Chapter 565: The Power of Firearms
Duoduo's violent jump is like thunder, defeat is defeated, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, whether it is Taizu or Huang Taiji have suffered defeat, although the elite of the Eight Banners is unparalleled, but there is no invincible opponent, if you meet a strong opponent, it is expected to suffer a loss, but the four thousand troops were defeated by the three thousand troops, this can not be said, let alone in the field? It's a shame to be home!
Tan Tai and He Luo will be full of shame and shame.
"Lord Wang, you want to kill the two of us, we have nothing to say, but, this Tianwei army is really powerful, originally we have gradually stabilized the situation, began to turn the situation around, who would have thought, half of the waist from the right rear to kill out of a cavalry, the number is not much, but one or two hundred, but no one has a powerful firearm in their hands, extremely powerful, launched two hundred steps away, it can still hurt people, and the crosshair is extremely high, even if we shoot arrows above a hundred steps, No one was on the right head two hundred steps away, and when we were caught off guard, our soldiers were beaten by people's firearms, and the casualties were huge, and the generals of the Ming army took the opportunity to attack our flank with all their might, causing our flank to collapse directly in a short period of time, and it was too late for us to reverse the tide of the battle, so we could only withdraw our troops in a hurry, and were chased out all the way for forty or fifty miles......"
He Luohui's face was full of bitterness, and he replied astringently.
Firearm?
Duoduo's heart was shocked, the Qing army had already known the power of Tianwei's firearms before entering the customs, that Zhu Jie didn't know where to get the secret method, created a musket army, the power is huge, in the process of fighting with Li Zi, sent back an extremely important role, not only that, even when the accident happened in Manchuria, Haoge had suffered a big loss, if it wasn't for Zhu Jie's mercy, it was not the horse's hooves that were shot at that time, but the head of the prince Hauge!
"He Luohui, the firearms of the Tianwei Army are really so powerful?"
Dodor asked in a deep voice.
He Luohui nodded and replied: "Lord Wang, what the two of us said is no exaggeration, two hundred steps away, if a soldier is directly hit by the vital point, it will definitely be a life, even if it is hit by the body, the armor on the body is difficult to protect, once it enters within a hundred steps, it can even directly penetrate the human body, such a firearm, we have never encountered it in the process of fighting with the Ming army before......"
Duoduo's eyes flickered, firearms have always been what the Ming army is best at, and the Eight Banners suffered a lot under the firearms of the Ming army, but they didn't expect that the Ming army would have more powerful firearms!
"Come on, call Wu Sangui for me! Why has he never heard of such a powerful firearm? ”
Tan Tai shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Lord Wang, I'm afraid that Wu Sangui doesn't know about it, these weapons, it seems that only the Tianwei army has equipment, we didn't find that the capital army has equipment when we fought with the capital division before, if it is only used on a small scale, only limited to the Tianwei army, then Wu Sangui has been sitting in Shanhaiguan, and it is reasonable not to know about it......"
He Luohui continued: "Lord Wang, this Tianwei army is really different from other Ming armies, other Ming armies are equipped with a large number of firearms, and even carry chariots, which are used to hold on to the cavalry, but the Tianwei army is all cavalry, except for the musketeers, there are no firearms such as bird guns and three-eyed eye guns, and they are facing each other head-on, and they will directly fight against us, and their combat power will not fall behind at all, which is really a big trouble for our elite henchmen of the Eight Banners......"
Duoduo nodded, a trace of gloom appeared in his heart, he had already received the information, this Tianwei army, not only the thousands of cavalry that appeared in Texas, the Tianwei army is divided into five towns, of which except for Li Dingguo's department far away from the border of Henan and Hubei, the other four towns have all arrived at the junction of northern Henan and Zhili, and the total strength has even reached 60,000 people, plus the strength of that Tongzhou town, this force is really not weak, and it can even compete with the main force of the Qing army led by itself.
Now that there is another firearm with such a huge power in the Tianwei Army, wouldn't the Tianwei Army be even more powerful? It's not good, even in the next big war, the Eight Banners will suffer a big loss!
"He Luohui, let me ask you, among the three thousand cavalry, how many muskets are equipped?"
Dodor shouted.
He Luohui hesitated for a moment and replied: "Lord Wang, the minions dare not conceal it, the musketeers in the cavalry of the Tianwei Army should be about one hundred and fifty, not more than two hundred, not less than one hundred, as for the entire Tianwei Army, the minions thought that they would not be equipped too much, if they were too much equipment, they would have been obtained by our intelligence officers a long time ago, and it would not have been until now, we have not figured out the bottom of this firearm......"
Duoduo nodded slightly, what He Luo would say is not unreasonable, the Tianwei Army should not be equipped too much, but, even if it is not too much, even according to what the two of them said, the entire Tianwei Army is only prepared with one or two thousand such firearms, which is still not what the elite of the Eight Banners can withstand now, the range of more than two hundred steps is too terrifying, I think I am known for my arm strength, and it can only guarantee the lethality of about two hundred steps, two hundred steps away, I am afraid that even a rabbit will not be able to shoot to death, but among the elite of the Eight Banners, How many people can think of themselves as strong as they are, proficient in mounted archery? An ordinary soldier can already be considered an excellent archer at a distance of one hundred and twenty paces, and an ordinary archer can't even hit a hundred paces!
However, these musketeers are different, the range is more than two hundred paces, which means that as long as there are enough muskets, that day the mighty army will have enough musketeers with a range of more than two hundred paces, and the level of shooting is not below that of his own general, there is no doubt that in terms of long-range attack power, the elite of the Eight Banners is about to fall into the disadvantage, and the elite of the Eight Banners is best at raiding and cavalry shooting.
Duoduo said in a deep voice: "Okay, the two of you go down to reorganize the troops, settle the wounded, and send an order to Wu Sangui in front, asking him to be more careful, don't be careless, be sure to send scouts, find out the deployment of the Ming army of the Daimyo Mansion, especially those firearms, it's best to get a batch for this king!" ”
He Luohui and Tan Tai hurriedly agreed, turned around and retreated.
Duoduo took a deep breath and said with the help of the order: "Someone, send an order to the three armies, the army will march overnight, approaching the direction of the Daimyo's Mansion, this king will have a good meeting with the Tianwei Army in the Daimyo's Mansion for a while!" ”
