The soldiers in the Beijing Camp can easily use it with one hand, while holding the weapon in the other hand and waiting for opportunities to kill.
The basic fighting qualities of these Mongolians from Qinghai are still very high.
As soon as they met, they were greeted by a hail of arrows. If it were other inexperienced soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, they would definitely be killed and injured. The rest fled in panic, and these people could rush over directly.
But Jingying is a tough one.
They fought all the way and knew the Mongolian tactics very well.
As soon as the two sides met, the Mongols fired a barrage of arrows. Everyone in Jingying immediately hid behind their shields. They are all very numb.
Then six three-eyed blunderbuss stretched out from the shoulders of the shield, bang bang bang! There was a burst of gunfire, and eighteen lead bullets were fired at the broken soldiers on the opposite side.
Jingying was not a good person either, so they immediately retaliated.
More than a hundred troops were routed, and ten of them were immediately defeated. They were immediately stunned.
I didn't expect the people on the other side to react so quickly.
But it's not over yet. The three-eyed gunslinger retreated immediately after finishing the attack. Six steel crossbows flashed out from the shoulders of the shield again, followed by a burst of shooting.
These steel crossbows are lever-wound and have a pulley mechanism inside the receiver. It can be very labor-saving, just pull the lever and the crossbow is loaded.
This design is similar to the lever airsoft guns of the 1980s. It’s just that the lever air gun has a lever under the barrel. These crossbows are on the right side of the receiver. This results in these crossbows having a very fast rate of fire.
A long box is installed on the receiver, which contains ten crossbow arrows. Every time the lever is wound, a crossbow arrow will fall into the slide rail by gravity. At this time, as long as the trigger is pulled, it can be shot. Almost semi-automatic.
These six crossbowmen immediately began to fire continuously.
They are very skilled in their approach. Pull the lever on the right side of the receiver back to cock the crossbow. After firing, the lever bounces back to the front of the receiver. Then pull back and continue shooting.
All ten arrows were shot out in a short time.
The Yongxiebu troops on the opposite side were defeated and immediately suffered heavy casualties. But after they killed and injured more than thirty people, the remaining seventy or eighty people finally rushed forward.
The crossbow soldier put the crossbow machine on his back, then took out his waist knife, inserted the horse stick into the handle, and formed a long weapon called a simple knife. Move to the sides of the shield as the two wings of the guard.
The six shield soldiers are separated to the left and right, forming an arc. The pikeman, on the other hand, stretches his lance between the two shields. The steel fork bearer and the gunslinger carrying the three-eyed gun as a heavy weapon followed behind.
Soldiers from both sides finally collided head-on. The spear thrust out like lightning.
It's almost muscle memory with these long guns. They practice thousands of assassinations every day until they are almost vomiting. Their spears thrust forward with such speed and accuracy that they almost hit the target in the blink of an eye.
The enemy obviously didn't have time to react. They didn't know that the other party could stab the gun so fast.
Six enemy soldiers were directly pierced, and the spear tip retracted at a touch. Quickly pull out and pull back. Before the other enemies could react, six steel forks struck again.
These three-stranded steel forks were extremely wide, directly blocking the enemy's advance, and their scimitars were also blocked by the steel forks. At this time, the Pu swordsmen took the opportunity to step forward and swung their Pu swords to chop down the enemy.
The shape of these steel forks is somewhat similar to the forks used by security guards today, making it easy to restrict the opponent's movement.
These simple knives are heavier than ordinary waist knives, and they also have a long wooden handle made of a horse stick, which acts as a lever. If a knife hits an enemy, if it hits an arm, it will be cut off directly. If it hits the shoulder, it will break through the leather armor and directly cut off the collarbone and shoulder bone.
Even if you take advantage of your own relatively short stature and directly use the knife to look at the opponent's knees, it is also very useful. The other party was all wearing leather armor. Knees and calves have no protection at all.
Zhao Youzhong plays Pu Dao better than others. Not only was he good at chopping, he was also good at stabbing with a simple sword.
He saw a strong man like an iron tower rushing over from the opposite side, wielding a machete and slashing. But then it was directly stuck by the fork. Pushing his scimitar and arms upward.
When he saw an opportunity, he immediately took advantage of his small stature. A sliding shovel, rushing in front of the strong man. He raised his wrist and stabbed the strong man on the opposite side in the throat with his knife.
Poof! The blade of Pu Dao directly pierced the throat. The knife tip penetrated more than ten centimeters. Almost half of his neck was cut off from the side. The carotid artery spurts out blood.
The strong man had a lot of noise in his mouth, but he couldn't shout.
Zhao Youzhong twisted his wrist, turned the knife head over, widened the wound, and then pulled it out.
The strong man like an iron tower knelt down with a plop.
Zhao Youzhong swung his sword with his backhand and chopped off his huge head.
At this time, a face-to-face meeting killed this group of soldiers and completely destroyed them.
At first, the three-eyed gun killed one, and then the crossbow killed more than thirty. After the fighting began, these Ming soldiers used shields and forks to defend and limit their range of motion, while spears and knives took the opportunity to assassinate and hack.
In the blink of an eye, more than thirty people fell. The remaining fifty or so people turned around and ran back.
Seeing the enemy running away, the team immediately pursued them.
In other parts of the battlefield, small teams of Beijing troops were everywhere fighting against the defeated troops.
In the Beijing camp, at least three people form a triangle formation and act collectively.
The triangle formation is the smallest formation for Beijing infantry combat. By turning around collectively, the attack direction can be instantly changed to any direction. At the same time, the three of them are back-to-back, which can provide enough cover for each other. It can attack in any direction and prevent sneak attacks on its own juniors in any direction.
These triangular formations made people unable to make a move for a while.
And the battle group, where the entire team fought as a whole, exploded with even more terrifying lethality.
Shields, long and short weapons are used alternately for cover. The Mongols' scimitars were unable to break through for a while. The steel crossbow and three-eyed gun will output one round if they get the opportunity.
When Zhao Youzhong and the others encountered this group of people, they were defeated in a relatively large group. In other directions, the Mongols completely dispersed. The pursuers in the Beijing camp all fought in groups of three.
According to Yang Fan's rules, this is the minimum formation and no further dispersion is allowed. If someone dies, it will automatically combine with other triangle formations encountered.
Beijing soldiers wearing plate armor chased groups of defeated soldiers. In the wasteland in front of the North City, between the raging fires, there were soldiers from both sides hacking and killing each other everywhere.
Jingying's physical fitness and fighting skills are not as good as these Mongolians. However, Jingying's advantage lies in its plate armor.
These plate armors are lightweight and provide almost no loopholes in protection. The Mongolian scimitars were difficult to cut through. In the killing of each other, the Mongols wearing leather armor suffered greatly.
