Chapter 779 Step 25
Dasu took the lead, and led a group of Tatars to turn their horses around and galloped to the five places that were not allowed to stay guarded all night, such as smoking guns, blacksmiths and locks.

What you can see over there is a circle surrounded by many horses such as war horses, mules and horses, and there is no sound in the inside. Looking from the outside, it seems that there is no one inside.

However, the Tartars did not expect that the smoking guns and others in the circle had already prepared more than ten second-style Yunzhou guns. The state blunderbuss is loaded with sub-drugs and placed beside everyone.

The second type of Yunzhou blunderbuss is similar to Lumi blunderbuss, using flint friction to ignite fire, and because it is an assembly line operation, each process is strictly controlled, and if there is a slight discrepancy in size, it will not flow into the next process.

Its exquisite workmanship is far from being comparable to other workshops in the Ming Dynasty, and even the Lumi blunderbuss stored in the Ministry of War, or even the Royal Inner Treasury, cannot be compared with it.

Now, Yan Qiang and other five people each held a Yunzhou blunderbuss, which were firmly erected on the saddle, and aimed closely at the approaching Tartar soldiers.

And some of the Ye Bu Shou who were not seriously injured, but were no longer suitable for riding horses and galloping, also took out their pistols one after another, and almost every one of them quietly covered them around the smoking guns.

We all know that if we allow the dozens of Tartar captives to charge in, not to mention the many war horses here will flee in all directions, and our own lives will be at stake.

In the Huwei camp of the Xuanbei Army, the second-style Yunzhou guns were not standard equipment. After all, they mainly used cavalry battles. Each knight was equipped with at least two short-handed guns, and it was not meaningful to equip them with Yunzhou guns.

So today, there are only fifteen Yunzhou blunderbuss among the more than [-] people at this sentry. Basically, the team has five long-handed blunderbusses. The gun is used to distinguish it from the short gun.

Now, seeing the Tartars on the opposite side shouting wildly and rushing over arrogantly, when they were within a hundred paces, the five long guns were also quietly leveled, and the sights were each put on a Tartar cavalry.

Get closer, within seventy steps, the bong puffed out the small piece of cigarette in his mouth, and shouted angrily: "Fuck it, fuck it, you bastard!"

While he was shouting, he had already aimed at a Tartar soldier in the vanguard battalion. He stole one eye through the crosshairs to look at the Tartar's chest, and decisively pulled the trigger.

"Snapped!"

Amidst the crisp explosion, the heavy long gun in his hand spewed out a ball of flames, and the Qing army's Gebush soldier who charged in his head immediately fell straight from his horse and fell to the ground.

At the same time, the two blacksmiths and Suo Tou also took aim at a Qing Army Bayara soldier, and there was no trace of compassion in their eyes.

"Crack...crack!" There were two crisp sounds, and the figure of another Tartar vest soldier in front of him swayed twice, just like the captive cavalry just now, he swayed and fell under the horse.

Almost at the same time, the other two soldiers of the Xuanbei Army who stayed behind also shot a blunderbuss each. They also hit one and missed the target.

The smoking gun and other five people quickly grabbed the other long guns that had been loaded with gunpowder beside them, hurriedly aimed at the approaching Qing army captive cavalry, and fired another round of volley, and two or three Tartar soldiers fell off their horses in response.

After the second round of shooting, they retreated back behind the horses' luggage in unison, and looked at each other at the same time, and they both saw the word "beautiful" in each other's eyes.

The faces of several people were very relaxed, and they didn't pay attention to the Tartar soldiers approaching from a distance at all, but their hands were not relaxed either. They skillfully grabbed a new long gun and quickly drove it on the saddle. Aim again towards the outside.

At this moment, there are already five or six Yebushou who are less seriously injured, slowly moving to the side of Smoker and the others, raising their short guns to be on guard, but at this moment they cheered loudly: "Back, Sao Da The son retreated..."

…………

But at this time, Manchuria was riding in the middle of the yellow flag post, but everyone howled like a frying pan: "Battlesman, damn it. The long gunslinger of the southern country, where is the ambush!"

There was a clattering sound, and they hurriedly slowed down and turned their horses aside, leaving them far away.

When these Tartars rushed towards this side, they saw that the Xuanbei Army had so many horses and luggage left here. They also saved the captured horses and luggage, beheaded the heads of the remaining Ming soldiers, and returned to the camp to ask for credit thoughts.

However, at this moment, this thought suddenly disappeared!
On the other side of the large group of horses, after more than ten gunshots were fired, they returned to the quiet and meaningless sound again.

However, in the hearts of the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner and other Tartars, there is a strange and terrifying place, just like countless ambushes hidden in the herd of war horses.

Karbush Xianzhang Jing Dasu was extremely angry, seeing that the remaining troops around him had already lost a lot, and the rest of them all had panicked expressions on their faces.

In the two short battles just now, the loss of one's own troops has reached more than [-], and the casualties have almost reached [-]%, while the casualties of the opponent's Ming Dynasty Southern Army are very few.

How could he not be angry?
Today, three of the five warriors from Gebush's virtuous battalion who went out to spy with him have already lost three of them. In addition, five warriors from the Bajala battalion were either killed or injured. Which one is not an elite in the military?
Since he joined the army, he has never suffered such a big setback.

In previous battles, he led his men from all banners and battalions of the Qing Dynasty, whether it was against Mongolia, North Korea, or the Southern Ming Dynasty, was there any time when one was not equal to ten, or even one was equal to a hundred?

Only this time the casualties were so huge, but the results were so few.

Even himself, he just used Iron Guduo to hit a Xuanbei army's Yebushu, let alone smashing him to death on the spot!

The more Dasu thought about it, the more he hated it. He gritted his teeth and cursed angrily: "Damn Southern Army, even more hateful firearms."

However, unlike him, the rest of the Zhenghuang Banner sentry cavalry beside him were all worried.

These southern soldiers are really hard bones, they are too damn hard to chew, although if they, the southern soldiers from the Xuanfu, can kill them with great military exploits, it depends on whether they have the life to enjoy it, right?
Even those tough Zhenghuang Banner Ba Yala soldiers also showed a hint of hesitation and anger.

These nasty and cunning sentry cavalry of the Southern Army only dared to bombard them with guns from a distance, which caused them to be able to use only [-]% of their abilities. It was really embarrassing.

If this battle continues, I don't know what the ending will be...

"What should we do? Do we want to fight again?"

The rest of the sentinels of the Zhenghuang Banner of the Qing Army all watched Dasu Zhangjing helplessly, waiting for him to make a decision.

At this time, Dasu Zhangjing was the chief general of this team of sentry cavalry of the Qing army, and all the sentry cavalry were well aware of the strict military regulations of the Qing Dynasty. If they hesitated to escape without the permission of the general, Dasu Zhangjing would The right to kill them on the spot.

It's just that at this time they only have about [-] Qing warriors left. Compared with the southern sentry cavalry on the opposite side, their disadvantages are even more obvious, especially the firearms held by the southern sentry cavalry on the opposite side have become a shadow in their hearts.

If the fight continues, the outcome will be unpredictable!

Da Suzhang looked over 100 steps away, at the side of Li Changsheng from the whole team, they had already gathered together again, pointing at this side as well.

He was full of anger, and cursed: "Damn Nikan, a cunning Ming dog, who shoots guns from a distance, and dare not fight face to face. He is really cowardly, hateful, hateful!"

After pondering for a while, I was still unwilling in the end.

He said angrily: "I was ordered to come out to spy, although I also found out some details of the southern army around Daxing Fort and Dongqing Fort, but the loss is so great right now, if I don't kill some of the southern army leaders and go back.

I'm afraid it's hard to explain to Tulai Zhangjing. "

He squinted a pair of mouse eyes into a thin line, looked at Li Changsheng, and said: "The Nanman on the other side is so brave, it must be from the Xuanfu of the Southern Kingdom.

It doesn't take much, but if we can get a head, we can talk to Tulai Tzhangjing. This time, when we went out to meet the sentry cavalry of the Southern Army brigade, they were extremely brave. We fought to the death and only got one person.

In this way, not only is there no fault, but it is meritorious, and it will not miss your reward! "

He went on to say: "Those nasty Nikan took the opportunity to fight again in the previous round, so maybe we should also entangle those southern barbarians, so that they won't let them wait to do the outflanking thing.

Fighting face to face, I don't believe that these southern barbarians will be the opponents of my warriors of the Qing Dynasty! "

Under his incitement, these enraged sentry cavalry of the Qing army roared and screamed, and their ferocity was instantly aroused, and all of them howled like wild animals.

…………

When Wan Guangjin led the right-wing outflanking fighters to Li Changsheng, the left-wing Liu Shouzhu and others had also gathered.

Li Changsheng counted, and there were 83 people on his side, and a rough check at this time showed that only eight people were missing.

He looked to the right of the field about 100 paces away. Although he had fallen off his horse, Duan Chengjiu, who was not injured, was helping the other two wounded soldiers and walking towards the stables guarded by Yan Qiang and others.

Looking from a distance, in the direction of the horse circle, two people have already rushed out to meet them.

It seemed that they were worried that the Ming army would take the opportunity to attack. The sentry cavalry of the Qing army only faced Li Changsheng's side with a guarded attitude, turning a blind eye to the situation there, and did not send anyone out to stop it.

And those sentry cavalry of the Qing army who fell off their horses because their horses were hit by bullets, barely got up, and were also struggling to walk in the direction of their brigade.

The Ming army also watched from a distance, but also ignored it.

Li Changsheng was very satisfied with the result of this battle. He nodded to the knights around him and said, "Brothers played well just now!"

These words of inspiring the morale of the army were all he learned from the general master Zhang Cheng. After the war, he always praised them, so as to improve the morale.

Sure enough, under his praise and encouragement, Zhong Ye Bu Shou showed a happy expression on his face.

Everyone laughed happily, and everyone's morale was high. In the round of battle just now, they handled it well and cooperated well with each other. They really fought well and played wonderfully.

It is not in vain to blind the hard work of the past!
Team leader Liu Shouzhu was still holding his hammer and shield in his hand. He sat firmly on his horse, looked at the Manchurian Yellow Banner Tartar soldiers on the opposite side, and said in a low voice: "Master Li, those shameless Tartars, it seems that they are still alive." Don't give up."

Wan Guangjin also said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, we will repeat our old tricks later, and those Tartars will definitely be defeated!"

But Li Changsheng shook his head and said: "I just caught the Tartars by surprise. Now that he is prepared, he will not be so cheap.

I guess he is going to rush over and fight with us. "

When everyone heard the words, they all turned to the Tartars. The next battle was indeed very likely to be like this.

Li Changsheng gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, he said fiercely: "We will fight again later, our army will be arranged in three horizontal rows, the first two rows are misplaced, each holds the gun in the left hand, and the cold pawn in the right hand, and The last layer of knights does not hold short guns, but a side card with long soldiers, only waiting to attack slaves at close range during melee.

Lao Li, as the general manager of the left department, I naturally lead the team in the first row. Lao Wan, you stay in the third row and hold the ground. The final decisive victory in this battle depends entirely on you! "

He then sternly shouted: "Listen carefully. The knights in the first and second rows in front have to wait until they have entered 25 steps away before they have to shoot the short blunderbuss, and they are not allowed to hold the blunderbuss in the right hand. Anyone who violates the rule will be charged with disobedience." Military law!"

At this moment, unlike just now, taking advantage of the stunned Tartar soldiers, they launched a surprise attack, took the lead, and then divided the troops into three groups to outflank and harass them. They didn't even think about fighting the Tartars in close quarters.

But this time the Tartar soldiers had already made preparations. Although their own troops outnumbered the Tartars, if they tried to repeat the old tricks, they might not be able to do so.

In any case, Li Changsheng didn't want to take risks before the battle. The current situation on the battlefield is favorable to him, not to mention that the right sentry in front will soon return to help, so he treats it so cautiously.

Arranged in this way, when the distance of two or thirty steps is reached, after firing the short blunderbuss, it may be possible to engage in hand-to-hand combat within one or two seconds.

Therefore, there is only one chance to shoot the short blunderbuss, and if the blunderbuss is held in the right hand at this time, after the shot, you have to exchange for cold weapons for fighting. powerful.

It is very likely that because of this shortcoming, when the weapons of the two sides collide with each other, the knights of one's own side will be knocked off their weapons, and even lose their balance and fall from the back of the horse.

Of course, the Qing army also had this problem. If they dared to use their right hand to throw javelins or throwing axes, they might have just thrown it, and when they took the weapon in their right hand, the tiger spear and long knife of the opposing knight would have stabbed them. , cut to.

However, cavalry combat is far more brutal than foot combat, and requires keen anticipation, and anticipation needs to be brewed in advance.

The brewing distance needs to be at least ten steps, and one needs to be aware of the opponent's weakness, in order to kill and injure the enemy and keep oneself alive in the battle when the two sides meet.

If you just took the weapon in your right hand and wanted to block the opponent's long-prepared thunder strike, very few people could do it, and most of them were killed by the opponent's tiger spear and long knife.

Therefore, the Tartar soldiers in the front row can only throw javelins and iron bones with their left hands. First of all, the accuracy will inevitably be worse, and secondly, the power will be even worse.

In this regard, the short gun actually took a lot of advantage.

Of course, those Tartar soldiers who were photographed behind could throw javelins and other weapons with their right hands, but the distance was a bit far away, and they were also less accurate and less powerful.

Moreover, in order to improve the accuracy of the throwing weapons of the Qing soldiers, they are generally thrown within twenty steps, or even within ten steps, which is the most powerful and powerful.

Li Changsheng requires the short guns of the two rows of knights in front of his command to be allowed to shoot after reaching 25 steps. Compared with the Tartars projecting javelins and other weapons, it also has an advantage of several steps, although the accuracy is also not satisfactory. .

Although our own advantage has been expanded, this is a cavalry hedging battle, casualties cannot be avoided, and the battlefield situation is ever-changing. How can we guarantee that if we have an advantage, we will definitely win?
However, the members of Li Changsheng's Huwei Battalion under Xuanbei Army's Huwei Battalion all gritted their teeth tightly, and none of them showed any signs of shrinking back.

As long as they are human, everyone will be afraid of death or injury, but they have various reasons to restrain this fear!
