Chapter 390: Guo Jin VS Gongsun Zhan (II)
A large shield was carried in front of Guo Jinjun's formation, and the battle line set up by Guo Jin was not very long, only two hundred meters, and the trenches in other places were not kindly built with wooden bridges.
The cavalry on Gongsun Zhan's side was also mobilized and began to prepare for the charge.
Gongsun Zhan's tactic is very simple, that is, to ride and shoot the enemy.
Gongsun Zhan divided the cavalry into four teams, he and Gongsun Xu respectively led a thousand white horses and righteous followers in the back, and Yan Gang and Shan Jing led 3,000 cavalry in the front, forming a goose-shaped formation with two in the front and two in the back, wide in front and narrow in the back.
Then, with the sound of the trumpet, the cavalry began to move.
I saw two teams of cavalry, rushing towards Guo Jin's army from the left and right, everyone drew arrows and built bows, ready to shoot left to the right and right to shoot left, so that the arrows flew in the air, forming a beautiful arrow net.
The so-called left shot right, right shot left, that is, the cavalry on the left shot to the right, and the cavalry on the right shot to the left, because the general defense tends to be frontal, so that the arrows that fall obliquely are more likely to kill and injure the enemy.
Guo Jin was on the high slope, calmly watching the cavalry charge, and muttered, "Don't worry... There is no hurry..."
He only had one chance, because there were no cavalry, and once Gongsun Chan didn't fight a positional battle with him, he would be at a complete disadvantage.
Two hundred steps... One hundred and fifty steps.. One hundred steps...
The cavalry who rushed to the front began to shoot arrows, only to see that these cavalrymen were holding their horses between their legs, their bows and arrows were raised, and they put them down suddenly, regardless of whether they shot or not, they directly controlled the horses to turn and run backwards.
From Guo Jin's line of sight, it seemed as if there were two evil dragons constantly spitting dragon breath at his military array.
The rain of arrows fell, and the beeps and bells rang incessantly, which was the sound of arrows hitting the shield wall and the armor soldiers behind the shield wall.
From Gongsun Zhan's line of sight, he could only see that the shield wall was full of arrows, but he couldn't see the situation behind the shield wall.
If he could see it, he would be surprised to find that behind the shield wall, there were three troops of troops that he had never seen before.
These soldiers were dressed in two layers of armor, wore heavy helmets, and held neither spears nor crossbows, but muskets that should not have been seen in this era.
Because of the two layers of armor, and the fact that the cavalry's bows were inferiorly inferior to the infantry's crossbows, most of the musketeers did not do any damage, but the ground was piled up with more and more arrows that bounced off.
"It's now!" Guo Jin saw Yan Gang and Shan Jing, who were hiding in the army, rushed to the front of the military formation, and immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Open the hole!" Shoot!! ”
The drums of the Red Star Battalion suddenly changed, and the musketeers who heard the signal suddenly stepped forward and pulled away the Karakuri on the shield wall, and round holes slightly smaller than their faces suddenly appeared on the shield wall, and then, one after another, muskets stretched out.
Zhou Zhan, the commander of the musket front, took a deep breath, and then blew the copper whistle hanging on his chest, "Beep!" Beep!! ”
"Smack!!
A neat gunshot rang out, and Shan Jing, who rushed to the front and was bending his bow to shoot an arrow, only felt as if his body had been hit by something, and then he didn't know anything.
"Beep! Beep!! ”
"Smack!!
"Beep! Beep!! ”
"Smack!!
Three teams of musketeers, taking turns to shoot, this first round was the fastest because everyone was well prepared, and it took less than ten seconds to finish, but these ten seconds were simply ten hellish seconds for the charging Anton army. Ninety-four Good Book Network
Every time a shot was fired, dozens of horsemen who rushed to the front were killed, and the cavalry behind rushed forward and were killed again, as if they were sending them to death.
The death of the commander Shan Jing caused the cavalry on the right to stop immediately, and Yan Gang on the left, although he was not killed, was also frightened by this momentum.
If he was facing an arrow, Yan Gang guaranteed that he would not frown, but there was a sound on the other side, a puff of white smoke, and then hundreds of cavalry on his side were killed on the ground.
Could it be that the legend that Ma Qiang will be immortal is true?
Is this an immortal law?
Even if people are afraid, there are military law and officers, and they can barely maintain it, but the war horse can't stand it.
Horses are very sensitive animals, although these horses have undergone strict training, not afraid of knives and guns, not afraid of gongs and drums, but for the gunshots such a loud noise that has never been heard is still very afraid, see every sound after their compatriots will die, is a horse can not stand it.
Once the horse is frightened, it is no different from going crazy, and it will not stop you if you don't run until it is exhausted, and at this time, the cavalry of the Anton Army is facing the situation that the horse under its crotch becomes a madman.
Gongsun Zhan saw that the war horses that were running around because they were frightened had turned their original cavalry formation into a plate of scattered sand, and they were all about to go crazy, and shouted loudly, "Calm down!" Sedation!! He also asked the sergeant to wave the flag and blow the horn, hoping to regroup the army.
But where would Guo Jin on the high slope give him such an opportunity, he immediately shouted, "Keep shooting!" Keep shooting!! ”
"Beep! Beep!! ”
"Smack!!
"Beep! Beep!! ”
"Smack!!
The beeping of the brass whistle and the sound of muskets rang out again, this time, the frequency dropped significantly, but it was enough, seeing that the terrible sound was not over, some of the war horses that had not gone crazy because of the appeasement of their masters were also crazy.
Looking down from the high slopes, the cavalry team was like a fried oil pot, in a mess.
"Down the shield wall! Sortie!! ”
Guo Jin felt that the time had come, waved his hand and shouted, the drum beat changed again, the shield wall fell, and thousands of Red Star Battalion sergeants poured out from both sides of the musketeers, killing Gongsun Zhan's cavalry.
Gongsun Zhan looked at the Red Star Battalion army that rushed up, and when he saw that he was holding more rope spears, he trembled with anger, this is to see that he has been taken prisoner.
But looking at the cavalry on his side, which was already completely uncontrollable, he could only lament and shout, "Withdraw the army!" Withdrawal!! ”
"Beep! Beep!! ”
"Smack!!" The sound of the platoon gun still sounded unhurriedly behind Gongsun Zhan.
Listening to the platoon of guns behind him, Gongsun Chan gritted his teeth and scolded, "Witchcraft! It's witchcraft! Ma Qiang must have taken refuge in the Yellow Turban Thief, otherwise where would he have learned such weird witchcraft! ”
Guan Jing, who was pressing the formation behind, saw that countless cavalry couldn't control their horses running towards him at all, and hurriedly shouted, "It's not good!" Our army is defeated, quickly line up to respond! ”
Before Tian Kai, who commanded the infantry, could speak, he saw dozens of cavalry crashing into a few infantry, and then leaving in the dust.
Yes, now it's the horse commanding the man, not the man commanding the horse, don't think about the formation, otherwise be ready to meet the charge of ten thousand horsemen.
20,000 infantry turned around and ran, if you don't run, you can't do it, being killed or captured by the enemy is a trivial matter, what kind of thing do you say is being killed by your own cavalry.
