over Bashi's face, and people kept being shot, When a horse is shot, someone is screaming, a horse is screaming, when the horse is shot, it leaps up and presses the knight on its body, and the horse is in front of him, and the knight on the horse falls to the ground, and the person is shot and rolls off the horse...... There was chaos everywhere, Bashi felt that at least 100 people had been killed or slandered in a single blow just now, and then he saw another column of merchant soldiers raising the muskets in their hands, gray military uniforms, black muskets, white bayonets, red military flags, green grass and Yin Hong's blood, war drums rumbled, cannons fell, Bashi's thinking was in confusion, he no longer knew what to do.

At this time, there was a large gap in front of him, Bash didn't have time to think about it, he rode his horse and galloped, half of the whole body was on the right side of the horse, while galloping the horse, Bash desperately chanted the Buddha, hoping that the Buddha would bless him and let him escape from the catastrophe in front of him.

I don't know if it's his delusion, Bash heard the obvious sound of chanting Buddha, then he turned his head to look over, a middle-aged shepherd in his forties who was not wearing armor was also half-sideways chanting Buddha, the horses of the two staggered forward, then the gunfire rang out again, Bash saw that the shepherd's gray jacket suddenly burst blood, the shepherd's eyes were wide, and then blood surged, the man desperately tried to maintain his posture, but unfortunately he still fell off the horse.

Bash's mind was blank, he kept running forward with the horse, and he didn't know how far he had run, the horse was full of sweat, and his own body was also sweating, and the clothes and robes in the cotton armor were soaked with sweat, and there were scattered soldiers and shepherds scattered all around, and several small leaders shouted loudly for people to gather together, but not many people paid attention, Bashi trembled and fell off his horse, lay on the soft green grass, and then shook his hands to untie the water bladder, More than half of the cold water flowed to the ground in a trembling way, and only a small half entered his mouth and flowed down his throat.

Bash quenched his thirst, remembering the desperate look in the middle-aged shepherd's eyes and his efforts to fight death, and the final outcome, he turned over and buried his face deep in the soft turf, and wept in despair.

……

"Happy, happy!" Niu Qinzhong was holding his water bag and pouring water, and the clear water flowed down his beard, wetting a large piece of military uniform on his chest, but the old soldier didn't care, wiped his beard with his backhand, and laughed.

Just ordered to lead the troops to attack and defeat more than 3,000 elite northern captives is the newly established dragoon first regiment and second brigade, the entire brigade has three battalions, each battalion has three companies, plus the artillery company directly under the brigade, the number of each dragoon brigade has reached more than 1,600 people, this number is almost equal to the number of a battalion of the Ming army, and even many generals' battalions have died because of eating empty amounts and drinking soldiers' blood, and the real number is just this number.

The dragoons paid attention to the thick concentration of firepower, not only the brigade level had its own heavy artillery company, each battalion and each company also had its own small artillery ration, plus the twenty-two pounds of large guns with brackets in the casting, the firepower output of each company was considerable. In the Great War, the artillery companies of the major brigades and the regimental battalions and divisional artillery regiments could work together to fight, and the small artillery was directly used by the battalions and companies in front of the battle, plus a well-made infantry gun, the firepower output has far exceeded that of the cavalry regiment of the day, and it is not much different from the ordinary infantry regiment, after all, the ordinary infantry regiment is accompanied by semi-mounted artillery and a large number of small firearms...... In infantry regiments, however, even squadrons were equipped with small firearms such as cannons or tiger guns.

The newly formed dragoon regiment was unexpectedly commanded by Duo'er as the commander of the first regiment, and he was also the deputy commander of the division, which was a kind of comfort, and Yang Sisun did not come to put the score of his boss, but only sent orders from Tangma when assigning tasks...... According to the tradition of the merchant army, no matter what, a military order is a military order, and Duo'er and the others dare not violate it, especially after the Military Justice Department has just disposed of a large number of officers, no one will dare to jump out and touch this kind of mold.

The second brigade was made up of a part of the original cavalry regiment, a small number of officers and veterans of the lancer regiment, infantry who could ride horses and many other troops who were recruited, and a part of the baggage soldiers who applied to join the army, as well as recruits and officers from the Li Zhuang training camp, who were also successively added to the dragoons. But so far, there is a serious shortage of all regiments, because the dragoons have pulled out four regimental racks, but there are only two regiments of cavalry that have been scattered and reorganized, and the number of lancers transferred is very limited, and it is impossible for the military department to transfer in a large number of lancer officers at the risk of serious weakening of the combat effectiveness of the lancers, but the personnel of the third cavalry regiment that were originally prepared were used, and there are still some infantry who can ride horses, and the shelves of each regiment are barely erected.

Of the three brigades of the First Dragoon Regiment, only the second brigade has completed the full staff, and the other two brigades do not even have 300 people, but they just set up a shelf first and slowly receive soldiers, and now everyone is waiting for next year's financial statements, if everything goes well, even if the army is not greatly expanded next year, at least the military division will consider recruiting some soldiers and filling up the dragoons.

Weapons are sufficient, the Ordnance Bureau has been producing a steady stream of infantry guns, since the Apocalypse two years after the finalization, these two years are at most to carry out some fine-tuning of infantry guns, such as how to match the bayonet, there are some spring parts of the materials and manufacturing process improvements, installation process improvements make the gunpowder have more stable performance, in addition to the preparation of gunpowder is also constantly reforming, since the opening of the Japanese route, the Firearms Bureau has enough sulfur, and there has been a lot of progress in the performance improvement of gunpowder, the current infantry guns, There is no way in terms of accuracy, which involves the progress of the entire industrial system, in terms of range, gunpowder power, and the success rate of firing, there is no essential difference between the Brombus front-loading smoothbore gun used by the British army and the French army two hundred years later, the same effective range within 100 meters, the same power will be greatly reduced when used in rainy days, the same loading and releasing procedures, only after the Opium and Chip Wars, the Krenswick rifle appeared, and the use of fire caps was used to fire, the reliability was greatly increased, and the loading was more convenient, And the use in the rain was almost unaffected, after the appearance of this gun, the appearance of the Mini smoothbore gun, the appearance of the fixed ammunition not only accelerated the rate of fire, but also increased the effective range from 100 meters to 500 meters, and then the appearance of the breech gun, then the rifling, the magazine appeared, and in fifty years the musket was updated, it was simply an explosive development.

Simply put, the first crow. The British army used this flintlock smoothbore gun in the hands of the merchant army now, and there was no generation difference, and the Qing army used the arquebus and broadsword spear at the technical level of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and after a lapse of 20 years, the British army has used the Mini gun that fired as usual in the rain and had a range of more than four or five times, and the Qing army still had a big knife spear with a shotgun, so the second Qing army was defeated even worse, and the dignity of the country was decent, and the face was trampled in the mud.
