Chapter 121: Huang Taiji, who began to doubt his life

Countless sharp arrows shot over, and many of the soldiers in the cavalry battalion were instantly shot and fell down, but the advancement was not reduced by a little.

Therefore, the soldiers' fighting will became even stronger, and they would start killing directly once they approached the Tartars that were forcing the people to move forward.

A fake Tartar who was pulling a knife from a young woman's body had not had time to close the knife, and his head disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Other fake Tartars also made a dead soul under the knife before they could be expected.

Seeing that these fake Tartars who were forcing the people to advance were about to be defeated, Duoduo and Abatai rushed up immediately with their armored soldiers.

These people all had large arms and round waists, and were strong in body, but just as they showed their courage, the infantry who had already followed the cavalry battalion rushed up.

And as soon as the cavalry battalion was carrying the people back, they immediately lined up in three rows to shoot at the approaching Tartars.

The crackling bullets left blood holes on the whistling Eight Banners Tatars. Not long after, these Eight Banners Tatars were shot and turned over.

However, Dodo and Abatai did not order to retreat, but continued to rush and shoot arrows to fight back.

But the soldiers in the infantry battalion obviously fired much faster than these Tartars, and they were shot and fell before they could reach a single arrow.

The first battalion fired, the second battalion loaded, the third battalion cooled the flintlock rifle, and the third-line soldiers were replaced in an orderly manner.

Once a soldier falls to the ground, the soldiers from the baggage battalion will immediately come and carry them back, and at the same time, the soldiers from the baggage battalion will go to the substitute.

Although such continuous shootings were not supported by trenches, they made the Tartars unable to approach except for the casualties.

Abatai and Duoduo both stopped at the same time, and continued to rush towards the left and right at the same time.

The soldiers of the third battalion retreated quickly, and at the same time, the artillery battalion on Fu Dahai's side also began to show its power. Abatai's horse was stabbed to death by an iron piece, and he himself fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Abatai was extremely brave and turned around and got on another fierce horse.

But the other Eight Banners Tartars were not so lucky. In the face of artillery fire, many Tartars fell directly to the ground.

Under the cover of artillery, the infantry battalion and cavalry battalion, along with tens of thousands of people, retreated into the dense forest, but at this time the Tartars were still rushing towards here as if they were desperate.

The sound of iron hooves became more and more rapid, like a giant drum, shaking the earth and the mountains were shaken. Some people were panicked and wanted to drill in, but the soldiers in the baggage battalion drew their knives. After all, this was the important place where His Majesty was, and no one could get close to them.

Not long after, the Tartars appeared a hundred steps away, and Chang Yanling immediately shouted: "Fight!"

Suddenly, countless projectiles were shot out, and the attack speed of the Tatars, which could not be defended, was once again stagnated. However, at this time, when the Eight Banners Tartars were charged, the Han and Mongolian cavalry behind them also began to shoot arrows and fight back. The countless arrows were raining in the Tartars trenches, making it impossible for the first infantry battalion to raise its head.

However, the cavalry battalion also began to sprint out and fight with these Han and Mongolian cavalrymen.

Using cavalry against archers and firearms against cavalry, this is the current tactics of the Imperial Guard. Cavalry is faster than archers. Firearms can continuously strike cavalry and delay the attack speed of cavalry. In this way, the Tartars have to pay more than ten casualties for every 1 meter of advance.

Although the Tartars were brave, they could not resist such fierce battles. Huang Taiji wanted to give up. He was unwilling to bring all his Eight Banner Warriors in for Zhu Youxiao. Fortunately, his Zhenghuang Banner had not been dispatched much.

At this time, the storm suddenly changed, and dark clouds came. Huang Taiji, who was about to call for the gold to withdraw his troops, couldn't help but be happy: "Sahalian, you will take another two thousand armored soldiers and rush up! When the heavy rain comes, I will see how these Ming soldiers use firearms."

The roar and thunder began to sound, and the lightning illuminated the dark forest, which began to become lit up, and the soldiers of the Imperial Guard were still fighting with the Tartars in front.

Suddenly, a storm was about to come down, and both sides stopped in an instant, and they looked up at the sky at the same time.

Duoduo, Abatai and others laughed. Yes, the fighting spirit of the Tartars was once again ignited. It was raining heavily, and the enemy's firearms were no longer useful.

Chang Yanling and others also laughed. The heavy rain not only increased the chance of ammunition getting wet, but it did not affect their shooting at all.

"Continue to fight!"

The flintlock rifle was still emitting anger. Due to the strong wind, the aiming impact caused by the burning of black gunpowder decreased a lot. Although the shooting density decreased due to the interference of rain, the accuracy of the close range was greatly improved. The infantry soldiers of the three battalions still used crossfire to attack the Tartars.

Huang Taiji also came to the front-line battlefield like Zhu Youxiao. The two were less than a hundred steps apart, and they could even see each other's faces clearly.

With a dark face, seven feet long, a big mouth, and a slight narrowed eyes, this was the first time Zhu Youxiao saw Huang Taiji.

He took out his iron box without hesitation.

Similarly, Huang Taiji also took out his strong bow.

Both sides also have their own troops ready to use their bodies to resist.

Bang!

Zhu Youxiao fired the gun, and Huang Taiji also shot an arrow, which cut through the sky and was cut by Qin Botong with a sword.

The high-speed rotating bullet also deviated due to a strong wind. There was no blood hole on Huang Taiji's forehead. The personal army, who was about to use his body to block the bullet, breathed a sigh of relief. However, at this time, a burning smell of protein came from his tail of money, and the bullet passing by his scalp left a clear scar.

History has not changed at this intersection, but what has changed is Huang Taiji's mood.

Huang Taiji, who suddenly turned from half-baked to a bald man, was also shocked in anger. He didn't know what kind of firearm the small iron box in Zhu Youxiao's hand was, which could hit his own money rat tail. This was teasing, but also threatening and provoking!

"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"

Huang Taiji felt a little afraid. He didn't know how many firearms there were in Zhu Youxiao's imperial guards that could hit people quietly.

He remembered the incident that Ajige was shot and killed by Zhu Youxiao when he was about to capture Zhu Youxiao when he was about to take him back.

While ordering the troops to withdraw, he passed by: "Tell them to find a way to get the Ming army's firearms back."

On this side, Zhu Youxiao was relieved to see the Tatars suddenly retreating. His Imperial Guard soldiers were exhausted after several days of fighting, and the number of reduced personnel began to increase.

But we cannot relax because of this. Night is about to enter, and no one is sure whether the Tartars attacked the camp.

It was dark and in this era without incendiary bombs and night vision devices, firearms would not even play a role at night, and artillery could not achieve precise strikes.

"The cavalry battalion will rest immediately. It will attack the Tartar camp in two hours. The three infantry battalions and artillery battalions will not be allowed to get up unless the enemy attacks and dawn. Let me sleep honestly. The officers and soldiers of the baggage battalions and engineers will immediately enter the position and respond to the Tartars' attack at any time!"

Since it is not conducive to firearm combat at night, Zhu Youxiao simply asked the artillery and infantry to regain their energy first, and at the same time, the baggage battalion with light combat missions during the day was responsible for defense.

At the same time, the engineers also participated and let Qin Botong be in full command. Zhu Youxiao was also tired and needed rest.
