Chapter 594: Hao Shaoqi's Decision (First Update, Ask for Subscription)
The officers and soldiers are calling!
When Hao Shaoqi learned the news, the Ming army had advanced to less than ten miles away from Baoding City, so he immediately led thousands of cavalry under his command to kill the Ming army.
"Hao Ye, are we going to fight head-on, or are we ......?"
"Spank a fart!"
Hao Shaoqi pointed to the horizon in the distance that was illuminated by the exploding fireworks.
"Hitting them head-on is simply sending them to death, the enemy can come, I can go, let's go and cut off their back road, as long as we copy their back road, they will definitely retreat!"
I have to say that the battlefield is the best classroom, maybe Hao Shaoqi was not born as a general, or even from a military family, at most he has read a few military popularization textbooks compiled by the Ming Dynasty, but the experience accumulated over the years of conquest allows him to accurately grasp the situation of the battlefield.
"All of them, I will kill them with Hao Ye......"
As in the past, when Hao Shaoqi took the lead in the charge, he held a large flag in his hand, which is the origin of his name, under his leadership, thousands of thieves' cavalry directly from the left flank of the Ming army to their flanks and rear, in this already boiling battlefield, no one even noticed their presence at the beginning, after all, it will not be dawn yet, at most it is a half-bright day. When the infantry on the flanks spotted them, they were not even three miles away.
"The Thief's Cavalry ......"
When the soldiers in the trenches found the cavalry of the thieves, they immediately shouted in shock, and Xu Shu, the sentry commander, looked in the direction of the enemy's attack, and immediately understood their intentions, and it was too late to think about other him, so he immediately shouted.
"Everyone listened to my orders and quickly rushed to the position of Jialiu, one word...... Get out of the way! ”
On the battlefield, the price of any hesitation is life, and the moment Xu Shu gave the order, the soldiers immediately jumped out of the trenches, and they stood in a row, thousands of soldiers, just like that. And in the distance is the roaring thousands of cavalry, the movement of those cavalry rushing is earth-shattering, there is a thunderous sound of horses' hooves, there is a great meaning to step on everything in the world, in the face of the rushing cavalry, they even have some understanding of why those thieves will flee.
Don't say it, this sound alone can make the faint-hearted person tremble in fright, and his legs go limp. But in the face of the cavalry that came to him, Xu Shu seemed very calm, he was holding a saber and just quietly looked ahead, and when he saw them approaching the effective range, he roared.
"Raise your gun!"
Thousands of soldiers lined up in a long line, one after another, took aim with the rifles raised by the password, and stood there motionless, holding their guns, waiting for the commander's order.
"Put!"
With the roar that burst out of Xu Shu's throat, a series of gunshots rang out, and in an instant, the entire line array was shrouded in white gunsmoke, and thousands of Liao 13 muskets opened fire when they were 500 meters apart, and thousands of bullets flew towards the rushing cavalry.
When the bullet hit, everyone, including Hao Shaoqi, didn't expect that the fire gun could hit so far, and even a second ago, when he saw the Ming army firing, Hao Shaoqi had a thought in his heart - "idiot".
These officers and soldiers are really stupid, can they hit so far?
Even before this thought dissipated from Hao Shaoqi's heart, those bullets fell in the crowd, on the horses, like raindrops falling on the water, splashing up patches of water, but this water was blood, and a cloud of red blood mist splashed out among the cavalry, and many cavalrymen didn't even figure out what was going on, so they fell down one after another, and then were trampled on by the war horses in the rear, on their heads, but it was only an instant, and the people who fell off the horse were trampled into flesh.
This scene, I can only see Hao Shaoqi's eyes are incredible, this ...... How could a firebolt hit so far? That's a mile away!
————
At the moment when this thought came to his mind, he saw clouds of white smoke with fire rising from the officers and soldiers in the distance.
The officers and soldiers are letting go again!
How can it be so fast?
didn't even give Hao Shaoqi time to think, the dense rain of bullets fell on them like raindrops, hundreds of cavalry, just like that, some of them were hit by bullets, but more of them were hit by the horses, the bulleted horses howled and threw the riders down, and it fell heavily to the ground before it could run a few steps.
The reality of people falling down kept making Hao Shaoqi dumbfounded, he had fought for so many years, he never expected to encounter today's situation, and he hadn't even seen what the Ming army looked like, and he had already lost hundreds of cavalry on his side.
How could the firecracker hit so fast?
When Hao Shaoqi was frightened by the speed of the officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers standing in line hundreds of meters away were once again loaded, and they directly stuffed the paper-wrapped bullets into the chamber of the gun together with the paper belt bullets, and then vigorously slammed the butt on the ground, and then put on the fire caps, and the whole process was only a few seconds. The application of nitrated paper, a special material, accelerated their rate of fire and freed them from the reloading step of gunpowder and projectiles separately in the past. This "bullet-shelled flammable bullet" radically changed the war because, after all, it more than doubled the rate of fire of the riflemen of the Pingju Army.
This kind of technology, which was eliminated by metal shells just after invention in another world, shines here. It's just that this kind of brilliance is a disaster for the thieves.
After all, the faster the rate of fire of riflemen, the harder it is for their lines of defense to break through!
Although the cavalry around him kept falling, Hao Shaoqi did not give up, he still held the big flag, and shouted loudly while charging.
"Sons, follow Master Hao and I will kill the official dog......"
"Kill the official dog!"
As before, the cavalry shouted loudly, their weapons in their hands, their eyes fixed on the front, their eyes fixed on the line of the officer, and rushed without hesitation. But what awaited them was a dense rain of bullets.
For these cavalrymen, it was like a road to hell, they were like a group of people who were in a hurry to die, and they struck at those bullets, 14 mm bullets easily penetrated their bodies, and deformed and twisted in their bodies, and when they flew out, they often dragged out a fist-sized piece of flesh, and sometimes the people who were shot sometimes fell in despair before they even had time to scream.
As for the galloping war horses, when they were shot, they fell down as if they were tripped by a stumbling horse, and the thieves on horseback didn't even react, they were pressed under the war horse, and while they were struggling, the hooves of the galloping horses slammed into their heads, and at this moment, they shattered like a ripe watermelon with a "bang......
