Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 123

Countless sharp arrows shot towards them, and many soldiers of the cavalry battalion fell down in an instant, but their advancing momentum did not decrease by half.

Even because of this, the soldiers' will to fight became more vigorous, and once they got close to the Tartars who were forcing the people forward, they would directly kill them.

A fake tartar who was pulling a knife from a young woman's body disappeared in a blink of an eye before he could retract the knife.

The other fake Tartars also became ghosts under the knife unexpectedly.

Seeing that the fake Tartars who were forcing the people forward were about to be defeated, Doduo and Abatai rushed up immediately with their armored soldiers.

These people had big arms, round waists and strong physiques, but when they showed their bravery, the infantry who had already followed the cavalry battalion also rushed up.

And as soon as the cavalry battalion retreated with the people engulfed, they immediately lined up in three rows and shot at the approaching Tartars.

The crackling bullets left bloody holes in the bodies of these screaming Eight Banners Tartars, and it didn't take long for these Eight Banners Tartars to be thrown off their feet by those who shot them.

Duduo and Abatai did not order to retreat, but continued to charge and shot back.

But the soldiers of the infantry battalion obviously shot much faster than these Tartars, and the Tartars were shot and fell before the arrow hit.

The first battalion shoots, the second battalion loads, the third battalion cools down the flintlock guns, and the third-line fighters replace them in an orderly manner.

Once a soldier fell to the ground, soldiers from the supply battalion immediately came to carry it back, and at the same time, soldiers from the supply battalion went to replace it.

Although such continuous shooting was not supported by trenches, it made it impossible for the Tartars to approach except to increase casualties.

Abatai and Duoduo both stopped at the same time, and at the same time continued to charge towards the left and right.

The soldiers of the third battalion quickly retreated, and at the same time, the artillery battalion on Fuhaihai's side also began to show their strength. Abatai's fierce horse was stabbed to death by the iron plate, and he himself fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Abate was also extremely brave, turned around and got on another fierce horse.

But the other Eight Banners Tartars were not so lucky. Many Tartars fell to the ground in front of the artillery fire.

Under the cover of artillery, the infantry battalion and cavalry battalion led tens of thousands of people back into the dense forest, but at this time the Tartars were still rushing towards here desperately.

The sound of iron hooves became more and more urgent, like the beating of a giant drum, shaking the ground and shaking the mountains. Some people panicked and wanted to go inside, but the soldiers of the supply battalion all drew their knives. After all, this is the important place where His Majesty is. Can't get close either.

Not long after, Tartar appeared a hundred steps away, and Chang Yanling immediately shouted: "Fight!"

Immediately, countless projectiles were shot out, and the offensive speed of the Tartars, who were too slow to defend, was once again stagnated. However, at this time, when the Eight Banners Tartars charged, the Han and Mongolian cavalry behind them also began to shoot back arrows. Countless arrows rained on the Tartars' trenches, This made it impossible for the First Battalion of the Infantry to raise its head.

However, the cavalry battalion also began to sprint out, fighting with these Han and Mongolian cavalrymen.

Fight cavalry against archers, and firearms against cavalry. This is the current tactics of the Imperial Guard. Cavalry is faster than archers. Firearms can continuously attack cavalry and slow down the attack speed of cavalry. Zhang will have to pay more than ten casualties.

Although the Tartars were brave, they couldn't resist such a fierce battle. Huang Taiji also wanted to retreat. He didn't want to put all his Eight Banners warriors in for the sake of Zhu Youxiao.

At this time, the situation suddenly changed, and dark clouds came rolling in. Huang Taiji, who was about to withdraw his troops, couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Sahalian, you lead another two thousand armored soldiers to rush up! When the heavy rain comes, I think these Ming troops will return." How to use a firearm."

The roaring thunder began to sound, and the lightning illuminated the dark forest, and the soldiers of the imperial guards were still fighting the Tartars in front.

Suddenly a gust of wind and showers came down, and both sides stopped in an instant, and looked up at the sky in unison.

Duduo, Abatai and other Tartars laughed, yes, the fighting spirit of the Tartars was ignited again, it was raining heavily, and the enemy's firearms were useless.

Chang Yanling and the others also laughed. The heavy rain not only increased the chance of the ammunition getting wet, but it did not affect their shooting at all.

"Keep fighting!"

The flintlock guns were still spouting fury. Due to the strong wind, the aiming effect brought by the burning of black powder dropped a lot. Although the shooting density dropped due to the interference of rain, the accuracy at close range was improved a lot. The three battalions The infantry fighters continued to strike the Tartars with crossfire.

At this time, Huang Taiji also came to the frontline battlefield like Zhu Youxiao. The distance between the two was less than a hundred steps, and they could even see each other's faces clearly.

With a dark face, seven feet in length, wide mouth and narrow eyes, this is the first time Zhu Youxiao saw Huang Taiji's impression.

Without hesitation, he took out his iron box.

Similarly, Huang Taiji also drew out his strong bow.

Both sides also have their own troops ready to use their bodies to resist the lord.

boom!
Zhu Youxiao fired, and Huang Taiji also shot an arrow, which pierced the sky and was cut off by Qin Botong's sword.

The high-speed spinning bullet also shifted its direction due to a gust of wind, and there was no blood hole on Huang Taiji's forehead. There was the smell of burnt protein, and there was a visible gash from the bullet that had grazed the edge of his scalp.

History did not change at this crossroads, but what changed was Huang Taiji's mood.

Huang Taiji, who suddenly changed from a half-bald man to a bald man, was shocked besides anger. He didn't know what kind of firearm the little iron box in Zhu Youxiao's hand was, and it could hit his own money mouse tail. It is also a threat and provocation!

"Ming Jin withdraws troops!"

Huang Taiji felt a little fear in his heart, he didn't know how many such firearms that could hit people silently in Zhu Youxiao's imperial guards.

He remembered the story brought back by the informant about Azige assassinating Zhu Youxiao but being shot dead by Zhu Youxiao on the spot when he was about to capture Zhu Youxiao.

While ordering the troops to withdraw, he sent an order: "Tell them, find a way to get the firearms of the Ming Army back."

Here, Zhu Youxiao was also relieved to see the Tartars suddenly retreating. After several days of fighting, his Imperial Guard soldiers were exhausted, and the number of downsizing began to increase.

But we can't relax because of this, the night is about to enter, and no one is sure whether the Tartars will attack the camp.

In this era without incendiary bombs and night vision devices, firearms can't even play a little role at night, and artillery can't achieve precise strikes.

"Command the cavalry battalion to rest immediately and attack the Tartar camp in two hours. The three infantry battalions and the artillery battalion are not allowed to get up unless the enemy is attacking or it is dawn. Let me sleep obediently. The officers and soldiers of the supply battalion and engineers immediately Enter the position and be ready to attack the Tartars at any time!"

Since the night is not conducive to firearms combat, Zhu Youxiao simply let the artillery and infantry recharge their batteries first, and at the same time let the supply battalion with light combat tasks during the day be responsible for defense.

At the same time, the engineering soldiers also joined in, and Qin Botong was given full command. He, Zhu Youxiao, was also tired and needed a rest.

　Thank you book friend Xiao Bobo for your reward.
