Chapter 50 The Battle of the Two Powers 6
As those Guanning cavalrymen accelerated, they lowered their bodies as much as possible, so that they could reduce their bodies as much as possible. They almost fell on the horse's neck and accelerated the charge forward. Some of the soldiers had already prepared three-eyed arrows, waiting to ignite the thief army after shooting the wooden fence, while the other soldiers were in the saddle. They took off the set of ropes and clenched them in their hands. Their task was not to directly attack the enemy's large array. There was a wooden fence in front of the enemy's array, which was the biggest obstacle to their attack. They were ordered to go out, that is, to open the channel for the main force behind and pull down the wooden fence, so they prepared the ropes and just waited. After rushing close to the wooden fence, they throw ropes to cover the wooden fence, and then pull down the wooden fence with the help of the power of the war horse. In this way, they can remove the obstacles of their rushing array. As long as the wooden fence falls down, relying on the huge impact of their iron horse, such a thin enemy array can not stop their army from stepping on the battle at all.
Zu Kuan's arrangement is absolutely no problem in tactics in this era. It can be said to be a standard cavalry-to-infantry formation, but today they chose the wrong opponent, completely underestimated the power of the Xingtian Army.
As this team of cavalry rushed closer and closer to the Xingtian Army, the leader of the team began to become more and more nervous. Although these people look down on the power of the bird, it does not mean that they really don't know how much threat the bird will pose to them.
In the past, they have never met the use of birdguns by the thieves, but often as long as they rush at the beginning, the huge psychological pressure caused by the thieves will start to panic. The thieves will basically release the thieves at them at a long distance, and launch the birds at a long distance. For them The threat is basically very small. Even if it hits them, it may not be able to penetrate the iron armor on their bodies. What's more, many of them still wear a layer of cotton armor in the iron armor, so when they rush to the enemy, the opponent's firearms hand basically empty the firearms, and the birds and firearms they hold have become fire sticks, which can only Wait for them to kill and chop.
But today he felt that things seemed to be a little wrong. After they accelerated, they rushed closer and closer to the thief army. However, the thief army always kept quiet. At all, no thief army fired at them in a panic. He silently calculated the distance from the thief army in his heart. One hundred steps passed, eighty steps passed. Seventy steps have passed... But the thief army remained calm until they approached seventy steps and did not panic at all. They had never encountered such a situation before. In this way, it made him start to be a little afraid, and as the distance got closer and closer, the tension became stronger. So he slightly slowed down his horse speed and quickly let his men rush to the front, covering his figure, and he quietly retreated into the middle of the team.
Just as they saw that they were about to rush to the first 50 steps of the thieves' army, he saw the movement of the thieves from the cracks and horses. The thieves with the two wings of the thieves' army came forward neatly and raised the birds. He couldn't help but be shocked. Just as he wanted to roar to make the team disperse, the wooden fence opposite flashed. There was a series of flashes and a row of smoke.
"No..." This was the idea of the officer leading the team, but without waiting for him to react, he saw that the soldiers who rushed to the front suddenly seemed to hit an invisible wall. The horses hissed sadly one after another, and the strikers suddenly The soldiers and horses began to lose their hooves and knocked down on the ground with huge energy, which immediately made their impact formation chaotic. Some of the following soldiers and horses could not dodge, and immediately hit the soldiers and horses who had fallen down, and tripped to the ground. Only the two wings reacted slightly faster. They turned the horse's head and scattered towards the two wings, but the formation they maintained was disrupted.
This Mr. Qian stared at what happened in front of him and could hardly believe his eyes. Fifty steps away, he couldn't imagine that the bird of the thief's army had such power. He swept his forward soldiers and horses at once and made them turn upside down. What kind of bird is this? Is it possible that the Lu Milong, which is only available in the Northern Army, has also been obtained by these thieves?
"Spatter! ...Scatter! Disperse on both sides! ..." After being stunned for a moment, Mr. Qian immediately made a decision and roared in the team.
The soldiers of the Guanning Army who suffered losses at this time, how dare they continue to rush forward! They began to pull the horses one after another, either jumping up with the rein, dodging the colleagues who fell in front of them and their horses, or quickly scattered to both sides, and the province became the next target.
That is, a row of volleys. The formation of officers and cavalry who tried to rush to pull down the wooden fence immediately became chaotic. These first row of firing were almost coincidentally aimed at the officers and soldiers' horses. After all, the target of the horses was much larger than the cavalry above, and these horses were at most. Some felts were put on the chest and on both sides to prevent arrows, which could not stop the lead of their birds at all. So after a row of birds hit, more than a dozen war horses that rushed to the front were shot one after another. If they were hit by an arrow, these horses would not fall down immediately, but in front of the large-caliber lead, these horses It was also a flesh and blood body. It couldn't stand such a wound at all, so it overturned a large area, and the knights on their backs also fell heavily on the strong beach. In light, they fell into broken tendons and fractures, and in heavy, they directly broke their necks. The three-eyed spears in their hands were also thrown away at the same time. The injured horse and the wounded soldiers lay on the ground and made a sad cry.
"In the second row! ...Aim...Put..." As soon as the first row of fireguns were launched, the officers in the second row roared sharply. After letting the first row go back to the back row, they raised their legs and raised the bird in their hands, and then there was a bean-like sound, forming a piece of smoke in front of the wooden fence.
The officers and soldiers who were about to rush to the front of the wooden fence were unlucky. People shouted that the horses and bumped everywhere. Under the heavy blow of the spears and lead, several horses were injured and fell to the ground. Some unlucky soldiers were also hit by lead. The iron armor on them was in such a large-caliber lead. In front of Zi, almost like paper, it was immediately torn open and deeply penetrated into their bodies. The huge impact made them scream and fell under the horse. Then even if they were trampled on the ground by the soldiers and horses behind them, the screams stopped abruptly.
The officers and soldiers did not expect that the power of the Xing Tianjun would be so great, and the other party was so calm to fight, and carried out such a blow to them in the way of firing all. In front of these powerful lead, the body could not resist at all, whether it was a man or a horse. As long as he was shot, he was almost immune. Even if the war horse was a little more bearable, after being hit by the lead, it was so painful that he jumped around. He no longer listened to the command of the cavalry on his back and ran around, while the firemen of Xing Tianjun seemed to have no end, constantly releasing them in rows and rows. Each row of lead has to harvest the lives of several war horses, and even the cavalry on it is unlucky, falling like a rolling gourd.
"Withdraw! Pull back quickly! The thief's firearms are powerful! Hurry up..." Mr. Qian, who pulled the reins of the horse and wrapped in the team in front of the team, roared in a frightened tone, and took the lead in plucking the horse. He turned around and left the battlefield that scared him. He was afraid to run slower and became the next target to be overturned.
At this time, the front of the wooden gate of the third battalion was already filled with gunpowder smoke, and it was almost impossible to see the situation on the opposite side. However, the firemen were still under the command of the officers. They came forward in a row and raised their guns to fire. At this time, there was nothing to aim or not aim. They just mechanically followed the command of the officers and flattened the mouth. , launch towards the front of the battle in the smoke. As for stopping the enemy, no one knows at this moment. Anyway, during the usual practice, they are ordered. After the launch, they are not allowed to stop to check the shooting effect. They just turn back to the array and quickly reload it.
Only after three rounds of three rounds of volley shooting on both sides of the three battalions, they were ordered by Li Shuanzhu to stop the launch. When the smoke blew away in the breeze, they gradually saw the situation of the battlefield.
Outside the wooden fence of the whole third battalion, more than 40 officers and soldiers lay down, as well as the wounded or corpses of almost the same number of officers and soldiers, and the remaining officers and soldiers were already scared like birds of the bow. They turned the horse's head one after another and fled in the direction of their own formation. Even it was too late to take back the wounded and corpses of their colleagues, so they fled the battlefield.
After seeing this scene, there was a thunderous cheer in Xing Tianjun immediately. Even the long shooters and knife players who could not make achievements raised their knives and guns in their hands and cheered loudly.
The roar of "Must-win... Must-win... Must-win..." resounded on the north bank of the Luo River, and even the people who came with the army rested after the battle jumped up one after another.
It's nonsense to say that these people and strong people were not worried about the defeat of the Xing Tianjun just now. When many people saw that the officers and soldiers began to start the charge, they had begun to tremble twice. Some people were even ready to run for their lives immediately when they saw that the situation was wrong, but this time they were relieved, so they were relieved. He jumped up, pulled his neck and screamed crazily.
