"Bang bang bang~"
Firing within 20 meters is equivalent to putting the barrel of the gun against the enemy's head and shooting.
With just one salvo, Junggar fell to the ground like wheat.
Since the Qing army took the lead, the Junggar cavalry was unable to organize a counterattack.
Then came the second and third rounds.
With continuous shooting, the Junggar army formation was penetrated. Seeing that the situation was not good, the mobile cavalry on both sides kept distance from each other.
The Qing army successfully broke through the Junggar blockade.
The retreat channel was opened, and Yang Yuchun sent the news back to the Chinese army camp.
A general retreat began.
Lutros received the battle report and immediately arranged for the army to attack the Qing army camp.
Although the Qing troops who stayed behind had already realized that they were going to die, they resisted very tenaciously.
However, the troops behind the positions were transferred to strengthen the center and rear armies, and soon it was difficult to maintain the defense line on both wings.
Junggar used dragoon tactics to weaken the Qing army bit by bit from its weak points.
The general at the rear simply arranged all the artillery in the ranks of the Qing army, loaded them with shotgun shells, and prepared to fire a decisive shot.
As the sun gradually set, the two armies that had fought fiercely for nearly 8 hours were extremely exhausted.
Lutros did not want to miss this opportunity and led the last 1,000 reserves into the battle.
He was ready to penetrate the Qing army's center from the flank again. As long as he could penetrate it, he would have a chance to capture Jiaqing.
As long as he can capture Jiaqing, he can use Jiaqing to obtain a lot of benefits from the Qing Dynasty.
Whether it is dividing the land to Junggar or paying huge war compensation, these are all possible.
However, just as Lutros maneuvered to the south of the Qing army's center, a group of cavalry came from an oblique direction.
Wearing iron armor and red cloaks, they looked like a ball of fire coming around the side of the woods.
Doshan had been waiting behind the woods for several hours.
After arriving at the battlefield, Doshan did not act in a hurry.
The combat effectiveness of the Qing Dynasty Army is not bad, and the front line is quite stable. Generally speaking, holding on and waiting for reinforcements is the safest way.
At this time, Duo Shan did not know that Zhongliang of the Qing Dynasty had tampered with military rations, and did not think about the shortage of military rations.
I just feel that the retreat of the Qing army was caused by Jiaqing himself.
Therefore, Duoshan simply rested behind the woods and waited until both parties were exhausted before rescuing Jiaqing depending on the situation.
Unexpectedly, there were experts among the Qing army.
The musketeers risked huge casualties by approaching and shooting, and in one battle they defeated the Junggar tribe in the direction of Juyongguan.
At this time, both sides were almost exhausted, and saw the last viable force of Junggar joining the battle.
Duo Shan couldn't sit still and led Jinyiwei's special agents stationed at Niangan to intercept.
After 300 had eaten and drank, Jin Yiwei, one man and three horses, began to maneuver at high speed.
Doshan did not tangle with Lutros, but took advantage of the blind spot of the forest to bite the 1,000 Dzungarian cavalry from the side and rear.
"Bang bang bang~"
Zhu Zaiming was transferred to Jinyiwei in Peiping and received a lot of shooting training.
In addition to the rifles, pistols and mortars currently in service in the Ming Dynasty, unlimited flintlock short gun training was also conducted.
And focused on training the skills of reloading the flintlock on a running horse.
Duoshan fired one shot without looking at the result. He quickly cleaned the barrel of the gun with a short pipe, took out a paper-wrapped fixed-load ammunition from his arms and started loading.
He bit open the paper shell with his teeth, poured a little black powder with sugar into the medicine pool, and closed the temporary lock.
Pour the remaining gunpowder into the barrel of the gun, wrap the lead bullets in the paper shell and press it into the barrel, and then compact it with a purge bar.
"Bang~"
A lead bullet was fired and luckily hit a Junggar cavalryman.
Jinyiwei's 300 men slashed Lutros diagonally, killing more than 250 people.
Duoshan felt the panting of the war horse under his crotch, and knew that this round of extremely fast riding and shooting had taken a great toll on the war horse.
"Change horses!"
Dushan turned over and moved to another war horse, and the Jin Yiwei behind him did the same.
After completing the horse change, the exhausted war horses were released and gradually separated from the team.
Doshan turned his horse's head, and the Jinyi cavalry turned a corner on the plain, and charged towards Lutros again.
At this time, Jin Yiwei has become a man with two guns. One of them comes from the right side of the horse and is a cloth bag, which is prepared in advance.
The second impact begins.
Same cutting tactics.
Lutroston felt his scalp numb. This group of Junggar cavalry had been running wildly for a long time. The horses under their legs were severely exhausted, and they were soon caught up by Duo Shan.
Since the war horses have sufficient physical strength, Duoshan can calmly adjust the formation, try to line up in a row, and give full play to the advantage of firepower.
"Bang bang bang~"
Another round of volley fired, and Lutros's rear team was defeated. These cavalrymen completed the reloading of their muskets with difficulty, and launched a counterattack against the Jin Yiwei.
Unfortunately, the black powder mixed with sugar made Doshan qualified to shoot at long distances.
Junggar's counterattack had little effect. Only a few people in the cavalry team 120 meters away fell off their horses.
Duoshan led the team to accelerate, and after maneuvering to the left side of the Junggar cavalry, began riding and shooting again.
"Change horses!"
Ten minutes later, Duoshan completed the last horse change in the distance.
Lutros stopped and found that there were less than 400 people left around him. The horses were seriously exhausted and the soldiers were in poor mental condition.
He could feel the heavy breathing of the war horse under his crotch, and a large amount of sweat wet his trouser legs.
We can't go on like this, we can't just run away anymore.
It's not a good choice to expose your back to these Qing soldiers.
Lutros thought quickly and tried to spread out the team as much as possible, with the horse's head facing the direction of the enemy.
He was ready to crash directly into Doshan when Doshan charged again, exchanging his life for his life!
Duoshan also saw what he was thinking, smiled, and began to lead the team in a slow retreat.
The purpose of preventing the enemy from attacking the central army has been achieved, and it is not cost-effective to confront Luteros at this moment.
You must know that these Jin Yiwei were trained by the Ming Dynasty with a huge amount of resources, and they cannot die here in large numbers, especially in the meaningless battle that follows.
Therefore, after achieving his goal, Duoshan retreated directly.
Lutros wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his heart that was about to beat out of his chest gradually calmed down.
To be honest, he never wanted to encounter this cavalry again.
It can be seen from the previous confrontation that these cavalry can quickly reload gunpowder on horseback and maintain a certain hit rate even from 100 meters away.
It's a tough opponent.
Is the Qing Dynasty invincible?
Lutros retreated silently, but did not retreat completely. Instead, he occupied the earthen fort and reorganized the army.
In the distance, Jiaqing and others also saw the confrontation between the two cavalry, and were full of admiration for the elite of the Duoshan Division.
"Who is that general?"
"Should we raise three flags or lower five flags?"
"I think they are also Sauron soldiers..."
"The enemy can't be the Ming army."
The generals were talking a lot and guessing the identity of the cavalry general.
Only Jiaqing looked excited.
Although it was still more than 1,200 meters away, Jiaqing recognized it through the telescope.
He knew that figure all too well.
"How kind that is!"
Jiaqing shouted excitedly, waving regardless of appearance, to greet Duo Shan.
Duo Shan was loyal and kind to the Qing Dynasty and the mainstay of the Qing Dynasty.
It’s Yu Shaobao from the Qing Dynasty!
