Chapter 100 Capture Zakana alive
With excellent armor and excellent shields, the soldiers in the Yuanyang Formation cooperated with each other, so that the Manchu Eight Banners soldiers with extremely high individual force could not play any role in the Yuanyang Formation, just like the Japanese who had extremely high force were assassinated one by one in front of the Yuanyang Formation.
The most threat to the Yuanyang Formation was the firearms in the hands of the Eight Banners Han Army. However, the Manchu Eight Banners soldiers and the Jinyi New Army were both mixed together, and the Wuqi Han Army did not dare to fire casually. They could only find a way to get closer and shoot at close range. However, the Jinyi New Arms firearms soldiers on the high platform behind the Yuanyang Formation were waiting for them.
Just as the Yuanyang formation of the Jinyi New Army resisted the attack of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Jinyi New Army gunners made of craftsmen on the platform were loading shells for generals and large and small guns. They cleared the cannon chambers, loaded them into fixed loading bags, and then stuffed shells with cork support from the muzzle to push the bullet rod to the bottom, then stabbed the iron cone through the fire door, pierced the medicine bag, and then inserted the medicine twist, thus completing the cannon loading work. Then they lowered the muzzle and aimed at the Wuzhen Chaohabird Gunman of the Eight Banners Han Army who was approaching below.
"Let me go!" Zhao Peng shot an arrow, and the heavy arrow shot from a high place flew more than a hundred steps, accurately piercing into the eye socket of a bird gunman in the Eight Banners Han Army. The arrow pierced his skull and came out from the back of his head.
Zhao Peng's arrow means the order of the generals' artillery to open fire.
"Boom boom boom boom" A roaring cannon sounded from the platform. The shells flew out from the platform, passing over the heads of the New Army of Jinyi and the Manchu Eight Banners soldiers of the warring sides. After flying for about a hundred steps, the shells suddenly dispersed and turned into countless pieces and iron beads, scattered into the crowd of bird gunmen of the Eight Banners Han Army like a storm.
A heart-wrenching scream suddenly sounded from the Eight Banners Han soldiers. The iron beads and broken iron pieces fell down all the Qing soldiers in front who were carrying bird guns to aim and shoot.
This kind of shell is a shroud projectile. Unlike ordinary shotguns, when the scroud projectile flew out of the muzzle, it was still an iron ball. It flew about a hundred steps in the air before it exploded in mid-air and turned into a sock projectile and plunged into the target crowd.
The shrapnel bullet is actually made of thin iron sheet to create hollow iron balls. The iron ball is filled with iron beads. There is a hole at the tail of the iron ball that allows gunpowder gas to pour in. Then the cork bullet holder is fixed at the tail of the shell, and there is also a hole on the cork bullet holder. After the shell is fired, the gunpowder gas pushes the shell forward, and it also pours into the shell from the tail of the shell, heating the air inside the shell, causing the shell to expand violently. After flying for a period of time, the shell that cannot withstand the pressure explodes and releases the iron beads inside.
Because it is not the kind of shotgun that is directly sprayed from the muzzle, but the shrapnel that explodes in mid-air after flying a hundred steps, this kind of shell will not accidentally hurt the people under the cannon when it is fired.
The chamber pressure of the shroud projectile is relatively low and the range is relatively close, but it is about 100 steps closer. The shell flies about 100 steps and then explodes. After the iron beads inside fly out, they can kill targets within 30 steps. Adding up the two can kill targets within 130 steps to within 100 steps in front of the muzzle. However, a simple shotgun has a range of only fifty steps, which is obviously much longer than that of solid artillery shells.
Shotballs with a range of only fifty steps are easily threatened by archers and musketeers when firing; while shrapnel with a range of farther than shrapnel are the biggest nemesis of musketeers. When the dense musketeers encounter shrapnel, they will be knocked down one by one.
"Bang bang bang" The remaining bird gunners of the Han army in the Eight Banners still opened fire. The sound of the guns rang out, and several unfortunate soldiers of the New Army in Jinyi were shot and fell down. However, the formation of the Han army in the Eight Banners after being bombarded by shrapnel was already very sparse, and there were very few bullets fired, which did not cause too much damage to the New Army in Jinyi.
About 30 New Army soldiers in Jinyi were shot and fell down, more than ten of them were killed on the spot, and the rest were injured and fell down.
Although the loss was not large, every soldier of these new army soldiers in the Jinyi Army was the hard work of Zhao Peng. He sacrificed more than ten people when he saw it, and more than twenty people were injured. And I don’t know how many injured people can be cured. It is estimated that at least ten people cannot be cured. After all, the injury of a firearm is much worse than that of a bow and arrow, and the possibility of healing is lower. Seeing his own losses, Zhao Peng felt heartbroken.
The casualties of more than 30 people did not cause the Yuanyang formation of the Jinyi New Army to be in chaos. Someone immediately filled the vacant position of the casualties, maintained a strict formation, and continued to fight fiercely with the Qing soldiers who were fighting in close combat.
Zakana saw the Eight Banners warriors beside him stabbed to death by the Ming army to the ground with his own eyes. He finally felt scared. Only then did he understand the power of the Mandarin Duck Formation. It seemed that the Qi family army had left a deep impression on his elders when the bloody battle of Hunhe mentioned by his fathers was too deep. It was only because of the cannons in Li Yongfang's hand that the Qi family army's Yuanyang Formation was broken. But now, the Ming army formed a formation on the platform on the mountain, and the cannons of the Eight Banners Han Army could not come up, and the bird gunners were bombarded by the Ming army's artillery and suffered heavy losses. Without firearms, the Yuanyang Formation could not be broken by hand-to-hand combat soldiers and archers.
"Go away!" Zakana shouted.
The Man Eight Banners soldiers who could no longer hold on to it turned around and ran away when they heard the shouts. Zakana also mixed in the crowd, trying to flee back to the mountain with fishing in troubled waters.
Zhao Peng finally noticed that there was a guy wearing a big red cloak, paired with a golden helmet and a golden armor, looking very cool. However, this guy was fleeing down the mountain with the defeated Man Eight Banners soldiers. He pulled his bow, put on a heavy arrow, held his breath and aimed at Zakana's back. His fingers were relaxed, and accompanied by the tense sound of the bowstring, the heavy arrow flew out quickly.
The heavy arrow flew about a hundred steps and fell under the action of gravity. It happened to be Zakana's thigh. The heavy arrow penetrated the armor and pierced deeply on Zakana's thigh flesh.
The arrow with barbs pierced Zakana's thigh, causing him to scream in pain and fell to the ground.
Two Goshhas quickly helped the head of the family from left and right, trying to get him down the mountain. However, after Goshhas supported Zakana, he obviously couldn't escape at all.
The chasing Ming army chased after him from behind. The Qing soldiers who had no time to run away were either killed by muskets or stabbed to death by spears. There were fewer and fewer Qing soldiers behind Zakana, and soon he and two Goshha were left at the end.
A Ming army's mandarin duck formation caught up and cut off their retreat. The two saviors were eager to let go of Zakana and waved their swords to kill the mandarin duck formation. As a result, only one meeting, the two sages were all nailed to the ground by spears.
"This is a big fish! Take it down!" Zhao Peng shouted.
Zakana turned around, pulled out the golden sword, and wanted to resist stubbornly. But he was the only one left, facing the Mandarin Duck Formation alone, and it was vulnerable at all. After a while, Zakana was shot in the arm, and the golden sword fell to the ground. Then his legs were stabbed and he knelt softly on the ground.
The Jinyiwei surrounded him and tied up Zakara, who had lost his combat power, and took him to Zhao Peng.
"What a big fish!" Zhao Peng sneered when he saw Zakana's outfit.
The Jinyiwei found a waist card from Zakana and handed it to Zhao Peng.
"Aisin Giorozakana? Not bad! It's a big fish! Unfortunately, there is no Duoduo, Ajige and others are very famous, and they can't even compare to Hauge!" Zhao Peng, a historical novices, only knows that the name Aisin Gioro is quite awesome. Apart from that, he doesn't know what kind of character this Zakana is, but anyway, the one with the surname Aisin Gioro is definitely not a small character.
