The first thousand one hundred and eighty-two chapters savage strike

A series of gunfires passed, and more than a dozen Mongolians who were speeding down instantly fell off their horses. Some of these people were hit by bullets on the spot and died on the spot, while others failed to hit the keys, but they fell to the ground on the galloping horse. In addition, the trampling of the war horses that followed behind them, the ones who survived were extremely weak.

But this was just the beginning. After the first gunfire, another row of gunfire sounded, and then the Mongols who rushed to the front fell one after another. At the same time, several war horses were also hit by bullets, rolling to the ground with a wailing sound, unable to get up.

"Firearms! Firearms! They are not herders!" Bagan was slightly behind, so the two rounds of strikes did not affect him, but the young man who was rushing in front and his friends fell down in an instant, and even the few herders behind fell from the horse without saying a word.

Although Bagen had never been to the battlefield, he was also one of the most powerful warriors in the tribe. At this moment, he could be sure that the people on the other tribes were not soldiers from other tribes at all. Although they were dressed no differently from those of herders, ordinary herders, and even the elite cavalry of Taiji, could not have so many firearms.

"Is it the Ming army?" Countless thoughts flashed through Bagen's mind instantly, and a result finally emerged.

But before he could judge the authenticity of this result, another gunshot sounded. With the gunshot, many herders fell from the war horses like before. Moreover, as the distance was getting closer, there were much more herders falling this time than the previous two times.

After only a few breaths, Bagen lost sixty or seventy people. You should know that their total number was less than four hundred. Before the formal battle, he had suffered such a huge loss. Bagen was extremely frightened, but at this time the speed of the war horses had already increased to a very high level. Bagen and his tribesmen could not turn the horse's head at all, so they could only bite the bullet and continue to rush forward.

Zhang Qi's troops attacked three times in a row. After three shots, he inserted the three-eyed gun directly back into the holster installed on the saddle, and then pulled out another three-eyed gun from the other side.

The three-eyed gun was a firearm that existed in the Ming Dynasty. It was one of the standard firearms of the former Ming army, especially among the cavalry.

As the name suggests, the three-eyed gun has three barrels, which can be fired three times at a time after loading, which is most suitable for use in cavalry units. However, the three-eyed guns in the Ming Dynasty were simple and large in size. Whether they were ranged or power, they could only be said to be barely powerful. Usually, after three rounds of shooting, the cavalry would use the three-eyed gun as a combat weapon, swinging the three-eyed gun cast with pig iron and swing it, so as to use this thing as a hammer-like weapon.

Now, the three-eyed guns equipped by Zhang Qi and his troops are very different from those of the former Ming Dynasty. With the advancement of the Ming Dynasty's technological progress, the development and improvement of firearms by the Ming Dynasty have been in progress. The new firearms equipped by the Ming New Army are an example. The range, power, accuracy and safety are far beyond traditional firearms. In addition, various field guns, siege guns, etc., this is also the reason why the Ming army can dominate the world.

As for Zhang Qi and his three-eyed guns, although the name is the same as the previous three-eyed guns, the shape and structure have been greatly changed. First of all, its size and weight have been greatly reduced. Although it is equipped with three barrels, it is not more than the muskets equipped by ordinary army and is even lighter than the army standard muskets.

Secondly, due to the purification of gunpowder and the advancement of steel materials, the new three-eyed guns are far superior to the previous three-eyed guns in actual use, both range, power and accuracy. Although this weapon is provided for cavalry, it is impossible to launch the right head at the right time and to a static launch. The improved three-eyed guns still have powerful power, and can even achieve the effect of 70% of the standard musket to a certain extent.

This is enough for cavalry, not to mention that because the three-eyed guns were improved and carried and used, each of him and his troops carried two three-eyed guns. After using one, the other can be taken out and used to achieve the maximum effect in the state of war.

When the second three-eyed gun was drawn out, Zhang Qi raised it and shot straight ahead. Now the distance between the two sides is extremely close, and he must complete another round of shooting in the shortest time to ensure that he gains an absolute advantage in the case of short-term handover.

All Zhang Qi brought were elite Ming army. Most of the people in the army were either his old subordinates or he personally selected them from the army. These Ming army can be said to have experienced many battles, and the advantage of the Ming army lies in their firearms. In terms of horse war, even the excellent soldiers selected were not as good as the Mongolians who grew up on horseback since childhood.

Since the advantage of firearms is that the Ming army naturally wants to make the most use and use this advantage. This is the case now.

There were three rounds of shooting again. After the shooting, Zhang Qi inserted the three-eyed gun back and drew out the saber.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was only thirty meters, and such a distance could be said to be a blink of an eye. However, under the attack of the Ming army, the Mongols on the opposite side had suffered heavy casualties. The originally neat charges and confrontations have now become scattered. The remaining Mongols no longer had the fanaticism and urgency of going out to fight before, and were replaced by fear and anxiety.

"kill!"

Zhang Qi shouted fiercely, waved his sword and slashed at the nearest rider. The opponent, who was frightened by the three-eyed gun, was now in a daze and had no time to react in time. When he noticed death, he hurriedly raised his sword and tried to stop him, it was too late. A cold light flashed by, and the Mongolian people screamed and fell off their horses.

The two sides intersected for a moment, and there were screams of screams on the battlefield. After passing by the Mongolian horse team, Zhang Qi immediately turned his horse's head and greeted his brothers for a second charge.

The first charge hit the Mongols with great blows. The Mongols, who had already suffered huge losses under the shooting of the three-eyed gun, poured out a blockbuster under the direct attack of the Ming army. At this time, the remaining nearly 400 Mongols were only more than 200, and many of them were injured.

On the Ming army, the casualties were much smaller. Firstly, it was because the Mongolians were already frightened by the continuous shooting of the three-eyed guns. In addition to frightening, they had already gone five points and were unable to display their original skills at all. Secondly, the equipment of the Ming army was much better than that of the Mongolians. Although Zhang Qi and the others were wearing the same clothes as the Mongolians, they were wearing soft armor. With this alone, the Ming army could reduce many casualties, while the Mongolians died for ten lives when they were hit.
