Although they are greedy for military success and determined to fight hard, in front of them are the iron-blooded riflemen of the Tiger Division, not the other weak Ming troops. In front of cannons and rifles, how can flesh and blood get an advantage? Being bombarded by cannons, being beaten by
After volleying and firing, the auxiliary soldiers and followers realized how powerful the enemy was, lost their confidence in winning the battle, and dispersed.
They became broken troops and fled from both sides of the vanguard group and the bandit group. They were originally a ragtag group that rushed into battle in a hurry. Driven by greed, they were brave for a short moment, and then returned to their weak nature.
They receded like the ebbing tide, revealing the rocks behind the water.
Behind them, the Five Thousand Eight Banners Manchurian foot armor appeared in Li Zhi's field of vision. The Five Thousand Eight Banners, wearing cotton armor inlaid with iron plates and holding infantry bows, rushed forward quickly.
That was Yue Tuo's last force. This time, Yue Tuo could be said to have put all his money on it. If these five thousand infantry troops were defeated, Yue Tuo would have completely lost.
This infantry soldier holds a bow and arrow, ready to shoot with the Huben division.
The Manchus were good at foot combat. Both hand-to-hand combat and archery were stronger when dismounted than on horseback. The Manchus' foot bows were divided into six-power bows, eight-power bows and ten-power bows according to the strength of the bow. The one-power bow was almost
Ten kilograms of drawing power. Elite pendulums and some vests can control the ten-force bow, while most infantry armor uses the eight-force bow.
At this time, these 5,000 infantrymen were basically using eight-power bows. Eight-power bows could threaten the enemy at sixty paces, that is, ninety meters away.
Five thousand infantrymen rushed ninety meters away from the Huben Division. The two thousand men in the front row raised their bows and fired a round of bows and arrows at the selection group.
Two thousand arrows were thrown towards the selection group and the gangster group like a heavy rain.
Ninety meters away is still a bit far for the Eight-Li Bow, and its accuracy is limited. Moreover, the arrows fired at Huben Master are old and cannot break armor. The soldiers of the Selected Front Regiment are wearing chainmail, but they are not afraid of the Sixty Steps.
Bows and arrows were thrown from outside. Unless they were shot in the head, these arrows could not hurt the soldiers of the Selection Group. However, the bandits who did not wear armor were injured. More than a hundred people were shot by bows and arrows and screamed.
Then he retreated.
More than thirty people were shot directly in the heart and other vital parts and died in front of the battle.
Li Zhi looked at the soldiers of the Dang bandits who were hit by arrows, and frowned. Every soldier of the Huben Division is precious and cannot be sacrificed casually. Because the soldiers were not equipped with armor in this battle, there were many casualties among the soldiers.
After the battle, Li Zhi made up his mind to equip each soldier with a pair of iron armor to guard against the rain of Tatar arrows.
Two seconds after the Tatars finished shooting their bows and arrows, the soldiers of the Huben Division in the back row loaded their bullets, stood in the shooting position and started shooting.
A thousand rifles were aimed at the Tatar archers ninety meters away, firing platoon after platoon, spraying sparks and bullets.
Compared with the Eight-Power Bow which requires more than 80 kilograms of effort to pull the bow string and throw it at the enemy, the rifleman's shooting is much easier. He only needs to hold a rifle weighing a few kilograms and press the trigger.
Firing. They are also skilled archers. At a shooting range of 90 meters, the hit rate of Mini riflemen is much higher than that of archers.
"Kill the slaves!"
The rifle fired at a distance of ninety meters, hitting the almost stationary archer with astonishing accuracy. A thousand bullets roared towards the Tatars not far away, knocking down a large number of Qing soldiers in an instant.
Row after row, blood splattered on the bodies of the Tatar warriors in the front row who were bending their bows and shooting arrows. They screamed and fell down, leaving behind some panicked warriors in the back row.
The Qing army was beaten by riflemen and fell into chaos.
Obviously, the Qing army's bow and arrow shooting is not as efficient as the Ming army's rifle shooting. If you want to improve the accuracy of the bow and arrow, you need to rush closer. But the Tatars know that the further forward they are, the more firepower the Ming army will have.
The more dense it is.
There are still more than 10,000 people in the Ming army, while there are only more than 4,000 people in the Qing army who are still fighting. This battle is obviously going to be lost. The infantrymen are unwilling to be cannon fodder, and they panic, and some of them want to flee behind.
.
At the center of the army behind the Tatars, Yue Tuo, who was standing on a small earthen bun to observe the battle situation, saw signs of the rout of the infantry. His heart tightened and he subconsciously bent his waist. These archery infantry were Yue Tuo's last hope.
. The Qing army finally rushed within the range of the bow and arrow. Yue Tuo hoped that the arrow rain from the Manchu Qing warriors could defeat Li Zhi's troops. Compared with a rifle that fires once every twenty seconds, the maximum rate of fire of the bow and arrow can reach five,
One shot every six seconds, giving it an advantage in rate of fire.
Of course, to truly gain an advantage, hit rate is also a key factor. Then the infantry are required to be forced within fifty meters of the Tiger Division and shoot directly at close range.
Yue Tuo gritted his teeth and clasped his hands tightly together, praying to his ancestors for blessings so that his armor could hold on.
Yue Tuo was praying, while Beile Dudu, who was escorting the infantrymen with five hundred pendulums, used his actions to ensure the discipline of the infantry. Five hundred pendulums were riding on horses, and they were slashing under the command of Dudu.
Killed more than 20 infantrymen who were fleeing back, and forced more than 4,000 infantrymen forward.
The infantrymen had no choice. To retreat would be to die, so they had no choice but to charge. The infantrymen's minds went blank, and they felt that life no longer belonged to them. They rushed forward ten meters, and then shot at Master Hu Ben, who was eighty meters away.
There was a rain of arrows.
Two hundred unarmored soldiers of the Dang Bandit Regiment were hit by arrows. They screamed and fell to the ground, covering their wounds from the arrows and shouting loudly. More than twenty soldiers of the Selective Front Regiment were shot through the chains by Tatar arrows.
A, who hit a vital point, also withdrew from the battle formation.
But soon, it was the turn of the soldiers from the Selection Group and the Dangkou Group to fight back.
The soldiers of the Huben Division can complete loading and firing in twenty seconds, and can fire once in seven seconds in a three-row firing formation. A few seconds after the Tatars fired a round of arrows, nearly a thousand soldiers came over.
The soldiers in the back row of the Selected Front Regiment and the Dangerous Regiment stood in the firing position and opened fire on the Tatars.
"Kill the slaves!"
"Kill the slaves!!"
More than 900 rifles fired in volley, spraying angry bullets at the Tatar infantry eighty meters away. The bullets, like a storm representing death, swept through the gaps in the battlefield and shot hard into the front row of infantry.
In the body of the infantry, the thin iron-plated cotton armor on the infantry armor could not stop the bullets at all. The bullets that were blocked by the cotton armor shattered and rolled irregularly, which would cause more serious damage to the Tatar who was shot.
The Tatars' battle front was like a hurricane, and the infantry fell to the ground with a plop.
Five thousand infantrymen rushed into the formation, and in the blink of an eye there were only more than three thousand left.
The Tatars could no longer bear such casualties. This battle looked like a loss no matter what. No one was willing to continue committing suicide in front of the formation, and the infantry began to flee.
The last five thousand infantrymen of the Qing army were also defeated.
First, dozens of people fled, and they fled to the east and west without hesitation. Then the actions of these dozens of people drove the infantry next to them, and hundreds of people began to flee. Finally, the entire infantry camp collapsed, and the infantry collapsed.
They scurried away with their heads in their hands, avoiding the Pai Ya La who was holding the formation in the back row, and collapsed from both sides of the formation.
