0837 Ambush appears

This situation makes Liu Pei very vigilant! Liu Pei felt that it was okay, and he must have arranged other means of attack. Thinking of this, Liu Pei immediately said: "Draw back the five artillery pieces and set them up in front of the main formation, and pay attention to the ambush soldiers on the left and right flanks!" ”

After speaking, Liu Pei picked up the telescope and glanced at the left and right sides to see if there were any other signs. The result really made Liu Pei find the problem!

Not long before the artillery was dragged to the formation, Liu Pei saw a team flash out from behind a small mound not far from Kong Youde's right flank, all of them were cavalry!

As soon as these cavalry appeared, they drew an arc and rushed towards Liu Pei's left flank! Liu Pei was relieved when he saw the ambush appear. Sure enough, Liu Pei guessed correctly! Kong Youde has another backhand!

It seems that he planned to use cavalry to attack Liu Pei's flank when the infantry attacked. Liu Pei didn't see many cavalry in ambush, only about 1,000 people. It seems that these cavalry are already all the cavalry of Kong Youde.

Liu Pei couldn't help but sigh that Kong Youde was really ruthless! can see that his night is not collected and killed, and the infantry is slaughtered, but he can't bear to use the cavalry. It wasn't until the infantry approached Liu Pei that the cavalry immediately attacked!

Liu Pei ordered: "This town moves to the left flank and is leveled with the phalanx on the left!" The artillery positions are placed between the two formations, and as soon as it is done, fire immediately! ”

Liu Pei gave an order, and the officers immediately conveyed the order loudly. The soldiers immediately turned to action. All of Liu Pei's soldiers are trained in queues, and it is extremely easy to convert!

As soon as the officers gave the order, all the soldiers in the phalanx turned to the left, and one phalanx moved quickly.

Liu Pei didn't know how much fright he caused Kong Youde by his actions! Kong Youde, who was sitting on horseback in this formation, saw Liu Pei change formation, and was so surprised that he almost stepped on the stirrup and stood up!

Because Liu Pei's speed of changing formations is too fast! Although on the surface it looks like just a phalanx of steering translation. But if there is no rigorous training in this kind of thing, most of the army will not be able to do it at all!

What's more, when the entire phalanx is moving, the formation of the hollow phalanx is completely maintained! At this point, Kong Youde knew that his subordinates would definitely not be able to do it!

The reason why Kong Youde ambushed the cavalry farther away was, on the one hand, that the surrounding terrain was indeed relatively flat, and there was not much terrain that could cover the cavalry team. On the other hand, he believes that Liu Pei's soldier's ability level is similar to that of his own soldiers, and it is impossible to complete the transformation of formation and defensive direction in a short time. His own cavalry had plenty of time to attack Liu Pei's flank.

But what I didn't expect was that in less than a minute, Liu Pei's team completed all the actions! How could this not make him shocked?

It's a pity that the phalanx in front blocked the movement of the five guns, and Kong Youde didn't see the speed at which the gunners were building gun emplacements. Otherwise, I'm afraid he will be even more surprised!

As soon as the gunners fixed the guns, they immediately adjusted the elevation angle and immediately began to shoot! The shells flew out far away and smashed into the cavalry group.1 Unfortunately, the solid shells did not cause much damage to the cavalry!

One reason is that the spacing between the cavalry is relatively large, and the ranks are sparse and not easy to hit. Another reason is that the shells fall to the ground, and it is difficult to hit the thin toilet.

But the gunners didn't care, they still shot hard. Because the artillerymen also know that no matter how small the loss is, the accumulation is a big loss! What's more, the cavalrymen were about to be hit by shells and fall to the ground, and it was definitely not one or two people who were affected, but a lot of cavalry behind.

Because heavy horse carcasses can become an obstacle for cavalry. Except for a few horsemen who were able to jump over their horses, the rest either took a detour or tripped and fell to the ground.

At this time, the infantry in front saw that the cavalry was assaulting, and their morale actually rose. The shelling they endured again rushed to the front. But this time Liu Pei was also ruthless! He ordered the artillery to be fired to the end before evacuating.

The five groups of gunners against the cavalry had fired six rounds of solid shells at the rebel cavalry, which were then quickly converted into shotguns. Shotguns are much sharper against cavalry than solid cannonballs!

The cavalry company has a much larger target than the average infantryman! For every shotgun fired, at least two or three cavalrymen and horses fell to the ground! The carcasses of centaurs were soon spread on the ground!

At the same time, the wounded horses shook off their backs and the cavalry neighed and jumped in place, which caused even more chaos! The cavalry and the cavalry collided together, and the horses neighed and shouted in a mess! As a result, the cavalry's speed had to be reduced in order to get around the chaos. But once the speed of the cavalry is reduced, they will be better targets for shotguns!

However, although the cavalry suffered heavy losses, they still rushed quickly to Liu Pei's left flank! As soon as they entered the firing distance of the musket, the two musketeers who were in full formation were in full formation and fired a salvo under the organization of the officer!

The sheer size of the cavalry was the best target. Rows and rows of buckshot raged in the cavalry group! Shoot the cavalry that rushed in front to the ground! And the lethality of shotguns fired at close range is even more powerful! As long as they are hit by a shotgun, both people and horses will immediately fall to the ground!

But the speed of the cavalry was fast after all, and they still approached the phalanx with a dense barrage of buckshot. When Liu Pei saw the cavalry approaching, he shouted: "The pikemen put up their guns!" Bayonets in the hands of the firecrackers! “

The pikemen on the periphery crouched down and drew their spears diagonally forward. The tail of the spear plunged into the ground and stepped on it with its foot. The musketeer immediately put the bayonet at his waist on the muzzle and firmly jammed it, and at the same time raised the bayonet diagonally forward! The gunners quickly dropped their guns and hid in the infantry phalanx.

The entire infantry phalanx turned into a jungle of steel in an instant! The shining bayonets and the blue military assembly were like a lake suddenly encountering a cold wind and forming a circle of hoarfrost on the edges, which was very eye-catching and beautiful!

The galloping rebel cavalry suddenly found that there was no whistling lead bullet around them, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed! One by one, they rushed over quickly! But just as they were about to charge into battle, they suddenly found that the phalanx on the opposite side suddenly turned into a steel jungle! They couldn't help but pull their horses back and bypass the sides.

During the Cold Weapons period, few of its cavalry rushed directly to the infantry phalanx. Because that's looking for death.

The cavalry charged the infantry phalanx, and with the help of the horse, the cavalry was likely to knock away one or two rows of people, or even three or four rows of people, but the people behind them would definitely not be able to knock out of the people on the lake! Then the cavalry would lose speed.
