The horses are neighing, and the wounded soldiers are screaming!

It sounds like a crisp gunshot continues to ring!

There was the sound of gunfire from the Minnie rifles of the Aoyama Garrison Battalion, and the sound of the Guang'an cavalry rushing up and firing with revolvers.

Gunshots come and go, and you come and go!

The Gwangan cavalry approached at high speed, then passed between the chariots and opened fire with their revolvers, taking advantage of the wide field of view and firing range on their horses, threatening the lives of the soldiers of the Castle Peak Patrol Battalion hiding behind the chariot formations with pistol bullets.

The soldiers of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion relied on the vehicle array for mechanical loading and shooting!

Their rate of fire was much slower than that of a cavalryman with a six-round manual revolver, but they also had a formation of vehicles to rely on, so they did not expose themselves to the range of the cavalry pistol.

At the same time, the Minnie rifles in their hands also have an advantage in accuracy!

When the first wave of Guang'an cavalry rushed at high speed, many soldiers of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion fell in the car formation, but the Guang'an cavalry also fell a lot.

In fact, after the first wave of Guang'an cavalry rushed over, they had less than fifty horsemen left!

One hundred and twenty horsemen charged, and in the end only fifty horsemen were left alive to make it through the line!

The casualties are huge!

But their sacrifices and efforts also covered the second and third waves of cavalry attack groups, and the next two waves combined with at least 400 cavalry rushed up one after another.

Their tactics were still to approach at high speed and then attack with revolvers, the only difference being that they carried torches that had been lit in advance and threw them at the wagon.

In addition, some cavalry threw bombs on horseback that were rarely used by cavalry, causing many casualties in the Castle Peak Patrol Battalion.

But the Aoyama Patrol Battalion is still holding on!

Because even the second and third waves of Guang'an cavalry rushed up, they could still only use revolvers to attack after rushing up, just like the first wave of cavalry.

This is essentially a firepower confrontation, and it has nothing to do with the impact of the cavalry!

Now the competition between the two sides is marksmanship and the ability to withstand casualties.

In fact, the current battle between the Qingshan Patrol Battalion and the Guang'an cavalry is completely different from the normal battle mode of the infantry phalanx against the cavalry.

In the field, the cavalry will not directly rush to the infantry phalanx, they will mobilize the enemy infantry phalanx through high-speed maneuvering on the battlefield, so that the infantry phalanx will expose its weaknesses.

After finding a weak point, it is to directly launch a dense charge, and this charge is not the use of revolvers, most cavalry will choose to use sabers!

However, although the Qingshan Patrol Battalion was also arrayed to meet the enemy, they had a chariot formation as a defensive barrier, and no matter how strong the impact of the cavalry was, it was impossible for them to rush away the carriage full of supplies!

As early as decades ago, in the Heng Olympic War, there have been countless actual battles that have proved that enclosing the transport carriages to form a chariot formation is definitely the best tactic to resist cavalry attacks.

Because the cavalry can't break through the chariot formation at all!

The essence of the chariot formation is actually to give the baggage troops in the field a fortified wall!

No matter how powerful the impact of the cavalry is, it can't break through the city walls!

Also because of the popularity of the infantry hollow phalanx, the fire cap flintlock pistol used by the infantry has a faster rate of fire and a higher firing rate, and even with the advancement of technology, even if it is still a flintlock pistol, but the range and accuracy are higher than the flintlock pistol a hundred years ago.

All these have led to the traditional cavalry charge gradually losing the ability to make a final decision on the battlefield!

It's not that the cavalry can't break through the enemy's infantry phalanx, but they really don't have more to lose!

In recent decades, the cavalry of the feudal towns on the side of Daheng have been seeking tactical innovations to regain the ability to assault the enemy.

In this process, the appearance of manual revolvers using fire caps and paper shell ammunition allowed the cavalry to return to the pistol cavalry combat mode of hundreds of years ago.

Rushing up and attacking directly with a pistol at close range, six rounds of ammunition were fired in the shortest possible time, and some cavalrymen even carried two pistols, which meant that they had twelve bullets.

Cavalrymen armed with revolver hand pistols are far superior to traditional cavalry in their ability to fight at close range.

In small and medium-sized cavalry duels, the Pistols can easily defeat cavalry in traditional dense formations and with sabers or pikes, regardless of whether they are cuirassiers or light cavalry.

When attacking enemy baggage troops, it is also possible to threaten baggage troops that use a wide range of vehicle formations.

However, the use of pistols is still not the main mode of combat of contemporary cavalry, and in fact, when a wide range of cavalry units launch a charge, especially in the case of orthodox field charges, they are still more inclined to use sabers, and they are more effective.

This is especially true of the larger the size of the cavalry participating in the battle!

A dense, cold-glowing saber is far more intimidating and lethal than a revolver.

But today the tactical goal of the Guang'an cavalry attack on the transport troops was decided, and it was impossible for them to use sabers!

Because the Qingshan Patrol Battalion would not give up the car formation at all and run out to face them head-on.

Even their revolvers were limited, their pistols had a short range and poor accuracy, especially since the cavalry still fired on high-speed galloping horses, plus the soldiers of the Castle Peak Patrol Battalion also had carriages as fortifications.

This means that the cavalry's hit rate is not too high.

The only thing they could rely on was the superiority of the rate of fire of the revolver.

They were able to unleash a storm of bullets in a short period of time, and then intensively kill and injure the soldiers of the Castle Peak Patrol Battalion, forcing the Castle Peak Patrol Battalion to collapse.

As long as the Qingshan Patrol Battalion collapses, then the subsequent battle will be simple.

The casualties of the Aoyama Patrol Battalion were heavy!

It was so big that Lin Ziran seemed to be heartbroken!

His vehicle formation originally consisted of nearly 200 soldiers from the Castle Peak Patrol Battalion, including the 1st Light Infantry Company, an artillery platoon, and his guards.

But now the number of dead and wounded has reached more than 60 people, and this casualty figure is already quite large.

But!

The Castle Peak Patrol Battalion still hasn't collapsed!

Even though the screams spread throughout the entire defense line, they still didn't collapse!

And there is no reason to collapse, and Lin Ziran himself doesn't know why.

Perhaps because of the morale that he had boosted in advance, the promise to the soldiers came into play.

Maybe the cavalry of Guang'an is outside, and the soldiers can't escape at all!

Lin Ziran didn't know why, but he could see from the movements and expressions of the surviving soldiers of his own army, they were still supporting.

It's just that it's unknown how long this support will last.

Huge casualties, the threat of cavalry can crush them at any moment!

But in the same way, when the siege is carried out at the risk of huge casualties, but it is never possible to make a breakthrough, it can also crush the Guang'an cavalry!

Now it's up to anyone who can't hold out first!
