Chapter 164 Give Laozi a blast on his shield car!

Zhang Cheng rode his horse and galloped, Chen Zhong was on the outside of him, a horse's head ahead of him, and a group of guards used their bodies to separate Zhang Cheng from the Qing army to protect his safety.

They held the reins tightly with their left hands, clamped the horse's belly tightly with their legs, and raised the three-eyed guns with their right hands one after another.

Clouds of smoke rose up, and finally gathered into a large cloud of smoke and slowly dispersed in the air. Zhang Cheng led the cavalry team to pass by the Qing army in an instant, and then a stream of smoke rose, which lasted for a long time.

On the front line of Jiazhuang's foreign propaganda army, various cavalry teams attacked one after another. Like Zhang Cheng, they rushed to the front of the Qing army's formation for [-] to [-] steps. Afterwards, they all rushed back to their respective formations.

Zhang Cheng rushed back to the south gate of Jiazhuang, rode his horse and looked back at the Qing army array not far away, and couldn't help but think of Xu Zhimo's poem:
"So quietly I leave, as quietly I came;
I waved the three-eyed gun, but didn't bring back a single bullet. "

…………

Outside Jiazhuang, the gunners of the Ming army in front of the Qing army lined up against the rockets fired by the Xuan Da army, and the Qing army archers behind the shield car were urging and intimidating, and loaded ammunition in a panic.

Many of them were unfamiliar with these operations. They were persecuted by the Qing army at this time. In order to survive, they came to the front of the battle tremblingly. Most of them had not finished loading their ammunition.

I saw the smoke and dust rising from the defense line of the Xuanda army on the opposite side, and groups of cavalry rushed towards them. Their faces were full of panic. A few days ago, they also helped the Qing army to attack the city, and they had never encountered anyone who dared to attack. Ming Jun, what a surprise today.

With a distance of more than 200 steps, the horses galloped with all their strength, and they arrived in an instant. Before the artillerymen of the Ming army had time to react, the cavalry of the Xuanda army on the opposite side had already rushed to them.

Twenty to thirty paces away, the cavalry of the Xuanda Army passed by quickly, and the three-eyed guns exploded again and again. Most of the Ming army's surrendered gunners in front of the Qing army array were knocked down by the guns before they could react.

There were also a lot of bullets shot directly at the shield chariots, and there was a series of "cracking" sounds. Many shield chariots were riddled with holes, and the Qing army archers hiding behind screamed again and again.

The sudden attack of Xuan Dajun's knights dealt the deadliest blow to the gunners of the Ming army who had already suffered heavy casualties. The generals of the Qing army had no choice but to order them to retreat first.

After a while, the reorganized Qing army slowly approached the Xuan Da army's line again.

Outside Jia Zhuangxuan's army camp, the Qing army's shield chariots on three sides were closely surrounded and approached slowly. Their shield chariots were next to each other, and there was only an aisle of less than one foot in between.

150 steps!

Suddenly, in the Qing army's large formation, there was the passionate sound of battle drums, and the Qing soldiers hiding behind the shield chariot shouted loudly, as if to cheer themselves up.

The armored Aha and the auxiliary soldiers pushed the shield chariot rumbling forward, amidst the shouts, behind the shield chariot, all the banners of the Qing army array were raised high at once, and it was immediately dark like a cloud.

Like waves, the Qing soldiers from three sides encircled and charged towards Xuan Dajun's camp.

…………

"Brothers, hold your breath, wait for the Tartar soldiers to approach and hear my order, and then let's fire the guns!"

Chief Cui Shijie stared at the shield chariots of the Qing army rushing towards outside the earthen wall, and saw the flags of their chariots rushing towards them like an ocean. In the cold weather, he couldn't help sweating and shouted loudly.

In Xuan Dajun's line of defense, the gaps in the earthen walls are equipped with No. [-] Buddha wolf machine guns and tiger squatting guns, and each gap is equipped with two to three guns. The gunners are nervously loading ammunition and fixing the artillery.

Cui Shijie's post was also arranged in the same way, and the blunderbuss also kept their positions. A blunderbuss poked out from behind the earth wall, aiming at the Qing army approaching from the opposite side.

There are three flat passages on the defense line of the left post of the Right Wing Battalion in Xuanzhen Town. There is one on the far left, one on the far right facing the South Gate of Jiazhuang, and one in the middle. The rest are built with earthen walls. It's a series of trenches.

The passages between these earth walls are guarded by artillery, supported by gunmen behind each earth wall, and teams of shield soldiers and spearmen are responsible for melee combat.

Behind the earth wall, team officer Tian Mingyu's two armored gunners were waiting in formation. They put the fire guns on the earth wall and watched nervously the Qing army's shield chariots approaching.

Cui Shijie's left post has a total of [-] musketeers, distributed behind the earthen walls. They are responsible for attacking the enemy from a long distance, and there are fifty sword and shield soldiers and spearmen, who are responsible for close combat.

There is another team of gunners who have already loaded and are just waiting for the order to fire. The tiger squatting guns are all loaded with shotguns, and the Francois machine has a large bullet and a bunch of small bullets. Rear.

Cui Shijie, the chief of the sentry, looked at the power of the Qing army coming from the other side of the earthen wall, and he also broke into a cold sweat. While breathing in, he shouted back and forth: "Boys, don't panic, hold on to me, wait for the Tartars to approach you!" Now, fire the gun after hearing the order, whoever fires the gun first will have his head chopped off, don't be afraid, hold your breath!"

In the blink of an eye, the densely packed shield chariots of the Qing army approached more than 100 steps in front of the Xuanda army's earthen wall defense line. In the trench.

Fortunately, the distance was not enough, and Xuan Dajun did not fire the cannons. This also surprised the attacking Qing army. According to their experience, at this distance, the other Ming troops were already firing their cannons.

Why is it so quiet on the opposite side? Wasn’t the artillery and rockets very fierce just now?
The sound of battle drums behind the Qing army came again, and the shield vehicles in the passage continued to move forward, while the shield vehicles blocked in front of the trench stopped there.

Behind the shield chariot, the archers of the Qing army spread out, and under the order of each division's Shiku, they drew their bows and set their arrows, and the sound of "...嗖...嗖..." immediately rang out.

With a distance of a hundred steps, bows and arrows can be thrown and can almost cover Xuan Dajun's defense line. The arrows that cover the sky and the sun are shot into the air, and then fall in unison.

The advantage of throwing is that it can shoot very far, its power is amazing, and it has a very powerful deterrent effect, but its lethality is much worse. The arrow is shot obliquely into the air ahead, and after exhaustion, it then falls obliquely from the air. The force is generated by the force of the fall.

Even if they shoot each person's body, it is difficult to go deep, and most of them will not be fatal. Besides, almost all the soldiers of the Xuanda army have helmets, so although the Qing army threw many arrows and their power is astonishing, the soldiers on the defense line of the Xuanda army did not Don't look flustered.

The guards held up their shields to block the arrows thrown by the Qing army for Cui Shijie, while he watched the Qing army's shield chariot advancing from the reserved passage, and shouted loudly: "Artillery team, go tell the gunners that the Tartars are nearly eighty Just give me a bombardment of his shield chariot..."

He turned his head, and someone shouted: "Listen up, gunners, the sound of the cannon sounds, the guns are fired, hit the Tartars!"
