362 Blood River 2

Finally, a Tartar soldier stumbled and rushed away the white smoke and touched the shore north of the Qinghe River.

This lucky armored soldier only stayed on the shore for less than ten seconds, and was stabbed by several spears extending from behind the fence at the same time.

The armored soldier let out an inhuman howl, and the tip of the gun was retracted, and he fell back into the river with another pounce.

More Tartar armored soldiers rushed to the ashore, but at this time their formation was extremely sparse and they could not form a battle formation at all. A few of the bravest soldiers were still waving their weapons to fight the enemy, but most of them just followed behind the former in a daze. At least half of the armored soldiers had discarded their weapons in the river, and some people were even tortured by close-range gunshots and cigarette removals, almost mentally collapsed.

On the north bank, the Ruishi and the Divine Armed Forces Musketeers, who were waiting for battle, assassinated the enemy who came ashore with spears and bayonets. The light of sharp blades continued to flash above the wooden fence, as fatal as the venomous snake's letter.

The first batch of armored soldiers who even failed to gain a foothold were all stabbed back by the tips of guns and bayonets. The river bank was soon covered with Tartar corpses, and blood kept pouring out of the wounds and pouring into the river, dyeing the north bank of the Qinghe red.

Taking this opportunity, the Army field artillery team transferred 6 4-pound general artillery pieces, and at the face-to-face distance, a double shotgun volley was fired at the Tartars, who could not avoid in the river.

More than 1,000 leads weighing 5 cents swept across the river amid the despair screams of the Tartars. The small Qinghe River suddenly added hundreds of corpses. Then the magical armies fired a round of volleys at the enemy, completely shattering the Tartars' attack in one fell swoop.

The remaining Tartars in the river could no longer bear it. They ignored the obstacles of several officers and began to turn around and escape, but they were still in the water, and their speed was still not much different from slow motion.

"Strike back!"

Xu Shiyang saw the opportunity and gave the order, the bronze horn on the Qi army's front turned into a rapid and harsh ticking sound - this was also the charge that Xu Shiyang plagiarized from his previous life. For the Qi army, it naturally also meant the beginning of a full-scale counterattack.

...

After the end of the Yellow River/Canal Defense War, the Qingzhou Army Headquarters and troops at all levels summarized the battle situation and agreed that the Jurchens were not as powerful as they boasted. With firepower support, even militias who only participated in military training during the slack season could stalemate with the Tartars in hand-to-hand combat for a period of time.

If the new army is fully trained, if the force difference is not large, it will even be able to defeat the Jurchen armored soldiers in close combat.

Therefore, the New Army officers unanimously agreed that the New Army did not need to take a purely defensive route against the Tartars, that is, setting up positions should retain entrances and exits suitable for counterattacks.

As long as a few artillery are deployed near the entrances and exits, the Tartars are still unable to break through the New Army's defense line, but these entrances and exits will provide effective assistance to the New Army's counterattack and expand the results of the war.

The fortifications on the north bank of Qinghe River are the product of this guiding ideology: Qi Jun used sharpened wooden guns to insert them into the soil to form a simple fence, and there were ropes and sticks between the wooden guns to reinforce them.

However, in areas suitable for ferrying, every ten meters, a piece of wooden gun is simply buried in the soil. When the new soldiers counterattack, they can easily remove this fence to form small doors for 5 people to line up in and out.

The soldiers of Qi army opened the reserved fence gaps, and the two companies' selection soldiers shouted in unison, raised their shields to cover their abdomen and chest, and stepped on the bodies of the Tartars on the shore to counterattack.

Behind the selection soldiers, the sharp soldiers and the Divine Machinery soldiers left without hesitation and set up positions and followed them into the river.

The river water had a similar obstruction effect to the new army as the Tartars. However, the Jin army on the south bank of the Qing River did not have sufficient firepower to effectively kill and destroy Qi soldiers who were wading against the water.

Wanyan Loushi, who had raised the flag of the commander again, roared and gathered hundreds of armored soldiers, guarding the south bank of the ferry, and shot the Qi soldiers who were gradually approaching with heavy arrows. At the same time, other troops not hit by artillery fire on both wings were stabilized again and began to concentrate on the flag of the commandered soldiers.

Wanyan Loushi can still gather thousands of soldiers, and he thinks he still has a chance to win.

But just after escaping from the river, Wanyan Huo's woman, who was wet, didn't think so: "Master, you can't continue to fight anymore! The Han dog guns are too strong!"

It seemed as if to give an annotation to his conclusion. A row of magical soldiers on the north bank of the river used flintlock rifles to fire the Tartar archers gathered on the south bank. 10 grams of black gunpowder gave the lead bullets a strong kinetic energy, and instantly leaped less than 50 steps away. No well-made armor could resist this cheap lead. The Jurchen archers standing by the river blocking each other fell down a row.

However, the Jurchens' heavy arrows are difficult to pose a threat to the selected front-sellers with comprehensive protection. The shield type of these Qi army's melee soldiers is the same as the Jurchens' equipment. The armor on them is indeed double iron armor with a layer of breastplate on the outside of the chain armor.

Wanyan Loushi glanced at the battlefield helplessly. He had to admit that what his son said made sense. He shot across the river, and the archer was no match for the musketeer at all.

It's not the same level at all, okay!

"The entire army retreated thirty steps, put the Han dog on the shore, and deal with them with a knife!"

There was another round of gunfire on the other side. A soldier next to Wanyan Loushi was shot in the neck and his head flew into the air. Blood from the wound gushed out like a fountain, dyeing half of Wanyan Loushi's golden armor red.

"Retreat fifty steps."

The commander of the Jin army changed his face without changing his expression.

...

The Jurchens actually took eighty steps back, and the fiery firepower on the other side of the river became a little bit tolerant.

According to the new army's own statistics, facing a huge target like the enemy array, the hit accuracy of the flintlock rifle at a distance of 50 steps (calculated by one step equals 15 meters) can reach 60%, and the hit accuracy of the 100 steps will drop to 40%, and the hit accuracy of the distance will drop to 250 steps when the distance is extended to 150 steps.

In fact, this score was obtained on the training ground. Under the influence of various negative effects such as entering the actual combat environment, noisy battlefield situation, enemy attacks, soldiers' tension and other negative effects, the hit rate of the battlefield within 100 steps is nearly half lower than the training ground data, and more than 100 steps, the character required to get hit is more important than shooting technology.

If the target distance exceeds one hundred and fifty steps, firing again is purely a waste of ammunition.

The Jin army retreated eighty steps, plus the original fifty steps of the double-rebellion on the north and south sides of the Qing Dynasty, which exceeded one hundred and thirty steps, which just happened to minimize the threat of the Divine Machine Soldier Musketeers.

After the Divine Armies on the other side of the river fired two rounds in vain, they found that it was meaningless to continue shooting like this, so they stopped firing, erected bayonets, followed their comrades in front and rushed to the south bank of Qinghe.
