Chapter 599: The Great Wall of Steel

Spear Impact......

The same goes for spear impacts.

Thirty meters or eight feet away, all the musketeers fired a salvo......

This distance is somewhat different from that of infantry.

The countless bloody lives on the battlefield in Europe have tested that it is necessary to fire a few meters earlier against the cavalry, and the standard should be thirty yards in Europe, because even if it hits the enemy's war horse, it may be because the latter can't stop the car and crash directly.

At that time, the cavalry had no choice but to turn back.

So thirty yards is the standard distance.

"Pull back and reload!"

Seeing the person in front of him turn over on his back, Ma Jinzhong yelled again.

His soldiers ran away.

He looked at a cavalryman in front of him with some reluctance as he leaped from a fallen horse, and then carried his axe and spear backwards.

In front of him, a musketeer of his own side raised his gun and pulled the trigger, and the bullet hit the spearman.

Then the soldier drew his bayonet as fast as he could, and the three waves of spear cavalry in front of him jumped over the fallen horses, carrying the reflection of a piece of polished plate armor, and rushed straight at them with a spear like a monster. This time the musketeers of the second line did not retreat, their feet were already full of dead bodies, and the cavalry would definitely not dare to charge again, and even if they did, they would have to stop, after all, there were too many dead bodies to form a blockage, and the first row was loaded with bayonets and raised muskets, and the rear quickly began to reload.

At this time, the spear cavalry turned and tried to pursue Ma Jinzhong's subordinates......

These guys are infuriating.

Run after the fight, whatever they will come out again.

But their position is excellent, the three spear phalanxes are arranged in a zigzag pattern, between the front and back is the width of six rows of musketeers, the spear cavalry tried to rush up and poke them, but they immediately encountered the spear flanking of the two spear phalanxes in the front and rear, these spears were almost six meters, and the front and rear flanking completely closed the passage, and those cavalry were instantly stabbed and turned over.

Ma Jinzhong excitedly brandished his axe and slashed the horse's legs, and the soldiers behind him hurriedly reloaded.

The new muskets were almost completely reloaded in less than a minute, and the musketeers reloaded while the cavalry was blocked, and then fired again.

Other cavalry charged the spear phalanx.

But the six-fold spear still has enough thickness to withstand their onslaught, after all, when a jungle of spears is in front of them, most of the war horses instinctively do not rush hard, even the ancient mounted cavalry will actually stop before the impact, and then poke with weapons such as horses, and at this moment these cavalry are the same, but their spears are difficult to pierce these spearmen who use the spears.

The length gap is too large.

The cavalry tried to stab as far forward as possible.

But then he would have to face more than a row of spearmen, and when the dense array of countless spears poked at him, he would not be able to use any martial arts.

And even if they stabbed, the spearmen would be fine.

All spearmen are half-armoured.

Although not thick enough to hold off bullets, it is still difficult for spears to actually pierce these carburized wrought irons without stabbing hard.

The spears of the infantry and the cavalry were mixed together in this way, and there were constantly the screams of the horses being stabbed, and the screams of people being stabbed, and the cavalry who rushed too deep was dragged off the horseback by the infantry, and then directly poked to death with an awl, and there were also cavalrymen who swung their shovels or whips to smash the heads of the infantry, and their dead bodies piled up instantly, and blood flowed under their feet......

The fight with cold weapons is extremely bloody.

There were even cavalry that were directly attacking the small cavalry phalanxes of the Jingnan army.

However, this one was the most unlucky, because there were musketeers in the cavalry phalanx.

This is the trick of Gu Erye to withstand the bird feathers, the Swedish cavalry, who has been trampled by the bird feathers for many years, successfully counterattacked, in fact, because he arranged the musketeers in the cavalry, and he calculated the fact that in the same distance, the hit rate of the short gun and the long spear are too different. In musket fire, the advantage of the infantry musketeers was enough to overwhelm the cavalry, so he simply mixed the cavalry and musket infantry, and arranged the cavalry and musket phalanxes at intervals.

When the bird feather rushed over with a spear of more than five meters, the infantry first shot in the face, and then the cavalry was responsible for the hard attack.

The Liaodong iron cavalry, who also rushed towards the cavalry of the Jingnan Army, faced the musket phalanx in the cavalry formation in the first wave.

It's still a salvo of eight faces.

However, after the battle, the musketeers in the first row raised their muskets with bayonets.

Then the two cavalry phalanxes on the left and right raised their spare spears in the same way......

Zhanghachi spear.

Yang Xin was not confident in his cavalry fighting.

A group of military households who have only been trained for a total of half a year, originally without any combat effectiveness, compared with these elite cavalry in Liaodong, no matter how brave they are, it is difficult to offset the advantages of people who have experienced a hundred battles, especially the ancestral Wu family, these family types, they are martial arts that have been trained since childhood, and Yang Xin's gang was still hoeing grass in the field half a year ago.

This is the gap between a farmer and a knight.

At this point, he is not even as good as Second Master Gu.

Even if the cavalry of other people is not as good as the bird feather, it is also a professional soldier who has experienced a hundred battles, so it is enough for the Swedish cavalry to have a sword, but Yang Xin can only give his subordinates eight spears, and then use the body of the war horse and the cavalry to withstand the impact of the cavalry. To put it bluntly, these cavalry phalanxes are meat shields, meat shields that are stronger than infantry, and the six rows of infantry are killed, which cannot affect the Liaodong cavalry to step on the dead corpses through, but these cavalry are all dead here, and no matter how superb the Liaodong cavalry is, they can't jump the dead corpses of hundreds of people and war horses piled up.

The Liaodong Iron Cavalry, who had just been knocked down by a single shot, had to use their spears to continue to poke at the eight spears of the cavalry of the Jingnan Army.

Then watch as the infantry finishes loading.

At the same time, a steady stream of soldiers for follow-up reinforcements was arriving.

There was also a battalion behind them.

This battalion is not enough, there is a brigade reserve in the rear, and as long as the front does not retreat, then this front will always be maintained......

"How can this be overcome?"

Zu Dashou, who was watching the battle from a distance, said irritably.

This is all his descendant, in order to grab this first credit, his cousin Zu Dale personally led the ancestral family, this is the foundation of the ancestral family! It can be said that these cronies whom he has cultivated with all his financial resources are now in a real bloody war, and they are constantly suffering from the attrition of the Jingnan army on the opposite side.

"Collect the troops!"

He said without hesitation.

"Yixing Bo ......"

Zu Kuan reminded him.

"Collect the troops, with these brothers, we are the pillars of the court, without these brothers, we are a fart!"

Zu Dashou said very simply.

Zu Kuan didn't say anything, as the family of the ancestral family, he is absolutely loyal, and this is indeed the truth, the civil officials have always thrown away the generals when they run out, and the gold and silver mountains that the ancestral family has made over the years are not because of these families, they have use value, and they are a fart without these ancestors. Immediately after that, he rushed out of the Chinese army, and then issued a retreat order with a large banner, and with the wave of the flag here, the Liaodong iron cavalry on the battlefield retreated like a tide, leaving only thousands of dead bodies and wounded soldiers.

However, there were also many casualties among the Jing Nan Army, and basically a quarter of the losses of one brigade were lost.

After all, this is also a real elite cavalry, all of them are in a hundred battles, and it is already amazing to be able to play this result.

"Let them come and clean up after themselves!"

Yang Xin said.

Li Zicheng hurriedly urged the horse forward, and informed Zu Dashou to send someone to wash the floor.

"Order the 1st Brigade to retreat and rest, and the 4th Brigade to step forward to take over."

Yang Xin then said.

Zhang Xianzhong immediately urged the horse to come forward to convey the order, and soon the brigade that was originally the rear guard of the phalanx lined up to exchange positions with the brigade of the original forward, and at the same time as the transfer and change of defense here, Zu Dashou sent people to carry away the wounded and dead bodies, as for their war horses that were still alive, of course, they were laughed at here, and the dead ones were left there as rejection horses!

And Lu Xiangsheng never moved, just waited silently on the opposite side, and the heavy artillery bombardment between the two sides continued.

Including mortars.

Lu Xiangsheng also has mortar shells on his side.

There is a scientist named Apocalypse, as well as a group of talents from the Academy of Sciences, their technical level is not much worse than Yang Xin's, basically they have everything that Yang Xin has, at most it is later, this is a matter of thinking, but what Yang Xin's current technical level can do, Apocalypse and his Academy of Sciences can also do.

Although the civil officials still scolded the emperor behind their backs, they also had to admit that these things were really useful, especially the gentry in Beizhili, who had begun to obviously enjoy the benefits of scientific and technological development, whether it was the widespread use of cement, or the increase of various hydraulic and animal power machinery, all of which changed their lives. In particular, the steam engine of the Apocalypse is getting more and more perfect, and it is said that it can run continuously for five minutes without breaking, and the nine thousand years old boast about the value of this thing to those eunuchs every day......

It can't be considered a boast, after all, the use of hydraulic machinery in the north is too defective.

The eunuch gentry were also curious about this thing, which was said to be able to get rid of water power altogether, and make those machines work day and night all year round.

Soon, the redeployment of the Jingnan Army and the clearing of the battlefield were completed.

Lu Xiangsheng's infantry formation finally began to move forward.

Even the elite cavalry of Zu Dashou failed, and at this time they could only go to the infantry, saying that these two armies were pinned on by Sun Chengzong, carrying the hopes of the gentry of Beizhili.

The twenty-four battalion formations of the two infantry corps formed three large columns, slowly moving forward to the sound of drums and trumpets, and soldiers in half-armor or cuirass silently marched forward with their spears in both hands, or their heavy arquebuses in their arms. At the same time, Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou's cavalry also attacked, but they bypassed the three infantry corps-level phalanxes, presumably preparing to attack the guard brigade from behind, after all, this infantry formation that didn't even have spears seemed to be easier to bully.

Although Yang Xin is in the back.

But Yang Xin also said that he would not take action in person, and his words still counted.
