Bah bah bah bah...
With a sound like exploding beans, the elite Jurchen knights fell off their horses with a crackling sound, like dumplings being dropped.
Seeing the comrade in the front row fall from his horse, the eyes of the Jurchen cavalry in the back row turned green.
One is scary, and the other is still scary.
If it is a regular battle and seeing their comrades killed in battle, the Jurchens will definitely become more courageous as they fight and avenge their comrades.
But not now.
He didn't even understand what the Yun family's army was using, but so many of his comrades died in one fell swoop. Who wouldn't be afraid of such an almost demonic method?
However, now that things have happened, there is no point in being afraid.
The speed of both sides has been increased, and it is impossible to stop just now.
After the Yun family's cavalry fired, they all hung their flintlock rifles on their saddles.
Well, what's going on?
Seeing the Yun family's cavalry put away their guns, the Jurchens suddenly felt that they could do it again.
It seems that the thing that releases the magic is a one-time use and can only be released once.
Okay, without the magic, as long as you rush over, there is a possibility of turning defeat into victory!
The Jurchen cavalry thought so, and so did Zong Wang, who was lagging behind.
Zong Wang was preparing to urge his horse forward. He must not let his men find out that he had deliberately fallen behind!
However, before Zong Wang could increase his horse speed, he was stunned.
Yun Jiajun didn't know when he took out two more small tubes.
Compared with the previous tubes, these two small tubes are shorter, only one third of the previous tubes.
Before the Jurchen cavalry could react, the small pipe in the Yun family's hand spurted out flames!
Bah bah bah bah...
Bah bah bah bah...
Following bursts of loud noises like exploding beans, the Jurchen knights fell off their horses one after another.
From a distance of more than ten meters, or even only a few meters, the Yun family army's muskets directly hit the face. Who can withstand it?
Yun Chao was really nice to Pan Guiying.
Each cavalryman was equipped with two short flintlock muskets in addition to a standard flintlock musket.
Yun Chao named the standard smoothbore flintlock rifle the Yunsui Type 1 rifle.
If it is a flintlock rifle with rifling, it is called Yunsui Type 2 rifle.
The short-barreled smoothbore flintlock gun is called the Yunsui Type 1 pistol.
The rifled short-barreled musket is called the Yunsui Type 2 pistol.
If you're far away, shoot him in the chest with a Yunsui Type 1 rifle.
If you get close, use the Yunsui Type 1 pistol to shoot in the face.
After firing their pistols, the cavalrymen inserted their pistols into their holsters, took off their sabers from their saddles, and started a fierce battle with the Jurchens behind them!
After three rounds of shooting, the Jurchen front row cavalry was reduced by more than half, and the cavalry behind were also frightened.
Under such circumstances, there is no courage left in a duel with the Yun family's cavalry with real swords and guns.
What's more, the Yun Family Army cavalry in the front row had fired all three guns, and the Yun Family Army Cavalry in the back row had not had enough.
They kept shooting through the gap between their comrades in the front row. Some Jurchens wanted to fight for their lives, but as soon as they raised their swords, they were knocked off their horses by a bullet flying from nowhere!
Boom!
The showdown between five thousand cavalry and more than ten thousand cavalry was a spectacular scene beyond human imagination. The billowing smoke and dust rising from the battlefield seriously affected the sightlines of both sides.
If the distance is more than twenty meters, almost nothing can be seen.
Those who shoot arrows no longer dare to shoot, and those who shoot guns no longer dare to fire.
Unless you get within 20 meters, it is easy to accidentally injure friendly forces!
Finally, the first round of hedging is over.
It's like two trains passing each other facing each other.
Originally, Zong Wang was planning to break through the interception of the Yun Family Army's cavalry and directly attack the rear formation of the Yun Family Army's infantry.
It was no longer possible. After the two sides clashed, Zong Wang almost didn't cry.
My own elite force of more than ten thousand has been reduced by at least one-third by visual inspection.
More than three thousand elites were lost like this.
It’s gone after just one meeting!
One third of the battle was lost in one hedging, and morale suddenly fell to the bottom.
The Jurchens had a hard time, and the cavalry of the Yun family army also had a hard time.
After all, the opponent is a Jurchen, and 20,000 Jurchens can defeat the Khitan army of 700,000.
The difference in number was doubled. Even though Yun Chao equipped the cavalry with one long, two short and three "high-tech" weapons, they still suffered a big loss.
Pan Guiying glanced at him and almost stopped crying.
The five thousand cavalrymen he had trained so hard had lost almost a thousand in just one duel!
The Jurchen cavalry lost 30% in the battle, and the Yun family cavalry lost 20% in the battle. It seems that they are not much better than the Jurchens.
However, it is not.
Before the duel between the two sides, the Yun family's cavalry was unsure.
Including Pan Guiying, everyone has been sweating.
The cavalry of the Yun Family Army had only been established for a short period of time. They were facing off against the Jurchens, who were said to be invincible, and their number was less than half that of the Jurchens. I was really unsure.
After this hedging, the cavalry of the Yun family army suddenly became stiff.
Pan Guiying is also confident.
The commander-in-chief is right, any Jurchen who is less than ten thousand and invincible is just bragging!
However, despite being confident, Pan Guiying is also a little scared.
Fortunately, Yun Chao had sent flintlock guns in advance. If he had continued to fight with the Jurchens with swords and guns as before, he didn't know how much his five thousand cavalry would have been lost!
"Quick, quick, reload!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity for the Jurchen cavalry to regroup, the Yun family army quickly reloaded their bullets.
Long guns are difficult to load on horseback, so only two short guns can be reloaded.
In a cavalry duel, you don't just rush through and then rush into the second round.
Without a tight formation, the charge would be in disarray.
Against a group of rabble without formation, as long as you form a good formation, you can easily win even if you stand still.
Therefore, after each cavalry charge, both sides had to regroup before charging a second time.
Of course, if you have the advantage in the first round of charging and your formation is not disordered after charging over, you can immediately turn around and charge, so that you can disperse the enemy who has no formation at all.
This was Zong Wang's original plan, because he didn't think that the Wu Dynasty's cavalry could break up his formation.
As a result, reality slapped Zong Wang hard, making him realize clearly that his plan to rely on cavalry to turn defeat into victory would not work at all.
Zong Wang was still hesitating whether to continue to confront the Yun family army or return to his own formation to protect the infantry formation.
The Yun Family Army didn't give him a chance to choose. After reloading his bullets, he rushed over.
Zong Wang had no choice but to bite the bullet, forcibly boost morale, and urge his horses to confront the Yun family army.
Although the Jurchens were mentally prepared for this collision, their morale was far less than the last time.
Before they could get within a hundred steps, they all released their bowstrings.
The cavalry of the Yun Family Army all wore half-length breastplates and wide-brimmed steel helmets on their heads. When they saw the Jurchens firing arrows, they immediately got down on their horses!
