The observation sentry on the hot air balloon saw that the opponent's iron cavalry had been divided into four teams during the march, and they began to impact the barbed wire fence on their side from 500 meters away------ and what was even more terrifying was that the opponent really had rockets, and they were arranging positions there!

Their message arrived below, but they saw that their rocket troops were still only on standby!

Both of them were a little anxious, although they had also experienced two big victories, but in the face of this big scene, they were really a little weak-hearted.

They could see very clearly from an altitude of 200 meters that the Tatar army was by no means a scattered army, and that more than 200,000 of them were neatly arranged in several square formations, stretching for several kilometers!

Everyone on the battlefield also saw the hot air balloon in the sky, and these Tatar bandits who had been through countless wars immediately understood the usefulness of the object!

Commander Bo Yan had already seen it clearly, and he thought, these Liuqiu pirates really have a way, they can actually make such a big Kong Ming lantern!

When the time comes, the craftsman who captured them will be sure to keep it well, and this thing will be of great use on the battlefield.

Almost every Tatar robber had the feeling of being looked down upon from a high place------ only the civilians who flashed to the side, looking up numbly and expressionlessly.

Commander Boyan felt that this war was not a war he was familiar with, and he could only use his carefully studied methods to pacify this place.

He dared to conclude that the reason why the pirates, who numbered no more than 50,000 pirates, had the impudence to refuse his several peace talks was nothing more than their fortresses and firearms.

If you defeat them in these two, those people will collapse of their own accord!

From here to the sea, there is a plain, and those who break up will be a living target for the light cavalry!

Therefore, the hoplites are not important, so let's use them as hammers first------

The banner around Commander Boyan was constantly shaking, and one order after another was issued!

His position was about eight hundred meters away from the position of the Liuqiu pirates, which was a safe area that he could understand-------

Nearly two thousand hoplites galloped with astonishing momentum, and the whole earth seemed to tremble at the sound of rumbling horses' hooves!

As they ran, the four heavily armed cavalry teams were still adjusting their direction from time to time, and they did so to prevent the pirates' artillery, which the commander Boyan had come up with by studying his own artillery, which he thought was too heavy to easily move.

He gave this heavy cavalry team a death rule, and those who left the battlefield died!

Even if he is killed, the horse's head will be directed at the enemy!!

But how could he understand the war in the age of firearms?!

Captain Bao Wei is also on the front line, he sees the enemy's impact like the front line commander who commands the artillery, and he is calculating the enemy's distance, but the front line command is not with him, he only wants to control long-range weapons!

When the four iron cavalry reached about 100 meters, the front-line commander shouted: "Waste!! ”

A sharp whistle suddenly blew on the position, and almost at the same time, dozens of "waste" sounds also came to mind!

The entire front erupted almost simultaneously, and at the same time a puff of white smoke came out!

Boom Boom!

With the naked eye, countless shotguns were shooting towards the four teams of hoplites!

The armor of the so-called hoplites had no protective effect under the blows of scattered bullets, and hundreds of hoplites fell with the sound, and some even broke and disintegrated directly with men and horses!

Under the effect of inertia, the carcasses of the hoplites and their horses still rolled forward on the ground!

Hearing the sound of artillery, the commander Boyan did not look at his losses, and immediately ordered the light cavalry to attack!

He knew that it would take time for the artillery to be fired again! His four-wheeled carriage is still slow!!

Captain Bowie was taken aback when he received the news of the signalman on the hot air balloon!

Is this tartar crazy? It's all cavalry?! And what about their armored carriages?!

Captain Bao Wei didn't wait any longer, he also immediately ordered the rocket troops to launch immediately, and first concentrate on hitting the opponent's rocket position!

The signalman released a message saying that their rocket positions had not yet been arranged.

Some of the remaining hoplites tripped over their teammates who fell to the ground, while others deftly dodged, and their momentum remained unabated!

At this moment, the red-eyed hoplites saw a series of sparks jumping behind the breastwork of the sack, and the bullets fired by the three thousand five hundred soldiers of the Guards were like a rain of bullets!

Bang Bang Bang!

Within less than 100 meters, the hoplites took another round of blows!

Lead bullets are by no means as lethal as cannon shots, but, again, no armor can stop them, a platoon of hoplites fell in unison------ the hoplites behind saw it, and a long line of people stood directly behind the chest wall of the sack, and they held the fire flat, and a series of sparks flashed------

When the third spark flashed, only a few dozen hoplites were left to hit the barbed wire------ and the huge price was not in vain, they made the whole barbed wire have several holes, and in some places completely overwhelmed!

Some of the hoplites even rolled down into the barbed wire, and they were simply shot and killed.

But their huge price gave tens of thousands of light cavalry some chances, and they had already begun to speed up, but the artillery of the Liuqiu Guard was not yet ready, and some of the light cavalry drew their steel swords, and some drew their bows and arrows, and they felt that their opportunity had come!

Don't blame the artillerymen for moving slowly, now the development on the battlefield is measured in seconds!

At this time, the light cavalry who were shocking heard countless "sizzle" sounds, and saw countless rockets rising from the sky, and they drew countless black lines------ which was a spectacular sight they had never seen before!

In fact, the Tatar robbers have also heard about the pirates begging for rockets, and some think that is more than that, because their barracks are also equipped with them!

Some were a little scared------ but the commander Boyan smiled and asked those who had concerns: "Do you see that there are more birds in the sky, or are there more rockets?" ”

Of course, there are a lot of birds!

Commander Boyan asked again, "Then have you ever been drenched in bird droppings?" ”

Never.

The man suddenly figured out that the rocket was not an ordinary thing, where could it hit people at will?!

Well, this analogy, which has no logic at all, really reassures quite a few people and arouses their courage-------

But they were terrified to see the rockets that were speeding over their heads, perhaps more than the birds!

The production method of hand-made rocket metal shells cannot be understood in any case, and the output of the two processes cannot be compared at all-------

Even more terrifying was the ensuing explosion------- and in the rear, where they could not see, there was a group of people who were quickly installing fuses on the rockets, and those that had been installed in advance were quickly loaded onto the launchers!
