Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 211 Sniper
"Report..." A cavalryman galloped into the Qing army's camp, got off his horse, rushed to Duo Duo at the first moment, and knelt down on one knee to report.

"Report to Your Highness, the new army has about [-] reinforcements, and they are less than ten miles away from me."

Doduo frowned and asked, "Can you find out what weapons they carry, are there any artillery?"

"The enemy's reinforcements marched very fast, and no large artillery was found, but weapons that needed to be carried by several people were found."

"how many?"

Tang Bing pondered for a moment before saying, "It hasn't been found out yet."

Duoduo's heart sank slightly. He knew that this kind of weapon must be very powerful. The reinforcements sent by the new army must have support, otherwise relying on thousands of infantry would not be of much use at all.

"Explore again..."

"Yes..." Tang Bing responded immediately, and then rode his horse again and left quickly.

Duoduo used the binoculars to look in the direction of the battlefield. Due to the height, he could only see the edge of the battlefield, but the center of the battlefield was unknown.

"Our army must be caught in a melee with the enemy, unable to exert the impact of the cavalry."

"Tunji, you bring another thousand soldiers and horses, and order the people fighting in front to withdraw immediately, and make room for your troops. Your troops will attack quickly, and the new army's defense line will be unstoppable."

Duoduo is worthy of being a heroic general of the Qing army, and he saw the biggest problem before he actually visited the frontline battlefield.

As he said, the Qing army rushing up the slope fell into a melee with the Xin army and Xu Yong's army, and the formation was also very chaotic. Coupled with the small space, the horses could not exert their impact, which made the cavalry's combat power great. Discounted.

However, after suffering so many casualties, they managed to rush uphill. Although the commander in charge of the Qing army saw the problem, he was still unwilling to retreat first, and then the whole team charged.

But Duoduo didn't think so. He believed that his Eight Banners Army could go up the first time, and they could go up the second time.

He calculated that the powerful weapons of the new army had basically lost their effectiveness, and it should be much easier to charge up the second time.

The new army could barely withstand the first attack, but they would not be able to resist the second time, and the entire defense line would collapse quickly, so he sent Bei Zitunji to command and change tactics without hesitation.

"Yes..." Tun Ji responded immediately and rode away.

At this moment, suddenly, with a whoosh, Tun Ji fell off his horse with a scream.

"There are assassins, protect Your Highness." Dodo's bodyguard was shocked and immediately protected Dodo's body.

Doduo himself also reacted quickly, and immediately turned to one side, got off the horse,

Just at this moment, another bullet flew towards Duoduo's head.

The personal guards quickly used shields to protect the surrounding area. Duoduo changed the place immediately, but those personal guards who used shields to form a protective wall did not leave with him. He used a small trick .

The reason for this is that Duoduo knows that the new army has weapons that shoot very far, and once he is locked, it will be very dangerous.

He guessed that the other party's target should be him just now, but Tun Ji just moved a little, so he happened to block in front of him.

This is indeed the case. The one who fired just now was a sniper team sent by Huang Hairu, consisting of two snipers.

The two snipers made a big circle before they found this not-so-ideal sniper position, because the other positions were even worse. The biggest reason was that the distance was too far and the field of vision was not very good.

The two were not in a hurry to shoot, because they knew that they should only have one chance to shoot, so cherish it.

The distance is about 250 feet, which is very difficult and stressful.

But they all knew that if Duduo could be killed with one shot, it might directly change the situation of the battle.

But obviously, although he had made sufficient preparations, he lacked some luck. The shot that could have hit was just blocked by another person.

Although another sniper made up a shot in time, the best time had been missed, and the target had already responded before the bullet arrived.

"Withdraw..." The two of them stopped staying immediately, and immediately evacuated from the ambush position.

Not long after, hundreds of Qing cavalry began to sweep in this direction.

The injured Tun Ji was carried to Duo Duo, and Duo Duo checked his injury himself.

Tunji was shot in the lower right abdomen. Although the pharmacy accompanying the army provided timely treatment, he could only shake his head at Duoduo.

"This projectile is extremely powerful. Beizi's internal organs are mostly damaged, and he lost a lot of blood. I'm afraid it's..."

Duoduo's face was gloomy. He didn't expect to lose a shellfish suddenly at this moment.

Fortunately, Tun Ji happened to stand in front of him, otherwise, Duoduo might be the one who was hopeless.

The new army's assassination method is really extremely vicious, elusive, and the assassination distance is so far away, it is really hard to guard against.

This sudden assassination disrupted Duduo's plan, and Tunji could no longer fight. He immediately said to Berenic: "Tunji's mission, I will let you do it."

"Yes, Your Highness." Nikan responded immediately.

"Be careful of the assassination of the new army." Duoduo reminded.

"The general understands, Your Highness has to be careful..."

Nikan took the order to leave, and Duoduo ordered to expand the defensive range on both sides of the camp to a hundred feet, and at the same time sent several teams of soldiers to strengthen the outer patrol.

Nikan quickly mobilized his troops, reorganized his army, and led a thousand cavalry to rumble away.

When they arrived at the front of the formation, the cavalry of the Qing army who were fighting the new army heard a long sound of "hum..." and immediately tried to find a way to get out of the battle, and then urged their horses to leave.

Those who got off their horses fended off the new army's attack, then got on their horses and left.

As for those whose horses were injured and could not find other horses, they fought and retreated in an orderly manner.

When these returning Qing troops saw Nikan's neat formation, they all took the initiative to avoid Nikan's way forward.

"Kill..." With a long roar.

The cavalry in the first row immediately urged the horses, and followed one by one. The speed of the horses was increasing, and the sound became louder and louder.

Due to the sudden retreat of the Qing army, the faces of the soldiers of the Xin army and Xu Yong's troops who had just gained a breather suddenly changed.

"Set up the formation..." All the generals shouted in shock.

Regardless of their physical exhaustion, the soldiers hurriedly set up the formation, erecting their shields one after another, and spears pierced through the gaps in the shield formation, forming a forest of guns.

As soon as the simple line of defense was arranged in a hurry, the cavalry of the Qing army rushed in. Although the speed of going uphill was slowed down, it was still very fast.

Facing the forest of sharp guns that was chilling, the Qing army in the front row not only did not retreat at all, but roared and kept urging their horses, and slammed into them with a bang.

Although the Qing army cavalry in the first row suffered a lot of casualties, with their ferocious impact, they also broke through the defenses that the new army hastily built.

Some soldiers were even sent flying upside down by the knock, and some soldiers were shocked to death by the huge impact.

The Qing army in the rear rushed in frantically through the opening, and continued to rush forward without stopping.

Along the way, the soldiers of the Qing army either beheaded with knives, stabbed with spears, or even shot rapidly with bows and arrows.
