"Bang..." A dull gunshot sounded on the battlefield. The leader of the musket regiment led the team aimed steadily at a court officer riding on a war horse dozens of steps away, pulling the trigger.

For the fire gun, the range of dozens of steps is still very accurate.

Therefore, the moment the first gunshot sounded on the battlefield, the officer targeted by the regiment commander was dismissed and turned into a corpse...

On a quiet battlefield, gunfire is an order.

The moment the regiment commander shot out the lead bullet, the two thousand soldiers under his command pulled the trigger at his target without hesitation...

Suddenly, a dull and dense gunfire sounded on the battlefield one after another, just like firecrackers.

Although the white smoke produced by musket shooting spread the battlefield as soon as possible, blocking everyone's vision.

However, the screams that kept ringing on the official road have clearly told everyone that the imperial army on the official road will definitely suffer heavy losses.

After all, there were more than 1,800 musketeers who fired the gun at the same time.

On the official road, the imperial army escorted this horse team had only one thousand people...

Therefore, after firing the first round of lead bullets, more than a thousand musketeers directly gave up the action of continuing to load the musket.

Instead, he pulled out the bayonet from his waist and inserted it firmly into the barrel. Then, it was like a leopard ready to go, rushing out of the hiding place and launching an attack on the imperial army that had been in chaos on the official road...

One thousand eight hundred lead bullets, within a distance of fifty steps, killed as many as 500 officers in just a moment.

Therefore, when the 1,800 musketeers, holding the muskets that had been bayonetized and yelled, were less than 500 people able to continue fighting with the Tiger and Leopard Army.

More importantly, many of the remaining less than 500 officials were shocked by the sudden blow and did not react for a long time.

He looked at the tiger and leopard army with a stunned look on his face and inserted the bayonet into his chest without any reaction.

Therefore, the moment one thousand eight hundred musketeers rushed to Guandao, more than two hundred official troops fell directly into the first round of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

The official army, which had less than 500 people, lost more than 200 people in a blink of an eye...

The remaining two hundred remnants of the military. No matter how powerful it is, it cannot be the opponent of more than one,800 musketeers...

Soon, the fight that happened on the official road ended.

The remaining 200 people in the official army were killed, except for less than 100 people. The remaining 100 people, under the threat of death, raised their hands and surrendered directly, becoming prisoners of the Tiger and Leopard Army...

Looking at the official army who had been prisoners on the official road and were shaking all over his body, he saw mules and horses, bags of rice that were hard to eat in the north. The leader's tight face finally showed a smile from the bottom of his heart.

However, this smile did not last long and was covered by seriousness again...

Because, eliminating the imperial court's grain and horse team and intercepting all food and wages is just his first task.

Next, there is another more important task to complete, that is, to capture the food and salary supplement land of the Ganning New Army, Qingchuan County...

While completely cutting off the supply of food and wages for the Ganning New Army, the road to retreat to Sichuan was blocked. The main force of the Tiger and Leopard Army was completely eliminated, creating prerequisites...

Thinking of this, the commander with a serious face directly ordered: "Guard Company, Cavalry Reconnaissance Company, and Baggage Team. Stay behind to clean the battlefield and guard the prisoners... the artillery and three musket battalions will gather immediately and attack and advance towards Qingchuan County. Take it down..."

Although the dense gunfire broke out on the official road, although it was very short, it still reached everyone's ears in Qingchuan County...

Therefore, the moment the gunfire sounded, a dull horn sounded in Qingchuan County.

Teams of government troops being trained were like war machines that had been fully rushing toward the city wall under the leadership of their respective officers. A large number of city guard equipment were also transported by some government troops to the city...

At this time, someone may ask, is this still the vulnerable official army of the imperial court?

If the imperial army was so powerful, it would not have been defeated by the Later Jin army with a total force of less than 100,000, and even the country would be lost...

That's right, the real imperial army does not have this quality.

However, Emperor Chongzhen spent tens of millions of taels of silver to compare with the Tiger and Leopard Army, the 100,000 new imperial army trained in a whole year had this quality...

In order to prevent the Tiger and Leopard Army from extending its tentacles to Sichuan, which has a large amount of taxes to the court every year.

Emperor Chongzhen directly drew 20,000 new troops and stationed the two provinces of Sichuan and Gansu to the ground.

The Qingchuan County, where the Tiger and Leopard Army is about to attack, is not only a food and salary supply land for the tens of thousands of new troops of Ganning, but also a must-pass way to enter Sichuan from Gansu.

Therefore, although Qingchuan County is very small, it has stationed the 5,000 new troops that Emperor Chongzhen gave high expectations...

In addition to the 1,000 people who were just wiped out by the Tiger and Leopard Army, at this moment, there should be a total of 4,000 new troops in the small Qingchuan County town.

As a new army built by Emperor Chongzhen spent a lot of money, the equipment of these 4,000 new army can definitely be described as words that make people jealous...

The imperial court imitated and purchased from the Tiger and Leopard Army, and almost hit a single shot for each person...

The number of grenades imitated by the imperial court reached an astonishing number of as many as five...

Of course, the Tiger and Leopard Army is not worried at all about these firearms, especially muskets.

Because, whether it was purchased from the Tiger and Leopard Army or created by the court itself, although there is no difference between the Tiger and Leopard Army equipment in terms of rate of fire, there is a huge difference in range...

There is a total of fifty steps between the two.

Therefore, in musket shooting, the Tiger and Leopard Army had an absolute advantage.

However, in addition to muskets and grenades, the artillery equipped by the new imperial army made the Tiger and Leopard Army take a lot of attention.

Because of the loss of the Tiger and Leopard Army artillery many times, Emperor Chongzhen attached great importance to artillery when forming a new army, and could also fire red cannons that could fire flowering bullets.

Although the imperial army defending Qingchuan had only 5,000 people... However, the five thousand new army was equipped with an artillery battalion, and it was equipped with red-clothed cannons. The range of eighteen guns exceeded two miles, and the red-clothed cannons purchased directly from Portugal and other countries...

Regarding these, especially the fact that the new army of the imperial court equipped a large number of red-clothed cannons, the Tiger and Leopard Army, which were preparing to attack Qingchuan County, did not last until.

If you say it well, only by knowing yourself and your opponent can you win a hundred battles...
