Chapter 802: Tiger Squat Cannon
There was no need to boost morale in this battle, and the soldiers on both sides knew that their emperor was standing behind, and as long as they won the battle, they would not be able to treat themselves, so they were all full of energy to fight a beautiful battle.
The Manchu soldiers had already begun to charge with all their might, and there was no need for bows and arrows and crossbows at all at this distance, as long as they rushed to the front of the closer, they could fight in close combat, and with the Manchu and crossbows, they gave up their advantage.
Most of the Manchu banner people came out of the black mountain white water, even if these people have not experienced the bloody battle of their ancestors, but the bloodline is always wrong, they are all taller and stronger than the people of the Ming Dynasty, so they have a certain advantage in close combat, and it is definitely a wise choice to give up the bow and arrow and strong crossbow of the two sides at this time and choose hand-to-hand combat.
At this time, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty took out a short-barreled musket from their bodies and aimed it at the Manchu soldiers at the front is a shot, and the Manchu soldiers were stunned for a moment, the muskets did not use the fire rope? Or did those people just light the arquebus behind their shields?
Before they could react, those soldiers raised their short-barreled muskets again, and the second gunpowder hit the Manchu soldiers again, and looking at the meaning of the Ming army, there was no intention of retreating at all, and after loading the ammunition, it was another gunpowder.
The pace of the Manchu soldiers all slowed down, although they were not afraid of death but they did not want to die so unclear, if the Ming Dynasty had this kind of firearms, how to fight this battle, directly lined up in a row and shot continuously at their own camp, the time to reload the bullet was only three or five breaths of time, there was no time to run over, seeing the comrades around him fall one by one, all the soldiers looked at their main general.
Their commander was quick to make a decision, and immediately gave the order: "The whole army retreats a hundred steps." ”
Although Kangxi was watching from behind, he couldn't kill so many Manchu soldiers for a momentary fight, if so, I was afraid that the emperor would not spare him.
The Manchu army immediately changed its rear to the front and retreated, but fortunately the muskets did not ring again, only some bows and arrows sent them back.
Kangxi didn't blame the soldiers in front of him, he really should have retreated when he encountered this kind of thing, and a hard rush could only cause unnecessary damage.
"I remember that there was such a short-barreled musket in the palace, but it was not very stable, and many royal children used it to hunt and injured themselves, and then it was collected, right?"
"Back to the emperor, it's true." Beside him is the eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the official system is five products.
The monarchs of the Qing Dynasty hated eunuchs when they read the history of the Ming Dynasty, so they were very strict with the eunuchs.
"If this is what kind of bullshit firearm Zhu Hetan said, it will inevitably make me a little too disappointed, we already have this thing."
The eunuchs around him consciously did not talk, this is the emperor's own talk, and it is easy to make taboos when talking indiscriminately.
But a prince next to him opened his mouth: "Your Majesty, this thing is really powerful, our Qing warriors are extremely brave, and they will also be repelled by this short-barreled musket, and we are afraid that we will not be able to get close at all. ”
Kangxi nodded: "Although that Zhu Hetan said a few words of nonsense, but a few words still make sense, this kind of thing should indeed let the craftsmen of the firearms battalion study it, but don't go deep into this way, we will immediately take over the world, and it is not advisable to indulge in the small way. ”
"The emperor is famous."
At this time, the general in front had already run to the front: "The last general is incompetent, please atone for the emperor." ”
"Qianming is treacherous, you can't blame you for this, let your shield bearers continue to move forward with their shields, I don't believe they can still penetrate the shield."
With a range of 200 paces and an effective killing distance of less than 100 paces, it was not easy to penetrate the shield, and at such a time, the Manchu army had already rushed to the front.
The general's eyes lit up: "The emperor is shengming, the last general will go and prepare." So saying, he immediately turned his horse's head and ran back.
Cheng Xiaolian looked at Chen Cheng'an beside him: "The Manchu army is going to kill again, what do you guess they think?" ”
Chen Chengan scratched his head: "Probably use bows and arrows to restrict the muskets from moving forward with the soldiers, after all, the range of the bow and arrow is not much different from the flintlock pistol, if it is a character like an archer, although it shoots farther, but it can't shoot a few arrows before it has to rest, otherwise their arms will be useless." ”
Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "They don't know that the flintlock pistol can only shoot at most six times at a time, otherwise it is easy to explode, and I have already ordered that no one is allowed to shoot the seventh gunpowder unless it is a matter of life and death." Now that they had stopped for two quarters of an hour, the flintlock pistol was almost restored, and I had expected five shots, followed by hand-to-hand combat. ”
"Your Majesty, didn't you say that you smashed all the firearms on them today to open their eyes?"
"I said that I was going to smash the firearms, but I didn't say that they would open their eyes, as long as they were in pain, they would naturally realize the power of the firearms in our hands, but what the firearms looked like, I didn't plan to show them."
The Manchu Qing over there began to beat the drums, and as the drums accelerated, the soldiers began to run hard, Cheng Xiaolian saw that the soldiers in front of him were holding big shields in their hands, and laughed: "You see that they are not very stupid, they know how to hold shields to defend against muskets." ”
The shield bearers in the front row of the Ming Dynasty held their shields indifferently, and a row of people behind them fixed the position of the artillery and aimed it at the Manchu military formation.
"This kind of artillery is only thirty pounds, it is a new product of Nanzhen Fusi, the power is not small, after it is fixed with a pulley, it can't be seen at all during the march, so that Kangxi can see what a mobile artillery is."
You must know that the weight of the red-coated cannon is one point six tons, and the firing range is about two thousand meters, this kind of artillery is small, although it does not have such a high range, but it uses the traditional flowering shell technology of the Ming Dynasty, and reforms the formula of gunpowder, in general, there are still two or three hundred meters of killing.
During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has developed the tiger squat cannon, this kind of artillery weighs only seventy-two pounds, and the people of Nanzhen Fusi are based on the prototype of the tiger squat cannon to transform this new type of tiger squat cannon, this kind of artillery is basically useless if it is used to defend the city, but it can definitely hit the enemy by surprise when used in the military formation.
Right in front of the eyes of the Manchu army, the shield hand in front of the Ming army suddenly dodged to the side, revealing the black cannon barrel behind, this kind of artillery has no aiming and gun carriage at all, and can only be hit by feeling, but so many short distances, let alone no aiming, even with eyes closed, can hit people.
