Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 855
Zhang Huan's 3000 archers lined up in two rows, with a distance of one meter between the two horses and two meters between the front and back rows, and they took turns shooting arrows at the Tartars rushing from the opposite bank. Shengsheng was shot back.

The first charge organized by Sony failed, and the time was not long, no more than half an hour before and after. A rough estimate shows that the casualties this time were at least 5000.

It's not that the team led by Sony is vulnerable, but because the 3000 archers of the Ming army are too ruthless.They aimed at the Ming army's neck or forehead.These Tartars who fell from horses were either headshot with one arrow or pierced through their throats with one arrow. Not only did they shoot people down with one arrow, leaving no one alive, they also shot horses with one arrow. The Ming army shot like this, and the Tartars How can the children stand it?Those who can run back are lucky. If they run slowly, they will all be brought down at this time.

Sony was too unconvinced. If he was going to be blocked here by the 3000 Ming troops, how would he go back and see Dorgon explain that he would just piss and drown himself, so he immediately organized a second charge.

At this time, among his 3 horses, there were [-] heavy armored cavalry. The so-called heavy armored cavalry means that they have been armed to the teeth even with their horses.The man wears a helmet, an iron armor, and an iron mask.The same is true for the war horses. The faces of the horses all wear iron-clad faces, and even the horses' hooves wear iron ladder palms.

They built this kind of heavy armored cavalry mainly to deal with the bows and muskets of the Ming army. As for ordinary attacks with sharp blades such as knives, axes and chopping, they can even avoid them.

So this time the charge against Sony led the 1 heavy cavalry to take the lead. Are these 1 horses from the Zhenghuang Banner and the Bordered Yellow Banner, and Sony is the owner of the Zhenghuang Banner, so these [-] horses can be called his direct troops .

The other Tartars retreated temporarily, and after adjusting their charging formation, the [-] heavy cavalry, led by Gu Shanezhen, surged forward like a group of metal monsters.

Boundless to 1 soldiers, 1 horses are not too small.This kind of heavy armor equipment for men and horses did not affect their speed at all, and the horses galloped like lightning.

"What about the heavy cavalry of the Tartars, general?" Some soldiers of the Ming army panicked seeing this. Can bows and arrows be effective against them?
"Don't panic, aim at their eyes, human eyes, horse eyes, shoot for me!" Zhang Huan said, three arrows have been added to the string, the bow is like a full moon, and the right hand loosens, three mace arrows It flew out like three meteors, and the arrows rubbed against the air, making a swishing sound.

The three Tartars who rushed to the front all had an arrow in one eye at the same time, and they screamed three times. These three Tartars fell off their horses, and one of them was the commander Gu Shan Ezhen.

Gushan's forehead is really the official name of the Qing army, and Gushishan is the establishment, which is equivalent to that of the Ming army. It is the same as the hundred households and thousands of households.The current establishment of the Qing army is roughly like this, one Niulu has 300 people, the chief of Niulu is called Niulu Ezhen, five Niulu are called Jiala, the chief of Jiala is called Jiala Ezhen, and the chief of five Jiala is called Jiala Ezhen. La is a Gushan, and the governor of Gushan is called Gushan Ezhen.In this way, a Gushan Ezhen can control about 8000 to [-] people.

But now this Gu Shan'er is really authorized to control [-] armored cavalry, which is equivalent to strengthening.

But he was unlucky enough, 1 heavy cavalry could not protect him as an officer, because he was targeted by Zhang Huan, and Zhang Huan shot three arrows, and these three arrows were his share.Although he was covered in gold and iron armor, he still couldn't escape the fate of falling off the horse, and got an arrow in his left eye.

Due to the short distance, Zhang Huan was also very strong, the arrow shot in from the eyes, and the arrow came out from the back of the head, so the three of them, including Gu Shangshan Ezhen, became three dead bodies after falling off the horse.

Zhang Huan set an example for these generals. Although these 3000 archers can't shoot three arrows at once, their accuracy is not bad at all. At a distance of about 50 meters, they can hit every shot with every shot.

They still stood in two rows, shooting arrows in turn, and the arrows flowed like rain, covering the sky and the sun.

The armored and heavily armored cavalry, known as invulnerability, fell one after another in the rain of arrows.

Most of the Tatars who fell off their horses were shot in the eyes, one eye was disabled, some were shot to death directly, some were shot and lost their combat strength, and some fell off their horses because of the arrows in the eyes of their horses. The son was not injured, but he fell from the speeding horse and fell dizzy. When he realized it, he got up and ran. Of course, he didn't dare to rush forward, but ran back for his life.

The team of the Tartars charging was in chaos at that time.The Ming army did not charge, but immediately stood there, shooting arrow after arrow.In this way, the [-] Tartar heavy cavalry did not last for another half an hour. Under the incredible eyes of Sony and others, they retreated to the other side of the Shihe River and retreated beyond the range of the bows and arrows of the Ming army.

The armored and heavy cavalry of the Qing Dynasty couldn't avoid the bows and arrows of the Ming army?Sony was almost dizzy with anger, why are these three thousand Ming troops so difficult to deal with?Could it be that the [-] army of this officer really can't rush through?
"My lord, we can cover with bows and arrows, and then organize a charge." A Gu Shan Ezhen suggested.

Only then did Sony realize that horseback riding and archery are our Tartar strengths. Yes, you have bows and arrows, so do we. If you shoot at us, we will shoot at you this time. Anyway, our soldiers and horses have the absolute advantage, and the charge failed twice. What kind of.

Sony felt that he had been confused by anger just now, so he immediately adopted the suggestion of Gu Shanerzhen, and adjusted the formation again. The first two charges failed, and the combined casualties were nearly [-] soldiers and horses, and the remaining [-] The men and horses were divided into two parts, one part was dedicated to shooting arrows at the Ming army on the opposite bank, and the other part was preparing to charge across the river under the cover of bows and arrows.

Soon, led by two Gu Shan Ezhen, more than [-] people charged back and forth on the bank of the stone river, shooting arrows wildly at the Ming army on the opposite bank. What they didn't expect was that running back and forth like this was still a rake for the Ming army, but a moving target.Because the Ming army on the opposite side is not an ordinary archer, but a sniper among the archers. As long as it is within the range, no matter what state you are in, you will not be able to escape.

The two sides shot at each other like this, which can be described as mutual casualties, but the casualties of the Tartars were obviously increasing, because they ran back and forth, which did not affect the Ming army's aiming at them.

However, Sony did create an effective opportunity to charge with this tactic. Under the cover of bows and arrows, Sony personally led the remaining 1 Tartars and launched a third charge to the other side of the Stone River...
