Chapter 363: For His Majesty the King!
Liang Wengeng couldn't help wiping a cold sweat, he took 1,500 people from his headquarters and 2,000 people from Mo Guanfu to support the Quy Nhon Nguyen army besieged by the Fuxing Army, but he only walked halfway through the big formation and didn't want to go at all.
Because he saw that the revival army only sent the team with strange hats and childish faces, and easily crushed the charge of the Quy Nhon Nguyen army with about 12,300 men in three directions.
These charging Quy Nhon Nguyen troops were knocked over at least 300 people, but they didn't even hurt a single hair on the opposite side!
As soon as they rushed to the place where seventy or eighty meters of fire could be reached, they collapsed before they could line up!
This... I'm going to save a ghost!
Liang Wengeng was full of sweat, in his eyes, the 1,300 Quy Nhon Nguyen army rushed to the 1,200 people who were scattered in formation, and only rushed 200 meters before 300 people were overturned.
"Cavalry! Cavalry! Mr. Qian, there are cavalry coming! ”
He was still depressed, and one of his relatives around him howled as if he had seen a ghost, Liang Wengeng had the official title of Xishan Chao Qianzong, so his relatives all called him Qianzong.
Liang Wengeng, who heard the scream, raised his eyes and looked, and suddenly his back was cold!
About five hundred meters from him, a group of about three hundred cavalrymen, dressed in a sturdy-looking piece of Tessie armor and holding a horse pistol, was forming a formation.
These cavalry lined up in an extremely dense formation, and it seemed that they wanted to rush at themselves.
"Quick! Fast! Formation! Formation! The spearman is in front, the firecracker is behind, the muzzle is facing up, Lao Tzu shouted to release the gun, whoever the hell dares to put the muzzle down, Lao Tzu will cut off his dog's head with a knife! ”
Liang Wengeng shouted angrily, he is familiar with jumping gang battles at sea, but he really hasn't fought cavalry, he has no experience!
In a hurry, he formed his team into four rows, narrowed the area of the frontal defense, and prepared to resist the onslaught of cavalry.
Liang Wengeng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, those cavalry were still grinding and did not come to rush him immediately, now that the horizontal formation is set, there are pikemen and more than 2,000 firecrackers, and hundreds of cavalry don't want to rush.
However, the next scene made him completely dumbfounded, it turned out that those cavalry were not stupid, but waiting for artillery!
Dozens of artillerymen dressed in strange Tessie uniforms, pushing bronze cannons with gun carriages, went straight to the front of his formation!
Fuck you! It's over! These guys' cannons are moving too fast, aren't they?
Liang Wengeng howled miserably in his heart!
As soon as he contracted the formation, the cannon came, and such a dense formation was hit by two cannons, and he still had to die?
"Quick! Big guy, take your cannon to Lao Tzu, and go and bombard those cannons on the other side! Although he knew that he was finished, Liang Wengeng still wanted to save it.
The big guy looks like a fierce general, but in fact he is a master of artillery, and when he listens to Liang Wengeng's order, he is confused!
This is really a bad errand, he is convenient to move the tiger squat cannon, but the range of the tiger squat cannon is only seventy or eighty meters, this range to hit the three-pounder field gun on the opposite side, Liang Wengeng is thinking about peaches?
However, the military order has been issued, and the big guy has no choice but to bring a few tiger squat guns to pretend, and then order his gunners to bring seven or eight old-fashioned rifled guns, as well as a dozen heavy smoothbore guns produced by the French Charleville Arsenal.
This old heavy smoothbore gun is very powerful, although it is complicated to reload and requires a bracket when firing, but the effective range reaches a terrifying 360 meters.
However, in the case of ballistics, it is really elusive, so it is necessary to make up for the accuracy with quantity.
In fact, this thing was introduced at the end of the Ming Dynasty, called the turtledove foot gun or the hook gun, but over time, this heavy heavy smoothbore gun was gradually replaced by a light smoothbore gun.
However, in some regions, especially in the jungle terrain of the South Seas, there is still a certain market for heavy smoothbore guns.
Because this thing is equivalent to the smallest gun, not only is it powerful, but it can also be loaded with shotguns, and it is not very difficult to move.
This was originally customized by Spain from France to deal with disobedient Filipino natives such as the Sultan of Sulu, but somehow it was obtained by South China pirates.
The big guy is also an innovative talent among pirates, and he also knows how to get a batch of long-range heavy smoothbore guns to shoot at the opponent's field artillery.
But he was obviously unaware of the existence of revival flintlock rifled guns in this world, or of such an easily reloading rifled gun.
As a result, the big guy and his gunners carried heavy smoothbore guns and fired only two shots, and a dozen young guards with boat-shaped caps arrived.
Although the range of the Revival Fusilier rifled gun was shorter than that of the heavy smoothbore gun in the hands of the big guy, the firing speed was far more than doubled.
As soon as the big guy saw the reloading speed of the young guard, he knew that he couldn't beat it, and he screamed and threw himself to the ground, like a fat four-legged snake, and quickly crawled back with his hands and feet.
The pirate gunners he brought out were not as clever as him, and only a few of the thirty-odd people saved their lives.
The big guy ran away, the threat of artillery was gone, and Conrad gave an order, and the four three-pounder guns that were pushed over opened fire violently!
"Forward, forward!" Liang Wengeng, who had a desperate face, screamed miserably, and commanded the troops to hurry forward!
Even if he was about to be rushed by a wave of cavalry, he didn't care about the danger of being rushed by the cavalry, and with such a dense formation standing under artillery, it was estimated that his 3,500 men would be able to resist for three or four minutes at most before the whole army collapsed.
But as soon as he moved, the formation was directly dispersed, although these pirates were brave, but they were not good in terms of discipline and formation, and they immediately crowded together in the face of artillery fire.
Some want to take advantage of the chaos to escape, some want to rush up and fight, and some are frightened and start scurrying around!
Of course, there were also bursts of miserable screams, and the four three-pounder field guns were no joke.
And the cavalry of the Revival Army, which has already completed the whole team, is waiting for this time!
These three hundred men were composed of the best horsemen selected from the Cossacks, hussars, and Ye family.
They all wore one-sided cuirasses and formed a frontal wall charge formation of twenty men, the first three rows were holding long cavalry spears, and the back was a combination of sabers and regents.
"For His Majesty! For victory! ”
Simon raised his rifle diagonally and shouted, and the twenty cavalrymen in the front row began to move slowly in unison.
The charging distance of the heavy cavalry is not too long, and it usually accelerates slowly, and they must learn to save horsepower, especially to know how to use the explosive power of the war horse reasonably.
Fortunately, their opponent, the formation of 3,500 pirates commanded by Liang Wengeng, had become chaotic, and such infantry was the favorite target of the heavy cavalry.
After the last round of shelling, the pirates of 3,500 people lost at least more than 200 people, they barely maintained the formation in a chaotic manner, although there was no rout, but Liang Wengeng could not command anyone except for dozens of relatives around him, crying and screaming sounded all over the place, and the smell of fish wafted far away!
"For His Majesty! Charge! ”
Three hundred meters later, all the cavalry burst out with an impassioned shout, and everyone began to accelerate in power.
Three hundred horsemen, three hundred heavy cavalry with horses and horses, for a while, they ran out of the posture of thousands of troops and horses, and even the earth began to tremble.
Liang Wengeng's pirates looked at all this tremblingly, and in the face of this intense fear, the crowd that was about to face the cavalry charge head-on suddenly collapsed, they were like termites that had destroyed their nests, desperately howling and running to both sides!
"Boom!" With a speed of more than 60 kilometers per hour, the high-grade Tianzhu Folded Ear Horse crashed into the dense crowd of infantry, and the frightened pirates did not even release the loaded firearms, and everyone was fleeing for their lives.
The combined weight of all the armored horses and people reached about 1,000 catties, such a terrifying weight, coupled with a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, the impact force produced was extremely terrifying!
At present, many pirates were directly knocked into the air, so that the carbine in the hand of the cavalry had to let go as soon as it touched any object, otherwise it would be easy to hurt the arm even if the gun would bend or break.
The three hundred cavalry immediately plowed a bloody path in the pirate group, and they did not stop but chose to come out through the formation.
The cavalry behind the first three rows took the opportunity to kill the pirates running as much as possible with their sabers and wheels.
After coming out of the formation, the cavalry immediately changed their formation, and the cavalry who was originally behind drew their shorter carbines and turned them into the front row, while the cavalry in the front row, which had no rifles, drew their sabers and wheels!
It was another round of wall-mounted charge, which completely destroyed the minds of the 3,500 people in Liang Wengeng's department!
Even Liang Wengeng, the commander, was hit with a fire in the chest, and was snatched away by his subordinates at the risk of death, and fled to Longshou Hill, where the South China pirates were located.
On the right side of the battlefield, 1,400 people of Chen Wenqi's regiment were divided into three phalanxes and pressed towards the Quy Nhon Xishan Army.
The phalanx personally led by Chen Wenqi at the front had even lined up and walked fifty meters away from the Quy Nhon Xishan Army.
They were subjected to a bombardment, and a burst of untidy firing from the firearms, and the phalanx of six hundred men fell by almost forty.
But their steps did not hesitate at all, Chen Wenqi, who was holding the saber, did not even blink his eyes, and the flintlock pistols in the hands of the soldiers in the phalanx were always held diagonally in front of his chest and did not put down.
Thirty steps later, Chen Wenqi commanded the team through the choking smoke, like a demon god who came out of the fog, and suddenly appeared in front of the Quy Nhon Xishan Army!
Six hundred men had come in a line, and they had already lost more than fifty men, and the anger of revenge burned in everyone's hearts.
Chen Wenqi could even see the distraught expression of a Quy Nhon Xishan army opposite him, they were frightened and at a loss, they had never seen the army that dared to rush in front of them with dense fire, and they had never seen the army that was still determined after suffering almost 10% of the battle losses.
"Boom!" Three hundred firebolts were fired at the same time, and at that moment, it was as if all the oxygen in the surrounding air had been consumed, and the sound of the firecrackers sounded dull and shocking, and the waves of air produced were almost visible to the eye.
"Mom! Help me! ”
"Run!"
"Tang Kou is here! Tang Kou is here! ”
The terrible screams were mixed with wailing, and the Xishan army in Quy Nhon that Chen Wenqi was facing head-on suddenly fell into chaos, and countless people crowded and even crawled to escape, without even having the courage to look at them.
"Boom!" The people in the second row stepped forward, and another 300 flintlock pistols fired, and the damage caused this time was even more exaggerated, and Chen Wenqi only felt that his eyes were empty.
What a madman! He brought a total of six hundred people, and he dared to divide it into two rows, one for each three hundred people!
If you encounter a team with good combat effectiveness, you can beat him through on the spot, but Chen Wenqi won the bet, and the combat effectiveness of these Quy Nhon Xishan troops is a little better than that of the Bugis.
Since Huang Laosi became famous in Fenshuiliang, there has been a crazy atmosphere among the officers of the entire Revival Army, and many people feel that shooting a platoon gun is to pay attention to shooting at close range!
In the smoke, Chen Wenqi only had time to look back at this time, and his main battalion commander, Seventh Uncle, had already fallen to the ground, he was hit in the forehead by a lead bullet and fell on the way to attack.
"Uncle Seven! Go all the way! Chen Wenqi sighed in his heart, his eyes were red, and he raised the command knife in his hand.
"Get on the bayonet! Charge! ”
"Rush!"
In the sound of the horn, the soldiers of the 3rd Regiment were like tigers out of the cage, while the Quy Nhon Xishan Army on the opposite side ran or ran!
Just behind the right army of the Quy Nhon Xishan Army attacked by Chen Wenqi, the precious and only one of the Xishan Army, a dozen or so field guns, was there.
Chen Wenqi's target is them, without artillery, although the entire Quy Nhon Xishan Army still has more than 20,000 people, but there is no weapon that can threaten the revival army, and it will collapse sooner or later.
Zhang Wenduo also saw the direction of Chen Wenqi's charge, he pulled out the sword at his waist with a blue face, and then threw it to a tall and strong officer beside him.
"Ruan's defense envoy, go forward with my sword, those who retreat can be killed regardless of their official position, and they must hold the artillery position!"
。。。
On the left side of the battlefield, Mai Youjin and the Red Flag Pirates of his headquarters have attacked with all their strength for three times, but each time they have been repulsed.
Although the army on the opposite side did not seem to be the regular Ye Family Revival Army, and the number was smaller than them, every time they attacked, the Hua Nanhai pirates could not please them.
"Serve the Army! Kill the thief! ”
A passionate roar sounded, and unexpectedly, among the troops of the South China Sea pirates who were responsible for blocking here, the strongest combat effectiveness was actually the 2,000-strong Han'er Xiaojie army.
One thousand of them are the elite drawn from the small martial arts created in various places, and Zhang Youcai, the son of Master Zhang, who is full of Han and barbarians, is the best among them.
At the same time, Li Jieyao, a boy of the Li family who did not admit that he was a Yue person and insisted that he was a son of the Li family in Longxi, was also in this army.
Those who are like him, who do not admit that they are Yue people when they are killed, and have a very resolute attitude, and who dare to resist unruly, have long been noticed by the instructors of various small martial arts.
After they were sent to Thang Long City and concentrated, they were subjected to strict selection and rigorous training.
And Ye Kai told them that if they win this battle, regardless of whether they have meritorious service or not, the whole family can change from Yue people to Han people, and if they have made meritorious contributions, they will be allowed to go to Zhongqi and Nanqi to be Han masters in the future.
Therefore, the combat power they burst out was quite terrifying, and even Ruan Wenxun and Huang Fengyi's subordinates, who had average combat effectiveness, were more effective than before.
These passionate roars reached Mai Youjin's ears, and it was full of taste, and several times he was about to crush the front Ruan Wenxun department, but as soon as this shout sounded, a group of madmen who did not want to die would rush up and repel his forward.
These guys are not afraid of death in battle, and they are also very good at fighting in formations, whether it is a gun or hand-to-hand combat, they are particularly fierce!
With the style of not being afraid of death, he can often be beaten by a few hundred people, and he can fight thousands of people, without three times their number, and they can't even hold the front at all, and to repel them, they need at least five times more military strength.
Damn, these Yue people trained by King Ye are so fierce, how fierce should King Ye's regular revival army be?
Mai Youjin glanced sympathetically at the Quy Nhon Xishan Army besieged in the distance, and the screams of these Vietnamese people could not even suppress the roaring gunfire, and spread far and wide.
After sympathizing with the Quy Nhon Xishan Army, Mai Youjin glanced back at Mo Guanfu on Longshou Hill in the distance.
Lose your building!
You're an idiot!
Shovel!
You yourself offended He Xiwen, so you can only go to the dark with Ruan Hui, and you also fooled Lao Tzu to back up, saying that the Fuxing Army was blocked by the Ma River and could be destroyed, and your mother's came to destroy Lao Tzu to try!
While he was scolding in his heart, a little pirate leader hurriedly ran over.
"Big brother, I've thought of a good way to deal with those yelling guys, they are really not afraid of death, but it's too stupid, we can feign defeat and lure them out of the big army, and then surround them with ten times as many people!"
Mai Youjin's face became darker and darker, but the little pirate leader didn't notice that he was still talking about it!
"Smack!" Mai Youjin slapped the little pirate leader in the face!
"Wai Wei, around your mother, you are also your mother's idiot!"
