Chapter 131: Dare to be the first
In the end, the characters who have stayed in the Denglai official army do not rush randomly, and dozens of horses are lined up in a row, controlling the speed of the horses, although the queue is not neat, but the power will definitely not be less.
The Jiaozhou battalion on the opposite side had already stopped, and it seemed that it was going to line up to resist the impact of the cavalry, and no one in the Peng family and the horse thieves believed that the other party would be able to resist, and felt that the officers and soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion would not be stronger than their own foot soldiers, and they would definitely be crushed and defeated.
The shouting and shouting became louder and louder, and the cavalry charge was the most exciting, thinking about the countless money, and maybe there were women, everyone was shouting and fighting their horses desperately, and when they were about seventy paces, they began to sprint, and pressed over in a chaotic manner.
Sure enough, the soldiers in the first platoon of the Jiaozhou battalion couldn't support the pressure and ran to both sides.
It's just that this run is too neat, divided into two teams and ran to both sides, and the pace was calm.
Thirty paces, the soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion in the second row could already see clearly, dozens of thick firearms had been erected, the black muzzle was facing them, and the primer of the medicine pool began to burn......
"Boom!" There was a loud bang.
Up to now, after Guo Dong's blacksmith shop finished making light armor, he has gone all out to make firecrackers, and it has not been seventy strokes until now.
Li Meng also knew that this round of fire would have a huge effect if it formed alternating firepower, but the problem was that the movements of his soldiers were not yet so proficient, so they simply fired a salvo on the battlefield, so that although they hindered the opponent's offensive, they could not form a coherent effect.
But the damage inflicted in this instant was staggering......
Peng Kui, who rushed to the front with a big sword, has been famous for his courage since he was a child, and when he was a soldier in Dengzhou, he also relied on bravery and martial arts to get a general position.
In fact, Peng Kui has done a very successful job, and if his current power continues to develop like this, no matter which side surrenders in the future, he will be treated quite well.
However, at this moment, Peng Kui, the tycoon of Laizhou Mansion, only had time to scold: "X's!" ”
At least there are three firecrackers aimed at Peng Kui, who is the leader, this kind of thick firecracker made according to Li Meng's requirements is not very convenient, if you want to launch, you must use a wooden fork to frame the gun tube in front, but the impulse emitted by this kind of rough benzene firearm is also very large.
Several Peng uncles and brothers who followed behind Peng Kui, after hearing a loud noise, only felt that they were drenched in wet and sticky paste, and half of Peng Kui's body in front of him was gone, and the Peng family was rampant in the Denglai area, and had always had a reputation for being extremely vicious, and the direct men of the Peng family had killed no less than double digits, and they could be regarded as having seen blood.
But his face and body were covered with the flesh and blood of his leader, and his ears were already so shaken by the sudden explosion that he couldn't hear anything.
Someone's spirit collapsed in an instant, and he threw away his weapon on the horse and yelled, the horse that lost control would not move forward, not to mention the horse that was frightened by the continuous noise and smoke just now, and the horse team that rushed over immediately became chaotic.
As a matter of fact, the salvo of 50 muskets just now made a blank in the vanguard of the more than 500 horse teams, and for horses that were not accustomed to running and charging in a firearm firing environment, even if they were not hit, they jumped and ran around at that time after the firearms were fired.
It was in the midst of a high-speed charge, the consequences of the horse's mania were catastrophic, the horses in the third row and the second row threw the knight on their backs down, and suddenly the horse's legs weakened and fell directly to the ground, and the knights behind desperately pulled the horses to slow down or turn, which was a new wave of chaos.
Of course, the density of fire with fifty firearms was limited after all, and there were still seven or eight horses rushing forward, but the chivalry on the horses had almost collapsed, and in the face of the spear formation that seemed to be like steel thorns, the end was to be pierced into a sieve hole.
According to the rules of engagement, when everything began to be prepared, Li Meng's spear stood in the fourth column of the team, looking at the situation after the fire shot, as a battlefield commander, he was actually stunned.
This is a battle on a large scale, and the application of firearms has such power, and in modern experience and impressions, the waves of gunpowder and steel poured into each other, but they did not produce any decisive results, but today the volley of firearms has such an effect, it is really incredible.
When Li Meng ordered the blacksmiths to build a suitable firearm, he just felt that it was an indispensable long-range weapon in battle, and did not think too seriously of it.
But he didn't want to think about how these horse thieves in the countryside had seen such firearms, how they had seen such power, a volley, the sky and the earth were shattered, flesh and blood were flying, and there were people who could restrain horses, which was already quite a good calming mind.
Chen Liu and Wang Hai, who were standing at the front of the team, were also a little dazed, but they were not as calm as the firecrackers around them, who had already withdrawn to the back of the queue to reload their ammunition, and the formation of the Jiaozhou battalion was so awkwardly still for a while.
The first to react was Li Meng, who cleared his throat and shouted:
"The goal is ahead, go forward!"
The soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion also woke up from the shock of the firecracker shooting, and the effect of such a powerful force on their own side was to boost their morale.
The horses gathered by Peng Kui were even more unbearable than the stunned Jiaozhou battalion, and many knights who were good at equestrianism could no longer control the horses, and the formation was still chaotic and abnormal. The soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion over there had already rushed over under Li Meng's orders.
The ground was full of messy corpses of men and horses, and there were also some horse thieves and strong men who fell to the ground and were injured but not dead, they looked at the soldiers who stepped over, and they had luck in their hearts, thinking that the other party's weapon was a spear, and if the formation was not disordered, the spear would definitely not be used to pierce the people on the ground, which was extremely inconvenient.
Some of the diehards tried to attack with the weapon, but then they despaired, and the Jiaozhou battalion also had short thorns at the end of the wooden handle of the spear. To deal with the enemy who was not dead on the ground, the soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion did not need to flip their spears at all, they only needed to pause fiercely.
Because of the obstacles on the ground, the speed of the Jiaozhou battalion's infantry array was not fast, but where they passed, there was no living person left.
In addition to the rout and the dead and wounded, there are actually more than 300 horsemen gathered, but don't think about the impact, the two sides are face-to-face hand-to-hand combat, the cavalry at this time is just riding on horses, a little higher, easy to move, even inferior to foot soldiers.
To put it bluntly, the current cavalry is a meat target on horseback, not to mention that the number of foot soldiers in the Jiaozhou battalion far exceeds them, and it is no longer necessary to maintain a strict formation at present, Li Meng's soldiers surround the horse in groups of three or five, holding spears and stabbing them.
Li Meng followed the most people, there were twelve, for the generals, naturally there could be no mistakes, but at most they were for Li Meng to resist the sneak attacks and plots around him, and Li Meng, the Jiaozhou garrison, showed them what a standard assassination action was.
Looking at the horse thief in front of him, he was the bravest of these horses and grass thieves today, the Pu knife in his hand was like a windmill, and his riding skills were very high, he didn't need to control the reins with his hands, and he could control the direction by relying on the swing of his legs and body, and he actually let him cut down two soldiers.
The brave horse thief also saw that Li Meng was the leader, and after killing two groups of soldiers, he rushed towards Li Meng's side.
Li Meng's position was to stand at the front of the front, watching someone rushing towards him, and the personal guards around him were all coming to guard, but they were all long weapons in their hands, and it was not convenient to turn, Li Meng shouted:
"Get out of the way."
The soldiers subconsciously obeyed the order and moved up to this side, but immediately after this action was made, they felt that it was wrong, and the horse thief was already brandishing a sword and rushing over.
This is hand-to-hand combat, Li Meng felt very excited in his heart, the rate of breathing slightly accelerated, but it was still very stable, the spear in his hand, the end of the spear handle in his right hand, the front end in his left hand, his arms were adducted, and the spear was pointed obliquely upward, Li Meng's head was raised, his eyes were staring at the tip of the spear and the enemy who was rushing.
The Pu knife in the hand of the horse thief was raised high, his eyes were fixed on Li Meng in front of him, and he slashed him, and these officers and soldiers collapsed. He could even see Li Meng's calm and indifferent face.
Suddenly, looking at the eyes of the leader of the officers and soldiers, he shouted angrily:
"Kill!"
So suddenly, the horse thief, who was shocked, couldn't help but shake off his horse, and before he could react, there was a sudden coldness in his throat, followed by a sharp pain.
Assassination is to pay attention to the instantaneous explosion and accuracy, Li Meng's personal soldiers looked at their own adults were as steady as Mount Tai at first, but when they exerted their strength, they were as fast as lightning, only to see that the spear sank into the throat of the horse thief.
Although it was a short distance, the horse could not charge, but the horse had a great force forward, Li Meng was so hard to face to face, not to mention the pain in his arms, and his chest was also stuffy, but with such a mistake, the horse continued to rush forward, but the horse thief was forcibly picked out of the mount, and the spear handle of the entire ash pole was bowed up, and it was hung on the tip of the spear.
Li Meng's spear is made by the craftsmen of Liaodong, this is the one who can provoke such a person but does not break, the foot soldier against the knight, but he assassinates the other party with a spear, and provokes the other party, this is really heroic. Li Meng just held it for more than ten seconds and put it down.
The soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion who saw this scene were all in high morale, shouting in unison on the battlefield, and killing the enemy in front of them......
