In the blizzard, visibility was very low. While Tushetu Khan's army was gathering, regiments of camel cavalry emerged from the snow and fog in all directions.
The warriors of the cavalry army, although most of them were Mongolians, were skilled in bow and horse. But they still followed the combat discipline and formed a fence. A group of eleven people rushed forward shoulder to shoulder.
Tu Sheitu Khan's outlying camp fell before his eyes. The Mongols who ran out of their tents were stabbed down by the spears of the camel cavalry.
The strength of a single person is not enough to fight against wall riding. A wall pressed against him, and a dense barrage of spears pierced him, unable to stop him at all.
There are fully 200,000 people in this camp. The entire tribe of Tushetu Khan spends the winter here. They have 40,000 strong men. Among them, there are 30,000 cavalrymen.
Turigan Tabu Nang quickly gathered his 300 men. He had thirty armored elite cavalry, which was already an enviable force in the territory of Tushetu Khan.
Mongolia was short of iron. Except for the 50,000 to 60,000 horse-mounted cavalry equipped by Anda Khan, other tribes did not have much armor at all. This is also the main reason why Lin Dan Khan cannot defeat Jiannu.
"Warriors of Tu Xie Tu, follow me and rush over. This grassland is not a place for Han people to show off their power. Hula." Turigan shouted loudly while holding up his scimitar.
"Hula, Hula." His three hundred warriors also roared with blood. Then he followed him and rushed toward a group of wall riders emerging from the snow and fog on the opposite side.
Brother Tang Zhang yelled, "Raise your gun," and when charging on the wall, he pointed his spear diagonally toward the sky to prevent him from stabbing his own people in front. At this time, with a cry, they all leveled their spears.
Come and try it quickly. 】
After them, row after row of wall riders rushed out of the snow and fog.
Their hair and beards were all white, covered with frost, and there were even small flakes of ice. The heavy weight of the camels and their wide camel paws trampled the earth, making a huge rumbling sound.
When a camel runs, its left and right sides move forward in the same direction. So it's a little wobbly when riding on it. This caused the frost and snow on the military coats to crack. From a distance, everyone was surrounded by snow and fog, like a group of gods and demons rushing out of the ice hell.
The Mongolians who were rushing towards them were so heartbroken that they looked at them. Who was this man? He was like a withered snowman.
Turigan rushed to the camel cavalry and realized that it was a stupid idea for Mongolian horses and camels to hedge against each other. Because one side suffered too much.
Mongolian horses are short, with a shoulder height of only about 1.3 meters. These camels were obviously not local species. Between the two humps, the height at the shoulders was a full 1.85 meters. The height of the hump is 2.15 meters. Moreover, the weight of a camel is about 750 kilograms, while the Mongolian horse generally only weighs 250 kilograms.
The Mongols used scimitars, but the opposite sides were 4.5-meter long spears. What's even worse is that the opponent is condescending and stabbing downwards. The Mongols fell into a completely passive situation.
And opposite is a row of eleven camel cavalry riding on the wall. The Mongols were cavalry in dispersed formations.
As soon as the two sides engaged in battle, Turigan was dumbfounded.
He and the two Nakiers on his left and right had to face eleven people in a tight formation on the opposite side. As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands, so how can three scimitars defeat eleven spears on the other side?
Amidst a burst of screams, Turigan and the two Nak'er who were guarding him were directly pierced by a row of spears flashing with cold light and fell off their horses.
Then he was trampled by a camel until his bones and tendons were broken.
A row of spears rushed into the cavalry team with gleaming cold light. The cavalry were directly dispersed. Because such a dense wall riding side by side is impossible for the Mongolian horsemen who have not been strictly trained in formation to resist.
The two sides collided. The camel weighed three times as much as the Mongolian horse and directly knocked the Mongolian cavalry away. They lacked the protection of iron armor, so they fell off their horses and were trampled to death by camels.
The camel's huge feet stepped on the back of a fallen Mongolian cavalryman.
With a kacha sound, his chest was directly stepped on and shattered. Guts spewed out of the mouth. It was painted all over the ground, and the snow was dyed red.
Immediately afterwards, another group of wall riders rushed from behind, and his body was trampled again. After several rounds of wall riders, it had turned into a puddle of mud.
The whole camp was surrounded by the sounds of people shouting and horses neighing, and there were the explosions of grenades everywhere.
Fire and smoke were everywhere. There was a scuffle everywhere. Countless wall riders were charging around the camp. Whenever I see Mongolians gathering there, I immediately rush over and disperse them.
Tuxie Tuhan was neatly dressed and mounted a group of majestic white horses. The horses' harnesses were all gold-plated. Very luxurious. Finally twenty thousand soldiers gathered around him. This is already the limit of what can be done currently.
There was fighting on all sides, shouts and neighing of horses everywhere, and other strong men and warriors could no longer come.
"Blow the trumpet, let's move forward, defeat these shameless Han people, and let them see who is the master of this grassland." Tuxie Tuhan's old voice roared. Then the charge was launched.
At this time, the strong wind stopped, the flying snow and fog fell, the sky and the earth became clear, and the situation ahead was clearly seen.
In the distance, countless huge fiery red camels lined up in a dense formation, standing in the distance.
Countless soldiers had already dismounted from the camels and formed three rows of musket arrays. The third-generation flintlock rifles have been raised.
An Sanxi was riding on a camel, squinting his eyes as he looked at the 20,000-strong cavalry group charging in the distance.
The camel cavalry has tried to hedge against the cavalry before, and the camel cavalry won completely. Now, An Sanxi wanted to see how the camel cavalry dismounted to form a fusilier array to fight against the Mongolian cavalry.
Soon Tuxie Tuhan's cavalry group had rushed six hundred meters away.
"Everyone obeys my order and is not allowed to shoot without permission." An Sanxi ordered loudly.
What is needed at this time is to stay calm. Thousands of galloping horses coming from the opposite side will cause huge psychological pressure on the soldiers, making it very easy to open fire in advance.
The third generation flintlock can reach the level of the later model of the Brown Spey flintlock equipped by the British lobster soldiers during the Second Crow Period.
An Sanxi once again reviewed the performance of the flintlock gun. I feel a little more confident.
Projectile mass: one ounce of lead shot (approximately 28 grams)
Maximum range: approximately 250 yards (approximately 228 meters)
Maximum shooting range (100 shots): 150-200 yards (about 137-182 meters)
Effective maximum range (single shot): 100-150 yards (about 91-137 meters)
Best range: 75-100 yards (about 68-91 meters)
Musket weight: nine pounds (approximately 4 kilograms)
Best effect: 30 yards (can penetrate 3/8" iron or 5" oak)
Best rate of fire: 4-5 rounds per minute
Actual rate of fire: 2-3 rounds per minute
"Everyone was there. The enemy troops rushed to 500 meters, and the camel cannon opened fire. The enemy troops rushed to within 100 meters, and the flintlock rifles opened fire. After the rifles fired four rounds of ammunition, everyone lay down, and the camel cannon loaded shot shells. Lie down and fire once. Then fire three Camel Gatling 79 machine guns." An Sanxi gave the order.
Cheng Lin and Cheng Hu stood in the first row, their hands holding the guns shaking a little.
Watching the cavalry in the distance shaking the earth, the horses' hooves raised up the snow and fog in the sky and rushed towards them. Both of them were a little nervous. They were both enlisted in the militia and had never participated in actual combat.
However, they both understood that they must be steady at this time. If anyone panics and fires first, causing the entire battle line to fire, they will be punished by military law.
They all placed their hands on the outside of the trigger guard to avoid being nervous and firing.
As long as the trigger is pulled, the flintlock gun will fire.
Yang Fan's elastic yellow steel has excellent performance. There is always about 20% or even 40% misfire rate for every 100 times of brown Sibei's activation. This is because of the poor performance of yellow steel. The misfire rate of Yang Fan's rifle is less than 1%.
"Brother, do you think we can use muskets to stop these cavalry?" Lin Hu asked.
"Shut up, don't talk." Captain Morigen roared angrily, "Wait for orders, don't fire first, otherwise military law will be imposed."
