In addition to the officer snipers, other sharpshooters also opened fire. Ordinary Tatar soldiers were shot and killed in large numbers. Those Tatars who were tall and looked powerful in combat were also knocked down by other sharpshooters one by one.
Unlike ordinary soldiers who fire volleys, there is no officer to direct the sharpshooters to fire at the same time, so they do not fire in volleys, but fire bullets at different intervals. In this way, there is no problem of repeated firepower kills, and each bullet is fired at the target that does not hit the target.
Shooting enemies with bullets makes the marksman unit more lethal.
All of a sudden, more than a thousand Tatars were killed by sharpshooters at a distance of 250 meters. Pillars of blood sprayed out from the bodies of the Tatars who were shot. The battlefield was full of people screaming, moaning and falling to the ground twitching.
Wounded Tatar soldiers. These wounded soldiers, corpses and war horses blocked the cavalry behind them, forcing the cavalry behind them to move forward in a detour, and the charging speed slowed down.
The Tatars were stunned. They were sniped at 250 meters away. This battle situation surprised them. However, what was even worse was that the junior officers who directed the battle were suddenly removed. Even the most powerful ones were
The warriors who had great appeal were also killed in one fell swoop, and the backbone of the Tatars was gone.
Without the officers' shouts and supervision, the Tatars could only rush forward subconsciously.
However, the sharpshooter's rate of fire was faster than they imagined.
Marksmen are the best selected elites, and their reloading speed is faster than half of the riflemen. If the average rifleman needs 13 or 4 seconds to reload, these marksmen only need 12 or 3 seconds.
On the hot weapon battlefield, this 10% difference in the rate of fire can increase the power of the firearm by 20%.
Just a short while after the first round of shooting, crackling gunfire rang out on the battlefield again. Marksmen are selected elites who are more organized and disciplined than ordinary infantry. Even those without officers
Commanding the volley, they remained methodical, reloading, aiming, and shooting as quickly as possible.
The two hundred meters in front of the sharpshooter phalanx turned into a slaughterhouse. The width of the battlefield occupied by a sharpshooter was about half a meter, while the width of the battlefield occupied by a Tatar cavalry was more than one meter. The Tatar soldiers in front were shot
Killed, felled his horse, and the soldiers behind moved around the corpse of the Tatar in front. They were attacked by another round of fire before they had gone more than ten meters.
Every time they advance, the Tatars have to pay an extremely heavy price.
After charging forward for about 120 meters, thousands of Tatars had been killed. In the short charging distance of more than 100 meters, most of the sharpshooters fired three shots. From 200 meters to 150 meters,
The ground ten meters apart was piled with the corpses of cavalry soldiers and war horses. The horses that had lost their owners were running around in panic, even making it impossible for the cavalry behind them to charge.
However, there is another one hundred and twenty meters ahead.
The Tatar queue was in confusion.
Different from the general Tiger Army, there are 300 elite sharpshooters in the queue who specialize in shooting Tatar officers and white-armored soldiers. These elites shot almost every shot, and almost all the Tatar officers and white-armored soldiers who rushed in front were shot.
In other words, there were no living officers or white-armored soldiers in front of the Tatars.
The officers and white-armored soldiers who boosted morale and urged the soldiers to charge were no longer there, and there was no one to stop the Tatar horse-armored soldiers who were trembling and fearful and fled back.
Not every Tatar soldier was content with death. After thousands of people were killed, many Tatars were frightened and lost their fighting spirit. If there were officers and white-armored soldiers, these soldiers who fled first could still be suppressed.
But now that there is no one to supervise and encourage, many soldiers in vests retreated in advance.
So the Tatars charging forward and the Tatars fleeing in panic collided with each other. The corpses on the ground hindered the charge of the Tatars behind, and with the defeated cavalry in front, the situation became even more awkward.
The bullets were like sickles harvesting wheat, ruthlessly harvesting these chaotic Tatar soldiers one by one.
Abatai has always taken the lead in battles, and this time, as Azig's deputy, he also rushed to the front.
There are fifty personal guards around him to protect him. These personal guards can be said to be Abatai's human shields. Abatai's life will never be in danger in front of ordinary fire guns.
However, this time, Abatai faced a sharpshooter.
When the Tatars in the front row were in chaos, Abate was still shouting and rushing forward, trying to boost the morale of the surrounding rebels. The people in front were retreating and Abate was advancing. Inadvertently, Abate's soldiers crowded in.
Get to the front line.
Although there were three layers of guard cavalry lined up in front of Abate, there were gaps between these guard cavalry. The moment these guard cavalry exposed their sophisticated armor among the rebels, at least a dozen snipers noticed it.
Abatai in the rebellion.
With his tall war horse and gilded armor, this is definitely a Tatar prince.
More than a dozen bullets were fired at Abate.
Most of the bullets failed to pass through the three layers of guard cavalry and hit the guards, killing these loyal guards. But one bullet passed through the guards and hit Abatai's body.
On his head, it penetrated deeply into Abate's skull, sparking a brilliant blood flower on his head.
Abatai's eyes widened and he fell to the ground without even letting out a scream.
Abate is dead.
The Tatars collapsed.
Without officers and white-armored soldiers to guard the formation, the morale of the Tatars dropped faster. Although they could rush to the sharpshooter's formation by rushing 120 meters further, without an officer organization, the front-line horse-armored soldiers were in a mess.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that because the sharpshooters shot all the officers in the front row, the Tatars have lost their organization and can no longer be called an army.
At this time, when they saw that the county king Abatai had died in battle, how could the Tatars still have fighting spirit? They all rode their horses and fled away.
Azig stood in the distance and was stunned.
This battle was lost. The 15,000 elite cavalry soldiers lost to 2,500 infantry.
Abate died in battle.
The famous Qing general Abatai was easily killed by a small force of 2,500 people. Azig lost a half-brother, and Li Zhi killed another Qing prince. Azig's body couldn't help but
Shaked a bit.
This is the first time Azig has seen such a combat officer being killed as soon as he showed up.
Soldiers without an officer organization are just a bunch of mobs, unable to launch a desperate charge. Even the brave Manchu warriors no longer have impact without their officers. Manchu officers have always had the tradition of leading the way, but in this extremely
In front of the precise Tiger and Ben troops, taking the lead is simply courting death.
Such accurate fire gun soldiers can be said to have completely eliminated the advantage of the Qing Dynasty's iron cavalry.
The Tatars in the back row finally realized that the battle was unwinnable and stopped sprinting forward. Together with the defeated Tatars in front, they fled further away, trying to stay away from the rifle bullets of the sharpshooters.
However, they did not understand that the massacre had just begun. The sharpshooter's shooting range was 400 meters. The Tatars who started to escape from a distance of 120 meters needed to escape for another 280 meters if they wanted to escape.
The sharpshooters quickly loaded their ammunition, aimed their sights at the backs of the Tatars who were fleeing in panic, and pressed the triggers.
The crackling sound of gunfire was like firecrackers during the New Year, constantly ringing on the battlefield.
The soldiers in the back row who were escaping from the Tatars fell under their horses one by one, falling like toppled dominoes on the northeastern wilderness.
If it were an ordinary Tiger and Ben army soldier, the Tatars would have fled a few tens of meters back, and the Tiger and Ben army would have killed at most a thousand more people. However, what this cavalry army encountered was a sharpshooter unit, four hundred meters away.
It seemed as long as a light year. More than 10,000 Tatars galloped wildly on their horses. They had obviously escaped very far, but they were still knocked down mercilessly by conical bullets.
After escaping for a hundred meters, the Tatars left behind more than a thousand corpses.
The Tatars fled three hundred meters away, and the sharpshooters were still able to kill the defeated troops one by one through their sights. The fallen corpses were scattered on the field like sandbags, everywhere.
After fleeing another hundred meters, the Tatars left behind more than a thousand corpses.
Fear filled the hearts of the fleeing Tatars. They wildly used spurs to stimulate the horses under their crotches, stabbing the horses' belly until blood dripped. However, the sharpshooters behind seemed to be magic soldiers descended from the earth. Even though the Qing army fled 250 steps away,
The Ming soldiers behind could still kill the Qing army accurately.
The Tatars seemed to have encountered demons and rushed forward crazily, just to stay away from these demons. The weapons in their hands and the horn bow on the saddle had long been thrown away, and the Tatars just wanted their mounts to be able to run.
Faster.
Azig looked at the horse-armored soldiers fleeing in all directions, his face turned ashen.
Abatai, the king of Duoluo Raoyu, died in the battle, and at least 70% of the 15,000 horse-armed soldiers died in the battle.
This elite group assigned by the emperor to harass Li Zhiliang Road has been completely disabled.r
