This Qing is wrong

Chapter 107

After the third round of volleys between the red-clothed musketeers and the Gurkha mercenaries, the general of the Qing army who was in charge of commanding the musketeers woke up.

He overestimated the endurance of his own firearms.

In other words, the general of the Qing army did not expect that the casualties of gunshots at close range in the wilderness would be so terrifying that the veterans of the Qing army could not hold on!

If it weren't for the fact that in the back row there was a whole line of banner-leading Han troops directly under the Pingnan Palace to oversee the battle, the Qing army's musketeers would have collapsed at this time.

However, as the number of deserters whose heads were cut off increased, the formation of the Qing army's musketeers became more and more scattered, and the Qing army generals who were originally confident also fell into a dilemma.

The red-clothed musketeers and Gurkha mercenaries on the opposite side were already at a disadvantage in numbers, and a small part of their troops had to be allocated to encircle and wipe out the Qing cavalry.

The queuing and shooting has continued until now, and there are only a few hundred people left in the red army musketeers and Gurkha mercenaries. It seems that they can be wiped out in just a few rounds of guns!
At this time, the generals of the Qing army were naturally unwilling to retreat.

Although the turmoil in the formation of the Qing army's musketeers was getting bigger and bigger, the actual number of casualties was not much different from that of the monsters fighting puppets on the opposite side.

After all, the Qing Army Musketeers had a lot of barrels, and with the help of a large number of loaders, the lead bullets fired per unit time far exceeded those fired by the monsters and puppets.

Even if the subsequent volleys of guns were not accurate enough due to the panic of the firecrackers, they still caused a lot of casualties to the monster puppets lined up in a dense formation on the opposite side under the volley of guns.

If they retreated at this time, the thousands of Qing army musketeers would be completely defeated, and their morale was blown. If they want to boost up again, they don't know when they will have to wait.

At this time, the only ones who have not been on the battlefield to fight with the monsters and puppets are the only ones left who have been under the special care of Shang Keai to lead the Han army directly under the banner of the Pingnan Palace.

Only these direct descendants of Shang Fan maintain a complete organizational system!

The rest of the Green Battalion soldiers, including the cavalry, were severely beaten by the monster Li Changqing's war puppets.

When the general of the Qing army made a decision, he couldn't help but think of Shang Keai's last order to him. The Han army under the direct banner of Shangfan in the camp had already begun to retreat, and it was time for the green camp soldiers to work hard!
As a result, these thousands of green battalion gunfire soldiers of the Qing army had to continue to fight back with close-range salvo firepower under the order of their superiors.

In the battle of attrition, the Qing army musketeers finally wiped out their opponents by relying on their absolute superiority in numbers.

After killing the red-clothed musketeers and Gurkha mercenaries blocking the way in front of them, the Qing army's musketeers were escorted by the Han army's banner supervisor team under the jurisdiction of the Pingnan Palace to move forward and wiped out those who were fighting fiercely with the cavalry. system enemy.

However, before the Qing Army musketeers could replenish all the systemic enemy soldiers who had fallen to the ground and survived on the battlefield, scattered glimmers of light flickered in the open space around them again.

The law of system enemy deployment is that if there is not enough open space for a formation of thousands of people, the system enemy troops will randomly disperse to the surrounding open space in units of a hundred people.

If there is not enough space for the centurion, the centurion will continue to split into ten-man squads.

The open space here is not just for the system enemy to have a place to stand, but also to keep a certain "safe distance" from all living people in this area, about a distance of dozens to hundreds of steps.

This distance is just the effective range of the musket.

A thousand Ottoman musketeers were scattered into the open space around the Qing army musketeers who had just won the victory but had no joy of victory.

Of course, Li Changqing sent the Ottoman Musketeers now because the Ottoman Musketeers and the Red Army Musketeers who were born in England were deadly rivals.

[Ottoman Musketeers: Ottoman elite standing army equipped with exquisite matchlock guns and Turkish scimitars.

Historical origin: Ottoman Musketeers all come from people who served the Sudan, including slaves, European war criminals, Christian captives, etc. They are not allowed to grow beards, marry wives, and usually drink and have fun. However, whether the Ottoman Musketeers should remain celibate is still controversial .Due to the lack of family members, all their belongings will be received by the Legion or Alliance after their death.

Their military ranks are named after culinary words, such as calling the commander "chef", and the next rank is called "soup maker". They use a large iron pot as a mark of honor. would be discredited.They are expected to be independent, but can sometimes be rude or disobedient to their superiors.

Besides being a powerful military force, they also often spark political events.The Ottoman musketeers were massacred in Constantinople during the Ospicius Incident of 1826, when Ottoman musketeers gathered in Constantinople to protest against Mehmed II's imposition of European-style military discipline and regulations. Regarding them, the Sultan mercilessly demanded that the new European army slaughter them all, and the Ottoman Musketeers disappeared from sight.

The Ottoman Musketeers are famous for their gorgeous costumes, white wool caps and famous mustaches. Their earliest weapons were bows and arrows, but they were quickly changed to Mausers and rifles. 】

Li Changqing knew that the Mausers and rifles mentioned in historical sources were actually the European names for muskets and rifled guns.

The Qing army musketeers have always been on alert. After all, they have known for a long time that war puppets summoned by the monster Li Changqing will appear around them anytime and anywhere, and they are hard to guard against!
As a result, it was no surprise that war puppets wearing gorgeous costumes unknown to the soldiers of the Qing army appeared not far from them with muskets on their shoulders, and they were also divided into small square formations.

The melee completely detonated just a few seconds after the appearance of the Ottoman Musketeers.

The gunfire soldiers of the Qing army raised their muskets and pulled the trigger on the puppet who was closer to them without even needing an order from the chief.

The scattered gunfire quickly turned into a roar that showed no sign of stopping.

White smoke enveloped the entire battlefield again.

At this moment, the generals of the Qing army could not even effectively command the firecrackers on the front line. In order to survive, each of the Qing army's firecrackers went crazy and shot at the puppets who were closer to them.

There were even a few gunfire soldiers of the Qing army who drew their waist knives and fought hand-to-hand with the Ottoman musketeers who came up.

These old pawns of the Qing army, who more or less had murder cases in their hands, burst out with a strong desire to survive when they were living and dying.

There was only one reason why they were so ruthless against the war puppets—the soldiers of the Qing army knew that the war puppets summoned by the demon Taoist Li Changqing would never capture living prisoners.

If you can't escape in their hands, you must be prepared to die in battle.

The murderous veterans of the Qing army were naturally unwilling to be slaughtered. They all fought like chicken blood, fighting with thousands of Ottoman musketeers.

Originally, with this courage to survive, the Qing army's firecrackers relied on their numerical superiority and would win sooner or later, but the ruthless Li Changqing once again threw a wave of systematic enemy troops on the battlefield.
