Chapter 131: The Car Formation

The galloping horse team gathered quite closely, the horse thieves did not use bows and arrows, so that the flying archery was only skillfully used by the Mongols, there were a small number of Mongols among the horse thieves, but the number was too small, the form was not a threat, and the combat power was pulled down, everyone exercised and got the weapons in their hands, there were spears and iron spears, there were also long knives and waist knives of the Ming army, most of them were inferior weapons made by themselves, there was a lack of iron on the grassland, and those Mongolian nobles did not have enough iron to make weapons and armor, not to mention horse thieves.

The arrows of the dart masters flew quickly, and most of them missed, although Duo'er and Sun Jingting and others were all marksmen, it was still too difficult to shoot at high-speed moving targets.

Only two arrows hit the horse, and one arrow hit the horse's head, and the horse immediately pounced forward, throwing the master more than a dozen paces away, and the horse thief didn't even snort, and was killed directly.

Another arrow struck the horse's belly, and the horse was in pain, and suddenly stopped, and jumped in place, and the rider on horseback fell to the ground from the horse's neck, and his feet were still in the stirrups, and the horse kept dragging on the ground, bringing with him a stream of dust under the grass, and most of the man could not live.

The advantage of shooting a horse is here, when the cavalry charges, it is really difficult to shoot the human body with an arrow, the target of the horse is much larger, once the horse is shot at high speed, the person on the horseback is useless no matter how good the riding skills are, and it will be seriously injured or killed in an instant.

At this time, the second round of arrows was shot, Sun Jingting aimed at a horse thief galloping in front, an arrow was shot, his eyes followed the arrow, and saw the iron feather shot into the horse's chest, the man rushed to the ground with the horse, he nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his right hand in the pocket, and the second arrow was wound again.

From more than a hundred steps to eighty steps, it is just enough to shoot two rounds of arrows, which is fast enough.

Five horse thieves were shot at the horses, four died on the spot, and one was dragged away by the wounded horse, making a loud wail and scream, and the galloping of the horses could not be covered.

At this time, Liang Xing raised his hand, calculating that the distance was close enough, and the twenty-four firearms were raised, aiming at the rushing enemy.

"First column, shoot!"

As soon as the horse thief entered the distance, Liang Xing immediately ordered, and he himself raised his gun to aim, and then pulled the trigger.

Each person's powder jar and primer jar are open, the leather belt around the waist is tied to the cowhide projectile box, the medicine, the pill, the rod is compacted, the tinder jar is blown off, the fire rope is lit, and the faucet clamp is clamped, after the trigger is pulled, the fire rope ignites the primer, the primer ignites the propellant, and when the ejection burns, the gun body suddenly shakes back, and the lead shot weighing three coins shoots out, and the gun tube emits fire, sparks splash everywhere, and then white smoke rises upwards, and the first column of twelve people is finished, no one looks at what is happening in front of them, and quickly retreats from the gap, and then begins to charge.

These firecrackers have been training in the fort for a long time, more than half a year Wang Debang made a total of more than 20 firecrackers, this is still the result of Zhang Han ordered to put down other work to make firecrackers before the stopper, before the trip, Liang Xing and Wang Changfu and others also selected candidates with excellent standards in all aspects, although they faced the threat of life and death at this time, the people in the first column did not panic after the release, although the hands and feet were much slower than usual, after all, there was no mistake in the busy, Zhang Han reminded the easy mistakes on the battlefield, For example, stuffing more than a dozen projectiles into the barrel, there is no such problem after all.

Zhang Han himself was in the middle of the second column, he was lying in the gap between the carts and stretched out the guns, and more than a dozen guns were placed not far from him, these guns gave people a great sense of reassurance, as if there was unparalleled power hidden in the black tubes.

Although there was a huge disparity in the battle this time, Zhang Han didn't have too much panic in his heart.

The last time he suppressed the bandits, he almost grabbed the horse and fled, although it was Wang Changfu who told him to run, but Zhang Han did not refuse, he was indeed afraid at that time, and later he was much calmer when he was assassinated in Lingqiu, and the last time he was assassinated in Xinpingbao, he had already dared to carry a knife and people to fight to the death, and he was injured as if nothing happened.

Some people are naturally bold, and some people are not timid, but they are used to living a peaceful and stable life, and they are unwilling to risk their lives. Most people's courage can be trained, the cowards in life will become decisive veterans who have been on the battlefield a few times, Zhang Han has risked his life many times, and he usually holds great power, more than 1,000 people listen to his orders to act, Weifu is independent, plus the experience of two lives, although the scene in front of him is dangerous, he can no longer be moved or afraid.

The fire gun in his hand is also the biggest reliance, the fight is far and steady, the projectile does not float within 100 steps, and the three-inch thick wooden board can be broken within 80 hours, the gun pipe is thick and powerful, and the various parts are very well made, holding such a weapon in hand, people seem to have increased a lot of strength, and it seems that they can control the life and death of people.

The smoke suddenly cleared, and Zhang Han had already seen the situation opposite.

The first round is to hit the horse thief in the middle of the thick place, the horse thief is very open, the two wings are forward, the two wings of the dart division are archers, just shot the two wings of the horse thief, now the archers have been on the horse, ready to fight with the enemy in close combat, the middle is the main force of the horse thief, the queue is very thick, the distance is within 100 steps, each person's fire gun is also good, all kinds of effects are superimposed, after the first round of fighting, the dead people on the ground in the middle are lying several, and two horses were shot, half lying on the ground, and there are still people under the body, Both men and horses made miserable screams, and the sounds of horses were much more terrible than human screams, and they were simply mental torture to people.

The horse thieves' horse team was already a little chaotic, there was an ownerless war horse running around in the team, disrupting the formation of the horse thieves, they had no way to maintain a relatively parallel array, some people rushed forward, some people were behind, and some people ran far away, and they couldn't tell whether they were in the middle or the flank direction.

"Second column, shoot!"

I didn't have to wait too long, in fact, it was just a few breaths, and the bangs sounded one after another, and the projectiles from the second column fell like a torrential rain in the main formation of horse thieves.

Zhang Han glanced back when he turned around, and the second column of twelve guns also had at least five or six people, and this time a few more ownerless war horses began to run around, and the queue of horse thieves was even more chaotic.

The first column was not fully loaded at this time, but the two columns still changed their positions, Zhang Han first took out the scepter, cleaned up the barrel with the remnants of gunpowder, then bit open the paper shell, put in the projectile, and then put in the projectile, and then compacted it with the cane, at this time the first column of the fire gun fired again, and there was a burst of neighing on the horse's back on the opposite side, followed by the miserable howl of a person when he was dying or seriously injured, the first wounded horse was not dead, and the neighing was even more fierce, which made people upset when they heard it.

At this time, Zhang Han estimated that the horse thief was no more than forty steps away from the car formation, and the fire gun should rush to the front again, he didn't have any more ideas, the three cars were all large four-wheeled carriages, and the body was as light as possible, but the board of the compartment wall was carefully restructured, thick, hard, and there were perforations, and after a while, the horse thieves rushed over, someone would enter the carriage to shoot, and there were also large cards in the gap between the carriages, which was with Qi Ji Optics, the gap was blocked by the cards, and the shooter continued to shoot under the cover of the card inserter.

Although the entire chariot formation is small, there are very few horse thieves, and it is impossible for more than 20 well-made and well-trained firecrackers to break the formation in such a chariot formation.

It's just that the place is a bit small, and you have to put more than a dozen people outside, which is also a dangerous place, so it is Wang Duoer and the Zhao family brothers and others who are the best in the outside.

After a few more breaths, Zhang Han finished loading, and the rest of the firecrackers were also reloaded, Zhang Han was not the leader of the team, they returned to the firing position under the command of the team leader, and the first column had turned back and reloaded.

At this time, the battlefield was already shocking, several dead horses were left behind, several horses were seriously frightened, running around, several horses were wounded, their stomachs were flowing all over the ground, lying on the ground and wailing, more than a dozen people were shot and fell, and there were very few wounded, only three or four, lying or lying on the ground, screaming and moaning.

Pools of blood flowed on the ground, first a striking red, and then a few minutes later, black, with obvious stumps on the ground, and a lot of human and horse intestines flowed out, looking green.

No one vomited, and all they brought out were old people who had killed people or seen blood, and they adapted well on the battlefield.

At this time, the horse team had rushed to within thirty steps, Zhang Han almost didn't need to aim, the people and horses together had a particularly large target, and everyone felt the pressure, as if the horse and the people were running for themselves, and the knives and guns in the hands of those people were also going to cut at themselves, but fortunately, there was a solid cart in front of him as a barrier, and then Zhang Han understood why Qi Jiguang was in the defense system of Jizhen, and the car formation was the core part.

Including Yu Dayou, the famous generals in the early days of Wanli first dealt with the Japanese and then against the captives, and the battle methods of the car formation were the top priority.

The farming people have developed firearms, and the car camp is indeed the best choice.

As for the crooked path taken by the Ming army on the battlefield in Liaodong, it can't actually be counted.

"Bang!"

This time the salvo was almost empty!

Twelve firearms, and it is a salvo of the powerful Lumi gun within thirty paces at close range, almost the same feeling as a gun pointing at the nose, fifty steps is the best firing distance of the firecracker at that time, although thirty steps is a cavalry, it is still a very high hit rate, more than a dozen people or horses are hit, horses fall, people fall, blood rain sprinkled in the air, screams again and again, this round of volleys, almost the remnants of the horse thief's morale, all crossed!

Han Lao Liu hit a gun, at the beginning he really didn't take the gun to heart, Jizhen Daming border army has a lot of guns, each battalion has a large number of guns, horse thieves will often disturb the side, and the Ming border army also has a lot of encounters, what they are afraid of is the Ming general's personal cavalry, as well as those strong night not to collect, as for the fire gunners, they really don't care.
