Tanjialing, located in a narrow strip of land between Kaixian County and Dongxiang County, is surrounded by dense jungles on both sides, only in the middle is a wide ancient road, and it is also the only road suitable for cavalry galloping.

But as soon as he entered Tanjialing with five thousand cavalry, many boulders rolled down directly on both sides, and the galloping horses and people were directly smashed to the ground, and then countless arrows were shot down, and in an instant, countless cavalry were hit by arrows.

"Lord Garrison, we are in ambush!"

"Don't panic, the enemy's arrow rain is sparse, although there are boulders falling, it doesn't pose a big danger, there shouldn't be many people, maybe they just want to attack us, so that we are afraid to continue to move forward, immediately order, run through Tanjialing as fast as possible, as long as we pass through here quickly, no one will be able to stop us!" Tan Hui didn't expect that he would be attacked here, and he didn't even guess that it would be someone from the Han family army who attacked them here.

Here, Yang Ming saw that Tan Harmony and the others showed no sign of stopping, so he ordered: "The fourth battalion and the military police brigade directly under it immediately intercept them from the front, and be sure to inflict heavy damage on them!" ”

"Yes!"

The fourth battalion is the first unit to be equipped with Hanjia guns, and has been conducting shooting training for nearly a month, Yang Ming asked the fourth battalion to intercept the cavalry of the official army head-on just to see if the flintlock pistol can really restrain the cavalry in this era, but for insurance, he still let the direct gendarmerie brigade line up with a spear nearly two zhang long and form a phalanx with the fourth battalion to avoid being broken through by the cavalry.

Tan Huo saw that there were thousands of short-clothed soldiers in front of him holding firearms and spears and arranged quite neatly, but he was also a little alert, and hurriedly ordered to stop, and secretly observed the team in front of him, but the more he observed, the more he didn't feel anything, and couldn't help laughing: "I don't know who their commander is, he actually let the soldiers hold such long spears, and arrange the muskets so closely, who doesn't know that although firearms can defeat the enemy, they can't resist the cavalry charge after all." ”

"No matter, rush over to me and break this group of short-clothed thieves from the side!" Tan Hui said that he brandished a big knife and galloped on his horse, and dozens of families beside him also immediately rushed to respond, urgently, thousands of cavalry rushed towards the fourth mark of the Han army like a tide, carrying mud and sand and yellow dust, the blade in his hand was bright but cold.

"Gun on the shoulder!"

"Get ammo!"

"Aim!"

"Pull the trigger!"

"Shoot!"

The military police brigade directly under the command standing at the forefront was a little panicked when they saw thousands of cavalry rolling in, if it weren't for the strict discipline regulations and the habits of high-intensity training in peacetime, coupled with the scolding of the commander Chen Dahari, I am afraid that these soldiers who had only entered the battlefield for the second time would have been frightened by the momentum in front of them and fled, and they had to tighten their spears tightly, although the official cavalry that was rushing now was still far away from them.

Even Chen Daharizi, the garrison of the military police brigade directly under him, couldn't help but secretly say: "After this battle, you must give advice to Gongzi, it is too difficult for the spear formation to deal with the cavalry, because the psychological pressure caused by the shocking pictures of these cavalry sprinting is too great for the soldiers!" ”

The soldiers of the fourth target in the back are a little better, first, the cavalry is not very close to them now, and second, there is a dense spear forest in front of them, which is more or less confident.

So they calmly aimed at the cavalry directly in front of them under the command of General Yang Dazhu and pulled the trigger.

Suddenly, after the flint strike sounded in unison, several white smoke erupted in front of the entire queue, and the sound of banging came one after another, and the cavalry who was sprinting a hundred paces away was directly knocked to the ground by thousands of iron bullets under the huge impact, and even the cavalry behind was also knocked to the ground.

"Good!" Seeing that the cavalry of the officers and soldiers in front of them were knocked down countless times by the soldiers of the fourth standard, the gendarmerie directly under them couldn't help but shout loudly, and their courage was also a lot stronger.

"What's going on? It stands to reason that a bird can't shoot so far, right? Tan Hui naturally knew the power of firearms, so he was planning to order the cavalry to disperse and charge when he was about a hundred paces away from the short-clothed thief in front, and to open the distance to avoid the scattering of firearms, and as long as the cavalry was dispersed, the firearms were sometimes not as accurate as the bow and arrow.

But what puzzled him was that the firearms in the hands of these short-clothed soldiers not only had a long range but also high accuracy, and they were also very dense, otherwise his side would not have fallen hundreds of cavalry in the first round of shooting. Just now, Tan Hui was still laughing at the queue where these hand-held firearms soldiers stood was too dense and it was inconvenient to fill the medicine, but he didn't expect that what these musketeers wanted was intensive shooting, and flintlock pistols were different from arquebuses, and there was no need to scatter fire at all.

"Rush over, they can only shoot once, and these damn thieves are standing in too dense a queue to calmly fill the fire rope, as long as we defeat the spearmen in front of us, we can easily defeat this group of damned firearms thieves!" Tan Huo gritted his teeth and rushed over first, and the cavalry of the official army, whose morale was frustrated for the first time, saw that the commander was sprinting forward, and they were also busy riding their horses again.

"I'm rushing over again, brothers in the back, you should continue!" Seeing that these officers and cavalry were still rushing over unscrupulously, the soldiers directly under the gendarmerie began to panic again, but at this time, Yang Dazhu, the general of the fourth battalion, did not give the order for a long time.

"Wait, when they get closer, we'll have another precision strike, and it's a continuous precision strike!"

As he spoke, Yang Dazhu squinted at the cavalry that was getting closer and closer, and when he saw that these cavalry were less than fifty meters away from him, he immediately shouted: "Shoot freely, but give me aim, immediately, quickly, shoot!" ”

After Yang Dazhu said this, he waved his hand, and there was a row of dense iron bullets shuttling through, and the well-trained fourth-standard soldiers held Han guns to carry out precise strikes at the cavalry in front of them at will, and again and again, the official cavalry fell one after another, and in less than half an hour, hundreds of corpses were dropped.

Tan Huo was also very puzzled when he saw this, and couldn't help but secretly say: "It doesn't make sense, how can the fire guns in the hands of these people be fired continuously, and the operation speed is so fast!" ”

"While the enemy is not on a stable footing, immediately change the ammunition, advance twenty meters, and conduct the third round of shooting!" Yang Dazhu shouted like this, Chen Daharizi was also busy directing the gendarmerie to advance twenty meters, and then Yang Dazhu ordered the soldiers of the fourth target to continue shooting, the Han gun is an improved version of the flintlock pistol, which can shoot four times per minute in a row, so it can hit the opponent one after another, so after several rounds of continuous shooting, Tan Huan's cavalry has fallen by thousands, and basically did not rush to within twenty meters in front of him.

Yang Ming, who was standing on a high place and watching, did not expect that the fourth standard equipped with the Han family gun would achieve such an effect when it resisted the official army, and even the spear array composed of the directly subordinate gendarmerie did not play much use, although this is also related to the narrow terrain of Tanjialing which is not conducive to the deployment of cavalry, but it has to be said that the flintlock pistol is indeed more suitable for the battlefield than the arquebus.

"It seems that Tan Huan can't hold out for long, and immediately told the second battalion to advance one mile, attack the rear road of the official army, and order the first and third battalions to prepare for the charge!"

At the same time as Yang Ming gave the order, Tan Hui also made the decision to retreat, he didn't want all his cavalry to be lost in this narrow mountain range.

But he could not withdraw now, because the fighters of the second battalion had blocked his retreat.

The second battalion, like the fourth, was also armed with muskets, but only originally captured and produced arquebuses. Although the arquebus operation and rate of fire are not comparable to the flintlock pistol, if you add spears to form an array, it can also restrain the cavalry, let alone the cavalry that has just been defeated.

When the cavalry of the officers and soldiers who withdrew later saw that the second battalion blocking the rear road was holding firearms like the short-clothed thieves blocking the front road, and that there was a spear formation in front of the firearms soldiers, they hurriedly stopped, fearing that they would be attacked again.

But it didn't take long for Tan Hui to find that the musket held by the second battalion was the arquebus he was familiar with, and it was completely different from the musket of the fourth battalion just now, not to mention that the number of people in the second battalion was small, so he decisively ordered: "This short-clothed thief is just a bluff, immediately rush over and defeat them!" ”
