Chapter 522 Yue Tuo's Death
"Where is Yue Tuo?" Han Dashan asked.
"Protect the prince!" The remaining Qing soldiers suddenly shouted and rushed towards Han Dashan and his camel cavalry like crazy.
At this time, the two sides were too close. If the Ming army rode a camel, it would not have time to speed up. If the Qing army rode a horse, it would not have time to speed up. Both sides got off the horse and got off the camel. The distance was only more than ten steps, and the two sides confronted each other.
"Bang bang bang" the sound of guns roared, and the Qing soldiers rushing over fell one by one.
Didn’t the Minggou firearm just fired for one round? I didn’t see them loading bullets, so why did they fire again? A white-armored soldier fell down unwillingly, his eyes widened and looked at the sky with his lost eyes.
In fact, it was a short gun. Every camel cavalry wrote two short guns. This short gun does not require a fuse rope, but is a self-generated musket, but it is not a small number of dog-locked flintlock guns bought by Li Guodong and made by himself, but a wheel-generated musket made by Bi Maokang.
The self-generated musket made by Bi Maokang is a rotary-type musket, which is very different from a real flintlock rifle. The structure of the rotary-type musket is complicated, it is troublesome to load and difficult to clean up gunpowder, but the technology is mature and the requirements for springs are much lower, because it is a spring-type spring that drives the steel wheel to rotate, rubs the flint, ignites the induction medicine in the medicine pool, and then ignites the ejection medicine.
Because Li Guodong's excellent spring steel production was too low and he could not equip the flintlock rifle on a large scale, he used the excellent spring steel that he occasionally produced to build the rifled rifle.
The number of rifled rifles is very small, and because the loading speed is very slow, it cannot be equipped with line infantry. It can only be used to train a group of excellent sharpshooters to serve as straitors.
The short gun is a weapon that is prepared to be equipped on a large scale for firearms and cavalry. The short gun is extremely inconvenient to use. When a short gun is inserted at the waist, it is impossible to ignite the fuse and insert the short gun at the waist. The requirement for the short gun is to pull it out and shoot it, so Li Guodong adopted the wheel-type ignition self-generated musket made by Bi Maokang.
The Qing soldiers did not expect that each of these Ming army camel soldiers had two self-generated short muskets on them! As a result, they were killed and injured at close range.
But it was impossible for a musketeer to kill a Qing soldier with one bullet. More than 500 musketeers fired all the bullets in a blink of an eye. Many Qing soldiers were knocked into hornet's nests, but there were still about 80 Qing soldiers who rushed to the front.
According to the normal situation of the army, more than 600 Qing soldiers had lost more than 80% of them, and they had already collapsed. However, these Qing soldiers were all trying to protect Yuetuo. The Qing army's military discipline was harsh. If Yuetuo died, the Bayala soldiers who acted as Yuetuo's personal guards would all be beheaded after they returned. So it doesn't matter whether they could survive at this time. The remaining eighty Qing soldiers rushed to the Ming army like wild beasts protecting their cubs.
"Minggou's musket is finished!"
"The little prince is dead. We should protect the prince as slaves!"
More than 80 Qing soldiers had already rushed to the Ming army, but they saw that these Ming army's musket soldiers turned into short spear soldiers in a blink of an eye. Each of them held a five-foot short spear in their hands, and some musket soldiers turned into swords and cards. Among them, there were even more than a dozen big axe soldiers who were as strong as brown bears. Well, in fact, they were almost the same as brown bears, because in later generations, their name was Mao Bear.
In fact, the so-called short spear is a musket and a bayonet. Some musket soldiers with strong mechanics are equipped with shield steel knives; while those Rakshasa soldiers are naturally holding a big axe for each person.
A tragic hand-to-hand battle began. Han Dashan held a big axe, one axe, and cut three white-armored soldiers in succession, and he was injured in many places. The musket soldiers formed a gun sword formation held muskets like short spears and used bayonets to face the enemy. Of course, they were not the opponents of the white-armored soldiers. They lost two or three people on average before they could get a Qing soldier. More than a dozen Rakshasa soldiers, each of whom was invincible. Facing the Qing soldiers rushing over, they had one with an axe. In the end, only one of the more than ten Rakshasa soldiers was killed, five were injured, one of them seriously injured, and the rest were slightly injured.
"Catch Yuetuo!" Someone shouted excitedly.
Han Dashan walked towards the shouting soldier and saw Yue Tuo tied to the back of a war horse. Yue Tuo looked very bad, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and only his body that was slightly undulating due to his breathing could prove that he was still a living person.
"Hahaha!" Han Dashan looked at Yue Tou with his eyes closed and laughed: "Yue Tou! I didn't expect you to have today too!"
Yue Tuo opened his eyes slightly: "Don't quarrel, let me be quiet!" After that, he closed his eyes again.
"The chief Yuetuo of the barbarians is already seriously ill and is about to die. Judging from this, he probably won't be held in the capital and die halfway." Han Dashan said.
A soldier came up to see Yuetuo and screamed in surprise: "No! Yuetuo is infected with acne! Don't touch him! Otherwise we are all in danger!"
"In theory, we should kill him and cremate the body, but then we will have much less credit to it." said a soldier.
The reason why he could take Yue Tuo alive to the capital city was much greater than killing Yue Tuo and holding a can of ashes to the capital city. If he cut him off with one knife, he would have to cremate the body in order to avoid being infected by smallpox.
Li Guodong came with his men and saw Yue Tuo who was dying.
"Li Laoer, if I hadn't been seriously ill, how could I give you a chance? Since I fell into your hands today, you won! But you won't win. I hope you can do it well and kill me with one knife. Anyway, I will live a few days later." Yue Tuo, who had a high fever, opened his eyes and said to Li Guodong with all his strength.
"This person has fought with us for ten years and is almost dying today. Since we have acne, in order to prevent our people from getting sick, we killed him with one knife and marinated the body with lime." Li Guodong said.
A soldier stabbed Yue Tuo into his heart with a knife. Yue Tuo opened his eyes in pain and screamed. After a while, he felt very tired and slowly closed his eyes. From then on, the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains and achieved hegemony had nothing to do with him.
Yue Tuo's body was disinfected with lime. Li Guodong asked Yue Tuo's body to tie it to a wooden stake and placed it upright on a car. Luo Luohun's body was also tied to the wooden stake and pulled it with a car. Then he cut off the heads of the other Qing soldiers' bodies and took it back to Jinan City.
"Yue Tuo and Luo Luohun are both dead. Now we have to deal with Luo Luohong! Let the father and son send them to the capital in one by one!" Li Guodong said.
A fleeing Qing soldiers ran to the Xiaogu Mountain area and reported to Luo Luohong about the attack on the Qing army camp and the killing of Yue Tuo and Luo Luohun.
"Ama!" Luo Luohong fainted from crying.
Du Du and others hurried up and pinched him a little. After a while, Luo Luohong slowly woke up. He gritted his teeth and shouted: "Tell me the order, go back to Jinan quickly! We must break through Jinan and avenge Ama!"
"Nephew, our army was defeated by Li Lao Er's vicious plan. If we use this little force to Jinan, wouldn't we fall into the trap? Let's retreat to the north quickly and meet with Prince Rui first, and then attack Jinan after the meeting!" Du Du advised.
"Okay, then I'll do it all for you, Uncle Du Du." Luo Luohong also knew that he was going to Jinan now to die for nothing, so he was preparing to withdraw his troops and go north to meet with Dorgon's main force.
But Li Guodong would not let Luo Luohong and Du Du run away. He led 2,600 heavy cavalry, 3,000 camel soldiers, and the five hundred royal palace soldiers in Jinan City to intercept the Qing army's retreat. The 14,000 infantry who came from Julu also arrived.
