Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It's no wonder that Hauge is so rare. Although the Qing troops invaded the south several times in the past few years, Dorgon, Abatai, and Azig all suffered heavy losses at the hands of Pang Gang, but Hauge was the only one who had never seen Pang Gang's new fire gun.  Therefore, his understanding of the power of firearms was limited to the firearms battalion that was obedient to King Kong Youde. He even used his previous concepts to measure the power of firearms and believed that the power of firearms was just that.

    Dorgon and the others had suffered a big loss at the hands of Pang Gang, so they were bragging for the Han people to show their helplessness. However, the seven or eight corpses lying in front of them at this moment had already told him at a bloody price that he had paid a bloody price.  The understanding is probably wrong.

    Although Hauge was reckless, he had been in battle for a long time. He took a long breath, forcibly calmed down, and turned around and ordered: "Come here, please pass the order of this king to send out the forward battalion immediately and go forward.  Bring the heads of those Han people in front to me! If you can capture them alive, I will reward you heavily!"

    After suffering a big loss at the hands of Pang Gang, Huang Taiji reformed the army. The original military system of the Qing army was: 1 Niulu for every 300 people, assuming that the Niulu amount is 1 person; 5 Niulu equals 1 Jia La  , assuming that Jia La'e is really 1 person; 5 Jia La is 1 Gushan, assuming that Gushan'e is really 1 person.

    After Huang Taiji ordered the improvement of the military system, he issued an edict stipulating that each team of Jialali should be equipped with a forward battalion. Each forward battalion has two hundred soldiers. The forward battalion should select those who can draw six-power bows before they can be customized.  ; If there is a seven-strength bow, it is very good.  According to regulations, half of the forward soldiers use shotguns and are called shotgun forwards.  There is a captain among the basic vanguard soldiers, and a captain among the shotgun vanguard soldiers. They are all selected from among the vanguard soldiers.  Each flag has six captains and six captains, each leading his own team.  The officer-in-charge of the forward battalion wears the following officer's helmet, with a black tassel hanging from an otter's tail hanging from the top.  The helmets of the forward school and the forward soldiers all have iron tops with red tassels hanging down.  Each of the vanguard soldiers is equipped with a pair of armor, a helmet, a bow, seventy arrows, and a sword.  Each of the shotgun vanguard soldiers is equipped with a firegun.  As well as the corresponding gunpowder and lead bullets, etc.  )

    Although the Manchu people rejected firearms from the bottom of their hearts, the times were progressing. Regardless of whether Huang Taiji and the palace nobles below wanted it or not, after suffering several big losses at the hands of Pang Gang, they had to admit it deep down in their hearts.  , the role of firearms is becoming more and more important, and there is even a trend of gradually replacing traditional cold weapons.  .

    Therefore, Huang Taiji had to order that each of the Eight Banners be equipped with a certain number of firearms.  This was indeed a big blow to the Manchus, who had always prided themselves on their proficiency with bows and horses.

    But the times are progressing, and the weapons in the hands of the army are also developing. This is not dependent on anyone's will. Moreover, with the emergence of Pang Gang in this era, the development of this time and space has become more and more confusing.  , the firearms battalions of the Qing soldiers that were supposed to appear more than a hundred years later are now beginning to appear in advance.

    Soon, a group of two hundred cavalrymen galloped forward on horseback. Half of the group held firecrackers in their hands, and the other half held longbows.  They shouted strangely and rushed forward.

    Five hundred steps away from the Qing soldiers, there were more than a dozen Dahua Ye Bu Shuang riding their horses on a slope and looking coldly at the Qing soldiers rushing towards them. Several Ye Bu Suai were still there.  He calmly loaded the elixir into the Nimi rifle in his hand.  Their expressions did not show any signs of panic. Judging from their expressions, they must be a group of battle-hardened men.

    One of the leaders, Ye Bu, put away the telescope in his hand, nodded, and said: "The Tatars are coming, let's retreat quickly."

    "yes!"

    With the order, more than a dozen Yebu put away their rifles, immediately turned their horses back, and galloped away.

    After a while.  When the two hundred officers and soldiers of the Qing Army's forward battalion came to the slope where the officers and soldiers were standing blankly just now, all they saw was the sky full of dust and smoke and the figures fleeing away from the dust.

    "Bah!"

    One of the Qing army commanders at the head looked at the figure still vaguely visible in front of him and spat, cursing: "These timid Nikans can only hide in the dark and shoot cold arrows. What kind of skills do they have? Do you have the guts to fight with me?"  You die and I live!"

    Looking at the dust and smoke ahead.  A captain behind him asked: "Sir, should we continue our pursuit?"

    The leader said unwillingly: "Of course we have to continue the pursuit. Your Majesty didn't let us come out just to watch the fun. Send the order, and the vanguard will be in front with shotguns. The rest will be behind, and we will all pursue. We must kill those lowly soldiers."  Cut off Nikan¡¯s head!¡±

    "Cha!"

    The rumble of horse hooves sounded again. The two hundred cavalrymen raised their whips and whipped the sitting horses at the same time. The two hundred cavalrymen chased forward again.

    ¡°Boss, those Tatars are coming after us!¡±

    A man who was galloping forward on his horse shouted loudly forward.

    The leader of Ye Bu Shu who was running in the middle looked back. Three hundred steps behind them, a large cloud of dust was raised.Tu, apparently about to be pursued by a large group of cavalry.

    This night-and-night foreign affairs committee member sneered: "Huh, Tatars are Tatars. They don't even know the principle of not pursuing poor enemies. Even if they die, they can't blame others. Come on, stop your horses and let's put a shot in."  Let¡¯s go again!¡±

    Following the order, more than a dozen Ye Bushou stopped their horses, took off their loaded Nimi rifles from their backs, held them in front of their chests, and pointed the black muzzles at the Qing Dynasty who was galloping in front of them.  soldiers.

    After waiting for the Qing soldiers in front to reach a distance of 200 steps, the foreign affairs commission spit out a cold order: "Fire!"

    "Bang bang bang"

    A deep gunshot sounded almost at the same time, and more than a dozen lead bullets as thick as a little finger flew out of the gun barrel. Stimulated by the rifling in the barrel, the Mini bullets spun forward at high speed.

    They cut through the air and made a harsh sound. They were eager to collide with everything they encountered, even if they were shattered to pieces.

    In the charging queue of the Qing soldiers, hundreds of shotgun vanguard soldiers were fighting hard to move forward. These shotgun soldiers were equipped with the latest Qing Dynasty firecrackers. Compared with the old firecrackers in the past, this kind of firecrackers were the first to shoot.  The journey is much further.

    In the past, the Qing army's old-style fire guns were often copied from the Ming army's shotguns, three-eyed guns, spontaneous fire guns and Lumi guns. However, most of the Ming army's fire guns had a problem, that is, their range was too short and their power was too short.  Inadequacy and other reasons.

    This is also the biggest shortcoming of firecrackers in this era. Due to imperfect black powder formulas, air tightness and other reasons, the firing range of most firearms in this era will not exceed seventy steps, and the effective killing distance will not exceed four  Ten steps are not much worse than bows and arrows. This is the main reason why firearms have not been widely promoted.

    But with the arrival of the anomaly Pang Gang, the Mini rifle arrived more than a hundred years ahead of schedule. The Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was stimulated, also vigorously developed firearms. Kong Youde's firearms camp was the best.  prove.

    Huang Taiji also used various means to obtain several Nimini rifles equipped by Pang Gang's army and tried to imitate them. However, after wasting a lot of manpower and material resources, the craftsmen in the Qing army reluctantly announced that weapons such as Mini rifles were definitely not theirs.  Can be copied.  Just the rifling in the barrel is enough to make those skilled craftsmen gray hair, not to mention the high-quality steel used to make the barrel.

    In desperation, Huang Taiji, who had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, could only order the craftsmen to find ways to improve the firing range of the gun. After the Qing army's craftsmen finally referred to the Ming army's firearms, they finally tinkered with the Qing version of the Lumi gun.  .

    Although the shooting process of this kind of fire gun cannot reach the original one hundred and fifty-step shooting process, it can still be achieved in one hundred and twenty steps.  After visiting the demonstration of this kind of firearm, although he found that this kind of firearm still had troubles such as difficulty in loading and ammunition, Huang Taiji ignored it and couldn't wait to order the craftsmen to equip his Eight Banners with this most advanced firearm in the Qing Dynasty.  middle.

    These shotgun soldiers, armed with the latest Qing Dynasty firearms, held their firearms high and galloped on their horses. They were eager to rush behind the enemy. As long as they were within effective range, they would use their firearms to knock down the Han people in front of them.  , to avenge their companions.

    Suddenly, the dozens of Qing soldiers galloping at the front were surprised to find that the Han people who were supposed to be galloping on their horses all stopped and lined up in a row, faintly holding firearms in their hands.

    "No! Those Han people are going to open fire!"

    The face of one of the leaders changed. He had heard about the sharpness of Han people's firearms, but he usually

    Cui Ji always sneered. He never believed that any firearm could reach a distance of more than three hundred steps.  The firearm in his hand is already the best fire blunderbuss in the Qing Dynasty. Its effective shooting range is only seventy steps. There is still at least a distance of about two hundred steps between the two sides. This distance is not enough to hit people, even ants.  It can definitely be beaten to death.

    But now when he saw that the other party was really in a firing posture two hundred steps away, he was afraid. Just as he turned his head and was about to warn his companions to be careful, a low gunshot rang out.

    From the corner of his eyes, the man saw the dozen or so night guns two hundred paces away in front of him emitting a burst of fire, and then a burst of white smoke rose up. After what seemed like a few seconds, they all  The shotgun soldiers who rushed at the front were the first batch of unlucky ones to bear the brunt.

    The commander could clearly see that a cloud of blood mist suddenly appeared on the chest of a shotgun soldier next to him, and then something seemed to explode behind him, with a soft "pop" sound.  A big hole opened, and the shotgun soldier fell off his horse in a daze, and the shotgun in his hand immediately fell to the ground.  Before the Bird Qing soldier who fell to the ground could scream in agony, he was trampled to pieces by the horses that surged up from behind him.

      ¡°Swish, swish, swish¡±

    Because the formation of the Qing army was too dense, the first round of volleys fired by these dozen Ye Bushou caused the casualties of seven or eight Qing soldiers. For a while, it brought a small chaos to the Qing soldiers.
