lied to Kangxi

Chapter 889

"Hula la..." After the huge gate flag was lowered, dozens of heavy artillery raised their ferocious muzzles and pointed eeriely at the Raksha people's position.

Yuzhu knew in his heart that the Raksha people were just a third-rate European military power.

In terms of rich combat experience and advanced weapons and equipment, the Rakshas are far inferior to the British and French.

The heavy cannon brought by Yuzhu was too heavy, and it was not convenient to move at all.

If the Raksha people were smarter and switched to another location for a decisive battle, these heavy artillery would become a pile of waste iron, completely useless.

In order to confuse the Raksha people, Yu Zhu deliberately covered the entire artillery position with a huge gate flag.

After Stark discovered this new situation, he was shocked immediately.

However, the two armies had already set up the formation for the decisive battle, and it was impossible for Stark to temporarily change the formation or retreat collectively.

Because the cavalry of the Qing army is obviously much larger than the cavalry of the Raksha Kingdom.

No matter how stupid Stark is, he also knows that fighting against cavalry requires a dense formation.

As long as the formation is slightly loose and flaws are exposed, it is impossible for the Luocha infantry to withstand the violent impact of the Qing cavalry.

The Eight Banners Firearms Battalion was well-trained. About a quarter of an hour later, "Boom..." the first row of heavy artillery let out a deafening roar.

More than a dozen huge iron bullets roared into the Rakshasa team with the sound of wind and thunder that killed them.

The fiery red iron bullets, carrying huge kinetic energy, fiercely plowed into the Rakshasa phalanx. Wherever they passed, stumped limbs flew across, guts were ripped apart, and screams came and went.

Yuzhu held up the binoculars and carefully observed the results of the bombardment.

Alas, if it was an explosive cannonball with a time-delayed fuze, the loss of the Raksha people would be at least ten times higher.

Yuzhu secretly regretted it, what a pity, the old emperor has been unwilling to hand over the Eight Banners Firearms Battalion to him.

Otherwise, with Yuzhu's knowledge and ability, it would not be a problem at all to replace all the artillery with the standard 6-pound field artillery of the British army.

The solid artillery shells hit the enemy army, which seemed to make people turn their backs.In fact, the bombardment was far less effective than a hollow shell filled with lead pellets.

If the training is in place, this kind of hollow flowering shell will explode in the air above the enemy's phalanx, and the effect of the critical strike will be even better.

Immediately afterwards, the second row of heavy artillery also roared.

Stark, who was observing the enemy's situation behind the phalanx, immediately regretted it.

If he had known that the Qing army was coming with heavy artillery, he shouldn't have fought here.

Yu Zhu could see clearly that the dense formation of the Rakshasa just made up for the shortcomings of solid projectiles.

The hot solid bullets, bouncing and rolling, reaped human lives recklessly in the crowded crowd.

Yu Zhu put down the binoculars, took the water bag in Niu Tai's hand, and took a big gulp. Well, the tea is so sweet!
The guys from the Eight Banners Firearms Battalion only knew that all the artillery was fired together.

The problem is that due to the lack of training, it takes at least half an hour from washing the gun barrel to reloading the shell and then firing it.

In other words, it takes about 10 minutes to fire once, and at most six shots an hour.

Because the metallurgical industry of the Qing Dynasty was seriously behind the times, the heavy artillery of several thousand kilograms had to stop every six times it was fired, and wait for half an hour for cooling time.

Otherwise, it is easy to blow up the chamber, causing a lot of casualties to the gunners.

The British field artillery of the same period can be fired at least 40 times in a row before cooling down for an hour.

There are at least 2000 Luocha people, and there are only fifty five-rate heavy artillery, which is unlikely to cause too much actual damage.

However, Yuzhu just wanted to use the solid projectiles of the heavy artillery to cause temporary confusion among the Rakshasa people.

"Raise the flag, blow the trumpet, and order the scattered cavalry to rush up and harass the Raksha people."

Yu Zhu had negotiated a deal with the recruited Mongolian scattered cavalry in advance. They were not responsible for rushing into the Raksha people's position, but only needed to continuously shoot arrows to harass them around.

In layman's terms, fight if you win, and flee if you can't win.

According to Yuzhu, I brought you here to make a fortune, not to let you lose your life here.

To tell the truth, Yuzhu's order is very appetizing to the Mongolian cavalry.

The scattered cavalry who have not undergone strict discipline training can only fight with the wind.

If you win, you will pounce on it and bite hard.When defeated, they flattered their horses and fled wildly.

As long as you save your life and run away, there is no shame in the slightest.

"Yo ho, yo ho..." More than [-] Mongolian scattered cavalry, waving their swords in their hands, charged towards the Raksha people's wings like a tide.

"Damn yellow-skinned monkey!" Stark was so angry that his nostrils were smoking, but he had to order the Cossack cavalry regiment to face it head-on.

Even a fool would know that if the Mongolian cavalry rushed into the infantry's phalanx, it would be like a tiger plunging into a flock of sheep, and they could only be slaughtered.

You must know that until the Battle of Waterloo, the Duke of Wellington of the British army used the thin red line tactics to require that the artillery should not fire until the French army approached within 100 meters, and the infantry was not allowed to fire until the French army was within 20 meters.

As a result, the British army defeated Nahuang's army head-on for the first time with pride!

Of course, if the Raksha people had the fighting qualities of the new army, and dared to put the cavalry within 50 meters, and then fired together, that would be another matter.

What is unexpected is that after more than 1000 Cossack cavalry attacked, they quickly defeated [-] Mongolian scattered cavalry.

The lack of organization and discipline of the herdsmen on the grasslands showed it to the fullest. The Mongolian cavalry ran away with their heads in their arms, and dared not look back.

At this time, Yuzhu smiled slightly, raised his chin, and ordered decisively: "Order the Rehe Iron Cavalry and Fengtai Heavy Armored Cavalry to attack with the whole army, and be sure to entangle the Cossacks. Tell them, whoever dares to take half a step back, I will not only chop them Their heads are used as chamber pots, and their descendants will be cut off from their duties."

"Hey." After receiving the order, several heralds rushed to deliver the order.

All the Manchurian and green battalion generals standing behind Yuzhu had faces as heavy as black iron, and their hearts were unusually heavy.

They never expected that Yu Zhu, who seemed to have a happy face, was so cruel and vicious.

However, everyone is the leader of the army, who doesn't understand the truth that kindness does not lead the army?
Thinking about it carefully, everyone understands Yuzhu's ruthlessness very well.

Today's so-called Eight Banners Cavalry is no longer the so-called invincible braided army when the Qing army first entered the customs.

If the military law is not strict, this group of Eight Banners cavalry who have no real skills but are defiant, would really dare to run away.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man!
Correspondingly, under Scarlet's intimidation, a brave man emerges!
Although the gradually declining Eight Banners soldiers were afraid of death, they were even more afraid of being deprived of their hereditary titles.

Bannermen in this era have no craftsmanship and are not allowed to do business.If one is deprived of the hereditary title, there will be no hardcore crops to claim.

Nima, the whole family is going to starve to death!
When they met on a narrow road, the Eight Banners soldiers were forced to risk their lives and had to fight to the end!
