The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 147 The Song of Gunpowder (1)

The result of the battle was astonishing. The Black Tiger Army slightly injured more than ten people, wiped out more than [-] green battalion soldiers, and scared away thousands of green battalion soldiers. Jiang Tao knew that a large part of it was due to the explosion of fire and thunder. More than a hundred flowering bombs exploded at the same time, and gathered in a very small range.

He was even more confident. Although the dispatch of troops was extremely hasty this time, he finally let out a breath of anger. After all, he had been besieged by the Manchu Tartars for half a year, and it was time to settle the score.

Except for the tiger and leopard cavalry and the logistics battalion, he ordered all the other troops to move into Shizhai, where they were burying pots and making food. He didn't want to visit the horses and reported back: "There are more than [-] green battalion soldiers coming here, only twenty miles away!"

Jiang Tao's heart tightened, but in order to boost morale, he didn't dare to show worry, instead he laughed loudly: "Well done, soldiers, the Green Battalion soldiers are here to die again, let them live a little longer, and wait for half a meal We're full, let's kill again."

The officers and men of the Black Tiger Army, who were a little nervous at first, felt a lot more relaxed. Thinking of the battle just now, the commanders and lieutenants became more eager to fight.

Jiang Tao wondered why the green battalion soldiers came so quickly, but he had already made a decision to go out to meet the enemy, and he wanted to try the newly practiced formation.

.....................

Mingzhu was leading an army to attack Lu'an City, but she didn't expect thousands of green battalions to break out from the direction of the sky. When she asked, she was really terrified. There were five thousand green battalions occupying the ground, but they couldn't stop the bandits for half a day. an hour!It's so incompetent!

If he released the main force of the Black Tiger Army, he would not be able to explain to Long Live Lord.

He stared at the distraught President Wu, furious in his heart, waved his hands in boredom, and said ferociously: "Pull it down and behead it, and behead all the generals of the defeated army with more than a thousand generals!"

The generals under his command couldn't help trembling, they all lowered their heads, not daring to intercede!

Mingzhu withdrew her trembling right hand, not because she was afraid of the bandits, but because she was afraid of the enraged emperor. At this time, he gathered more than [-] green battalion soldiers, most of them were fresh recruits, plus thousands of deserters, the total The strength of the army has reached more than [-], but at this time, it has been strategically attacked by the bandit army. After all, Lu'an Prefecture is only tens of miles away from Yixiantian, so it suddenly occurred to him: "Maybe it is the leader of the Black Tiger Army who came, Well done, capture the thief first and capture the king first, as long as the leader of the thief is captured, my Mingzhu can return to Long Live Lord again."

Thinking of the fascinating power center, thinking of returning to the resplendent Forbidden City, Mingzhu almost burst into tears, and thought: "For two days in a row, Liu'an Prefecture was attacked hard. Go straight to Huanglong and raise my reputation as a pearl!"

"Hahaha, all the generals listened to the order. Governor Wang led 8000 people to besiege the city. As long as the bandit army is not allowed to leave the city, it will be a great achievement. The rest of the soldiers and this imperial envoy will set off immediately. They must capture and kill the leader of the Black Tiger Army bandit. To be promoted to rank!"

Mingzhu's hearty laughter came, the morale of the generals increased greatly, and tens of thousands of people pressed towards the sky like a dark cloud.

When they came close, they saw the black tiger bandit army lined up with their backs, only less than 4000 people, black clothes and black armor, like a forest of swords and guns, and a small number of white clothes soldiers, what is the name?
Riding on the tall horse, Mingzhu nodded and commented, and sighed secretly: "It's really unusual, it seems that the Black Tiger Army in Lu'an City are just a group of beggars."

"Hmph, but the bandits look down on me too much, and they just want to make waves with just this little army, hehe!"

Mingzhu snorted dissatisfied, and shouted darkly: "The cavalry charge forward, the whole army presses down, and those who retreat will be punished without mercy!"

"Kill!"

The roar of tens of thousands of people is really not small. Jiang Tao looked at the thousands of cavalry galloping in front of him, and his heart became nervous. However, as long as the enemy cavalry is eliminated, no matter how many people come, they will not be able to break through the large formation he has practiced. All the soldiers of the Black Tiger Army are full of confidence in their hearts.

At this time, the Black Tiger Army has spent all its capital, and more than 30 tiger squatting cannons and ten continuous firecrackers are listed in the front, followed by the Bloody Guards and Black Tiger Guards, and all the fire and thunder are handed over to the front row This time, each of the Black Tiger Guards was equipped with five javelins. They all lined up in a long line of more than 300 people, squatting halfway, in order to make room for the sharp spear guards, followed by more than 1300 firearms. Gunners, line up in four rows.

At the end is the Archer Battalion and the Military Judiciary, and the Archer Battalion is also lined up in three rows. The one in white is the Military Judiciary led by Jiang Shi, exuding a cold air.

Moreover, Jiang Tao’s choice of battle location is extremely favorable for the Black Tiger Army. There is Shizhai behind, and flat land under the feet, and the interface is only more than 200 meters away. That is to say, the Black Tiger Army only needs to fight head-on and don’t have to worry about the two wings, because there are no two wings at all. .

The enemy cavalry is close to 300 meters!
Jiang Tao ordered the sharpshooters in the front row to start firing salvos!
bang bang bang.....
There was no need to aim at all, and the Qing army immediately turned upside down, but the Qing army couldn't stop at all, and still rushed at a speed of at least 15 meters per second.

Marksmen are all carefully trained. After shooting, they install the paper shell Mininy bullets meticulously. The soldiers of the whole army stare at the front, waiting for the order of the military law, and comfort themselves one by one: "Even if you die, you must keep the bullets at home. The fields must not be ridiculed by the villagers."

Because General Heihu said: "If you lose the battle, all your family members will be executed by the Qing army, not to mention the fields and property. If you win, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. There will be no reward, and the fields and property of those who are timid will be confiscated, and this person will also be beheaded by the military justice department and ridiculed by thousands of people!"

Jiang Tao has no choice. There is no strict military law. Most of his troops are recruits. Although they have undergone rigorous training for several months, they have never seen blood after all. Facing a bloody battle, they may flee.

Fortunately, the small captains in the army have all experienced bloody battles. They lead by example, and the school lieutenants and captains mobilized to enlighten them. Although the soldiers are still very nervous, they are restrained.

Jiang Tao stared at the front, only to see that the first round of volley only killed more than a hundred enemy cavalry, but it was already very good, after all, the musketeer could not see the enemy 300 meters away clearly, but the volley could make up for these problems.

He originally wanted to dig trenches and repel horses, but he was unprepared for everything, and there was no time. He only prepared some horse ropes and traps a hundred meters in front of the formation, but within 13 seconds, the green battalion cavalry had already encountered them. The arrangement of the Black Tiger Army suddenly turned people on their backs, lost some men and horses, and the speed of the horses also dropped a little.

At this time, the sharpshooters of the Black Tiger Army had already loaded their bullets, and fired another salvo. This time, more than 150 enemy cavalry fell down.

Mingzhu stood on the high ground and looked at the entire battlefield at this time, without batting an eye at the casualties under his command, he had already made up his mind and prepared three thousand knives and axes, as long as anyone retreated, he would kill without mercy!

He doesn't believe in this evil, even if the bandit army is made of iron, he will smash this iron plate, even if he loses tens of thousands of soldiers, he will not hesitate, he is enough to stay next to this barren mountain, the old Suoetu Opponents, you must wear small shoes for yourself in front of the Holy Spirit, hum, wait!
Jiang Tao looked at the approaching cavalry and knew that the sharpshooter equipped with the Mielu gun could not wait any longer
bang bang bang.....
The third round of salvo came as scheduled, but the second row of sharpshooters was shooting, and the first row of sharpshooters was squatting to reload.

Fortunately, the cavalry of the Green Battalion who came down at this time were both surprised and happy. At this time, they were less than 40 meters away from the bandit army, and the damn gunshot had just sounded. According to the interval just now, it would take at least ten breaths before the opponent could shoot again. By that time, we have already rushed to the front of the bandit army, and finally we can torture and kill the bandit army!
With red eyes and grinning faces, they waved their knives and shouted loudly, rushing towards the bandit army like an electric charge, with only one thought in their mind: revenge!

The green battalion soldiers who followed behind were all pale, stepping on the corpses of the cavalry, some couldn't help vomiting, they were out of touch with the cavalry, and the soldiers rushing to the front were still more than two hundred away from the black tiger army meters, and they also killed or injured more than a hundred people, all caused by the terrifying range of the Mini bombs.

bang bang bang.....
bang bang bang.....
But they were greeted by continuous barrage. The Mielu gun is a large-caliber musket with an effective range of 130 meters. As long as it is hit, it will cause a walnut-sized wound, which is equivalent to entering the palace of the king of hell.

The continuous three rounds of salvos burst out within six seconds, forming a sound of death, as if they were burying the cavalry of the Green Battalion.

However, the surviving two hundred or so cavalry rushed forward, 30 meters away, and they were about to collide with the formation of the Black Tiger Army!

bang bang bang...

The sharpshooter reloaded his ammunition and fired another round.

The general who commanded the cavalry had died a long time ago. Facing the continuous shooting of the Black Tiger Army like a storm and thunderstorm, the cavalry with only a few dozen people only reacted at this time, and they could no longer grin. Retreat, but the speed of the horse has reached the extreme, how can it be retreated?

"Da da da da da da..."

Ten Lianzhu firecrackers fired 280 bullets in one breath, and the remaining dozens of cavalry watched as they were beaten into sieves.

These shooters have long been ordered: no matter who it is, as long as it is within 30 meters, shoot immediately!

Originally, the gunners of the Artillery Battalion were also going to fire, but Jiang Yan saw that there was no need for that, so he stopped his subordinates from making any changes.

Those cavalry didn't kill a single Black Tiger Army, and the whole army was wiped out!Except for the groaning of the wounded and the horses on the ground, and the wailing of the unmanned horses, the whole battlefield was silent. push over
Many of them regretted secretly: "We are so stupid, why did we rush to the front, the cavalry brothers died too badly..."

On the surface, Jiang Tao was neither sad nor happy, but he was very excited in his heart: "Zero casualties! According to this, as long as there are enough elite musketeers and enough new muskets, the Black Tiger Army can completely resist the Tartar cavalry! Hey, it's a pity that the current production capacity can't keep up with the expansion of the Black Tiger Army! It would be great if the Divine Craftsman Camp could produce a hundred muskets a day!"

The morale of all the soldiers of the Black Tiger Army was even higher when they saw this. They were a little scared at first, but they suddenly calmed down. It turns out that killing people is so simple.

In fact, Jiang Tao didn't know that the iron cavalry of the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties might not be stronger than these soldiers of the Qing Dynasty. Wouldn't it be fun to be a dog, listen to a play, drink tea, and bully men and women!
