Chapter 503: Suddenly Crappy Cavalry

The sacks on the cart were filled with broken porcelain and pieces of iron, although these things were not as lethal as the lead particles in the standard firearms and ammunition, but they were relatively lightweight, and after the explosives exploded, they would splash a long distance, causing the greatest damage to the surrounding enemies.

Although the people of this era have knowledge of firearms, saying that they are powerful, but there are few on-site viewing and experience, the cart that was originally placed on the road suddenly exploded, countless pieces of iron and broken porcelain flew out with a roar, and those people around the carriage suddenly let out a miserable scream.

The scope of the killing is definitely not only the front team, the people behind are also more or less affected, Fujian and Guangdong are located in the south, the climate is warm, so the soldiers are wearing single clothes, broken porcelain and iron pieces splashed out, and the single clothes are unstoppable.

The people in the front were naturally the worst, some were beaten into honeycombs, some were covered in blood and wailed there, and some of the people in the back were wounded, which was originally a small mouth, but under the loud noise, listening to the ghosts of their companions crying wolf, the body suddenly stabbed, and the heart was also extremely panicked, and the whole formation was suddenly chaotic, although the officers were frightened, they still shouted loudly to maintain the formation.

But I don't know what was in the sack on the car, after the explosion, there was not much real damage, but smoke, although it was broad daylight, but suddenly there was such a thing, the surroundings were completely quiet, the field was noisy, but it was eerie like a ghost domain.

"The whole team, don't mess up, don't mess up, the people outside are all standing, it's just some smoke tricks."

Although most of the leaders of the private soldiers of the maritime merchants were officers of the guard and mid-level samurai of the Wa Kingdom, and these people had some experience in leading troops, the private soldiers below were all pirates and bandits, including some Japanese outlaws, who had no experience in fighting with firearms.

Daily training is also available, but for these lawless and fierce people, if they are really restrained by military law, it will have the opposite effect, and everyone is working hard for money, there will really be like the army's intentions, even the army at this time is a mess.

The line of 4,000 people on the road was very long, and now the first half of the line was filled with white smoke and screams, and the officers behind were gradually unable to restrain the team, and they were about to break up.

Pulling out the long knife at his waist, he rushed into the chaos of the soldiers, waved left and right, and suddenly several heads rose to the sky, blood splashed everywhere, and randomly arranged his own soldiers, picked up his head with a spear, and shouted loudly at the top of his voice:

"Go back to your own team, if there is a violator, you will be killed!"

The soldiers and generals below also shouted, looking at the human head in mid-air, as well as the cold and shining blade in the hands of the boss, they all slowly settled down, and the wounds on the body that were cut open by broken porcelain and iron pieces, if the heart settled down, it was just a senseless wound.

"Move those big cars away, give the seriously injured ones a happy one, and let me follow the minor ones honestly!"

Sure enough, there are some doorways, this scene is so restrained, the leader is relieved in his heart, but faintly feels that something is wrong, according to the estimation of time, the Guangdong fleet will not dock in about two days, and such a thing happened on the road, like a pre-prepared ambush.

He muttered there for a moment, then turned back and beckoned to a few deputies beside him, and spoke:

"Pass the order down immediately, the back team will become the front team, and return to Yuegang immediately."

The deputy was a little stunned when he heard this order, and one of them couldn't help but say:

"That's all the things that the lord has to explain, let's ...... here"

Before his words fell, there was a sudden sound of shouting and killing on both sides of the road, accompanied by a rumbling sound, as if thousands of troops and horses were rushing over, and the leader watched there in amazement, but found that there was a large number of cavalry not far away, and the black pressure was approaching.

How can there be cavalry here!? All people with some military knowledge are stunned, the private soldiers and soldiers in Fujian, that is, the horses and pack horses that some officers ride, how can there be so many horses, the hearts of the people who have just been leveled are panicked again, Fujian and Guangdong are mostly battles on the water, even these private soldiers are rarely wooden spears, are knives and axes, speaking of which, this is also a thing that the maritime merchants are quite proud of, after all, the price of knives and axes is much more expensive than wooden poles and spears.

But it was a joke to guard against the charge of the cavalry on horseback, and they had firearms in their hands, but for safety on the march, they did not even put gunpowder into their weapons, for fear that the slightest mistake would be dangerous during the collision of the march.

Looking at the crowd rushing on both sides, they saw that each other's horses were not very tall, they could even be said to be short, and there were even mules and donkeys inside, holding thick bamboo poles in their hands, with iron thorns in front of them, which looked like children playing a game of war.

However, hundreds of thousands of people lined up in a row, rushing towards this side, and the maritime merchants and private soldiers standing on the road all felt that they had nowhere to escape, and as the other party got closer and closer, their psychology gradually could not support it, and the infantry array resisted the impact of the cavalry.

Obviously, the private soldiers on the road are not this type of army, and the reason why they did not run was not because they wanted to hold on, but because they were stunned, not knowing whether they should raise their weapons and kill, or turn around and run, and the slightest hesitation would have cost them their lives.

When he got to the front, the first person was directly pierced by the bamboo spear, and the corpse hung on the bamboo spear, and he crashed directly into the back, watching his companion be stabbed all of a sudden, and the first reaction of those behind him was not to take this opportunity to rush up.

Instead, they ran away, and the whole formation on the road quickly collapsed, and no one could hold it up, and if Zeng Rat's horse dealers were here, they would definitely see these cavalry that suddenly appeared, and the dwarf horses they rode on were the Sichuan horses and Yunnan horses they sold, and of course, some mules and donkeys.

In fact, if it is a Mongolian horse, the lethal effect of this charge will definitely not be just to kill so few in the front row, and many horses have exhausted their strength by the time they finally sprint. Therefore, the effect of the bamboo spear is very poor.

After the soldiers finished charging, they rushed towards the ranks of the maritime merchants as much as they could, dropped the bamboo spears in their hands, and drew the swords in their hands to slash and kill there, which was also to let the remaining waves rush up and cause greater damage.

This kind of horse is not a special war horse, and it is very uncomfortable to use, whether it is a charge or something, the second wave of impact after it is not completely rushed, and many horses do not move forward halfway, or fall down on the road.

However, even this was enough, after all, it was the onslaught of more than 2,000 cavalry, and although it was a cavalry charge that was not in order, the troops on the road were all scattered, some ran towards the open field, and some gathered together to stand on their own.

The ambushed armies on both sides dismounted one after another, quickly gathered into a square with weapons, and began to kill effectively, the formation of the ambush soldiers looked hard trained in advance, about a hundred people gathered into a square team, and the people around were holding spears, swords and shields.

He didn't run, he just walked slowly there, like a monster with steel spikes, and the spear kept stretching and stretching, and one person fell, and dozens of squares divided and surrounded those who had not had time to escape in the field, and killed them one by one.

These people are fighting silently, although the private soldiers of the maritime merchants are brave, but the will is much worse, some people can no longer support such a hard battle, throw away their weapons and kneel down to surrender, although the battle at sea is tragic, but for the surrender of this is very lenient, because the outlaw is not always a master, today is the enemy, tomorrow may be an accomplice, so the surrender is after disarming, let a way out.

But today's battle is obviously not this concept, everyone kneeling there was mercilessly killed, more and more people chose to flee, dozens of small squares slowly gathered together, formed a large square, surrounded the people in the field.

Now at this time, the only resistance is the leader of the Japanese and hundreds of leaders and cronies below, these people are indeed brave, and the ambush soldiers' unsparing killing and fighting methods also make them feel that there is only one way to resist desperately.

The surrounded maritime merchants and private soldiers had already gathered together, as if they were hedgehogs, it was difficult to bite, and they couldn't bite down at all, and the leader of the wolf was even louder to shout and command, holding a big knife in his hand, and the ambushes rushing up around him couldn't get close at all, but were cut down a few.

The leader of the Japanese Kou was extremely angry in his heart, and he still didn't know who the enemy in front of him was, and seeing that the posture of these people was obviously not a Guangdong bandit, the big knife in his hand forcefully forced back a few people in front of him, and shouted in stiff Chinese:

"Who the hell is ......?"

There was a screech, and a long, fast-flying arrow shot into his gaping mouth.......
