Eighty paces away, both sides opened fire almost simultaneously!

If possible, he was willing to put the enemy close to fight, and he could endure not firing a shot, and wait until the enemy was close to thirty meters before he came ruthlessly.

Line up to shoot, the closer the better!

One salvo of 30 meters is likely to be better than two or three salvos when the opponent rushes from far to near.

But against the cavalry...... Seniority An does not dare to take risks, in case people do not fight with you in close combat, but only cavalry raids, Fang Guang has been beaten and has no way to fight back, and the army's morale will collapse.

Smoothbore guns VS bows and arrows, which is better?

This time the answer is even!

The Indians were attacked by veterans, and even on galloping horses, their bows and arrows were able to hit the ranks of Indian soldiers.

Let the Indian soldiers fall!

Their attack speed reaches 5 arrows per minute, while the Indians fire up to 3 shots per minute, and the unit's DPS output is more bows than smoothbore guns.

The continuous fire of the smoothbore guns was still very fierce, and the two rows of soldiers crouched in one row, one row stood, and fired at the same time, and then they stepped back and replaced the other two rows of soldiers to come forward and fire again.

And the smoothbore gun uses lead bullets, that is, dummy bullets!

When that thing hits the human body, it will roll over, forming a cavity, and the lethality is terrible enough, plus lead poisoning and infection, the harm is not small, and the power is needless to say!

However, not many cavalry died, and all that fell were horses, and it was inevitable that people would shoot horses first.

Even the horses couldn't stand the lead bullets, some of the horses fell down, the sand splashed, and some actually landed in front of the Indian soldiers, which shows how big the impact of the horses is!

"Ahh An Indian soldier was shot with an arrow in the chest and fell to the ground.

Immediately, a paramedic dragged him out of the queue for first aid.

Another Indian soldier was shot in the shoulder, but instead of dealing with it, he gritted his teeth and changed the ammunition, but fortunately a medic bandaged him in time.

To tell the truth, if you don't be hit by the vital point, it's better to be hit by an arrow than to be hit by a dummy bullet, of course, the bow and arrow are also not small, a swarm of bee arrows fly, the arrow is sharp and heavy, the Indian soldiers are either killed or injured by the arrow, they are not wearing armor, the arrow must bleed, the Egyptians use a three-edged arrow!

The bleeding did not stop, so the officer ordered that the person who was hit by the arrow should be bandaged immediately!

That is to say, but there are still soldiers who are slightly injured and do not get out of the line of fire.

The armored officer was relatively safe, and the tough armor was able to resist the attack of the bow and arrow, protecting the human body.

Even if shot through, it is often difficult to be fatal.

The R&D strength of the military industry in the southeast is strong, and the armor developed has gone through several generations, using alloy steel materials, which are tough and effective.

Its R&D and production are highly valued by the upper echelons, and no department dares to take it lightly, has money, respects craftsmen and technicians, and has achieved fruitful results.

The quality of the armor supplied to the army was put to the test, and the rate of casualties among officers was not high.

There were also Sikh battalions in the front, panzergrenadiers, each with an armor hand, which served as a meat shield for the soldiers behind.

However, there are always people who are unlucky, seniority sits on a tall horse, and the clothes are not the same as ordinary soldiers, and the goal is obvious, and the Egyptian cavalry has sharpshooters, and they aim at seniority!

With a "whoosh", an arrow came from afar.

There was a lot of gunfire around, and he didn't notice that an arrow from the oblique stab hit him in the left rib, and with a bang, his body was crooked, and he fell backwards.

Fortunately, there was a horse in the back to hold him up, and there was no upside-down onion to the ground, they held him, put down the ground, and looked at it, the armor had been shot through, and the arrow was nailed to the body, very long, thick and heavy, obviously the master did it.

The blood flowed out suddenly, and the military doctor was urgently summoned, and after the arrow was broken, he took out the arrow, and then cleaned the wound with salt water, that is, applied the golden medicine, stopped the bleeding, and bandaged it.

The military doctor was very skillful, and after five minutes he had completed all the dispositions, and he asked someone to bring the horse over, and he got back on the horse.

The bandaged area quickly turned red, and blood flowed down.

Frightened, the horses tried to pull him off the horse, but Seniority was reluctant, he struggled and ordered the horses not to move!

"Idiot, if those Indian soldiers hadn't seen me for so long, they would have fled!" Seniority scolded, he knew too well the virtues of those Indian soldiers!

The Chinese officers in the military formation are the guarantee of the victory of the Indian soldiers, otherwise they will escape in minutes!

In desperation, he called two more horses over, and rode them up, covering him with armor on his left and right hands, while soldiers were also on his side, and the military doctor continued to treat him.

Hey, I have to admit that the shield is still necessary!

The effect was immediate, the Indian soldiers were originally a little weak, but when they saw the commander and heard the commander's loud shouting and scolding, they were very comfortable, and the floating military spirit quickly stabilized and steadily opened fire on the enemy.

When it comes to the Egyptian cavalry, they are also very fierce, they bow down, use the cover of the horse's body, drive the horses to rush, their horses are covered with leather armor in front of them, although the lead bullet can break the armor, but the power is weakened, the horses continue to charge after being shot, and the killing is close!

At this time, the two 6-pounder guns carried by the advance regiment with great difficulty were fired, and the artillery commander brandished his saber and shouted: "Fire!" ”

There was a second boom, and suddenly a blazing tongue of fire erupted from the muzzle fan, and hundreds of bullets shot wildly, and immediately the opposite side was filled with the sound of wailing horses and neighing.

2 guns previously used solid shells, now they are shotguns!

There are dozens or hundreds of bullets in a shell, and when you hit it, it is a large piece, which is more powerful than a musket, and it is powerful at close range!

The Egyptian cavalry was very brave, and even when they were beaten on their backs, they continued to charge without hesitation, and they rode their horses like acrobatic skats over the men and horses that stood in their way.

A stone's throw away!

You can see the fierce and excited faces of the cavalrymen, they are swords in hand, ready to kill the Indians!

At the orders of the officers, the soldiers of the Sikh battalion, armed with bombs in their hands, ignited the fuse into the lit brazier and threw it at the rushing cavalry.

Speaking of the tenacity of the Sikhs, at this time the bows and arrows of the Egyptian cavalry were still firing non-stop, arrows flying wildly, and some bombardiers were holding bombs, and when they were hit by arrows, they still insisted on not letting go until the bombs were dropped.

One by one, the ignited bombs fell among the cavalry and exploded, boom, boom, boom, the explosion sounded, shrapnel flew everywhere, the horses were shot everywhere, and they were frightened by the sound, so that the cavalry was in chaos!

There were still those who were so brave that their horses came in a hurry, and their muskets at close range knocked their horses high, bouncing wildly, and then falling to the ground with a heavy load!

Several horses rushed into the ranks of the Indians, and the Sikhs in front of them met the galloping horses with their spears wide with angry eyes!

Pierced into the belly of the horse, the horse crashed into the crowd, the man fell upside down, bleeding profusely, and the air filled the air with a choking smell of blood!

The Indian soldiers withstood the enemy's attack!
