In the train carriage, Zhu Cijiong is standing in the connecting passage between the two carriages, his right hand has been raised.
When the train factory first built the prototype car, there were only Weng's connecting mechanisms between the carriages, and temporary aisles were needed to pass through.
But now, connecting channels have been installed between the carriages.
There are doors in the connecting passages between the carriages, but all doors are open at this time.
However, all the iron windows on the left and right sides of the carriage were tightly closed.
Feeling that more and more thieves were gathering outside the carriage, all the Ming army soldiers held their breath and waited quietly for King Ding to give the order to open fire.
Suddenly, the gunner in the carriage signaled to Zhu Cijiong.
The thieves took off the disguise of the shooting hole and prepared to drill through the shooting hole! Da
At this moment, Zhu Cijiong's right hand raised high came down with force.
"King Ding has an order, open the window!" The messenger guarding the passage connecting the carriages quickly conveyed Zhu Cijiong's military order.
So, except for the locomotive, the iron windows on the left sides of the other ten carriages rose up one after another, revealing a slit, and then rifles were poked out of the slit.
…
Before the iron windows of the train were raised, the Dashun cavalry had already discovered the shooting holes.
Zhu Cijiong had previously asked the artillerymen to use pointed picks to break open the shooting holes, one in each carriage. Because the appearance was camouflaged, they were not discovered at first.
"General, there seems to be a hole here."
The Dashun cavalry who was the first to reveal his disguise shouted excitedly.
A general immediately followed him and looked over from his horse's back.
It's true that the hole is not small enough for one person to get in without any problem.
"You, you, get inside and take a look." The general pointed at the two cavalrymen.
The two cavalrymen were about to drill in, when a dark tube suddenly poked out of the hole.
"What the hell is this?" One of the cavalrymen came closer to take a closer look. When he saw it clearly, he was stunned on the spot. Damn it, this is a cannon!
The next moment, the cavalryman's eyes suddenly glowed with red light.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling stream of light shot out from the shooting hole.
Wherever this red stream of light passed, the head of the thief cavalry who bore the brunt was instantly lost, and the bodies of the following thief cavalry were also shot to pieces, turning into a rain of blood all over the sky.
Then, slits opened in the middle of the monster.
Then, the muzzle of a gun poked out from the slit.
Then a red light bloomed, and the sound of gunfire continued: Bah, bah, bah, bah...
It all sounds like a long story, but it actually happened in just a few seconds.
Gao Yigong in the distance was about to come over, but he happened to see this scene. Da
First there was the sound of "boom, boom, boom", and then several dazzling streams of light were seen passing by. Several bloody roads were plowed out in the cavalry formation of the Dashun Army in an instant. The Dashun cavalry in it, no matter whether they were men or horses, were all injured.
All rotten.
Because the bandits' cavalry was close at hand, the Ming army's artillery was loaded with shotshells.
Immediately afterwards, there was another gunshot, and the Dashun cavalry fell down one after another.
"Ming Army, there is a Ming Army in the carriage!" Gao Ligong yelled with a shocked look on his face.
"Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet quickly, retreat the troops quickly!" Gao Yigong reacted quickly and gave the order immediately.
In fact, there was no need to blow the trumpet, as the Dashun cavalry had already begun to flee after being attacked.
It's just that we were too close at the beginning, so it was really difficult to escape all at once.
Although the Ming army's artillery had a long interval and fell into a stasis for a long time after firing a shot, the Ming army's muskets continued to fire, constantly causing damage.
By the time Dashun's cavalry had retreated to 500 paces, they had already suffered thousands of casualties.
At this time, the Ming army's artillery fired again, and with the roaring explosions, several dazzling red lights suddenly appeared in the Dashun cavalry formation, and the men and horses fell to death.
One of the shells landed not far from Gao Yigong.
A fragment even left a bloody groove on Gao Yigong's face.
"Retreat again!" Gao Yigong was taken aback and shouted sternly, "Retreat a thousand steps away!"
So the Dashun cavalry retreated hurriedly again, and this time they retreated not to a thousand steps away, but to two thousand steps away, because they felt that a thousand steps was not safe enough.
After retreating 2,000 steps away, they counted and found that they had lost nearly 3,000 cavalry!
Gao Yigong felt distressed. He had just arrived and had not accomplished anything yet. He actually lost one-tenth of the cavalry. These were the elite cavalry of the rear camp.
…
"Pity."
Zhu Cijiong still felt a little pity.
I think the rogue cavalry are too inexperienced. As long as you persist for a moment longer, this wave will be able to take away at least one-third of the rogue cavalry, and one-tenth is still less.
Xu Huhu said: "Prince Ding, do you want to attack?"
"What kind of attack?" Zhu Cijiong said angrily, "How can your two legs outrun the four legs of a war horse? Don't end up without eating the mutton, which will make you full of mutton."
After a pause, Zhu Cijiong ordered Xu Laohu again: "Tiger, you lead this regiment back and forth along the railway. If the bandit cavalry moves closer to Beijing, you will go to support Beijing. If the bandits go to Tongzhou, you will go to Tongzhou."
"
"Yes." Xu Huhu agreed immediately, but did not dare to ask where Zhu Cijiong was going.
Zhu Cijiong said to Xu Wuniu again: "Wuniu, let's get out of the car and bite the rogue cavalry."
This is the mission of the scout cavalry. After discovering the rogue cavalry, they must bite tightly and report the exact location of the rogue cavalry to the main cavalry at any time.
Xu Wuniu was a little worried: "Prince Ding, do you want to wait until the main force of the cavalry division arrives?"
"No need." Zhu Cijiong said, "With our equipment, are we still afraid of the bandits' scouts?"
Xu Wuniu immediately said nothing more, ordered more than a hundred scout cavalrymen from the scout cavalry team, and asked the town soldiers to use wooden planks to set up gangways between the car door and the ground, and then led the horses to get off.
…
On the other side, Gao Yigong is still hesitating whether to go to Beijing?
Originally, there was nothing to hesitate about. For the cavalry, the biggest obstacle to the city of Beijing was the tall and solid city wall and the moat outside the city. But now the Ming army not only demolished the city wall, but also filled in the moat. From outside the city,
It’s actually a smooth road to the city, so why should we hesitate?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But now, Gao Yigong was hesitant.
Because of this monster that suddenly appeared in front of me.
Just when Gao Yigong was hesitating, Gao Ligong suddenly came to report: "Brother, that monster came down from the Bai Lai Ming Army scout cavalry and came towards us."
"There are Ming army scouts and cavalry on top of the monster?" Gao Yigong was a little surprised.
When I looked back, I saw that the Bai Lai Ming Army scout cavalry had widened their distance and slowly approached in a fan shape, apparently wanting to follow and monitor their movements.
"Brother, my younger brother will bring people to kill them." Gao Ligong became angry: "We can't deal with that monster, so why can't we deal with the Ming army's Bai Laiqi scout cavalry?"
Gao Yigong warned: "Be careful, don't get close to that monster."
"Yes." Gao Ligong responded, and immediately ordered a thousand cavalry to meet him.
…
Seeing about a thousand rogue cavalry approaching, Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but smile.
"Well done." Zhu Cijiong laughed ferociously and shouted, "I have everything, prepare to fight!"
The more than a hundred scout cavalry who were originally in a sparse formation immediately moved closer to the center, and finally formed a long row, and then all loaded the paper-cased fixed-load ammunition into the gun chamber.
The reason for forming a dense formation is to increase the bullet hit rate.
The second is to give hints to the bandits and induce them to form a dense formation.
Sure enough, they saw the Ming army's scout cavalry forming a horizontal formation. In order to demonstrate, the rogue cavalry also formed a neat horizontal formation from a loose formation, divided into ten front and rear teams, and rolled over to the Ming army's scout cavalry.
"Haha, you're really stupid." Seeing this, Zhu Cijiong smiled even more.
In the blink of an eye, the rogue cavalry had approached within 600 steps, which was nearly a thousand meters.
This distance is undoubtedly a bit far for a rifle, and a rifled rifle equipped with a scope cannot guarantee a hit rate. However, Zhu Cijiong still gave the order to fire.
After a crisp sound of gunfire, a dozen cavalrymen fell off their horses.
This hit rate can be said to be quite satisfactory, not as amazing as expected.
…
However, Gao Ligong was surprised.
What the hell? Ming Gou’s bird cannon can hit so far and so accurately?
However, he was surprised, so Gao Ligong did not panic. No matter what, his cavalry had an overwhelming numerical advantage. As long as they rushed close, it would be a one-sided massacre.
"Accelerate and start sprinting at full speed!" Gao Ligong shouted sternly.
However, only a breath or two later, the scream of bullets sounded again.
Immediately, another mass of people fell on their backs, and this time the number of fallen people was even greater.
The number of people who fell to the ground just now was only about ten, but this time there were more than twenty.
Damn it, how can the Ming army's muskets be reloaded so fast? It's much faster than the muskets of their Dashun army. The fastest reloading of their Dashun army's muskets takes six to seven breaths, but the Ming army's muskets are much faster.
Less than two breaths?
Gao Ligong was even more surprised, but even so, he still had no intention of giving up.
Gao Ligong still firmly believed that as long as he got close to the Ming army, they would be able to massacre them one-sidedly.
However, the reality was cruel. Less than two breaths later, there was another scream.
Moreover, the number of men and horses who fell this time was even greater, even a conservative estimate would have been more than fifty.
Moreover, because too many cavalrymen fell to the ground in the front row, the formation of the following cavalry was immediately disrupted, causing the entire formation of the Dashun cavalry to become chaotic and their speed also slowed down.
Seeing this, Gao Ligong was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.
"Speed up, don't stop, rush forward and kill Ming Gou!"
Gao Ligong roared angrily and just wanted to rush to the Ming army as soon as possible.
However, at this moment, another burst of bullets screamed.
Immediately, the Dashun cavalry fell on their backs again. This time, the number of fallen cavalry seemed to be even greater. Gao Ligong estimated that there were more than a hundred cavalry. How could this be possible?
