Chapter 600: Lu Xiangsheng's Flowing Water

"Quick!"

Zukofa urged his men.

As Zu Dashou's adopted son, of course he will not be absent from this big battle......

But he's not a high official.

Because of his youth, he was just a sentry commander at this time, and his official rank was only a thousand households, of course, if he could make great contributions in this battle, then Feihuang Tengda would be just around the corner, and he would inevitably have some ambition at this moment. After all, it didn't seem like a hard job, as he had only a group of grenadiers with grenades in front of him, and the infantry with muskets behind them.

Although there were spear stabs on the muskets.

But this kind of weapon, which still adds up to a few feet, is obviously incomparable to the Zhanghachi spear.

Not even as long as his spear!

"Brothers, the time has come for us to be rewarded for our meritorious service, open the enemy formation, and seal the wife and shadow is just around the corner."

He roared excitedly.

The cavalry on either side of him roared in unison.

The cronies of these ancestral families, with their superb riding skills, are gradually approaching like a stretching wall, and the spears in their hands are held in one hand and clamped under their ribs, while controlling the reins to continue to accelerate. The horse's hooves flew and stepped out of the thunderous hooves and stepped out of the dust, so people were desperately urging the horses, and such walls stretched to the left and right, also behind them, there was a similar wall not far away, and then there was another one, three waves of riding walls.

They were the most important, and also the most dangerous, of the first wave, designed to break through the enemy's lines, bypassing through the gaps in the phalanx.

However, at that time, the first round of ammunition of the infantry was basically empty.

This was followed by the second wave.

At this time, the infantry's bullets were not yet loaded.

The cavalry directly broke up in one wave, and then the third wave killed the scattered infantry.

This was taught to Cao Wenzhao by the guy sitting on the back of the elephant on the other side, and then Cao Wenzhao spread among the armies of Liaodong, in addition to this, there were diamond-shaped attacks and the like, but this tactic had high requirements for cavalry horsemanship.

Because it has to be intensive.

Again, the more cavalry in the same width, the better.

In the end, it was like a wall, and it crashed into the target.

This tactic works well.

The Liaodong armies have often bullied small groups of Jiannu cavalry with this tactic over the years, including this time against Lin Dan Khan, although the loose formation cavalry is more flexible, as long as it is hit, it is basically like being destroyed. After all, this tactic usually doubles the number of enemy troops when colliding with the enemy, or even more spears are stabbed at an enemy at the same time, and as for dealing with these infantry at this moment......

"Ready!"

Zukefa yelled.

The Jing Yan army lined up on the opposite side suddenly threw countless grenades, followed by the second round.

Then the guys turned around and ran.

At this moment, because the speed was too fast, before the first batch of grenades fell, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, which had already rushed to the landing point by itself, was instantly overwhelmed by the fire and gunsmoke, and the dense explosion made their war horses neigh in horror. But fortunately, the horses were also battle-tested, and despite their fear, they continued to move forward according to their instructions, although many of the cavalry were still blown down. Zukoffa didn't bother to look at this, because the second wave of grenades exploded under his feet, but he still rushed out of the smoke, including most of his men.

But there was chaos in the order.

But just as he stabilized his mind, on the opposite infantry line, countless flames suddenly erupted with gunsmoke, and the next moment the whistling of bullets swept through like a raging storm.

Two of his horsemen to his left and right fell at the same time.

But he still escaped, and then he ran into the line of infantry, and the spear in his hand instantly pierced the body of one of the infantrymen, and despite the slender spikes in front of him, he still controlled the warhorse and tried to ram, but the horse instinctively turned its head because of the spikes......

It is indeed accustomed to the smoke of gunpowder.

After all, it has been on the battlefield for many years, and although it doesn't like the smell or the sound of gunfire, it has adapted to it.

But I've never seen this.

The countless slender and long spikes in front of him were aimed at him, and the war horse was not a fool, it was true that it was a livestock, but livestock was sometimes more sensitive to danger than people, and these strange things made it feel death equally obviously. While Zukoffa struggled to keep it forward, it tried to turn its head, and the inertia of the rapid charge made this action suddenly fatal. In Zukefa's exclamation, the horse stood up with a neigh, and then six bayonets from the opposite side instantly pierced its stomach, and the horse fell to the side with a scream.

Zukoffa reacted very quickly, instantly left the saddle and rolled aside.

But......

"I surrender!"

He looked at the four bayonets in front of him and screamed.

One of the soldiers looked to the side, looked at the soldier who had been stabbed to death by his spear, and without hesitation plunged the bayonet into his chest.

At the sound of his screams, the second wave of cavalry passed over the dead bodies of the horses, and the soldier drew his bayonet as fast as he could, and then propped it up at his feet, just as the muskets that had just been exchanged by the second row of soldiers behind him erupted into flames.

The next moment, another cavalry collided, he didn't see Zu Kefa below, the rapid charge of the war horse suddenly stepped on the latter's chest, and Zu Kefa, who had not yet breathed, suddenly sank into his chest, and at this moment, the war horse was also blocked by bayonets, and then the cavalry on horseback was stabbed down with a bayonet......

And then......

No then.

The third wave turned around and left.

Even the cavalry of the second wave, who had dodged the bullets, did not dare to break into the line, but rushed towards the gap on both sides.

But then there were the bullets that flanked left and right.

And at this moment, on the periphery of the two phalanxes on the first line of the guard brigade, such battles are staged one after another.

At the same time, Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou's other subordinates were also attacking the two army-level phalanxes on the left and right in vain, but no matter which one, they couldn't break through.

Even if it was useless to rush away, a group of cavalry under Wu Xiang finally broke through a hollow phalanx, but then fell under the bayonets of those regrouping infantry, this kind of phalanx was useless to break away, as long as the soldiers did not break up, it was nothing more than regrouping. On the contrary, the cavalry that fell into it quickly fell in the siege, this is not the kind of officers and soldiers who turned into headless flies as soon as the cavalry rushed away, and these soldiers did not care about breaking through one or two gaps.

Elite cavalry?

The elite cavalry did not make a move when it encountered the infantry that did not break through the gap.

While the elite cavalry was once again in an embarrassing situation, on the other side of the battlefield, the infantry attack had already begun......

"Steady!"

Liu Guoneng shouted.

He was already a battalion commander.

Their group of anti-thieves were promoted very quickly, except for Luo Rucai and Li Jin who were brigade commanders, most of the others were battalion commanders and sentry commanders, after all, Yang Xin's previous expansion caused a shortage of officers, and they were all middle and lower-level officers with actual combat experience after all.

It's precious.

"No fire, no order!"

He continued to roar.

His battalion has not been on the battlefield so far, but most of the officers are from the Yang family, but they have only participated in the battle to defend the city, but fortunately, these soldiers are disciplined and let them do whatever they want. At this moment all the soldiers were holding their guns, blowing the arquebus from time to time and silently looking at the enemy opposite, who was also marching forward in formation, and did not shoot either, only the shells of both sides fell on the opposing soldiers from time to time.

Obviously, Lu Xiangsheng also wanted to copy the tactics of the Jingnan Army, although the salvo could not be played, but it was better to close the distance to a more accurate distance before firing than wasting bullets from a distance of twenty or thirty zhang.

In tense battles, it is not uncommon for soldiers to unsuccessfully load bullets with their hands and fail, resulting in the failure to fire normally.

There are a bunch of bullets stuffed in the barrel.

And there was so much gunsmoke that you couldn't even see the enemy clearly, so this first shot was indeed the most important.

However......

"Ma, this is going to run away?"

Liu Guoneng looked at the other side speechlessly.

The soldier on the opposite side obviously couldn't stand this pressure and turned around and tried to escape, after all, if he didn't shoot like this, he would walk face to face with a gun, especially if he was close enough to hit his own muzzle if he fired, this pressure was still very high. However, the hapless soldier was then slashed by the officer, who continued to urge the soldier forward, and then the formation continued slowly forward, which was clearly somewhat chaotic.

It's still firmly on the spot.

The distance soon reached fifteen zhang, and even the officer on the opposite side was looking back, but the drumming behind him still did not stop.

They had to keep getting closer.

The hit rate of fifteen zhang is still very low, Lu Xiangsheng hopes to get closer, anyway, he knows that he will not fire if he is not on the side of seven zhang.

However......

His soldiers can't stand it!

Fifteen zhang.

Less than 50 meters away.

The muzzles of the guns are almost visible.

It's all about this, and the hit rate of this distance is more than fifty percent on weekdays, and more than half of them may die if they pull the trigger, and then more than a dozen soldiers turn around at once, and those officers shout and scold, and even cut with knives, but the result is to make the chaos worse.

"Forward!"

Liu Guoneng suddenly shouted.

The soldiers on his side immediately advanced with muskets in hand.

He was in a forward formation, and as soon as he advanced, the brigade commander on the main line behind him also understood, and also gave the order to advance, and the entire huge line immediately began to move forward. The formation on the opposite side had stopped, and the officers were in a hurry just shouting and scolding the soldiers, and they were in no mood to care whether they were advancing or not, but the drumming continued behind.

Liu Guoneng and his subordinates quickly narrowed the distance to ten zhang......

"One!"

He suddenly roared.

Then he took a big step forward.

The soldier on the opposite side looked at him in horror.

And the soldiers on his side neatly took the same big step.

"Two!"

Liu Guoneng shouted.

Then he went on to take a big step.

The soldiers likewise followed.

"Three!"

He yelled.

Then he raised his leg and prepared to take the third step.

"Run, if you don't run, they'll shoot!"

A frightened scream suddenly sounded from the opposite side.

The next moment, all the soldiers on the opposite side turned their heads like crazy and fled backwards, and even the vast majority of those officers made the same choice, and a few officers who were still heroically trying to stop were pushed down in the blink of an eye, and then drowned under countless feet......
