Ao Bai's life was really tough. He fainted in the stream and was about to drown alive. Feng Sizhong ordered to stop the bombardment, pack up the cannon and move the position.
Because the Ming Army's artillery now adopts "flying artillery tactics", which emphasizes concentrated use and rapid movement, that is, concentrating limited artillery and deploying it into areas where they are most needed through rapid maneuvering.
Because the left wing of the Qing army (also the right wing of the Ming army) where Obai was located rushed faster than the right wing of the Qing army (the left wing of the Ming army), Feng Sizhong's "flying cannon" was first pulled to the right wing of the Ming army and fired.
After a round of cannonballs and a burst of free fire, the left wing of the Qing army had been beaten to pieces, and at least one-third of the shield vehicles were hit by three-pounder shells!
The hard iron bullets, under the huge thrust generated by the deflagration of gunpowder, can often directly smash the wooden trusses mounted on the shield cart! The fragments of wood and the remaining iron bullets were swept towards the Eight Banners soldiers behind the shield vehicle, and the solid bullets were upgraded to shotgun shells.
The unlucky Obai was hit in the head by the wooden fragments. Although his helmet was hard enough, the power of the wooden fragments was not as powerful as the projectiles fired directly from the barrel. But he was still knocked unconscious by the greatest warrior in Manchuria...
Obai was so awesome that he fainted, not to mention the others, he swept a large area in one sweep!
Behind the shield car, it suddenly became like a Shura hell. There were Eight Banners warriors everywhere who were hit by wooden fragments flying around. Most of them did not die immediately because the power of the wooden fragments was not as powerful as the projectiles, but they still beat the warriors to bloody heads and broken tendons. Break!
Many people were hit by small pieces of wood with sharp angles. The texture of the wood was not considered hard at all. With the blessing of high speed, they actually had the ability to pierce cotton armor and chain mail! The wood fragments were wrapped with fragments of armor and inserted into the human body. Even if they did not hit any vital points, they could still make the strongest Manchu warriors cry out in pain. If the wounds were not treated cleanly enough, most of these warriors would Some people eventually die from wound infection!
The sudden blow and heavy casualties caused almost all the shield vehicles to stop moving forward. The Qing army was completely stunned. The shield vehicles, which had always been regarded as the nemesis of firearms in the past, were now shattered by one blow, and the wooden pillars were The fragments can still hurt people!
How can this be? Could it be that the Ming army's gunners used some kind of magic?
Seeing that the Qing army's shield chariots had stopped advancing, Feng Sizhong immediately ordered them to stop advancing and move their positions.
The shield car on the right wing of the Qing army is still advancing!
The transfer of the Ming army's artillery gave the Qing army behind the shield car a chance to breathe - although the infantry of the Ming army's model army will launch a round of attacks, there are still some problems with their current artillery and infantry coordination, so they It gave the chaotic Qing army a chance to escape.
As a result, Obai also saved his life. His brother Mulima, a Jia La Er Zhen with a yellow flag, was also on the battlefield at this moment, not far behind Obai. He saw his brother being "killed" with his own eyes, so he After the gunfire stopped, he cried loudly and rushed to collect his brother's body. In the end, he actually collected it and fished out a Manchurian No. 1 warrior who was unconscious with blood on his head and drank a lot of water.
Obai was "cannoned", and Mulima naturally took over the command. Because of his brother's death, he had no intention of continuing the fight, so he gave the order to retreat and ran towards Daqianling with his brother's "corpse" on his back.
The Qing army's shield chariot attack on the left wing was repelled just like that!
At the same time, on the right flank of the Qing army, Jia La Zhang Jing Yirde with a yellow flag was still trying to drive the troops forward against the rain of bullets from the Ming army.
Because the Ming army's artillery was concentrated on the left wing of the Qing army led by Obai, the only thing used to delay Yild's path was the turtle-dove-footed musket.
Standing in front of Ild were three model regiments led by the Chinese Army Division Commander Wang Qiqin. Two of these three regiments were not full, so one battalion from each was taken out to mix with the cavalry and serve as a reserve at the back. - Combining musketeers and cavalry together was a common usage during the Thirty Years' War in Europe, and was brought to the Ming Dynasty by Shi Ruien.
After drawing out two battalions, Wang Qi still had ten battalions on hand, with a total of 2,400 fire riflemen and 2,400 spearmen. After seeing the shield vehicles of the Qing army slowly approaching, Wang Qi ordered the turtle dove-footed firecrackers platoons assigned to each firecracker company to be drawn out. The names of the model army's establishments at all levels were given by Zhu Cixiang based on the establishment names of later armies. Starting from the corps level, there are six levels below the army: division, regiment, battalion, company, platoon, and squad. Among them, the fire gun company has more than 120 people and consists of four platoons. One platoon is equipped with turtle-dove foot fire guns, and the other three platoons are equipped with bird cannons.
The ten model battalions at Wang Qi's disposal have a total of twenty firegun companies, and the number of turtledove-footed firearms platoons is also twenty. There are about 600 turtledove-footed firegun soldiers, all of whom are top-notch marksmen in gun skills.
Wang Qi put 600 turtle-footed fire gun soldiers on the front line, divided them into three columns, and started firing in a round at the shield car 70 or 80 steps away.
The heavy bullets of the turtle dove's musket weighing one, two, and five cents are so powerful that even the seemingly sturdy shield car cannot withstand it. However, the wooden pillars on the shield car were not shattered by one, two or five qian projectiles, but were only punched with holes one after another.
After penetrating the wooden pillars, these projectiles still have considerable kinetic energy, which is enough to kill the coated minions pushing the shield cart.
The sound of explosions was continuous, and every time a salvo was fired, some slaves pushing carts would be hit by projectiles. These were projectiles worth one, two, and five cents! Even the wooden trusses mounted on the shield cart were pierced by one blow, let alone the human body? Regardless of whether they were wearing armor or not, they were all punched with bloody holes as big as the mouth of a bowl, and sometimes even an even more terrifying hole was made in the person's back!
Under the volleys of turtle-dove-foot muskets, the coated minions pushing the shield car forward also became a mess. Their casualties were not serious. After all, they were all hiding behind the shield car, and the Ming army's firecrackers could not aim.
But the death of the coated slave who was hit is really terrifying!
Moreover, this scene was beyond the imagination of the coated slaves - when did the Ming army's firearms have such power? Can a human body be broken through a shield and a car?
what 's wrong? The big wooden frame doesn't look broken. How come the bullet hit the person behind it?
Isn't it the magic at work?
Thinking of sorcery or something like that, the life-saving servants dropped their shield chariots and ran back, while the Eight Banners soldiers holding the line didn't know "the power of sorcery". When he saw the coated slaves running away, he took out his lancet and "big sweeper" and went up to kill them, forcing the dog slaves to go back to push the cart.
But the volleys from the turtle doves' muskets on the other side continued, and many of the coated slaves who went back to push the cart were killed. The remaining people were too weak to push the shield cart. Some simply lowered their bodies into the water, with their heads exposed, and muttered something, not knowing what kind of gods they were praying to.
When Ild saw that the shield chariots had turned into snails, he jumped anxiously, but he was not willing to let the warriors of the Eight Banners True Manchuria charge hard - their firecrackers could not even stop the shield chariots, how could they let the true Manchuria go? To die? So he sent the fire rifle soldiers of the Eight Banners and Han Army up again.
The fire cannon soldiers assigned to Ild had already been on the battlefield once. They fired a burst of fire cannons at a distance of more than a hundred steps, trying to lure the enemy into shooting indiscriminately. But it had no effect, and of course there was no loss - they didn't have twenty or so three-pound regimental cannon firing shotguns on their opposite side.
Therefore, the more than 200 fire gun soldiers that Ild has on hand are still intact and can be sent back to death again!
These fire gun soldiers are all knowledgeable and know that they are no match! They only have more than 200 fire blunderbuss, most of which are bird blunderbuss, while the opponent only has five or six hundred turtle-dove foot blunderbuss, and there must be thousands of bird blunderbuss!
But they did not dare to disobey the military order, so they trembled and stepped forward. They did not dare to line up and shoot at each other, and they did not dare to rush forward and fire within twenty or thirty steps with the firepower of the turtle dove's musket. I just spread out and leaned on the shield car to shoot from a long distance. I didn't care whether I could hit it or not. Anyway, there was some movement and I could handle the errand.
