1530 Cossack Beast!
In the history of human warfare, the struggle between infantry and cavalry has always been the mainstream of warfare, and cavalry has always been a weapon of attack on the battlefield by relying on its strong strategic movement ability and assault attributes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The infantry, on the other hand, was much weaker and was always on the defensive side when facing the cavalry. But the infantry was not helpless in the face of cavalry, and over the long years the infantry had accumulated countless effective means of restraining the cavalry.
Spear formations are combined with archers, traps, fire attacks, tripwires, hook and sickle spears...... In the era of cold weapons alone, there were countless means to deal with cavalry.
But these means were incomplete after all, and it was not until the appearance of muskets that the end of cavalry was announced. How much does it cost to train a cavalryman, and how much does it cost to build a rifle with a few bullets?
The extremely low cost finally gave the agrarian civilization a sharp weapon against the cavalry, and the popularization of firearms put an end to the threat of nomads to the agrarian civilization.
But everything needs a process, in the face of history, a hundred years is just a flick of the fingers, but on the battlefield, in the fight of real swords and guns, every minute is a critical moment that determines life and death.
If the Volunteers could know the enemy's sneak attack an hour in advance, then their defense would be more complete, at least a few Gatling heavy machine guns would be placed in the firing position, some mines could be planted at the front of the battlefield, and even some simple horse traps could be dug in the trenches.
It's a pity that there is no such thing as a war if, and these soldiers who were banished to the main battlefield can build such a simple defensive position in an hour, which is already their limit.
The Cossacks, who were experienced in combat, had already found a way to break through the front without using their brains, only with intuition, dispersed assaults, and moved at high speed, without sparing horsepower, as long as they sacrificed their victories, they did not dare to say that victory was guaranteed in the end, at least the tasks of their own troops could still be completed.
Under such tactics, the grenade explosion of the Volunteers did not cause much casualties, and these recruits did not have much experience in shooting moving targets, and the muzzle of the gun always moved quickly left and right in the firing position to find the target, often not hitting the enemy but causing interference to the shooting of their comrades.
"Baga, idiot! Don't chase the cavalry with your muzzle, you can't catch up with your broken marksmanship! Hit your nearest target with a good bullet, and let the soldiers behind you ......deal with the enemy who has already rushed over."
"Our firing position stretches for four kilometers, and the final grinding can grind them all to death...... Don't mess around! Calm down!
Everywhere the officers shouted and cursed, and gradually the soldiers finally found a sense of dealing with the cavalry, and the Cossack casualties began to increase.
The dense firing positions on the battlefield formed a four-kilometer blocking belt, and the cavalry would be shot at by the volunteers after passing through a firing position, although the accuracy was not high, but it could not stand the large number of people, and this time there was only one battalion of troops rushing into the formation, and the strength was still too weak compared with the 3,000 volunteers who blocked the attack.
"Ignore the casualties! Keep rushing through...... Our mission is to send a message to the fleet! Nothing else......"
The loyal and brave Cossacks resolutely completed the task assigned by the battalion commander, they lowered their bodies and lay on the back of their horses, and did not fight back at all, but kept using their horses to stimulate the potential of the war horses and make them faster.
At this time, the target of the volunteers' shooting began to shift to the war horses, shooting people first, and the horses were shot first, and the expensive Donhippo fell to the ground, and the rolling soldiers did not drag mud and water from the ground and rushed to the nearest firing position with their knives.
This is a completely suicidal attack, each circular firing position is garrisoned by a squad of troops, and even if it is a tired and tired soldier, even if it is a large number of reserves, not one or two Cossacks can break through with sabers.
But in order to create victory for the large army, these subtle individuals do not care about their own life and death.
The army is a machine, and every soldier is a screw in it, and no screw cannot be sacrificed for the sake of the entire war machine to the final victory.
What is the quality of the elite legion, that is, every soldier has long had the consciousness of sacrifice and will not hesitate at that time, for the sake of the collective, they can die without thinking about it without comparison.
If at that moment they are a little greedy for life and afraid of death, if they have a little comparison in their hearts, for example, why don't you sacrifice why me, and so on...... As long as there was a trace of hesitation in his heart, he would not want to rush through the rain of bullets of the volunteers.
The Cossacks deserved to be the crown of the Tsarist war machine, and the huge eastern territory of Tsarist Russia was able to fight all the way to the Pacific because of this group of powerful troops.
The Fuso warriors and the remnants of the Far East were stunned, they had always thought that the rakshasa guarding Vladivostok was already a rare and powerful army in the world, but today it was not a heavyweight compared to these Cossacks.
This is the real war bear, I saw them pounce like a gust of wind, only one big jump, and the whole person crashed in like a bear.
"For the Tsar...... Kill!" The sharp saber rounded out a rain of blood, and the opposite bayonet hit him in the chest, and he didn't seem to know the pain, and he had to kill two pads before he died.
As long as a firing position is broken through a Cossack, he will not want to fight, and the Cossack in a narrow space is a beast, and the shots are all the same way of fighting, and the power is extremely great.
"Don't fight him with bayonets...... Bullet......s don't work! "The sapper shovel is really useful when it is rounded, and the spade is cut on the opponent's temple, and half of the eyeball is cut off."
The bullet is not good, and if you hit the chest, you can still chop your head with a cossack.
The bayonet is also not easy to use, and after piercing the ribs, the opponent can actually use his hand to bend the blade without feeling the slightest pain.
These terrifying beasts came to their deaths, and their purpose was to delay time with their lives and cover their comrades to rush over.
The Cossacks, stabbed twice in the ribs, let out a wolf-like roar, and the blood from the wound kept spurting out, and they raised their heads and howled in cheers for their living comrades.
The desperate roar of the "Cossack ......" was answered en masse by all the living soldiers"...... Charge ......"
"Ulla...... Ulla...... Ulla...... Victory...... Victory...... Victory ......"
Of the four kilometers of blocking formation, 500 Cossacks were killed and 300 were killed, but in the end, 200 managed to break through and enter the empty area of the battlefield of the volunteers.
"Raise the double-headed eagle flag! Blow our trumpet! Tell the land...... The Cossacks are coming! We are coming!" the Cossack battalion commander, whose chest was bleeding, roared wildly with the last of his strength, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out, turning into a blood mist in the sky.
The terrifying Cossack cavalry, with their perverted combat effectiveness, shook everyone at once!
