Cavalry!

For thousands of years, compared to the infantry, the cavalry has its natural advantages, especially in China, for thousands of years again and again, the nomads with their cavalry superiority, again and again to the Central Plains brought disasters, but also has destroyed the Chinese civilization many times, the Western Jin Dynasty died in the Wuhu, the Northern Song Dynasty died in the Jin, the Southern Song Dynasty died in the Mongolia, the Ming Dynasty died in the Manchu Dynasty.

These nomads relied on mounted archery, on the superiority of cavalry over infantry.

Throughout the history books, almost from the first day of the appearance of the cavalry, the infantry had almost no advantage over the cavalry.

Of course - this is not absolute!

History has also taught the world that well-trained infantry can defeat cavalry as well.

Liang Yuqiu, who was riding on a horse, looked at the cavalry rushing over, although the field artillery had not yet been pushed to the gun position at this time, although the second battalion had not yet entered the formation to form a horizontal formation, although his troops were in a hurry, but the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and two words came out of his mouth.

"Look for death!"

That's right, they're just looking for death!

"Kill a Southern Barbarian and reward ten taels of silver! Twenty taels of silver for one foreign gun ......"

Riding on the horse, Zhang Chengliang shouted loudly, a foreign gun will reward twenty taels of silver, this is really not a loss-making deal. His uncle bought foreign guns from merchants from the south, and a gun cost at least 80 taels, and a barrel of gunpowder cost at least 50 taels.

Listening to the brigade commander's reward, the soldiers on their horses all howled excitedly. For these men, who are mostly singles in the countryside, the reason why they were twisters in the first place was for silver and women, which is also the difference between the Taiping Army of the North Road and the South, the Taiping Army of the South can slaughter the city and fight the vanguard, but it will hardly reward the soldiers, but the Taiping Army of the North Road, which is mainly based on the integration of twisters, will give a reward for marching and fighting.

Not only will they slaughter the city to deter the defenders, but they will also encourage the soldiers to tear and kill with plunder.

"Kill! Kill all these Southern Barbarians! ”

The roar of hundreds of horse bandits was truly terrifying, but it was far more terrifying than the roar of nearly five hundred horses galloping, and the earth seemed to shake with the hooves of the horses at this moment.

When these twisted cavalry attacked, they mostly charged with various pennants such as red, black, and yellow. From afar, it looked like a dark cloud, and when it approached, it saw only a red, black, and yellow flag, and when it got closer, only a large group of horses galloped in, and no one was in sight - although they did not grow up on horseback, they still learned the so-called nomadic trick, "kicking and hiding", and kneeling on the side of the horse when attacking. As far as the eye can see, I saw that the herd of horses was rushing like a turbulent wave, and the prospect could not be described as terrifying.

"Hmm...... Well...... It's scary......

That's just one sentence.

When Liang Yuqiu jokingly said this, he gave an order in the front team.

"Raise your gun!"

Under the commander's order, Hu Yuanshan immediately raised his rifle, the body of the gun with the bayonet looked a little heavy, although he was extremely nervous, but the long training made him raise the gun without the slightest hesitation.

"Aim!"

At the commander's command, all the warriors took their rifles to their shoulders and aimed at the enemy cavalry in the distance, billowing yellow dust.

As the sound of the horses' hooves continued to pound their hearts, the commander suddenly jerked his saber forward, and a deafening roar burst out of their throats.

"Shoot!"

In the next moment, in the instinct of weekday training, Hu Yuanshan and his comrades-in-arms pulled the trigger according to the commander's order, and the violent backseat of the gun hit their shoulders, and the moment the bullet flew out of the muzzle, white smoke filled in front of them, and the smell of gunpowder was blown to their noses in an instant under the blowing of the wind.

At the same time, the second-row fighters behind him also pulled the trigger, and hundreds of 11-millimeter rounds fired from a salvo of hundreds of rifles flew at a high speed of several hundred meters towards a target less than three hundred meters away. When hitting the cavalry that was moving forward at high speed like a wave, it was like a sandbag thrown at the flood tide, which seemed inconspicuous, but at that moment, it kept falling to the ground as if the war horse was tripping over the horse rope, and the fallen war horse even tripped over the war horse that followed behind.

"Quick! Brothers, kill all the southern barbarians......"

The moment he found that a puff of white smoke poured out of the ranks of the rebels, Zhang Chengliang immediately bowed down. Leaning on the horse's neck to protect his body, he had already drawn out a revolver, which he had bought for one hundred and thirty taels of silver, and only he and the guards around him had it.

Closer, closer......

Staring at the enemy army shrouded in gunpowder smoke, Zhang Chengliang wanted to stab the horse's buttocks in order to make the horse faster, he didn't expect these people's guns to shoot so accurately, to be precise, they could shoot so accurately from such a distance.

"Whoosh...... Whoosh"

But in an instant, he felt something slicing through his scalp, and the sound of his ears was the whooshing sound of tearing the air, the sound of bullets flying over his head.

"Ah......h

Looking around with the afterglow of his eyes, Zhang Chengliang saw that a few brothers around him were obviously unlucky, maybe people could also be hit by bullets, lost control at this time, the people on the horse were thrown to the ground fiercely, and the people who were thrown on the ground did not come to react quickly, and they were trampled under the horse's hooves by the horses that caught up behind, and the intestines and blood that were trampled out turned into a piece of red and black mud from the original yellow mud, if they were unlucky, they were trampled off their legs by the horses' hooves, and then they were trampled off their waists by other horses. Struggling and screaming in pain, killing them at this time, or rather, the head was trampled off by the horse's hooves. It became a gift to them.

Several of the wounded brothers fell from their horses, but their feet were still on the benches and they were dragged along the group by the horses that were running wildly, and the brothers let out a heart-rending wail, and the mud on their heads, faces and bodies was soaked black with blood.

But at this time, apparently, no one will stop to save them, they can only ask for more blessings. Occasionally, a brother would pass by him, and because he could not bear to suffer it, he would swing a knife at them.

At this time, death is tantamount to relief for them.

When there was a feeling of being bitten on his leg, Zhang Chengliang didn't have to think about it to know that he was hanging the lottery, and he couldn't stop at this time, if he stopped, he would definitely be hit into a pulp by the horse team rushing up from behind. I could only let the wound bleed there, and continue to ride the horse forward.

When the sound of bullets tearing through the air appeared overhead again, listening to the few wails mixed with the roar, Zhang Chengliang knew that this time he was afraid that a few more brothers would be put down, and the originally moving horse team pressure had now evolved into a one-sided slaughter.

The slaughter of infantry against cavalry!

This seemed to Zhang Chengliang to be almost impossible, but now, the ironclad facts were telling him that he was very likely to be unable to break through the enemy formation.

"Gun on the shoulder...... Put! ”

"Putting ......"

Round after round of salvos, at this time the rear loading advantage of the Han rifle was brought into full play, if it was a front-loading gun, they could only shoot three bullets a minute at most, but now, they can fire ten bullets per minute, or even more, a scorching lead bullet, like a dense hail, constantly falling in the dense charging horse team, in the wilderness without a trace of shelter, these hundreds of Taiping army horse team can only let the righteous army pour lead bullets rain on their bodies.

The twisted bullet could even penetrate a person's body, and then injure the people or horses behind, although the lethality was not great at this time, but it was enough to kill and injure people and horses, and the Taiping soldiers who rushed to the front were knocked to the ground by the bullets, and the riders who followed behind were obviously unable to avoid the horses and people who fell to the ground, and they were tripped and fell to the ground before they could do so. What awaited them was the horse's hooves that fell overhead.

Originally, the advantage of cavalry over infantry was like the impact on people's hearts when they relied on hundreds of horses, and in the past two years, Zhang Chengliang had again and again, relying on the impact caused by this cavalry team of hundreds of horses, and again and again to suppress the opponent from the momentum, even those who seemed to be very arrogant Huizi would immediately collapse when they were suppressed by him like this, and then they would shout, ride on horses and chase the enemy fleeing in all directions, but now what he encountered subverted his previous views.

Far from being afraid, the rebels who stood there pulled the trigger more quickly, reloaded more quickly, causing the bullets to rain down on them, causing the brothers around him to fall one by one.

"Kill! Kill them all! ”

Pulling the bolt again, Hu Yuanshan only had one thought in his mind when he was loading, at this time, he was like a numb robot who only knew how to load, aim, shoot, and then kill the enemy.

Only the dead don't hurt themselves!

This has been an unchanging rule on the battlefield for thousands of years, and after the initial panic, Hu Yuanshan, like his comrades-in-arms, had only one thought in his mind - to kill the enemy.

Reload, aim, shoot!

At this time, war has evolved into the simplest and most dangerous action.

The hundreds of cavalry that once seemed invincible, now there are only more than a hundred cavalry left, and some of them have even begun to rein in their horses and flee to the left and right when they see that the situation is not good.

Just as they were about to flee, the field artillery finally finished their preparations, and the gunners fired several shells into the distance without the slightest hesitation, and in the violent explosion, the fleeing enemy and their men and horses were blown into the sky.

Is that how it was defeated......

Just when Zhang Chengliang realized his failure, "swish......" With a sharp sound of breaking the air, he only felt a tingling pain in his chest, and he fell off the horse softly......
