Chapter 137: Reversing the Future 6
There is a saying in the army that if you want to hit every shot, the best way is to wait until the enemy is already standing in front of you, and when you can even clearly smell the stench in his mouth, then you will definitely be able to hit it.
With the same accuracy, the closer the distance, the higher the hit rate. The same is true for smoothbore and rifled rifles. When the distance between the two sides reaches this point, not to mention that they are unable to hit, the armor on the new army is no different from that of paper. As long as they are shooting, the number of casualties will only increase explosively like a protruding mountain peak than before.
The order to stand still and aim was issued. Ding Junjie, who was standing shoulder to shoulder with Tongshi's robe, raised his gun and aimed at it. Niu Zhong's musket behind him also poked out between him and the robe who replaced Huang Dazhuang. The teams in the front row of the Young Guard Division did not have any fancy formation adjustments, and they directly pointed the muzzle at the Wuwei Right Army more than ten meters away.
The muskets were lifted and leveled in a row, both in length and in density, which was no less than the Qing army opposite. The cold muzzle pointed directly at the Qing army formation just eighteen or nineteen meters away, and the anger of revenge even ignited the gunpowder in the medicine pool.
"shooting!"
The crisp gunshots resounded throughout the battlefield on the western front, and while the smoke of gunpowder covered the battle formation, the Wuwei Right Army on the opposite side was like wheat cut by a sickle. The soldiers in the first row were almost killed in an instant, and the soldiers in the second row were also knocked to the ground in batches.
The corpses and wounded were everywhere. In just a moment, the casualties of the Wuwei Right Army were no less than two thousand. The formation, which was originally as strict as a knife and axe, was not just a wolf-toothed dog, but was swallowed by more than one-fifth of the soldiers in one bite!
With such a dense volley, the smoke blew out, Ding Junjie could only hear screams. The tragic situation of the Qing army could not be seen at all, but it could be thought of it.
However, the military order never gave him and his robes any time to think. After the first round of shooting, the order to squat came one after another. Then, a team of back teams several meters away from them strode forward and stood directly behind them. With the order issued, the new round of volleys unfolded like a method!
"shooting!"
Another round of close-up volleys, the Wuwei Right Army, which had just paid one-fifth of the casualties, was hit hard again. Although the formation was already full of holes and its killing effect was not as good as the previous time, the actual killing and damage caused was also not as good as the previous time. For example, the middle of the Wuwei Right Army formation facing Ding Junjie and others, even the spearmen in the back row were also seriously traumatized.
The iron is hard and the lead is soft, but with huge kinetic energy, the lead bullets work hard to penetrate the iron armor. Behind the armor leaves are nothing but flesh and blood. Once the iron armor is penetrated, the body will only be left with the splattering flesh and blood.
For the first close-up shooting, the first row of the battle formation was swept away, the second row was severely injured, and there were some casualties in the third row. In this second close-up shooting, the officers and soldiers in the second row were completely cleaned up, and there were only a few pitiful trembling and unsustainable left in the third row. The spearmen in the back row, even with heavy armored armor, the thicker armor leaves than ordinary armored armor could not withstand such a distance and such firepower.
At one time, dozens of people were killed from afar, and more than two thousand casualties were slowly consumed. This was not the same order of magnitude as killing more than two thousand people at once. At this point, the survivors of the Right Army of the Wuwei looked at the corpses all over the ground in a daze, and their ears were filled with the pain of the wounded, and the military order could not be heard any more.
The first time, the distance between the approaching volleys of Ding Junjie and his teams on the front line was very small. After the shooting was completed, with the orders issued, the teams on the front line no longer maintained a squat posture, but held the unloaded muskets in both hands, stood up neatly and waited for the next order.
"Young Guard Division, move forward!"
Holding the gun barrel in his left hand and the front of the buttstock in his right hand, the triangular gun sword had already been placed on the musket. With the sound of war drums, Ding Junjie and his robes roared, and then strode towards the remnants of the Wuwei Right Army, which was less than twenty meters away!
The distance of twenty meters is only a distance that Ding Junjie and others who no longer need to strictly or even deliberately keep their steps can reach in a blink of an eye.
However, before they could approach the Qing army that had been scared, the fifth town on the far right of the Wuwei Right Army took the lead in reacting.
Just a scream of fear was filled with fear. The fifth town, which was always regarded as the worst combat effectiveness of the Wuwei Right Army, which was formed by Liu Cheng, dispersed with expectations and did not disappoint the public. He even gave officers at all levels of the fifth town a response. Even among the first group of people who fled, there were no missing officers. They fled in a hurry like a group of frightened rabbits, and had completely left the cruel training and strict military laws of the new army out of the sky.
The Eight Banners of Goryeo restored the tradition of the predecessors and descendants who were later defeated when facing the iron armor of the Han family. However, the town collapsed, and fear spread in the battle formations of other towns in just one or two seconds. The entire Wuwei Right Army infantry formation lost half of the soldiers in just one or two minutes, and inevitably entered the stage of collapse.
However, not everyone could react immediately like the fifth town. In just less than twenty meters, most of the Qing army was caught by the young guard division who rushed up before they could turn around.
"kill!"
Ding Junjie bowed his front legs, bent his hind legs, and the musket was straight, and the three-edged gun sword pierced the lower abdomen of the new army musketman in front of him. Then he twisted and turned around, the musketman who had not yet reacted looked at the hole where the armor leaves pierced, and blood and flesh splattered out. When he let go of the musket and wanted to cover his abdomen, blood had already flowed out of his mouth, and then his legs became weak and he fell heavily to the ground.
"This is the one that the Yellow Team Officer!"
Ding Junjie pulled out the musket, stepping on the body of the new army's musketman and approached another new army that had just reacted. Another straight stab, the gun sword inserted through the gap between the two armor leaves, and then twisted again. In the area, the life of another new army entered a rapidly passing ending.
"This is Li Youzhi's part!"
When the two armies line up to fight, once one side collapses, the other side will be one-sided. In terms of combat effectiveness, although the Wuwei Right Army cannot be compared with the Imperial Guards, it is not much worse than the other three new troops. In some aspects, the Wuwei Right Army is even better, such as the strictness of the queue, the psychological quality of the soldiers when killing people, and the desire for merit and rewards, and they must be slightly stronger.
However, suddenly, the string of soldiers who lost as many as a soldier was broken, and it would never be much better if it was placed in other new troops.
The right-wing Wuwei Army of the new army suddenly collapsed after two rounds of approaching volleys, and even the cavalry behind the formation were chasing the system by the defeated soldiers. On the high platform of the town, the Qing emperor Aisin Gioro Shunzhi, the Qing Dynasty's first warrior leader Guarjia Oboi, and the Sanzhi Minister Liu Jia*cheng, the chief of staff of the imperial camp of the three Qing army, were also shocked by such an incredible scene in the telescope.
But in a blink of an eye, Oboi, who had been charging into battle since Huang Taiji, reacted first and rushed off the platform without saying a word. After a while, he rushed to the collapsed right wing with some Mongolian cavalry as a reserve team.
On the high platform, Shunzhi put down his telescope and sat down on the ground. The eunuch who was serving him did his best to pull him up, but Shunzhi, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was completely there, and he let the eunuchs call him without any reaction.
The fighter plane was fleeting, especially when a new army had collapsed, there was no need to hesitate at all. At this moment, Shunzhi was completely shocked by the power of the signature tactics of the era of Chen Wenshi's lobster soldiers queuing to kill. It was imperative that Oboi was not there, and it was imperative to take action first and then report. He had to issue one order after another to those messengers who were still in a daze to alleviate the decline as much as possible.
Oboi had already brought some Mongolian cavalry to rescue the ground. Liu Cheng knew very well that Oboi had left him thousands of Mongolian cavalry as reserves. These troops could not move now, at least they could not be placed on the right wing of the army. There was a canal one or two miles apart. Too many light cavalry would not achieve too good results. Instead, it was because they were too crowded and they lost the space for the fight.
Put these Mongolian cavalry in his hands and ready to send them to the left-wing guards at any time. Liu Cheng, who could not command Shunzhi, called the vanguard battalion, and even the ministers of the scattered rank, had no use. He directly ordered the President of the Guards, Doni, to reinforce the right wing as quickly as possible. At least he had to stand on other fronts to turn the defeat around, and the defeated soldiers of the Wuwei Right Army were able to reconverge and re-enter the battlefield.
Doni is the lord of the Zhenglan Banner. The identity of Prince Heshuoyu is very noble than Liu Cheng, a Han prince who holds the flag, and even Liu Cheng has no qualifications. However, Doni is also a little good commander who has enough experience among the Qing Dynasty. It is naturally quite good to have the Qing army after the moment on the right wing. After that, the Qing army was on the verge of collapse, at least not like Fu Shou.
Sure enough, Liu Cheng's order was issued, and the Guards launched their advance towards the Wuwei Right Army, among which Doni personally led the cavalry of the headquarters to chase Oboi's footsteps.
The collapse of the right army of Wuwei was no longer something that Ebilong could do, but with the guards and Oboi's cavalry blocking the gap, they could always last for a while. The Qing army's arrangement was originally intended to use the left-wing imperial guards to defeat the right wing of the Northern Expedition Army, so as to use the advantage of the number of cavalry to roll the snowball up, thereby completing the defeat or even annihilation of the Northern Expedition Army.
The collapse of the right wing of the army was too sudden. The central and left wings were still shooting against the Northern Expedition Army, and they were still unable to distinguish between the two. However, there was no time left to waste, so Liu Cheng had to mobilize the last unit with the ability to set the stage that he could mobilize.
"Let the Red Barbarian Artillery Team advance and bombard me with the current Zhejiang bandits in the Imperial Guards, immediately!"
Continental advocates the use of small-caliber artillery in field artillery to facilitate the promotion of marches and queues. Sweden, the new military's teaching method, is the most powerful advocate of this tactic. Therefore, there is no large-caliber artillery among the new army, but all three-pound cannons, which have been put into the battlefield.
However, the Qing court was not completely prepared for this war. The Red Armored Cannon and the Solid Cannon could break through the city defense faster, and it would be more convenient to attack the city that refused to surrender on the way south after defeating the Northern Expedition Army. Now the Solid Cannon is all in the capital and will be given priority to recapture Shanhaiguan in the future. However, the Red Armored Cannon still brought ten of them out, which is just used here.
The order was issued, and before the messenger could receive the order, Liu Cheng seemed to have seen the scene of the Red Barbarian Cannon bombarding the right wing of the Northern Expedition Army, accelerating its collapse.
Suddenly, Liu Cheng subconsciously felt something was approaching his neck quickly, and immediately lowered his head. The next second, Liu Cheng raised his head, and the tail of the money rat behind his head had been cut off in the waist, and his braided hair was spreading. When he turned around with a wariness, he saw Shunzhi holding a sword in his hand, staring at him furiously, wishing to tear him apart.
"Dog slave, this is the new army you have trained. If you are defeated after the battle, it must be the hands and feet of your Han dog. Come on, pull this Han dog out and chop it up!"
With the order from Shunzhi, the two guards on the tower drew their swords and rushed over. The imperial guards were not allowed to bring swords, and Liu Cheng was no exception. When he faced the two guards who came here, he did not explain or look for any alternatives. He just took the route of the two rushing over and rushed into one person's arms, holding the guard's right hand holding the sword with one hand. The arm was as if it was not his own, and let Liu Cheng control the sword to fly and the sword that another guard slashed at the head and face.
In the flash, Liu Cheng defeated two with one against two, and without any explanation, he resolved the killer move at this moment. The sword of Ben Fei flew into the sky and then fell down and was inserted in front of Shunzhi. He immediately frightened the barbarian king and sat on the floor of the platform.
"There are assassins, guard the car!"
The eunuch who reacted was screaming in the duck's voice, and Liu Cheng immediately shouted "shut up" and the eunuch fell softly to the ground, and a piece of water stains flowed out of his crotch.
Liu Cheng let go of the guard's hand, and the thick big hand had already twisted slightly at this moment. The black and purple handprints were clearly printed on it. It was obviously a fractured moment Liu Cheng grabbed it, and even the sword fell to the ground the moment Liu Cheng let go.
In terms of martial arts, Liu Cheng was only convinced by Li Ruixin in the Ming army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Over the years, he has never stopped polishing martial arts. Even now, because Li Ruixin has been in charge of the army for a long time, he is not necessarily his opponent when fighting alone.
For him, the scene just now was even more extraordinary in a critical situation, and it was impossible to replicate. However, being able to defeat two great guards with outstanding martial arts by himself was even more like killing a chicken, which was indeed rare, so that everyone present was shocked on the spot, which was no less than the full-strength attack of the young guard division just now.
However, Liu Cheng, whose momentum overwhelmed the audience, did not become more powerful. Instead, he took two steps back, bowed to Shunzhi, and then explained: "Emperor, it's not worth mercy to die, but at this moment, the army is just a collapse. Don't the emperor want to win?"
After Liu Cheng said this, Shunzhi, who had just been so angry, immediately reacted. Not to mention the full-strength attack just now, but to only talk about the strength of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Without Liu Cheng, who is familiar with the inside story, they would never be able to win.
As Liu Cheng pointed out, now the right wing collapsed, Oboi led the team to help, and Liu Cheng had already made the most correct response. The outcome was not yet determined, and Shunzhi's face changed a few colors, and he soon began to apologize to Liu Cheng for his Meng Lang, and repeatedly made a name for his unintentional act that had just been blinded. He hoped that Liu Cheng could continue to serve the Qing court without grudges.
Shunzhi's madness came as suddenly as restoring calm. Liu Cheng also expressed his understanding. The king and his ministers "reconciled" and he picked up the telescope in the fearful eyes of everyone, observed it carefully for a moment, and then went to the sand table to start the deduction.
"Your Majesty, it's time to decide the victory or defeat. The red artillery team and the grenades of the vanguard battalion must be sent to the left wing immediately. If the collapse of the right wing begins to sweep into the central army, then the court will have no hope of winning."
