The flint ignited the black powder on the fire door, and the nitrocellulose at the bottom of the gun chamber was ignited by the black gunpowder, and exploded violently in the gun chamber. Because the nitrogen content is not high, the nitrocellulose did not burn out all at once, but in a short period of time.
It gradually exploded in an instant, and the gas generated by the combustion continued to push the bullet forward, making the bullet fly faster and faster, and flew out of the barrel of the gun.
The flame burst out from the muzzle, and the pungent smell of saltpeter was still strong. But this time, the nitrocellulose burned very cleanly, and there was no black smoke from black powder, and the vision was good.
Although the soldiers of Huben Division were nervous, they still shot very steadily with their hands. The distance of fifty meters was too close. Tatar's body was a big target in the sight, and it was impossible to miss it. The cone-shaped bullets were like
It has eyes, screams and shoots at these Hulu whose hands are covered with blood.
The bullets shot into the body of the Tatar cavalry, breaking through the fragile cotton armor and chain armor. At a distance of fifty meters, even three layers of heavy armor would be easily torn apart by mini bullets. Bloodthirsty
The bullets rammed through Tatar's body, turning those organs into a ball of blood. Under the pressure inside the body, blood suddenly spurted out from the wounds, like blood arrows being shot out.
The shot cavalry screamed and could no longer control their bodies on the high-speed horse. They were thrown off the horse and fell on the soft soil full of pine needles. The moment they fell to the ground, the wounds below the
The flesh and blood were affected by the impact force, and another column of blood was sprayed outward.
In one shooting, the soldiers of Huben Division killed more than 500 Tatar cavalry.
Horses running in the mountains and forests have to avoid trees, and their speed is much lower than running on the wilderness. If a war horse can run 40 kilometers per hour in the wilderness, a horse can only run 20 kilometers per hour in the woods. But because of this
The mountains of Hejia'ao are full of tall pine, cypress and maple trees, with tall straight trunks and few branches. The cavalry can advance faster than the infantry in such terrain.
The Tatars and war horses who fell on the ground in front became obstacles, blocking the way of the cavalry behind them. More than a dozen army horses did not stop their legs and were tripped by the fallen infantry soldiers in front.
The cavalry fell to the ground with their horses. Some cavalrymen slowed down their horses slightly and rode their horses over the wounded and dead people on the ground. But there were too many cavalrymen behind them, and they could not escape during the collective forward pressure, so they rode directly over the wounded people.
He stepped on him, crushing the bones of the half-dead wounded man and turning him into a puddle of flesh.
The shooters in the first row in front of the Huben Division squatted down immediately after finishing shooting and gave up their shooting positions to the shooters in the second row.
The shooter in the second row took a brief look at the enemy close at hand and then fired.
Gunshots like popping beans rang out continuously in the mountain forest, and the flames from the muzzles formed a line of fire. The pungent smell of saltpeter in the air became even stronger.
The targeted Tatar cavalry seemed to have been named, and immediately let out a shrill scream, fell off the horse like a wooden stake, and fell heavily to the ground.
The distance was closer, and the scenes on the battlefield became more bloody. Li Zhi saw that a Tatar wearing three layers of heavy armor, Fende Bashiku, was hit in the head by a bullet. The bullet shattered the Tatar officer's helmet, and
The lower skull was penetrated. Blood burst out from the skull like an explosion, and shot a Tatar cavalryman next to him in the face.
Niulu Zhangjing, who was wearing a horned helmet, was hit in the waist by a bullet. The bullet penetrated diagonally from the side of his belly, causing a large wound. Red intestines and blood burst out from the wound, and the intestines
It was dragged on the ground for more than one meter. This Niulu Zhangjing took one look at his intestines, and then fell down from the horse with a pale face.
Another five or six hundred cavalrymen fell in a pool of blood. The spurting blood gave off a strong smell of blood, which spread in the air and mixed with the smell of saltpeter, making people sick.
After sacrificing more than a thousand cavalry, the Tatars rushed to the Huben Division three to forty meters away. They raised their horned bows and started shooting arrows at the soldiers of the Huben Division.
The Mongolian or Jianzhou Tatars aimed slightly forward, and then loosened the thumb that was holding the bow string, allowing the arrow to slide out along the thumb. The energy accumulated in the bent bow was suddenly released, driving the arrow.
Continuously accelerating forward, the arrow flew out of the bow tire, twisted in the air for a while, then stabilized under the action of the arrow feathers, and flew screaming towards the Han people in front.
More than 700 arrows were fired like a storm, hitting the soldiers of the Tiger Division lined up in four rows.
However, these arrows could hardly hurt the soldiers of the Tiger Division. The soldiers were wearing full-body steel armor. Except for the exposed face, the rest of the body was protected by the steel armor. The bow and arrow could only penetrate a few millimeters when piercing the steel armor.
Lost the ability to continue breaking armor.
Many soldiers of the Tiger Division had Tatar bows and arrows inserted into their steel armor, but they were not injured. The soldiers easily pulled out the bows and arrows and threw them aside.
Only a handful of more than thirty soldiers were unlucky and were shot in the face by bows and arrows, screaming and falling down. Doctors and nurses from the medical team ran up and carried the wounded down as quickly as possible.
Li Zhi was overjoyed when he saw that the full-body armor he produced had indeed blocked the Tatar bows and arrows. These more than sixty steam engines kept producing armor every day, and their efforts were not in vain.
I just don't know if these steel armors can protect the soldiers' bodies when faced with swords and swords during head-to-head combat.
The Tatars did not expect that the armor of Master Hu Ben was so sophisticated that the horn bow could not be penetrated, and their morale was discouraged. In the past, Li Zhi's soldiers did not have armor, but now they were all equipped with full-body armor, and this kind of full-body armor was so
Excellent.
Ao Bai rode his horse and hid behind, carefully observing the battle ahead. He did not expect that Master Huben actually had such sophisticated armor. If it were the former Master Huben, this hail of arrows could kill hundreds of people! If Master Huben had no armor,
The Qing army could defeat the Huben division with bows and arrows.
Obai cursed fiercely.
"Langatu! Damn Nikan!"
Seeing that the morale of the cavalry at the front was low, Obai roared loudly and beat a big cowhide drum. The rumble of the drum spread from the back to the front of the formation, allowing the cavalry to regain some fighting spirit.
The Qing army in front raised their horned bows again while charging forward. Another burst of arrows rained down on the front of Li Zhi's formation. This time, the Tatars specifically aimed at the faces of the soldiers of the Huben Division and shot arrows. Seven of them
More than a dozen soldiers were shot in the face and fell down.
Waves of shrill screams came from the Huben Division's position. The injured soldiers fell to the ground, feeling for the arrows but not daring to pull them out.
Seeing the constant casualties of soldiers on the front, Li Zhi became angry. He waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Artillery shotgun fire!"
The artillerymen had been waiting for this moment. Thirty meters away from the Tatar cavalry, the forty artillery pieces in front of them opened fire.
