Zhang Xianzhong raised his short spear on the galloping warhorse, got as close as possible to his companions on both sides, and then rushed straight to the spear forest opposite.

This is the last Chang'an army formation that is still holding on.

An entire infantry battalion was besieged by the infantry cavalry of the Dangko army, and all the spearmen were propped up their spears, and the musketeers who had retreated to their midst, still firing bullets from time to time. It was also the most tenacious of all the Chang'an troops on the battlefield, and although the other battalions around them had all been routed, and even their cavalry and artillery had fled, they still faced the siege like the last Spanish phalanx to hold out on the battlefield of Croleo.

Zhang Xianzhong began to aim.

The Wheel Flare Rifle in his hand was not light, and he actually did not like this weapon because its range was too short.

It's almost impossible to hit anything exactly beyond ten feet.

Only within this distance can it be guaranteed that it is possible to hit the target, only that it is possible to hit, and in order to really guarantee the hit rate, you have to get even close to within five zhang, if it is not on horseback at this distance, it is almost possible to ensure that the hit rate is more than eighty percent, of course, it is difficult to say how on horseback.

Just shake it and it will be off.

This meant that when they were engaged with the archers, it was almost impossible to shoot before the archers.

And even if you shoot, you can't hit.

But they still have to use this.

Because now with the new armor has become the standard configuration of all armies, bows and arrows are meaningless, especially the cavalry bow, which is usually only five buckets, it is impossible to shoot through the new armor, the surface of the wrought iron is carburized and then polished with foot machinery, and the broken line is deliberately made in the middle, even if the heavy arrows of Jiannu cannot shoot through the six-centimeter-thick new armor commonly worn by infantry and cavalry.

The arrows will be deformed.

But this short spear can, it can penetrate this armor at a distance of about seven zhang.

So the cavalry had no other choice.

On the galloping war horse, Zhang Xianzhong held the reins in one hand and a gun in the other, just like during training, staring at the spear forest in front of him, and the dense spears were diagonally supported on the ground in different postures, forming a trap of death for the cavalry.

From time to time, there are sprays of gunsmoke in the trap.

He kept estimating the distance, and his men on either side of him were on horseback, and his subordinates, almost side by side, also pointed forward with their guns raised.

"Fire!"

He suddenly roared.

He then pulled the trigger, and at the same time the other men pulled the trigger.

After firing the bullet, he didn't even bother to look at it, and then threw off the short gun and pulled out the second one instantly, and the others did the same.

"Turn and fire!"

He yelled.

Almost at the same time he turned his horse's head, and the horse under his crotch turned quickly in a wild gallop, and at the moment he pulled the trigger, and the recoil of the musket made him shake violently on the horse's back, and his men and men also completed the turn and opened fire at the same time, but one of them was slightly slower, and the man and the horse crashed sideways into the spear formation.

In the mournful roar of the war horse, the man still tried to struggle to get up, but then he was stabbed to death by countless spears.

Zhang Xianzhong urged the horse to leave.

Behind him the second group of cavalry arrived and opened fire......

"No, you can't open them like this!"

He said to Liu Guoneng.

"How else?"

Liu Guoneng is also very entangled.

In fact, they are only attacking one side, the Chang'an army of this battalion is besieged by cavalry on all sides, Sun Shoufa obviously wants to rely on cavalry to break through this formation, after all, their cavalry also wants to grab credit, and Yang Dudu is very generous to the reward for meritorious service. The Chang'an army was very difficult to fight after shrinking, although it was not square like the Spanish phalanx, but after shrinking, it still became a dense hedgehog with spears on all sides, and the infantry was caught in the spears and fired, although the firing speed was much slower than normal, but it was also constantly projecting fire.

The cavalry fired in rotation with this musket, and it was difficult to break through this formation in a short time.

"It would be easier if our spears were longer, just use the spears to charge into battle!"

Zhang Xianzhong picked up the spear that was inserted on the side and said.

Their spears were less than a foot.

There is no content of spears charging infantry formations in their training, attacking infantry is musket rotation, and only picking up spears when the cavalry is attacking, this set of tactics is Yang Dudu combined with the East and the West, and the musket rotation of European cavalry is not as good as spear impact in cavalry warfare.

This is a battle-tested.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xianzhong's eyes were fixed on a discarded infantry spear on the ground, he threw away his own, immediately dismounted and picked it up, and then remounted his horse and tried to clamp it under his ribs like his own, holding the spear in one hand, but he rushed forward a few steps and quickly gave up......

Too heavy.

This thing costs twenty pounds!

It's definitely no problem to hold it, and it's barely possible to use it, but with such a thing, you have to ride a horse and gallop forward to stretch it out, which can't be stabilized at all, and you must know that the infantry can only use this with both hands.

"Let's honestly follow the rules, the rules are like this, then there must be such a reason, let's just do it according to the rules"

Liu Guoneng said as he reloaded his short gun.

Unbeknownst to them, their bravery was winning the praise of Yang Dudu on the top of the mountain.

This strange tactic began to become popular in Europe, to a large extent, because no cavalry was willing to ram the infantry formation, and the combination of spear formations and muskets made the death rate of cavalry attacking infantry formations increase dramatically. Except for the hussars, who still retained the spear charge tactic, almost all other countries abandoned the cavalry charge and changed to pistol bang bang because the cavalry was unwilling to take risks.

In fact, even if it is true, the results may not be successful.

The hussars could not break through the line of Swedish infantry.

The hussars did defeat the Swedes several times, but they did so with the cavalry, and in fact the hussars did not break through the Swedish infantry formation.

"Get out of the way, let them taste this!"

Excited shouts rang out from behind.

The two of them looked back in amazement, and saw their battalion commander with a team of soldiers, dragging two cannons, obviously this is on the artillery position of the Chang'an Army, this kind of two-pound cannon adds up to a few hundred catties, and a horse can maneuver on the flat ground with a drag. The Chang'an troops on the other side, who also saw this scene, were in an uproar, and then began to fall into chaos, although the officers commanding in the formation were still trying to save morale, but the soldiers who had been able to hold on to the battle in the face of the cavalry were panicked only because of the appearance of the two cannons.

Indeed, they were not afraid of cavalry sieges.

The cavalry's thumping attack with short spears didn't really hurt them much.

Not to mention the tragedy of the hit rate, even if it is hit, the heavy armor of those spearmen can also weaken the damage, after all, this is a short spear not a turtledove, and the two-millimeter surface carburized wrought iron has a certain defensive effect, unless it is very close, but the cavalry who fires very close can easily turn their heads and then hit the spear directly.

It can be said that the cavalry did not have an overwhelming superiority.

At least these infantry were exhausted, and the cavalry could not be opened in front.

But......

It's not the same with cannons.

"Steady, isn't it just two small cannons, what are you afraid of!"

The commander in the crowd shouted heroically.

Zhang Xianzhong urged him to step forward.

"The Hou of Hejian has an order, surrender the gun and don't kill, the Dangkou Army treats the prisoners preferentially, and the Marquis of Hejian promises a thousand gold, saying that if the prisoners are treated preferentially, they will definitely be treated preferentially!"

He yelled.

"Don't listen to them, we have the blessing of Confucius, we are invincible, we will definitely be able to win, and the victorious army is coming!"

The commander inside shouted.

Well, that's exactly how they advertise among the soldiers.

After all, they also need soldiers to have a little faith bonus, propaganda is not in line with their aesthetics, and in the end they can only use Confucius to bless them, which is particularly serious in the Chang'an Army, it is said that before sending troops, they must first drink Zhuangxing wine in front of Confucius Sheng, and those respected elderly villagers will serve them wine, and shout a few slogans of Confucius blessing together. However, there are also different, for example, the Dutch in the Changsheng Army are advocating them, and some of them believe in them, but the problem is that there are also people who believe in the old religion, and even the Tianxiong Army is still popular in worshiping the Jade Emperor, in order to be able to get faith bonuses, they can be regarded as painstaking.

However......

"Open the cannon, Lao Tzu will see how Kong Sheng blesses you!"

The battalion commander in the back shouted.

The two two-pound cannons, which had been quickly erected, suddenly erupted in flames.

At this moment, they are only a few dozen feet away from these Chang'an troops, even if they are filled with solid bullets, two actual two-and-a-half-pound iron balls that crashed into it at supersonic speed still instantly brought a piece of flesh and blood splashed, and the huge impact force even smashed several broken legs.

"Confucius doesn't work!"

Zhang Xianzhong said with a smile.

Then the cavalrymen who were waiting to charge laughed, and in their laughter, the Chang'an soldiers did not hesitate to lay down their weapons.

"Raise your hands above your head and walk over there to line up!"

Zhang Xianzhong shouted.

Then this was originally the most tenacious team in the Chang'an army, like collapsed sand, groups of hands raised out of the formation, including those wounded were also carried out by their companions, anyway, for these soldiers, they can support until now It is really worthy of their conscience, at this time they are still left on the battlefield, and the others, including those generals, have run away.

Surrender, surrender, anyway, the Marquis of Hejian will not kill prisoners.

In the blink of an eye, only the commander remained, and he looked at the scene as if he were stupid, standing under a lone banner, standing among the dead bodies, holding a knife and crying without tears. In the end, he gritted his teeth and put the knife on his neck, obviously he wanted to be like a real warrior, but looking at the eyes of Zhang Xianzhong and others watching the show, he was instantly deflated, and let out a long howl of grief and indignation, but he still put the knife down.

"I look down on you like this, if you want to commit suicide, you will commit suicide, you put it on your neck and take it down, will you throw yourself into the river next time and the water will be too cold!"

Zhang Xianzhong said disdainfully.

The man did not speak, threw the knife on the ground in grief, and then, like the others, slowly walked out with his hands above his head.
