Chapter 82 Battle

E Shuo rolled and crawled back with the remaining Eight Banners soldiers. Soon, the front of the Xinzhai was clean and there was no standing figure.

The bodies, including men and women, old and weak, all fell into a pool of blood, and only a very small number of people could slid east along the battlefield. The tatars' swords, guns, bows and arrows were not decorations.

Three or two thousand people were gone, and there were still many Tartars.

Not to mention the defenders of Xinzhai, even the guards Hong Xu were a little stunned. He killed people with a bird gun, which was quick.

Although the sound of gunfire in Xinzhai was lively, what about the whole process? In just three or two minutes, so many people fell down...

If you use swords, guns, crossbows, the defenders will have been consumed hard. No archer can continue to shoot more than ten or more times in a short time, and then maintain normal state.

But the Zheng army soldiers are using muskets now, and they don’t feel tired at all now.

Even Hong Xu felt a sense of ease from the bottom of his heart. Yes, ease. Although so many people died in front of Xinzhai and so many of his own people died in their hands, he always felt a little good in his heart without holding a sword and a gun.

"Anbang Zhangjing, will you go ahead..." Baiyintu looked at Turg.

"Of course, keep going. Don't be afraid. Nikan only has those two cannons to use. What should I do?" Turg scolded.

Bai Yintu bowed his hand and continued to beat the horse. Although Turge was relaxed, it really made sense.

Not long after, layers of shields appeared on the Qing army formation. The dense shields were a group of people before, and a large number of Eight Banners soldiers hid behind and drove the people to rush towards the new village.

Zheng Jun's guns and cannons were indeed sharp, but the Qing army was not a coward. This wave of shields in the hands of the Qing army were specially added, and the shield was covered with a layer of cotton armor. The defense was stronger.

At least the bird guns of Ziyang cannot penetrate them.

"Prepare for combat."

The officers shouted loudly, and there was a sharp sound of suona, which always made people pay attention in an instant.

Everyone knows that the battle really began at this moment.

The Eight Banners soldiers behind the shield soldiers were densely held light arrows. In order to reach the defenders earlier, they all gave up their traditions.

You need to use a weight arrow to clear the bow. This way, it will shoot accurately, have a large killing, and have the best overall effect. Using a light arrow will not only damage the bow body, but may also shake the palms to the point of being bald and the arrow speed will be slow.

But at the moment, all of these were not seen by the Eight Banners soldiers.

The Qing army had a clue in how sharp the guns and cannons on the opposite side were, and it was not easy to make a choice between human life and bows and arrows.

The sound of gunfire rolled past, and there were already smoke of gunpowder rising above Xinzhai, and the sharp north wind blew away the smoke.

The large amount of smoke generated when the black medicine powder exploded, which may be a major defect in the Zheng army's position during the war. It was not that the north wind blew by, and the heavy smoke was swept across the wall of sheep and horses. The soldiers there would only see the distance of thirty or twenty steps and were completely ignorant of the farther place.

But even with the help of the North Feng, the rolling guns and cannons could not stop the Qing army from approaching. The overwhelming rain of arrows rushed from behind the flesh shields of the Han people and the Qing army's shield soldiers.

The arrows either flew straight, or fell from the air, covering the entire sheep and horse wall to the camp wall.

The screams followed, but except for a few guys who were particularly unlucky - such as those who were hit by a large number of falling arrows, the Zheng army soldiers who screamed were all hit by the direct arrows. This was like Jiannu hunting in the dense forest of the white mountains and black waters. They would not use light arrows to tease prey from a distance, but would only lurk near, use strong bows and heavy arrows to make one blow fatal!

"Don't panic, shoot, volley—"

The officers yelled loudly, but they themselves bent down unconsciously. The Zheng army soldiers who were hit by heavy arrows and could not die again were not fake.

The wall of sheep and horses, or the land centered on the wall of sheep and horses, is densely filled with hedgehog-like arrows.

The Zheng army soldiers lowered their heads and continued their movements, allowing the arrows to fall down like rain.

"fire--"

The sharp sound of suona sounded again inside the sheep and horse wall, "Boom boom boom..."

But it was not the Red Cannon, but a clever tiger squat cannon, which erupted for the first time today. Zheng Jun had already experienced the convenience and sharpness of tiger squat cannons outside the pass. After Zheng Zhilong made his move, will the army still lack tiger squat cannons?

A tiger squat cannon was fired, and what was shot out was a large net, hundreds of marbles, enough to cover dozens of steps.

Turge, who was watching the formation, shouted. Why did Zheng Jun have small cannons?

Zheng Zhilong held up his telescope and stared at the battle in Xinzhai. A tiger squatting cannon and a musket. How could the Qing army attack in broad daylight? Don’t forget that there are still a wave of bombs behind the sheep and horse wall.

The sound of the tiger squat cannon sounded as if it was clearing the field. In the end, the people fell to the ground, and many Tartars hiding behind the people were easily captured by the bullets sprayed by the tiger squat cannon.

Whether it is the heavy armor on their bodies or the shields in their hands, they are all improperly used in front of the cannon.

"Kill..." The Eight Banners soldiers were still rushing forward in a crazy manner.

"Kill the Dogs!" You can see their twisted and ferocious faces clearly.

And they rushed forward to the Ming army's firearms, fired arrows, and swung their swords, which many of them had experienced. They also believed that they could easily win with the knife bow in their hands.

But today's battle is quite different from the past. The Ming army in front of us can remain calm in their impact and rain of arrows, and can even hit them back with rows of volleys.

The sound of the Qing army's drums increased, and Baiyintu had a ferocious expression on his face. He knew that the Zheng army's guns and cannons were far sharper than other Ming troops, so they had to speed up the approach, and the Eight Banners warriors had to rush faster.

"put!"

The deafening muskets were heard, and the guns were fired volleys, which not only maintained the lethality of the muskets, but also shocked the enemy. The Qing soldiers shouting and charging fell down a large number of people.

Hong Peng aimed at a person in the Eight Banners Army who was urging others. He wore a lightning hat and blue cotton armor, dancing with a knife and shouting wildly.

Hong Peng pulled the plate machine, and a sharp flame immediately spurted out from the flintlock rifle in his hand, and a long blood arrow shot out from the chest of the Tartar officer.

Although the latter is covered with cotton armor, perhaps the inner armor is also fitted with inner armor, but the lethality of the rifled rifle is greater than that of the flintlock rifle.

In fact, even Zheng Zhilong didn't have many such flintlock rifles. Several of the rifles in his hands were given to him as gifts by Europeans. For example, the Mining front-loaded rifles of the Gaul Chicken.

The latter is also an optional small role in the current European battlefield. Now, except for the Danes who are willing to equip it in the military and form a certain scale, other countries are reluctant to equip this rifled musket due to the high cost of making gun bores and the inconvenience of loading ammunition from muzzles.

Zheng Zhilong was also the only one who made people imitate it. From exploring to successful imitation, and then to production, it took time to be used. Therefore, he doesn't have much in his hands now.

The Tartar officer staggered back and fell out, pressing his wound tightly to the ground, but he was not dead for a moment.

Hong Peng laughed, his head shrank, hid behind the sheep and horse wall, and struggled to load ammunition. Snipers like him were all selected soldiers of the Zheng group, and Hong Peng was Hong Xu's relative.

His value is not to shoot ordinary Tartar soldiers, but to choose valuable targets, such as officers or those Bayala soldiers like wild boars.

The new village is only a mile long. The sheep and horse wall on one side is only a hundred steps away, and it is full of gaps. The entire sheep and horse wall is defended by a team of musketeers, plus a squat cannon, and the hottest news on the wall behind them, forming a steady stream of firepower.
