Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 498 Chasing Hauge (Chapter 17)
Before leaving the Southwest, the Imperial Guard Battalion of the Second Army of the Guards handed over 22 Chongzhen Type [-] rifled guns representing the most advanced production technology in the world to the Seventh Army of the Guards after participating in actual combat and confirming that they were qualified for actual combat. .

The imperial guard camp waited until they returned to Beijing before reinstalling Chongzhen Type 22 rifled guns.

At this time, Hua Chunlong, a first-class soldier in an infantry battalion of the First Guards Corps, held this gun.

Hua Chunlong has just been in the army for one year, and after graduating from social studies for three years, he successfully passed the entrance examination to join the Guards.

As the son of a hunter, he was born with the temperament of a hunter. At this time, he only wore a gray robe and a hat made of withered grass to hide himself as much as possible in the snowy land of central Sichuan.

He was looking for the traces of the Qing Army Tartars, lying in ambush in the wilderness like a hunter.

He can judge whether there is any creature passing by by the slight sound from the dry grass around him. The thick standard military boots on his feet are as if they are not worn, and they can't make a sound when they step on the dead branches. His agile eyes are like snow wolves. The eyes seem to be able to observe the situation in a 360-degree area.

Several Bayalas under Hauge were also very careful, but because of the lack of food supply, the heart rate increased after the blood sugar level decreased, which made their snorting sound aggravated. Stepping on dead branches on the ground made a loud bang, which made Hua Chunlong quickly discover that there were people in and out of the place, and walked a little farther quietly, going around to hide in corners where they would not be easy to find but they must pass by.

In the severe winter snow, few people will come out.

As long as someone comes out, it must be a Tartar fleeing in the wilderness, so Hua Chunlong will not worry that he will accidentally injure the people, and he believes that even if the Tartar shaves his head, it will not be able to cover up the thick Tartar when they speak Accent, even if you can speak some Chinese, it is an accent from outside the customs, and more importantly, the local people and the Tartars have different body types.

When some of Hauge's Ba Yala came over, Hua Chunlong had already confirmed that he was a Tartar. He immediately held the Chongzhen Type 22 rifled gun tightly in his hand, with one eye closed, only looking at the three dots and one line. Slowly moved to Ba Yala's temple.

In this kind of wilderness, chasing the remnants of the enemy is about killing with one sniper shot, so that it will not be easy to make the wounded howl and scare away the stragglers in the distance.

Snapped!
Hua Chunlong pulled the trigger. He liked this kind of rifled gun that could shoot extremely far without having to take out the shells. It also produced much less smoke than a flintlock gun with black powder as a primer. In this gray sky and It is difficult to be found under the cover of tall haystacks.

A bullet fired by Hua Chunlong accurately entered the brain of a Manchurian Zhenglan Banner Bayala.

The Ba Yala immediately fell to the ground and convulsed, raised his hands up, blood gushed out, closed his eyes and died not long after.

And the other three Ba ​​Yala watched in astonishment as their companion was shot and died suddenly. Before they could react, one of them was shot and died again!

The remaining two Ba Yala hurriedly looked up and looked around, but they couldn't find any figures in their field of vision. They fired their bows and arrows in a panic according to the gunshot just now, and the heavy arrows that came at high speed stopped far in front of Hua Chunlong. The place.

I don't know when, the most powerful Manchu Ba Yala couldn't use the Qing bow to make up the gap between the bow and the rifle.

Hua Chunlong shot down another Ba Yala.

Thirty years ago, even tens of thousands of troops could not kill a single Bajala. Now he, a recruit who has just been in the army for one year, can kill several at once.

This is the huge change brought about by the progress of Ming Dynasty's military industry. Hua Chunlong didn't think it was anything, he was just clearing out the remnants of the enemy, but if Lu Xiangsheng was reborn and saw such a soldier who killed several Ba Yala in a row, he would have been promoted to a trusted military officer.

The remaining Ba Yala panicked and hurriedly ran in other directions, and accidentally rolled down the slope, and Hua Chunlong also chased after him. He didn't shoot again, he wanted to see Will this tartar still have his own master or companion? If so, he will kill them all.

If this was impossible 30 years ago, there were only a few cases of Ba Yala chasing thousands of Ming troops, and there was no case of a Ming army recruit chasing a Ba Yala.

But now such a situation happened during the real Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty, and it was not just a case. Even the most ordinary soldiers of the Guards no longer found it surprising. They thought it was the most common, because they themselves It is natural to think that it is the best army. This is derived from the self-confidence after victories in several wars, and it is also a change since the implementation of the heavy force policy.

Hauge heard the gunshots, and he ran away with his men without stopping.

He knew that the Ming army would definitely come after him later, so he hurriedly grabbed a few wild oranges and ran into the denser and deeper woods, but accidentally fell into a puddle of half-frozen mud, which made him shiver from the cold , a few servants helped him up, but all the oranges he brought fell into the mud, but he didn't care about so much at this time, so he could only continue running.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Hauge climbed up a hillside, gritted his teeth and turned over the hillside. After seeing the flat ground, he sat down to rest and breathe.

Hauge was fortunate that the surrounding terrain in central Sichuan was complicated, and the hills connected to the hills made it easier for him to avoid the pursuit of the Ming army. However, after a long stop and go, he was a little hungry again. After all, oranges are fruits, not dry food for hunger, nor With high-protein and high-fat meat products, he consumes a lot of energy by running like this, so he naturally gets hungry quickly.

But at this time, the elder brother of the Manchu Emperor Shunzhi, Hauge, only had some chili peppers brought by his servants still on his body, so he could only chew the chili peppers in his mouth, who knew that the chili peppers were extremely hot. Either it was a rotten musty smell or it was so hot that his mouth was full of fire, his lips were red and swollen, but he was extremely hungry and could only grit his teeth and continue eating, sweating all over his face.

In order to suppress the burning sensation in his mouth, Prince Su Hauge grabbed a handful of wild vegetables and chewed them in his mouth, but just as he was enjoying the slightly bitter taste of wild vegetables, another burst of gunshots rang out, One of the Ba Yala jumped on him and blocked a bullet for him.

Prince Su Hauge pushed the Bajala away and ran away. The potential of human beings is immeasurable. Hauge didn’t know where the physical strength came from, so he ran extremely fast, and his Bayala also ran around in a panic. , There are also loyal Ming troops who follow the gunfire and want to block the sneak attack.

Hua Chunlong smiled slightly, he had already followed Prince Su Hauge without being noticed, and at this time there were only three Ba ​​Yala left beside Hauge.
