A shotgun shell is a cylinder with a thin layer of iron outer shell. There are a hundred small iron pellets inside the shell. After the artillery fires, the rifling fragments at the bottom of the shotshell push the projectile forward. When the projectile leaves the barrel, the cylinder breaks and the pellets are inside.
It shoots out to form a pie-shaped barrage in the space. This barrage will pass through a conical space with the muzzle as the fixed point, and strafe all targets in this conical space.
Facing the cavalry charging at close range and almost hitting the muzzle of the gun, the power of the shotgun is huge.
The twenty cannons on the west wing spit out tongues of flame and ejected two thousand projectiles from the barrels, shooting at Bai Baiya La and Fende Bashiku at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Although these elite Qing troops wore two layers of armor,
, or even three layers of armor, but these armors still couldn't stop the shotguns at such a close range. The rapid barrage killed the white-armored soldiers in the front row and the Fende Bashiku people.
One hundred and twenty White Penguins were hit by shotguns, with bloody holes in their bodies, and fell to the ground with a plop. Thirty Fende Bashiku were also shot. Although they had three layers of armor on their bodies,
But the shotguns still penetrated into their bodies and damaged their organs, causing them to die one by one and fall off their horses.
Even their war horses were shot and fell to the ground, twitching and struggling on the ground.
A bearded man named Boshiku was shot. He looked at the two bloody holes in his chest in disbelief and fell to the ground together with his horse. Even though he fell to the ground, he still couldn't believe that he was about to die.
The fact that he died - he was the most valiant warrior in the Qing Dynasty and an officer of Niu Lu. He had fought countless battles and killed many enemies, but today he died before he even touched the enemy.
He opened his eyes wide and vomited out a mouthful of blood, then died with a look in his eyes.
A white-toothed leader "Zhang Zhuang" holding an iron ax was hit in the left eye by a projectile. The iron projectile immediately penetrated the whole head of the strong man, smashed through the skull from the back of the strong head, flew out, and then shot into the head.
In the armor of a white-armored soldier in the back. The strong man died on his horse without saying a word, and fell down with a thud. The white-armored soldier in the back also let out a scream, fearfully touched the blood hole-like wound on his chest, and lay on the ground.
He couldn't get up from his horse.
With just one shot, twenty six-pound cannons killed 150 Qing soldiers on the west flank.
If the elite Qing troops were not wearing two or three layers of armor to block the projectiles, the shotgun pellets could have passed through the bodies of the first layer of cavalry and penetrated into the enemies in the second row behind them, causing greater damage.
The situation in the east wing is even bloodier.
After a salvo of thirty six-pound guns on the east wing, the first layer of cavalry in front of the Qing cavalry soldiers fell down like weeds cut down by a lawnmower. Not only did the men fall, but the horses were all injured in an instant.
Falling down. Blood flowers bloomed one by one. After the blood flowers fell, horrifying blood holes were exposed on the body of the cavalry soldier, which were wounds caused by shotgun pellets.
The two hundred and twenty Qing cavalrymen in horseback fell down. Almost every one of them was hit by two or three bullets.
A vested leader "Zhuanda" wearing three layers of armor rushed forward and was hit by iron projectiles in three places. The outermost iron-inlaid cotton armor, the middle scale armor and the innermost chain armor were all
After being penetrated, the three projectiles pierced his scarred skin like three swords, broke open his flesh and blood organs, and ended this brave warrior who had been killed in a mountain of corpses and sea of blood on horseback.
This Zhuanda died on his horse before he could even let out a scream.
When had the vests ever seen such a terrifying weapon? The still-living vests were frightened for a moment. They rode their horses to stop next to the body of the dead vests, unable to advance or retreat.
While they were still hesitating, the 500 musketeers from the fourth platoon of the Polu Regiment opened fire.
At a distance of seventy-five meters, the long-trained Polu regiment fired almost every shot, hitting more than 400 vests. The bullets broke through the armor, rushed into the flesh and blood under the armor like a thirsty, and rotated unscrupulously.
.
Only screams were heard one after another, and more than 400 vests fell off their horses. At this distance, mini bullets could penetrate two layers of armor and kill the vest soldiers. More than 400 vests were either killed or injured.
Lost combat effectiveness.
The vests were defeated.
The 1,600 Zhenghuang Banner vests were now beaten down to just over 300, and the vests were completely disabled. Even the dozen or so leaders "Zhuanda" who were still alive lost the morale to charge into the battle, and they turned around
The horse heads fled away into the distance one by one without any care. The other horse armors became even more panicked and even lost their weapons, just hoping to run faster when escaping.
The Qing army on the east wing no longer exists.
But Bai Baiyala and Fende Bashiku in the west wing have more fighting spirit.
They were violently attacked by shotguns, but they still maintained their morale. They did not stop in front of the corpses of the men and horses killed by shotguns, but bypassed these corpses and rushed toward the selection group seventy-five meters away. Although a hundred people were killed.
There were fifty people, but this most elite cavalry of the Qing army was still full of murderous intent. The heavy sound of horse hooves trampled on the ground, as if a piece of rolling thunder was pressing down on them.
Li Zhi shouted loudly: "Fire the bayonet!"
The horn sounded, and Li Zhi's order was passed to the selection group. Li Zhi had already explained the combat operations steps to the officers at all levels. At this time, the officers at all levels heard the horn and gave orders loudly, and immediately ordered those who had finished firing their guns.
The soldiers in the second and third rows installed bayonets, and the first row that fired first continued to load the ammunition at the back, and the soldiers in the fourth row at the front were allowed to prepare to shoot.
At a distance of seventy meters, Bai Baiya La and Fende Bashiku fired a hail of arrows at the front selection team.
Screams rang out one after another, and more than fifty soldiers of the Selected Front Regiment were shot by Tatar bows and arrows.
After shooting an arrow, the elite Tatar troops on the west wing dispersed and crashed into the two thousand infantrymen on the west wing of the vanguard group, as if they were going to overwhelm the vanguard group at once.
Seventy meters, sixty meters, sixty meters away, the fourth row of soldiers opened fire.
At a distance of 60 meters, five hundred rounds of Mini bullets seemed to have eyes, shooting straight towards the chests of more than 400 white-armored soldiers and Fendebo Shiku. At a distance of 60 meters, the lethality of Mini bullets was
Amazingly, no matter whether the opponent is the double-layered armor of a white-armored soldier or the three-layered armor of a divided Bashiku, mini bullets can penetrate the armor and kill the enemy.
A Fende Bashiku was hit in the left waist by a bullet. The bullet broke through his three layers of armor, penetrated his skin, and entered his kidneys. Although the three layers of armor buffered the lethality of the bullet,
But the spinning bullet still damaged the Qing army officer's kidneys. Unbearable severe pain came from his waist. Fende Bashiku could no longer continue fighting and fell off his horse with a scream.
A white-armored soldier was hit in the left chest. The outermost layer of thick white scales failed to save him, and the inner layer of fine chain armor failed to block the spinning bullet. The bullet rotated and entered the white-armored soldier's chest.
The heart has turned this vital organ into a ball of blood. If this warrior of the Qing army, a white-armored soldier who is good at fighting in battle formations, rushed into the Huben Division's formation alive, I am afraid that five or six Huben Division soldiers would not stop him.
He couldn't stop him. But now he was hit by a mini bullet before he could touch the enemy. He trembled on his horse and lost all his strength. He fell under the horse with a plop.
