: Riding a horse and playing with shooting

"Da da da da!"

"Da da da da!"

"Da da da da!"

The sound of horse hooves immediately rang out rapidly.

The other troops of the Hu Ben Army watched their cavalry comrades leave happily, their eyes full of hope and expectation. This was the first wave of counterattack launched by the Hu Ben Army, and no one could ignore them. Because, this means that from now on, the Hu Ben Army will no longer defend passively. From now on, the Hu Ben Army has the strength to launch a counterattack.

The three thousand cavalry were like the wind, rolling towards Pinggang. Such a large-scale military operation would definitely not be able to conceal the enemy's scouts. Huang Taiji deployed a large number of scouts around Dongjiabao, and they would definitely find the whereabouts of the Hu Ben cavalry. I believe that the scouts of the Taurus and the Mongols are desperately reporting to their superiors. Therefore, the speed of the Hu Ben army's marching must be fast, and they must go to Pinggang before the Mongolian cavalry of Pinggang escaped and before the Tartars' vanguard battalion came to reinforce.

A journey of 100 miles must be reached within one hour, which is a severe test for the physical strength of the war horses. A hundred miles of the Ming Dynasty was about 50 kilometers in modern times. According to the horse racing speed, there is no problem to run fifty kilometers in one hour. However, the movement of the cavalry team cannot be so fast. Being able to arrive within two hours is basically completed.

It was only a hundred miles away and there was no need to save horsepower. Therefore, every Hu Ben cavalry whipped his war horses desperately with his horse whip in order to get more running speed. All war horses spread their horses' hooves and galloped desperately. The dust raised by the horse's hooves kept gathering behind the cavalry team, and eventually turned into a hazy piece.

"quick!"

"quick!"

"quick!"

All the cavalry officers were constantly waving their hands and calling for their subordinates to speed up. In fact, the speed of the Hu Ben Army was already quite fast. Many war horses were venting their breath outside. It was just that this was the first time we participated in such a large-scale battle, and they were nervous inside and always felt that their speed was not fast enough.

The rumbling sound of horse hooves was like a burst of spring thunder, resounding throughout the wilderness between Dongjiabao and Pinggang. Occasionally, one or two horse thieves who came out of nowhere and found traces of the Hu Ben Army cavalry, all stopped to watch, with surprise on their faces. Some even quietly followed the Hu Ben Army cavalry and wanted to follow and see what was going on.

The Huben Army cavalry looked murderous, and idiots knew that they were going for the Tartars. In the land of Northern Zhili, no one else had the courage to cause trouble for the Tartars except the Huben Army. So many Huben Army cavalry were dispatched, obviously to look for bad luck for the Tartars. Such a grand event was unwilling to let go even if the horse thieves were not willing to let go.

Before noon, Zhang Zhun and others successfully arrived at the throne. Calculate the time and it only took a little more than an hour. Zhang Zhun was very satisfied with this speed. The speed of the soldiers is. The faster the action of the Hu Ben Army, the less Huang Taiji could do his job, and he could only suffer in vain.

Pinggang is a village built on a vast plain, surrounded by flat fields. The terrain in the eastern part of northern Zhili is very flat, which is very conducive to the rapid maneuvering and large-scale combat of the cavalry. Pinggang used to have a population of thousands, but of course there is no more. Looking at it with a thousand-mile mirror, you can see nothing except the Mongol cavalry.

Zhang Zhun initially estimated that the surrounding fields of Pinggang were placed with 100,000 cavalry, and there was no problem at all. Two Mongolian Thousands of Man teams, plus the two battalions of Tiger Army cavalry, had a total of 5,000 people. On the huge fields, there were so few people, so there seemed to be too few. Even if the Tartars' vanguard battalion was counted, the surrounding fields still seemed very empty.

Before the arrival of the Huben cavalry, the Mongolian cavalry stationed at Pinggang had already arranged a queue to fight. Of course, the Mongolian scouts could not have been able to hear the news until Zhang Zhun arrived. In fact, they knew it shortly after the Huben cavalry left Dongjiabao, and then turned around and reported to their superiors. However, because the Huben cavalry was very fast and almost followed the Mongolian scouts, Hasen learned the accurate news only half an hour ago.

"Hu Ben Army Cavalry?"

"Call towards Pinggang?"

Hasen's first reaction was that the Huben Army had taken the wrong medicine and actually dared to leave Dongjiabao and attack Pinggang. Isn't this suicide? In the vast field, where is the Huben Army's cavalry an opponent of the Mongolian cavalry? Huang Taiji didn't know how much he hoped the Huben Army would come out to fight. As a result, the Huben Army stayed in Dongjiabao and refused to come out. Today, the Huben Army must have had a brain in the water before he would come to Pinggang.

Such a good opportunity, if they don’t teach the Hu Ben Army a lesson, they still don’t know that the Mongolian grassland warriors’ cavalry are powerful. Besides, Huang Taiji will soon receive news that the vanguard camp will come quickly. If they can surround the Hu Ben Army cavalry with the vanguard camp and wipe them out, it will definitely be a great achievement. As long as they are appreciated by Huang Taiji, do you still need to worry about their future glory and wealth?

"Cross!"

"Come on!"

The monk cheered up and roared.

Soon, all the Mongolian cavalry formed a formation.

The Mongolian tactics have always used cavalry to tear apart the opponent's formation, and then the heavy cavalry broke through the middle, and finally completely dispersed the enemy's team, divided and surrounded, and annihilated them. If this move is not effective, turn around and escape, lure the enemy to follow, and then use the Manguda tactic to slowly defeat the enemy.

Hasen's hands had no heavy cavalry, all of them were archers. Therefore, his tactics were very simple, which was to directly use archers to attack the enemy's queue, and use fierce cavalry to directly eliminate the enemy. Based on previous combat experience, the Mongols knew that the Huben Army cavalry did not have any armor, and as long as they were shot by arrows, they would either die or be injured.

"Cross!"

"Scattered formation!"

Zhang Zhun calmly issued an order.

Flags of different colors and shapes are constantly waving.

Under the guidance of the flag, the soldiers of the Tiger Cavalry and the Leopard Cavalry are prepared for combat according to the scattered formation. The so-called scattered formation is to target the enemy and spread in an equal-distance fan shape. The distance between each warrior can accommodate two horses. The purpose of this is closely related to the cavalry tactics of the Tiger Ben Army.

After the formation is arranged, each soldier carefully checks his weapons and spare weapons. According to the standard equipment, each Hu Ben cavalry is equipped with a Hu Ben gun, an Eagle-eyed gun, and a dedicated dagger. The Hu Ben gun is used for long-distance combat, the Hawking gun is used for short-distance hand-to-hand combat, and the dagger is used for self-defense and daily use. When necessary, the dagger can cut the reins in time to prevent the danger of being dragged forward by a war horse and being dragged to death.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The low ox horn continued to echo in the field.

This is a signal that the Mongolian cavalry will launch an attack.

"Dududu!"

On the side of the Hu Ben Army, the conch horn also made a low sound.

This is a signal that the Huben Army cavalry is ready to fight.

"kill!"

Hasson waved his thug and roared fiercely.

When they heard the Niuke, the Mongolian cavalry urged their horses to rush towards the Huben cavalry.

The main combat weapon of the Mongolian cavalry is powerful bows and arrows. The bows and arrows they use can allow them to use the inertia of the war horses to shoot sharp arrows about eighty meters away, causing serious damage to the enemy. Now, the distance between the two sides is more than 500 meters, and they must shorten this distance at high speed.

The Huben Army cavalry was quietly waiting for the Mongolian cavalry to approach. The current Huben Army cavalry is still in the passive response stage for the time being and cannot charge the enemy in the main attack. Moreover, the characteristics of the Huben gun are not suitable for attacking. During running, the accuracy of the Huben gun shooting must be reduced by at least half. On the contrary, if you shoot stably on the horse's back, the accuracy is still acceptable.

Five hundred meters...

Four hundred meters...

Three hundred meters...

The distance between Mongolian cavalry is getting closer and closer.

"Open fire!"

Zhang Zhun waved the flag in his hand vigorously.

With a distance of 300 meters, the Tiger Ben Gun can cause effective damage to the enemy.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The Hu Ben gun kept ringing.

Minnie bullets roared away, and the Mongolian cavalry that was hit suddenly fell down in groups. The sound of war horses falling to the ground, the neighing of injured war horses, the screams of personnel, and the sound of various weapons stabbing into the body all burst out in an instant. When many Hu Ben cavalry heard this sound, their cheeks immediately became stiff.

Due to the queue, only about one thousand Tiger Ben Army fired at the same time. One thousand Minni bullets roared away, with great power. The Mongolian cavalry rushed in front, in fact, only three or four hundred people were hit by the bombardment rain, and at least 80% of the people were swept down. These Mongolian cavalry archers who rushed in front were basically the most ferocious and cruel group, and as a result, they were first sent to hell.

There is actually a reason why the Tiger Ben Army was arranged in such a formation that only one thousand people fired the gun first. Because of the enemy cavalry formation, even if three thousand people fired at the same time, only three or four hundred enemies were killed by the rain of bullets. Even if they were knocked over to the ground, the results of the battle could not be expanded. The biggest disadvantage of Minnie bullets is that they lack penetration and it is absolutely impossible to penetrate the human body. If you want to have one shot and two lives, don’t even think about it. Therefore, most Minnie bullets may be wasted.

At the same time, the shooting will have serious negative consequences, which are not conducive to continuous combat. If all the Hu Ben cavalry fired, it will take at least ten seconds to reload. In these ten seconds, the enemy cavalry can advance more than 100 meters. Therefore, the Hu Ben cavalry adopts three-stage shooting that is a bit different from the infantry. While fully exerting the power of the Minnie bomb, it can also maintain continuous firepower.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The Mongolian cavalry, who was hit by Minnie, hit one head off the horse's back and made a sound of thunder. Some war horses fell so hard that their necks were broken directly, and the whole war horse broke at an incredible angle on the ground. There were also a large number of horse legs, which were crushed to pieces when they fell. Countless war horses neighed in pain, mixed with the screams of people, and the battlefield was tragic.

When galloping at a height, you can imagine the consequences of falling off the horse's back. If you don't die, you will be disabled. Some Minnie bombs hit the war horse, causing the war horse to fall to the ground, and the people on the horse's back were thrown out. The consequences are also serious. People with fast reactions and good skills may be fine. But ordinary cavalry will definitely be injured after being thrown out. In other words, as long as they fall off the horse's back, they will basically lose their combat ability.

The Mongolian cavalry behind hurriedly manipulated the war horses, crossed over his companions, or circled around his companions. This caused a little chaos in the originally neat team, and also caused the Mongolian cavalry to advance a lot. Some people, because of their companions' obstacles, had their horses tripped and they were overturned to the ground, and chaos appeared again on the scene.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The gunshots of the Hu Ben cavalry sounded again.

The Huben cavalry who had finished shooting in front remained motionless and reloaded the Huben gun with agility. The Huben cavalry behind them penetrated forward from the gap and then quickly shot. Because of the queue, there were actually about one thousand people who fired the second round. As the gunshots were fired, more Mongolian cavalry fell down.

The second round of shooting was equally powerful. At this time, the Mongolian cavalry queue was still relatively dense. More than a thousand Minnie bullets roared away, but they still endured three or four hundred Mongolian cavalry. As a result, at least more than 80% of the Mongolian cavalry fell under the Minnie bullets. The fallen Mongolian cavalry in front blocked the road of their companions behind, causing the queue to become more chaotic.

The Mongols' ten-crown commanders were constantly shouting, trying to adjust the order of the team and ensure the speed of the impact. However, the number of Mongolian cavalry fell was indeed large, at least more than 500. This led to serious obstruction in their way forward. For this reason, the Mongolian cavalry behind had to lower their speed and pass by carefully briskly on the chaotic ground.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The Huben Army cavalry who had finished shooting remained motionless and continued to reload the Huben gun. The Huben Army cavalry behind continued to press forward and then shot. After the people on the front were shot, the soldiers behind moved forward again and continued to shoot. In this way, the Huben Army's shooting basically would not pause for too long.

This kind of gradual shooting method, or rolling shooting, is unique to the Hu Ben cavalry. The soldiers are called "snowballs" in an image, which means constantly rolling forward and constantly rolling to prevent the enemy from getting close to them. The general three-stage infantry shooting is to quickly retreat after the front shooting, so that the companions behind can go forward and shoot, but the horses cannot retreat quickly, so only the companions behind can quickly insert.

After three rounds of shooting, at least six or seven hundred Mongolian cavalry fell down. Their bodies were basically trampled by their companions behind them. It was impossible for the horses that were speeding past were particularly careful about what was under their feet. All the horses were covered with horseshoes, and they would not be afraid that anything under their feet would cause harm to themselves. Therefore, once they were kicked, the bodies would often be stomped to pieces.

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

The remaining Mongolian cavalry also fired arrows one after another.

After the three-wheeled shooting of the Hu Ben Army cavalry, they had already entered the effective range of bows and arrows. With the help of the inertia of high-speed galloping, they bent their bows and arrows, shooting fierce arrowheads at the Hu Ben Army. Unfortunately, after being shot by the Hu Ben Army for a while, some chaos had occurred in their formation, and only two or three hundred people could shoot arrows effectively.

"puff!"

"puff!"

"puff!"
