The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 270 Sniping!

"kill!"

"Kill Ming thief!"

"..."

Thousands of cavalry galloped forward, and the sky was covered by smoke and dust, as if the earth was shaking.

The high-headed horse bumped into him head-on, which was completely different from the oppressive feeling brought by the cavalry riding around the formation.

The Liberation Army responded positively, sharp spears were placed on the shield, and they rested at a 45-degree angle to the front.

A cold metallic luster shone on the sharp spear tip!
"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"..."

The Liberation Army shouted in unison, and the shouts of killing were very loud.

The naval guns were roaring, and the musketeers were constantly reloading, firing salvos, and rockets shot into the sky one after another.

Draw a beautiful arc in the sky, and then fall towards the Qing army!

The Qing army who was about to charge into battle was thrown off their feet by the bombers!

He was attacked head-on by lead bullets, and was even smashed into flesh by solid shells.

It's just that cavalry is cavalry, and the speed is not comparable to infantry!
In the next moment, the Qing army rushed to the front of the formation carrying the firepower of the recovery army.

With a bang, the cavalry collided with the formation of the soldiers!

The sharp spear pierced the horse's body, and even strung the horse and the knight on the horse into a string.

However, the heavy armored soldiers of the Liberation Army who were holding their shields were also knocked out by the powerful impact, and then fell to the ground, life and death unknown.

The moment the two sides collided, at least half of the heavy armored infantry in the first row of the Liberation Army fell down!
Or they were hit to death by galloping horses on the spot, or they were seriously injured and fractured, and screamed.

Snapped!clap clap!clap clap clap!

It's just that the Qing army who had finished charging into the battle had no time to be proud, and was shot in the face by the musketeers of the Restoration Army in the next moment.

The remaining heavy armored infantry kept stabbing with their spears, trying their best to kill the enemy!
The unarmored Qing cavalry quickly withdrew!
During the evacuation, they were bombarded by several rounds of guns and heavy artillery.

However, under Shang Zhixiao's command, the second charge came soon.

The cavalry of the Qing army rushed up amidst the sound of muskets and the roar of heavy artillery, and collided with the heavy steps of the Restoration Army again.

Back at the sound of musketry again!

Charge up, be repelled, charge up again, be repelled again...

The cavalry of the Qing army launched charges again and again, but they could not break through the formation of the recovery army.

The Liberation Army faced the charge of the cavalry directly, and the formation was not chaotic at all, and they responded methodically.

Under the firepower of muskets and artillery, the cavalry of the Qing army can still charge continuously!
Soldiers on both sides have shown strong resilience and the ability to withstand casualties!

Shang Zhixiao followed the army to charge again and again, and the soldiers around him suffered heavy casualties.

However, with the carrot of the position of the son hanging in front of him, Shang Zhixiao continued to shout and fight endlessly.

Command the army to charge again and again!

Now Shang Zhixiao only sees Zhu Hongyu's banner.

……

Zhu Hongyu held a rifled gun in his hand!

Adjust your breathing rate, and aim the front sight and rear sight ahead.

The target is Shang Zhixiao in the Qing army!

The Liberation Army is now capable of manufacturing rifled guns in small batches, and these rifled guns have been used on the battlefield.

If you shoot a platoon gun, it is not practical at all because the rate of fire of the rifled gun is too slow.

However, if you use the ultra-high precision of the rifled gun to snipe the enemy general, it is still no problem!

There is such a special sniper team in the Liberation Army, which is responsible for calling enemy officers with rifled guns on the battlefield.

At this distance, if you want to kill the enemy general, you can rely on the rifled guns of this era, which is actually quite difficult!
But Zhu Hongyu wants to try it out. Speaking of sniping, he is a professional!
Carefully observe Shang Zhixiao's movements, estimate the distance, lick wet fingers to feel the wind and humidity, and fine-tune the muzzle.

Suddenly, Zhu Hongyu seized the opportunity, snapped, and pulled the trigger!
The sparks from the impact of the flint ignited the gunpowder, and a puff of gunpowder smoke rose from the muzzle.

Gunpowder smoke mixed with the flames visible to the naked eye!

A piece of lead popped out of the chamber, spinning and shooting towards Shang Zhixiao.

In the blink of an eye, Shang Zhixiao, who was still commanding the army to charge, suddenly froze.

The buckshot shot from the rifled gun hit Shang Zhixiao's forehead mercilessly!

In an instant, Shang Zhixiao's Tianling Gai was blown away by lead bullets!

White brains sprayed out!
"His Royal Highness!"

Xu Tai on the side let out an exclamation.

However, before his words fell, Shang Zhixiao had already fallen from his horse.

With a bang, the body fell to the ground!
In just an instant, a great chaos erupted in the Qing army!
The death of the main general caused the morale of the Qing army to drop instantly, and it almost collapsed directly.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Hongyu said with joy on his face.

"Haha, Gu hit!"

Sure enough, the marksmanship he practiced for so many years in the army was not for nothing.

Seeing this scene, the generals of the Restoration Army around him praised him one after another.

"His Royal Highness shoots!"

"The prison is mighty!"

"..."

Zhu Hongyu waved his hand and said.

"Don't flatter me, order the army to attack!"

Zhu Hongyu's military order was issued, and in an instant, the piercing charge horn sounded in the recovery army formation.

Tick ​​tick!Tick ​​tick!Beep beep!

The soldiers of the Restoration Army took advantage of the situation and launched a bayonet charge.

The cavalry of the Qing army was stunned by the sudden counter-charge, coupled with Shang Zhixiao's sudden death, the collapse only took a moment.

Almost all the cavalry of the Qing army chose to pull their horses and leave, deducing what it means to be defeated like a mountain!
When the cavalry of the Qing army rushed up, they were as fast as the tide, but when they retreated, they were even faster.

And unlike the strict formation during the charge, the Qing army completely lost its rules when it retreated!

It's becoming a mess!
The next moment, the cavalry of the Liberation Army attacked!

The cavalry of the Restoration Army is less than a thousand cavalry, and based on their level, it is definitely not enough to confront the cavalry of the Qing Army.

It can only be used as sentry cavalry, or when chasing and killing defeated soldiers and expanding the results of the battle.

The cavalry of the Restoration Army rushed out!

In an instant, it was divided into two parts, like two sharp scimitars, piercing into the broken formation of the Qing army.

Start to encircle, divide, and annihilate the collapsed and fled Qing cavalry!
The big picture is set!

Since Shang Zhixiao was shot dead by Zhu Hongyu, the defeat of the Qing army in this battle was already doomed.

Losing the chief general and being cut off from his way back, and just before that he was taught to be a man outside Leizhou City, the collapse of the Qing army was a matter of course.

The Eight Banners of the Qing Army in this era is indeed elite, but elite does not mean that it will not be defeated, and it will not collapse after defeat!

Counting from the Battle of Leizhou, the number of casualties of this [-]-thousand Qing army cavalry is almost half of the total force!

Being able to persist in fighting until now, and not collapse until the death of the main general, who dares to say that they are not elite?
The cavalry of the Restoration Army quickly chased and killed the rout of the Qing army, and the infantry began to sweep the battlefield.

The Guangfu Army despises the weapons and armor of the Qing army, but the value of those war horses on the battlefield is inestimable to the Guangfu Army.

……

Zhu Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered.

"Order the army to quickly clean up the battlefield, and then march towards Gaozhou!"

He wants to take the Qing army captured in this battle and the beheaded Qing army head to build a Beijing temple outside Gaozhou City to frighten people's hearts.

He wanted to see, who would dare to massacre the city from now on!

The cavalry of the Ming army chased and killed the defeated Qing army on horseback. Although the Qing army was also cavalry, the long-term battle made their horses exhausted.
