The armored war horse beneath Yu Jiaxuan paved the ground restlessly, and he was also a little worried at this time.
Because this friendly army seems to have no chance of winning!
But the order he received was to wait until the Jin soldiers were defeated before leading the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Army in pursuit. So even if he was worried at this time, he could only wait patiently for the military order.
As for Wen Junshi and other old parties, they are even more confused about what the situation is now.
They had seen the terrifying power of the new artillery before, and a few shots could sink a large Jinbing ship.
But at this time, the Flying Tiger Army had no idea at all about the strange-looking new weapons held by the Flying Tiger Army, which had spikes on the head similar to spears but were much shorter than spears.
It is more like a special combination of a musket and a spear.
Although they couldn't understand what kind of weapon this was, judging from the formation of the Flying Tiger Army, the old party officials felt that this was really not optimistic.
Because this formation completely subverted their previous understanding of the battlefield.
If pikemen are used to fight cavalry, they must form a square and dense array so that they can confront the cavalry head-on.
But even a dense phalanx of pikemen is very easy to collapse instantly when faced with an unreasonable heavy cavalry like Iron Buddha.
After all, people are not machines. It is impossible to watch a half-ton steel behemoth charging towards them and remain indifferent. It is impossible to watch a war horse break into the crowd and trample the friendly troops in front to break bones and muscles, and still remain calm.
Therefore, most of the Qi Dynasty's troops simply collapsed when they encountered Tiefu Tu.
At this time, the formation formed by the Feihu Army was not even as good as those of the Qi Army that was about to collapse at the first touch.
At this time, the Qi army still had a lot of research on formations, but the Feihu army formed a formation similar to a "one-word formation". The entire team was spread out on the shore. It seemed that there were weak points everywhere. .
Moreover, these infantrymen were basically unarmored, did not carry divine arm bows or other weapons, and did not have the cooperation of pikemen or other arms.
The strange weapon in their hands is the only equipment on their bodies.
How is it possible to go to the Iron Pagoda and the Kidnapping Horse?
Even though this is a new type of musket, the musket is not taken seriously in this era. It is no better than a strong bow or a hard crossbow.
Use it to deal with Iron Buddha? I'm afraid it's because he didn't die quickly enough.
The old party officials were all puzzled.
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and soon, Jin Bing's cavalry is approaching!
The kidnapping horse was faster than the Iron Buddha, and it had already come around from the flank.
At a distance of nearly a hundred meters, the Jin soldiers on Guaizi's horse had already taken out their bows, ready to set up their bows and arrows, and launch the first round of harassing attacks on the Qi army.
And all the faces of these kidnapping cavalrymen were filled with smiles.
Because in their opinion, this battle is already a sure thing.
The range of the riding bow is not as good as the walking bow, let alone the divine arm bow.
Therefore, in previous battles, the Jin soldiers' cavalry often had to withstand the first round of divine arm bow fire before they could cause effective damage to the Qi army.
Although the Divine Arm Bow, as a major weapon in the army, cannot be equipped by all members and can only appear in the hands of a small number of elite troops and elite infantry, it still caused a lot of trouble for the Jin soldiers.
The reason why they can withstand the damage of the God's Arm Bow and launch an attack is because the cavalry of the Jin Army are indeed elite. Even if there are casualties, they will never retreat or collapse, and they firmly believe that they will win the war.
But at this time, the cavalry was almost 100 meters in front of the Qi army's infantry, but these infantry were still motionless and did not make any reaction?
For the Jin people, the next script is completely predictable.
First, the kidnapping horses started to harass from both wings, taking turns to attack the weak positions on both sides of the infantry formation with mounted fire, causing a commotion in the infantry.
Immediately afterwards, the Tiefutu heavy cavalry broke through unreasonably from the center and penetrated the Qi army's infantry array.
After that, it was a massacre without any suspense.
After all, the Qi army has a large river behind them. Even if they want to escape, they have no way to escape.
What's more, how could the two-legged Qi army outrun the Jin army's cavalry?
In an instant, Tiefutu and Guaizima had entered a distance of sixty or seventy meters from the dense formation of the Flying Tiger Army.
At this time, the cavalrymen of Guaizima had begun to set up their bows and prepare to start the first round of shooting.
The shooting range of the riding bow is enough to cover such a long distance. Although the hit rate is not too high, the first round of shooting is mainly used to harass and disrupt the opponent's formation.
Compared with the infantry bow, the cavalry bow has a shorter range, but the cavalry archer can often defeat the infantry phalanx. This is because the cavalry can repeatedly attack the front row or sharp corners of the infantry phalanx and other prominent positions during high-speed movement, and focus fire instantly. causing serious casualties.
However, it was difficult for the infantry to concentrate on attacking the light cavalry.
The first round of arrows fired by cavalry fell one after another.
Although the hit rate of cavalry shooting at this distance is not very high, there are still some unlucky soldiers in the Flying Tiger Army who are hit by arrows.
But what everyone didn't expect was that the others didn't move at all, still holding their flintlock guns and waiting patiently.
The teammates who were hit by arrows were completely ignored by these people.
The members of the old party who were watching the battle from a high place could no longer restrain themselves. Isn't this obviously a target for Jin Bing?
Why not fight back?
Judging from the way these Flying Tiger soldiers held the weapon, it seemed to be a long-range weapon. But why are they holding their hands flat at this time and doing nothing?
Or is this just a new type of spear that does not have the ability to attack from a distance?
Perhaps the only good news at this time is that there were casualties among them but they still didn't collapse on the spot. But what's the use of just being beaten?
Li Hongyun was also standing in the formation. At this time, he said loudly: "Stay steady - maintain the formation -"
This Flying Tiger Army is trained purely for the use of flintlock rifles. In addition to shooting, they also have an important training content, which is to stand in line.
Stand in a neat queue, advance and retreat together. No matter what happens, you are not allowed to retreat or shoot. Violators will be severely punished.
As for why he hadn't fired yet when he was sixty or seventy meters away, the reason was actually very simple. Of course, he wanted to get closer before firing.
Although the long-range hit rate of the flintlock gun is slightly improved compared to the matchlock gun, the improvement is not obvious. At a distance of seventy-five meters, the hit rate was less than 60%.
Moreover, although the reloading speed of the flintlock gun has also been improved, the improvement is not too great. It can only fire three rounds per minute.
The biggest advantage of the flintlock gun over the matchlock gun is that it can stand in a dense formation.
Therefore, in order to maximize your advantage, there is only one secret - wait until the opponent is close enough before hitting.
Although this secret is simple and crude, not every army can achieve it. After all, after entering 100 meters, the distance between the two sides is already very close, and to withstand the opponent's first round of fire without firing means that you are gambling with your life.
In terms of probability, since the distance is still relatively far, the number of hits in the entire array will not be particularly large, but for a specific individual, being shot means amputation or death. It is difficult for these soldiers to bear it.
Therefore, in the era of queuing and shooting tactics, whichever side can hold back and then shoot will have an absolute advantage.
The battle with the Jinbing cavalry at this time is actually the same.
Of course, Li Hongyun had calculated that the range of Jin Bing's cavalry bow would not be too far, so he dared to attack at a closer distance. If it is a walking bow with a longer range and more lethality, then you have to change to another style of play.
The cavalry was very fast, and in an instant they were within fifty meters.
For the cavalry, this is a distance that can be crossed in an instant.
The cavalrymen of the Tiefu Tu have already lassoed each other with leather ropes, and have reached their fastest speed, ready to crush these desperate Qi troops in front of them with the irresistible torrent of steel.
However, in the next second, Li Hongyun finally gave the order.
"put!"
Following his order, the soldiers who had been forcibly controlling themselves with the reactions developed in training finally pulled the trigger against the enemy troops that were already pressing down like a mountain.
"boom!"
"Bang bang bang——"
Intensive gunfire rang out!
After firing, the soldiers in the front row did not look at the results of their shooting. Instead, they bowed slightly to make room for the soldiers in the back row to attack. At the same time, they began to pull out the purge bar to clean the barrel like muscle memory. , take out the fixed-loading ammunition and install the propellant, then insert the remaining fixed-loading ammunition into the barrel and compact it with a purge bar.
This complex step has completely become muscle memory through training day after day.
Of course, since it was their first time on the battlefield, there were still many aboriginal soldiers who made mistakes, such as inserting a second bullet without realizing that the bullet had not been fired, or the reloading speed was greatly reduced in a hurry, etc. wait.
But none of these will have much impact.
As the gunfire rang out, a burst of smoke rose in front of the array, and a loud noise was made at the same time.
Not far in front of them, the galloping Iron Buddha cavalry fell neatly like a mountain.
This is a veritable defeat!
Obviously, these Iron Buddha cavalry could not figure out why they were covered in heavy armor, but they were still inexplicably pierced by something flying from a distance.
Some of the horses were shot, and the knights fell down with a dazed expression; others were the knights of the shot, and they only felt a sharp pain, and then quickly became unconscious.
In front of the muskets, no matter how powerful the heavy armor is, it is only equivalent to a piece of paper. It cannot provide any protection at all. On the contrary, it will drag them down even more miserably.
The heavy cavalry of Iron Buddha is even worse, because every three horses are connected with leather ropes. If one horse is shot and falls to the ground, the other two horses will also be dragged down.
Originally, the short distance of fifty meters could be rushed over in an instant, but now they found that this distance was like a chasm.
The horses in the front row fell to the ground, and the horses in the back row were also tripped. The arrogant Iron Buddha encountered a blow that did not belong to this era, and was harvested one after another like crops.
In this huge chaos, the soldiers in the rear row of the Flying Tiger Army continued to shoot, and the soldiers in the front row also continued to shoot after loading...
The entire Iron Buddha Temple collapsed almost instantly.
As for the two wings, Guaizima's outflanking became a joke.
After the first round of mounted shooting, they originally felt good about themselves and raised their bows and arrows again. However, before the second round of mounted shooting started, the opponent had already opened fire.
The Kaizima also collapsed in an instant just like the Iron Buddha.
Originally, the kidnapper horse had an advantage against the infantry phalanx, because the infantry square formation was a rectangle or approximately a square, and the kidnapper horse could form a partial attack by constantly riding and shooting at the corners.
But at this time, the Flying Tiger Army formed a long array, which meant that Guaizima could only effectively attack the opponent by entering a range that was almost parallel to the array.
Once the Kaizima cavalry and the Flying Tiger Army enter a parallel state, the competition will be purely about the lethality of the weapons in the hands of both sides.
The advantage of the dense array in the flintlock era is that firing together can make up for the low hit rate of muskets to the greatest extent. Someone can always hit anyway.
So, under a round of intensive shooting, the kidnappers also began to fall to the ground one after another.
The torrent formed by the three cavalry was like water hitting an invisible wall and instantly collapsed!
But the charge of the Jin Army's cavalry was still not over.
Because during the charge of the Iron Buddha cavalry, the cavalry in the rear row had no idea what was happening in the front row. Perhaps they had seen the cavalry in the front row falling in pieces, but it was impossible for them to stop.
As for the Flying Tiger Army, they were just waiting for work to take turns shooting.
These soldiers formed five long arrays, each array was about half a meter apart. Each array could fire three shots within a minute. This number multiplied by five means that every four seconds There was a dense volley from the bell.
Under the two conditions of a dense enough formation and a close enough distance, they did not need to aim carefully and shoot carefully.
Just use the fastest speed to pull the trigger towards the huge targets ahead.
The iron pagoda began to fall in large numbers as soon as they entered within fifty meters. The heavy cavalry in the front row rolled on the ground and dragged down the cavalry in the rear, thus becoming a living target for the Flying Tiger Army to shoot.
The situation on the kidnapping horse's side was slightly better. After all, they were light cavalry and were not connected with leather ropes, so they could still escape.
At this time, the fate of Tiefu Tu was worse than that of a kidnapping horse.
After all, everyone is equal in front of a gun. No matter how thick the armor is, it cannot block a shot. On the contrary, it will reduce one's mobility.
In the age of cold weapons, we could often see warriors who were full of arrows and fought like hedgehogs, but we had never seen a monster that was still alive and kicking after being shot twice.
After all, this is the ultimate trial, not the expedition of the Orderers. The power that demons can project into this slice of history is very limited.
Therefore, these golden soldiers only have a slight increase in their fighting will, but their actual combat effectiveness has not improved.
But the increase in fighting will has turned into a negative state.
Yu Jiaxuan, who was waiting with heavy cavalry at the side, was completely stunned.
Can you still fight like this?
The scene that happened in front of him was completely beyond his understanding. He only saw gunpowder smoke shooting out of those strange-shaped spears, accompanied by a huge noise, and then he saw the heavy cavalry falling one after another close at hand. He fell down and never got up again.
The feeling of the ancients at this time was like that of modern people who saw a torrent of steel advancing from a tank regiment, only to have a row of infantrymen with anti-material firearms kill them all instantly.
There is only one feeling, and that is incredible!
Even Yu Jiaxuan felt that the heavy cavalry he brought was not good at all.
Originally, he thought that heavy cavalry was the most powerful unit in the world, and could easily crush any enemy they encountered. But now he put himself in the Iron Buddha's shoes and thought about it. , it seems that the only fate is to be massacred unilaterally...
As for the old party members who were high up, they were even more stunned at this moment and could not say a word.
They simply could not imagine that the arrogant Iron Buddha could be wiped out so easily.
"Demon...demon magic..."
"Could it be that a heavenly master descended to earth? Spreading beans and making an army?"
Two old party veterans with gray beards said tremblingly.
For people in this era, this is not like something that can be done by human power, but more like magic and magic.
Even Wen Junshi was completely stunned. After a long time, he looked at Wang Wenchuan: "What on earth is this?"
Wang Wenchuan, played by Chu Ge, smiled and said: "This is the new burst gun recently developed by the Ministry of Industry."
Wen Junshi murmured: "The new burst gun... its power is so terrifying..."
Chu Ge smiled softly and said, "Yushi Wen, at this moment, I want to ask you a question.
“Can the ancestral method defeat the Iron Buddha?”
Wen Junshi's face changed slightly and he said: "This is the power of firearms, what does it have to do with the ancestral method?"
Chu Ge sighed: "This is where your fallacy, Censor Wen, lies.
"Do you think this victory was only because of firearms? Have you ever thought about where firearms came from?
"Behind these firearms is a full decade of innovation carried out by the Ministry of Industry. From the production and research of firearms to the training of the army, every link in this process consumes a lot of money.
“How could we develop such a flying tiger army without the money provided to the state treasury by the new law?
"If there is no Flying Tiger Army and the Jin soldiers move south, the whole territory of Qi Dynasty will be ignited with flames of war. At that time, it will be like a tragic situation of 'white bones exposed in the wild and no roosters crowing for thousands of miles.'
“When the time comes, no matter how many fertile fields there are, no matter how many cattle, sheep and livestock there are, and no matter how many diligent farmers there are, they will inevitably become dead souls under the sword of the golden man.
"After a fire, how many ruins will be left in this prosperous world of flowers and flowers?
“You always say that the world’s wealth is fixed and the laws of our ancestors are immutable.
"But if you continue to implement the methods of your ancestors according to your method, how will you get the money and food to build such a strong army?
"Censor Wen, think about it carefully. If you took over the position ten years ago, and ten years later the kidnappers from Tiefu Tu come knocking on your doorstep, can you use the methods of your ancestors to dissuade them?"
Chu Ge's words left Wen Junshi speechless.
If it were ten years ago, he would never admit that the new law had any benefits. It was definitely a law that was harmful to the country and the people.
But now, the naked reality was before him, making him unable to refute.
Indeed, on the surface, it seems that this victory was due to new firearms, but where did the new firearms come from?
Ultimately, it was the new law that saved money for the state treasury.
If there is no such money and food, even if similar technology is available, there will be no money to mass-produce firearms and equip troops. On the contrary, even if there is no such firearm technology, as long as you have money, you can build a powerful army with cold weapons. way to fight to the death with Jin Bing.
Wen Junshi keeps saying that he supports the ancestral method, but will Jin Bing tell you about the ancestral method?
If Wen Junshi took over the position ten years ago, it is almost certain that there will be no change today from ten years ago.
By that time, Qi Dynasty's soldiers were still on the verge of collapse, unable to resist at all.
The Jin soldiers' iron pagoda and guaizi horse can be invincible along the way and level the entire Qi Dynasty.
When the time comes, not to mention that the ancestral laws cannot be retained, I am afraid that all the royal family members and important ministers will be kidnapped to the Kingdom of Jin to perform the sheep-raising ceremony, and spend their lives in shame and anger.
The people of the Qi Dynasty who became slaves of the subjugated country could only live a life worse than slaves under the butcher's knife and horse whip of Jin Bing.
Is there a certain amount of wealth in the world?
At that time, the wealth of the world will no longer be certain, because a large amount of wealth will be destroyed, leaving only ruins and corpses to people.
…
"Push forward!"
Li Hongyun gave an order, and the soldiers holding flintlock guns began to advance in an orderly manner.
After rounds of intensive shooting, the few iron pagodas had been completely wiped out.
The Iron Buddha's combat method is that they can only move forward and cannot retreat, and their expensive armor and strict training mean that their number is very rare.
The history of the flintlock that eliminated the knight class was repeated here at an extremely fast speed.
The situation of Kaizima was better. After the heavy casualties in the first round, the Kaizima in the back row realized that something was wrong.
Even the heavily armored mass murderer Iron Buddha has been destroyed, so what's the point of them continuing to charge forward?
With the retreat of Guaizima, the entire Niuzhuji Jin soldiers also began to have a chain reaction, abandoning their helmets and armor and running northward desperately.
As Li Hongyun ordered and the soldiers holding flintlock guns began to advance slowly but methodically, Yu Jiaxuan and the heavy cavalry of the Feihu Army, who had been waiting so hard, finally moved out.
"rush!"
With an angry shout, the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Army chased the fleeing Jin soldiers like wind and thunder!
At this time, Yu Jiaxuan's poem appeared in all the players' minds.
"I think back then, when we were strong and strong, we could swallow thousands of miles like a tiger!"
It's just that at this time, he no longer needs to use poems to remember the bravery of his predecessors. He himself leads a heavy cavalry unit with gold and iron horses, and he has the momentum to swallow thousands of miles like a tiger!
The cavalry of the Flying Tiger Army galloped away, cutting into pieces and scattering those golden soldiers who still wanted to resist, and then ate them mercilessly.
The war horses passed by, and the golden soldiers who fell to the ground and struggled were accurately harvested by arrows.
"The horse moves so fast, the bow moves like a thunderbolt."
Yu Jiaxuan's vision looked into the distance. That was the direction from which the Jin soldiers came, and it was also the old land that he wanted to regain.
"Yuan Jia hastily sealed the wolf as a coward, and won a hasty visit to the north.
"Forty-three years, I still remember the beacon fire on Yangzhou Road."
These two sentences, on the surface, are about the Yuanjia Northern Expedition, but in fact they are alluding to the Longqing Northern Expedition.
They were all overjoyed at their success and rushed the Northern Expedition, only to return in disastrous defeat.
In history, before the Longqing Northern Expedition, Yu Jiaxuan had already made many submissions and dedicated "Ten Thousand Volumes of Pingrong Policy" to the emperor, but he never received any reuse.
The Northern Expedition, which he had waited so long for, did not have his share, and it ended hastily, which made people sigh.
When he wrote this poem, forty-three years had passed since he returned to the Qi Dynasty with fifty horsemen and robbers.
More than thirty years before his fifty-horse robber camp returned to the Qi Dynasty, the Jin soldiers went south to capture Yangzhou, and the emperor fled in panic. This was the "Fenghuo Yangzhou Road".
Yu Jiaxuan wanted to avenge his shame all his life, but Qi Dynasty did not give him this opportunity.
Now, he finally has this opportunity.
Use the Flying Tiger Army that you have trained with your own hands to fight to the death with the Golden Soldiers!
"How many things have happened through the ages?
"You can never stop the flow of the Yangtze River."
This poem was written by Yu Jiaxuan at about the same period. It can be understood as the open-mindedness of letting everything go down the drain, or the feeling of powerlessness in the face of the rise and fall of the ages.
Yes, in the past history, how many things were helpless?
There are countless people with lofty ideals who want to change the status quo and make some achievements, but in the end they can only go to waste.
And now Yu Jiaxuan, at least at this moment, in this slice of history, can no longer express such emotions.
Because he has become a historical trend maker on the bank of the surging Yangtze River.
In the high-altitude camp in Niuzhuji, the civilian players watched as Yu Jiaxuan led the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Army on a rampage, killing the Jin soldiers to pieces and defeating them.
After a long time, someone sighed sincerely.
"very nice."
