Chapter 8 The Collision of Cavalry and Musket (Part 1)

.Ming Blood  Volume 3 The Resurrection of the Ming Dynasty Chapter 8 The Collision between Cavalry and Muskets (Part 1)

"Report! Lord General, Minggou vanguard is already eight miles away." A messenger Ni reported to him.

"Down. Explore again. Also, be careful to hide. Never let Minggou discover it." Sony replied. Although his face was calm, the corners of his mouth were slightly shaking. His fingers kept shaking, indicating that his heart was not calm. Three years ago, although it was rarely mentioned. However, the shadow of Prince Yu's failure of Matou Zhuangyu has been pressing on the heads of the people three years ago. It is lingering. Now this shadow will be broken in his hands. A myth that is invincible is erected again.

"Bang." The knife in Soetu hit the hillside hard and said hatefully: "At this time, these Ming dogs learned tortoises. Tortoises should crawl faster than them."

Sony glared at Soetu with displeasure and shouted softly: "Stay calm." This son is the most similar to him. He is both familiar with Han and Meng Manchu. He is smart by nature, but he is still young and needs more tempering. He will be the pillar of the Helishe family in the future. On the other hand, the eldest son Gabula is much more calm. He is just not smart enough and can only be an ordinary general.

"Yes, Ama." Sony scolded him. Soetu finally calmed down.

Almost every few minutes, the scout reported the distance between the Ming army. All the Qing army cursed the Ming army's marching speed. At this speed, they could not reach Lin County at night. These Ming army were simply a test of their nervousness that had been tense.

Ten thousand Ming troops, plus more than 2,000 mules and horses, and more than 300 large carts. There were long dragons arranged in several miles on the official road. However, the outer edge of this dragon was always protected by vehicles. This method of marching was once the best way for Han troops to enter the grassland and deal with nomadic peoples. The large cart could transport various supplies for the army. In wartime, it was a good protection for infantry. During the Han Dynasty, Li Ling relied on 5,000 infantry and used this method to break through the multiple encirclements and pursuits of the 200,000 Xiongnu troops and killed and injured tens of thousands of Xiongnu people. In the end, he was captured because he had no ammunition and food.

This method has been used for thousands of years and is still not outdated. Sun Kexian, who is far superior to the Han army, does not believe that anyone can break through his car formation. The more people come, the better. Although the Qing army is not found, it is just that Sun Kexian intuition told himself that the Qing army is nearby.

The officers and soldiers of the Yulin Guard all knew what it meant to be a slow marching. This was a signal that the enemy might appear at any time. The Yulin Guard at the front was tightly faced. Yu Yulin Guard also lost his interest in speaking and the whole team was quiet. Only the rustling sound of everyone's footsteps. If the Qing army was careful, they would find that the Ming army marched like a whole. Every step was exactly the same.

"Ama. Give the order. Mingdog has entered the ambush circle." Soetu urged.

Sony raised his hand. For some reason, an inappropriate feeling surged in his heart. It seemed that the Ming army entering the ambush circle was not their prey, but the hideous beasts waiting for the prey to take the hook.

All the Qing generals looked at Sony's hand. But Sony raised his hand high but did not fall down for a long time. For a moment, the Qing general's eyes showed doubts. Lord Helishe was hesitating. What else can hesitate in front of him? As long as he rushed out, these timid Ming dogs would panic and let them kill them.

"Ama, please order it." Soetu shouted again.

Sony woke up in shock. What's wrong with him? Did he get old in his forties? He was so crazy about it. He lined up his thoughts just now. He waved his right hand with high raised heavy waves: "Roar over and kill!"

The Qing army, who had been waiting for an impatient, took up the horse who was lying on it, skillfully turned over the horse, raised the sword in his hand, and shouted: "." He rushed out of the hills everywhere.

The rumbling sound of horse hooves broke through the wilderness and calmed the entire ground as if it was shaken. Except for the last section, the Ming army completely entered the encirclement of the Qing army. Because they were afraid of being discovered by the Ming army's scouts, the hill where the Qing army hid was almost two or three away from the road. However, this distance did not take much time for war horses.

Seeing the Qing army rushing out behind a hill that was only two or three miles away from him, all the Yulin Guards were not panicked, but instead breathed a sigh of relief as if the mystery was uncovered. There was no need for the officer's order. The soldiers driving the cart untied the reins on the mules and horses as fast as possible. Then they drove the horses into the middle. The big carts outside took one by one. Before the Qing army rushed over, all the big carts were connected together to form a square circle. The Ming army and the horse were hiding in this circle.

"Kill!" The Qing army's shouts and killing sounded into the clouds. The voice was full of enthusiasm. The benefits of Ming arms were just legends. I had really experienced the power of Lin Wei firearms. Only a few Qing troops who escaped were afraid of affecting the morale of the army. Doer also forbidden these people to speak. For the past three years, the Qing army has been dealing with Li Zicheng and the rebels from all over the country. They have also dealt with firearms for granted. They naturally thought that the Ming army's firearms were also the firearms. Everyone believed that as long as they rushed over, they would win.

Yulin Guard looked at the Qing soldiers with pity and ruthless eyes. He rushed up with a scream. When the Qing army had just rushed out of the hill, except for some people untied the reins of mules and horses and moved the cart, the other half of Yulin Guards had already arrived.

.Automatically stand in an array, aim the mouth in front, maintain the shooting posture, and wait for the orders issued by the official.

"Huh." rushed to the front. The Qing army found that there was an extra vehicle between them and the Ming army. The Ming army behind the vehicle was not panicked, but looked at them with the same eyes as the dead.

Seeing the dark muzzle aimed at him, many people couldn't help but hesitate. Should they continue to rush forward or stop and lure Ming Jun to shoot the bullets from the musket first?

The Qing army hesitated in front. The attacking Qing army, who was rushing behind, tried hard to hold the reins and slow down the speed. Otherwise, they would hit their own people. The attacking Qing army was shocked. At this moment, the voices of various Yulin Guard officers came from the front: "Shoot!"

"shooting!"

"shooting!"

...

"Bang!" Countless sounds of fried beans sounded. At the same time as gunfire sounded, countless metal projectiles flew towards the Qing army at high speed in the air at straight trajectory. The entire Ming army front line filled with smoke. The smell of smoke came from the air.

Seeing the smoke rising from the Ming army's front, the Qing army attacking ahead was not surprised and happy. It turned out that these Ming army were no different from the Ming army before. They were cowards and could only fire guns from afar. But this idea just passed. Many people felt that their bodies were hit hard by something. They immediately reacted and were shot.

"How is it possible? I am obviously less than the distance from the enemy to fire a musket?" Before they could figure it out, many people's eyes turned dark and had fallen from the horse.

"Yulu." The horses hit by muskets were undead for a while, and they jumped up randomly, causing chaos in the routes of the Qing army's attack.

"Run. Rush in." Although the death and injury in front were severe. The Qing army behind did not retreat. Their understanding of muskets was still at the age of muskets. After firing a shot, there was almost no time to fire a second shot. He could rush to the Ming army and cut off the abominable head of the Ming army. Fight for the brothers who died in front.

Bang!" It was like a switch was turned on. With the first gunshot, the Ming army's gunshots continued. A bloody massacre was launched against the Qing army that was coming up. The Qing army had to pay the price of blood for every few steps ahead.

"Kill!" Looking at the line of his subordinates falling down in front, a Qing army officer's eyes were about to break. He slapped his horse desperately and rushed to the front. Perhaps it was his luck. Although countless bullets flew past him, he rushed to the front of the Ming army's chariot. The officer was lucky to be unsuccessful.

The Qing army officer was overjoyed. He had already seen the chaotic eyes of a Ming army opposite him. The Ming army took out a paper-like thing from his pocket with his hands trembling. He just bit his mouth but fell to the ground. When his hand trembled and reached into his pocket again, the Qing army officer sneered. The long knife in his hand slashed forward. He seemed to have seen the damn Ming army's head fall to the ground.

With a bang, the long knife slashed the vehicle. The Qing army officer was stunned. Then he remembered that they were still passing through the vehicle. His knife could not reach the Ming army at all. He was about to push the knife down. His body suddenly shook and a pain came in his chest. He looked down and saw several small holes in his chest. Blood was flowing out of the small hole. His chest was dyeing red. He raised his head. The panic on the Ming army's face just now had disappeared. He skillfully put a round metal into the barrel. Then his eyes went black and fell down.

"Kill!" More than a dozen lucky Qing soldiers avoided the shooting of Ming army bullets and rushed to the front line of the Ming army. They were blocked by vehicles and did not make the mistake of an officer in front. Some of them jumped off the horse and climbed up the car with their swords. They were only quickly killed by Ming army bullets. Some of them threw the long swords forward in desperation. This time, it had an effect. Several Ming soldiers were thrown by long swords and fell down softly.

But that's all. The Qing army, whose swords were thrown out by the company commander, was quickly shot dead by the Ming army muskets. The Ming army that fell just now was filled with the Ming army behind.

The short distance of dozens of meters is like a line of death. Most of the attacking Qing troops fell below this line of death. Even if someone barely approached the Ming army's front, the road ahead was blocked by vehicles and could not enter the Ming army's formation. He could only watch himself as he was shot and killed by the Ming army with bullets.

Du Dashan shouted desperately at hundreds of officers and soldiers.

Although there were wars outside, the hundreds of people ignored it and installed dozens of cannons in a hurry. These cannons were light three to six-pound cannons. However, once the adjustment was completed, the fire that had already used the flowering shells would be a nightmare outside.
