"Kill!" A loud roar roared out from Amin's throat, and the rumble of horse hooves began to sound again. The sight of thousands of cavalry charging began was astonishing. The billowing smoke and dust rose in the wilderness with the cavalry's hooves.
They got up and rushed toward the Ming army with loud shouts of killing.
Such a fierce charge was enough to frighten some timid people. Li Yuan, standing next to the rifleman, kept estimating the distance of the Qing soldiers. When he estimated that he had reached 250 steps, he shouted loudly, "Fire."
!”
"Bang bang bang..."
The sound of a thousand rifles firing was astonishing. Along with the white smoke rising, Amin, who was watching the battle from behind, could no longer see clearly the formation of the Ming army in front. After thinking about the sound of gunfire, he thought a little strangely: "Could it be that Ming Dynasty
Is your army so arrogant that you think you can cause harm to our army within two hundred and fifty steps?"
As the first row of guns rang out, many cavalrymen who were maneuvering at high speed suddenly shook or twisted and quickly fell off their horses. They were immediately trampled to pieces by their companions who came from behind.
"What, can the Ming army's firearms really hit so far?" Amin, who was supervising the battle from behind, could see clearly that after the Ming army opened fire, the unprepared cavalrymen who rushed to the front suddenly fell down and were immediately beaten by the people behind them.
The cavalry were trampled to a pulp.
Although many subordinates have reported to him the power of Ming army firearms, Amin still believes that only mounted archery is the foundation of a warrior, and only cowardly people will rely on the power of firearms to kill people. Originally, this belief
He had believed in it for decades, and it was only today that he realized that he might have been wrong, and that firearms were not as useless as he thought.
"Is what those slaves said true? The Ming army is so sharp!" Amin was shocked and couldn't help but screamed, but then he breathed a sigh of relief, "But fortunately the Ming army's firearms opened
It takes a long time to prepare after a shot. It only takes a cup of tea. When those warriors rush to the Ming army's formation, they can tear those cowards who only shoot cold arrows into pieces. That's not good!"
"Bang bang bang..."
Just when Amin finished speaking, there was another burst of gunfire, and the Qing army galloping on horseback was in chaos again. Hundreds of cavalrymen running in front fell off their horses. This time Amin could no longer sit down.
Unable to hold on any longer, he immediately ordered: "Blow the trumpet and order them to disperse. All of them should disperse. They must not get together."
"Woooooooo..."
The melancholy horn sounded again, and the cavalry who were still galloping quickly dispersed. The experienced ones lowered their bodies automatically without anyone's instructions, and hid on the back of the horse, just whipping them with the whips in their hands.
Damn it, they had only one thought at this time, which was to rush to the front of the Ming army as quickly as possible and cut those hateful Ming troops into pieces.
Pang Gang, who was standing outside the west gate, had moved all the strong 1,000 riflemen to the left. The 2,000 riflemen were divided into two rows and continued to shoot at the rushing Qing army. At this time, the heavy soldiers were
After transporting half of the supplies into the city, there are more than a hundred carts waiting to enter the city outside the west gate.
"We must not let those Qing troops rush in." Pang Gang knew very well that if the Qing troops were allowed to rush in, his side would be in danger of being annihilated.
"Increase the shooting speed, and we must not let the Qing army rush over!" Pang Gang was also anxious. He called Wang Zhi, the leader of his own cavalry, and said: "If the Qing army rushes in at a distance of fifty steps from us later,
You should immediately lead the cavalry to attack and be sure to block the Tatars, otherwise we will be totally doomed!"
Wang Zhi also knew the urgency of the matter and said solemnly: "Don't worry, sir, as long as I am still alive, I will never let the Tatars rush into our army's main formation."
After giving instructions to Wang Zhi, Pang Gang ordered five hundred sword and shield soldiers to protect the right wing that was exposed after the cavalry was transferred. He then mobilized five hundred pikemen to serve as the last line of defense behind the riflemen. He also picked up a heavy shield.
And that mace weighing dozens of kilograms.
"Quick, quick, speed up the shooting!" Seeing the rumbling sound of horse hooves rushing towards them, and the figures of the Qing soldiers approaching, Li Yuan, who was standing in the front row, had cold sweat on his forehead. If the cavalry were to rush in, they and the others would
Death is certain.
"Shoot the horse, shoot the horse quickly, the horse has the biggest target!" Da Zhuang, standing in the second row, also shouted the order.
At the critical moment of life and death, all the riflemen were shooting at a faster speed than usual. Seeing the cavalry getting closer and closer, the pressure on them also increased.
"bump!"
Suddenly there was a burst among the first row of riflemen. One rifleman covered his face and screamed loudly and fell to the ground. His minigun fell to the ground and the barrel was broken into two pieces.
Li Yuan walked over and picked up the rifle with a stern face. His expression suddenly changed. He turned around and shouted to the spearman behind him: "You idiot, who asked you to stuff two rounds of ammunition into the gun? You deserve to be blown up!"
It turned out that the rifleman was too nervous and stuffed two rounds of ammunition into the gun. As a result, not only the rifle exploded, but also half of his face was blown off.
Li Yuan waved to two pikemen to lift the rifleman down, and cursed loudly: "If I see any fool who dares to stuff two rounds of ammunition into the gun, I will definitely let him hold the bird."
If you want to die, you have to choose a better way to die. What's the point of letting your own gun blow up and kill you? Now shoot quickly, the faster the better!"
"Bang, bang, bang..." Thanks to the example of the unlucky rifleman, no one put two rounds of ammunition in the gun chamber again.
The continuous sound of gunfire shook everyone's hearts. As the Qing cavalry approached, the riflemen's movements became more and more urgent.
This period of time sounds long, but in fact it only takes half a cup of tea. During this period, the two thousand riflemen of the Ming Army have fired seven or eight rounds of volleys in succession, and no less than two or three thousand elite soldiers have fallen in front of them.
Riding, the heavy losses made Amin at the back almost vomit blood.
"Spread out, you idiots, spread out further!"
Seeing that half of the five thousand elite cavalry who had launched the charge were wiped out before they could reach the Ming army, A Min, who couldn't breathe, almost fainted.
"We can't continue like this. Hurry up and blow the trumpet and order the warriors to surround all the Ming troops and kill them with encirclement volleys!"
After hearing the sound of the horn, the Qing soldiers who suffered heavy losses immediately changed their attack tactics, and the remaining elite cavalry immediately dispersed and rushed toward the surrounding Ming army.
Just as Da Zhuang and Li Yuan were nervously shooting with their riflemen, they suddenly found that the number of Qing soldiers in front suddenly decreased, and then there was a scream from nearby, "Oh no, the Tatars are coming towards our flank."
Come."
The movement of the Qing soldiers was quickly discovered by Pang Gang. In order to prevent the Qing soldiers from breaking through his own formation, he immediately ordered the spearmen to rush to the flanks and set up a forest of guns. Soon, some Qing soldiers had already galloped to the rear of the rear team.
At a distance of fifty steps, they skillfully bent their bows and shot out a hail of arrows.
"Swish swish swish..."
A scream broke through the air, and dozens of spearmen fell to the ground immediately. The arrows of the Qing soldiers were three inches long, heavy and sharp, and it was extremely difficult to survive after hitting the human body.
"Ahh..."
The screams of spearmen after being hit by arrows kept coming, and Pang Gang, who was standing in the middle of the formation, almost felt like his eyes were on fire.
He said loudly: "Wang Zhi, Wang Zhi, all the f**king cavalry under your command are dead, why don't you come here and kill those bastards for me now!"
Just as Pang Gang was cursing his mother, there was another sound of "bang bang bang" from the front. It turned out that Da Zhuang, who was close to the rear wing, came with his men. A volley of guns flashed past, and dozens of Qing soldiers were shot down and dismounted. At this distance,
The riflemen made full use of the accuracy of their miniguns. In their not intensive but extremely accurate shooting, dozens of Qing soldiers who had come around to attack them were shot to the ground.
"Swish swish..."
There was another burst of arrows, and more than a dozen riflemen were also hit by arrows and fell to the ground. However, it was the Qing soldiers' bows and arrows that had the upper hand in the exchange of fire at a distance of forty or fifty steps. They saw that after finishing one arrow, they shot another arrow.
, there was almost no pause when the arrow was hit, and the arrows were continuous, fast and accurate, which can be called extremely vicious.
"Switch ......... Poch Poch ... Bang Bang ..."
The sound of arrows piercing the air, the sound of gunshots, the screams of the sergeants after being hit by arrows, and the sound of Qing soldiers falling to the ground with their horses and men after being hit formed a tragic piece of music.
"Sword and shield hand, hurry up and take up your position. The riflemen come here quickly to support you!"
After being surrounded by nearly two thousand Qing soldiers, the distance between the two sides was already very close, but the Qing soldiers refused to rush in, and instead played the trick of firing volleys at the camp.
"Er Beile, why don't you order our warriors to rush into the Ming army's camp and kill them all? Wouldn't it be more enjoyable?" A Qing army general asked Amin, who was watching the battle from a distance, in confusion.
Amin replied impatiently: "Idiot, didn't you see that they still have nearly a thousand cavalry that haven't been dispatched? I'm sure that if we start trying to rush into their camp, those cavalry will come out and fight us to the death.
, only the method of firing volleys from the battalion can severely damage this Ming army. You quickly order Shuotuo to stop attacking the south gate, and quickly bring people to the west gate for support, especially the cavalry, they must arrive as soon as possible!"
"Scum!"
The general quickly sent his men to run towards the distance at high speed!
Seeing that the casualties of the riflemen were gradually increasing, if the Qing soldiers were dragged here, it would be a big trouble. At this time, Pang Gang was very anxious. He turned back to a soldier beside him and said in a deep voice: "Go and ask
Ask Meng Qing when the baggage will be ready for the city."
The soldier quickly rode into the city to inquire, and came back after a while to report: "Sir, Official Meng Dian said that the baggage has been brought into the city, and you can enter the city now."
Pang Gang was perked up after hearing this, "Okay, immediately order the spearmen and sword and shield soldiers to enter the city, then the riflemen, and the cavalry at the rear!"
