Chapter 240 Fighting Kangxi ([-])
With the sound of horns, most of the cannons of the Qing army were pulled to the front of the formation by tricycles. The twelve Shenwei Invincible Generals' cannons were placed in front of the formation one by one, which looked very majestic.

The caliber of this kind of artillery is three inches and seven inches, the length is seven feet and seven inches, and it weighs 270 four kilograms. There are five iron rings around the gun body to strengthen the gun body. "Dou" is used for aiming, with four catties of powder and eight catties of iron bullets. It can be called the most advanced artillery in the Qing army.

There are also twelve iron-built Shenwei cannons in front of the formation. The caliber of this kind of cannon is smaller than that of the Shenwei Invincible General Cannon, and the iron bullets weigh eight catties.These guns are only allowed to be equipped in the Eight Banners, so it is impossible for ordinary green battalions to come into contact with such artillery.

In addition to these two powerful cannons, more than 100 Weiyuan cannons, sub-cannons and mortars were placed in front of the Qing army's positions. These small and medium-caliber cannons are more in number, but their power and range are different Relatively very backward.The gunners listened to the order and began to fire. Hundreds of bullets were shot out and blasted towards Lu Tingyi.

Amidst the rumble of artillery, thousands of soldiers from the Firearms Battalion of the Han Army lined up and attacked Lu Ting Post. With a horizontal knife.These people can't be equated with the ordinary green battalion, but the elite of the Qing Dynasty, who would never be dispatched at ordinary times.

Kangxi held up the binoculars and looked at the small Luting post in the distance. It was a small village and town. After the baptism of the artillery round just now, it had already been hit in many places, but the accuracy of the bullets of the Qing army was not high, so These more than 100 bullets did not cause very heavy casualties.

The soldiers of the Fuhan Army lined up by themselves, shouted slogans, and took steps towards the direction of the Qing army, waiting for the arrival of the Kangxi army. They didn't seem to be too scared, but rather impatient. the feeling.On the other hand, although the Qing army has already occupied many advantages, its morale still seems a little low.

Seeing this scene, Kangxi couldn't help but sighed slightly, and said: "Chu Ni's morale is so strong, it is really rare."

"My Majesty, Chu Ni is the most elite team on the opposite side. Although the combat power is strong, after all, it has experienced a big battle the day before yesterday. Although the morale is strong now, it does not last long."

Tong Fahai said in a low voice: "Now this battle is bound to kill him completely, so as to boost the morale of our army. When Chu Ni comes out of Tongcheng, our army can just take advantage of the victory and fight."

Kangxi just hummed lightly and didn't say anything else, but continued to watch the scenes on the battlefield through the binoculars.

Amidst the sound of artillery fire from both sides of the enemy and ourselves, the soldiers of the Qing army gradually narrowed the distance with the Fuhan army. From time to time, bullets fell on the crowd of the Qing army, rolling out streaks of blood mist, especially as the distance between the Qing army increased. As it got closer and closer, more and more Qing soldiers were killed and injured as a result.

Of course, when the Qing army suffered from artillery damage, the Fuhan army did not have a good time. Many soldiers died in the artillery of the Qing army, but they were not shaken by it and continued to walk step by step.

The war in this era was extremely cruel. Before the bloody battle, both sides had to bear a large number of artillery strikes. Although the accuracy of the artillery was extremely poor, the lethality of the artillery became much greater at such a short distance.

"boom!"

The shotgunners of the Qing army had already reached a distance of 60 steps from the Fuhan army. They leveled the shotguns in their hands, and a storm of projectiles rushed towards the Fuhan army. However, due to poor accuracy, only [-] Many soldiers of the Fuhan Army fell to the ground.

Unmoved, the soldiers of the Fuhan Army in red uniforms walked out amidst the thick white gunpowder smoke. They walked in neat steps amidst the whistle, silent and dead, as if they had just A round of bullets did not cause any casualties to them, nor did it make them angry and manic, even though the more than 60 Fuhan soldiers had fallen behind, blood was streaming on the ground
They kept the rhythm of this pace, and held the flintlock guns in their hands straight. They have their own pride. The first division of the main force ranks first in the Fuhan army, and their first regiment ranks first among the first divisions , death is just waiting in front of them.

sixty steps.
fifty steps.
Forty steps.
The face of the Qing army has become dazed and panicked. They don't know what the rebel army is doing, but it is obvious that the opponent is crazy!Even when they were face to face, they still didn't shoot!
Today's regiment, up and down, has tasted the sweetness of shooting close to the face. It was not until forty steps that the soldiers of the Fuhan Army leveled the muzzle of their guns and pulled the trigger.

"boom--"

A burst of clear and powerful gunshots rang out in the ears of the Qing army like a blast of thunder. Nearly a thousand bullets exerted unimaginable power at such a short distance, creating a dense line of blood in the Qing army crowd in front of them. Line, the Qing soldiers in front of them almost fell down a row.

After this round of gunfire, more than 300 people in the formation of the Qing army almost fell down, and a lot of blood flowed out, filling the entire battlefield with a bloody smell.

Seeing this scene, many soldiers of the Qing army almost collapsed. In addition, many Qing soldiers who were shot and fell to the ground made miserable screams from time to time, which made this place a purgatory on earth.

"attack!"

After all, the Han army’s firearms battalion is no different than others. After all, this hard-core crop has been eaten for so many years, and its loyalty to the Qing Dynasty is even higher than that of the pure Manchus. , everyone understands that if you retreat at this time, you will die without a doubt.

Yes, at a distance of forty steps, it can be said that they are shooting in line. Whether it is a flintlock or a shotgun, the accuracy has been greatly improved compared to before, and the casualties on both sides have also risen sharply in this round of shooting.

It's just that no matter how good the shotgun is, it's just a matchlock gun.However, after the flintlock guns of the Fuhan army got rid of the restriction of the matchlock, their firing speed was almost several times that of the shotgun. Under the pressure, the Han Army Firearms Battalion of up to 5000 people almost collapsed in front of the 2000-strong Fu Han Army.

"Chu Ni firearm is so sharp."

Kangxi gritted his teeth and said bitterly, this battle was different from before, it was an upright battle, but it was not as good as the siege battle a few days ago, in such a short half an hour, the Qing army had already More than 1000 people fell down, and they haven't collapsed until now, and they are fighting entirely with blood.

Tong Fahai was about to say something, but saw a Qing army sentry flying from afar, and that direction was Tongcheng.

"Report to the emperor, Chu Ni in Tongcheng has already made a big move, and he will arrive at Lu Tingyi in a maximum of three hours!"

"Okay! It's finally here! Tell Naersu to lead the Xiaoqi Battalion to follow closely, and when our army is in a stalemate, we can attack his heart with all his might!"

Kangxi's eyes were a little excited, as if it was fate, and he even slightly looked forward to this moment.
