If Wu Zheng had arrived a moment later, Jingjiangwei would probably have never stood there.

Of course, the Jingjiang Guards would not be wiped out. They fell on the road and injured their arms, and hundreds of wounded soldiers on their legs had moved to the rear.

I said this because Wu Zheng was indeed in time.

This made Jiang Quanyi a charge that was to die and truly a counterattack on the battlefield.

Wu Zheng's troops did not enter the South Gate.

Going from the Jingjiang direction, in order to rush, you can walk in the shortcut direction, in the direction of the East City Gate of Taixing.

When Wu Zheng arrived, the east gate was being attacked by the Qing army.

Jiang Quanyi's troops were leaving the north gate and charging towards the Karkhuhun Central Army.

Blazing flames emerged from the dense barrel, which looked particularly dazzling in the dark.

After easily defeating the Qing army outside the Dongcheng Gate from behind, Wu Zheng immediately divided the team into two, one into the East City and interspersed. He led one directly from outside the city to go north to reinforce Jiang Quanyi's troops.

The Qing army was stunned by the sudden arrival of reinforcements.

After approaching the target, the musketeers first dropped bombs, then squatted down and fired, and then trotted while carrying forward.

It seems to be a chaotic formation, but the layers are clear. It is often one team shooting, the other team drops bombs, two teams interspersed, and then rotated.

The Qing army's flank infantry launched a counterattack against the musketeers, but they were unable to approach the musketeers within fifty steps.

They were all over the dense projectiles and explosive debris.

Karkhun immediately organized a central cavalry of more than 500 people to attack the musketeers.

Unfortunately, the distance at this time was only about 300 steps, about less than a mile.

The range of the flintlock rifle is outside one hundred and fifty steps, which means that the Qing cavalry was already within the range of the musket before it accelerated. With the concentrated shooting of 4,000 musketeers, it is probably not something that these light cavalry only wore leather armor could withstand.

After two rounds of shooting, the cavalry, except for the neighing sound of wounded horses on the ground, no other horse was standing.

Seeing this, Karkhun was also blushed.

He immediately ordered the central army to rush to Wu Zheng Musket Battalion.

A whole square formation, the central army of ten thousand people, was pressed down with a scattered force.

Wu Zheng shouted: "Send the order, retreat and cross-shoot."

Backward cross-fire is a square matrix with horizontal rows as the base, odd numbers are one team, and even numbers are another team.

In other words, after the first row of odd shooting, run back quickly, and a team of even shooting at the same time as cover. After shooting, run back and run to the end of the queue, and then load.

It's the second row of odd shooting, then the even...how to cycle.

This tactic is ineffective against cavalry, but it is very effective against the approach of enemy infantry a hundred steps away.

Basically, each row is shooting uninterruptedly and is also backing back continuously.

During training, the distance of a hundred steps is calculated and the enemy's running time is about twenty seconds. Using this tactic, your formation can retreat nearly sixty steps backwards.

In other words, while maintaining the effective range, the distance of this hundred steps can be extended to one hundred and sixty steps.

The extra sixty steps are enough to allow the musketeers to shoot two more rounds.

This is not counting. When the enemy suffers uninterrupted blows, it delays or even stops its pace.

Therefore, battle is no longer a battle, but a unilateral massacre.

Whenever gunfire sounds, rows of Qing soldiers fall down like broken sacks, which will cause huge shadows to the subsequent Qing soldiers.

When people fight face to face, even if they are at a disadvantage, they can be tolerated, but for enemies that cannot be reached, there is only fear in their hearts.

After paying thousands of lives, the Qing army began to stop and retreat.

Karkhun ordered the killing of several retreating soldiers before stabilizing the formation.

Immediately, Karkhu issued a death order and continued to attack.

Karkhun knew very well that no matter what the musket is now improved, one thing that cannot be refused is that the barrel is hot.

Match rope guns were not uncommon among the Qing army, because of their short range and poor accuracy, and they were easily exploded and were not favored by soldiers.

The burning of black gunpowder is too fast, and the instantaneous expansion of gas makes the poor-quality slotted pipes that cannot bear it, especially after seven or eight shots.

Also, black gunpowder burns, and there will be residues when burning, and if there are too many residues, it will be agglomerated. This is why the fuse is loose and easy to explode.

Karkhun was already in anger. He would rather pile up his life than avenge his revenge today.

He had learned from Chen Zhiyuan that the flintlock rifle only had twelve or three shots, with the limit of fifteen or six times needed to cool down.

Therefore, Karkhun would rather spend thousands more lives than crush the other party into powder.

As long as the Ming army's muskets cannot continue to shoot, the other party will be a pile of meat that can be slaughtered by themselves.

Karkhun's right central army was also moving eastward. This was a decision that even if the left wing was completely destroyed, it would attack to the end.

Qing soldiers jumped or swayed left and right while running, in order to reduce the chance of being shot.

It is not that the font "Z" of later generations has moved forward, but that some smart people spontaneously take it for granted, and then they are imitated by more and more people.

Therefore, the battlefield is always the fastest place to learn things.

Unfortunately, although their move was useful, it was not very effective because they were not aiming, but volleys.

A volley itself has no target, it means winning by quantity.

At the same time, in this way, avoiding being shot invisibly slows down the speed of progress, which further lengthens the distance.

The distance of nearly 100 steps has been lengthened to 200 steps.

The number of rounds of shooting will be two more rounds.

However, as Karkhun expected, the Ming army lost the 14th round after the thirteenth round of shooting.

In fact, Wu Zheng could not fire again in the rules formulated by the military academy for only twelve rounds, and today there is one more round.

After a little hesitation, Karkhun issued an order to detour northwards in the right wing central army and attack the Ming army sideways.

The pressure of Jiang Quanyi's troops was completely reduced, but Wu Zheng's troops increased several times instantly.

The musketeers began to wear gloves because the barrel was hot, and then they installed bayonets on the barrel.

The expression on Karkhun's face began to appear a little glorious, and he ordered loudly: "Roar! Take advantage of the enemy's inability to shoot for the time being...Roar!"

....

Inside Taixing City.

Song An led another musketeer to encounter the Qing soldiers who had broken through the west gate in the center of the city.

The leader of the Qing army was Beizi Aisin Gioro Shangshan, and his father was Aisin Gioro Fei Yangwu, and the eighth son of Shurhazi, Prince Heshuozhuang.

In other words, Shang Shan’s grandfather was Nurhaci’s and his mother’s brother.

This person was originally twenty-nine years old this year, but he didn't have much experience on the battlefield. Although he was brave, he was not good at making plans.

A few years ago, he followed Duoduo to fight against Li Zicheng's army. His only military achievements were that Li Zicheng's army was defeated at that time, leaving more than 300 cavalrymen to block the pursuers of the Qing army, but were defeated by Shang Shan's army. He had no outstanding achievements.

But because they are clan relatives, they came here this time to earn military merits so that they can be in the court in the future.

Therefore, bravery means bravery, and there is less battlefield experience and the necessary ability to weigh the pros and cons for generals.
