Chapter 413: The Beginning of Infantry Coordination
Sun Chuanting pulled out his waist knife with tears in his eyes, and roared and issued a military order: "Change the fire!" ”
The only way for infantry to fight cavalry is spears, which is also a deep-rooted common sense formed over a thousand years, and switching to firearms can only send you to death.
It is difficult for people who read books to change the common sense that is ingrained in their minds, let alone ordinary people who can't read a few big characters.
But just after Sun Chuanting issued a military order to 'send to death', the ordinary officers and soldiers would have mutinied a long time ago, but the Qin soldiers meticulously carried out the military order.
Thousands of Qin soldiers all abandoned the 'spear' equivalent to their lives and picked up the 'fire gun' equivalent to death, and at the same time turned the only tight formation that could resist the cavalry into a loose line formation.
The infantry can only rely on two things against the cavalry, one is the extra-long spear, which is used to penetrate the cavalry that charges in the first wave, and try to reduce the charging ability of the cavalry.
The second is a tight formation, the biggest advantage of cavalry is the flexibility brought by speed, which can be constantly shuttled in loose infantry formations.
Forming a tight formation, the infantry became a hedgehog curled up, and it was possible to fight the cavalry.
Abandon these two things, and there is only one dead end.
Qin Bing still did not fear to change into a new type of firearm, although this new type of firearm is not a standing firearm of Qin Bing, but he has also practiced with dozens of models and knows how to use it.
At the same time that the Qin soldiers changed their doumi-style rifles, the thief cavalry also began to turn their horses' heads.
The biggest advantage of cavalry on the battlefield is flexibility, and the biggest shortcoming is also flexibility.
The cavalry flexibly harvested the lives of an infantry by constantly interspersing infantry formations, but turning the direction was not as simple as the infantry, and only needed to turn around.
If the cavalry wants to turn around, it can only draw an arc on the battlefield through a buffer of a certain distance, and then turn the direction and intersperse the infantry formation again.
Once you stay where you are, it's hard to turn around.
While the thief cavalry was struggling to turn their horses' heads in place, the Qin soldiers had replaced the doumi-style rifles, and under the leadership of the small banners, they were walking towards 'death' step by step.
At this time, the artillery battalion and the rocket battalion had also adjusted the firing angles.
The leaders of the 36 battalions of the thirteen families can survive to this day, all of them are gold from the big waves, although they have not read any books, nor have they studied military books and battle strategies at length.
But fighting a war is not all on paper, but more on experience.
Speaking of the experience of fighting, many of the small leaders in the 36th battalion of the 13 families are more experienced than the officers and soldiers, and they are the leaders of the rogue who started the least.
King Chuang Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and others are all leaders of the rogue who can fight well, how can they not know the shortcomings of the elite cavalry.
Just after King Gao Yingxiang gave the order, Li Zicheng also gave an order to an elite infantry under his command with a high armor rate, and immediately went to cover the retreat of the elite cavalry.
At this time, he saw Li Zicheng's mind and vision, and his first thought was not about personal gains and losses, but about the overall situation.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the living elite cavalry can play a far greater role than the average elite infantry.
Therefore, just when the other rogue leaders were still thinking about the loss of their own elites, and were thinking about whether to send elites to fight in the past, Li Zizhi decided to send his elites to the battlefield.
Save the elite cavalry.
Six hundred meters.
Five hundred meters.
Four hundred meters.
Three hundred meters.
Just as the Qin soldiers advanced to a distance of three hundred meters from the thief cavalry, Li Zicheng spent a lot of effort to cultivate an elite in armor, blocking the front of the elite.
The leaders of the Liukou saw the Qin soldiers who were crushing the past step by step through the Western clairhand mirror in their hands, and they were a little worried at first, after all, the military appearance of the Qin soldiers was not comparable to that of ordinary officers and soldiers.
When they saw that the blades in Qin Bing's hands were not spears and waist knives, but arquebuses, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Sun Chuanting is a nerd after all, he really thinks that firearms are invincible on the battlefield, this arquebus with a very slow charge is not the kind of magic cannon just now, after firing it once, it is no different from a burning stick."
"I can't blame him, after all, he is a literati who has not fought a few battles, where is we familiar with all kinds of firearms."
"The demon art just now really scared Lao Tzu, and now seeing Sun Chuanting like this, Lao Tzu is relieved."
Just when the leaders of the Liukou used ridicule and ridicule to calm the fear of witchcraft in their hearts, Luo Rucai, who was good at seeing the seams, immediately issued an order: "Hurry up and let Lao Tzu's Luo Jiajun rush over, it's a fool not to take advantage of such a advantage." ”
When the other leaders heard Luo Rucai's anxious order, they hurriedly issued the same order, and hurriedly asked the kobold military division under their command to rush over to grab the credit as quickly as possible.
The kobold military divisions ran out as fast as they could, and soon overtook Luo Rucai's staff, a little strange is that the kobold military divisions were eager to put on their wings, but Luo Rucai's staff was unhurried.
Luo Rucai sneered and did not speak.
Regardless of whether there is a advantage to take advantage of, Luo Rucai has always adhered to the principle of saving his life, his military merits are different, and his prestige is not important, who can survive to the end is the most important thing.
Luo Rucai's silent behavior in the back once again allowed him to escape.
Just as the leaders of the rogue gave the order, the elite under their command also rushed over.
The Type 05 field guns of the artillery battalion fired.
With a deafening roar, a large number of dazzling fires exploded on the battlefield, and a large amount of gunpowder smoke was filled at the same time.
More than 200 cannonballs with gunpowder smoke accurately landed in Li Zicheng's armor elite, and the Qin soldiers in front of them sneered at the armor elite who were holding shields and broadswords and preparing to slaughter.
In an instant, it was hit by more than 200 cannonballs, and the tight arrays that had been lined up also collapsed, and there was a wail from the elite in armor who were sneering and preparing to slaughter the Qin soldiers.
The Qin soldiers were ready to die, and just as they were about to put on their bayonets for hand-to-hand combat, they were also dumbfounded.
After all, it was also the first time that the Qin soldiers had fought together with infantry and artillery, and it was the first time they had faced this situation.
Before the two sides could make contact, the enemy had already been ploughed by their own artillery.
Even if there is a Eight Banners soldier in front of him who eats people and does not spit out bones, the only thing left is to pick up cheap.
The Qin soldiers immediately pulled the Doumi-style rifles, and with the sound of 'bang', 'bang', and 'bang', the gunpowder smoke was choking like a fog, and the elite in armor wailed again and fell down.
Qin Bing knew that the effective range of this Doumi-style rifle was 510 meters, and the battlefield was full of thieves, piled up in front of them.
