- "Hey! Follow me!'
After Taize received the order, he immediately waved the steel knife in his hand, then turned around with a ferocious face, clamped his legs and urged the horse under his crotch to start running at a small speed.
The thousand cavalrymen of Zhenglan Banner who followed him also began to slowly walk out of the queue.
"Kill those enemies, we are invincible!"
At this moment, no one thought how powerful the enemy they encountered was.
In the hearts of these Houjin warriors who have built up strong self-confidence after years of fighting, they believe that they are already invincible in this land.
It is precisely for this reason that they can maintain such a strong will to fight when facing an enemy with twice the strength of their own.
Speaking of which, it is not surprising that Hou Jin could rise and eventually take control of the Central Plains.
Although there are some complicated factors in this, the foundation for the post-Jin soldiers to be able to fight is also the key.
If they can't fight at all, then it won't be their turn to take over the Central Plains, right?
After so many years of fighting, when the Hou Jin army fought against the Ming army, they always responded with inferior forces.
They have become accustomed to things like using less to hit more.
Therefore, facing the Song Emperor's army of more than 20,000, the Houjin and Blue Flag soldiers, who were only in their early 10,000, were still able to take the initiative to launch a charge.
For them, such a battle is nothing special.
Since I can defeat the 'powerful' Ming army, it is not a problem to deal with these troops in strange costumes who appear out of nowhere.
Taize led his thousand-man team to launch a frontal charge, while Gural, who had received the Ordo military order, led his thousand-man team to make a detour and attack Jay Chou's left wing.
The tactics of cavalry versus infantry can be described as quite satisfactory.
Especially the battlefield where the battle is about to take place is a vast plain.
so. There is nothing wrong with Ordo's approach.
Two of his fierce generals were dispatched, while Ordo himself led more than 8,000 cavalry to hold down the formation at the rear.
The two teams, Taize and Gulal, were actually used to test Jay Chou and the others.
The main reason is to see Jay Chou¡¯s background. This kind of testing is very common.
It is impossible for Ordo to invest all its troops from the beginning and launch a decisive charge.
After all, he doesn¡¯t know people like Jay Chou very well yet.
If the opponent were the Ming army, the situation would be different.
If Ordos fights the Ming army, he will definitely invest all his troops at the beginning of the war.
The reason is simple, because he knows the corruption and weakness of the Ming army too well.
So, there is nothing to worry about doing this.
But the problem is. The enemies he faces now are obviously different from the Ming army.
The Ming army will use so-called formations in combat, which are different from those used by the enemies they face now.
The enemy on the opposite side is arranged in five columns, and the front is very thin.
With a formation like this, in Erdo's eyes, you are just like a joke.
But the more this happens, the more suspicious Ordo feels.
You must know that all the people under his command are cavalry.
As long as the enemy general is not an idiot, he will definitely know the advantages and disadvantages of both sides.
If the army wants to deal with the cavalry, the formation must be very strong, and it cannot be such a thin and ridiculous formation.
But when something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
In the spirit of the relationship of being careful and never making a big mistake. Ordo then sent two warriors to try each other.
¡°If Jay Chou is a showman, Ordo will order the entire army to attack.
Ordo is not worried about anything at all. In his opinion, Taize and Gular are both cavalry. If the enemy is tough, they can withdraw in time.
What Erdo didn¡¯t expect was that the enemy he was about to fight was no ordinary enemy.
"The first brigade! The second brigade moves forward! Prepare for five rounds of shooting! Release!"
Taize led a thousand cavalry and charged over fiercely. The distance of about one mile is actually not that far at all.
Since they are cavalry, they can do so in a very short time. It basically entered the musket range of the Imperial Army.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
?Crack, crackle!
With the first gunshot, bursts of gunshots like firecrackers began to echo densely under the sky.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
A Zhenglan Banner soldier who was rushing at the front was hit squarely in the head by a lead bullet. He only had time to scream and fell off his horse.
When he fell off his horse, he was trampled to pieces by the horse behind him.
War is cruel.
Although the cavalry is powerful, it will be very dangerous if the knight falls off his horse.
Especially when a large number of cavalry charge together, if the leading cavalry falls off the horse, the end will be very tragic.
Because the cavalry behind you cannot stop their horses because you fell off their horses, they will continue to charge forward. After all, if the charge of the large forces stops, there will be no talk of the power and lethality of the cavalry charge.
Therefore, we can only say sorry to our companions who fell from their horses.
Even if it tramples you to death, it can only be said that you are unlucky.
Crack, crackle!
In front of them, bursts of blue smoke appeared in front of the enemy formations in strange costumes.
As the cold wind blew by, the charging Zhenglan Banner cavalry could smell the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke.
"It's a firecracker!"
I don¡¯t know who shouted, and then the charging Zhenglan Banner cavalry leaned down and hid on the back of their horses to reduce the range of themselves being shot by lead bullets.
After all, they have fought countless battles with the Ming army, so the Eight Banners cavalry are no strangers to weapons such as firecrackers.
¡°They have even developed a set of tactics and evasion techniques.
For example, the method of keeping your body close to the war horse, or hiding under the belly of the war horse, is very effective in dealing with fire cannons.
However, what shocked them this time was that even if they hid, the enemy could still cause damage to them.
The reason is simple, the knight is hiding. Then the war horse can't hide.
If you can¡¯t hit anyone, then I¡¯ll hit your horse.
Without horses, the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners cavalry will be reduced by half immediately.
Moreover, the Imperial Army's five-round continuous fire can be repeated indefinitely until all the lead bullets are used up. In this process, the charging cavalry will have to face the baptism of bullets.
Compared with the Ming army's muskets, the Song Empire's muskets had a longer range, a faster rate of fire, and were much more lethal.
more importantly. Because of the emergence of linear queues, there were many more bullets lined up to shoot.
Normally, when the Later Jin Army fought against the Ming Army, they would never encounter so many bullets.
As long as they can dodge a round of shooting, they can basically rush to the Ming army's formation and start fighting.
Furthermore, even in a team of five thousand people, there were only a few dozen fire rifle soldiers in the Ming army.
With dozens of fire gun soldiers. At worst, it would just be firing dozens of lead bullets.
¡°Besides, the accuracy of these muskets is very low. It¡¯s pretty good if three or four of the dozens of lead bullets can hit the enemy.
So, the veterans of Houjin who understand Huogun. That person is not afraid of facing the gunfire at all.
On the other hand, the army of the Song Empire was different.
Each of Jay Chou¡¯s soldiers has a sophisticated musket.
He dispatched several brigades to face the enemy head-on, each with a thousand soldiers.
The five brigades took turns shooting, that is to say, Taize and the others were charging. Facing an attack of a thousand rounds of lead bullets.
This number far exceeds the number of lead bullets fired by the artillery soldiers of the Ming Army.
What¡¯s more, linear queue. Improves the shooting damage of muskets to the extreme.
As long as you attack across from me, there is no negotiation at all about lining up to kill you.
So, Taize and his cavalry were in bad luck.
Screams, cries for help from falling horses, and the sound of bones breaking when horses¡¯ hooves trample on human bodies, constantly resounded within the charging team, making people shiver in their ears.
"Go! Go! Go over there and you'll be fine!"
Faced with such a situation, Taize also had a bitter taste in his mouth, but in this situation, he knew that there was no way out for him.
If the charging team is turned around, the enemy can easily shoot the flanks of the team with firecrackers, causing greater damage to themselves.
And after turning, the team does not have to retreat.
During the retreat, the enemy can still kill the soldiers behind his own team.
So, there is only one way to solve the problem we are facing right now, and that is to rush over.
I really can¡¯t understand why these troops with weird costumes have such powerful muskets.
When fighting the Ming army, I didn¡¯t see the Ming army¡¯s muskets. The lead bullets shot out were like rain.
¡°If the Ming army¡¯s fire cannons were so powerful, then Houjin For a moment, many inexplicable thoughts flashed through Taize¡¯s mind as he lay on his horse.
After all, it is a cavalry charge, so it is faster than an infantry charge.
Watching the team gradually approaching the enemy's formation, Taize couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, he turned around and looked around.
This look didn't matter, but it almost made him spit out a mouthful of blood.
There was a neat cavalry force of a thousand people, but now he found that only a few hundred people were left.
Looking back, hundreds of people had fallen scattered on the way to the charge.
Oh my God!
But before he could think of what to do next, there was a burst of dust and smoke in front of them as they charged, followed by a deafening and dizzying sound.
Boom!
"Fire! Fine-tune the muzzle, two hundred yards in front of the target line!"
It turns out that this is the artillery in the center of Jay Chou's army starting to show off its power.
The fragments produced by the explosion flew off a group of cavalry rushing in front of Taiz¨¦.
The war horse was also frightened and raised its front hooves, "Hui!" Recovery! ' screamed.
Just when Taize wanted to find out what the enemy used to create such a large formation, he only felt his body shake, and then he floated lightly
"Hmph! What the hell, even these few soldiers and horses come to charge into the battle, it's too disrespectful."
Seeing the cavalrymen who were still some distance away from his formation being overturned by artillery fire, Jay Chou curled his lips and thought to himself.
"General, the enemies on the flanks are coming!"
Without giving Jay Chou too much time to complain, the adjutant¡¯s words shifted his attention to the left wing. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
