Chapter 229: Grenadier Canister
The attacking centaurs were like a gust of wind, carrying smoke and dust to make it impossible to see the exact number. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The deputy general of the guard army with the red flag urged him to come forward and ask for battle: "Master, it's too late to put on armor!" Let's just fight! ”
Yue Tuo stared at the billowing smoke and dust, and his years of experience in fighting told him that it was a bluff to come and ride.
Yue Tuo decisively ordered: "The protectors attack!" ”
The adjutant general immediately gathered the guards who had not yet dismounted and put on their armor, and bravely rushed forward in the face of smoke and dust.
The rider got closer and closer, and suddenly he turned sideways, "swished" and shot several arrows, which were inserted diagonally.
The adjutant general of the protector stopped the escort and did not chase after him, and snorted coldly: "Mongols! ”
The fleeing Mongol cavalry circled in the distance, changed directions and continued to rush towards the flank of the Aixinguo team.
The adjutant general of the escort was just about to give the order to meet him, when another group of cavalry emerged from the smoke and dust.
This cavalry attacked in the opposite direction to the previous one. The two teams of Mongolian cavalry, one on the left and one on the right, were like stretching out their left and right hands on the steppe to pinch the necks of the patriotic team.
The adjutant general of the Protector had expected it.
The division of the left and right flanks is the unchanging style of the Mongols for a hundred years.
The adjutant general divided the red-flag-studded escort into two groups, the left and right, and each went out along the shortest route to intercept it.
The Mongols are still the mangu gangsters who run away and shoot arrows, but the patriotic protectors have a hard time dealing with it this time.
The Mongols are a new force, and the horses of the Aixin Kingdom have been in the sun for a day, and they are not as good as the Mongols' horses in the sprint.
The Manchurian bow of Aixinguo is not strong on the horse, the rate of fire is not as good as the Mongolian bow, and the most terrible thing is that the guards are not armored, and the style of steady and steady fighting in peacetime cannot be played.
Seeing that the red flag guards were at a disadvantage in the entanglement with the Mongol horse team, another group of cavalry came out of the smoke and dust.
Yue Tuo was taken aback.
Not only is the habit of the Mongols to divide their troops into left and right wings, but also the love of the new country and the Ming kingdom.
At this time, it was too late for the red flag guards to divide their men and horses to intercept the third cavalry.
This cavalry must not be allowed to storm the red-flaged ranks.
Yue Tuo ordered loudly: "The armor is in formation!" ”
The well-trained red-flag-inlaid armor soldiers did not care about wearing half of the armor, and quickly formed a dense formation with "heavy armor" on the outside and "short armor" foot archers.
The third cavalry that rushed towards him saw that Ai Xinguo had formed a formation and stopped charging.
Yue Tuo had already understood at this time that the ambush was thundering and raining, and the total number of people and horses on the three roads was less than two hundred.
As long as they withstand their first wave of impact, Aixinguo can win the game.
……
Yang Ritian led the third cavalry to wander around the horse.
Several members of the group quickly jumped off their horses, grabbed the wooden monoclency hanging from the saddle, and thrust them into the grass.
Someone took out a distance gauge and put it on his eye, and told the distance out loud.
These people held the monocular gun with both hands to adjust the angle, so that the plumb line on the gun coincided with the distance scale under the gun.
Someone quickly lit the arquebus fuse of the wooden one-eyed gun with a fire breaker.
The mouth of these wooden single-eyed guns is thicker than that of ordinary iron three-eyed guns, and the barrels are longer than those of ordinary iron three-eyed guns.
Each monocular gun has two arquebus leads, one long lead at the mouth and one short lead for the fire door.
"Bang"
"Bang, bang"
The one-eyed gun sounded one after another, and the sound was much quieter than that of the iron three-eyed gun.
A white cylinder flew out of each one-eyed tube, and sporadically fell into the formation of the Patriotic New Country.
Yang Ritian shouted, and the third cavalry team suddenly charged again. The speed of the thirty or so horses became faster and faster, and they were automatically divided into three squads on the left, center and right, and each squad was scattered into three groups on the left, center and right.
As the team charged, Yang Ritian's men and horses became more and more scattered.
……
Yue Tuo was a little puzzled.
Is someone going to commit suicide?
Suddenly, there was a big mess behind him.
Yue Tuo turned his head sharply to scold, but found thick white smoke billowing out of the formation, and the sneezing of the horses in the formation sounded.
Yue Tuo's heart suddenly tangled, "It's not good! ”
Sneezing is a sign that a horse is afraid.
Seeing the white smoke swaying gently in the wind in the procession getting thicker and thicker, Yue Tuo secretly complained that the timid horses were most afraid of such a huge and slow-moving thing.
In the red flag, only the horses of the guards are trained war horses, and the horses of the armor soldiers are ordinary horses, and the horses that pull the carts and carry things are basically horses. At this time, if even one horse is frightened, it will cause a group of horses to go crazy.
"Bang", "Bang, Bang, Bang".
There was another round of sounds, and then a few more white things fell into the formation of the Patriotic New Nations.
The white smoke seemed endless, and Yue Tuo's eyes were blurred, and the oncoming Mongols couldn't see clearly.
Yue Tuo suddenly understood why the Mongols were scattering and charging.
"Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows! ”
Yue Tuo opened his throat and shouted desperately.
It's late.
The white smoke engulfed Yue Tuo's banner, the red tassels on the guerrilla hats of the generals, and the command system of Aixinguo.
In the thick smoke, Yue Tuo heard the sound of bowstrings and arrows around him, the sound of arrows popping in his body, the sound of horses' hooves skimming, the explosion of three-eyed guns and the wailing of Manchu.
Yue Tuo sneezed loudly, and the war horse under him tossed his hooves restlessly.
There was a neighing of horses behind him, followed by a gallop of hooves.
"It's over."
Yue Tuo's heart was like someone stabbed him.
The horses in the New Barisan Nasional were frightened.
……
After Yang Ritian charged, he swept past the frontier of Aixinguo and returned to the distance to observe the results of the battle.
The new wooden one-eyed gun fires smoke bombs are powerful, and the range is far greater than that of the big bow of the new country.
Such a good thing, Master Leader gave it an extremely ugly name, called "grenadier".
The size of the new smoke bomb is exactly the same as that of the grenadier canister, and it is divided into a "quick-acting type" and a "long-lasting type" with alkaline surface. The "Quick Effect" is fired before the charge, and the "Persistent type" is fired after the charge.
Under the cover of the smoke screen, Yang Ritian's men and horses scattered and attacked under the nose of Ai Xinguo, recklessly harvesting their lives with bows and arrows and three-eyed guns, and most importantly, throwing in a few tear gas canisters before leaving.
The coalition's tear gas canisters made of yellow gunpowder with sulfur and chili flour are the nemesis of horses, and the sensitive nose of horses cannot stand this stimulation at all.
Unfortunately, the tear gas canisters are too large to be fired, so they must run to the enemy, light them and throw them in with their arms, and then immediately turn their horses and run.
The effect of the tear gas canisters was immediate, and as soon as this side was thrown in, the horses over there were shocked.
The frenzied horses ruthlessly trampled the soldiers of the New Nation who had blocked their escape, neighing and rushing out of the white smoke.
The cart was stuck between the corpses of the soldiers of the Patriotic New Country, unable to move, and frantically stumbled backwards.
With the help of this group of frightened horses, this group of people who love the new country will collapse much faster than the most optimistic estimates of the General Staff.
The tactics of a team of the 2nd Battalion, which was fighting with the Patriotic New National Protectors, changed abruptly.
Battle led the cavalry to charge diagonally and approached the Patriotic Protectors, shooting out the Mangul as usual, and the Patriotic Protectors immediately fired arrows back.
Just as the cavalry was about to leave with their horns like the traditional mangus, Battle led the cavalry to suddenly rush towards the Patriotic Protectors.
Both sides were already past the range of their bows and arrows, and at this time, according to the normal way of play, the double-fired cavalry slashed hard.
The heroic patriotic new country inlaid with red flag guards immediately drew their sabers and shouted and rushed over.
The soldiers of the 2nd Battalion of the insidious Dajin Province and Katsumanho's left flank took off the electric three-eyed guns hanging from their saddles.
The Patriotic Protector shook his sabre and approached the soldiers of the second battalion, and the soldiers of the second battalion were facing a gun.
The protectors of the patriotic new country, who did not wear armor, immediately fell down with a howl of flesh and blood.
The indomitable patriotic protectors went forward one after another, braving the enemy's artillery fire to advance and advance.
Battle gently turns his wrist and presses his thumb again.
After the three-gun fight, Battle replaced the saddle with another loaded electric three-eyed gun.
The oncoming adjutant general of the patriotic national protector opened his eyes in disbelief, and his expression clearly said: "You are playing badly!" ”
It was Battle's fourth bell that answered him.
The moment the two horses staggered, Battle stretched out his hand, and the red tasseled hat of the deputy general of the Patriotic New Country Protector was in Battle's hand.
The deputy general of the Patriotic Protector fell behind Battle with a thud.
The two sides are staggered.
Battle turned his horse's head and prepared to lead his team to launch a second hedge, but found that the only seven or eight horses left in the Patriotic Protectorate did not fall back into the wilderness.
Battle buckled up his red tasseled hat and roared to lead his team to reinforce another horse team in the second battalion.
Due to the limited equipment of the coalition forces and the lack of three-eyed guns, this horse team is still fighting with the Mangu gang tactics of the Patriotic New Protector Army.
As soon as Battle's team approached, the Patriotic Protector immediately turned their horses and ran.
Battle did not chase either, and the two horse teams joined forces to chase and kill the scattered Aixinguo foot warriors.
On the grassland, the father suddenly cried and shouted that the blood of the mother flowed like a river.
