Chapter 118 Stepping
Such a level of equipment is absolutely beyond the level of their rebel cavalry, and must have a considerable impact. With their strength, they can't stop these Fujian officers and cavalry at all, so they are even more panicked.
But even so, the traitor did not dare to leave his post without permission and immediately led the troops to escape. He could only bravely ask his men to quickly array and transfer the long gunners to the front of the array. The archers were also placed behind the long gunners and prepared to carry them for a while to see if they could survive until the reinforcements came.
At this time, a large number of guns were suddenly released on the side of the officers and cavalry, and rockets rose to the sky, and then exploded in the air, blowing out a mass of black smoke.
The cavalry of the officers and soldiers slowed down the speed of the horse hundreds of steps away from them, adjusted the formation, and let the war horse gasp a little. After that, they immediately formed a front arrow formation and began to slowly lift the horse forward, leaving the horse relaxed and jogging.
A trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the rebel general, because the practice of the other side's cavalry shows that they are well-trained cavalry, absolutely elite, well controlling the rhythm of the war horses, making the people and horses cooperate quite well.
On their way, they must be faster, and the physical consumption of the horse will be relatively large. If they rush directly, the horse will not be able to maintain a fast enough speed, which reduces their impact and destructive power.
So the other officer was very clear about this and immediately led the troops to rush over. Instead, hundreds of steps away, he stopped the war horse and let the cavalry and the war horse rest a little. The cavalry got off the horse and tightened the belt of the war horse and let the war horse rest a little.
Doing this can restore the horse's physical strength, and then they get on the horse and start to line up, but still let the horse jog, which means that they have a good understanding of the habits of the horse. Such jogging makes the horse gradually adjust to the state before charging, which makes the excitement of the horse. .
Next, they will gradually speed up. When they rushed to the rebel front, the horse has been upgraded to the highest speed. At that time, the cavalry will have the strongest impact and combat effectiveness. Only the veteran cavalry can understand these Taoisms.
This time, the traitor dared not underestimate these Fujian cavalry, and his heart screamed! I'm afraid they will have bad luck today.
Sure enough, after these Fujian officers and cavalry were started again, they slowly put the horses in a state of jogging. When they reached the 200 steps before the rebel array, the cavalry began to speed up. The horses gradually accelerated from jogging to fast running, and under the control of the cavalry, they continued Still accelerating.
All the cavalry began to lower their bodies, tighten their staves, lift their hips with their legs, get rid of the saddle, put their upper bodies forward, and lower them as much as possible. They blocked most of their bodies with the horses' necks and reduced their bodies to a minimum.
At this time, even if the archers wanted to shoot them, it was quite difficult, and they did not take off their riding guns, but took off a cavalry shield with their left hand, covering them in front of them, protecting most of their bodies.
At this time, the speed of the horses was already quite fast. As the horses continued to speed up, they were getting closer and closer to the rebel array. At this time, the rebels listened to the rumble of horseshoes on the opposite side and watched the other's cavalry rush towards them like a torrent. Many rebels The army has already panicked.
They are not fools. They can see that this cavalry is not a good stubble and must be very difficult to deal with. If they rush over, even if they hit their gun forest, the high-speed impact horses can still knock them away, or even kill them alive.
This is a way of fighting for life. At this time, these rebels are already at an absolute disadvantage. They are sweating coldly and scared to fight two battles. Finally, some of the spearmen who are at the forefront can no longer withstand psychological pressure. Suddenly, they exclaimed and lost their guns in their hands. He turned around and fled to the back, and ended up rushing the archer behind him.
And those archers themselves were scared enough at this moment. As soon as they were rushed by the deserters, some people simply lost their bows and turned around and ran away.
As a result, before the officers and cavalry rushed to their front, the rebel front had already messed up.
At this time, the rebel general shouted, shouted and scolded, and repeatedly waved knives and cut off several deserters, trying to restrain his men from continuing to form defense.
The rebel generals are very clear that the collapse of the battle array at this time is equivalent to suicide. In front of the pursuit of the cavalry, they have no chance to escape, so at present, their only opportunity is to fight to the end. The cavalry is also human. They should not be stupid enough to lead people and horses towards the spear array*. In that case, even if it is him They broke through the enemy array, and the front cavalry had to play with them.
At this time, the psychological quality of who is stronger, then who is the final winner is the winner. But it is obvious that the psychological quality of the rebels is far from the psychological quality of the Fujian cavalry. Some rebels have collapsed psychologically and began to turn around and run away, and they finally formed a formation at this time It began to be scattered.
"Arrow! Shoot the arrow! Stop them!" The traitor roared hysterically.
Those rebel archers who had already been scared to fart, in fact, began to shoot arrows long ago without his greeting. More than 100 archers, you scrambled with me to throw arrows in front of you, and you can't shoot the enemy at all, just shoot arrows for your life.
The bows and arrows of these rebels fell in front of the cavalry, and most of them failed to shoot into the cavalry array, because the rebels were so nervous that they began to shoot arrows before the cavalry entered their range, resulting in the first wave of arrow rain, which basically failed.
And the rebel archers hurriedly began to shoot arrows, ready to fire again. At this time, the cavalry of the Yu family had rushed a long distance and were about to reach the rebels.
At this time, even if some arrows fell into the cavalry, most of them were blocked by the shields held by the cavalry. In fact, it was not serious to kill the cavalry.
Some arrows hit the war horse, which caused the war horse to be shocked and had some impact on their formation. A small number of cavalry were lifted off the war horse because the war horse was frightened and became the first victims.
There are also some cavalrymen who were hit by arrows, but their main torso wore plate armor, which was very strong. The arrows could not penetrate their plate armor at all. On the curved plate armor, they drew a spark, and then slipped over the cavalry's body and fell to the ground. Basically, they could not hurt the cavalry. Even if they shoot at the limbs, the shoulders and arms of the cavalry are covered with armor, and they still cannot be effectively shot through, at most minor injuries.
Therefore, the casualties of the Yu family's cavalry on the way to attack were extremely small and almost negligible.
But what is strange is that they rushed to a distance of 30 or 40 steps in front of the enemy's array, and each of them still did not take off their guns or pull out their sabers. They raised their right hands one by one, holding a short and powerful double tube* in their right hand.
It was not until 30 steps away that the cavalrymen who rushed to the front suddenly pulled the trigger and pulled twice in a row. Hearing only the front of the cavalry, there was a bean-like sound of bullets, like a shower, immediately swept across the rebel front of the rebel array.
The rebels lined up in front of the battle were the long gunmen. These rebels themselves are not elite and of poor equipment quality. Only a few officers wear armor, and they are not very good armor, at best, some cotton armor.
In front of the mini bombs fired by the short-haired in the hands of the domestic cavalry, these rebels could not resist such a blow at all. The spearmen in the front row were immediately cut down like cutting grass, and the archers standing behind them were exposed to the cavalry.
"Claw through tactics! Go!" At this time, the cavalry officer in the cavalry drank loudly, pulled out the saber at his waist and raised his head high.
Those cavalry who fired guns directly shook their hands and threw away the short guns, but these short guns have a gunstick linked to their waists. Even if they throw away the short guns, the short guns will hang on their waists and will not be lost.
But this action can save the time of collecting the gun, allowing them to buy the most precious seconds to take off the riding gun from the saddle.
All the cavalry quickly took off their guns and clamped them under their armpits, holding shields in their left and guns in their right. The tip of the gun was flat and slightly lowered, pointing to the position of the enemy's chest.
At this time, the cavalry on his back had risen to the fastest speed and rushed directly into the enemy's array. At this time, the rebel gunner was either killed or scared to turn around and run away, throwing his back to the cavalry of the Yu family army, as well as those panicked rebel archers. At this time Hou also shouted, lost the bow and arrow in his hand, turned around and ran away.
At this time, the rebel array had already become a pot of porridge. At this time, the rebel general also knew that if he didn't run, he would be finished. He quickly turned the horse's head and didn't care about anything. He turned around and began to accelerate, kicked the horse's stomach, played with his life to urge the war horse, and turned around and ran away in the direction of Laizhou City.
The two cavalry companies, which can be said to be almost effortless, rushed the rebels who intercepted them to pieces.
The cavalry rode their guns and rushed past the rebels like flying. Their wrists shook and suddenly sent them forward. Coupled with the speed of the horses, lightning pierced the sharp tip of the gun and pierced the enemy's body.
