Chapter 97 One to fifty
The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty...
All the soldiers could feel the movements and toughness of these people. This was the real Eight Banners Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty. Those people just now were just some Han people.
"All ready, aim at the cavalry."
Zhang Dashan was not afraid at all. He knew that he had just started fighting now, but it was nothing. The target of the cavalry was much larger than that of the infantry. As long as we were stable, we would definitely be able to shoot one at a time. If we couldn't hit the man, wouldn't we still hit the horse?
Although there were only a dozen cavalrymen, these people were really fearless. Seeing more than 30 people here holding muskets, they rushed over without even thinking about it. Are these people's minds filled with water?
Zhang Dashan saw it very clearly. Originally, the soldiers of the Qing and Han dynasties were going back, but after seeing these Manchu cavalry, they could only run back honestly.
Judging from their dancing hands and feet, they should be talking about the terribleness of these muskets, but unfortunately, the Manchu soldiers didn't have the time to hear that, so they pulled out a whip and beat them up, driving them to continue to the battlefield.
"Warriors, don't listen to the nonsense of the Han people. In this place where there are people living in the world, only our Eight Banners Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty is the most powerful. Rush up and exchange our steel knives for slaves and wealth."
An officer from a cavalry squad said loudly, and after that, he rushed up with his subordinates waving his sword.
After so long, Zhang Dashan's flintlock rifle had been loaded with bullets. I couldn't see who was the officer just now, so I'll click on your name first.
This guy is also an elite member among the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry of Manchuria. He dares to go into battle to kill the enemy with his bare arms. Now he has already sprinted to the fastest.
Although there are about thirty people on the other side, as long as they are allowed to rush in with a dozen cavalrymen, those thirty people have no use at all. Killing them is as simple as cutting melons and vegetables.
Unfortunately, his wish may be difficult to achieve in his lifetime.
When Zhang Dashan aimed at him, his life entered the countdown.
I was about to rush over, isn't there a distance of 100 meters? For their Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, a distance of 100 meters is still a matter?
With just a moment of effort, our blade can cut off the enemy's bones and enjoy that kind of pleasure.
The first thing this Qing officer saw was that white smoke was rising from the other party's position.
Then I felt my whole body pause.
Zhang Dashan didn't hit the guy's horse head.
The war horse was running at high speed. After being hit by the dock, the whole body fell directly. The guy riding on the horse also knew that it was going to be a bad thing.
But all this came too suddenly. He was not ready at all. He waved the saber with one hand and pulled the reins with the other hand, and it was instantly empty, and he fell into the ground.
Hearing two clicks, he knew that some bone on his body should have made a profit, and the speed just now was too fast.
Even if you have prepared yourself, you can't guarantee that you will be foolproof. What's more, you didn't expect this just now that the opponent's musket was so powerful.
In the first round of shooting, only four cavalrymen were killed, mainly because their speed was too fast, and the shooting level here decreased.
"Shoot with a pistol."
The cavalry's speed was too fast. Before they could recover, the remaining cavalry rushed to within fifty meters.
So Zhang Dashan couldn't care about using the flintlock rifle, so he took out his pistol and pulled the trigger at a Qing cavalry in front of him.
Since the company commander ordered the use of pistols, the remaining people did not need to line up. They took out the pistols from their waists and opened fire at the cavalry in front. More than 30 people instantly shot out nearly 200 bullets.
There were only a dozen Qing cavalry in front of them, and you can imagine what the result was.
Although the power of pistol bullets is relatively small and far from keeping up with the bullets of flintlock rifles, their number is too large.
These cavalry fell to the ground one after another, and some rushed forward several meters with inertia, but they only created some dust, which could not bring any pressure to the Ming army.
"Swap bullets."
When everyone fell down, the soldiers breathed a little relieved, but the company commander's voice came quickly. They had indeed forgotten this matter just now. On the battlefield, they must always ensure that there was a bullet in the gun.
Most of the Qing soldiers were dead, but there were still several people lying on the ground and moaning, and were shot several times. In today's era, they didn't know how to treat gunshot wounds. It is conceivable that they would soon die next.
But these people don’t understand why the Ming army’s combat effectiveness suddenly became so strong?
Since Nurhaci started his army in Liaodong, they have never felt the strong combat effectiveness of the Ming army. Whether it was Yuan Chenghuan or Zu Dashou, these people could only gain a temporary advantage and could not suppress them forever.
Even during Yuan Chonghuan's most glorious period, there were no such excellent soldiers. What's going on now?
The Eight Banners Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, which they were proud of, could not even rush through their queues, let alone fight with them.
After entering the pass, there were often only a few hundred cavalrymen, and they were able to chase thousands of Ming troops around. Now there was not much difference in the number of people on both sides, but they were defeated miserably.
"Company Commander?"
Half a minute passed, but no one stood up, and the soldiers around Zhang Dashan began to feel restless.
"Three people and one team went over to check. When they met someone who was not angry, they would send them away first."
If you are a veteran, you can check the Qing soldiers. It is best to leave two tongues, but the people under you are all new recruits, so don’t be difficult for them to do this.
It is a great contribution to being able to kill all these people. If you still want to keep a living, you might have some trouble. Zhang Dashan's judgment is very correct.
In addition to these soldiers, there were many war horses lying on the ground wailing, which made Zhang Dashan feel very distressed.
Our army is in the south, and the horses are not as tall as those in the north. We have lost so much at once. This is really a sin!
"No one gasped, they were all dead."
First of all, the soldiers who went past checked all these Qing soldiers and found that no one was alive.
More than fifty soldiers from the Qing and Han dynasties and more than ten Manchu soldiers, nearly seventy people died.
There is only one injured here.
A battle loss ratio of 1 to 50...
