Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 627 Dimensionality Reduction Strike
After separating from Hu Guozhu, Xia Wanchun and others, Zhu Cijiong called Xu Wuniu to him.

"Xu Wuniu, let's change positions today." Zhu Cijiong said with a smile, "I will lead the scout team to explore the way, and you will follow up with the Qianqi team, how about it?"

"Prince Ding, how can this be done?" Xu Wuniu's face turned green when he heard that.

Let Ding Wang you be the captain of the scout?What do you think, this will never work.

"What? Are you not happy?" Zhu Cijiong's face collapsed.

"It seems that this king needs to move you to the infantry town."

"Don't, don't, don't, Prince Ding." Xu Wuniu begged for mercy as soon as he heard this.

Having been a cavalryman, especially a scout cavalryman, Xu Wuniu no longer wanted to be an infantryman. How could an infantryman have the prestige of a cavalryman?More importantly, when the cavalry is on family leave, they can ride their horses back home.

Xu Wuniu has long been looking forward to the day when he will take family leave and ride back to his hometown on a tall horse.

At that time, not only will the parents have good looks, but the matchmaker will also be able to break through the threshold of their family.

Ten days later, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the casualties of the Eight Banners Mongolia had accumulated to four thousand!
Because the situation was too passive, the Eight Banners Mongolia was forced to stay away from the coast of Laizhou Bay and retreat to the vicinity of Jinghai.

But no matter how sad I was, there was nothing I could do about it. The firearms of the Ming army were too sharp.

"Bah!" There was a gunshot, and about a second later, the Mongolian cavalry fell from the horse.

What made them even more frightening was that they could hit even five hundred steps away?Longevity God, how could the self-generating guns of the scout cavalry of the Ming army hit so far?
However, these Mongolian nights still did not give up easily.

Raising the muzzle of the gun slightly, Zhu Cijiong gently pulled the trigger, and the gunshot rang out.

"There is such a thing?" Kong Youde didn't quite believe it, "Why doesn't this king believe it?"

In the constant struggle with the Ming cavalry, the Mongolian cavalry also summed up their experience.

Two days later, Hong Chengchou, who was far away in Jinghai, received the news.

Soon, Zhu Cijiong locked a Mongolian cavalry through the scope. The distance between the two sides was at least 500 steps. Because the distance was far enough, the Mongolian cavalry was defenseless, and the upper body stood up from the horseback.

"Because the firearms of the Ming army are too sharp." Agula said, "Not only can they shoot accurately, but they can also shoot farther than the self-generated firearms of our Qing Dynasty."

"Hou Joining the Army?" Hong Chengchou turned his gaze to Hou Fangyu, "What do you think?"

Six seconds, no matter how fast the horse runs, it can only run fifty or sixty steps forward. It takes at least six or seven six seconds to run four hundred steps, which is almost half a minute, enough for each Ming army scout cavalry to fire at least five shots.

The remaining Mongolian cavalry were stunned, what's going on?

Therefore, as long as you are more vigilant, this kind of thing will not happen again.

Hong Chengchou said: "Can you tell me why I can't defeat the cavalry of the Ming army?"

The other Mongolian cavalrymen were startled for a moment, and they shrank their bodies to the side of the saddle. At the same time, they speeded up their horses and entered the sprint speed ahead of time, obviously wanting to fight the Ming army quickly.

"The firearms of the Ming army are so sharp?" Hong Chengchou and Hou Fangyu's expression changed suddenly.

Because Bart's defeat was more due to the tricks of the Ming army, who mistook the Ming army's infantry as a civilian food transport team, and suffered a big loss without warning.

Ye Bushou is the elite of the Mongolian cavalry, and his will to fight must be firmer.

Either the Qianqi team was attacked, or the Yebushou team was hit hard.

The first person to be questioned was Agula, the deputy capital of the Eight Banners Mongolia.

In the field of vision, the galloping horse immediately fell to the ground, and the Mongolian cavalry on horseback were also thrown out.

One of the war horses was injured and survived, and it wailed.

There was a look of shame on Agula's face, and he was also very sad that he could not defeat the Ming army.

Of course, if the number of Ming army cavalry is sufficient, and they dismount and line up, they can escape as far as they can.

With a wave of Zhu Cijiong's hand, more than ten scout cavalry scattered.

Imagine the 12.8mm large-caliber rifle bullets of later generations, just that power.

It took less than six seconds for Zhu Cijiong to reload.

But this time, the two sides were separated by five hundred steps, and the scout cavalry of the Ming army opened fire?

"Nothing else, because we really can't beat the Ming army."

It's not like they haven't fought against the scout cavalry of the Ming army before. In most cases, the scout cavalry of the Ming army will only fire after the two sides have entered a hundred steps, and rarely open fire beyond a hundred steps.

Hou Fangyu said: "Agula means 'mountain' in Mongolian. I believe that Agula is as calm as a mountain when he is on the battlefield, but I heard that your five Niulu cavalry were attacked To defeat a thousand cavalry of the Ming army? Please, Deputy Chief Agula, tell me why?"

Hong Chengchou and others then interrogated a dozen other Mongolian soldiers, and found that the rhetoric was similar.

However, the cruel reality soon dealt a heavy blow to Hong Chengchou.

During this period, the Mongolian cavalry only rushed forward for more than fifty steps, and there were still more than 400 steps away.

Agula said: "Our self-generated firecrackers in the Qing Dynasty can only hit one or two hundred paces, but the self-generated firecrackers of the Ming cavalry can hit four or five hundred paces, and even at four hundred paces, they can shoot with one shot." Kill the horse!"

Not long after, more than a dozen Mongolian soldiers were taken to Xingyuan.

The Mongolian cavalry had about [-] cavalry at night, probably because of their superiority in numbers, so they did not rush to escape, but just sent a night to report to the cavalry.

Hou Fangyu couldn't understand why the good situation suddenly became like this?

However, two horses were still killed or wounded.

Hou Fangyu frowned, this situation was beyond his expectation.

After a short pause, Hou Fangyu said again: "Why don't you find a few Mongolians to ask, what's going on? How did they fight this battle? Why can't they win?"

This is by no means a fair fight, but a dimensionality reduction blow.

"Hong Butang, it's impossible to go on like this!" Kong Youde said in a deep voice, "In just half a month, the Eight Banners Mongolia has lost more than [-] horsemen, and what's even more troublesome is that the Eight Banners Mongolia has obviously been scared by the cavalry of the Ming army. , or in other words, there is already a shadow over the fact that the civilian husband's supply team pretended to be the infantry of the Ming army, so I dare not make any more moves."

After the Eight Banners Mongolia withdrew, the Ming army grain road from Dengzhou to Dagukou immediately became busy again.

Agula has no respect for Kong Youde: "If King Pingnan doesn't believe it, you can try it."

The remaining twenty riders continued to speed up, trying to shorten the distance as much as possible.

Zhu Cijiong reloaded as quickly as possible.

The final result can be imagined, the Mongolian cavalry was completely wiped out, and there was no chance of escape.

"Hong Butang, I really can't figure it out."

What worries Hong Chengchou even more is that the losses of the Eight Banners Mongolia are getting bigger every day.

He can choose the most beautiful woman in eight villages to be his wife, and that day will be beautiful.

For a flintlock gun, the reload time is less than six seconds, which is already considered to be extremely fast.

Almost at the same time, more than a dozen scout cavalry around Zhu Cijiong also fired one after another. The Type [-] rifles of these scout cavalry were not equipped with scopes, so the hit rate was very embarrassing.

Zhu Cijiong smiled and raised the Type [-] rifle with a "scope".

But now there are only a dozen scout cavalry in the Ming army, so the Mongolian cavalry felt that the opportunity had come, and immediately spread out to the surroundings, and then quickly approached from different directions.

Hong Chengchou immediately asked Hong Da to find the Eight Banners Mongolia.

What's more terrible is that the loading speed of the Ming army's rifled rifles is also very fast.

"The Eight Banners Mongolia has [-] fine cavalry, why can't it defeat the Ming army's [-] cavalry?"

Since then, reports of the defeat of the Eight Banners Mongolia have been received almost every day.

However, Hong Chengchou didn't take Bart's defeat seriously.

Zhu Cijiong raised his gun again, this time aiming at the horse instead of the person, because the Mongolian cavalry had already hid on the side of the saddle and could no longer see the person.

"Bah!" There was another crisp gunshot.

The rest of the cavalry spread out in all directions.

After convincing Xu Wuniu with "reasons", Zhu Cijiong set off with the scout team.

But at this time, the distance between the two sides was less than a hundred steps, how could they escape?
Soon, all the war horses that Mongolia did not collect at night were shot, but the people were still alive, so they jumped up one by one, threw off their bowlegged legs and fled frantically.

"How far?" Kong Youde asked.

When there were only half of the Mongolian cavalry left, they were finally afraid, turned their horses and wanted to run away.

……

What a great invention was the paper-cased ammo and the tulle primer.

"It makes sense, we should ask clearly."

Just because of the Ming cavalry?However, the Ming army's cavalry is only seven or eight thousand, while the Eight Banners Mongolia has a full forty thousand. The number of cavalry on both sides is not of the same order at all!
Are Ming cavalry really that powerful?
Hou Fangyu couldn't figure it out.

The flintlock guns of the Ming army are indeed sharper than bows and arrows, but their rate of fire is much slower than that of bows and arrows. Therefore, if the two sides confront each other, the Ming army cavalry usually only has one shot.

At this time, near the more than 900-mile-long coastline between Dengzhou and Dagukou, there were Mongolian cavalry everywhere, so Zhu Cijiong took more than ten cavalry and walked not far before he encountered Mongolian cavalry. receive.

The scout cavalry of the Ming army followed the Mongolian Yebushou who had no horses unhurriedly, shooting one after another, shooting all the more than 30 Yebushou in the wilderness like shooting rabbits.

However, what awaited them was an extremely tragic fate, because the scout cavalry of the Ming army were all equipped with rifled rifles, and the bullets they used were also smokeless powder ammunition, which had greater kinetic energy and a longer range.

Hong Chengchou questioned the dozen or so Mongolian soldiers separately.

Now Kong Youde couldn't help but believe it, because the dozen or so Mongolian soldiers were from more than a dozen Thousand Cavalry Teams, and even if they were lying, they couldn't make up a story in such a short period of time and have a unified caliber.

"Hong Butang, it seems that this is true." Kong Youde said in a deep voice.

"The cavalry of the Ming army is really equipped with a very powerful self-generating firecracker."
