Horses are actually quite sensitive, rather timid animals, and they can easily be frightened by loud noises, flashes of light, and so on. www.biquge.info As for hitting something that looks sharp, it's against the nature of a horse. In fact, many times, if the cavalry must let the horses crash directly into the bayonet, they need a special equipment, that is, the blindfolds, and they will only crash into the horses if they cover the eyes of the horses.

Of course, the bayonet in the hands of the Manchu cavalry was longer than the flintlock pistol and bayonet of the model army, and if they ran directly into it, there should be a big chance to hit the opponent first, but the rider knew this, but the war horse did not. So as long as they can dodge, the war horse will automatically avoid these targets.

The last round of shotguns from the two six-pounder guns, as well as this round of shooting from the soldiers, not only knocked down dozens of war horses, but also made the other war horses can't help but slow down. At this time, the model army had already completed the change of formation, from a horizontal formation on the front line to a hollow phalanx, and suddenly gave up a gap that allowed the horses to run through, and the war horses naturally ran over there.

As he rode through the void left by the hollow phalanx, Jihali waved his arm sharply and shouted, "Go! He threw a bone at the hollow phalanx, and at the same time he saw a line of fire flash in the hollow phalanx, and then his warhorse fell forward.

Almost instantly, he pulled his feet out of his stirrup, and at the same time threw away the bayonet in his right hand, and as soon as he pushed his hands in the saddle, the whole man jumped up, and then rolled forward on the ground and stood up.

Fortunately, at this time, the horses of the other Manchu cavalry were not fast, and they had time to avoid him, otherwise Jihari would have been trampled to death by his own horses.

At this time, the entire horse team had already rushed through the gap in the hollow phalanx. In the assault alone, the two hundred cavalry were reduced by almost a third (of course, the riders were not so few, many just fell off their horses.) ）。 And the war horse was forced to start accelerating from a long distance, and now the state of the war horse is generally not good, and it is definitely impossible to complete the second impact. And the results they achieved in this attack were only by throwing out the bones or something, smashing the single-digit model soldiers.

The shrill whistle sounded again, and in an instant the hollow phalanx was unfolded, and it became a horizontal column again, only in the opposite direction from before. The Qing soldiers who had fallen from their horses when they were passing through the hollow phalanx just now were immediately surrounded by several bayonets. Among them is Jihari.

Jihali drew his sword and lunged at one of the Model Army soldiers. The warrior on the opposite side did not show weakness either, and stabbed at him with a bayonet. Jiha flicked the bayonet aside with a flick of his sword, and then took a step forward, intending to slash at his opponent. But at this moment, two bayonets stabbed from the side, and Gihari had to jump backwards and abandon the attack. The three Model Army soldiers also took a step forward, and the three bayonets kept stabbing at different angles. In the face of the turn-in-turn attacks of the three bayonets, Jihali could only keep parrying, and had no ability to fight back. Suddenly, there was a pain in his lower back, and a bayonet had already stabbed through it. Jihari went limp, and two more bayonets stabbed him in the chest.

With a swipe, three bayonets were drawn from Jihari's body, bringing out splatters of blood. Like a cloth bag full of dirt, Jihari fell to the ground with a thud, and died with a twitch of his hands and feet. Several of the soldiers immediately returned to the queue and stood in the queue, and everyone else in the queue shouted to them, "Well done!" ”

At this time, the other Manchu cavalry who had fallen off their horses had already been killed. On this battlefield, there is no mercy but killing. The drums of war sounded again, and the whole column began to approach the Manchu cavalry who had just turned their horses.

This group of cavalry had already lost their commander in the battle just now, so they didn't know what to do for a while. At this time, the artillerymen also turned the muzzles of the two six-pounder guns and pointed the muzzles of the guns at the Qing cavalry.

At this time, the Qing army was far from the time of 1840, and it was not even the Qing soldiers of the Ping San Domain, the Qing soldiers at this time were at the peak of the Manchu army in terms of combat skills and fighting will. So they are still hesitant to continue fighting.

At this time the six-pounder gun was fired again, and as usual, the "Dutchman" cannon was always fired quickly and accurately, and at a distance of only sixty paces or so, the six-pounder gun's shotgun showed astonishing lethality, although only two guns. But this round of shelling once again brought down seven or eight Qing soldiers, and on the other side, another group of "Dutch soldiers" was also rushing over in columns.

Although they lost their command, these Qing soldiers were also old soldiers, and they knew that they couldn't wait like this, so someone took the lead and shouted: "Brothers, rush!" ”

Those Manchu cavalry immediately urged their horses and pounced again. It's just that their horses are slower than they were just now.

At a distance of forty paces, the muskets of the Model Army fired a volley, and just as the Model Army fired, these Manchu cavalry jumped off their horses, which were not fast, and as a result, this round of shooting did not hit many Qing soldiers. Quite a few horses were killed.

The Qing soldiers who jumped to the ground rolled and then pounced on them with their long knives. Forty paces away from the charge was in the blink of an eye, and the flintlock pistol had a limited reload rate, and no matter how fast the model army moved, it was too late to fire a second shot.

"All bayonets!" Chang Le shouted.

All the fighters drew their bayonets and fastened them to the barrels of their guns.

"Blow the trumpet, charge!" Chang Le finally checked his bayonet and said to the trumpeter next to him.

A loud charge horn sounded, and the soldiers of the Model Army roared together and rushed towards the Qing soldiers in front.

……

Duo Long Ao could see that the "Dutchman" in front of him had received good training, speed, reaction, and strength were not bad, but he was seriously inexperienced, and the thrust he made to himself just now was too reckless, and as a result, he was stabbed in the air by his own shield sideways, but it showed a big flaw, and he was stabbed in the chest by himself.

Dolon Ao didn't choose the way to chop. Slashing requires a lot of force to cause big damage. Moreover, if the enemy has armor on his body, the effect of the slash is even more difficult to see. But thorns are different, most armor is difficult to defend against spikes, even heavy armor covered with iron plates. However, Doron Ao still underestimated the armor of the "Dutchman", and the tip of his knife stabbed on the armor of the "Dutchman" and only splashed a string of sparks, and then slid to the side. In order to ensure that the armor was pierced, Doron Ao used a lot of force, but he could not contain his strength, but was hit on the left shoulder by the Dutchman with the butt of his gun. The whole left hand could barely be lifted.

This guy, both of them have become jealous, and they have to be much more careful when attacking each other.

At this time, the situation of other people is not necessarily so good. It must be admitted that although the model army is well-trained, eats well in peacetime, and has excellent physical fitness, it is the first time that they have really faced the enemy face to face on the battlefield. However, the cuirass can only protect the torso, not enough for the legs, arms or something. (Adding armor to these areas greatly reduces mobility) The Warriors quickly discovered this, and the Model Army soldiers continued to suffer arm and leg injuries. If it weren't for the strict discipline and the sense of mission to fight for the nation, many people would probably have collapsed.

However, the situation on the Jian's side is not much better, although the armor on their bodies covers a larger area, but in terms of the defense of key parts, it is not as good as the model army. For example, even in the vital parts, the armor on their bodies could not block the thrust of the bayonet. Moreover, most of the armor on their bodies is so-called cotton armor, that is, armor with copper nails embedded in iron sheets on thick cotton jackets that have been repeatedly pressed and strengthened. This armor is much heavier than the cuirass of the model army, and more importantly, in terms of force, the weight of this armor is almost all pressed on the shoulders of the person, unlike the cuirass of the overall configuration of the model army, the entire weight is distributed to the entire torso to bear. Therefore, wearing cotton armor in combat should be more sluggish and more likely to fatigue.

Because of the more experienced fighting experience, and the difference in the number of the two sides is not too big, so in the confrontation, the injured Qing soldiers are less, but because of the three ridges. The bayonet can only stab, and the armor on the Qing soldiers can't block the bayonets anywhere, so when it comes to the number of seriously wounded and even direct deaths, there are a little more on the Qing soldiers' side.

"Brothers, our comrades-in-arms are about to rush over! When they come, none of these dog tartars will be able to escape! After knocking down a Qing soldier with the butt of a gun, Chang Lego shouted.

Following Chang Le, many people also shouted together.

The most important thing in hand-to-hand combat is morale. Many times, morale is even more important than equipment and skills. When the shouts of Chang Le and the others reached everyone's ears, it had an impact on the psychology of both parties. Of course, the morale of the model army was greatly boosted, but the people on the Manchu side also turned their heads from time to time to see if the other team of "Dutch" had really killed them.

The model army that was rushing over here was already very close, and the loud trumpet of the charge sounded. Although it would take them a little longer to arrive, the morale of the Qing soldiers was greatly damaged, and they began to turn and flee one after another.
