Chapter Ninety-Two: Strengthening the Army
How can the previous time when facing the cavalry battalion on the school field be compared to this time, the entire artillery, the platoon, and the continuous blow, the power is really as if hell has come to the world.
The cavalry of the Mongols rushing in front was almost completely cut off, and the dead bodies of men and horses were intertwined and mixed together, and all of them fell to the ground in an instant.
The speed of the enemy's iron cavalry that finally charged up was so fast that there was no time to avoid it in a hurry, even the Mongols, who were known to be excellent in horsemanship, and all at once it was as if the weight of the whole horse of several hundred kilograms was all smashed on him, so the row behind him also suffered heavy losses.
Li Zhe looked at the past from the high platform, the scene in front of the battle was comparable to the tragic car accident scene in the blockbuster of the later generations, it was really a person on his back, a large stream of blood gushed out, and the river valley less than a few dozen meters in front of the battle became a pool of blood, and the dead bodies of those people and horses with broken bones fell in a pool of blood in a strange posture, and the terrible screams sounded together, and the picture was extremely tragic.
The men and horses who died at once were gone, but there were still many wounded who lay in a pool of blood, which was really painful, and each of them struggled with all his strength in the pool of blood, trying to let out a hoarse howl.
In later movies, the scene of the car accident was said to be nothing more than a few dozen cars, but what appeared in front of the battle at this moment was hundreds of galloping horses at high speed colliding together.
That scene, tsk, is really a simple one.
When the Mongolian cavalry behind finally slowed down their horses and avoided this earth-shattering chain of collisions, how could Ma Zhong, who was commanding in front of the Song army, be willing to let them go.
In the previous exercise, Ma Zhong already knew that the heavy cavalry that slowed down was really a live target in front of the Song army's platoon formation, how could he let go of such a good opportunity at this time, the opportunity was fleeting, and Ma Zhong almost ordered his subordinates to turn to defense and attack at the fastest speed. Song Jun's gunners beat the drum and pressed it all on.
During the march, the second platoon quickly crossed the first row of musketeers who had just fired a salvo, and the end arms of the brushes were brushed, and the guns were armed, and with a bang, it was another hearty salvo.
Less than thirty meters in front, the Mongolian elite horsemen, who were crowded into a small space by the dead bodies of people and horses, once again fell in large pieces. It was like an invisible giant scythe slashing at the formation of the cavalry.
The guns used by the Song army in this era were absolutely different from the small-caliber rifles of later generations.
Later generations of firearms have been constantly reducing the caliber and reducing the lethality of bullets to the human body, but the caliber of muskets in this era is generally more than 15mm, which is much larger than the caliber of 12.7mm heavy machine guns in later generations.
No armor can be worn by a human being at close range.
This time, the Mongolian heavy cavalry that charged violently was completely defeated, and suddenly they were trapped in place, almost not knowing how to continue.
The original leader had already been in the bombardment of the front, and the rest of the people, some of them were in a hurry to escape, and some of them wanted to rush to the front of the Song army again and fight hard, and the entire cavalry rushed up by the Mongols was rushing and colliding in a mess.
At this moment, this situation is a good opportunity for the line infantry to shoot in a row, the entire three rows of firecrackers are completely dominated by the battlefield at this moment, the soldiers are more and more energetic, and the movements in their hands are getting faster and faster, in just a short period of time, the Mongols have not had time to escape a few, and the firecrackers have been rapidly rotated, and six rounds of volleys have been output in succession.
The bullets fired were like a storm, and in an instant, they swept over the Mongolian iron cavalry thirty meters away in front of the formation, and at this moment, these unlucky Mongolian cavalry completely became the target of the line infantry to show their might!
Six rounds of guns have been fired, and the firecrackers have rushed through the original position, to the original position of the Mongol forward, and then look at the Mongols' side, scattered and scattered, there are few Mongolian cavalry who can stand up, except for some lucky ones who saw the opportunity and turned the horse's head at the fastest speed to escape, the remaining seven or eight hundred Mongolian elite cavalry died extremely aggrieved, and all fell in this short distance of tens of meters in the river valley.
In front of the Song army, the corpses of men and horses were piled up, and the charge of the Mongolian elite cavalry was completely wiped out at this moment!
In just a few minutes, nearly a thousand men and horses fell under the terrible fire of the line infantry.
Both sides, whether they are Mongols or Song people, are all confused at the moment. No one could have imagined that this battle could be fought like this, and no one could have imagined that after changing to a new type of firearm, this loose line infantry formation that Li Zhe had drummed out would be so terrifying.
With the addition of guns and fast guns, the efficiency of harvesting human lives is so efficient!
This is not the same as the Song Army's original firearm phalanx.
The original phalanx, although it was guarded like a mountain, was quite weak in attack, the proportion of firecrackers in the phalanx was too small, and the artillery could not be effectively used, how could it be compared with Li Zhe, a real all-firearms army.
This is the progress of the times, this is the beginning of the power of science and technology industry!
After the leader of the private army behind him woke up, his eyes suddenly lit up! The combat effectiveness of these two battalions is so terrifying, in the face of the charge of a thousand heavy cavalry, it is only a moment of effort to wipe out all of them, so at this moment, the total of 10,000 enemy troops on the opposite side is only a little more time?
You must know that the second battalion just now, but with the strength of only 500 people, played such an efficient role, so if you add the big guys to go into battle together, then what is there to be afraid of the enemy army now.
The problem of being outnumbered by the big guys that the big guy had been worried about before suddenly became less important at this moment.
The extra thousands of enemies are just a few more bullets, and even the enemy's heavy cavalry can't rush through this terrible strange formation just now, so the remaining light cavalry, is there any strange trick that can't be done?
All three private armies became eager to try.
Olgrad, like his men, was stupid and watched the whole battle in front of him, and he didn't turn back for a long time.
A thousand heavy cavalry, a thousand heavy cavalry! That was already the family foundation he had saved up with great difficulty, and it was killed like this like chopping melons and vegetables.
What kind of terrible weapons and spells did the Song army make, such a powerful heavy cavalry, in front of the enemy's formation, did not even survive a cup of tea.
He was also watching the battle with a telescope here, and he felt that he hadn't seen what was going on at all, and his 1,000 heavy cavalry had been killed like rolling soup and pouring snow.
The Song army in front of him no longer looked like a tactic, it was completely like some kind of terrifying spell, just like his childhood impression of the living Buddha shaman from the Great Snow Mountain casting a magical spell in front of him.
What to do?
It completely surpassed his many years of combat experience in the army, beyond the scope of normal war in his mind, and over the years, he had not fought with the elite troops of the Song army, but although the performance of the Song army in those battles was also strong, the image given to him was not at all like today.
Such an enemy, such an army with terrible killing efficiency, has absolutely no idea how to face it.
It's a battle, it's a withdrawal!
Orgrad is a bit of a circle,
Just when Olgrad himself was still nervously thinking about how to make a decision, the panicked voice of his own general suddenly came to his ears!
"Quick, look, that Song army! It's coming, they're going to attack! ”
Olgrad woke up with a sudden startle and hurriedly looked ahead.
The golden drums in front of them sounded in unison, accompanied by the sound of horns, and the terrible Song army just now, stepping on the rhythmic drums, pressed over to this side like a sea of mountains.
