Chapter 264 This is a Ming Yao!
Chapter 264 This is a bright demon!
Bang bang bang….
Strange muffled explosions sounded intensively. It turned out that the grenadiers in the rear row of the Guards rushed forward to meet the melee soldiers of the Qing army and threw a large number of grenades.
The grenade-like shrapnel raindrops immediately cut a space with ripples, and the entire ground was dyed bright red!
The melee soldiers of the Qing army immersed themselves in the charge, not caring about the casualties of those around them. Some of them broke through the barrage, holding their swords high, their eyes flashing with excitement, and shouting various slogans. They were only half a mile away from the top of Qingxi Mountain.
Pan Aqiang could vaguely hear something like "Serve the country with loyalty!" and "This slave will fight to the death for the emperor!"
Boom boom boom...
Their shouts were drowned out by another burst of muffled explosions. They were short, thick firearms in the hands of the Guards skirmishers. They were pitch-black barrels as thick as a child's arm. They looked very scary.
The most frightening thing is that each one fired out dozens of tiny projectiles, beating the Qing melee soldiers who were more than ten steps away until they were bloody and bloody.
It turns out that this is the new secret weapon of the Ming Guards - the shotgun!
This is the 1893 pump-action shotgun that Zheng Kezang exchanged for 25 points!
This is a model that uses black powder and is not famous in history.
Due to the popularity of smokeless powder, the Winchester Company quickly improved the Model 1893 shotgun into the Model 1897 shotgun that fired smokeless propellant shells.
Although shotguns are only used for hunting in modern times and have little military use, in this era they can be regarded as close combat artifacts.
Fortunately, at this time, Leerjin's army also arrived.
Seeing that hundreds of thousands of troops were divided into two sides, with only a few Mingyao people on the opposite side, the sobriety in my mind that "Mingyao is brave" was gradually overwhelmed by the superiority of our own side's abundant troops and horses.
Even Leerjin nodded, Westerners are still powerful, but is it really good to let Han people become so powerful?
The black whirlwind rocket dragged a long tail flame, made a strange cry of "Jie Jie Jie", and roared towards the marching Qing soldiers. Because the distance was too far, there was no accuracy.
Dozens of Qing soldiers were killed on the spot, and some were seriously injured. Their flesh and blood were bruised by the bombing, and they let out heart-rending howls of ghosts and wolves. It hurt just to look at them!
But this is not the most unlucky thing. If it explodes like this, it will hurt for a while and you will be sent to hell.
The stragglers of the Guards were condescending and rained down bullets, and hundreds of shotguns defeated a large number of hand-to-hand soldiers of the Qing army, knocking them off their feet!
To be honest, in this era, a shot from close range will not save the gods and Buddhas, but this thing can kill the Prime Minister of Japan in seconds!
After a while, the Qing soldiers dispersed like headless flies, leaving only a bunch of people under the banner still standing there, at a loss what to do, and were eventually stabbed to death!
What?
Top it?
But we are the children of the Eight Banners!
Why not let the new Green Camp Musketeers, who have been trained hard by the Portuguese, take the lead? Is there any mistake?
But there were too many rockets, so during the second salvo, more than ten rockets still landed impartially on the advancing column of the Green Camp New Army!
After several loud bangs, hundreds of Qing soldiers surrounding more than a dozen rockets were knocked to the ground!
Without any time to think about it, Leer pulled out his sword with a clanging sound, waved it forward, pointed forward, and shouted: "Comrades of the Eight Banners, when the opportunity to make meritorious deeds comes, follow me and support me.
Get up!"
What Ming army? This is a Ming demon!
The defeat of the small forward certainly did not affect the situation of the battle, but it affected Sun Sike's mood at the foot of the mountain.
This posture is very professional!
In this era, there is only one way for them to die, the only difference is to suffer more!
Although Leerjin did not see it with his own eyes, he was not worried. There were many people in the Qing Dynasty, so he was not afraid.
Just when he was satisfied, Ming Jun instantly taught him how to behave.
"Attack! The entire army attacks!"
What kind of magic is the Ming army on the opposite side doing!
This is too sensational.
It’s so cool for Yin people to have a melee weapon like the shotgun, which is an equal weapon for all beings!
"Fire the bayonet!"
However, the situation has completely gone off the rails, and even veterans can hardly provide any valuable advice.
This is why the Guards did not take the lead in using electromagnetic rifles.
As this group of "invincible" Eight Banners soldiers cheered, all the green soldiers on the battlefield became excited. What was originally a test all the way soon turned into a full-frontal fierce attack and a four-pronged attack.
Sun Sike was shocked and uncertain, and for a while he did not dare to give any more orders.
When the disciples of the Eight Banners heard that they were going to "top up", they thought they were going to charge forward, but they were all stunned.
The Qing army, which was originally marching in mighty formation, suddenly became a little timid, their marching speed slowed down, and there was confusion in the ranks at several places.
The Guards also did this, because this formation could be quickly deployed to form a broad frontal line, and it could also quickly form a hollow square formation.
Seeing that the courage of the Qing army's hand-to-hand combat soldiers was completely broken, and they retreated in scattered pieces, the commander of the first battalion of the first town of the Guards gave an order, and the men, horses, and spears on both sides were pierced like a forest, and they swayed with small steps as they ran, like belts.
Against the cold wind, he rushed towards the chaotic Qing soldiers in front of him.
The worst ones are those with minor injuries caused by the explosion. The injuries of these people may not look serious, but most of them have shrapnel and iron beads burrowed into the flesh. If they cannot be removed, the wounds will soon become inflamed and suppurative!
At this time, the disciples of the Eight Banners became excited and shouted loudly in Manchurian: "The Heavenly Soldiers of the Eight Banners are invincible in the world!"
Seeing the sudden silence, Leerjin immediately understood what was going on and immediately added in Manchurian: "Why are you so stunned? Hurry up and let the new Green Camp Musketeers come in, and then you can go up and supervise the battle!"
They all thought to themselves: General, that’s a demon. We Eight Banners disciples are so precious, so that’s not how they are used.
When the Green Camp New Army advances, it forms a column with a very wide front. This is the formation used by the infantry when advancing on the front line and on the battlefield.
What's interesting is that the new Green Army at the front was actually in a serious formation of lining up to kill. It seems that the Portuguese hated the new Ming Dynasty that took away their Macau, and actually gave all their money to the Qing army.
Even Sun Sike in the distance was shocked. Six thousand people as big as him were gone in the blink of an eye!
After the baptism of rockets, the battlefield was suddenly filled with smoke and flames.
Sun Sike quickly reported the situation to General Leerjin.
Looking at the hellish scene in the distance, Leerjin's jaw suddenly dropped: "It's really a bright demon!"
The key is that they are helpless in the face of the Ming army's rockets. The cavalry cannot charge in this terrain!
This is why Zhu Kezang deliberately chose Yizhang as his home stadium to avoid premature battle with the Qing cavalry brigade.
However, the Ming Dynasty Guards set Yizhang County as their home field. While enjoying the advantages of the location, they also had to accept a disadvantage.
That is, the battlefield is a narrow area at the foot of a mountain with poor airflow. Not long after the battle started, smoke and dust rose up for a long time, making the battlefield blurry. He could only rely on messengers to grasp the situation.
Leerjin still came up with a countermeasure, which was to use numbers to support him!
