Chapter 934 The Ming Army was defeated

A unique weapon of the Qing army, Teng Shield, was woven with soft texture. This vine has another purpose.

First of all, this thing is made of local materials, and it does not have to be used like a copper shield and iron shield, which requires a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to smel.

Furthermore, this thing is light enough. It is either as fast as an iron shield that can be used at any time or as compared to dozens or hundreds of pounds. Just carry it on your arm and you can easily kill the enemy.

In addition, the most obvious advantage of Teng Dun is that its power to withstand the attack of weapons is amazing.

We have all heard of contradictory stories. There was a person who sold shields and spears in Chu who praised him, saying, "The strong shield is that no thing can trap my shield." He also praised his spear and said, "The advantage of my spear is that everything is trapped." Some people said, "What is the same as the shield of your spear?" The person cannot respond. Everyone laughed at him. The shield that cannot be trapped and the spear that cannot be trapped cannot be established in the same world.

However, when facing physical attacks, the Teng Shield woven by the vines was far beyond everyone's expectations.

First of all, the production of this vine is complicated. Not to mention anything else, the complexity of its production process alone is amazing.

There are also time limits for picking vines. The first thing is to cut off the vines when winter is about to begin in late autumn.

Then it is drying, and there are also some requirements for drying. It cannot be placed directly in the sun, but should be placed in a cool place to dry. In this way, the fiber tissue in the vine can have extremely strong toughness.

The next step is to put the dried vines into an iron pot, add alkaline water such as lime and steam them. After cooking, dry them again.

It is said that there are dozens of such processes. Finally, there is forging, and the internal fibers of the vines are constantly forged with an iron hammer. Then it is steamed, dried, and dried. The steamed and cooked repeatedly.

The internal tissue fibers of the vines after hundreds of processes have been strengthened to the best state. At this time, they can be used to weave them.

The prepared Teng Dun should be placed in a dark and humid cellar and covered with wood ash. When the flowers bloom in the next spring, you can open the kiln and take it out for use.

This Teng Shield is the pinnacle of the production technology of the Qing Dynasty. First of all, this Teng Shield is extremely light and will not feel tired at all when carrying the battle.

Furthermore, it is difficult to shake the sword when it is cut up. What is even more surprising is that it can withstand lead bullets at a long distance in the flintlock rifle.

You should know that although the power of the lead bullet fired by the flintlock rifle is not as powerful as that of modern bullets, it still has the power of breaking mountains and cracking stones. Within a close range, the iron plate can be shattered.

The power of the firearm is undoubtedly amazing. In other words, the Teng Dun cannot withstand the flintlock rifle within the close range. The lead bullet of the flintlock rifle can also easily penetrate the Teng Dun, causing fatal damage to the Qing soldiers.

However, in medium and long distances, the lead bullet cannot penetrate Teng Dun. Teng Dun can effectively protect the Qing soldiers from harm.

This gave the Qing soldiers the opportunity. The round Teng Shield less than two feet can effectively protect the key points of the Qing army at the medium and long distances of the flintlock rifle. When the Qing army arrived at the short distance of the flintlock rifle, the flintlock rifle could cause harm to the Qing soldiers. On the other hand, the Qing army, such a distance was within the effective range of the archers.

The advantage of the flintlock rifle is that it is farther than the archers in terms of range. However, with the Qing army with Teng Shield in hand, it can be on par with the opponent in terms of killing distance.

The Ming army had flintlock guns and firearms in hand, while the Qing army had Teng Shield to resist. When the war started at close range, whether it was a flintlock gun or an archer, it could cause a fatal blow to the other side.

At close range, the flintlock rifle has high shooting accuracy and amazing power. The archer is convenient for it and can shoot arrows in a row.

A well-trained archer had a stronger shooting speed than a flintlock rifle. The war officially began, and casualties began to occur on Dorgon and Kong Xiangxin's side.

This type of casualties is undoubtedly huge. The lead bullet of the flintlock rifle broke through the tough Teng Shield, and the lead bullet penetrated through the human body and caused huge penetration injuries. The Qing soldiers who were shot fell down one after another.

In film and television dramas, people who are shot can fight to the enemy bravely or fight back with a scream. In reality, this situation basically does not exist.

Those who are shot will basically lose their combat effectiveness immediately. Even if it is just a lead bullet from a flintlock rifle, it will cause huge lacerations after hitting the human body, making the shotgun unable to resist at all.

Similarly, the charge of the Qing soldiers also caused the archers to give the Ming army on the opposite side, causing fatal damage.

Manren is a nation on horseback and has excellent riding and shooting skills. Manren, who have been with archers since childhood, are all archers.

The Ming army under Kong Xiangxin was just a third-rate baggage unit. If Kong Xiangxin had not been in good command, he would have been defeated.

Even so, the two lines of defense set up by Kong Xiangxin on the periphery were torn apart by Dorgon.

Fortunately, Dorgon's Qing soldiers had no horses, otherwise Kong Xiangxin would not be able to resist anyway.

After all, he is worthy of being a famous general. After the battle has reached a white heat, facing the Qing soldiers who are rushing up like a tide. After the second round of defense, Kong Xiangxin ordered the withdrawal of troops.

?

Is this also called a famous general?

That's right, a qualified general will make quick judgments based on the battlefield situation and then adopt the tactics that are most beneficial to him.

First of all, in this attack on the Ming army's food and supplies, Dorgon, apart from the elderly, weak, sick and disabled people who stayed in Shengjing, almost all the soldiers of the Eight Banners came out.

Not to mention anything else, facing the main force of the Qing army that was more than ten times more than the other, Kong Xiangxin's third-rate baggage force was not enough for the other party to eat.

The defeat was just a matter of time. The final outcome was that Kong Xiangxin and his subordinates were annihilated by Dorgon. Then, Panjin's food camp was burned out like Yingkou.

Even if you carry out fearless resistance, you can bring some Qing troops to the fore. However, the Ming army will definitely lose in this battle.

Instead of losing for the sake of defeat, it is better to compress your own troops and retreat to leave room for the Qing army to move.

Who said that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were not passionate? Even these third-rate baggage troops were red when they watched their brothers die on the battlefield.

When Kong Xiangxin ordered the withdrawal of troops, some soldiers with red eyes roared: "I will avenge my brothers, I will not retreat!"

Then, Kong Xiangxin pointed his cold muzzle at his head: "I'll say it again, retreat!"

The general with red eyes looked at Kong Xiangxin angrily: "General Kong!"

Kong Xiangxin was still unmoved: "Transfer our military orders and retreat twenty miles, retreat to Baojiagou, and retreat!"

Kong Xiangxin's eyes were red, and you didn't have to doubt at all. The next second he would pull the trigger and kill the general who disobeyed in front of the formation.
