068 The power of the Detonator

The salvo of the Swedish senior musketeers is not so easy to resist, but the formation of the cavalry charging formation is much looser than the infantry formation, and it is several times looser than the film and television dramas staged in later generations!

In order to shoot aesthetically, as many group performances as possible are pulled into the camera, and the cavalry actors will be allowed to run forward as far as possible in film and television dramas, but the cavalry who does this on the battlefield is tantamount to suicide!

It's not because I'm afraid of the intensive attack of the projection weapons on the opposite side, the main thing is that the speed of the cavalry is much faster than the infantry, and this speed is mentioned, under the effect of inertia, as long as it bumps and bumps, it is likely to cause some man-made tragedies, and the charging speed of the war horse galloping at full strength is not much slower than the normal driving speed of ordinary cars!

At such a fast speed, if the cavalry were to charge in a pile, it would not be outrageous to chase the rear or something......

Because of this, the traditional cavalry charge formation and even the light cavalry and hussars in the modern military system, the formation is very scattered, so as to minimize accidental injuries and trampling, and the cavalry in front is knocked down by the enemy's long-range weapons, there is also a certain reaction time to cross, to prevent the domino effect similar to a series of car accidents.

Cavalry being killed in a large area by projectile weapons can indeed delay the speed of the front, but it will not really cause the subsequent cavalry to trip all their heads, which can only happen to recruits who are not very equestrian......

However, it is precisely because of the loose formation of the charge formation that the traditional cavalry will be abused in the hedge when facing the modern cavalry corps that is more densely arranged in the wall.

It's a pity that the kind of wall cavalry has too high requirements for discipline, and it is difficult to do it without systematic long-term training, and the most important thing is that the requirements of the wall cavalry for each cavalry are that the group is higher than the individual, and strive to completely eliminate the bravery of all individual cavalrymen, and it is best to train each cavalry to be a well-behaved soldier like a robot......

It is conceivable that this kind of training method is such nonsense for the noble cavalry who are consciously noble!

Even if it is a nomadic cavalry, it is difficult to train into that kind of wall cavalry because of the loose habits developed since childhood, and the interesting thing is that the nomadic cavalry who are really skilled in horseback riding and equestrianism since childhood are rarely trained into a wall-type charging formation, and most of the rigid and elite wall-type modern cavalry are trained from scratch as a 'source of duty'.

However, the nomadic cavalry also has its own advantages, the only use of the modern wall cavalry is only to charge the formation, after they lose the formation, they can be easily 'played to death' in front of the traditional nomadic cavalry, and the personal riding skills and martial arts can not be compared with the group of nomadic cavalry who live on small horses.

This is the meaning of the existence of light cavalry and hussars, in addition to the frontal battlefield, light cavalry and hussars are more useful.

Of course, these thousands of noble cavalry charged, magnificent but the cross-section was very large, these noble cavalry with good riding skills could quickly gather in the center and level the infantry array before rushing into the infantry array!

Moreover, this loose charge formation also greatly reduced the lethality caused by musket volleys, and in the era of more than 200 years of queuing to shoot, melee cavalry has been used as the main force on the battlefield, because the cavalry charged in front of the musket volley, and the losses were not as great as imagined.

When these noble cavalry saw that there were 30 second goods who took the initiative to die in the enemy queue, even in the state of charging, the noble cavalry couldn't help but show a bit of ridicule on their faces.

This loose infantry was completely slaughtered in front of the rushing cavalry, and they couldn't even pull a cavalry on their backs!

The noble cavalry thought that the 30 soldiers who had voluntarily sent them to death could not slow them down at all.

The 30 self-detonators stood in front of the noble cavalry charging in a straight line, laughing like a nervous maniac, and if you looked closely, you would see that puffs of white smoke began to rise from their collars.

The noble cavalry didn't care about this detail, they used a very standard maneuver, and as they passed by the 30 crazy death-sending soldiers, the saber gently brushed through the fragile necks, bringing out a human head or a gushing blood spurt, and then ......

Boom Boom Boom ......

Although these self-explosive soldiers are not very normal, but the military literacy is still quite reliable, the system must be a high-quality product, 30 self-explosive soldiers exploded almost at the same time, just stuck at the moment when the noble cavalry slashed them, many self-explosive soldiers have been chopped to death, but the corpses are still as always blown to pieces, together with the surrounding noble cavalry went to hell......

30 self-detonating soldiers are like 30 black powder kegs detonating themselves, or in the noble cavalry charging queue, not only the noble cavalry adjacent to the self-detonating soldiers directly ascended to the sky, but also the charging speed of those noble cavalry who are far away is also stopped, this is a powder keg explosion at close range!

Even if people can tolerate it, but what about horses?

Many war horses stood up in an instant, throwing out the cavalry friends on their bodies, and even many of the war horses' eardrums were shattered, running and running directly kneeling on the ground, and there was a beautiful 'overturn' plus the 'drift' of the noble cavalry's life, kicking up tons of dust all the way......

It can be said that the 30 self-detonating soldiers made the noble cavalry in the charge suddenly stop as a whole, and the noble cavalry that was not affected behind had to tighten their horses to slow down and change direction in order not to 'chase the tail', and there were too many corpses in front of them, and they couldn't jump over at all.

Just when the aristocratic cavalry was blown up by 30 self-explosive soldiers and lost their charging speed, the Swedish senior musketeers calmly and experienced volleys arrived as scheduled, and the closest distance between the two sides was not even 30 meters at this time, which could fully exert the lethality of the flintlock pistol.

As a result, the aristocratic cavalry who had to slow down, like a huge meat target, glared angrily at the Swedish senior musketeers who were not in the slightest mess and fired into a column of lead bullets!

The Rostov commander looked at what happened to the noble cavalry and muttered to himself dumbfounded: "This is not a war, this is a massacre......"

On the battlefield filled with gunsmoke and blood, the morale accumulated by the noble cavalry has long since dissipated, and the remaining noble cavalry has only one thought in their hearts, to leave this hell that is constantly washed by lead bullets as quickly as possible!

The aristocratic cavalry was defeated, defeated without temper, or even without resistance, and did not even touch the side of the Swedish senior musketeers, and thousands of noble cavalry escaped less than 300 men and horses in the row of guns of the Swedish senior musketeers beating the water dogs.

Gustav naturally did not want to waste this opportunity, and he did not hesitate to order the entire team of Swedish veteran musketeers to drive to the battlefield!
