Although the Bujin army was on the defensive, after the Ira coalition began to advance, the Bujin army also began to advance. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info crossbowmen always kept a distance of about 50 meters from the musket troops, and the infantry in the rear and the cavalry deployed on the flanks also marched at a constant speed. The Bujin men went forward about 100 meters before stopping.

The right flank of the Ira's coalition was dominated by cavalry, but Lansen was in no hurry to charge. Because she felt that there were too many cavalry, and if she launched a charge at the same time, the hit rate of the enemy's long-range weapons would be greatly increased, increasing the losses of the cavalry. Therefore, Lan Xian prepared to use a "wave charge", and she divided the cavalry of Shangjin County into several teams and walked at the forefront of the troops. When the first cavalry was about 500 meters away from the musketeers of the Bujin army, she gave the order to the second cavalry to attack.

The long witches wanted the troops of Kamijin County to be cannon fodder, so this time they obeyed Lan Xian's orders and did not attack.

The average reload speed of the Ilibi musketeers was more than 25 seconds, which is a maximum of two salvos in a minute. It took less than 8 seconds for the Ira's light cavalry to charge 100 meters, and even if they started firing from 200 meters away, the Ira light cavalry could rush in front of them in 24 seconds. So the musketeers did not rush to the first round of fire, as they did against the infantry, but put the enemy cavalry within 100 meters and fired a salvo at the enemy.

When the first wave of cavalry was attacked by the muskets of the Bukin, Lan Xian let the third cavalry attack. The muskets of the Bukins inflicted great casualties on the cavalry units and greatly weakened the morale of the enemy troops. Fortunately, the number of cavalry in a group was not large, and it was arranged in a loose multi-line formation, so almost no cavalry who fell off their horses were trampled by the hooves of friendly horses.

After firing a volley, the musketeers quickly retreated some distance, reloaded their ammunition in a safe position, and let the crossbowmen deliver a second round of fire on the enemy cavalry, killing and wounding nearly 100 more cavalrymen. The Bukin's infantry also moved forward quickly in loose formation, but the cavalry remained in place, making no move.

Just when the Ira light cavalry thought they could wolf into the flock and slaughter the Bukin's ranged troops, the light cavalry were hit again by a rain of arrows about 100 meters from the Bujin musketeers. The longbowmen reload much faster than the musketeers and crossbowmen, and this rain of arrows was sent by the longbowmen deployed on the left flank of the Bujin army.

The Ira's light cavalry charged forward another 50 meters, coming under a combined fire of thousands of bows and crossbows. Since they had already been included in the excellent range of the crossbow, this round of fire took a heavy toll on them. The first cavalry had about 1,500 horsemen before the charge, and after this round of arrows, they had less than 200 left.

These 200 horsemen were scattered on a front nearly half a kilometer wide, looking sparse and deterrent. At this moment, the musketeers of the Boujin suddenly turned and retreated, and ran behind the crossbowmen as fast as they could. The infantry of the Bujin had already followed, and their spears, throwing spears, and broad shields made the light cavalry feel cold, and they no longer had the will to fight.

Anyway, there are several teams of people behind, so let them do the things that break through the defense line!

The light cavalry, whose morale had plummeted, gave up the charge, turned their horses, and galloped to the sides. The rout of the first cavalry was completely expected by Lan Xian, and after about a few breaths, the second cavalry also came into range of the crossbowmen. Like the first cavalry, they were hit by a dense rain of arrows. By the time they rushed in front of the Bujin, the Bujin's infantry had already formed up for the charge.

The losses of the second cavalry were somewhat less than those of the first, and the survivors were about 500 people. At this time, the musketeers found a place on higher ground and fired a round of fire on the cavalry. This round of fire strikes not only killed and wounded nearly 100 cavalrymen, but also completely broke the morale of the second cavalry, which began to collapse on both sides.

When the third group of cavalry came into range of the crossbowmen, the cavalry of the Bukins moved. The longbowmen and crossbowmen were already a little tired after several rounds of continuous shooting, and they had to rest.

Most of the cavalry in Kamijin County had not received serious training, so that the follow-up troops were reluctant to charge the Bujin when they saw the heavy losses of the first group. Therefore, after the third group of cavalry, there was no cavalry on the right flank of the Iraa coalition army. This was a great surprise to the officers of the Bujin people, who did not know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Ira, so they could only send cavalry according to the predetermined plan to hedge against the Ira's light cavalry.

I didn't want the morale of the third cavalry to be low, and the cavalry of the Bujin people scattered the enemy with just a charge, giving the officers the illusion of punching the cotton.

As the cavalry of Kamijin Prefecture refused to continue the charge, the crossbowmen of the Bujin people had time to rest, and the officers began to reorganize their formation, waiting for the next round of attacks by the Ira. In this round of fighting, the Bujin people suffered only a few dozen casualties, but inflicted two or three thousand casualties on the Ira.

In this way, the right flank of the Iraa coalition became very passive. But this was not Lan Xian's fault, because she didn't know that more than half of the nearly 8,000 cavalry in Shangjin County was mixed with water. If these cavalry were fully trained, the third cavalry would put a lot of pressure on the Bukin, the fourth would definitely tear apart the Bukin's line, and the last cavalry would force the Bujin to play their cards, and then the Sarumi Shrine's troops would have to charge and the Bukin's left flank would have been crushed - of course, on the premise that General North did not support the left flank.

Unfortunately, most of these cavalrymen were new recruits on horseback, and their discipline and morale were poor. The excessively high losses, coupled with the fact that the troops of the Rimi Shrine have not participated in the attack, it is easy for the people of Kamijin Prefecture to understand that the people of the Rimi Shrine are using themselves as cannon fodder, so that even the veterans have no will to fight.

Lan Xian gathered up the remnants of the army and sent an envoy to negotiate with the Bujin army, hoping that the Bujin would allow the coalition forces to recover the wounded and remains. Lan Xian didn't expect to get back the horses and equipment, because according to the rules of the battlefield, these things were already the trophies of the Bujin people. Lan Xian's actions boosted the morale of the soldiers in Shangjin County a little, but they still refused to take the lead.

In order to rest for a while, the left flank of the Bujin Army agreed to Lan Xian's request to recover the wounded and the remains. In this way, there was a temporary ceasefire on the right flank of the coalition forces and the left flank of the Bujin army.

Before Lan Xian ordered the first cavalry to charge, the troops of the 29th Village had already engaged the right flank of the Bujin army. The troops in the 29th village were mainly infantry, and they would suffer greatly when facing the musketeers.

In order to reduce his own casualties, Yanhe consumed the enemy's ammunition and physical strength, and asked the soldiers at the forefront to line up in a loose formation to attack the enemy. As a result, the Bujin were not fooled at all, and their musketeers and crossbowmen fired only one round each, and then they sent out shock cavalry and plundering cavalry, and scattered the vanguard of the twenty-nine villages.

The Bujin cavalry did not fight, but simply dispersed the vanguard of the twenty-nine villages and withdrew. Seeing that hundreds of people had been killed and injured on his side, Nami was very distressed, and wanted to directly use witchcraft to deal with the Bujin people, but was stopped by Yan He in time. Yan He and Nanyi Jushi's hexology was the trump card in Twenty-Nine Village, but this trump card was not enough to defeat the thousands of troops on the opposite side, and using it so early would only make them more passive.

Yan He bit his nails unwillingly, and could only let the troops attack according to the predetermined plan. In the treatment of the Ira, Yanhe is fundamentally different from the Nami monks. Nami would have spared the lives of the Ira, but Yanhe had never had such thoughts. For her, there is no difference between using pawns and playing chess, it is just a matter of replacing the chess pieces with living people. She doesn't care about the life or death of the soldiers, only the results.

The reason why she felt unwilling was simply because the situation was a little passive. Yan He didn't like to fight this kind of battle that was bound to lose, but for the sake of the covenant between Twenty-Nine Village and Rimi Shrine, she had to finish this battle.

In fact, Yan He didn't know that the 8,000 cavalry in Shangjin County was mixed with more than half of the water, just like she had speculated before the war, the Ira coalition army was at a disadvantage in all aspects except for the large number of cavalry. The long-range firepower of the Ira was a nightmare for the Ira light infantry, and the Ira crossbowmen were also suppressed by the Bunkin's musketeers at maximum range, and they were also outnumbered.

Now the Bujin people have set up their positions on high slopes, not only increasing their long-range strike range, but also increasing the shooting range of shooters, which can allow long-range troops to stand in a relatively dense formation to fire at their own side, greatly improving the hit rate.

The coalition forces, which have lost their terrain advantage, still want to be the attacker, which is purely killing in Yan He's opinion. The cavalry of Kamijin County may have broken the left flank of the Bukin, but what about after that? The Bujin can shrink their line and continue to fight the coalition forces, and the coalition cavalry is too tired to continue fighting after breaking the left flank of the Bukins, so what will the coalition use to attack the Bukin's main position?

Yan He had dealt with Man Yun, and she had already guessed Man Yun's plan, but she didn't think Man Yun's plan would succeed. If the attacking Chinese army was replaced by her and Nanyi Jushi, and then led a full number of war witch cavalry, Yan He would be 100% sure of breaking through the enemy's main formation.

But what about after that?

Based on Yanhe's understanding of the Ilibi people, after the Great Reform, the military system of the Ilibi countries has undergone tremendous changes. They divided the officers into two ranks, the colonel and the lieutenant, and held the military authority at the battalion level (i.e., brigade level) and the company level (i.e., squadron level) respectively. In wartime, the colonels and lieutenants can make their own decisions according to the battlefield situation, even if they disobey the general's orders, as long as they win the battle, it is not considered disobedience.

This made the armies of the Eribi nations extremely survivable, and even if the main camp was destroyed, the battalions and companies would not be scattered, and they could continue to fight the enemy until they were all defeated. The main formation of the Bujin army is nothing more than the loss of unified command of the battalions and companies, but this will increase some losses to the Bujin people at most, and may not be able to turn the tide of the battle.

In fact, Yan He had long wanted Nami to carry out such a reform in the Twenty-Nine Villages, but the situation in the Twenty-Nine Villages was too complicated, and it affected the whole body. Unless Nami also carried out a "great revolution" in the 29th Village, and wiped out all the major families and gentry in the 29th Village, the reform could not begin at all.

The combat effectiveness of the troops in the 29th village is weak, on the one hand, because of poor training and equipment, and on the other hand, because the army contains too many interest groups. The Iraa coalition army in Shangjin Prefecture is composed of three forces, and the internal situation is already very complicated, and there are dozens of small groups in the army of the 29 villages, so the situation will be even more complicated.

The vanguard sent out by Yan He before was composed of people selected by lottery from each team. Everyone knew that this was a death squad, so no squad was willing to take the initiative to take on this task.

It is a very time-consuming task to know that before Lan Xian launches an attack, he has to divide thousands of cavalry into several teams and have them stand by in front of the formation according to their own formation. The death squads selected in the 29th Village were only a few hundred people, but the time spent was not much less than that of the "wave charge" organized by Lan Xian, which shows how poor the combat efficiency of the army in the 29th Village was.

In order to make his soldiers obedient, Yanhe had to threaten them with force so that the squads would act according to the captain's instructions.

The first wave of the official assault in the Twenty-Nine villages threw in about two thousand men. They suffered their first fire at a distance of about 200 metres from the musket unit, but due to the small size of the infantry and the low accuracy of the muskets at this distance, they suffered only a dozen casualties.

Infantry at a distance of 50 meters from the enemy could only march on a slow pace. If they were allowed to charge from 200 meters away like cavalry, they would be exhausted and lying down when they ran in front of the enemy line. When the infantry charges in front of the enemy, they also have to fight the enemy hand-to-hand, and must maintain sufficient physical strength, so the actual distance of the infantry will not exceed 50 meters.

The march was a slow run, taking about half a minute for every 50 meters, just enough for the musketeers to shoot a round. When the Ira's light infantry was about 150 meters away from the enemy line, they came under a second round of fire, this time with nearly 200 soldiers hit.

After another 50 meters, the Ira came under a third round of fire, this time with a larger number of soldiers hit, and by this time the crossbowmen in the rear were already in position and began to fire on the enemy infantry. Under the double pressure of muskets and crossbows, the morale of the attacking troops was seriously shaken.

When they were 50 meters away from the enemy line, the musketeers fired a fourth salvo, inflicting hundreds more casualties on the enemy. At this time, if they continue to attack, they will definitely suffer more accurate firepower; If they retreat, they will be shot indiscriminately by the enemy before they can escape from the enemy's range. Just when everyone didn't know whether to advance or retreat, a captain took the opportunity to shout: "It's all death!" It's better to fight with them! ”

The crowd was stirred up by the captain's words, and immediately launched a charge against the Bujin. When the musketeers saw the enemy charge, they stopped reloading and began to retreat quickly, the infantry in the rear began to advance, and the cavalry was ready to attack.
