Chapter 201: Fleeing in a panic
Wu Sangui and Nikan held up a telescope and looked at An** in the distance. Their hands and feet became colder, especially the traitor Wu Sangui, who couldn't help but tremble all over.
It is human nature to seek profit and avoid harm. It is inevitable that someone will punch and dodge it. Even if you charge to the death, you will still avoid it when you see the other party’s bow and arrow shooting.
As an elite force, it is already quite amazing to be able to move forward bravely and not step backwards. Both in the Ming army and the Qing army are all second to none.
But at present, these people not only faced the impact of artillery fire, but also remained unchanged at all. The team was chopping the sword and chopping the axe in an orderly manner, with a uniform pace and a sound.
Even if the shells landed beside them, they would continue to move forward as long as they could still stand, without any impact. Even if the friends beside them lost their heads, their arms and legs were blown away, and they were crying sadly, they were indifferent, like a group of machines, constantly moving forward and moving forward!
Wu Sangui clearly saw that not only the army, but also ordinary civilians were well-trained. After seeing the soldiers being hit, the medical soldiers and civilians carried stretchers and rushed over quickly from the gaps in the team, carrying the wounded soldiers away. Everything was well organized and not at all confused.
The three groups of An** were divided into left, middle and right, like three huge fists, hitting Wu Sangui. It was silent, but the pressure was amazing.
Wu Sangui has been on the battlefield for many years, and even the most elite Eight Banners soldiers did not impose such oppression. Before the two armies had exchanged fire, Wu Sangui knew that he would definitely lose. He even lost the courage to resist!
escape!
A most undesirable emotion actually spread in the heart of the traitor. Wu Sangui shook his head hard, but his fear was that he could not be cleared.
In fact, it was not just him. Even Nikan was like this. The Qing army was known for its bravery, and the Eight Banners were the Tartars, the biggest ace.
But to be honest, the Eight Banners are a very fragile army. They dare not bear death, not to mention ten percent, or even twenty percent. They can’t stand it if they lose about five percent. Usually, if one or two hundred people die, the Qing army will run away.
Their biggest advantage is the war horses. Compared with the Ming army, they can fight if they want to fight, and they can escape if they don’t want to fight!
This kind of bravery that comes from boasting, facing the army made of real steel discipline, is like a fake ghost meeting Li Kui. He must be afraid!
"King Pingxi, tell me clearly whether the Han people have any medicine that confuses their minds so that they can make people fearless!" Nikan rushed to Wu Sangui and roared loudly: "I don't believe it, I don't believe there is an army stronger than the Eight Banners Warriors in the world!!"
"kill!"
When Nikan roared loudly, An** had already passed the most dangerous shelling area, less than a hundred steps away from the Qing army.
The first round of volleys was fired. The hot lead balls quickly hit the Qing army, with hatred and ruthless shooting. The Qing army, who had been scared for a long time, had no courage to fight back and fell down in pieces.
For the first time in his life, Qi Hanyuan faced a real enemy and shot it out with a shot. He clearly saw the other party's chest explode, and a fist-sized hole appeared, and the things inside exploded all over the sky. The guy fell to the ground with surprise and fear.
In an instant, Qi Hanyuan's heart was finally released, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
No one is steel, no one is not afraid of death. The difference is that rationality and intelligence cannot control themselves! From the first day of joining the military camp, they have been receiving obedience training and instilling team spirit. They are not an independent group of people fighting, but a member of a glorious team.
In everything, you should not only care about your own life and death, but also consider the safety of your team. Only when the team can be kept can they protect themselves to the greatest extent!
It sounds easy, but it is harder to do. As we were moving, Qi Hanyuan's calves became weak many times, and his legs seemed to be frozen, and he tried desperately to turn back and run away.
After all, no one has the courage to face death, especially when seeing the brothers constantly being injured and dying, this thought becomes stronger and stronger!
However, the powerful training finally played a role. Many new recruits walked with their legs filled with lead and mechanically entered the range, shooting deadly bullets at the Qing army!
Facts have proved that team spirit definitely ensures the safety of most people. The Qing army's artillery was limited and the shooting level was also very poor. Seven or eight out of ten shells were empty, and the price An** paid was only about two hundred casualties.
If you run around in order to survive for a while, the casualties might be even more shocking. And what is even more deadly is that after the formation is messed up, the powerful cavalry of the Qing army can play a role.
In the field, the musket soldiers lost the protection of their queues and faced the cavalry with a plate of food. Life and death fell into the hands of others. At that time, countless people were about to die.
Through this short attack, the education received by the soldiers may be more important than half a year of military training. Something called discipline is deeply imprinted in everyone's heart and entered the depths of their bones.
The time for tragic sacrifice has passed, and it is time to give death to the Qing army!
"Second Tartars, die!"
After a row of bullets was fired, the soldiers did not care about checking the results of the battle and retreated one after another. The soldiers behind immediately followed up, and the bullets almost never stopped.
Qi Hanyuan had already loaded the second lead ball. The musket he used in his hand was An**'s latest product. The barrel was directly wrapped in cooked iron on the steel core.
These new muskets load more and have a larger amount. Every time they fire, the recoil is shaking. However, Qi Hanyuan likes this real feeling very much.
As soon as the shot was shot, the particle of gunpowder pushed the lead ball, changing its shape constantly, like a big cake, hitting the enemy's body hard. The huge kinetic energy smashed the armor, penetrated the flesh and blood, shattering the heart and lungs, and chiseled blood holes on the flesh and blood body.
Qi Hanyuan's shot hit the shoulder of a leader, and his arm was blown away, and his collarbone was broken and all the broken bones flew everywhere, embedded in his neck, blood flowing out, and half of his body was blood-red. The guy struggled twice, and fell heavily to the ground like a kite with broken strings.
"Prince, send reinforcements quickly. The musketeers can't stop it!" Chen Kun said anxiously.
Indeed, since the charge, the musketeers have suffered heavy blows, suffered heavy casualties and were beaten back by An**. They originally wanted to shake their majesty with the cover of artillery.
As a result, An** was more fierce than them and more cruel than them, and he rushed up directly. The group of people suddenly became brave and had lost the courage to resist.
Under a round of gunfire, four or five hundred people were killed or injured. The remaining musketeers didn't want to continue to attack. They were facing an invincible opponent.
Some people retreat quietly, some people simply force their eyes to shoot, and then run away. The morale of the army is lost and the defeat is every minute and every second!
Wu Sangui could see all this clearly, and the traitor gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat, the entire army retreated to the north of the Wei River!"
"What?" Nikan stared at Wu Sangui as if he didn't hear it clearly.
"King Pingxi, haven't you seen that this group of Han people is particularly fierce. If they are not eliminated, it will definitely become an obstacle to the Qing Dynasty's unification of the world. Do you still want to indulge them?"
Wu Sangui usually obeys Nikan and is particularly respectful, but now, Wu Sangui can't listen to him.
"Master Beile, you can see clearly that An** is clearly a group of steel. How many people are sent to hit dogs, hitting stones with eggs, and seeking death. Wu definitely doesn't want to add credit to Gu Zhenhua!"
"Then, then you can watch An** grow stronger? Do you still have the Qing Dynasty in your heart?"
Wu Sangui also widened his eyes, "Of course Wu is loyal to the Qing Dynasty, but I am not stupid enough to seek death. For the sake of the present, if you want to deal with An**, you must have more artillery and more powerful firearms, as long as you can defeat them. Otherwise, Wu will fight all his troops, which will only make An** stronger faster!"
Just as the two of them were arguing, Gao Hongtu was already rushing up with the artillery, but this time the one who took the lead was not the cannon, but the Divine Fire Flying Crow!
Of course, Gu Zhenhua also equipped a large number of these cheap firearms. Compared with the city guard version equipped by Guo Yunlong, Gu Zhenhua's field version increased its mobility and placed it in a side van with a launch groove on the carriage.
During combat, as long as the bottom plate is clamped, aimed at the direction, and ignite it directly, it can launch the Divine Fire Flying Crow. In addition, a sideways can release two or three pieces at the same time, or even four or five pieces at the same time!
The overwhelming divine fire crow rushed towards the Qing army. Suddenly, balls of flames burst out from the Qing army's positions. The flames were accompanied by the thick smoke, and the soldiers could not see clearly, and there was thick smoke everywhere. The more they could not see, the more scared these people were and the more they ran around.
As a result, while running away, the Divine Fire Crow exploded beside him, and the shrapnel cut the flesh and blood and the body was smashed. In the warhead, there were also many pieces of broken iron and small nails hidden. These things were all soaked in feces, and they were all very toxic.
As long as they are injured, even if they don’t die at that time, they will be infected sooner or later. With the medical level of the Qing Dynasty, most of them will either die or be injured. More and more Qing soldiers fell in pools of blood, and their parents screamed.
More Qing troops finally couldn't bear it anymore, threw away their weapons and ran away with their heads in their arms.
Even Wu Sangui, who was watching the game behind, could no longer bear it. He turned his horse's head and hurriedly ran away with his subordinates. Nikan stomped his feet hard and ran away.
As soon as he ran away, the Qing army completely collapsed and fled one by one, like a group of chickens and ducks waiting to be slaughtered! (To be continued...)
