【Chapter 180】30% casualty rate

(0180)

【Today's first update is delivered!】

Needless to say, the Tartars hit by Minnie bombs. There is a hole outside, and the tofu flowers inside. The raw cowhide on their bodies cannot stop the Minnie bombs the size of their thumbs. With a range of 200 meters, steel armor cannot stop the powerful lethality of Minnie bombs. If the Minnie bomb hits a war horse, even if it is hit in a critical position, the horse will not be able to continue walking. They all lie on the ground and neigh. If the Minnie bomb hits the vital point, they will die on the spot. The horse fell to the ground, and the owner on the horse's back was naturally overturned.

This situation is quite different from the situation caused by the explosion. The explosion just now was to completely clear a piece of Tartars, and as long as they were within the range of the explosion, there were basically no survivors. The current shooting instead caused the Tatar cavalry team to constantly appear injured or be killed directly. In a short period of time, not even many Tartars noticed that something was wrong, so they continued to rush forward.

In the past, when the Tatars fought against the Ming army, they were not without the fire of the Ming army's muskets. In their opinion, the Ming army's muskets were purely scary. The Ming army often could not wait to shoot outside the range of the muskets. Because they exceeded the effective range, the projectiles fired by the muskets had basically no lethality to the Tatar cavalry. Unless they entered a distance of about fifteen feet. However, if they entered this distance, the Tatars' arrows could first shoot the opponent.

It was visually estimated that the distance between the beacon and the canyon was more than fifty feet. At such a long distance, the Ming army's muskets were impossible to cause harm to the Tatar cavalry. This was also because the Tatars did not pay attention to the constant gunfire. They all habitually despised the power of the Ming army's muskets.

What effect can the musket have at such a long distance? Occasionally, a few Tatar cavalry fell down, and they were probably unlucky. At such a long distance, they were all hit. What is this not unlucky? As long as your luck is not that bad, there will definitely be no problem. The muskets of the Ming army are absolutely not as powerful as controlling the canyon.

It was not until more and more Tartars fell down that the centurions and the likes of the Tartars realized that things were not that simple. Some Tatar cavalry were hit on the head, and the wounds were so big that they seemed to explode. The muskets commonly used by the Ming army could not cause such heavy damage to the Tatars. A considerable number of war horses fell to the ground, which made the centurions and the like of the Tartars feel bad. The muskets of the Ming army actually killed even war horses at such a long distance. How much lethal is this!

After the Tatar cavalry was hit, they fell into the canyon and were trampled by their companions. Some people were directly trampled into meat and mixed into the pile of rocks. The head of the Tatars was constantly kicked and rolled around by war horses. The situation was very strange. If the war horses fell down, it would easily block the way forward of the companions behind them. If the horses were slightly worse, they would collide with each other. However, most of the Tatar cavalry still hit the body of the war horses and fell down. For a moment, the entrance of the entire canyon was in chaos.

"What kind of musket was used by the Ming army? It's so powerful?" Mo Rigen immediately noticed the key to the problem. His tone was a little surprised without any concealment. There are not many things that can surprise him these days. Even if the Ming emperor suddenly died, he would not be surprised at all. But he met it today.

He was sure that he had never encountered such a powerful musket before, and even the Rumi guns from the West were not so sharp. The Tatars, the Ottoman Empire, and the Safi Empire in the southwest (controlling today's Iran region), had all fought and were quite familiar with the performance of Rumi guns. If the Ming army used the Rumi guns, he could judge them immediately.

The defenders of the beacon fired pillow in Kalong Mountain were actually controlling the entrance of the canyon at a distance of fifty or sixty feet. This was beyond Mo Rigen's expectation. The explosion just now made Mo Rigen feel that this beacon fired pillow was a bit unusual. Now, there was a powerful musket again. He felt more and more that the hidden secrets of this beacon fired pillow were really not small. It seems that the Tatars had been for several years and had not gone south to Ningxia Town, and they were at all unfamiliar with Ningxia Town.

"I'm sorry, dear Altan, we don't know." The five commanders around Morigen shook their heads with regret and answered a little ashamed. They didn't know anything that Morigen didn't know. Among the Tatars, Morigen is famous for his excellent archery skills, and at the same time, his knowledge is extraordinary. He has been to too many places and has walked more bridges than many people have walked.

"What kind of musket is this? So powerful?" Inside the beacon of Kalong Mountain, Minghao also looked at the musket in the hands of the white-clothed soldiers in surprise. His reason for surprise was completely at a glance with Mo Rigen. He really didn't know when the Ming army was equipped with such a powerful musket? He could easily shoot the Tartars from a distance?

"Keep confidential." Xu Xingxia smiled slightly and said lightly.

He will never let others know the secret of the Sun and Moon Gun easily. This is a powerful weapon for time travelers and the basis for his survival. This is a more reliable weapon than the Iron-Feed Bow and the Long Xiang Bow. Only the most trustworthy heart can understand part of it. Only a very small number of people are qualified to grasp the complete Sun and Moon Gun secret.

"Oh." Minghao answered a little regretfully. But he misunderstood. He thought that the musket used by the White Army was the latest production of the Military Weapon Bureau or the Military War Bureau, and Xu Xingxia got it through relationships. It seems that Xu Xingxia's background is not simple! With his qualifications and identity, it is impossible to imagine that the Sun and Moon Gun was developed by Xu Xingxia himself and the craftsmen. Even if he found the Military Weapon Bureau or the Military War Bureau, it was useless.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The gunshots of the Sun and Moon gun continued, but they were not as fierce as before. Under the influence of the echo of Kalong Mountain, the gunshots seemed a bit dull. In actual combat, the differences in the speed of launching the Sun and Moon guns by different soldiers in the white-clothed soldiers slowly showed off. Some people were very fast, while others were relatively slow. This led to the shooting of Minnie bullets not as fierce, but were endless and continuous.

Minnie bullets shot out from the barrel of the gun and headed straight to the canyon below. Each Tatar cavalry entering the canyon is threatened by the Sun and Moon gun. Whether it will be hit depends entirely on God's arrangement. In fact, basically, at least six of the ten Minnie bullets hit the target. Either hit the man or the war horse. There is no way, the Tatar cavalry team is indeed a bit dense.

Such a hit rate basically means that among the ten Tatar cavalry, about seven can pass through the canyon smoothly, and the people and war horses are intact. Unfortunately, the remaining three are either hit directly by Minnie bombs or hit by Minnie bombs. No matter which one is, they will lose their ability to advance.

At the beginning, there was nothing big. Relying on superb horse control tactics, the Tatar cavalry could continue to move forward. However, as time went by, more and more people and war horses fell down, and the canyon was blocked again. It was completely impossible for the Tatar cavalry to continue moving forward. There was no way, so they had to stay outside the canyon and send people to clean up the personnel and bodies at the scene. A centurion of the Tatars hurried over to report the situation.

"Damn Huzha!" The commander of the Tartars cursed fiercely.

"Retract! Retract all!" Mo Rigen gave an order with a gloomy face.

The casualty rate of 30% is absolutely unbearable by Mo Rigen, and it is also something that all Tartars cannot afford. The purpose of the Tartars' arrival was to loot, to get benefits, and to strengthen the strength of their tribe. If their efforts were greater than what they got, and thus weaken the strength of their tribe, such a business would not be done no matter what. Such a stupid tribe would have long disappeared from the prairie.

Mo Rigen led his troops to fight and fight in the east and west, and implemented this principle. Otherwise, the Zhuangtulai tribe where he was located would not have become the most powerful tribe of the Tatars, and influenced and manipulated most of the Tatars. When he found that something was wrong, he immediately ordered the other troops to withdraw all of them and escape the range of the Ming army's muskets.

As for those Tatar cavalry that had already passed through the canyon, they were waiting for orders in place. There might be three or four hundred Tatar cavalry who had just passed through the canyon. For daily looting, there were a large number of such Tartars. If they broke into Ningxia Town, they could still grab some things. Every time the wolf smoke was lit, there were always some unlucky guys who did not enter the castle in time for various reasons.

But who is Morigen? He is the recognized arrow god of the Tatars! In the Zhuangtulai tribe, his personal prestige is even higher than that of the tribe leader. If it weren't for his low-class background and no bloodline of the Golden Family, he might even become the leader of the Tatars! What could be seen by the things snatched back by three or four hundred people? Instead of snatching them back and being ridiculed, it would be better not to take action at all!

After all the Tatar cavalry evacuated, there were people and corpses everywhere at the entrance of the canyon, and injured Tartars and war horses in the middle. At first glance, the entrance of the entire canyon was already red, all with pools of blood. Scattered Tartars came up to collect the wounded, or dragged the fallen war horses away. Judging from the actions of the Tartars, they were still unwilling to give up on entering Ningxia Town!

Xu Xingxia said calmly: "Don't shoot!"
