Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Little Try
Qi Jiguang swept across the sea for more than ten years, relying on the famous mandarin duck array. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is extremely important to have a method, but it is more important to see who implements it. Obligors who have become soldiers can hardly find fault in their execution.
Zhu Houzhao, who was hiding on a small forehead breakthrough to watch the battle, soon heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, although the cavalry of 300 people was not too many, but the momentum when running wild was comparable to the steamer car racing on the railway.
"My lord, although the woods can slow down the cavalry to a certain extent, your soldiers are only armed with firearms, and once they are approached, I am afraid that they will not even have a chance to escape." Yu Dayou immediately became nervous when he heard the sound of horses' hooves.
Yu Dayou is also a very talented person in military affairs, although he is still only a small hundred, but in terms of knowledge, he is no longer as good as other veteran officers who have been in the army for many years. Whether it is the detailed content written in the war book or the actual combat experience of thousands of years, it is clear that if the infantry wants to defeat the cavalry, there is no other way than to have three to five times the number of troops, but this level is not enough to completely annihilate the cavalry.
As long as people want to run, the two-legged one will never have the opportunity to run over the four-legged one.
So in Yu Dayou's understanding, even if there is a fire gun. Five hundred foot soldiers were not enough to compete with three hundred cavalry.
"Yu Dayou, you are watching here, I have always had full confidence in the troops I have trained!" Zhu Houzhao also has no bottom in his heart, but he still prefers to believe that an inch is long and an inch is strong.
A team of three hundred horses quickly rushed into view. But Liu Dafu's troops did not make the slightest sound, let alone shout loudly to strengthen their prestige.
Silence, silence, no longer perish in silence, explode in silence!
Seeing that the Tatar cavalry rushed to a distance of three hundred paces from the position, Liu Dafu pursed his lips and let out a sharp whistle, and the more than 200 people of the front team who had scattered in all directions immediately showed their heads from behind the bunker according to the usual training procedures, and the bird guns in their hands were already ready.
Under Tang Fei's all-out research and modification, he finally came up with a flintlock-style bird gun.
So when the first wave of people came into range, the first hundred firearms crackled and there was a chaotic sound. The Tatar cavalry was caught off guard, and the dozens of horses that took the lead were immediately frightened, and the general people stood up, and a dozen cavalrymen were killed on the spot, and countless others were wounded. The horses and the like were in pain after being shot, and they took many of their horsemen with them.
The ranks of the Tatar cavalry were in disarray.
However, this is also their instinctive reaction, whether it is a large-scale cavalry impact on the infantry position or a chiseled formation between the cavalry and the cavalry, when they are about to be baptized by the rain of arrows, they will scatter out of instinct, and will not form a dense formation, only after two waves of arrow rain will they reunite to form a huge impact force.
Therefore, the three hundred Tatar cavalry were also the same urine, and they quickly dispersed, rushing towards the Ming official army looming in the woods, they were also holding their breath, as long as they rushed into the woods, even if the horses could not let go of their speed, condescending would form an invisible advantage.
But the Ming army apparently did not give them this opportunity, and immediately after the first wave of bullets, another group of 100 guns launched an attack on the Tatar cavalry. However, the effect of hitting moving targets was obviously not as good as that of ordinary training, and the results of this round of shooting were also very few, but the Tatar cavalry of about twenty people did not shoot off their horses.
Liu Dafu was not in a hurry, and immediately after the second wave, a third wave of musketeers filled in.
Three-stage strike, the musket method invented by Yunnan Mu Wangye, can shoot lead bullets continuously. However, the three-stage strike was a miracle for the infantry, but not for the cavalry.
It seems like a long time, but it's just three pulls on the trigger. After three rounds of fire, the Tatar cavalry had already advanced a hundred paces.
Zhu Houzhao shook his head secretly, these new troops still have considerable room for improvement in terms of shooting accuracy and reloading time.
Yu Dayou also shook his head, he looked at the same young man next to him, self-confidence is a good thing, but too much confidence is too much. The firebolt is sharp, but at this time it is not enough to compete with the Iron Knight.
After being quickly advanced by the cavalry, Liu Dafu did not show a panicked look. yelled, "Prepare for the Thunderbolt!" ”
Immediately, a soldier adjusted the twenty thunderbolts that had already been erected, and shouted loudly: "Ready!" ”
The firecrackers continued to shoot non-stop, but they were all free scatters. Seeing that the Tatar cavalry had entered the range of the Thunderbolt, Liu Dafu waved his hand and shouted: "Release!" ”
After an order, a series of muffled sounds sounded, and more than twenty long-range iron cucumbers flew towards the Tatar cavalry, covering almost all the space in front of them, left and right.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao laughed, the Buddha's anger Tang Lian is not only the anger of the Buddha.
The Tatar cavalry saw that there were more sparse and sparse black things flying out of the woods, and they didn't need to deliberately dodge at all, and after making a few smooth Thomas spins on horseback, none of those flying things could accurately hit the target.
All the Tatar wolf riders roared and laughed loudly.
Until the man who rushed to the front swung his knife and slashed an iron cucumber.
I only heard a loud bang, and then it seemed to be a chain reaction, and twenty iron cucumbers exploded one after another in an instant.
The steel balls hidden in it formed a dense rain of bullets at this moment, enveloping a radius of dozens of zhang.
Blossom on the bar! The originally invincible Tatar cavalry was reduced by a third of its strength directly after this round of shooting!
Countless horses neighed and fell to the ground, blood pouring profusely.
This kind of power was simply the powerful bombardment of shotguns in the face, and those fragile Tatar barbarians in leather robes were completely blasted into a sieve in the center of gravity of the dense explosion.
Yu Dayou was dumbfounded, and his jaw almost fell to the ground. The sight in front of him made him almost unbelievable, even a thousand archers were probably not enough to produce such a big result.
Liu Dafu laughed, and after the first one was launched, the second round was quickly launched under Liu Dafu's command, causing casualties among dozens of Tatar cavalry again.
"My lord, what kind of weapon is this!" Yu Dayou watched the invincible Tatar iron riders being harvested one by one like ripe wheat, and the surprise in his heart was almost irrepressible.
"Buddha is angry with Tang Lian!" Zhu Houzhao laughed: "But I'm going to call them the wrath of the Ming Dynasty now!" The wrath of the Buddha that any enemy who dares to attack will taste it! ”
