Chapter 777
The Xuanfu army beheaded two Gushan Ezhens in the first battle of Songshan, forcing Qing Guorui Prince Dorgon to retreat and seek defense. Now he is well-known among the Qing army. Everyone, there was a trace of fear in their hearts.

Obviously, although the Ming soldiers on the opposite side were dressed as Mongolian cavalrymen from the Outer Domain, they were all in good shape, and each of them was holding short pistols in their hands, and each of them had more than one horse. With so many pistol horses, only one named Zhang Cheng Xuan Only under the command of the general army can it be widely equipped.

And the Ming army dared to attack first, and their momentum was not small. At this moment, they hesitated a little whether they wanted to fight.

"Is it true that the Xuanfu army doesn't accept them at night?"

Among the inspection team of the Qing army's yellow flag post, a middle-aged man with a gloomy expression shrank his eyes suddenly, and said in Tartar dialect: "Hmph, you are so rampant, the southern army, don't you want to die?"

This man had a typical Manchu appearance, with a big round face, two small eyes, and two whiskers underneath, and the skin on his face was dark, red, and rough.

He was dressed like a Gebush soldier general, but the otter tail on the top of the helmet and the black tassel hanging from the barrel of the helmet all showed that this person's identity was extraordinary.

But he seems to be very low-key in his conduct, only quietly hiding behind a group of sentinels, especially behind those soldiers of Bayala and Gebush, who are opposite Li Changsheng and others who have binoculars, so they can't help but ignore it the person's presence.

Although he was low-key and didn't want to attract attention, the identity of this gloomy Manchu man was not simple. He was the Karbusi Xianzhang Jingdasu, the Zhang Jia family of the Qing Dynasty, who was born in Manchuria with a yellow banner.

As early as the fifth year of Tiancong, Dasu was still Baya La Zhuangda. At that time, he and Ao Bai, who was also Baya La Zhuangda, led 24 armored soldiers to garrison Luotuo Mountain.

400 members of the Ming army came to rob the camp at night. Da Su and Aobai did not panic in the face of the enemy. Instead, they beheaded more than [-] ranks of the Ming army and captured [-] horses. They were later promoted to Baya Lajia Lazhang for their achievements Beijing.

During the Battle of Jinzhou, in February of this year, nearly a hundred Ming troops occupied a mountain outside Jinzhou. Promoted Karbusi Xianzhangjing.

Huang Taiji, the captive chieftain, set up Gebush Xianchao Ha camp, and there were only Gara Yiangbang, Zhang Jing, guards, Zhuang Da, and Jiabing in the camp. Da Su was able to be promoted to Zhang Jing, which shows that he has his own extraordinary experience and skills.

Suddenly realizing that it was the sentry cavalry of the Xuanfu Army from the Southern Kingdom rushing towards him, Da Su couldn't help but tremble in his heart, but then an inexplicable excitement and longing surged up again.

In the current Qing Dynasty, beheading the officers and men of the Xuanfu Army has the most meritorious military service. For beheading one level, at least one hundred taels of silver can be rewarded.

If the beheaded generals such as Jia and team officers will be rewarded with farmland, houses, and coated servants, and if they can kill generals above the generals of the Xuanfu army before the battle, at least half of their future will be increased.

but.The head of the Xuanfu army is also extremely rare.

A few days ago, some Ba Yala soldiers with red flags who were sent out accidentally saw the reflection of the Xuanfu army sentry's telescope on the Shamao Mountain. .

But even so, it caused quite a stir in the entire Qing camp.

These Ba Yala soldiers were also personally received by the captive chief Huang Taiji, and the leader of them was given the title "Batulu" by the captive chief Huang Taiji.

Such excellent awards and rewards also greatly stimulated the desire of the Qing soldiers of all banners to want to be the leader of the Xuanfu army, and Dasu was also very enthusiastic about it.

Since the Qing army had rarely seen a whole team of the Xuanfu army showing up at night, Dasu guessed that there must be officers of the Xuanfu army in this team of southern troops, and even the generals of the general rank Level generals, if you can kill them here...

In just a split second, Dasu made a decision, he saw some hesitation and fear among the people on his side, and immediately shouted: "The Xuanfu army is a ball again?

When did I become a mighty warrior of the Qing Dynasty, afraid of these southern barbarians?
Let's fight...all of us! "

Da Suce also straightened his waist immediately, and immediately showed a majestic momentum, and all the previous sluggishness was gone.

All the captive cavalry around him were startled, these Manchurian Zhenghuangqi sentry cavalry, after all, are elites in all battles, and then recalled the generous reward for beheading the Xuanfu army's sentry cavalry.

Immediately, he roared furiously, preparing to have a showdown with Ming Qi!
Da Suzhangjing gave orders even louder: "The Nanman's guns are powerful, and he is wearing fine armor. Bows and arrows are useless. When we face the battle, we will greet the Nanmanzi with throwing axes, throwing spears, and iron bones..."

A group of Ta thieves immediately roared loudly to receive the order.

Beside the saddles of these Qingqi were scattered iron bones, throwing axes, rotary knives and other sharp throwing weapons, and some of them had javelin holsters hanging on their saddles.

Immediately throwing is a skill that many Tazi soldiers must be familiar with, and when it comes to the proficiency of this skill, Geba Yala soldiers are naturally the best, not to mention those Kabush soldiers.

…………

The sound of hooves rumbled, and the smoke and dust billowed.

Li Changsheng and other officers and men of the Xuanfu army rode on their horses, roaring angrily, and rushed towards the sentry horses of the Tartars.

They had already seized the opportunity, and when they were about to meet the enemy, the Tazi soldiers on the opposite side were just preparing to fight, and the formation was not organized in a strict manner, and it was a little chaotic.

Li Changsheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted: "Outflank the two wings, form a formation of geese, and fire guns at thirty paces. Kill slaves...kill slaves!"

The Yebushou of the Xuanfu Army's Huwei Battalion was originally an elite fighter.

After everyone heard Li Changsheng's order, without any hesitation, everyone completed the formation change in an instant, and the cavalry formation was divided into three.

Li Changsheng personally led 29 elite cavalry to confront the Tartars in the middle, and on the left and right flanks, sentry officer Wan Guangjin and team leader Liu Shouzhu led 27 cavalry each, and swept towards the two sides of the Manchurian Yellow Banner Tartars.

At the same time, they put their tiger guns and other cold weapons in front of the horses, and changed the short-handed guns from the left hand to the right hand. The aim of firing the gun with the right hand is naturally higher than that of the left hand. After all, left-handed people are still very rare. .

Moreover, the two-winged cavalry fired guns far away from the Tartars' flanks, and they didn't worry about immediate hand-to-hand combat. They could hold each weapon in their left hand, or lay it across in front of the horse, and then use it when fighting.

As for the short-handed guns of the Xuanfu army, although they can penetrate armor at a distance of [-] to [-] steps, that means standing still and aiming. On such a bumpy horse, the horses on both sides are still passing by at high speed. This accuracy is inevitable. It will be worse, and the hit rate is not very high.

If you want to hit the enemy, you can only reach the maximum hit rate when you enter within [-] steps, or even within a dozen steps, or when the two sides are coming towards each other.

However, Li Changsheng still decided to shoot short pistols when the fine cavalry under his command reached thirty paces. Although the accuracy was slightly lower, the hit rate would not be too high, and it might not be possible to hit many Tartar cavalry. It is better than safety.

The Tarzi's throwing weapons such as javelins and iron bones are generally only thrown at about [-] steps, or even more than a dozen steps, and they will lose their power any farther away.

The distance of thirty steps is just right, and this distance is equivalent to 45 meters in later generations. First, it is difficult for a tartar to throw it, and second, it is also extremely poor in accuracy when it is on a high-speed horse. Even if it is thrown forcefully, it is not very powerful. , easy to block.

Li Changsheng chose to fire the gun rather far away, the accuracy is worse, at least it can guarantee the safety of his brothers.

And at this distance, no matter how inaccurate one's own weapon is, it can at least hit more than [-]% of the hits. As long as the bullet hits the Tartars, it is almost enough to kill them.

This is not like cold weapons such as bows and arrows, javelins, etc., which have problems such as exhaustion of power, and the inability to pierce Lulu at the end of the crossbow.

Gunpowder weapons, on the other hand, are powerful and sufficient, and they still have a certain degree of lethality beyond the effective shooting distance.

Just like the rifles of later generations, they seldom shoot from hundreds of meters away, but it does not mean that being hit by a rifle bullet hundreds of meters away can be safe and sound.

The short-handed guns of the Xuanfu army have reduced shooting accuracy at thirty paces away, but it does not mean that they have lost their power. If they are accidentally hit by the ejected projectiles, they will hit the body hard like a big hammer. Undead is also seriously injured.

Although Li Changsheng considered so much, he made this decision in an instant, without delaying the opportunity.

…………

Those Tartar soldiers from Manchuria Zhenghuang Banner also rushed forward on horseback at this time.

They fought according to the Qing army's usual tactics. 30 people wore light armor, wielded bows and arrows, and surrounded and harassed from the two wings, intending to destroy the integrity of the Ming army's cavalry formation.

More than [-] people wore heavy armor, armed with spears, knives, axes and other long soldiers, and charged the formation, but at this time the bows and arrows were replaced with weapons such as throwing axes and iron bones.

Seeing those vests roaring loudly, they were about to encircle them, and those elite cavalry from the Bayala camp and the Kabush camp rode their horses to follow behind the vest tartars.

Throwing weapons such as throwing axes and javelins appeared in their hands, and their sharp eyes were fixed on the sentry horses of the Xuanfu of the Ming Dynasty who were rushing towards them.

However, they were still one step behind and lost the opportunity. After the Ming cavalry was divided into three, the battle line expanded, and the advantage was in the Ming cavalry. It was too late for the Tartars to outflank the Xuanfu sentry cavalry.

The rumble of iron hooves shook the heavens and the earth, and the smoke and dust rolled forward even more.

Li Changsheng charged forward with 29 horsemen. Most of them held guns in their hands and deliberately controlled the speed of the horses so that the two wings had time to catch up.

A strong Ye Bushuo urged his horse with all his strength, and he passed Li Changsheng by more than a head. This man was his guard Zhao Xingguang.

He joined the Xuanbei Army in Dushibao, and because he was born in a Mahu family in the outskirts, he has practiced spear since he was a child, and he can also ride and shoot, so he was selected into the guard's army department and has been following Li Changsheng's command.

He was born with a wide body and a fat body, boxy and very stocky, and it was precisely because he was boxy from head to toe that he was nicknamed "the bench".

He rode his horse and ran in front of Li Changsheng because he knew that the first target was the enemy's focus. How could the bench put his respected Master Li in the most dangerous situation?

After all, he came from a Mahu family, and he has been dealing with horses since he was a child. The bench only uses his legs to control the horse, holds a short pistol in each hand, and wears a cavalry card on the forearm of his left hand. In the final battle, his tiger gun was still stuck on the victory hook.

Because he has been exposed to cold weapons since he was a child, he only had the opportunity to touch Yunzhou blunderbuss and other firearms after he joined the Xuanbei Army, but this does not mean that he is not good at using them. One of the best guns.

The iron hooves of the war horses slammed heavily on the ground, and in the billowing smoke and dust, both sides rushed over with shouts in an instant.

"Bang... bang... bang..."

The explosion of short-hand guns came out again and again, and amidst the puffs of white smoke rising, a burst of people screaming and neighing instantly resounded throughout the battlefield.

Liu Shouzhu led 27 elite cavalry as the left flank. After they left the main team, they accelerated and galloped, like arrows shot out, and quickly burst out.

Liu Shouzhu led the team to rush quickly. Seeing that the Luqi on the other side wanted to outflank, he led all the knights in the team to spread their wings so that the Luqi could not outflank.

Seeing the opportunity to pass by the right wing of the captive rider, he raised his wrist, and with a "bang", he shot a blunderbuss.

It just hit a warhorse in the crotch of a Tartar vest on the flank, the healthy horse let out a mournful cry, its hooves flew into the air, and immediately knocked the Tartar vest off the horse's back, and fell heavily to the ground. It was unknown whether it was dead or not. live.

Liu Shouzhu didn't care to look carefully, and the moment he turned his wrist down, he replaced it with a new short-hand gun.

At this time, a fierce black shadow came with the sudden sound of the wind. Liu Shouzhu hurriedly turned his head to the side, but it was a flying ax that flew past his face. There was a bloodstain on them.

Liu Shouzhu raised his hand and shot another blunderbuss, but missed and failed to hit the captive cavalry, but at this moment the bludgeon was already ringing.

…………

The horse under his crotch galloped rapidly, and Zhao Xingguang's thick and square body also fluctuated with the galloping horse.

Just as the horse under his crotch was galloping, he raised his hands to level the short gun, aimed at the captive cavalry who was getting closer, and finally pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

A flame burst out, and the sparks generated by the firing of the flint ignited the primer in the fire door of Zhao Xingguang's hand gun, and at the same time the primer in the fire door ignited the gunpowder in the barrel of the gun. Out of the mouth.

"boom……"

Zhao Xingguang shot out the short-handed gun in his left hand almost at the same time, and his gun successfully hit the thigh of a Tartar, and the armored soldier of the Tartar fell off his horse with a miserable howl.

One of his legs was still hanging obliquely on the stirrup, and he was dragged forward by the horse like this, but before he had time to be happy, the Tartar Bala knight who rushed up from behind stomped on the fallen captive under his horse. On the head of the cavalier.

With a sound of "whoosh", the cold star gradually enlarged under the sunlight.

"puff"

A flying ax flew at an extremely tricky angle, and it was thrown on Zhao Xingguang's left shoulder, and the bright red blood soaked the entire left shoulder in an instant.

Zhao Xingguang's complexion was as usual. With a set of continuous movements on his feet, coupled with the guidance of his waist, the tiger gun broke away from the Desheng ditch.

His movements were like flowing clouds and flowing water, but in an instant, he retracted the short pistol, took out the tiger spear, and pointed straight ahead.

He yelled: "Kill...kill...kill the tartar..."
