Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 281 Fighting Daling River Again 4
The Musketeers of the Tianxiong Army turned a blind eye to the dead line marked by the Houjin Archers, and just stepped on the drums silently and moved forward, as if they were hypnotized.Pairs of boots were raised high, and then dropped heavily, stepping the row of feather arrows tied with red strings into the ground, and the fiery red waves surged forward silently.

Mang Gurtai sneered: "Aren't you afraid of death?" He shouted, "Let the arrows go!"

The whistling sound that makes the soul tremble sweeps across the battlefield, more than 2000 strong bows are opened at the same time, and the extremely sharp arrows are shot out, drawing a slanting arc, and going straight to the musketeer, like slanting rain !The two thousand musketeers didn't even have shields, and they had nothing to cover them. Sharp arrows poured down and shot at their faces, chests, and necks. The soldiers who fell to the ground were clutching their wounds, their bodies convulsed and excruciatingly painful, but no one made a sound.The soldiers in the back row who were not hit by the arrow silently took a step forward, the gap that was shot was immediately filled, and the queue continued to move forward.

Mang Gurtai yelled: "Shoot the arrow, let the arrow go!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh———

Another rain of arrows poured over, swept by like a gust of wind, and the musketeers fell in clusters.Their armor is of good quality and can withstand direct hits from light arrows at this distance, but their limbs, face and neck are not so well protected. Most of the fallen soldiers were shot in these parts of.These two thousand golden archers are indeed well-trained, and they can fire three arrows in a row in an instant. The dense rain of arrows caused heavy casualties to the Ming army.

Zu Dale, Zu Kuan, and Cao Bianjiao all closed their eyes, unable to bear to look at it again.This way of fighting is clearly to let those musketeers die, and it is worthless to die, how can there be such a war!

Incredibly, even so, the brisk drumbeat still does not stop, and the Ming Army musketeers are still advancing silently, the target is always ahead!
The golden archer's eyes widened.

Mangurtai's eyes widened.

Huang Taiji's eyes widened even more.

Abatai, Hauge, Dorgon, Duduo, Jierhalang...these generals of Houjin, whose eyes were higher than their heads, were all dumbfounded.Don't these Ming soldiers know how to be afraid?Don't these Ming soldiers know it hurts?Why were so many people hit by arrows, but no one groaned, and no one even glanced at their fallen comrades?
Facing these musketeers who seemed to have been hypnotized collectively, these famous generals felt a chill rise from the soles of their feet and their fingertips felt cold for no reason!
The Houjin Archer poured out the arrows in his hand at the fastest speed.The Ming army is getting closer and closer, and it is said that the hit rate should be getting higher and higher, but their hit rate is getting lower and lower.It can be seen that they are all panicked and confused. Facing a group of lunatics who don't know what death is at all, no matter how many people fall down, they will not look back and only focus on moving forward. Ruma, it is impossible not to be afraid!
The distance between the two armies was still fifty meters away, that is to say, they had only walked twenty meters forward, and more than 300 musketeers of the Ming army had been shot down, and the loss exceeded one-sixth.Such casualties are really appalling. Let alone two thousand musketeers, even a Ming army of ten or twenty thousand would be in a panic after suffering such a blow. Go forward!

Mang Gurtai lost his composure a little, and shouted sharply: "Use heavy arrows! Use armor-piercing heavy arrows!"

The armor-piercing heavy arrow is the secret weapon of the post-golden archers. It can easily break through the best-quality Shanwen armor of the enlightened army. , They are reluctant to use armor-piercing heavy arrows.Now the musketeers of the Ming army are almost reaching the tip of their noses, so I can't care less!Two thousand archers pulled out thick, long, armor-piercing heavy arrows with slightly trembling hands, and the compound bow was drawn to the shape of a full moon.The heavy armor-piercing arrows whizzed down with great force, piercing through the musketeer's breastplate and helmet. Unfortunately, the musketeer who was hit by the arrow fell down a large area, and the screams of pain finally escaped from between their teeth.The uncontrollable screams let Hou Jin Archer secretly heave a sigh of relief, it turns out that you all know the pain too!
But they stopped laughing right away.Lei Shisheng stomped down heavily, and the horizontal knife resting on his shoulder slashed forward. The waist drummer hit the heavy sound in unison, and more than 1000 musketeers stood at attention at the same time.Now they were only thirty paces away from Houjin, well within the best range of their muskets.Lei Shisheng's voice was unusually calm, but his eyes were bloodshot: "The first team——aiming!"

The first team is always 660 people, no matter how many people they fall, they will be filled by the next two rows.The eyes of these musketeers were also covered with bloodshot eyes. Hearing the order, they raised their muskets in a uniform movement, and blew two breaths on the slowly burning matchlock. It aimed at the Houjin archer who was drawing the second armor-piercing heavy arrow from his quiver, ready to continue killing.

Houjin Archer wants to laugh, so far away, your firecrackers are useful, I am afraid that more of our own people will be killed than us, right?But those cold eyes made them unable to laugh.Niu Lu'erzhen roared: "Let the arrows! Let the arrows! Shoot these Ming dogs to death!" They are not willing to gamble with their lives to see whether their fate is hard or the quality of the Ming army's muskets is excellent!
Unfortunately, it's too late!
Before the golden archer put the second armor-piercing heavy arrow on the bowstring, Lei Shisheng's horizontal knife slashed down fiercely. 660 musketeers pulled the triggers at the same time, and the 660 muzzles with a caliber of nearly [-] mm shot out a large cloud of gunpowder smoke and poisonous snake-like flames at the same time. Hands block the way!The scorching lead bullets will not care about a mere set of cotton armor. The sharp cone-shaped warhead chopsticks pierced through the iron armor leaf and cotton like tofu, tearing flesh and bone, and blasting a handful of blood dust... Blood was splashed in the Houjin arrow array, and screams kept coming and going. The Houjin soldier who was shot wailed and fell to the ground. Blood spurted out from the wound, staining the ground red.

After finishing the first corps, immediately take two steps back, the second corps stepped forward, the muskets leveled, bang bang bang bang bang!The sound of gunfire was almost continuous, airtight, and a bloody mist exploded in the rear golden arrow formation, and then the third corps opened fire, and the smoke and flames flew in the air, and the two rear golden bull flags were interrupted by the flying lead bullets , three cows were shot and fell down, one had a big hole in the abdomen, one was shot in the left shoulder, the shoulder blade was shattered, and the other was shot in the leg. It is hard to say whether it is dead or alive .Three platoons of guns, the latter golden archers consumed more than [-] sharp arrows to inflict damage to the Tianxiong army musketeers, and they have already paid back their principal and interest!After the gunfire stopped temporarily, people were horrified to find that the rear Golden Arrow Array had been beaten to pieces, especially the first row of archers was almost wiped out, the corpses lay on the ground, and the wounded were covering their wounds. Rolling on the ground, let out a heart-piercing wail, blood spurted out from the hideous wound, puddle after puddle on the ground...

Zu Dabi was dumbfounded: "This... this... the battle can still be fought like this!?"

Zu Dale's expression changed: "Scary, scary!"

Mang Gur also changed his face. So many Houjin athletes fell down in the blink of an eye. They have been practicing martial arts and honing their strength since they were a few years old. They started to fight at the age of 16. They suffered so much and fought so hard. They have developed this skill through hard battles, and now, the Ming Army musketeers just hooked their fingers and wiped out their lives!His eyes were blood red and he roared loudly: "Shoot! Shoot them to death! Shoot them to death!"

Mang Gurtai's beast-like roar finally called back the soul of the post-golden archer whose mind was blank, and they realized that the Ming army musketeer was reloading!These red-clothed demons are less than 50 meters away from them. If you can't shoot them to death, then what awaits you will be hot lead bullets!A Niu Lu was really raising his sword, and a terrified retreating bow and arrow head flew out. He roared sharply: "Let the arrows! Let the arrows! Those who retreat die!" Amid the sound, the Houjin archer gritted his teeth, drew out an arrow and shot at the Ming army musketeer, the arrow was like a locust.It's just that they didn't even realize that their movements were deformed due to being too nervous. Some even broke the bowstring with too much force, and the broken tendon slammed into the panicked archer's face, leaving A bloodstain.The musketeers of the Ming army endured the rain of arrows shot like locusts with their flesh and blood. Those who fell fell down, and those who did not fall continued to repeat a set of actions: pouring gunpowder into the medicine room, compacting it, and loading lead bullets , Inserting the matchlock... They did not know that this set of actions had been repeated tens of thousands of times, it was completely an instinctive reaction.The Tianxiong army is also a human being, raised by their parents. It is impossible for them not to feel fear after so many people died, but what is ten times stronger than fear is anger and hatred.Each of their soldiers is from the Daming Road, casually killed or injured, there are their fellow countrymen, cousins, brothers and even father and son among them. They are really brothers who fight tigers. Even a coward would feel angry when people died under Jiannu's arrows like this.This is destined to be a major feature of the Tianxiong Army: when they see blood, their eyes turn red, and they will never die!In history, this tough army like brown sugar once made Li Zicheng, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and other heroes fearful and retreated. It feels like tearing off a large piece of meat, and you can't shake it off.The difference is that the Tianxiong Army in history was poorly equipped. They could only scream and brandish their knives and guns and rushed towards the enemy army against the rain of arrows. But now they are equipped with powerful muskets, separated from the Golden Arrow Array by three Ten steps to shoot!
The efficiency of the latter is not known how many times higher than the former!
puff!
There was a muffled sound from Lei Shisheng's shoulder armor, his right shoulder was in severe pain, and blood gushed out.He turned his head and saw that a sharp arrow had pierced through the shoulder armor, piercing deeply into the shoulder, causing a heart-rending pain.Without saying a word, he chopped off the shaft of the arrow with a single knife, and shouted: "Three rows of salvo!"

At this moment, the three rows of musketeers loaded their bullets. The first row squatted down, the second row half-kneeled, and the third row stood upright. The three rows of musketeers pointed at Hou Jin's arrow array that had been completely beaten by them.The pupils of the rear golden archers shrank, and the black muzzles were like the eyes of demons, which could suck their souls in at any time, making them terrified. Some archers drew their bows but forgot to shoot, and some archers simply Throwing down the broken bow and fleeing, unfortunately, it was too late!

bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang

The gunfire was so intense at this moment that it was impossible to distinguish the points, and only the sound of heavy machine guns firing could match it. More than 1000 muskets fired at the same time, and the erupting smoke and flames almost drowned the musketeer phalanx.The screams and cries of the post-golden archers who had been beaten out of their bodies almost overwhelmed the gunshots. They were like wheat fields blown by strong winds, clusters, layers, and rows. Fall down, and once you fall down, it's hard to get up again.The lead bullet pierced through the entire arrow array with the grin of death, and shot towards the dead soldiers in heavy armor. The rain of bullets swept across, pierced the iron shield, and cracked the iron armor. The dead soldiers of Sauron seemed to be immortal. They also wailed and fell down, facing the pointed-pointed concave-bottomed lead bullets fired from tens of meters away, their encounter was no better than that of an archer who only had a set of cotton armor!

Under the blow of the thunder, two Niulu flags fell down in the rear golden arrow array, and the archers who were shot were layer upon layer, killing and wounding all over the place. The volley shot down more than one-third, and this time, the muskets beat the bows and arrows!
