Chapter 772: Raid 2

Fighting requires courage, but having courage does not mean you can win.

Ten thousand cavalry, against more than 100,000, although it is very courageous, Jianglang does not advocate this kind of courage. Courage is the courage to kill the enemy, not the courage to die. Although there is something to say, it is fearless, but wasting troops to make such meaningless sacrifices is completely a dereliction of duty by a commander.

Of course, Jiang Lang didn't know that Li Chengen had actually been killed in the first round of artillery attacks. It was his last order to send 10,000 cavalry to raid the artillery positions, and of course it was not a very correct order.

Artillery was the killer weapon of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, during general practice, there were also many times when the enemy attacked artillery, and of course, it included the use of a large number of cavalry to raid.

Many people know how to deal with the enemy's cavalry. When the war drum sounded, the heavy armored soldiers in front of them stepped forward one after another and stood in front of the artillery. Behind them was a rifle team, while the heavy armored cavalry immediately divided into two groups and guarded the flanks, and beside them were rifles soldiers who were waiting for battle.

Generally speaking, the range of infantry weapons is more than 300 meters, and during the period when replacing bullets, the cavalry can advance about 100 meters, which means that the effective distance between rifles and cavalry is between 100 and 300 meters. Once they reach within 100 meters, they must go up to the cavalry to suppress the charge of the enemy cavalry and protect the safety of the infantry. After all, the armor on the gun infantry can not stop the swords and guns of the opponent's cavalry.

In just a short period of time, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had already adjusted their combat formations well. Although the opponent was only a few ten thousand cavalry, the Ming Dynasty's policy toward the enemy was that even if only one hundred people came, it had to be treated as one hundred thousand people.

The Ming army in front of us was considered a Shura field, waiting for the impact of the powerful soldiers.

The strong soldiers had already divided into three groups and rushed towards the Ming Dynasty's 100,000 troops. Of course, their target was the artillery troops in front of the Ming Dynasty, but it was obvious that within a very short time, the Ming Dynasty had already been prepared.

The strong soldiers on the city wall all looked at the movements of the cavalry below. They were a little confused about why these cavalry were going to die.

The generals led by the cavalry were actually thinking about this question. In such a short period of time, the Ming Dynasty people were ready. How many of them could survive after rushing over with these ten thousand people?

However, this is the above order. The soldiers' duty is to obey the order. Although they did not know that Li Chengen had died in battle.

The sound of horse hooves resounded through the sky of Daqiu City at this time. Although the neat steps of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty before gave people a weaker momentum and less pressure, it had a hint of indomitable spirit and was also a bit tragic!

However, even if the opponent feels tragic during the battle, it has no meaning.

Facing the Ming cavalry rushing over, the Ming soldiers were not admired by their actions. When fighting, they wanted to win. Any sacrifice that could not be won was a foolish move, and only those who survived were heroes.

The high-strength cavalry started the raid in three directions. The target was very simple. The target was to point straight at the artillery soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. When they were approaching nearly 300 meters, the guns of the Ming soldiers in the front had already opened fire.

If you have something to say, capture the king first to capture the thief, shoot the horse first to shoot the man. However, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty would not waste bullets on horseback, and these war horses can be used by their own troops after being seized, so the targets are all aimed at horse cavalry.

Armor is undoubtedly the highest bulletproof vest, which resists bows and arrows, or long spears and swords, but for this rifle bullet, the resistance is obviously much weaker. Amid the dense gunfire, the cavalry in front of them fell to the ground one after another. The neighing and screaming of horses came one after another.

Even so, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty still did not waver at all. They had experienced more wars and watched more of this scenario, so they were still orderly performing their combat methods, loading, shooting, aiming, and the range of the rifles was very limited, so they had to eliminate more enemies within this limited distance.

As for those enemies who are about to rush over, they don’t have to worry at all, because in front of them are heavy armored soldiers, who can resist the impact of cavalry very effectively. If the cavalry is an arrow, then the heavy armored infantry is a shield. On this battlefield, in addition to cavalry, heavy armored infantry is the best type of troops to deal with cavalry charges.

At this time, a faint blue smoke floated above the Ming camp, which was the smoke produced when the gunfire was fired. Amid the sound of gunfire, the three hundred meters in front of me actually had a line of death that could not be crossed by the powerful soldiers.

The other two soldiers were not as good as that. The confrontation between cold weapons and hot weapons had already clearly ended from the beginning.

However, those strong men also had the courage. Although there was an insurmountable line of death ahead of them, even though they were comrades fell to the ground in front of them.

They are still charging forward. For a cavalry, this distance is the dividing point between life and death. Once they rush through, this life is like fireworks rising from the sky. After blooming with bright colors, it will fade away.

For many high-powered cavalrymen, they also knew that they would face them, and at this time, many people also showed their courage. Even if they were shot, they still insisted on stepping on the horse, gritted their teeth and endured the pain, intending to use their bodies to block the bullets of the Ming Dynasty people. The comrades behind them had the chance to approach the artillery. They also knew very well that distance was their biggest enemy, and as long as they got close, these rifles would not have much way to take action.

Although the blood was slowly flowing out and the pain tortures the nerves like a devil, they still gritted their teeth and rode on the horse, holding the long sword in their hands tightly, at least hoping that another point would be able to cut the long sword off the enemy's neck.

Finally, in their seemingly charge, they had entered a very close distance, and behind them, more and more people were approaching here.

The enemy is right in front of you.

However, what made them desperate was that although these rifle soldiers immediately gave up the attack, they immediately retreated, and retreated in a very orderly manner. The heavy armored infantry quickly filled their positions, and the huge shields were erected. Behind each shield were five or six strong sweats. They used their bodies to support the shield, intending to welcome the impact of the powerful people. In addition, there were long carbines stretching out on the shield, and three people held each carbine together.

Just like sea water hitting the embankment, water splashed everywhere and smashed into pieces.

But this is blood splattering everywhere.

On the other two sides, five thousand cavalry each had already attacked at this time, and the heavily armored cavalry rushed towards the Gaoli cavalry who were already at the end of their power, just like a torrent of steel!

The short distance is simply a matter of a moment for the cavalry, and it is only a moment. The two are convenient to contact each other. If the cavalry set off, it is a log. However, after the barrage of the Ming bullets, they can now be considered a piece of rotten wood. The Ming cavalry is like a quick knife, cutting the rotten wood in half without hesitation.

During this impact, the well-trained Ming cavalry immediately showed the horse power of the slasher. The sabers with a certain arc are more suitable for chopping. Even if the armor of those high-powered men was not cut open, the powerful impact force of the sword also caused some of them to cut off the horse.

The gap in strength was reflected in an instant. When the last time he fought with Washu, Jianglang especially praised the sabre used in a carriage. This sabre is undoubtedly the crystallization of wisdom passed down from generation to generation by the nations on the grassland. It is very suitable for horse battles. Especially when chopping, because the knife has a curve, the soldiers who cut on armor or enemy will not get stuck, but drag it over.

Gao Qiang, because he has always been in a relatively peaceful period, was a vassal of the Ming Dynasty before, but they did not fight on a large scale. Therefore, many of their cavalry still use spears, and the spears are not very suitable for horse battles as a whole. Moreover, the opponent is a heavy armored soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and those spears cannot pierce the hard armor outside.

The fierce battle below can now be described as tragic, and the two sides are intertwined.

The battle lasted for a full hour, and after an hour, no one was standing at that time, with corpses all over the ground on the ground, and some wounded soldiers wailing. On the battlefield, there were no master's war horses everywhere, and there were no purpose.

The strong soldiers and the people on the city wall could only watch their cavalry rushing towards the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and then fell to the ground and died one by one. For the people, this was the first time that war was seen. It was not as simple as they imagined. When the enemy came, they would just be beaten back.

At the same time, a deep sense of powerlessness arose in their hearts. They had no way to help the cavalry. They could not shoot bows and arrows and cannons. They could only become a corpse like those cavalrymen when they left the city gate.

War is cruel. For many people, today is the first time that the wind blows, and the air has a bloody smell that people can't stand.

"Dong...!"
