Chapter 98

Because of the protection of trenches and chest walls, the firearms of the Han army of the Eight Banners did not cause much damage to the Ming army. Most of the projectiles were hit on the edge of the trench or on the chest walls. Only a very small number of unlucky soldiers were hit by the Qing army projectiles when shooting open air.

However, the archers of the Eight Banners of Manchus caused certain casualties to the Ming army.

The light arrows shot by the loft flew over the trench and fell into the trench. Although many Ming soldiers used wooden shields to block the falling light arrows, many arrows still passed through the gap between the shield and the shield, hitting the Ming soldiers under the shield.

These Ming army infantry had almost no armor protection on them. They were shot by light arrows, and the arrowheads were pierced into the flesh. The Ming army soldiers who were shot in the arrows all screamed and fell down.

The Ming soldiers who were not caught in the arrow were nervously loading. At this time, the Qing army was less than thirty steps away from their own side. As long as the loading speed was faster, they could shoot out the last round of projectiles the moment before the Qing army rushed up.

Although the Green Camp cannon fodder soldiers at the front had been completely lost, at this time, there were only more than twenty steps away from both sides. The Qing army could rush up as long as they could breathe a sigh of relief! Zakana, who led the team, believed that as long as they rushed up and competed for hand-to-hand combat capabilities, the Ming army stationed on the hill was no match for the Qing army at all. As long as they got closer, the Eight Banners soldiers would slaughter the Ming army like a slaughter of melons and vegetables.

"Run!"

"Kill it!"

"As long as you get close, Hangou will not be our opponent!"

"Crash! Kill the dogs!"

"Kill all the Han dogs and capture the fake Ming prince alive!"

"Catch the pseudo-Ming princess and let the brothers enjoy it!"

Seeing victory in sight, the fierce Manchu Eight Banners soldiers were reluctant to retreat. They were like a group of crazy beasts, howling, rushing towards the chest wall covered with bullets, arrows and smoke.

"Go!" Zhao Peng roared and personally led a thousand three-eyed gunmen to the top.

The Qing army was only more than ten steps away from it. In addition to the difficulty in moving around the mountains, the bird gunner and the Lumi gunner were unable to make the last round before the Qing army approached him in a short period of time. Therefore, Zhao Peng personally led the 1,000-eyed gunners to the top, delaying the Qing army's time to ensure that the bird gunner and the Lumi gunner in the trenches could load the last round of shooting.

The two sides were only five steps away, and the Eight Banners of Manchuria all pulled their step bows and took heavy arrows. This kind of archery that was sloppy within five steps was the unique skill of the Eight Banners of Manchuria. With this unique skill, they had been successful in fighting with the Ming army before. With a close round of armor-breaking heavy arrows, they often shot the Ming army down, and the next thing was to draw their swords to chase them.

The smoke gradually dissipated. Just as the Eight Banners of Manchus were placing their bows and preparing to shoot arrows, they were shocked to see that a row of Ming troops stood above the trench about five steps away from him, with flames spreading all over the city, and thousands of three-eyed guns aimed at him.

"Madman!" Zakana roared with gritted teeth.

Zhakarna was the grandson of Shurhaqi. In the 12th year of Chongzhen, he followed Dorgon to invade and plunder, conquering Gaoyang, resulting in the death of Sun Chengzong and his family. He went south to conquer Zhuozhou, Julu, and killed Lu Xiangsheng; he attacked Jinan in the east, killed Zhang Bingwen, and captured King De alive; in the 14th year of Chongzhen, he followed Huang Taiji to attack Jinzhou and captured Hong Chengchou, which was a great military achievement. Later, in the seventh year of Chongde, he drank with Ajige during the funeral of Hailanzhu, and was demoted by Huang Taiji, and his royal family was deposed. After Huang Taiji's death, Dorgon released him. This time, the Qing army entered the pass, so Dorgon would naturally not forget to bring this powerful general.

Although Zakhana had excellent martial arts skills, he knew that the three-eyed guns could kill people at such a close distance! Many Qing soldiers looked down on the Ming army's three-eyed guns, believing that it was just a useless thing to make a sound and hear a sound. But it was because the Ming army did not dare to fire guns at close range. The Ming army that the Qing army met before was rushing to set off the three-eyed guns at fifty steps away.

A three-eyed gun with a range of only about thirty steps will be fired outside fifty steps, so it will be useless to make a sound. But once you enter within twenty steps, the three-eyed gun can kill people. When you enter within ten steps, the three-eyed gun can break the armor!

The bows and arrows in the hands of the Eight Banners of Manchus shot dense arrows within five steps. At the same time, the three-eyed gunmen of the Ming army also stabbed the burning fuse into the fire gate.

The rain of arrows pierced into the Ming army's three-eyed gunmen crowd, screaming repeatedly, and a large area of ​​Ming army was caught in the face and fell backwards; at the same time, dense bullets also pierced into the crowd of the Eight Banners of Manchus. The shooting within five steps almost opened fire against the Qing army's face. The bullets smashed the Qing army's face and pierced the eyes. The Qing army's brain burst and arrived in pieces.

More than half of the 1,000 three-eyed gunmen led by Zhao Peng himself fell down. The remaining more than 400 three-eyed gunmen continued to pierce the fuse into the fire gate and fired the remaining two rounds of projectiles one after another.

Fires burst, gunfire filled with smoke, and guns roared. More than 300 Eight Banners heavy armored dead soldiers and more than 1,000 Manchu archers who rushed to the Ming army fell down, almost half of them!

The Eight Banners Heavy Armored Dead Soldiers, holding a heavy shield in their left hand and a shook the sword in their right hand, and slashed and slashed towards the Ming army's three-eyed gunman. Although the King's three-eyed guns could be used as a hammer to hit people, the sound of these guns was almost starved to death not long ago. When facing the killing of the Eight Banners Heavy Armored Dead Soldiers, they had no ability to resist. They shouted, and they threw down the three-eyed guns that had been fired after the ammunition and turned around and ran away.

Zhao Peng moved very quickly and jumped back into the trench before the three-eyed gunman was defeated.

At this time, the Ming army's bird gunner and Lumi gunner had already loaded. Zhao Peng made a quick decision and shouted: "Let it go!"

The sound of the roaring gun sounded again, and the bird gun and the Lumi gun were almost ignited against the bodies of the Eight Banners soldiers. Within three steps, various muskets sprayed out flames. Whether it was the Eight Banners heavy armored dead soldiers or archers, they were all wrapped in smoke and fire. The bullets penetrated their faces, penetrated through the back of their heads, pulled out blood lines with blood and brain matter, and flew out from the back of their heads.

The three-eyed gunmen who had no time to escape were also hit by the projectile and fell into a pool of blood.

If you want to become a great man, you must be tough. Zhao Peng delayed the attack of the Qing army with his three-eyed gunman to ensure that the bird gunman and Lumi gunman behind could complete the loading. After the bird gunman completed the loading, he immediately made a quick and close-range shooting, regardless of the fact that more than 200 three-eyed gunmans had not retreated, he shot his soldiers and the Qing soldiers in front of the position.

After the last round of shooting, the bird gunners and the Lumi gunners dropped their weapons, turned around and ran up the mountain. The Qing soldiers kept shooting arrows from behind, shooting the bird gunners who had no time to run back one by one on the hillside.

The sacrifice of a thousand three-eyed gunmen, plus more than five hundred bird gunmen, resulted in more than 1,200 casualties from the Eight Banners of Manchus. They killed 800 enemies and lost 1,000 themselves. However, such an exchange ratio is still cost-effective. How many people can the Eight Banners of Manchus have? If a small tribe with only 200,000 people can hurt them in every battle, how could the Qing army steal the world of China?

"Run to both sides, do not rush into the Jinyiwei formation! Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!" Zhao Peng shouted.

Dozens of bird gunners who were in a panic hit the Yuanyang formation of the Jinyi New Army and were immediately nailed to the ground by the spear in the Jinyi New Army without hesitation! The other bird gunners no longer dared to rush the Jinyi New Army to the Jinyi New Army to the front, but scattered to both sides.

The defeated bird gunman scattered to his wings, revealing the neatly formed Jinyiwei formation in the middle.
