No matter how wide the cavalry array is, if you want to rush to the front of the relatively narrow car formation, you can only slowly gather together.

When the cavalry was about to rush to top speed, a whistle sounded in the defensive circle.

At the sound of the whistle, the cadets of the frontal cavalry put their tunnel muskets on the firing ports of the carriages, ready to fire at any moment.

The choice of the timing of the musket was handed over to Zhang Yunyi by the teenagers.

At this time, the experience of the veteran can allow Zhang Yunyi to choose the best time to fire steadily, and there will be no random launches.

Holding the whistle in his hand, Zhang Yunyi was very emotional.

With these teenagers under him, Zhang Yunyi was already satisfied, and he couldn't be more satisfied.

In the past, in the border army, Zhang Yunyi saw more recruits who shot indiscriminately. Even many veterans can't do what they are told.

Often, as soon as the enemy army attacked, someone on their own side opened fire indiscriminately. And those gunshots that rang out indiscriminately were very bad guidance for the gunners of their side.

Once the rhythm of gunners' firing was completely disrupted, the Ming army was not far from defeat.

The junior team does not have this shortcoming, and there have been no cases of indiscriminate shooting.

Seeing that the cavalry was about to enter the stage of charging with all his strength, Zhang Yunyi blew the whistle in his mouth vigorously.

With a "bang", the gunshots fired by the teenagers almost simultaneously converged into a huge sound.

With the sound, the cavalry array, which had just been raised to full speed, seemed to have hit something, and as if it had been bitten head-on by some monster, a huge gap appeared in the center of the array facing the car formation.

There were only about 80 teenagers in the frontal cavalry. The first firing of these 80 teenagers caused huge losses to the cavalry of the Zarut Division.

In the visual inspection, at least 40 cavalrymen were knocked down in this round of shooting by the junior team.

Although the total number of more than 40 cavalry is somewhat insignificant compared to 2,000 cavalry, due to the arrival of the cavalry in the front row, the cavalry that followed the shock has begun to appear a little chaotic.

For the cavalry that had already charged at full speed, it was not easy to adjust to the battle.

"Okay."

Seeing the effect of the shooting, Zhang Yunyi waved his hand vigorously and excitedly continued to observe the route of the cavalry impact.

The shooting point of the junior team can be controlled so intensively, which Zhang Yunyi did not expect.

"Done", "Done".

With the sound of the young man in the car finishing, Zhang Yunyi blew the whistle in his mouth again.

"Bang".

The second salvo of the junior team was still impressive.

Another 3 or 40 horsemen of the Zarut division were knocked to the ground.

The strike point of the cadets was still chosen near the first shot, which was a node for the Zarut cavalry to converge and charge.

With this shot, the freshly adjusted cavalry shock array was disrupted again. This time the rhythm of the cavalry's assault was clearly panicked.

With the sound of reloading, it sounded again.

Zhang Yunyi, who was observing the route of the cavalry attack and calculating the speed of the cavalry impact, was surprised to find that the junior team still had enough time to fire the third shot.

The cavalry rushed into battle and could fire a third shot, and the reloading speed of the junior team was extraordinary.

This time the Zalut Department was unlucky, and they ran into an iron plate.

"Huh?"

Observing that the trajectory of the opponent's cavalry charge had changed, Zhang Yunyi temporarily stopped the whistle that was about to be blown again.

The opposing cavalry actually began to turn, are they preparing to mount and shoot?

Zhang Yunyi's judgment was right, and the opposing cavalry did not continue to charge at their chariot formation. Instead, he turned and swept a few dozen paces away from the chariot, and shot his bow and arrows like rain down on the caravan.

Sure enough, it was the world-famous cavalry shooting of the Mongols.

Alas.

Sighing softly, Zhang Yunyi blew the whistle in his mouth again.

"Bang."

The third volley of the junior team again caused casualties among more than 30 riders of the opposing team.

Facing the cavalry of the Zalut Division, Zhang Yunyi's heart was completely relaxed.

Mounted archery is basically useless for the current junior team.

The carriage provided the cadet team with quite complete anti-archery conditions.

Arrows shot with a Mongolian cavalry bow are not enough to pierce the carriage, even with the bonus of horse speed.

Riding and shooting did not cause any damage to the teenagers in the car.

On the contrary, the cavalry archery took the form of sweeping along the edge of the formation to release arrows, but it gave the junior team the best opportunity to make a side attack. The junior team can calmly shoot and injure the other party.

By the time the last cavalry passed in front of the convoy, the cadets had already fired eight rounds of gunfire. Although the hitting efficiency of the side attack has decreased, it can also kill and wound more than 20 riders per round.

In this way, the first round of confrontation ended, and nearly 200 cavalry of the Zarut division were left in front of the formation of the junior team. In the first battle, the number of troops was reduced by one, and the morale of the Zalut department was greatly damaged.

Battle couldn't believe his eyes, the opponent's defense was so strong, which made him how to fight.

Battle observed carefully, and most of the arrows fired by the cavalry were fired at the opponent's carriage. The number shot into the carriage was very small.

Even if the bow and arrow were fired, the outcome of the battle could not be confirmed at all because the carriage obscured the view.

It can't break through the opponent's defense, and the musket of the opponent's counterattack is very sharp.

How can this battle be fought?

The Zarut cavalry retreated to the place of departure, and the caravan remained silent.

There was a stalemate on the battlefield for a while.

Carefully considering the situation on the battlefield, Battle is in a dilemma.

Let's fight, the opponent's defense is too strong, and if you want to overcome the caravan's car formation, the cavalry seems to be unable to do it. It is estimated that infantry will have to be used to break through the formation.

Even if the infantry is used to attack the formation, according to the casualty ratio this time, I am afraid that I will lose thousands of people in breaking through the vehicle formation.

Spending thousands of soldiers in exchange for this caravan, Battle felt a little unworthy.

What's more, the other party obviously didn't go all out. At least those border veterans haven't made a move.

But if he didn't fight, Battle wouldn't be able to open this mouth for a while.

One reason is that there is indeed a great shortage of supplies in the tribe, and this caravan is urgently needed to replenish it. Another reason is that the face of the tribe cannot be erased.

After an attack, they lost nearly 200 people and didn't get anything, and if they just evacuated like this, they would lose a bit too much face in Zalut's department.

Urging the horses, Battle circled around the caravan's chariot.

It's very well defended. Battle sighed in disappointment.

"Temur, what do you think we are going to fight?"

From the end of the first wave, Temur was thinking hard. But the problem is that the other party shows too little of it. Their first wave of attacks didn't even test the opponent's defensive bottom line.

According to the intelligence, there should be nearly 1,000 people on the other side, including more than 200 veteran border soldiers who are skilled in archers and horses. That's a lot of power. But what is the other party going to use it for?

The other party should have used a musket just now, and it seemed that there were more than 100 people fighting at most. Although the number of shots fired by the other side was small, the discipline was very good.

Temur noticed that the opponent fired at the same time every time, which was the only way to inflict a lot of damage on their speeding soldiers each time.

Was it the veteran who fired the gun, or was it someone else?

Are there only these muskets in the opposing formation, or are there still quite a few?

Temur was very nerve-wracking.
