Chapter 315: Annoying Captain Teemo
At the beginning of the war, of course, the first to fire would be artillery, more than 80 Austrian artillerymen, plus more than 200 Chinese artillery apprentices, entered the fastest state of reloading, and more than 40 rifled guns were very good fire support even in Europe.
The Xishan army screamed again and again, one banner after another fell, and countless infantry screamed and rolled all over the ground.
Ruan Hui's face was blue, and he looked back, his artillery was still not assembled, and even if it was assembled, it was not as mobile and accurate as the Tang Kou artillery on the other side.
In fact, in ordinary battles, artillery is not easy to inflict too much damage on the infantry, because the infantry in formation is very mobile, and they are not wooden stakes standing under shelling.
The more elite the soldiers, the stronger the mobility of the formation, and the Xishan Army, which is on the rise, is undoubtedly such an elite.
But they were now in great trouble, that is, the more than five hundred Tang Kou White Ghost Cavalry trailing behind them.
These cavalrymen are equipped with a kind of firecrackers with a very long range, and if you don't care about him, they will dismount and shoot at the Xishan army in formation, and hundreds of firearms continue to sneak attack, causing no small casualties.
If you divide the team to take care of it, you can't beat it if there are fewer people, and when there are more people, they will run away, and as soon as you retreat, they will chase after you.
It would not have been possible to simply send a special group of men and horses to deal with them, but they were on horseback, and seeing that they could not take advantage of this side, they would spare the other side and attack the other infantry.
This disgusted Ruan Hui, and for the first time he found out that cavalry could still be used like this!
Anyone who has ever masturbated knows how disgusting a swift scout is, and many people want to vomit when they see him, not to mention running fast, and coming to hide.
No matter what, it's still quite painful to fight, it's likely that you can't fight if there are fewer people, what if you go to a team battle with more people?
In the same way, those who play Heroes of the Storm and Overwatch must also hate the role of Sky Hunting, biubiubiu's flashing everywhere, specifically looking for your weak links to fight.
And now, Valentin's Cossacks and Simon. Kosciuszko's hussars played this role.
They are like two hyenas, drooling around the big bison of the Xishan Army, although the horns and hooves of the cow are very powerful, and they may be killed if they are hit, but the bison cannot have horns and hooves all over their bodies, there will always be places that cannot be taken care of.
Under their threat, the ability to move the infantry of the rear army of the Tay Son Army was greatly limited, and the artillery commanded by Conrad was of course also a veteran, and they specialized in bombarding the infantry of the rear army of the Hi Son Army that was difficult to move, and the fight made Nguyen Hue extremely anxious.
At the same time, the young guards of the Fuxing Company wearing boat-shaped hats, and the light infantry led by Ye Zhenwu had already moved to a position one hundred and seventy or eighty meters away from the infantry of the Xishan Army.
The powerful, long-range and accurate Baker rifled gun suddenly knocked over a large part of the Xishan Army, which was also slowly approaching.
Ruan Hui said a few words loudly, and one of the heralds beside him ran to the front like a gust of wind, and after a while, the gate board wrapped in wet rice stalks and wet quilts was pushed out on a kind of wheelbarrow, and the damage of the light infantry was much less.
At this time, the artillery of the Xishan Army was finally assembled, although they were all old-fashioned ignition smoothbore guns, but after all, they were cannons, and when the solid bullets in one or two catties were whizzing over, the Revival Army also began to have casualties.
Chen Wenqi's third battalion was hit by shells continuously, and a phalanx of 400 people suffered the most, and at least 30 or so were lost.
Ye Zhenwu blew the copper whistle in his mouth, the light infantry began to retreat slowly, there was also a drum in the Xishan army, and a team of archers rare among the Annan people appeared behind the door panel, they used the Kaiyuan bow of the Ming Dynasty, mounted heavy arrows and began to shoot.
Not far from the light infantry, the cat-waisted grenadiers were better, they were all wearing chain mail, and the losses of the light infantry without any armor were a bit large, and the more than a hundred light infantry on the front lost at least a dozen.
Nguyen Hue was also a natural commander, and he even came up with a way to use door panels with archers to deal with the harassment of light infantry.
Louis Gaston, who stood on the mountain and saw it clearly, waved the order flag in his hand, and the light infantry retreated a little again. More than a dozen mortars were pushed to the front.
"Boom! Rumble! "The door panel can block the fire of light infantry, and it can also block the solid bullets that bounce over the small caliber, but it can't prevent the mortar that does not play with solid bullets.
Immediately, the bombed people turned over on their backs, and a mortar accurately hit a wheelbarrow, and the door panel on the cart was immediately torn apart, and several Xishan soldiers rolled around on the ground screaming.
Since the range of the mortar cannon at this time was not far, there was a roar in the Xishan army, and two or three hundred soldiers of the Xishan army with flintlock pistols poured out, about to shoot the artillery operating the mortar artillery.
But they forgot that there was light infantry on Ye Kai's side, and without the cover of the door panel, the light infantry that had not completely retreated to the back opened fire again, and before the two or three hundred soldiers of the Xishan Army could run to the firing position, they fell almost halfway.
Nguyen Hue's cheeks, which could be seen clearly by the elephant in the distance, couldn't help but twitch, he had seen an army with a lot of artillery, and there were a lot of artillery pieces of the Siamese army in the battle of Lishuo Boasting back then.
But he had never seen anything that could hit the cannon so accurately and exert the power of the cannon to such an extreme.
This kind of battle is also being staged in other phalanxes, but the revival army on the left and right sides does not have so many mortars, and the Xishan army in other phalanxes does not suffer as much damage as the main force on the front.
There was a rapid drum beat in the Xishan army, and before the two sides could get close, the Xishan army fell more than 500 people, and Ye Kai's revival army was less than 70 people.
So Ruan Hui couldn't bear it anymore, and in the rapid sound of drums, thousands of hand-to-hand fighters who were originally preparing for hand-to-hand combat rushed out of the phalanx.
Such a direct assault on the phalanx of the line infantry by hand-to-hand combat soldiers was simply here to send them to death, but this is what Nguyen Hue wanted.
Because he knew that these hand-to-hand soldiers would definitely not be able to do much damage to the light infantry and line infantry of the revival army, but they could force the light infantry and mortar artillery back, and the musketeers of the Xishan Army could take the opportunity to approach quickly.
As long as there is no harassment from light infantry and mortars, the Xishan Army still has a certain advantage, after all, they have a lot of people and have enough flintlock guns.
Ye Kai, Huang Zhongtong and Liang Wenying and others followed closely behind the line infantry, since Ye Kai occupied the four prefectures of Bei, Lan, Peng, and Jia in Nanyang and Binh Thuan Fu in South Vietnam, He Xiwen deliberately did not care about military affairs.
He is actually Ye Kai's Pingshun Mansion guard now, and Xiao Tuanzi, who has just obtained the title of Duke of Pingshun County, has just started to go to school, so it is naturally impossible to go to Pingshun Mansion to sit in town.
Ruan's Yuwan, who did not give birth to a son and did not get to Binh Thuan Mansion, is also lacking in interest, and she is now staying in Beifu to help Ye Kai govern the four states of Nanyang.
Therefore, only He Xiwen is the only one who sits in Pingshun Mansion, and he is the only one who is the most suitable.
And now the force of He Xi Culture Mountain Hall has basically been split, with a few lucky ships, and Zhou Yuanquan, who has thousands of pirates, has joined the Navy of the Fuxing Company and served as the fourth chief.
The remaining Huang Zhongtong and his brother-in-law Liang Wenying, who are good at foot combat, have basically become Ye Kai's subordinates.
Liang Wenying, who was dissatisfied with Ye Kai before, has already become Ye Kai's fan brother, and Huang Zhongtong even served as Ye Kai's personal bodyguard.
Ye Kai also decided that after this war, Huang Zhongtong and Liang Wenying would be included in the system of Fuxing Company.
