My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 146 Why can’t we take the initiative?
After the fall of Tongguan, Tuotuo Buhua learned the number of casualties on his side. In anger, he not only ordered Tongguan to be looted, but also sent a large team of troops to ruthlessly sweep around Tongguan.

Although they had been expelled from the Central Plains by Daxia for more than seventy years, the Mongols still habitually regarded the Han people in the Central Plains as the fourth class of people, so they showed no mercy in killing people. In just a few days, countless villages were destroyed. Disaster.

Wherever the Mongolian Tatars went, they wailed everywhere, countless villages were burned down, and people were slaughtered, but what Feng Ziying and others saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

Under Feng Ziying's command, dozens of dismounted cavalry quietly surrounded the unsuspecting Mongolian soldiers.

Even firearms are the future. Jia Yu not only organized five thousand musketeers, but also assigned muskets to Feng Ziying's cavalry unit, reaching one man per man.

The musketeers, who had already loaded their explosives outside, stopped only after reaching a distance of 80 to [-] meters from the Mongolian soldiers.

The soldiers silently adjusted their guns and waited with bated breath for instructions.

As a sharp and deafening swan whistle sounded, the soldiers pulled the triggers simultaneously.

In an instant, gunpowder smoke filled the sky.

When gunpowder explodes, it makes a sharp and piercing sound that makes people feel nervous.

Unprepared, the Mongolian soldiers who were chatting and laughing around the campfire were instantly beaten to pieces by a sudden attack.

The flying lead bullets poured down like raindrops, leaving shining trails in the sky.

The lead bullets pierced the air one after another, making a dull impact when they hit the target, tearing apart the simple leather armor of the Mongolian soldiers.

Because of the close range, the volley was precise and powerful.

Most of the Mongolian soldiers were instantly knocked to the ground by powerful lead bullets, and their corpses were scattered everywhere.

When the smoke from the muskets was blown away by the wind, Feng Ziying and the surrounding soldiers saw the corpses of the Mongolian soldiers who had been sitting around the campfire scattered on the ground, like broken puppets that had been beaten with flesh and blood by a round of volleys.

Black-red blood continued to gush out from the wounds of the corpses and the wounded, gathering into small depressions. The wounded were rolling on the ground in pain.

After the smoke passed, Feng Ziying was surprised to find that there were still seven or eight Mongolian soldiers standing stubbornly at the edge of the bonfire, their bodies stained with blood, but they still struggled to stay standing.

They were stunned for a while, then roared like wild beasts and rushed towards Feng Ziying and others.

At this time, the benefits of fixed ammunition are reflected.

Before the advent of fixed-loading ammunition, the loading methods of countries around the world were similar.

After the musketeer finishes shooting, it will take at least 40 seconds or even a minute to reload the ammunition.

With paper fixed ammunition, the musketeer only needs to take out a loaded ammunition from the ammunition bag, bite off the paper bag at one end, pour a little gunpowder into the gunpowder pool, and then close it. .

Then stuff the remaining paper ammunition and gunpowder belt warheads into the barrel of the gun, then use the rod and pestle twice, then lay the gun flat and remove the hammer, and then you can shoot. The whole process only takes more than ten seconds.

The cavalrymen had already reloaded their muskets with ammunition while the Mongolian soldiers were in a daze. After the remaining Mongolian soldiers rushed towards them with ferocious faces and waving scimitars, they all pulled the triggers.

As the flintlock gun sounded, white gunpowder smoke emerged from the muzzle, forming a cold and blurry scene in the sunset.

Dozens of lead bullets converged into a deadly stream, whizzing through the air.

Under the fire of dozens of people, the bodies of these seven or eight Mongolian soldiers were like fragile bamboo shoots, and the simple leather armor on their bodies could not withstand the power of lead bullets.

Each lead bullet hit their bodies, causing a painful groan.The bonfire still emitted light and heat stubbornly, illuminating the bodies of the Mongolian soldiers lying on the ground particularly clearly.

After a .[-]-caliber lead bullet hits the human body, the huge kinetic energy will drive the lead bullet to rush through the human body. During the impact process, the soft lead bullet will also change into various shapes, causing huge damage to the human body. .

There was blood gushing out from the corpses next to the bonfire, seeping into the land and watering the weeds on the ground. Perhaps the land here would be more fertile in the coming year.

After waiting for a while, when no one stood up, Feng Ziying waved her hand, and dozens of people slowly stood up and walked towards the bonfire.

After a search, 36 corpses and six injured people were found.

Feng Ziying ordered the four seriously injured Mongolian soldiers to be killed, and the remaining two Mongolian soldiers with less serious injuries were dragged to a different place and began to interrogate them.

The results of the interrogation were soon available. Feng Ziying compared the results and found that there were no discrepancies. She took out a pen and paper, wrote down the results of the interrogation, and then sent someone to send them back.

…………

"Hey, what's going on with Tuotuo Buhua? After occupying Tongguan, he didn't attack Shenjing while Daxia didn't react. Instead, he plundered and slaughtered near Tongguan and Xuanda. Isn't he afraid of Daxia's various forces? Will reinforcements arrive and surround him?"

After receiving the news, Jia Yu was very puzzled by Tuo Tuo Bu Hua's approach after seeing the information sent by Feng Ziying.

He called Wu Yunchun, Xie Youyuan and others and handed everyone the intelligence they had just received.

Everyone was very puzzled after seeing it. Wu Yunchun really couldn't figure it out: "Sir, what do the Mongolian Tatars mean? Do they really want to stay in Tongguan and not leave?"

Xie Youyuan's idea was much simpler, "No matter what the Mongolian Tatars think, if they want to stay in Tongguan and not move, that's their business, we will guard here.

It would be best to wait until the soldiers and horses of Qinwang from all over the country gather in Shenjing. At least we don't have to fight the Tatars. "

Jia Yu glanced at Xie Youyuan: "Old Xie, this is not like your style. I remember that you were the fastest when we played Erlong Mountain last time. Why don't you rush now?"

Xie Youyuan scratched his head: "I, Lao Xie, can fight, but I'm not stupid.

There are a hundred thousand Mongolian Tatars. Even if the battle has killed and wounded 7 or [-] people, the remaining [-] horses are not something we can chew. "

"Hahaha..." Jia Yu and the generals next to him all laughed.

After just laughing, Jia Yu said to everyone: "I know that you don't want to fight with the Mongolian Tatars. After all, there are many Tatars.

But have you ever thought about it, there are many Tatars, but the five thousand muskets we brought out are not vegetarian.

Why can't we defeat those Tatars with our musketeers? "

"This one……"

Jia Yu's words made Wu Yunchun, Xie Youyuan and others hesitate.

Although everyone has conducted countless shooting trainings on the school grounds and simulated musket tactics many times, from ancient times to the present, actual combat is the only criterion for testing truth.

If you haven't experienced actual combat, no matter how well you practice on the school field, it won't count.
