Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 399 Trap
The dense Chongzhen [-]-style flintlock bullets caught Wu Sangui's Qing Army Firearms Battalion off guard.

The officers and soldiers of the Qing Army's Firearms Battalion did not expect to be shot by the firearms of the Guards at a distance of two hundred steps.

Wu Sangui was also shocked.

At this time, chaos had already appeared in the first row of the Qing army's firearms battalion. Because too many bullets were shot, some Qing soldiers ran back without thinking, and some of them could still consciously fire a shot, but the shots they fired The bullets only landed within fifty paces of the First Infantry Battalion A of the Guards, and they were unharmed to the Guards.

At this time, Wu Sangui's supervising team rushed to chop the Qing army of the firearms battalion who was trying to escape.

The firearms soldiers of the Qing army had to retreat again, but they did not dare to move forward. Seeing the wailing Qing soldiers on the ground, they all panicked, and dared not take a step forward anyway.

Wu Sangui winked, and the Qing army of the supervising team directly shot and killed all the wounded Qing soldiers who were mourning on the ground, so that the entire Qing army camp became quiet.

And Wu Sangui's face sank like water, he didn't expect that the guards' muskets had reached such a range.

"Send the order, the cavalry attack, disrupt the enemy's formation, and then the firearms continue to move forward!"

Wu Sangui gave an order.

at that time.

The drums sounded, and the messengers of the Qing army rushed towards the cavalry, waving colorful flags.

The cavalry of the Qing army immediately rode their horses and swung their whips towards the left and right wings of the defensive position of the First Corps of the Third Army of the Guards.

These cavalrymen of the Qing army were all the elite commanders of the Liao soldiers in the past. They had the shadow of the Guanning iron cavalry in the past. But the sound of howling is very similar to wild boar skin.

These fine cavalry under Wu Sangui's command were the army that Da Ming used to smash three rings back then. They spent a lot of money and were equipped with the best equipment at that time. However, such an army did not save the Han family in the year of Jiashen, but now they are willing He has become a running dog of the Tartars, and now he has no sense of guilt when facing his compatriots, all of them seem to be cannibalistic.

These Qing army cavalry are very experienced, and they know that the guards must have set up a lot of roadblocks, and they also know how to avoid firearms, so one by one cunningly gallops across the snow, firing cold arrows and three-eyed guns from time to time to test the enemy's situation ahead. .

After seeing that there were only traces and holes in front of the vast snow that seemed to have not been touched, these cavalry slowly gathered together, and began to come boldly and confidently.

Squeak!
There was the crisp sound of wooden bars breaking, and a Qing army cavalry fell into the horse pit instantly after sitting down on his horse.

Puff!
The sharp wooden tip directly pierced the horse's belly, and even the Qing cavalry on the horse were also chained up.

The blood immediately sprinkled on the snow-covered ground, and the snow particles splashed, stirring up a snow-colored fog.

The same scene was also played out on other cavalry. Countless Qing cavalry almost entered the horse pit.

The First Corps of the Third Army of the Guards came all the way without bringing more defensive equipment, not even more food, in order to easily and quickly occupy important areas, but now they still use local materials to stop the Qing army The best way is to use the nearby shrubs and sharp stones and the white snow all over the ground to make a horse trap.

The Qing cavalry who rushed to the front fell into the horse trap.

And the Qing army who followed closely behind was also tripped and flew out because they couldn't stop, and fell heavily to the ground with their men and horses.

However, the Qing army cavalry behind still shifted direction and leaped forward, trying to cross the horse pit and enter the trench of the First Guards First Infantry Battalion A.

However, at this time, the First Infantry Battalion A of the Guards had already been commanded by Mao Lifu, the commander, and Zhang Zhiwu, the commander, each with two infantry from the two associations, that is, two thousand infantry. The gun starts firing.

"Injury does not kill, shoot the horse first! Shoot the legs, feet, shoulders and abdomen!"

The junior Guards officer of the [-]st Infantry A Battalion shouted.

The soldiers' flintlock guns unknowingly obeyed the officer's instructions and shot down the Qing cavalry and war horses who insisted on charging to the ground one by one.

At that time, the war horse screamed like tearing apart, and the cavalry also howled, desperately dragging their bloody legs to crawl back.

Wang Fuzhi took the remaining [-] infantry and continued to defend the firearms battalion under Wu Sangui's command.

When shooting for the first time, in order to shock the Qing army's firearms battalion, he did not let the officers and soldiers shoot.

Although it is said that shooting at the enemy's legs and feet can increase the enemy's wounded and increase the burden on the enemy. After all, adding a wounded requires several soldiers to take care of it, which can effectively reduce the enemy's combat power, but the first shot is accurate to the officers and soldiers. The accuracy requirements are high and once the shooting starts, the enemy camp will definitely be chaotic. Accurate shooting will reduce the number of people shot and thus reduce the deterrent effect on the enemy.

Therefore, the first shot of the First Infantry A Battalion of the Guards was intensive firepower shooting, and they did not pay so much attention to the first time to kill the enemy as much as possible.

However, when Wu Sangui ordered the Firearms Battalion to move forward again, the First Type A Battalion of the Guards Infantry did not focus on using intensive firepower to deal with it. Instead, they spread out [-] infantry to try to increase the control surface of the infantry.

Wu Sangui also saw that when his cavalry participated in the charge, the infantry in front of the Guards was significantly reduced. In order to reduce the casualties of the Firearms Battalion, he spread out all the [-] infantry under his command to form a larger attack facing the Guards. Come forward.

The infantrymen of the Guards began to shoot according to Wang Fuzhi's order. They crawled in the trench and used the three-point line sight on the Chongzhen [-]-style flintlock gun to pickily shoot down the grassroots officers and veterans among the [-] infantry of the Qing army. on the ground.

Once these low-level officers and veterans were shot to the ground, their soldiers and comrades-in-arms could not be ignored, and these people were also the backbone of the Qing army. Mass killing of these low-level officers and veterans could destroy the fighting will of the Qing army faster.

The Qing army's junior officers and veterans fell to the ground one by one. Within a distance of 150 to [-] paces, the entire Qing army camp slowed down from time to time, because there were always wounded being carried out.

Of course, the Qing army also had its own countermeasures. Veterans and officers all retreated behind the recruits, and let the recruits walk in front, acting as human shields.

However, the guards had already expected this.

The guards didn't know if the Qing army had alloy steel shields made by Ming Dynasty, but they also had to be prepared for the Qing army's shields to resist bullets.

Therefore, the First Corps of the Third Army of the Guards set up several bunker fences and ravines made of wooden piles in the area of ​​​​two hundred paces.

But the guards did not expect that the Qing army did not carry shields. Perhaps the Qing army already knew that ordinary shields could not block the flintlock lead bullets, so they did not use shields to protect themselves in front.

However, now that the Qing army uses new recruits as human shields, it makes the fences and ravines of the guards' bunkers play a role.

As soon as they encountered the fence in front, the recruits of the Qing army had to lift their feet, and the veterans and junior officers behind them also had to lift their feet.

As soon as they lifted their feet, the infantry of the Guards immediately seized the opportunity to injure the veterans and junior officers behind them.

The recruits in the front were frightened by the interference of the wailing of the veterans behind, and accidentally fell into the tunnel dug next to the fence.

There are also wooden stakes and sharp stones in the tunnels. The Qing Dynasty was poor, and many recruits did not even have cotton armor. The flesh collided with the wooden stakes and stone tips, which was naturally the same as a sharp knife stabbing the abdomen. Worse than veterans.
