Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 201 Defeating the White Armored Soldier

It was dusk at that time, and seeing that the sun was about to set, Duoduo was deeply afraid that Zhu Youjian would escape from Kaifeng immediately after sunset, so he couldn't care less about thinking that if the white armor soldiers under his command advanced another fifty steps at this time, Will it be closer to the range of the Ming army's firearms attacking the city?

Zhu Youjian smiled slyly at this moment, what he wanted was this result, by ordering Gao Hongtu, who was wearing a dragon robe, to make a gesture of leaving the closed city tower, so as to achieve Duduo's desire to get rid of the Ming emperor and lose his mind Purpose.

Seeing these brave cavalry of the Qing army coming on horseback, and skillfully bending their bows and setting arrows on the galloping horses, Zhu Youjian knew that his chance to defend the city had come.

Therefore, he couldn't help but lowered his body and leaned against the outer battlements, and asked Lu Daqi, the governor of Henan, who was at the same side:
"In order to get rid of me right now, the Tartars will take the risk to advance a certain distance before attacking before all the cannons in red are brought in, and then shoot heavy arrows to attack. At that time, the officials and the people can take advantage of this to wipe out the enemy and dampen part of the enemy's spirit. It can be regarded as the only effort I can make for you when I come to Kaifeng City."

Lu Daqi poked his head out to look, and said to Zhu Youjian with some helplessness: "But Your Majesty, the Tartars stopped after advancing fifty steps, and kept moving. The range of our army's firearms is limited. At this distance, Even if you hit the Tartars, it is difficult to break through the heavy armor of the Tartars. At first glance, these Tartar cavalry are all white-armored soldiers. They are the elite of the elite Tartars. Its range is much higher than that of my firearms, even though it is fired upwards, it may not be a little short."

As soon as Lu Daqi finished speaking, there was a huh, and a Jinyi Weiti riding beside Gao Hongtu was hit by an arrow, and even brought the whole person down to the ground directly due to the zone of inertia, and a lot of blood flowed from his chest.

Immediately afterwards, heavy arrows roared non-stop, and focused on the place where Gao Hongtu was standing.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!" Lu Daqi instinctively hugged Zhu Youjian under his body at this time, fearing that a heavy arrow would hit Zhu Youjian, but Zhu Youjian directly pushed Lu Daqi away: "Send a few shields to guard the body. I live in Gaoge Lao, I don’t need to worry about it here.”

After talking, Zhu Youjian came to Xia Yunyi's place: "Can the muskets of the Guards hit these so-called Tartar White Armored Soldiers?"

As soon as Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he saw that a heavy arrow happened to be nailed to the battlement beside him.

Zhu Youjian couldn't help being covered in cold sweat, so he had to bury his head even lower, and the Jin Yiwei on the side also breathed a sigh of relief, and almost flew out to block Zhu Youjian's arrows, otherwise he would either be hit by the arrow or fall into the moat.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the range of the flintlock gun is now within reach!"

Xia Yunyi nodded, and first fired a shot at a white-armored soldier. The flintlock guns of 6000 men immediately formed a dense firepower network. The heavy armor of the white armor went away.

These white-armored soldiers are the elite of the Qing army's elite, and there are no more than a dozen or at most dozens of them in a Niulu, and they are all Ba Yala who have killed countless enemies.

In the battles between Daming and Jiannu in the past, it was very difficult to kill a white armored soldier.

It is not only because these white armored soldiers are good at fighting, but also because they are all personal guards of the Aixinjueluo family of the Qing army, so naturally they will not fight easily.

Now it is only because Zhu Youjian is here as the bait of the Ming emperor that Duoduo took the risk to rely on his most elite white armor soldiers to get rid of the Ming emperor Zhu Youjian with heavy arrows.

Of course, although Doduo is taking risks, he is not without consideration. He thought that the combat power of the white armored soldiers would be enough to kill the Ming army on the city wall after advancing fifty steps. From time to time, some of them will shoot at this distance, but basically the damage is not great when shooting at this distance, and my white armor soldiers are all heavily armored, so it is difficult for bullets to penetrate armor at this distance.

What's more, these white armored soldiers are still riding and shooting, and the target is moving at any time, so Doduo believes that even if they push fifty steps, the Ming army still cannot form a blow to the white armored soldiers under their command.

The white-armored soldiers were also confident because of this. They screamed and shot arrows with great precision. The arrows and arrows could almost hit the battlements. They even harvested the lives of some Ming soldiers. Even Jin Yiwei fell to the ground several times. .

Suo Zhaonai is one of the white-armored soldiers here. He just shot an arrow and almost hit the Emperor Ming who was wearing a dragon robe and took away the battlements. His confidence was boosted for a moment, and he took out the arrow again while controlling the horse's running speed. Three arrows, ready to shoot three arrows.

But at this time, he saw a sound like crackling fried beans coming from the city wall, and then white smoke came out one after another.

Just when Suo Zhao thought it was the Ming army who was frightened and shot indiscriminately without thinking that he would not be hurt at this time, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. Blood gushed out of the heavy armor.

It was only then that Suo Zhao realized that he had been shot and was about to die. He couldn't help feeling a panic, and couldn't help but think of the days when he rode a horse for the first time when he was young. Then he closed his eyes and fell off the horse. The three arrows in his hand fell to the ground.

Like Suo Zhao, many other white-armored soldiers also started to be shot, and they were both surprised and surprised by this.

An infantry battalion A of the Guards has an establishment of 6000 people.

Among the 6000 people, everyone is carefully selected infantry who has undergone rigorous training. They all have extremely proficient operating skills in Chongzhen 60-style flintlock guns, otherwise they would not have been selected into the Type A battalion. And they are all selected from the [-] million applicants with a high elimination rate, and coupled with the improvement of the guards' logistics system, the meat can keep up, so that even if it is dusk and the sky is dark, the guards The army can still effectively shoot these white armored soldiers accurately.

In addition, although the smoke formed by the burning of pyrotechnic powder will affect the shooting accuracy, but because it is condescending to shoot, the white smoke will naturally fall due to the effect of gravity. The resulting interference is not great.

Almost all of the hundred white-armored soldiers led by Tulai were shot, and only a dozen or so quickly retreated with Tulai.

After all, it is a dense firepower network formed by 6000 people, which is enough to cover the side of Kaifeng City where Zhu Youjian is located. Coupled with the continuous shooting of flintlock guns, the improvement of gunpowder technology, and the well-trained guards Fighting by His Majesty's side, the enthusiasm is high, and with the support of the city wall, no matter how brave these white armored cavalry are, they will naturally only have to be defeated in the face of the attack of the First Type Firearms Battalion of the Guards, let alone them. I didn't realize that the firearms of the guards were sharper than they thought.

Duoduo's face turned the color of a pig's liver, and he was naturally very heartbroken. Since leaving Shanhaiguan, he had never killed a single white armored soldier under his command, but now he directly lost more than 80 soldiers under Kaifeng city!
