Luo Rucai divided the cavalry into two, outflanked the Datong cavalry on the left and right, and then fired arrows from a distance while going down the mountain.

Light cavalry versus light cavalry, as long as they are of equal size, will generally not engage in hand-to-hand combat. Instead, they will shoot at short to medium distances. It may take an hour to shoot until one party can no longer hold on, and then the fight will begin (not afraid of muscle strain, horse bow draw strength

Small and not full).

Therefore, the standard horse bow of the Ming Dynasty frontier cavalry has two barbs on the bow tip. Once you have finished shooting your arrows, you can use the bow tip barbs to pick up the arrows that have fallen on the ground. After getting the arrows

Shoot back again.

"Dismount and light the match!"

The match rope made of ramie can continue to burn for 30-40 minutes. The match rope must be replaced after burning out.

When the horse is running at high speed, the match rope burns faster. Basically, it takes 20 minutes to replace the flintlock gun with the dragoon.

Luo Rucai's cavalry was divided into two teams. Instead of charging straight towards the Datong cavalry, they passed by the Datong cavalry and planned to shoot an arrow as they passed by.

The optimal shooting range of a horse bow is within thirty steps, but usually the arrow will be released around forty steps.

Seeing all the Datong cavalry dismounting and taking aim with their blazing guns, Luo Rucai suddenly didn't know how to fight.

The firing range of the fire blunderbuss is definitely far greater than that of the horse bow, and you will suffer a loss if you shoot against it.

Take advantage of the enemy's dismount and charge towards them desperately?

There was not much time to think about it on the battlefield, and the rogue cavalry had already made habitual actions.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Fifty steps away, the Datong cavalry opened fire one after another. After firing, they immediately got on their horses and rushed towards the hillside.

Before the rogue cavalry could fire their arrows, they were shot by two thousand muskets.

They were running at high speed and in a loose formation, so they were not easily hit, but they were still hit 11 times at once. Many of them aimed at the person in front, but the bullet hit the person behind.

Bows and arrows were fired from both sides, and two Datong cavalrymen were shot. From such a long distance, even if they were not wearing armor, they would hardly cause fatal injuries.

The two sides exchanged positions, with the Datong cavalry on the slope and the rogue cavalry on the bottom.

After closing the distance, the Datong cavalry quickly dismounted and stood on the spot to reload their ammunition.

Nowadays, Zhao Han's fire gun soldiers do not use paper-cased bullets. Instead, they use a measuring cup made of a small bamboo tube. One cup can be smoothed out just enough to hold the gunpowder. It is more convenient to use than paper-cased bullets.

Luo Rucai ordered the cavalry to meet again. The Datong cavalry was condescending, and the shooting was better this time.

Hit 19 enemies at once, release the gun and run away immediately.

"Come forward and fight!"

Luo Rucai finally understood that he couldn't shoot at each other like before. He had to take advantage of the enemy's lack of time to reload and directly attack them in hand-to-hand combat.

Both sides chased me and fled, and came to the grain transport team again.

The grain transport team was crossing the small river, about halfway across. When the remaining troops saw friendly forces being pursued, the peasants and soldiers immediately formed a formation. Hu Dinggui led the cavalry to hide behind the spear formation, and the entire army quickly dismounted and reloaded ammunition.
