Chapter 64 The First Battle of the Dragoons

Even though it was in front of the general soldier of Ming Dynasty, Huduntu's face suddenly changed color.

Huang Taiji completely frightened him.

He will never have the courage to confront him again in this life.

"How many people came?"

Huduntu forced himself to ask calmly.

"Look at the formation, at least [-] to [-]."

The corner of Huduntu's mouth twitched, and he looked at Zhu Youjian.It seems to be saying: so many, how to fight?Let me into town quickly.

Zhu Youjian was also under some pressure, saying that the Jurchen was invincible, so wouldn't the fifty or sixty thousand be invincible?
"Whether you can win a fight or not, you have to fight to know."

After speaking, he turned his horse's head and returned to the city.

After returning to the city, he sent [-] soldiers from the Yongwei Battalion out of the city to build fortifications.

Before nightfall, the fortifications outside the city were repaired.

Several layers of trenches were dug on the outermost periphery, and sharpened bamboos were inserted in the trenches.Further inside is the rejection of the horse.

Mainly to slow down the frontal impact of the opponent's cavalry.

On the second day, Huang Taiji led the army to arrive.

Huang Taiji was also a little surprised when he saw the posture on the other side.

Did the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty dare to go out of the city to fight the Eight Banners Army?With a sneer in his heart, he began to organize the battle formation.

On the city wall, Zhu Youjian in military uniform was quietly looking in the direction of the opposing camp, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, it's too dangerous here. It's better to go back to the city." Hou Shilu stood aside and said softly.

"No need, I'll just watch the battle here." Zhu Youjian stared intently at the opponent's sweat tent.

At this time, Jiannu didn't have a cannon, and he couldn't shoot an arrow, so he had nothing to fear.

"Is Jiannu within range of the artillery at this moment?"

"Not here." Hou Shilu shook his head. "Unless the Jiannu launch an attack, our artillery will not be able to hit the opponent."

"Once the Jiannu attack, come within gun range and shoot at them."

"Yes!"

After a stick of incense, Huang Taiji launched a tentative attack.The target was an army of black armor he had never seen before.

The first to dispatch were light infantry, that is, Liao soldiers without armor.

These are Liao people who were captured by Jiannu, and they always rushed to the front to be cannon fodder in wars.There were not many of them, only about [-]. Under the surveillance of the side supervisor team, they lined up and rushed forward.

At this time, the Ming army was at the forefront of the [-] Musketeers led by Sun Yingyuan. Sun Yingyuan was also a little nervous at the moment. Although he had suppressed the peasant army before, it was the first time he had faced the notorious Jiannu.Gently clenched his sweaty hands, staring closely at the enemy soldiers rushing over.Next to him is Laipin, the No. [-] king of martial arts.

Zhu Youjian broke up all 82 Wu Jinshi and incorporated them into the Yongwei Battalion. Zhu Kezhen, Wang Laipin, and Xu Yanqi were respectively appointed as Zhou Yuji's deputy. Thousands of households and hundreds of households directly participated in the battle and learned to command on the battlefield.

"Fuck! Here we come! General Sun, do you want to shoot?" Even on the battlefield, Wang Laipin never changed his talkative nature.

After hearing his words, Sun Yingyuan's face was blackened, and his nervousness eased a lot.

Sun Yingyuan ignored him, still staring at the enemy in front, silently assessing the range.Ten steps, eight steps, five steps, here it is!

"shoot!"

With Sun Yingyuan's roar, the first row of Musketeers who had already loaded their ammunition pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

The Liao light infantry rushing to the front fell down, but the people behind did not dare to stop and rushed forward instead.

The Musketeers of the first row of the Brave Guard Battalion retreated quickly after finishing shooting, and the second row stepped forward to become the first row, raising their guns and shooting.

Then came the third row, the fourth row, and the fifth row.

The artillery at the top of the city also fired, not many, only six.But as long as it hits the crowd, it can easily take away a dozen casualties.

Huang Taiji in the distance felt that something was wrong, he didn't care about the artillery, and the artillery would definitely stop when he rushed to the front.But the lethality of this team of black-armored musketeers was too great, and the firing speed was obviously several times faster than what they had seen before.

After a while, his frown relaxed again.

Compared with the first round, the firepower was significantly weakened.

Something went wrong with the musketeers.

The first shot was okay, all pre-loaded ammunition.But during the second shot, some soldiers were too nervous, and the speed of reloading dropped greatly, and some soldiers even couldn't load the bullets with trembling hands!
For a while, the sound of gunfire was a little bit of Sheila, and at least half of the soldiers failed to fire.

Zhu Youjian, who was standing on the city wall, frowned.

Sun Yingyuan was shocked when he saw this!It will collapse if this continues!

"Calm down, old man! Afraid of a bird!? It's the same as usual training! Don't be afraid! The enemy rushes up and I'm standing in front of you! If you want to die, I will die first!"

"Yes! I'm here too. I'm second in the current military rankings! I have a lot of money! I'm not afraid of death, but you are afraid of me!" Wang Laipin also yelled, but his face was smiling, showing a hint of nervousness.

Sun Yingyuan really wanted to punch this idiot in the face!It's a war, why don't you show off your wealth! ?

I don't know whether it was Sun Yingyuan's words that had an effect, or Wang Laipin's flaunting his wealth that stabilized the morale of the army.

The rhythm of the musketeers began to improve, and fewer and fewer people made mistakes.

An arquebus can only fire one bullet per minute, but a flintlock can fire three bullets per minute.After long-term training, the Yongwei Battalion can do four rounds.

Such efficient shooting made the charging Liao people suffer a lot.

They started to back off, and their pace slowed down.But being forced by the supervising team could only charge forward, because there were heavy armored infantry from the Eight Banners behind.

Finally, after paying more than 2000 casualties, the Liao infantry finally rushed forward.

They excitedly raised their knives and turned over the horse, ready to kill.

Based on their past combat experience, the Musketeers at this time are undoubtedly lambs to be slaughtered.

But soon they discovered that they were wrong.

The lamb to be slaughtered has changed its formation and retreated to the rear.In the front are infantrymen in black armor and holding black shields.

The Liao people, who thought they would be able to give full play to their advantages in close combat, were once again confused.

Can't beat it!
Slashing your opponent's armor with your own knife is like massaging, and you will be seriously injured if the opponent stabs you with a backhand.

What was even more frightening was that the musketeers who retreated to the rear drew up the bows on their backs and began to throw.

After two rounds of arrow rain, more than 1000 Liao people were killed.

But the Yongwei Battalion didn't even have a gap.

The general of the Liao people decisively gave the order to retreat.

This battle is impossible to fight, even the Liao people can't die like this meaninglessly.

At this time, Huang Taiji also saw the problem, these ten thousand black armored soldiers were not easy people.He decisively changed his strategy, and ordered Duduo and Dorgon's [-]-banner heavy armored infantry to charge forward. Mang Gurtai led the Zhenglan Banner to attack the Ming army's left wing, and Amin led the Xianglan Banner to attack the Ming army's right wing.

After the banners took orders, they attacked the Ming army again.

Zhou Yuji, who had been watching the movement of the Jiannu cavalry for a long time, knew that it was time for him to play, and the cavalry under him immediately divided into two teams.He received [-] yuan, Zhu Kezhen received [-] yuan, and each went up to the cavalry of Mangurtai and Amin.

Amin looked at the opponent's more than 1000 black armored cavalry and dared to attack him. With a sarcastic smile on his face, he accelerated his horse speed.After a while, he saw that the cavalry raised their hands one after another, holding a musket that was obviously much shorter.

砰

After a burst of gunpowder smoke, the Eight Banners soldiers around them fell off their horses one after another.

Amin was confused, why did the cavalry's guns shoot so far?
No one answered his question, because the team of cavalry led by Zhu Kezhen had no intention of approaching at all, and kept riding and firing guns, roaring past.

Amin's formation with blue flags was so dense that Zhu Kezhen and others didn't even need to take aim.

Every time a gunshot was fired, at least two to three hundred and eighty-eight banner cavalrymen were taken away.
