Chapter 65 Rushing into battle
Yu Hou, who led the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, was named Yang Jin, but he was a big man with a height of 1.9 meters, with a full beard, riding on a horse with a shoulder height of 1.8 meters, which made him even more powerful. He sat on his mount and looked at the five capitals that were waiting on the other side.
This is the opponent specially arranged by the commander of the army?
A disdainful smile appeared at the corner of Yang Jin's mouth.
If it is on the battlefield, even if it is complicated, no one dares to guarantee that it will be able to win. But on this school field, as far as the eye can see, there is a flat river, and you can't place horses and build fortifications, how can you have a team of firecrackers to deal with me, a horseman who has survived a hundred battles?
I heard that this Li Zhe is also a masterpiece, and he is very popular in the camp, but it's a pity, you Li Zhe want to take the first place in the big competition and be a blockbuster, but I, Yang Jin, why don't you want to.
Speaking of which, this is the first time that the Xiao Riding Battalion has appeared in the big competition, and the Xiao Riding Camp also wants to make a splash on this occasion? The cavalry of the cavalry battalion are all handsome in the army, all of them are tall and strong, and their crotches are full of incomparable horses, which brings people a visual impact on the big field, which is especially shocking!
When the cavalry of the cavalry battalion began to impact on the slow pace of the school field, the entire military camp was like an earthquake, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves rolled over the school field like rolling thunder.
The cavalry of only a hundred men ran out of the momentum of thousands of troops and horses.
The audience on the field was all taken by the momentum of the Xiao Riding Battalion.
Yang Jin, who was in the charge, looked at the four small cannons launched on the opposite side, and couldn't help laughing, just four small cannons wanted to stop the charge of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, it was ridiculous.
But he suddenly thought about it, and said, this Shangan Wang and his own generals are on it, in front of everyone's eyes, the Xiao cavalry battalion against the ordinary fire guns, it must be to win the beauty, most of these four small cannons are the idea of fighting, facing the dense charging formation of the Xiao cavalry battalion, causing heavy casualties to the Xiao cavalry battalion, so that the Xiao cavalry battalion is victorious is not glorious.
Thinking about this, Yang Jin smiled, everyone knows that the iron armor of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is invincible, but I am afraid that I don't know that the officers and soldiers of my Xiao Cavalry Battalion are not just a sharp arrow charge!
Now in the situation on the field, the Xiaocai battalion can completely rely on its mobile advantage to fight a beautiful encirclement battle.
Yang Jin had made up his mind, and made a few gestures on the horse, and when the flag officer of the Xiao cavalry battalion saw this, the big flag in his hand waved, and the formation of the Xiao cavalry battalion suddenly changed, from the dense arrow formation to a loose goose shape, the two wings opened, and the five horizontal formations lined up in two rows on the opposite side were wrapped.
Seeing this, Yang Wushu on the stage frowned and scolded secretly: Idiot! The ironclad cavalry of the Xiaocai battalion, which originally had the strongest impact, actually gave up the strongest dense charge and wanted a loose two-wing encirclement formation, didn't this give up the advantage of its own ironclad cavalry?
On the opposite side of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, Li Zhe and the others were nervous in the face of the charge of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion. I was nervous, and I saw the terrifying dense charging formation of the cavalry suddenly changing formation in the middle of the process, I don't know what it meant, but how could I let go of this kind of opportunity.
At this time, the enemy had already charged to a distance of five hundred meters, which was not yet the engagement distance, and there was still time to change formation.
Li Zhe was anxious, and ordered to go down continuously, and temporarily changed the team into a three-stage walking formation, and the remaining two squads quickly loaded bayonets and scattered on both sides.
It was too late, it was fast, in just a dozen seconds, the enemy had already rushed to a distance of two hundred meters, which was already the range of the artillery team's sub-artillery, Li Zhe ran to the artillery team to personally command,
"Put!"
With a terrible whistle, four sub-cannons fired intensively at the very center of the enemy's charge.
The lime loaded with the cannon barrel gushed out at once, covering the central part of the cavalry that had already rushed into a distance of one hundred and fifty meters!
The field suddenly flew sand and stones, the smoke was filled, and the center of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion formation was almost completely covered in a white mist, although the shells in the shells did not have iron projectiles, just countless small limestone "shells", but it was also terrifying to look at!
Fortunately, all the men and horses in the cavalry battalion were all in armor, so that there were no casualties, but this time the fire covered the shooting, and still let the dozens of horsemen in the middle, at least a dozen horsemen, almost all of them were hit by large white spots, according to the regulations in the exercise, this is to be hit, "seriously injured", if you go to the battlefield with real guns and live ammunition, this will definitely be "heavy casualties".
The "wounded" cavalry had to retreat one after another,
"Good!"
But after suffering such heavy casualties, Commander Yang Jin did not panic at all.
In the field battle, the cavalry is most afraid of the scattered shells of the close-range artillery, and now the four small cannons are fired at the same time, Li Zhe's side has no hole cards, what else can be used to deal with the cavalry that has rushed to the front.
You must know that Li Zhe's side does not have spearmen, but only a thin formation composed of strong and weak firecrackers, such a formation, such a close distance, the enemy is already all lambs to be slaughtered in Yang Jin's eyes.
"Rush!"
"Rush!"
Under the leadership of Yang Jin, the cavalry of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion quickly began to accelerate, started the final sprint, spread their two wings, and wrapped towards the small formation in the middle of Li Zhe.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhe's formation of firecrackers on the opposite side not only did not shrink under such a charge, but suddenly a sharp whistle sounded, and the three rows of firecrackers rushed out against the charge of the cavalry.
"Ready, put!"
The firecrackers of Wudu, while walking, hit and release, with the order, with a bang, a fog filled the front of the formation, and dozens of limestone projectiles sprayed out!
The cavalry of the cavalry battalion was in loose formation, and there were only thirty or forty people facing the Wudu fire guns head-on, and just now they were subjected to another burst of "shelling," and only about 20 people remained.
At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than 100 meters, only about 80 meters.
The first platoon of twenty limestone projectiles was not effective, and only less than two people were hit.
Yang Jin was relieved, and thought that there was something special about Wudu's formation, but it turned out to be nothing more than that.
Who knew that his heart was relieved here, and then the little three-stage array, almost instantly, the back row came out of the crowd, and with a bang, there was another volley, this time, not surprisingly, and then only a very short time later, the small fire array, another burst of white mist erupted, and it was the third salvo!
In just a dozen seconds, before the cavalry charge rushed to the front of Wudu's formation, the small phalanx had already shot out three rows of shots, which was extremely fast!
Yang Jin arranged a total of only 20 people in the cavalry battalion that charged frontally, and in these ten seconds, they had rushed into a distance of more than ten or twenty meters from Wudu, but that's all, the cavalry that charged head-on withstood three rounds of volleys from the firecrackers, one round was denser than the other, and the hit rate was higher than the other.
In the first round of eighty meters of distance, only two people were reduced, and in the second formation, there were five or six people retreating, and in this last round of platoon shooting, the remaining dozen horses, the remaining only five cavalry, the companions around them were killed and injured under the platoon gun shooting, only a few of them remained, but it was no longer possible to form an effective impact on the gun array of Wudu.
The charging cavalry, although terrifying, but on the way to charge, the cavalry's horses are also the best targets in the eyes of the firecrackers, the taller the horse, the more its huge size causes the hit rate to soar!
The three-stage platoon fire, just a three-stage volley of guns, made the frontal charging Xiao cavalry battalion almost all annihilated, and the frontal charge of the Xiao cavalry battalion was finished!
