Ming Zuo

Chapter 1312 But You Are a Mess

The Xia army fired and caused damage to the Qing army.

But it made the Qing army more at ease.

Because Xia Jun's gunfire was chaotic and mixed, the damage caused was still very limited.Shooting from a distance of more than 300 meters, it looks like a novice.

The morale of the Qing army was greatly boosted, and the speed of the charge became faster and faster.

At this moment, Xia Jun's second round of shooting also arrived.

Although the distance is closer, the accuracy has improved.But just because the Qing army was getting closer, the Xia army's soldiers panicked even more.

As a result, the two phases offset each other, and the damage to the Qing army was still very limited.

Cui Xiaoyi, who was on the front line of command, always paid attention to the movements of the Qing army, and obviously found that the Qing army was very different from the Korean War.

When the Xia army opened fire, many soldiers of the Qing army would crawl to the ground to avoid bullets.

This is a tactical move that the former Qing army would never do.

This shows that the growth of the Qing army during the war was amazing.

Fortunately, the Qing Dynasty did not have sufficient industrial strength and scientific research and development level. Otherwise, if the Qing army had the same weapons and equipment as the Xia army, it would be hard to say the number of winners and losers.

It was the Xia army's third round of shooting, and the Qing army had already entered within a hundred meters.

At this time, the sharp archers in the Qing army can already show their power.

Bullets rained down here, while bowstrings vibrated over there.

Obviously Xia Jun shot more people, but the casualties on both sides were almost the same.

It is not difficult to see from this that the quality of soldiers has a great impact on combat.

"Don't panic! Take a deep breath! Aim and shoot again. Our firepower is stronger, and we must win."

Che Liliang's voice was almost hoarse, but he didn't dare to stop, for fear that his morale would collapse.

He also personally raised the rifle to demonstrate to the soldiers.

"With a distance of 100 meters, there is no need to raise the muzzle of the gun. Let the eyes, the front sight, and the cover door be on a three-point line. When the trigger is pulled, the shoulder should be firmly supported, and the hand in front should be strong, so that the muzzle of the gun will not jump up."

boom……

As he pulled the trigger, a puff of blue smoke shot out from the muzzle.In the Qing army formation in the distance, a small officer fell to the ground.

Obviously the opponent has already made an evasive action, but he still cannot escape death.

Seeing the division commander showing off his power, the soldiers were greatly shocked and burst into applause.

With such an example, the soldiers stabilized their emotions very well, and their shooting accuracy was greatly improved.

But at this time, the Qing army had rushed within seventy steps, completely within the range of bows and arrows.

The two sides started a reckless fight against each other's firepower.

A round of musket fire from Xia Jun's side will kill many people from the Qing army.Similarly, when the Qing army shot a round of arrows, Xia Jun also suffered heavy casualties.

When the Qing army marched north, it did not bring musketeers.

After all, Wuzhenchaoha is still a relatively precious unit in the Qing army today, and will not be recruited unless there is a large-scale battle.

Therefore, the main long-range weapon in the hands of the Qing army is the bow and arrow.

But it has to be said that the era of bows and arrows has begun to pass.

With the improvement of the range, accuracy, and rate of fire of muskets, the response of bows and arrows gradually became weak.

In the initial confrontation, the bows and arrows of the Qing army were faster than the muskets of the Xia army.But fighting and fighting, after Xia Jun's soldiers stabilized, the rotation of the formation became smoother.

The strength of the archers of the Qing army was rapidly draining, and the contrast between the two sides began to reverse rapidly.

If Xia Jun's soldiers were not all beginners, they might have already started to counterattack at this time.

The Qing army rushed within fifty steps, and it was time for the two sides to compete for will.

And this is also Xia Jun's most vulnerable link.

Seeing the people next to them being shot to death, some soldiers of the Xia army finally became afraid and started to back away involuntarily.

"Don't go back!"

Cui Xiaoyi's strict order did not have much effect.

At this time, it is no longer possible to rely on orders.

One started to retreat, and the others were affected, thinking that something had happened, they all started to retreat.

All of a sudden, the barely maintained front immediately collapsed.

All the soldiers ran back, luckily no one dropped their weapons.

Cui Xiaoyi sighed helplessly, turned his head and looked back, and found that the deputy commander of the rear, Long Chenghai, had already led other troops to establish a solid line of defense, he was relieved, and retreated with the rebels.

This is the first time that the Qing army has seen the Xia army retreat since the confrontation between the Qing army and the Xia army.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners, who were full of anger, were all brave, and chased after them without waiting for the general order.

However, in the process of chasing, Xia Jun soldiers had the advantage instead.

These recruits lacked the ability and will to fight, but since they joined the army, their bodies have been trained very well, and with adequate nutrition, they have inexhaustible strength.

On the contrary, it was the soldiers of the Qing army who were dragged down by their heavy armor and were unable to catch up.

After the distance between the two sides was widened, the Xia army soldiers were not so flustered.Seeing the guidance ahead, he quickly retreated from both sides.

These defeated soldiers are not useless.

Through their battles, the comrades behind them felt the battlefield.

The formation prepared later is relatively complete, and the soldiers' mentality is relatively peaceful.

The most important thing is that these soldiers can see with their own eyes what kind of mystery is hidden behind them.

After the defeated soldiers in front retreated to the rear, the Qing army appeared in front of them.

When they saw that the Xia army still had countless complete formations, the Qing army faintly sensed that something was wrong.

Sure enough, before Xia Jun raised his gun, the ground shook violently.

Accompanied by the roar of the angry dragon, countless shells crossed the formation of the Xia army and smashed into the Qing army.

Clouds of smoke rose from the ground, and more than a dozen Qing soldiers around were all blown away.Broken arms and limbs were flying around, and if they hit someone, it would be another round of casualties.

The roar of hundreds of light artillery pieces dealt a fatal blow to the Qing army.

Thousands of people who were charging were wiped out of thin air.

No matter how brave the rest are, they also know that this battle cannot be fought.

But all veterans must be extremely smart.Seeing things can't be done, the speed of escape is faster than anyone else.

This time, it was the turn of the Qing army to be defeated.

"go ahead!"

Cui Xiaoyi and Cha Liliang took over the new army and began to order oppression.

But they didn't dare to let the soldiers charge at full speed, they just needed to maintain a good formation and press up slowly.

Anyway, the front is a triangular area surrounded by two big rivers. The Qing army has no way to retreat, and it will definitely be squeezed to death in the end.

The news of the failure ahead disappointed Man Dahai and Suohai.

"Chengzheng, King Dorobatulu has fled. Those Mongols robbed the boat and went to the south bank."

Mandahai paused for a moment before realizing that the so-called Prince Dorobatulu was Manzhu practicing rituals.

"What does Samushka do? Why do you let people go there?"

Although the retreat plan had been made long ago, it was obvious that the army could not do anything indiscriminately.

As a result, the Mongols did not say hello, and even snatched the boat and ran away first.

What should the Qing army who are still on the north bank do?
