The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Both men and horses were crushed by shells and turned into mutilated corpses.

Flesh and bones were mixed together and turned into a puddle. It was impossible to tell the difference between you and me, or humans and animals...

The mighty and imposing cavalry of the Qing army, who charged forward, suffered a head-on blow!
In an instant, that indomitable momentum disappeared.

Only the thick blood and the smell of gunpowder smoke are left in the world!
In the next moment, the flag order of the Qing army changed, and the array of cavalry that gathered together to charge quickly dispersed.

The cavalry in twos and threes each formed an array and continued to charge toward Dagukou.

They held horse bows one after another, drew arrows from the quiver, bent their bows and set arrows, and rushed to kill.

Behind these cavalry, the infantry of the Qing army continued to advance.

A large number of green battalion soldiers of the Qing army, as well as civilian husbands recruited from various places in Northern Zhili, pushed shield carts and artillery carts, approaching Dagukou.

boom!Boom!bang bang bang!

A series of crisp gunshots sounded one after another.

The distance between the two sides was nearly 200 meters, and it was not even within the effective range of the Qing army's horse bow.

The soldiers of the Ming army hiding in the trenches of the defense line held rifles, aimed at the cavalry of the Qing army who were rushing to kill, and pulled the trigger.

Clouds of gunpowder smoke continued to rise from the Ming army's position, and the cavalry of the Qing army rushed in front, blood burst out of their bodies, and then they fell off their horses and died.

There were even war horses hit by lead bullets, and after neighing, the charge stopped abruptly and fell to the ground.

Under the effect of inertia, the cavalry on horseback was also thrown flying in an instant, and fell on the extremely hard ground that was frozen in winter.

The bones were broken, the tendons were broken, and the brains were burst.

Holding the binoculars smuggled from Daming, Chen Tai watched the scene on the battlefield with an expression of disbelief.

"This... what the hell is going on here?"

"How did the thief's musket hit so far? So accurate? It's nearly [-] steps away now?"

Chen Tai's face was full of solemnity and bewilderment.

He is not the only one with the same expression, all the generals of the Qing army around him are like this.

"Hiss... Ming Thief's firearm is really sharp!"

"Yeah, I really didn't expect that the Ming thief is not only powerful with cannons, but also can shoot far and accurately with muskets!"

"..."

All the generals of the Qing army were talking about the firearms of the Ming army, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Finally, someone remembered the battle situation on the front line and spoke to Chen Tai.

"General, let the Eight Banners athletes on the front line back down!"

"Let the green battalion go up and consume the bright thieves is the right thing!"

"After all, my Eight Banners has a limited number of people, but I can't afford such consumption!"

"..."

At this time, the frontline battlefield where the two sides are fighting can be called a unilateral massacre.

Relying on the superior range of their muskets and super-high accuracy, the Ming army harvested the lives of the Qing cavalry from a distance.

Whether it is the Eight Banners cavalry wearing cotton armor or the Green Battalion cavalry with only a livery, as long as they are hit by lead bullets, there is a high probability of death.

Even if the lead shot hits no vitals, falling from the back of a galloping horse can kill a person.

At this moment, there were at least 300 casualties!
If this number of casualties were placed on the green battalion soldiers, I guess I would not even blink my eyes.

But if it is placed on the Eight Banners soldiers, it is not the same thing.

Chen Tai urgently ordered to retreat, and the ear-piercing sound of gold ringing resounded throughout the battlefield.

However, just as the cavalry of the Qing army was about to pull away, the field artillery deployed by the Ming army opened fire.

It's like beating a dog in the water!
boom!Boom!Boom boom boom!

Amidst the ear-piercing roar, gunpowder smoke filled the entire front line.

Dozens of artillery pieces fired at the same time, and all they fired were shotgun shells.

The dense barrage formed a crossfire and shot towards the battlefield.

Pfft!Pfft!
Countless scattershots flew, tearing up the corpses of people and horses, and even smashing people into sieves.

Whether it is cotton armor or livery, in front of the dense barrage of shells, there is no difference.

Blood spurted out, and corpses pretending to be dead filled the entire battlefield.

There were broken bones everywhere, the broken internal organs trampled by war horses, and the smell of blood rose to the sky.

The cavalry of the Qing army suffered a round of shelling before retreating weakly.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tai's face turned dark!

This was just a tentative attack. I lost three or four hundred cavalry in the Qing Dynasty.

There are even Eight Banners cavalry among them!
The casualties were really too heavy, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were hit head-on.

Hearing the cheers of Ming thieves faintly coming from the direction of Dagukou.

Chen Tai's face became darker and darker.

"Send the order to let the infantry advance in the direction of Dagukou!"

"The artillery accompanying the army is ready for artillery battles to provide fire support for our infantry to attack Dagukou."

"Let the musketeers also prepare to meet the enemy. My Qing Dynasty spent so much money and food to support them. Now it's time for them to be loyal to my Qing Dynasty."

Now my Qing Dynasty also has special musketeers.

That's right, there is no doubt that it is the imitation of the establishment of the Ming Musketeers.

Even the tactics used by these musketeers of the Qing Dynasty imitated the Ming Dynasty's line infantry, three-stage attack, and bayonet charge tactics.

Even in terms of weapons, they are imitations of Daming's flintlock guns!

However, due to the technical barriers of spring steel, the Qing court failed to break through.

Therefore, the Qing court could not mass-produce flintlock guns to equip the army.

The muskets used by the Qing army musketeers who appeared in Dagukou are only arquebus guns.

In addition, the Qing court not only failed to mass-produce spring steel, but also failed to mass-produce sleeve bayonets.

The bayonets used by the Qing army are still plug-in bayonets.

Of course, spring steel and socketed bayonets are nothing more than the Qing Dynasty.

It is definitely possible to manufacture, but there is no way to mass-produce and equip the army.

Most of the musketeers of the Qing army were selected from the coated slaves of each banner. The loyalty of these people could be guaranteed, and they were all trained to be more obedient.

It is the most suitable Musketeer soldier!
Following Chen Tai's order, the infantry of the Qing army began to press upwards.

Walking in the forefront are the Qing musketeers who lined up and marched forward in an orderly manner.

There was a space of one meter between them, and they walked forward neatly.

From a distance, their array is a very long black line.

These musketeers of the Qing army were wearing uniforms, looking at muskets on their shoulders, with bayonets and bullet bags pinned to their waists, striding forward.

Behind them, there are large and small artillery in formations, and shield vehicles.

Holding swords, spears, bows and arrows and other cold weapons, the Green Battalion soldiers of the Qing army pushed the shield cart hard and strode forward.

boom!Boom!

Those large calibers of the Ming army fired again.
