The Hui army did not even see the shadow of the enemy, and in an instant, they were killed and wounded.Those who rushed to the front hurriedly turned around and retreated, and the team fell into chaos.The gunfire showed no sign of stopping, and the Hui army had been raging in Shanxi for so long and had never encountered such a strong opponent.No one in front of them had ever seen the power of foreign guns, and they thought that the mountain in front of them had been enchanted by the Han people, and if they got closer, they would be hit by an unknown object."
Don't mess up, Allah bless us in heaven, and those who want to go to heaven will rush with me."
There was a big man in the team who straddled the war horse, waved the steel knife in his hand, slapped the horse and shouted, and rushed towards the front without fear.When the people around heard this, their emotions calmed down a little.The daring cavalry also flapped their horses and roared and rushed ahead after him.Zhang Xian looked at the cavalry with a telescope, and did not shoot in a hurry, but put them into a distance of two hundred meters before waving the order flag in his hand.The Hui cavalry, led by the generals, almost poured out, they were only temporarily organized troops, and the formation of the rushing troops was obviously scattered and completely unorganized.As soon as he rushed into a distance of 200 meters, he was instantly overturned by a person hit by a bullet flying from a distance.This group of believers in Allah thought that they would really be resurrected in a few days, and they were not afraid of death at all, facing the rows of cavalry in front of them to fall, and the subsequent cavalry still rushed up.But no matter how you hit, you can't get within a hundred meters.The number of dead and wounded increased, and corpses covered the entire mountain road, blocking even the already not wide road.The whining of the horns of the ox finally sounded in the returning army after the thousands of cavalry fell.Only then did the Hui people realize that perhaps the road ahead had been cursed by the devil, and all the Hui troops retreated at the same time, encamping in a slightly more spacious village ten miles away.Zhang Xian's task was to be ordered to block the attack, and this small mountain bag was the only way for the Hui army to reach Taiyuan Mansion, so after the Hui army retreated, Zhang Xian did not order the pursuit, but just let his brothers wait for the battle, save ammunition, and hold on until Wang Shijie's large army arrived.Wang Shijie made a little supplement in Lu'an Mansion, and without leaving a moment, he led the army to the north.Along the way, the wind and clouds were swept away, and many small units of the returning army were resolved.At this time, the small group of Hui troops gathered from four miles and eight towns can continue to move closer to the army in the north, Wang Shijie just caught up behind, without saying a word, regardless of men, women and children, as long as they are dressed as Hui people, they can be killed on the spot.What he saw and heard along the way has made Wang Shijie's heart as cold as a rock, after leaving Lu'an Mansion, he did not see a complete village on the road, either all of them were slaughtered by the Hui army, or they left their hometowns and did not know where to flee.All the generals of the Hui army camp gathered together, holding a dilapidated map that I didn't know when it was drawn, and constantly pointing at it.After the uprising of the Hui people, they did not form a monopoly scene, but elected an alliance organization, and all major matters were decided by the leaders of the alliance.The most powerful in the alliance are the two surnames of the Ma family and the Mu family, and the one who is comparing on the map is Ma Buqing, the leader of the Ma family."
Marshal Ma, now that we are returning to the army, why do we suddenly order a retreat" Mu Hong, the leader of the Mu family, sat on the side and shouted unhappily, obviously very dissatisfied with the retreat just now.He is also the oldest in the league, so he speaks with the most confidence, and always has a loud and irritable voice."
Daddy Mu, if my guess is correct, the weapons used by the Han people on the hillside in front are foreign guns, and the range is still outside our bows and arrows, so we can't fight hard, we have to find a way."
Ma Buqing analyzed Mu Hong coldly, and he could see the situation in front of him clearly on the high ground.It is worth mentioning that Ma Buqing also went to northern Shaanxi with several young clansmen to participate in the riot last year, and when the 18th battalion of Shaanxi Hui was completely wiped out, Ma Buqing fled back to Shanxi."
What's wrong with foreign guns and foreign guns, our people are all protected by Allah, and the soldiers of Lu'an Province do not also have foreign guns, and they are not yet beaten by us, so we have to make a heart, and we must go by the spirit of dying for Allah, then we will definitely be able to wipe out all this Han people."
Mu Hong scolded indignantly, completely ignoring the life and death of Hui people, because he believed that all those who were loyal to Allah would be resurrected after death."
Daddy Mu, now is not the time to talk angry, just now our Ma family's most elite cavalry attacked twice in a row, with thousands of casualties, but they didn't even see the enemy's face.We should think of a way, and we must not fight hard here. ”Ma Buqing was in awe that Mu Hong was an elder, and his tone was always very soft, and he did not refute loudly."
Then what do you say" Mu Hong spread his hand and raised his forehead at Ma Buqing."
Father Mu, don't you still have more than 500 musketeers in your Mu family, plus more than 2,000 musketeers in our Ma family.As far as I can see, there are more than 1,000 enemy troops ambushed on the hillside, and we will use muskets against muskets, and we will definitely break through the defense line and take the entire hill in one fell swoop. ”Ma Buqing suggested to Mu Hong, and when they attacked the county seat, they caught a lot of good things in the arsenal of the county government, including old-fashioned bird guns, flintlock muskets, and a large number of bows and arrows.When he was in northern Shaanxi, he also saw the method of arranging the troops of the Qing army, and naturally had some experience in the use of muskets.Mu Hong was silent, at the beginning he still thought of using these five hundred musketeers as his personal guards, but now he sees that there is only this way left."
Daddy Mu, don't worry, if our Ma family sends out another 3,000 archers, they will definitely break the enemy's defensive position, and when the time comes, these Han people will all skin and cramp to pay tribute to the souls of their dead brothers in the sky."
Ma Buqing slammed his fist on the table with his right hand, Mu Hong looked at his confident look, couldn't help but be moved, and agreed to Ma Buqing's request.The attack was under the unified command of Ma Buqing, and after the musketeers gathered, the archers were also ready.Ma Buqing immediately rushed to the front line with 5,000 soldiers and launched an attack when he was 500 meters away from the position of the Qing army.He also saw the method of using foreign spears from the Hui army in northern Shaanxi, dividing the 5,000 men into two parts, east and west, and arranging five rows together, three rows of foreign spearmen, and two rows of archers.Keeping a fairly neat line, he rushed up the hillside with muskets and bows and arrows.Zhang Xian held the binoculars and looked at the dispatch of the Hui army under the mountain, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he ordered all the soldiers to put the Hui army within two hundred meters before fighting.Because the Hui people used old-fashioned breech guns, as well as a large number of bird guns and the like, although the formation was neatly impacted, in front of the expeditionary rifles, it was like a live target.Expeditionary rifles can cause severe damage within a range of 500 meters, but breech guns only have an effective range of about 200 meters, and because there is no crosshair, it is not known whether the bullets will deviate from the trajectory when they are fired.It was only by relying on the dense array of guns that he could barely hit the target."
Yo, that's good, the Hui people even have foreign guns, and it just so happens that this group of rabble is practicing their hands."
Zhang Xian snorted coldly, anyway, he didn't worry about the people rushing up.Therefore, when the Hui people rushed within 200 meters, there was still no movement."
Bang, bang, bang" The first to fire was the Hui foreign spearmen, rows of foreign guns shot out from their backs, and at the same time, bursts of arrows appeared behind the foreign spearmen, covering the entire hillside.Ma Buqing watched this battle from a distance, the corners of his mouth couldn't help sneering, and he secretly said in his heart, "It seems that the enemy is not as powerful as he imagined." ”The mutation occurred here, and it seemed that the bullets flew out intensively, but none of them hit the body of the Qingzi army.Because the Qing Army uses the latest expeditionary rifle, it only needs to pull the bolt to complete the reload, and there is no need to half-squat to release the gunpowder and lead bullets, and you have to stab it with a whole strip when it is over.Therefore, no one was injured in the Qingzi army hiding in the bunker in the trench, but after the foreign spearmen and archers rushed nearly a hundred meters, there was a sudden gunfire on the hillside, and the sound of the bullets burst out was several times louder than the foreign guns used by the Hui army.
It was harvested.At this time, the archer watched the foreign spearmen in front of him fall one by one, and instead of flinching, he revealed his bloodthirsty nature, roaring and climbing up quickly.They knew in their hearts that they only needed a distance of sixty or seventy meters to reach the effective range of the bow and arrow, and they were all the elite forces of the Ma family, so they naturally had no fear of life and death.But this wave was also quickly broken by the rain of bullets on the opposite side, and when the attack was sixty meters away, there were only more than 100 people left, and finally all of them shot upwards with full bows.Before the more than 100 people could see the rain of arrows falling, they were all beaten into pulp by bullets.When he finally lay down, his eyes were round, and he found that the bow and arrows fell about ten meters in front of the enemy, and no one was killed."
I can't help myself."
Zhang Xian looked at the corpses all over the ground on the hillside and snorted coldly, Qiao Zhiqing had just sent the expeditionary rifle to the hands of the new Second Division, so Zhang Xian had only seen its power in training, and this actual battle really opened Zhang Xian's eyes.This rifle is a hundred times more powerful than the original breech gun, not only increased in power, but most importantly, it is convenient for defense, and does not need the cooperation of dense gun formations to make up for the gap in reloading.In this way, you can fully give full play to the advantages of individual combat, as long as there are enough bullets, you can defeat one enemy hundred.Ma Buqing's resentful eyes in the distance were about to erupt into flames, but the three thousand archers had worked hard to select from the mass graves, and it only took half an hour to match them all on an inconspicuous hillside, and the most hateful thing was that they couldn't hurt a single enemy."
Where the hell did this troop come from," Ma Buqing's brows were almost all clustered together
