The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 60 Defeated
Seeing the collapse of the Ming army, Feng Junrui also breathed a sigh of relief.

He dispatched more than a hundred cavalry to continue to drive away the defeated army, and led the large cavalry back to the main formation, when he saw a group of men and horses in dark green clothes on the north side, approaching in a neat queue.

Feng Junrui had previously looked down on Wanji's ability to command the troops, and he defeated the Ming army brigade just a few rounds of charges, and now he has contempt for the Ming army.

After he adjusted the formation, he could already see that the Ming army was only about a battalion, and they formed a thin long snake formation, which made him even more amused.I just feel that it is very wise for me to vote for the master of the Manchus. With the military capabilities displayed by the Ming army today, it may be a matter of time before the country is destroyed.

When the Ming army reached a distance of about seventy steps, he ordered to release the guns. For this kind of thin long snake formation, it only needs two rows of guns to be fired and then a sudden charge can easily defeat it.

Suddenly there was a loud noise, and the flames jumped.But the Ming army on the opposite side, as if they didn't hear or see, still followed the drumbeat step by step, and the queue kept approaching in an orderly manner.

When the distance between the two armies was only [-] paces, the Qing army had already fired two rounds of guns, but the Ming army seemed to be besieged.

That is to say, they don't fire guns to fight back, nor charge to fight hand-to-hand, but just keep moving forward.

Feng Junrui was a little funny, did this Ming army come to die?
In fact, the Qing army only had a total of more than 400 musketeers, and using three rows of bursts, less than [-] people fired guns each time.This kind of sparse firepower density and the lack of power of the three-coin guns they used pose little threat to the infantry in cotton armor of the Dragon Guards.Many soldiers were simply knocked down by the impact of the buckshot, but not injured.

Before Feng Junrui could finish his thought, the sound of drums on the opposite side suddenly stopped.

Immediately, he heard all the Ming soldiers shouting together: "Aim!"

Thousands of soldiers in the long snake formation raised their firecrackers very neatly.

The gunmen on Feng Junrui's side watched this novel scene and forgot to even fire the guns.

The next moment, dense and dazzling flames erupted from the Ming army. Accompanied by a deafening roar, the Qing army seemed to be hit hard by an invisible heavy fist. Almost all the soldiers in the front row of the entire formation flew upside down and landed heavily. It hit the gunners in the back row.

The Qing army's position was quiet for a second, and then the shrill screams sounded almost at the same time.In one volley, more than 500 rounds of six-and-a-half-dollar lead bullets took away more than half of the Qing army's rattan players in an instant, causing more than [-] casualties!
Feng Junrui was startled, and hurriedly ordered the gunner to fight back.

But his musketeers were still blowing the matchlock tremblingly, and the Ming army shouted in unison from the opposite side, "Aim!"

Feng Junrui was almost stunned. The fierce firepower just now should definitely be a salvo from the whole army.

But how could the interval between two salvos be so short? !Is it taking turns to fire guns?How could it be possible to have such a strong firepower by taking turns firing guns?

He fell into an endless loop of thinking for a while.Of course, it is impossible for anyone to explain to him how the flintlock plus fixed ammunition is going on.

Until the roar of the flintlock awakened Feng Junrui.

Without the cover of the rattan players, the Qing army's musketeers lost even more this time, and more than 400 people fell to the ground.

He looked up and saw that the Ming army had only fired two volleys, and his defense line had completely collapsed.

Among the countless corpses, there are still many soldiers who were shot and survived howling and rolling in pain.

The musketeers who had been shooting in formation fled back desperately, but the war supervisor even cut down a few people to no avail, and the soldiers had already fled behind him, the general.

"My lord, the Ming army is full of musketeers, why not attack them with cavalry directly!"

The words of an officer beside him awakened Feng Junrui.

He coiled the braids behind his head around his neck, gritted his teeth and ordered all the cavalry to gather and form formation behind the infantry.

Song Chao was like dreaming, his whole body couldn't help shaking with excitement.

Fortunately, I have practiced various combat skills into conditioned reflexes on weekdays, so there is nothing wrong.He subconsciously loaded the ammunition with both hands, when he heard the commander order, "Defend against the cavalry!"

He immediately followed up and shouted, "Defensive cavalry!" Suddenly, a memory of fear flooded into his mind - a fierce battle in Chunhua, the bald cavalry with the rattail twitching behind his head, pierced him with a single shot The three robed Ze, the blood spurted two feet away...

The person next to him touched his arm lightly, and then he reacted, and hurriedly pointed the bayonet upward.

Just a gust of wind blew by, taking away most of the gunpowder smoke covering the battlefield.

Song Chao looked at the large piece of bloody Qing army corpses in front of him in surprise, his eyes gradually widened - just now he only fired two guns, and he killed so many Jianlu!It turns out that the power of the formation salvo that I practice every day is so terrifying!
But then a group of Qing cavalrymen rushed forward, howling, wielding sabers and three-eyed guns.

Feng Junrui had just rushed out a hundred steps, and before he could accelerate, he saw a group of Dragon Guard cavalry in shining armor lined up in a neat herringbone charge formation and attacked the Qing army cavalry.

He panicked for a while, and hurriedly ordered his men to turn around and keep the horse's head facing the Ming cavalry.He could see that this team of cavalry should not have as many people as his own, and he had to desperately defeat the opponent's cavalry in order to save the defeat.

Zhu Jiadi pointed forward with the cavalry sword in his hand, and ordered loudly: "Go forward!"

"charge!"

Just as Feng Junrui turned his horse's head around, a cavalryman wrapped in steel armor from the waist up rushed forward with his sword.

Feng Junrui also came from the edge of the knife, he shrank back to avoid the long sword, and swung the saber in his hand upwards.But just hearing a sound, he felt that the blade didn't exert any strength at all, and it slid aside against the opponent's steel armor.

Feng Junrui turned pale with shock, pulled his horse and fled in the direction of Shuangchenhe.

Song Chao stared blankly at the hundreds of heavy cavalry of the Dragon Guards, passing through the cavalry of the Qing army as if they were cutting tofu, causing bloody sprays along the way.

The hussars who followed the heavy cavalry held short guns and galloped through the gap of the Qing army. After shooting, they threw away the guns and drew their swords to continue slashing.

There were still dozens of cavalry cavalry of the Qing army rushing towards Song Chao in a panic.

He straightened his back vigorously, and said to himself: "Those guys in steel armor in the cavalry battalion are afraid of bayonets, it's okay, it's okay..."

The Qing soldiers with sabers in front of them and slender braids behind their heads rushed over ten steps in front of him in an instant, but they were all stopped by the shiny bayonets, so they had to steer their horses to run sideways, but there were many bayonets along the way. , There is no gap to break in at all.

Soon, Song Chao heard his company commander order, "Aim at the enemy's scattered cavalry!"

"put!"

After the sound of the blunderbuss, Song Chao was sure that he had hit one. When the Jiannu turned over and fell off his horse, a long and slender braid was straight up to the sky.

At that moment, the nightmare brought to him by Chunhua's Jianlu cavalry was completely turned into ashes and never appeared again.

Under the joint attack of the cavalry and infantry of the Dragon Guards, Feng Junrui's cavalry quickly collapsed completely. In fact, Feng Guerai had already fled into Shuangchen River on horseback before this.

The infantrymen of the Dragon Guard heard the order, "Forward!"

The line array moved forward more than ten steps as a whole.

"aim!"

"put!"

"go ahead!"

Like an impenetrable human wall, after firing the gun once, he will move forward more than ten steps, and then shoot again.

The Dragon Guard cavalry patrolled on both sides and drove back the Qing army who were about to flee along the river.

Soon, the Qing army was squeezed out of Shuangchen River under the terrifying shooting of flintlocks.Those who were shot, stabbed, and drowned all at once were countless.

Zhu Linmei put away the binoculars and nodded. He was quite satisfied with Long Weijun's debut.The firepower that surpassed the Qing army by several orders of magnitude quickly defeated the enemy, and the Dragon Guards suffered almost no losses.The victory in the first battle is of great benefit to the confidence of the Dragon Guards.

But Chen Xiongfei on the side was a little dejected. As soon as his artillery arrived, he saw the scene of the Qing army "making dumplings". The only blame was that the infantry and cavalry were too fierce, and they didn't even give him a chance to show off.

Suddenly, a hussar galloped over and shouted: "Report! There is a large Qing army attacking from the east. The distance is three and a half miles, and the number is [-] to [-]!"

Chen Xiongfei immediately laughed when he heard the words.
