Chapter 170: The Old Man Makes a Threat
The Bird Bearers know that their guys are powerful, and even if the enemy is wrapped in iron armor, they will be killed by a cheap buckshot.
Now the "Red Banner Army" commanders from top to bottom are convinced of the head of their family's assertion that the firearms unit will gradually replace the cold-weapon unit, because they have all seen the Houjin army, armed to the teeth, as unbearable as paper paste under the blow of lead bullets.
The infantry of the "Red Banner Army" brought by Huang Yizhou to participate in the ambush was selected, and all of these 300 infantry could ride horses and were archers.
Unlike during World War II, the ability to shoot was a basic requirement. Most of the soldiers in the Ming army did not know how to shoot arrows, because archers were professional soldiers.
The 300 people who participated in the ambush were also all the infantry archers of the 'Red Banner Army', and this time the ambush battle did not involve hand-to-hand combat with the enemy as much as possible, and could be attacked from a distance.
Because only the main general Huang Yizhou himself has the ability to ride the battle, and even Song Pengfei can't do it on the horse, so he also has no riding ability.
When the enemy did not choose to face the official road, the enemy needed to consider whether to defeat the blockers of the formation or suffer casualties and quickly pass through the enemy's range and continue to flee along the official road.
Huang Yizhou also had some regrets in his heart, how good it would be if there were another 300 cavalry here, and the Houjin army that could escape here should be scarred, and it would be very likely that he would launch another thunderous blow and annihilate the enemy.
The infantry formation of the small 600 people did not wait long, but it was only two moments, and the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the south of Guan Dao, and Song Pengfei ordered: "All raise your guns and prepare, as long as the enemy enters the firing range, shoot immediately." ”
Song Pengfei knew that it was just right to block here, and the Houjin army could only choose to break through, they could not choose to turn around, and they didn't dare to delay time, because as time went by, there would be more and more pursuers behind.
Fifteen guns can be cheaper if you attack one round earlier, so why not?
As expected, the remnants of the 600 or so enemies who had been beaten out of their courage saw that although the Ming army blocked the attack, they did not block the way, and they did not want to fight desperately, so they curled up as much as possible to beat their horses and gallop.
The sound of "crackling" seems to be chasing life, and the Jiannu who were hit all let out a heart-rending howl, and the bird gun in this era is a round sphere of about three coins with lead bullets, with limited penetration, but the damage effect is much more terrifying than the bullet of the 38 big cover when hit.
The wound of Jiannu's body will be stirred into a blur of flesh and blood, even if he escapes without dying for a while, it is difficult to survive, lead poison will contaminate the blood and cause infection, and Jiannu's backward medical technology is helpless, and it can only depend on his life to survive.
Raising the gun is like a small cannon, the attack effect is even more terrifying, the three or two major projectiles shot out will hit the enemy's head will break the head, hit the body will make a bloody hole, even the war horse can not withstand such a blow, and being hit by the vital point is also nine deaths.
chose to resign himself to fate, and gambled on the Ming army's bird gun, which did not necessarily fight his own Jiannu, at this time, he saw the same kind of miserable death and wanted to cry without tears, and he had no courage to fight again, so he lay on the horse and played with his life.
Turg saw the wheelbarrows and the swaying spears, and knew that the Ming army was well prepared, and that it was not a shock that could break through, and he also followed the tide and ran forward.
The spear and the bird gun only fired three rounds, but the foot archers shot more than ten rounds of feather arrows, in fact, there was enough time for the foot archers to shoot arrows, but unfortunately they had done their best, and now their arms were numb and they could not pull the bowstring at all, and they could not effectively release the arrows.
Even so, about 600 Houjin soldiers and horses can't bear it, although the attack of more than 3,000 feather arrows is as majestic and beautiful as a flying locust, in fact, the damage effect is average, and what makes Jiannu miserable is those lead bullets that are not visible at all.
Although less than 300 lead bullets entered the Jiannu cavalry group, each one of them was able to leave a fond memory for the enemy.
The distance of thirty paces is a side attack again, and the target of riding a tall horse is too big, even if a blind man shoots, as long as the direction is correct, it will hit the enemy nine times out of ten, and the worst can also hit the war horse.
This is not a war, but a massacre, because there is no fighting, one side is on the run, the other side is practicing rapid-fire movable targets.
It's too aggrieved, there are really Jiannu hundred warriors crying while fleeing, they are not afraid of death but they can't bear such a blow in their hearts, many people are scolding their master Amin, because the cause of all these disasters is that he ran away quietly.
How wronged Amin was, how could he have predicted the astonishing speed of the surprise attack of the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army", and actually succeeded in intercepting and killing the three messengers he sent.
At this time, Huang Yizhou had already fired more than a dozen feather arrows left and right, and felt a little powerless, he turned over and rushed out of the reserved wheelbarrow gap with a red tassel gun on his horse, this move scared Song Pengfei out of a cold sweat.
Even if the Houjin army left on the battlefield did not die, it would be seriously wounded, but if a dying Houjin army threw a tiger spear or battle axe with all his might, it would not be a problem to kill the Ming army that came closer.
If the old master dies in battle with him, where will he live? Song Pengfei was anxious, and ordered loudly: "All of them, charge and kill the enemy to clean up the remnants, kill!"
Not a single one hesitated, and five or six hundred people rushed out of the camp with shouts, and even the carts and guns were pushed up by the miscellaneous servants and rushed forward.
The momentum of this overwhelming charge is really amazing, and Jiannu doesn't know that these people's combat effectiveness and protection are not worth mentioning, and they rushed out and messed up the formation, in fact, they have lost their cover, and they are very likely to hold their leather shields and return to their horses to kill and annihilate these Ming infantry.
It's a pity that the Houjin army, which was charged and killed many times, completely lost their fighting spirit at this time, they only knew that so many Ming troops had launched a charge, and they should be brave.
After being ambushed again and losing half of their people, the Jin army did not dare to turn back, and everyone lay on their horses and clamped the horse's belly and rushed forward.
Huang Yizhou jumped out of the formation with a spear, of course, he would not be reckless and lose the large force of the Houjin army chasing two or three hundred people, he came to assassinate the enemy who had fallen behind, these people were all severely injured without exception, and their combat effectiveness was less than thirty percent of the usual.
This veteran of the Ming army is powerful, his marksmanship is tricky, nine times out of ten he stabbed at Jiannu's throat, this action is efficient and labor-saving, and in a moment, three armored people and one flag man have already spurted blood from their throats and fell to the ground and kicked their legs.
At this time, Song Pengfei came up with the infantry, he stood on a high place and stared at the battlefield with blazing eyes, holding the already loaded bird gun in his hand, and there were two students behind him holding his two spare bird guns.
Song Pengfei was surrounded by Zhao Kun, Liu Sihai and other seven soldiers who hit birds with a hit rate of more than eighty percent, all of whom had two guns.
