1515,picking ice

PreviousBack to directoryNext
These carriages arrived at Laoha River as if no one was around.

It was winter at this time, and the climate in the late Ming Dynasty was extremely cold. It was similar to the Northeast in later generations.

Just like in a popular song.

"In the winter in the Northeast, the northwest wind blows, and the snow is thick and the ice is three feet deep."

This place is very close to Inner Mongolia in later generations. In the Yanshan Mountains, the winter is about minus 20 degrees. The Laoha River has long been frozen.

These people seemed to be already familiar with the work of ice harvesting. They used steel drills to quickly cut off large chunks of ice. First, they made an ice slide. Then four or five people used ropes to lift the rectangular ice cubes.

, follow the slide and pull up the ice platform.

With the butt of the carriage facing the ice platform, several people pushed and loaded the ice cubes on top.

Ice is very heavy, and just one layer will reach the carrying capacity.

Soon, they loaded thirty carriages with ice and hurried back. Even though the carriages were pulling seven tons of ice, the two Shire horses could still trot along easily.

Huang Taiji became more and more jealous of the Sharma horses and carriages. The other Eight Banners and Mongolians also showed greedy eyes.

"Stop them, capture them, and bring them to Ben Khan." Huang Taiji finally failed to resist the temptation and ordered.

"One hundred cavalry guards, one hundred and fifty civilians, and I send out a Jia La, and it's a sure thing." Li Youfang said bitterly. That time Zhu Zhu and Hong'er raided his Jia La's station, killing and injuring more than 300 people.

He also robbed Liu Xingzuo's family members, causing him to lose all face. This time, he planned to take revenge in Dingyuan.

Huang Taiji nodded and did not put forward any different opinions. Because last time it was Dingyuan Hou's people who caused Shenyang to panic. There is no harm in being careful.

A group of Han army flag cavalry and infantry rushed towards the front of the convoy, blocking the way of the convoy.

Yu Dexing was a Jia La Ezhen, and he had 300 cavalry and 800 infantry. The infantry had 500 people with chainmail. His Jia La was not full of people. There were only 1,100 people. This was also common at that time.

Condition.

Just like the Qianhu in the Ming Dynasty, in fact, there may only be four to five hundred soldiers.

The cavalrymen on both sides of the convoy saw Jiannu soldiers and horses blocking their way in the distance. Immediately, thirty people came to the front to confront these people.

"Listen, you have been captured by our Qing Dynasty. Put down your weapons immediately and drive the carriage back with us. Otherwise, we will kill them all. Never..."

A hundred households holding Han military flags were still making noise. Suddenly there was a gunshot.

His voice stopped suddenly, and he looked at the bloody hole on his chest in disbelief. Then he fell off the horse with a thud.

There were only 100 soldiers out of 250 people, but they dared to open fire first against a Jia La.

Before Yu Dexing could react from the shock, he heard a man with one arm opposite him say the word "Get out!"

Yu Dexing was furious. He originally wanted to show off in front of Huang Taiji and capture these carriages and people to minimize damage, because these things and people were needed by Huang Taiji.

Unexpectedly, these people were so arrogant that they dared to tell him to get out. His face suddenly turned white and red. He waved his hand and said, "Kill the cavalry, and bring back the civilian husbands, horses, and carriages."

The entire Jia La troop immediately whistled and rushed forward. On the opposite side, thirty cavalrymen more than ten meters away quickly pulled out six-shot revolvers from both sides of the saddle.

The servant's muskets had been retired at this time and were given to security personnel. Now the weapons of the servants include a revolver. On the front of the cavalry's saddle, six fusilier muskets have been replaced by six

Six-shot revolver.

These well-trained dragoons drew their guns without hesitation and fired their bows left and right with both hands, unleashing a burst of fire that covered their heads and faces.

At a distance of more than ten meters, the pistol is best used. At this distance, the pistol is fast and accurate. It is almost impossible to dodge.

Suddenly, the Han army flags rushing up in front fell down one after another. With six rounds of bullets, there was almost no need to aim. At this distance, the directionality of the arm was very good, and the revolver almost hit wherever it pointed.

These servants are well-trained. Each of them has fired tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition during training. At this time, it is almost no brainer to fire, just pull the trigger.

They fired their guns very fast, and they couldn't do it if they were not fast, because many of them were ruined. After emptying two guns, they quickly changed guns and continued to fire. Thirty-six rounds of bullets were fired, and the opponent's various armors could not stop the bullets.

The power penetrates directly.

Iron armor was the most defensive protective gear in the cold weapon era. People with lower status could not afford to wear it. But this man's crazy shooting of thirty-six bullets directly knocked the cavalry on the opposite side off his back.

They fell off their horses one by one. The Han Army Banners also gave up on capturing them alive, and immediately bent their bows and arrows, shooting towards the opposite side. Some of the Han Army Banners were directly blinded by revolvers. They ran around in chaos.

"Humph! The mob." Yu Youming snorted coldly.

The 800 infantrymen behind saw that the cavalry had suffered a heavy loss. They quickly joined the battle group and charged forward with their spears.

As long as the cavalry fires, their magazines will be emptied.

Thirty people, each fired 36 bullets in an instant. Almost all of them did not miss the target, and they all hit the people who were now wailing on the ground.

They were well-trained, and they quickly drew their guns, put them back into their holsters immediately after the shooting, and then pulled out the next pair of pistols. Their speed was so fast that it was dizzying. They beat the gangsters almost in the blink of an eye.

Then they put away their pistols, picked up the grenades hanging on their saddles, and threw them over.

This immediately sent the cavalry and infantry flying around like headless flies.

This kind of grenade used by cavalry relies on shock waves to kill the enemy. A large number of infantry and cavalry were blown away in pieces.

Dust and smoke filled the air, and for a while the dust rose into the sky. It was impossible to see the situation ahead. There were only sounds of pistol shooting and grenade explosions.

After firing thirty-six rounds of bullets and throwing three grenades, thirty cavalrymen drew out their cavalry swords, raised their shining sabers high, and began to slash at the chaotic enemy troops.

On the surface, these people look like old farmers. But in fact, they fight very fiercely. They are not only well-trained, but also well-equipped. These Han military flags are no match for them.

These people don't look like they're wearing armor, but the coats they wear outside their cotton-padded clothes are made of stab-proof fabric.

The seventy cavalrymen from behind also rushed forward and joined in the actual combat training of horseback riding and slashing.

The moment the fight started, a captain of the servants rushed in front of Yu Dexing, which made Han Junqi let out a collective exclamation.

Many people saw a man in the smoke and chop off Yu Dexing's head with a knife.

When Yu Dexing died, the entire Jiala collapsed instantly. The remaining people fled in all directions.

The battlefield was deathly silent.
