Arutai sat upright on the horse, looking at the countless charging knights, his eyes flashing.
After twenty years of recuperation and twenty years of annexation and expansion, the power of the Tatars is no longer what it used to be!
This time, on the grassland, on the territory of the Tatars, we will deal with the main force of the Ming Dynasty!
war!
Arutai shouted, urging the sergeant to charge.
The thunder of horse hooves roars across the fields as if the sky is about to collapse.
The cavalry is fierce, like a stormy sea, surging between heaven and earth.
Sa Churi charged at the front of the team, staring at the Ming army camp in the distance. He picked up the long bow, drew an arrow, filled the bow suddenly, and the arrow shot through the sky.
The sharp arrow stepped on the sunlight, flashing a cold light, and then spiraled down, driving a black cloud and covering it!
This is an elite group of mounted archers, with a strong bow that can shoot two hundred paces!
The Ming Dynasty put the infantry in the front, which was seeking death!
The cavalry is invincible against the infantry. Once the infantry suffers heavy casualties, the front line will collapse and the morale of the army will be in chaos. Even gods will not be able to clean up the situation!
Zhu Di, you are too arrogant and think that firearms can really solve everything. Oh, you are wrong!
Sachuri lay on the horse, urging the horse to gallop, watching the arrows about to fall, with bloodthirsty excitement in his eyes. The Ming army's forward army began to be in chaos, and they were actually crowded together.
You idiot, the infantry are staying together and people are touching each other, how can you take action?
Sa Churi was filled with contempt. Suddenly, his pupils suddenly condensed, and he saw black shields appearing above the heads of the Ming infantry. The shields were actually connected, forming a huge support surface, like a forward-leaning umbrella. Cover the heads of the infantry.
A group of nine!
Only then did Sa Churi notice that the Ming army was scattered and crowded in a regular pattern, all in groups of nine.
Arrow falls!
There was a clanging sound, not to mention injuring and killing the Ming army, but even the shields were not penetrated, and some arrows were even bounced off.
Qian Ren, the gunman of the Ming Dynasty, stretched out his hand, caught a fallen arrow, grinned and said to the sergeant on the side: "How can this broken iron head also break our snapping turtle shield?"
Fire Gunman Baoguan raised his head and glanced at the shield above his head. This was not a heavy push shield, but a thing designed to replace the push shield.
There is no mystery inside the snapping turtle shield, but the outside is like a snapping turtle, with dense bumps all over the shield, like non-sharp thorns.
It is said that it was forged by the Craftsman Academy with the help of five steam engines using a special method. This kind of snapping turtle shield can not be broken by ordinary arrows, but even the fragments of the Crouching Tiger Cannon can be blocked. Weapons can strike on it, and even more It is easy to curl the blade and can offset the opponent's strength to a greater extent.
The Tatar cavalry's best and most powerful weapon is not the saber, but the bow and arrow.
With the Snapping Turtle Shield, the strongest threat to the cavalry is gone.
Although there are not many snapping turtle shields, they are enough to take care of the front troops. As for the sergeants behind, there is no need for this special shield, because everyone will not let their arrows fly past.
The cavalry rushed over and fired two rounds of arrows. They did not damage many Ming troops. There was even no movement in the entire forward camp.
One hundred and fifty steps!
Xu Huizu waved his hand, and the orderly soldiers shouted at the top of their lungs: "Fight!"
"war!"
Zhou Dazhi screamed, veins appeared on his neck.
The fire gunner sergeant squatted, bent down, or stood, aiming the fire gun in his hand at the charging cavalry.
Boom, boom, boom!
The sound of the firecrackers being fired resounded like a chorus of drums!
The moment the sergeants from the three rows in front finished shooting, they all lay down on the ground, staring at the cavalrymen who fell from their horses in a prostrate posture in the distance. Before they could take out the gunpowder and lead bullets, there was a burst of shooting behind them, and then another lying down. Pour a batch.
Dense lead bullets flew across the grassland and shot into the chests of each cavalryman. The cavalrymen fell off their horses. Some of the horses were injured, their front hooves bent sharply, their necks landed on the ground first, and the whole horses turned over.
Sa Churi buried his head lower and turned his head
Looking at it, the familiar figure fell down in an instant, without even a cry!
The war horses were urged to the extreme.
Sachuri only felt the wind blowing, and a frightening sound came to his ears again. Then the war horse suddenly fell down. Sachuri grabbed the longbow, flew out, rolled twice on the ground, and grabbed the longbow. , the arrow is on the bowstring.
His body seemed to be hit by something, and it shook uncontrollably.
Sa Churi tried his best to pull the long bow, but found that the bow was so heavy at this time. No matter how hard he tried, the bow could not be opened!
Something pierced his cheek, and blood began to crawl out.
Sachuri let go of the bow string and watched the arrow fly towards the sky. It was ridiculous that it only flew a little distance before falling down.
boom!
Sa Churi lay down and looked at the sky with his eyes open, and then he was covered by a black shadow.
Horse hooves trampled and the world went dark.
Zhou Dazhi watched the Tatar cavalry being eliminated in batches with a smile on his face.
The fire gun soldiers of the Ming Dynasty no longer use the three-line combat method. The extensive use of firearms is enough to support more advanced combat methods, such as the combination of the three-line combat method and the crawling combat method.
A group of sergeants formed a dense and uninterrupted line of battle, while a group of sergeants were lying on the ground, holding blazing guns in their hands, aiming and firing to hunt down the fish that slipped through the net.
There are certain flaws in the crawling method. As a type of "muzzle-loading gun", the crawling posture brings certain difficulties to loading gunpowder and lead. Fortunately, the use of a purge bar increases convenience.
The biggest advantage of the crawling method is that there are enough people, and with the fire sergeant behind, the speed requirement is not so strict. Once the firepower is strong enough, and it will not block the sight of the sergeant behind, this method makes it easier to aim. Easy and effortless...
In the past, it was impossible to use the prostrate warfare method because the cavalry was too fast and the muskets were too slow to operate. There was no continuous fire network. Lying on the ground was not convenient for escaping, but also affected the follow-up of the troops behind. It was also easy to directly become the flesh pad of the opponent's cavalry.
Firearms have developed to a stage, and tactics have followed up to a stage. This is the result of the combination of the Military Academy and the Beijing Army. The popularity of firearms, the increase in the reloading speed of firecrackers, and the increase in range have made it possible to form a dense firepower network, making them a weapon for harvesting cavalry.
The Tatar cavalry charged with all their might, and their fearless spirit is worthy of admiration.
It's just that Arutai really underestimated the intensity of Daming's firearms. It seemed that in his impression, firearms should be slow and sparse, something that would end in two hits.
But now, the Ming army had no intention of stopping. Fireguns kept firing deadly lead bullets, and the cavalry kept dying.
Benya's hands began to become cold.
The Ming army was too terrifying, and their firearms were too deadly. These elite and brave prairie men had a spirit that was not afraid of death, but their deaths did not bring any meaning!
A large number of cavalry were blocked a hundred steps away from the Ming army, and even at great sacrifice they could not reach within fifty steps of the Ming army!
Saber, bow and arrow, brave, strong.
When facing the dense fire cannons, there is no meaning anymore, only death is left, howling in the blood-stained autumn wind.
