Ma Xi squinted her eyes and looked at the Jiannu army passing by in front of her, with a sneer on her lips.
These people were no longer in formation and were walking in disarray. In front were five hundred Mongolian cavalry, and then three hundred Jiannu cavalry. Ma Xi has already found out clearly that these cavalrymen are Bai Baiya La soldiers and are Abatai's personal soldiers.
Among them, the three young men walking in the middle are Abate's three sons.
At this time, these slaves had lowered their guard, and they didn't look like they were here to fight. They were all talking and laughing, and some even sang Manchu songs wildly.
"Are these bastards out for an outing?" Deputy General Masakui muttered.
Ma Xi said nothing and waited for the cavalry to pass by. The infantry and grain carts came over in confusion. He silently took out a Rumi gun, pointed it at a grain cart pulled by two cows, and pulled the trigger.
boom! With a gunshot, the Lumi gun perfectly demonstrated its amazing accuracy. Two hundred meters, it hit the cow's trunk.
The cow fell down.
The lethality of Lumi's large-caliber lead bullets is very high. When the lead bullet penetrated the cow, it immediately began to lose stability and roll. Pull out the internal organs and create a huge cavity. My heart, liver, and lungs were all smashed to pieces.
The cow screamed and fell down, directly dragging the other cow down. The entire grain truck came sideways. The road was blocked.
Although this is a grassland, because we just came out of the valley, there are rocks everywhere, so we can only walk on the road.
Suddenly, the entire team was stunned. They didn't expect to be attacked at this location.
With the sound of gunshots, 20,000 dismounted cavalry in the snow on both sides suddenly stood up. They had been lying in the snow for three hours, and they were all freezing. My hands and feet are also a little numb.
Ten thousand archers immediately bent their bows and shot at the team on the road. They used riding bows. The riding bow is relatively short. This distance must be thrown with light arrows.
Ma Xi ambushed five thousand cavalry archers on both sides of the road, and ordered them to use bows and arrows to cover and shoot the slaves on the road. They didn't care about anything else. They just shot with all their might, shooting all thirty arrows, then picked up their long knives and rushed down behind the large army.
Another thousand dismounted cavalry immediately jumped up and staggered forward.
General Ma Xi has an order to engage the enemy as soon as possible. Everyone has to run hard and quickly cross the two hundred meters of open space.
Those running in front all held up round shields in one hand to protect themselves and the robes behind them.
This small buckler is specially equipped for cavalry. The diameter is only about sixty centimeters. There was no way, Ma Xi was leading cavalry, and they only had this kind of equipment.
Four thousand people had formed a long strip to guard the grain carts. Walking casually on both sides of the grain truck. The sudden attack caught them off guard.
After the main force of Zhenglan Banner was destroyed, most of these people had never been on the battlefield.
Their response rate is very poor. For a moment, their eyes were attracted by the Ming army, which was lined up on both sides holding round shields and rushing towards them like a tide. He didn't even pay attention to the sound of bowstrings amidst the noisy shouts of killing.
Unprepared, a hail of arrows rained down from the sky, and many people even marched without armor for the sake of convenience. It was also because it was coming soon, so they relaxed their vigilance.
Behind the attacking troops, ten thousand archers were shooting arrows desperately. The intention was to release all thirty arrows in the arrow pot in the shortest possible time.
Thirty arrows were fired rapidly, all shot in just one minute. Three hundred thousand arrows fell overwhelmingly, and the arrows behind were still wrapped in cotton and rags soaked in grease. He was set on fire and shot over. .Ь.
These rockets landed on the Eight Banners and Mongols, on grain trucks, and on both sides of the road. A large number of people who did not wear armor for the sake of convenience were shot to the ground. The grain truck was hit by a dense barrage of rockets and burned.
The livestock were also shot by arrows, and some fell down on the spot. Some broke free from the reins in pain and started running wildly. No matter how hard you beat the Eight Banners, it will not help.
A soldier wearing armor can run at a speed of about eight kilometers per hour, which is about two meters per second. two hundred meters distance
, it only takes a little more than a minute and a half to rush there. This is the best time to attack them.
Liu Xingzuo once told Yang Fan about the combat effectiveness of Jiannu.
In fact, Jiannu's fighting ability is only relative. They gained their agility and skill in hunting and fighting wild animals. When fighting alone, they are far behind the professional martial arts practitioners in the Ming Dynasty.
In a one-on-one fight, nine out of ten of those killed would be slaves. He had seen Jiannu arresting rebels in Liaodong. A practitioner, armed with a spear, stabbed to death four or five Jiannu slaves armed with long knives. Finally, he was shot with a bow and arrow and turned into a hedgehog.
But the infantry in the late Ming Dynasty was bad enough, so the battlefield became one-sided.
In fact, if the Han soldiers are well trained, their combat effectiveness can exceed that of the Qing soldiers. In history, the Yue family army defeated Tiefu Tu. Xin Qiji's fifty cavalry rushed into the camp of fifty thousand golden soldiers and captured and killed the traitors. All are examples.
In the Jiangyin city defense battle at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Abatai's third son Bolo was the commander. A Qing army of 240,000 soldiers and more than 200 cannons besieged the city. A total of more than 75,000 soldiers were lost.
Regarding Jiangyin, they defended the city for 81 days. More than 97,000 people died inside the city and more than 75,000 people were killed or injured outside the city. These people are all local people and have not received any military training.
On the night of the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen (January 28, 1643 AD), more than 10,000 Qing soldiers arrived in the northwest of Weicheng and set up camp several miles away from Weicheng. There were seven camps in total and hundreds of tents set up. Then a war broke out between the two sides.
As a result, they were defeated by Weifang soldiers and civilians. Among them, the county annals record that there were many cases of warriors in the city beating the city and coming out, killing multiple Qing soldiers by one person. Bai Baiya Labing has never defeated any of the gun masters in the city. One person stabbed three people to death.
Among the Qing soldiers, the ones with the strongest fighting ability were actually the Sauron soldiers.
In 1658, the Battle of Songhua River Estuary between China and Russia (called the Second Luochan Expedition in North Korea). The battle took place at the mouth of the Hundong River at the confluence of the Songhua River and the Heilongjiang River.
Ningguta Angbang Zhangjing Sarhuda led about 600 Qing troops (including 200 Korean musketeers), starting from Sanxing. Five days later, they encountered the Russian army at the confluence of Heilongjiang and Songhua River (today's Tongjiang City). There were about 300 people in Stepanov's department, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides. .Ь.
The Qing army bombarded the Russian ship and launched attacks with muskets and bows. Then they jumped onto the Russian ship and engaged in hand-to-hand combat. The result of the battle was a complete victory for the Qing army. 270 people below Stepanov were killed, 10 were captured, and 7 Russian ships were burned. The overall casualties of the Qing army were less than those of the Russian army.
The terrifying combat power of Sauron's armored men in Ninggu Tower is evident. The Cossacks were no match either.
